Lord of the Sky City

With the appearance of the Alliance Army, the great war between Thunderhawk City and Wild Horse City also came to an end. Everyone might have different opinions about the outcome of this war, but those opinions were of no importance to Rocky because, not long after, he left Eternal City where he had been stationed for over half a year, escorted by the Alliance Army, to head for another city.

Dawn City.

Summoned by Farey, it was Dawn City that came to meet Rocky. This was a large Sky City with a population of 150,000 people. The area of Sky City was several times larger than that of Thunderhawk City. Even amongst all the cities in the Sky Alliance, it was considered a city of considerable strength. Furthermore, Dawn City was not just a member of the Alliance; it was also a Contact City established by the Sky Alliance.

The sky is vast and limitless. Even though the Sky Alliance had its own airspace, it occupied only a small part of the sky. Therefore, the Alliance would station some of its members across various locations in the sky to form a network, enabling members to get in touch with the Alliance anytime, anywhere.

Dawn City was such a city, so under Farey’s dispatch, the city managed to arrive in time.

When Rocky brought Thunderhawk City near Dawn City, which was several times larger, he and Farey went into the city together. Not only did he meet the Lord of Dawn City, but also under the lord’s witness, he formally joined the Sky Alliance!

Yes, Rocky had finally joined the Sky Alliance!

Logically, joining the Sky Alliance was an occasion requiring a certain ceremony. After all, for any Sky City, this was no small matter, and hence, the process should be conducted with a sense of ceremony to convey solemnity. In fact, to achieve this effect, the Sky Alliance would choose a specific time each year for new members to join.

However, Rocky’s joining was far from complicated. This was mainly because his membership was so sudden, and there had been no preparation for it. Furthermore, neither the Sky Alliance nor Rocky himself wanted to waste too much time on this matter. The Sky Alliance wanted Rocky to join quickly, and he wanted to join the Alliance just as fast, so neither party dwelled too much on the issue.

Under these circumstances, the membership was quickly settled. After joining, Farey also fulfilled all the conditions Rocky had previously proposed.

The first was Contribution Points.

With Rocky’s official entry into the Alliance, he also received the thousand Contribution Points he had requested before, which he and Farey had arranged beforehand. Farey had kept his word; the thousand contribution points had already been added to Rocky’s contribution record in the Alliance, and he could even use them right now.

The second was the matter of the mines.

After officially joining the Alliance, Farey informed Rocky that as long as he could keep the mines of Backhill Village under his control, he could manage them himself. However, he had to surrender seventy percent of the mined resources. As long as he could do this, not only would the mines be under his management, but he would also receive a considerable amount of Contribution Points every month as a management reward. Additionally, the Alliance would dispatch troops to reinforce him in case of an attack.

After settling these two matters, Rocky had finally taken care of a major concern. He had gotten his wish!

To celebrate this joyous occasion, everyone in Thunderhawk City, from the ordinary residents to officials like Liliya, celebrated for three whole days.

It’s no wonder everyone was so happy. As one of the largest forces in the entire sky, there were far too many cities that wanted to join the Sky Alliance, yet only a few ever managed to. Many Sky Cities did not qualify, but Thunderhawk City had succeeded, which naturally was a cause for the entire city to rejoice.

In fact, not only were others happy, but Rocky himself was also very pleased because this was what really mattered to him. After all, he was the City Lord of Thunderhawk City!

In Rocky’s view, joining the Sky Alliance was an important turning point for him in this sky. The development of Thunderhawk City, his own development, and the research of Runes, among other things, would all take a significant turn with the Alliance membership. It was an unequivocally firm step he had taken. And, with this step done, the path ahead would be much smoother.

For this reason, Rocky specifically purchased a large amount of goods from within Dawn City, allowing the city’s residents to truly enjoy the occasion.

However, while everyone else was celebrating, Rocky only joined in the revelry with everyone for the first day. For the next few days, he was too busy to relax, constantly occupied with various tasks.

There was no helping it; having officially joined the Alliance, Rocky now had many more matters to attend to.

Joining the Alliance was like taking the first step, but how to proceed thereafter was for Rocky to consider. Of course, he already had plans for what to do next.

The first thing he planned to do was to spend his Contribution Points!

As mentioned before, within the Sky Alliance, Contribution Points were akin to a currency that could be exchanged for many valuable items unavailable elsewhere. Rocky’s reason for asking Farey for a thousand Contribution Points was to skip the time required to accumulate them, allowing Thunderhawk City to advance significantly with the help of the points.

Now that he had joined the Sky Alliance and received all the Contribution Points, his next step was to spend them all, as holding onto them wouldn’t increase their amount.
