Chapter 354: Chapter 328: Utterly Unreasonable (Part 1)


    Seeing Rocky’s fleet, Leopold furrowed his brows tightly.


    Nelson had been staying in Backhill Vige for the past few months, so he wasn’t aware of the major events that had taken ce in the outside world; Leopold, however, was different. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he was remarkably well-informed, thus fully aware of Rocky and the affairs of Thunderhawk City.


    In the recent months, Rocky and Thunderhawk City had be the focus of the entire world. First, they announced the newest technology developed under the leadership of Aniye; then Rocky killed the son of a Marquis of Kafka Empire in the Arena; and finally, the most sensational news of all was that he, being the City Lord of a small Sky City, actually dered war on Wild Horse City and initiated the conflict.


    This series of events had made Rocky the undisputed person of interest in recent months, attracting the attention of countless people. So much so that even if one didn’t want to know about him, it would be difficult not to, as he was the headliner in all the news for a while.


    Under these circumstances, it was natural for Leopold to know what kind of character Rocky was and that he had already joined the Sky Alliance. So when he met Nelson on the way and learned that it was Rocky who had taken Backhill Vige, his heart sank.


    Previously, when Nelson sent a message to Leopold calling for aid, he didn’t mention who the enemy was. This wasn’t due to negligence, but rather because Nelson himself didn’t know who the enemy was. Thus, without a second thought, Leopold hade to their aid.


    However, upon discovering that the enemy was the currently prominent Rocky, Leopold felt this matter was going to be problematic.


    Just think about it, since Rocky dared to dere war on Wild Horse City, a medium-sized Sky City, would such a man care about the threats from the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild? Or even the city behind the guild, Proud Dragon City?


    Clearly, he wouldn’t.


    The reason Rocky had a fallout with Wild Horse City was precisely because he wiped out the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group! So, Leopold knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to scare Rocky away with just hismerce guild or even the city behind it.


    Moreover, let’s not forget that Rocky isn’t a lone wolf; he has joined the Sky Alliance. The Alliance Army intervened to stop the conflict between him and Wild Horse City, which shows how much they value him!


    In this situation, Leopold was at a loss.


    If they take a gentle approach, Rocky definitely wouldn’t be afraid of threats.


    If they take a forceful approach, Rocky has the backing of the Sky Alliance.


    Faced with an enemy who wouldn’t yield to either approach, what was he to do?


    After all, he was just the president of a Chamber of Commerce. Although wealthy, he was not the lord of a city and couldn’t really stand toe to toe with a Sky City, let alone oppose a massive entity like the Sky Alliance.


    With these thoughts in mind, Leopold couldn’t help but turn back and re at Nelson fiercely, growing increasingly angry the more he looked at him.


    If Nelson had informed him sooner that the enemy was the sought-after Rocky, then Leopold would definitely have chosen a more moderate approach to resolve the situation. Even if the worst result was that Backhill Vige couldn’t be held, they could still have evacuated the more than five hundred people in the vige, along with the warships, supplies, and other materials, couldn’t they? How did ite to a situation where he lost both his wife and soldiers…


    But now, there was no turning back. His own Chamber of Commerce’s fleet, as well as the Proud Dragon City’s fleet, had already arrived—it was like an arrow on the string that must be shot.


    After that, Leopold took a deep breath and prepared himself. Even if this time they couldn’t take Backhill Vige back, he wanted to at least rescue the more than five hundred people and the remaining supplies, aiming to minimize the losses for his guild. He believed that with the strength on his side, achieving this was still possible.


    “President, they are sending a ship over!”


    As Leopold was contemting this, the fleet’smander had alreadye to his side and then pointed into the distance while speaking.


    Following the direction of the Commander’s finger, Leopold soon saw a gigantic battleship that had broken from the formation and was flying toward his direction.


    “All Void Magic Warriors to your positions, order the warship to approach the opponent.”


    After ensuring that all the Void Magic Warriors aboard the warship were in their ces, Leopold also had his gship leave the fleet and head toward the War Steed.


    He had positioned the Void Magic Warriors, not with the intention of doing something upon meeting the other party, but simply to protect himself.


    In the battle against Wild Horse City, City Lord Rocky had made a name for himself with a remarkable feat of five consecutive kills, earning him the moniker ‘the flying Demon’, which made Leopold quite prudent about meeting Rocky without any precautions.


    nked by no less than six Void Magic Warriors, Leopold’s gship quickly drew near the War Steed, and the two massive warships interlocked their hulls upon close approach, soon bringing each other clearly into view.


    “Are you City Lord Rocky?”@@novelbin@@


    Standing at the ship’s rail, Leopold shouted as he looked at Rocky d in White Demon Armor.


    Unfortunately, Rocky did not respond to his call, instead, it was n by his side who spoke up.


    “Who are you to dare invade the territory of the Sky Alliance!” n bellowed beside Rocky.


    Upon hearing his words, Leopold was momentarily stunned, before he turned his gaze to n. “I am Leopold, Guild President of the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild. May I inquire who you are?”


    “Alliance Ambassador, n.”


    Holding his head high, n dered his identity, and uponpletion of his introduction, Leopold furrowed his brows.


    Leopold certainly knew the meaning of the title Alliance Ambassador – an official stationed within a Sky City belonging to the Alliance, responsible for the liaison between its members and the Alliance. The position might not hold vast power, but it was of great importance, especially in situations like the present, because in such matters, the stance of the Alliance Ambassador represented the stance of the Alliance, making it a pivotal role.


    And from n’s earlier words, Leopold had already sensed something was amiss. The other party had not questioned him about why he intended to invade Thunderhawk City or Backhill Vige, but had directly challenged him on invading the territory of the Alliance.


    Dealing with someone like n, it was vital to hear the unspoken implication in his words. Thus, Leopold had already discerned the Alliance’s position from n’s statement – Backhill Vige… now belonged to the Sky Alliance…!


    “…”


    With furrowed brows in contemtion, Leopold knew the situation was bing increasingly difficult. Still, he steeled himself and shouted, “Lord n, Backhill Vige has belonged to the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild for half a year…”


    “Guild President, please hold your tongue!”


    Just as Leopold was about to exin, n interrupted him. “Guild President, you are invading the territory of the Alliance and threatening its members with military force. What do you intend to do? Do you wish to be enemies with the Sky Alliance?”


    “Guild President Leopold,mand your fleet to retreat, or else I will report this matter to the Alliance Army and then do not me us for deploying troops against Proud Dragon City!”
