Chapter 387: Chapter 358: A Change in the Weather…
Lying on Liliya’s legs, Rocky spoke weakly and, after finishing his sentence, did not speak again, feeling as though he had fallen asleep.
Upon hearing his words, Liliya frowned and thought for a long time, but ultimately she couldn’t understand…
Thus, a day passed.
By the next day, which was the fourth day since the Mairente Family’s troops approached Backhill Vige, Felly received thetest news and thus appeared before Rocky again.
“My Lord! The Sky Alliance has arrived! The troops of the Sky Alliance have arrived!”
Hurrying into Rocky’s study room, Felly entered the door and excitedly announced.
He had just received thetest information from Te Nong that Sirius City, the closest to Backhill Vige, had arrived, bringing with it more than two hundred warships!
After all, Sirius City was a major Sky City with its own fleet of over one hundred and fifty vessels, and as a Contact City, it also had Alliance Army stationed there permanently. Although a considerable number had been sent on missions, at least fifty to sixty warships remained.
Thus, the total number of troops from Sirius City was less than the Mairente Family, but their arrival at Backhill Vige at least gave the vige some defensive capability. And don’t forget, besides Sirius City, another medium-sized Sky City was also en route to Backhill Vige. Once this city arrived, the military strength at Backhill Vige would further increase, making it even harder for the Mairente Family to take over the vige.
Undeniably, the response of the Sky Alliance to this matter was very quick, taking just four short days to react.
“My Lord! Backhill Vige is saved!”
After conveying this news to Rocky, Felly spoke excitedly.
He knew that Rocky had been worried about Backhill Vige recently, to the point of being in a terrible state, so Felly felt certain that hearing this news would excite Rocky.
But he was mistaken, Rocky did not show any excitement or joy.
“I know.”
Nonchntly nodding his head, Rocky, just like yesterday, said nothing else, then dismissed Felly.
Such a nd response was not at all what Felly had expected; he stood in the study staring at Rocky, then turned to nce at Liliya, who was also sitting in the study.
“You can leave, arrange your own tasks, my Lord.”
Just nodding her head, Liliya had nothing else to say, so she allowed Felly to leave first.
However, once Felly had left, she turned to look at Rocky, her brows furrowing as well.
“Rocky, you can’t keep going on like this.”
Honestly, Liliya did not understand why Rocky was in such bad shape these past few days; initially, she thought it was rted to the attack on Backhill Vige, but now it seemed not to be the case.
Regardless of the reason, she knew this could not continue; after all, he was the City Lord of Thunderhawk City, and several thousand people in the city were waiting for him!
“Rocky, now that the reinforcements from the Sky Alliance have arrived, and more troops areing in a few days, we also need to take action.”
Looking at Rocky, Liliya said.
Now that the allied forces had arrived at Backhill Vige, although their total military strength was still less than that of the Mairente Family’s troops, they were at least capable of resistance. At this point, Rocky couldpletely and should indeed lead Thunderhawk City into action.
Regrettably, despite Liliya’s words, Rocky remained in his usual despondent state, and it took him a long time before he finally spoke: “Let’s wait till tomorrow…”
After saying that, he spoke no more and simplyy down on the sofa and fell asleep.
Seeing Rocky like this, Liliya felt helpless and even a bit scared, because his behavior suddenly reminded her of the past.
Back when Rocky had been deceived by the Mairente Family and driven to Thunderhawk City, he had been just like this, as if he had copsedpletely, doing nothing and spending all day in the City Lord’s Mansion. How simr it was to now?
“Rocky…”
Fearful that Rocky might revert to his former state, Liliya couldn’t helping over to him, but before she could speak, she saw Rocky on the sofa wave his hand, obviously wanting to hear nothing and say nothing.
Seeing this, Liliya could only sigh and then leave the study.
Time passed like this for another day.
The next day, which was the fifth day since the Mairente Family’s troops approached Backhill Vige.
That day, no more news came from Backhill Vige; once Sirius City had arrived, the Alliance Army shed formally with the Mairente Family’s troops. The alliance side was led by arge Sky City, supported by over two hundred warships and several Void Magic Squads.
The Mairente Family’s side was led by two medium-sized Sky Cities, with over four hundred warships and several times more Void Magic Squads than their opponents.
The two sides arranged their formations in the sky above Backhill Vige. Although they had not yet started fighting, they had reached a point where tension was running high, and a major battle could break out at any moment.
It was also on this day that the intelligence from the Shadow Alliance arrived.
Since making contact with the Shadow Alliance in Eternal City, Rocky had been paying them ten thousand gold coins every month, thus receiving weekly intelligence updates from them, which included information on major and minor events urring in the sky. The news of Denise winning the Combat Skills Arena season championship with the Holy Angel Armor had alsoe through this kind of intelligence.@@novelbin@@
Today, thetest intelligence from the Shadow Alliance arrived again.
