Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 787 - 749: Seizing the initiative

Chapter 787: Chapter 749: Seizing the initiative

Since The Three Great Alliances seemed to have him figured out, Rocky didn’t mind giving them a few surprises.

After his conversation with Kashu ended, there were already more people in the meeting hall, and the attendants continuously announced the arrivals. One by one, the famous city lords arrived at the venue during this time, and not long after that, the hall’s doors were firmly closed by the attendants.

Clearly, everyone expected to attend this mobilization meeting had arrived.

As the doors were shut, the atmosphere in the hall grew more solemn, and soon after, everyone noticed three people walking onto the second floor of the venue.

Seeing these few people, a small number of city lords were somewhat puzzled, but most drew in a sharp breath, because these three were none other than the top figures of The Three Great Alliances!

The Chief Elder of the Sky Alliance—Adolf.

The Chief Elder of the Magic Energy Research Institute—Simonuo.

And finally, the Chancellor of the Kafka Empire—Ludwig.

These three individuals represented The Three Great Alliances and were the most authoritative figures within them. Their simultaneous appearance undoubtedly signalled that the pre-war mobilization meeting had officially commenced!

Standing in the middle of the three, the Prime Minister of the Kafka Empire, Ludewino, was the first to speak. The hall, which had been very quiet since their arrival, became even more silent with his words. Every person looked up at the second floor, focusing their attention on this Chief Elder.

“Ladies and gentlemen… The purpose of gathering everyone here today, I believe, is already known to all present.”

“We shall retake the land!”

Without any superfluous talk, Ludwig went straight to the point with a strong and determined voice, “The demons have occupied our land for over a hundred years. During this century, we have constantly striven, developed, and our forebears have launched counterattack wars time and again, all with the ambition of one day returning to our land.”

“Unfortunately… The first two counterattacks ultimately ended in failure, but is that a reason for us to stop?”

“No! The previous failures serve as motivation for each one of us to move forward! To return to the land, we have never given up; we have always been growing stronger, up until today.”

“Today, we boast thousands of Sky Cities. Our power is greater than ever before, so the time has come, the time to return to the land!”

“Return to the land!”

“Return to the land!”

“Return to the land!”

It must be said that Ludwig’s words were extremely stirring. As soon as he finished speaking, the assembly of city lords couldn’t help but shout out loud, the atmosphere immensely electrified.

In the midst of this process, Ludwig, who was on the second floor, slowly extended his hands downward to gesture for calm, and then he continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, I know that deep down, everyone harbors a trace of doubt. After all, the results of the first two counterattack wars both ended in failure, so it’s natural to wonder whether we will win this time.”

“Such thoughts are nothing out of the ordinary, but I can assure everyone here that this time, we will certainly win!”

“If we look at the time, sixty years have passed since the last counterattack war. During these sixty years, we have been recuperating and breeding in Sky City, constantly enhancing our own strength. Up to today, in every aspect, we have made multiple advancements compared to sixty years ago.”

“We possess the most advanced warships, we have the most cutting-edge Armor, and every single one of us will give our all.”

“The reason I am here today is that I am acting on an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor. The Kafka Empire will fully participate in the counterattack war, with every warship and every soldier of the Empire committing one hundred percent to this war!”

When Ludwig finished these words, he looked to the side, and as his voice faded, Adolf, the Chief Elder of the Sky Alliance, also spoke up, “The Sky Alliance will also commit fully to the counterattack war, with all member nations partaking in the battle.”

“The Magic Energy Research Institute will do the same; we will share all of our technological research with everyone to help win this great war.”

Finally, Simonuo, the Elder from the Magic Energy Research Institute, spoke up. It’s common knowledge that the Magic Energy Research Institute’s most formidable aspect isn’t its military power but its technology. Apart from the lost technology of Mana Runes, the most advanced technologies of today are all within the grasp of the Magic Energy Research Institute. And from the sounds of it, the Elder Simonuo indicated that the Institute is willing to share these technologies for the counterattack war, an unequivocal sign of determination.

After the leaders of The Three Great Alliances had spoken, a thunderous applause filled the venue, as it had to be acknowledged that The Three Great Alliances were indisputably the strongest forces of Sky City. Were one to diagram the combat power of Sky City, the share belonging to The Three Great Alliances would easily surpass half. Therefore, facing a battle of this magnitude, they are not only the main force but if they are willing to commit fully to this war, then the odds of victory would undoubtedly increase.

In truth, The Three Great Alliances were certain to utilize their full strength in this matter, for the eyes of all Sky City were upon them. If they did not exert their utmost effort, how could anyone else be expected to engage wholeheartedly in the conflict? And if these influential city lords present did not give their all, The Three Great Alliances, even with half of Sky City’s combat power, would assuredly be unable to win the counterattack war.

Hence, in a mutually reinforcing manner, The Three Great Alliances were bound to put forth their full efforts.

And with such declarations from The Three Great Alliances, those present could somewhat settle their minds because not only were all of these individuals important figures, but each was also exceedingly astute. None would be used as a pawn for no reason. If The Three Great Alliances were not putting in everything they had, neither would the rest commit to any action. Thus, the declarations from The Three Great Alliances served as a reassurance to everyone, which was precisely the objective of this mobilization meeting.

Moreover, as soon as the words of the Elder from the Magic Energy Research Institute had fallen, Chancellor Ludwig spoke once more, “Ladies and gentlemen, in this counterattack war, not only will The Three Great Alliances give our all, but others will do the same, such as…”

At this point, Ludwig paused, then turned his gaze to the first floor’s crowd, “Like Sigma Corporation and Uranus Corporation, who will provide the most recent Armor to all the troops participating in the war.”

As these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes simultaneously fell upon Kashu and Denise, each look more fervent than the last.

And in that moment, Ludwig’s voice was heard again, “Furthermore, I believe that others will follow suit, such as City Lord Rocky.”

While speaking, Ludwig’s gaze settled on Rocky, and then he offered a slight smile, “No doubt everyone has heard, City Lord Rocky’s research on Rune Technology has already been put into practice. Therefore, without a question, City Lord Rocky will also share the Rune Technology with us all, helping us reclaim the land.”

When Ludwig concluded this statement, every eye in the audience turned towards Rocky, and upon hearing these words, Rocky himself first looked startled, then smiled. So that was the move… That was the game they were playing…
