Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 755 - 717: Can’t Stay Idle

Chapter 755: Chapter 717: Can’t Stay Idle

This time, Rocky did not only summon confidants like Liliya and Orton to his side but also called for Archimonde, as currently, the Apple Tree Corporation could be considered Rocky’s only ally. Although in comparison, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce seemed to be closer to Rocky, it was, after all, only a medium-sized business, and the help it could offer was limited. It could not compare to a giant like the Apple Tree Corporation.

When Rocky asked him, Archimonde smiled and said, “City Lord Rocky, you know that the orders for Void Magic Armor and Tank Armor have been coming in continuously lately. Besides, the Corporation is also building new factories and further mastering Rune Technology. I believe it won’t be long before we can mass-produce Rune Battleships.”

Archimonde was very clear about what Rocky wanted to ask. Naturally, it was whether the Corporation could provide him with a large number of warships. As for the Corporation, this naturally wasn’t a problem, just as Rocky would call upon Archimonde, a representative of the Apple Tree Corporation, in such a situation. Now, Rocky had also become one of the most important partners of the Apple Tree Corporation, without a doubt.

But even so, a corporation was still a corporation, possessing an unusual business model. Take the Rune Battleships, for instance. Although Rocky had handed over some of the Rune Technology to the Corporation, and the Corporation had already manufactured several warships and handed them over to Rocky, the Apple Tree Corporation was still quite cautious.

Here, it is necessary to mention the Guild President Pansen. If it were someone else, upon acquiring Rune Technology, they would most likely put it into production as quickly as possible and promote Rune Battleships as fast as they could. Only by doing so could they make money. But Pansen didn’t do this. While he did continue to produce Rune Battleships, it wasn’t for sales but rather to meet Rocky’s needs. On the other hand, he was researching Rune Technology, which alone was enough to show Pansen’s methods and schemes.

He knew very well the sensation that releasing Rune Battleships onto the market would cause and the immense profits it would bring the Corporation. But Pansen was also very clear about how delicate the current situation was.

The third counter-offensive war was about to erupt, and The Three Great Alliances were coveting Rune Technology. Although other major forces had not stepped forward at this juncture, everyone’s hearts were far from calm. So, if the Apple Tree Corporation were to flamboyantly introduce Rune Battleships at this point, to put it nicely, it would immediately become a focus; to put it bluntly, it would become the target of all arrows. It’s possible that the attention The Three Great Alliances had on Rocky might even shift to them as a result.

Naturally, this was not the outcome Pansen wanted to see. The Apple Tree Corporation might indeed be a giant, but it was still just a corporation, and absolutely should not become the target of all arrows. Hence, Pansen was very cautious about the Rune Battleships. Although it had already been several months since they acquired Rune Technology and the Corporation had developed real Rune Battleships, they had yet to officially sell them.

On the surface, it seemed like it was because the production couldn’t meet the demand and could only satisfy Rocky’s needs first. But in reality, Pansen was deliberately controlling it.

Similarly, while Pansen was obviously restrained in this matter, he was also actively preparing at the same time, such as actively researching the Rune Technology provided to them by Rocky, designing new-style warships with Rune Technology at the core, and actively expanding the shipyards. All these efforts actually represented Pansen’s preparations for the time after the issues between Rocky and The Three Great Alliances had passed before making a move.

In fact, Pansen had a clear plan in mind regarding this matter. He was to support Rocky with all his might. Once Rocky survived this crisis and the war truly erupted, he could then mass-produce and sell Rune Battleships, because by that time, it would mean that all the methods The Three Great Alliances had against Rocky had failed. As his most steadfast ally, Pansen would no longer have any concerns.

But if Rocky failed, Pansen wasn’t worried. After all, the Apple Tree Corporation was a titan in warship manufacturing. Even if The Three Great Alliances acquired Rune Technology, it wouldn’t be too detrimental to him. He could even cooperate with The Three Great Alliances instead.

In such a situation, Archimonde naturally had to fully convey Pansen’s intentions. So, he immediately assured Rocky that the second batch of Rune Battleships would be delivered within a month.

Before the upgrade and transformation of Thunderhawk City, the Apple Tree Corporation had delivered a batch of Rune Battleships, totaling a hundred vessels. However, these hundred warships were only part of what they had agreed to deliver to Rocky, and a considerable portion of the warships had not yet been delivered. What Archimonde referred to were these undelivered warships.

Upon hearing his words, Rocky nodded and didn’t say much else, because there really wasn’t much need for further words. Now he and the Apple Tree Corporation were tied to the same battle line, and Rocky believed the Corporation would steadfastly support him.

With that, the several matters he was most worried about had been basically settled. The development of the White Demon Armor was underway, with completion guaranteed within half a year. The armament plan was also progressing quite smoothly, and there were no issues with the Apple Tree Corporation. If things continued to develop in this manner, Rocky believed that in half a year, both he and the forces under his rule would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

However, after dismissing everyone, Rocky wasn’t idle and went directly to see Wynn.

Now that Thunderhawk City had replaced the Super Crystal and the city’s foundation had been expanded many times, the next step would be the expansion of the city area. Once the city area expansion was completed, the upgrade of Thunderhawk City could be considered to have reached a stage of completion. Then, just as long as the population breached the ten-thousand mark, Thunderhawk City would completely become a medium-sized Sky City.

This was the most time-consuming and laborious step in upgrading a city, as expanding the city area required a large amount of labor and investment. In this regard, Wynn could only plan, not decide. The one who made the decisions was Rocky.

Therefore, when they met, Wynn explained to Rocky all the material and manpower needs for the expansion of the city area. Rocky asked Aileen and Old Jack to purchase materials on one hand and to recruit workers within the city on the other, striving to start construction as soon as possible.

Only when all this was done did Rocky finally get a chance to rest, but it wasn’t for long.

“He Nan…”

That day, while Rocky was studying a tome on Mana Energy Conduction, Liliya suddenly told him that He Nan, the Chief of the Fireteng Tribe, had arrived.
