LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 437: Chapter 402: Rob! Rob! Rob!

The moment the Defensive Net disappeared signified that Hongshou City had been utterly breached!

“Order the Fleet to enter the city!”

Watching the Defensive Net vanish, Rocky’s heart surged with ecstasy. He immediately issued the command, “Have Felly lead a team of warships to control the Skyport, and Cassan to take the Fleet to seize the City Lord’s Mansion, giving him a Void Magic Squad to capture City Lord Andy alive.”

“The rest will follow me to the city district to take control of the residents, with Liliya and the Void Magic Squad providing support.”

As orders were issued one after another, the massive Fleet split into several groups and flew in different directions towards Sky City, following Rocky’s instructions to take control of the entire city.

The first objective was the Skyport, an extremely important area for any Sky City. Once the Skyport was under control, the troops would have a foothold, and everything that followed would be much easier.

…

Next was the city district. Although Hongshou City was just a small Sky City and the smallest one within the Mairente Family, it still had a population of over four thousand. If these people started rioting, it would definitely pose a big problem, so Rocky personally led the main force to the city district immediately. At the same time, he had Liliya lead the Void Magic Squad to assist, in case the residents resisted.

Last was the City Lord’s Mansion. The mansion, being the core of the Sky City, ironically became less important once the city was overtaken. Nevertheless, Rocky still sent a fleet and a Void Magic Squad to capture City Lord Andy.

With these forces acting in concert, they quickly headed towards the various districts of Sky City, starting to gradually take control of each area.

Rocky led the largest contingent of troops, so when he arrived at the city district, hundreds of warships suddenly appeared above, like a vast dark cloud, casting a shadow over the entire area.

At the same time, Liliya and her Void Magic Squad leaped out from the warships, immediately dispersing and flying towards the various blocks.

Faced with such a sudden military presence overhead, the residents of Hongshou City, who had never seen the likes of this before, panicked. They hid inside their homes, not daring to step outside, leaving the vast city district in dead silence.

These residents had already heard the deafening sounds of artillery fire as Rocky began the siege. But as ordinary civilians, what could they do?

Though they lived in Sky City and were its most important components, they had no control over the city’s fate. Thus, from the start of Rocky’s assault, they hid in their homes; there was little else they could do.

And now, with Rocky’s army overhead, there was even less the residents could do.

Peering through the window at the warships overhead, a father clutched his wife and two children tightly, his face filled with terror and helplessness.

A burly man sat in his home, drinking while watching Void Magic Warriors fly past the window, his eyes void of any life.

An elderly couple peered out their window at the scene outside. The old man’s face was filled with bitterness. He turned to see his wife’s face streaked with tears and could only smile sadly as he patted her on the back…

Confronted with an enemy descending from the skies, the residents of Hongshou City felt overwhelmed and helpless.

“Residents of Hongshou City, all of you must immediately gather at the Skyport!”

At that moment, a resounding broadcast came from the largest warship in the sky. It instantly made the citizens lift their heads and look towards the windows.

“Everyone! Immediately head to the Skyport to assemble!”

“Everyone! Immediately head to the Skyport to assemble!”

“Immediately head to the Skyport to assemble!”

The broadcast from the sky kept repeating the same command, urging all the city’s residents to gather at the Skyport.

Upon hearing this voice, the children and young people in the city looked at each other, clueless about what was happening. However, the adults turned deathly pale upon hearing it, because they understood the world much better.

Afterward, some residents opened their doors in response to the broadcast, and Void Magic Warriors immediately landed on the streets. They organized those who had stepped out and directed everyone to head straight for the Skyport.

But not every resident was so compliant. Many chose to ignore the broadcast or, more accurately, to defy it. This resulted in the majority of doors remaining firmly shut, showing no sign of opening.

“Drag these people out for me!”

Seeing many still hiding in their homes after the broadcast had sounded for a while, Liliya, in command of the Void Magic Squad, issued the order!

With her command, the Void Magic Warriors, who had already spread out to occupy the various blocks, immediately sprang into action.

In the face of these Void Magic Warriors, mere wooden doors were no obstacle. Before long, sealed doors were kicked open one by one, and the residents hiding inside were pulled onto the streets, willing or not.

Naturally, there was resistance during the process, but any resisters were summarily executed without exception!

And so, within mere minutes, over a hundred people in the city were dead. Resisters, those who disobeyed orders, were all killed on the spot!

Some might consider this to be incredibly cruel. Yes, it was indeed cruel, but such are the rules of the world. It is also the price of defeat!

In this world, the population is the most important resource. So, once a Sky City was overtaken, the first thing plundered was its people; Rocky was no exception and showed no mercy.

According to data provided by the Shadow Alliance, Hongshou City had over four thousand residents—the smallest population among all the Mairente Family’s Sky Cities. But even then, the total number was more than that of Thunderhawk City. So how could Rocky let such an opportunity slip by? He intended to take as many people from the city as he could.

Besides the population, anything else that could be taken was fair game, such as supplies.

As a transport city, Hongshou City carried a large amount of war supplies destined for the front lines. After the city fell, these supplies naturally fell into Rocky’s hands.

Then there was Hongshou City’s own treasury. As the city was tasked with transportation, Rocky would never believe if someone claimed that Andy, the City Lord, hadn’t embezzled anything during the process. Andy might not have dared to take much, but he would have taken some regardless. Plus, considering the city’s own stockpiles, the contents of the treasury were sure to be considerable, and these too were something Rocky had no intention of leaving behind.

All of these things were Rocky’s spoils of war, so, in the end, whether it was people, money, or goods, Rocky intended to take everything he could. Everything that could be plundered, would be plundered!
