LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 442: Chapter 407: Escape from the War Zone

With Lexington personally coming to the rear, a series of adjustments were made to the Rebel Army’s rear under his command.

These adjustments were not only critical but also effective, and what’s even more important is that after this series of adjustments was complete, Rocky’s whereabouts were quickly discovered!

Among the many orders issued by Lexington, a crucial one was to have the City Lord of Chenxiu City, Goth, send a reconnaissance force to conduct a thorough search of the entire battle zone in order to find Rocky quickly.

Goth, already irritated by Rocky’s constant elusiveness, naturally didn’t slack off in the slightest. He not only dispatched all the reconnaissance ships from the city but also sent out warships, swearing to find Rocky!

As a result, nearly a hundred reconnaissance ships and several hundred warships surged out of Chenxiu City overnight and spread out in all directions like a massive net, starting the search for Thunderhawk City’s location.

Moreover, this time, Goth learned from previous lessons and didn’t set any boundaries for the reconnaissance troops. They were to search throughout the entire battle zone, tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned until they found Thunderhawk City!

…

It has to be said, Goth’s actions alone indicated how much he also despised Rocky, hence his full cooperation with Lexington on all fronts.

And under such a large-scale search, it was natural for Rocky’s location to be found quickly…

This time, Rocky wasn’t just leading a troop wandering the vast battle zone; he was with a Sky City, and more importantly, after being toyed with by him several times, the enemy had wised up. They would no longer take him lightly, preferring to use the most brute-force method to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire battle zone rather than giving him any chance. As a result, merely two days later, on July 3rd, Rocky was found by a reconnaissance force dispatched by Chenxiu City.

“The north side?”

After the reconnaissance ship force found traces of Rocky, they immediately reported the situation to Lexington, who frowned upon hearing the news.

While frowning, he stepped up to the sand table and began to study it closely, and standing next to him was an old acquaintance—Baron Wolin.

In this great war, the Mairente Family had pulled out all the stops, not only sending out all their Sky Cities but also fully mobilizing family members. Lexington himself presided over the Tulip Battle Zone, and his son was even leading a portion of the family’s forces to confront the Sky Alliance at Backhill Village, with even the increasingly sidelined Baron Wolin brought into the battle zone.

However, because he was no longer highly regarded, Baron Wolin, although he followed the family to the battle zone, basically did nothing significant—mostly just helping Lexington with menial tasks. But this time, upon learning that Lexington planned to deal with Rocky, Baron Wolin volunteered to take part in the battle, proactively requesting to join the fight!

No one hated Rocky more than Baron Wolin, for all of his current misfortunes could be attributed to Rocky.

A year ago, Baron Wolin was one of Lexington’s most trusted subordinates, highly valued, and even Atted had to show him some respect, otherwise he wouldn’t have been granted Thunderhawk City.

Unfortunately, after the battle with Rocky, Baron Wolin was finished. Not only had he lost all his life savings, but he also lost Lexington’s trust, so much so that later, even though he served under Lexington, he was almost completely disregarded.

For Baron Wolin, it was all Rocky’s doing that led to his downfall.

And in thinking this way… he wasn’t really mistaken…

For this reason, when Baron Wolin learned that Lexington was going to confront Rocky, he immediately volunteered to fight, clearly seeking revenge. As for his request, Lexington gladly accepted.

In Lexington’s view, at least on the matter of dealing with Rocky, Baron Wolin was still worth relying on. After all, their grudge was too deep. Faced with Rocky, Baron Wolin didn’t need any motivation or promises to fight to the death, and this was exactly what Lexington needed.

“Rocky is at this location, right?”

Standing in front of the sand table for a while, Lexington pointed to the sand table and asked.

“Yes.”

Nodding his head, Baron Wolin confirmed with certainty.

“To the north…”

Seeing Baron Wolin’s nod, Lexington continued looking at the sand table, frowning in thought for a good while before he spoke, “Is Rocky planning to meet up with Wilton?”

Staring at the sand table, Lexington muttered to himself.

According to the sand table, Rocky’s current location was in the northeastern direction of the battle zone; if he continued in this direction, he could leave the battle area in roughly ten days. However, once he exited the battle zone, if he turned around and headed west, he would re-enter the war zone, specifically the region controlled by the Sky Alliance. The frontline where the Sky Alliance and the Rebel Army were engaged was precisely in the northwest of the battle area.

Therefore, by looking at the route of the march, Lexington could not disregard the possibility that Rocky was planning to leave the battle zone and then meet up with the Alliance Army.

“My lord, are you suggesting that Rocky is planning to escape?”

Upon hearing Lexington’s muttering, Baron Wolin at his side quickly inquired, appearing quite urgent and anxious.

Lexington could understand his urgency; after all, his own arrival with thousands of warships presented Baron Wolin with the best opportunity to annihilate Rocky. Hating Rocky to the bone, he naturally did not want to let him escape.

It wasn’t just Baron Wolin who didn’t want Rocky to escape—Lexington felt the same. Rocky had been a thorn in his side for far too long and had caused too many troubles for the family, and he too did not wish for Rocky to continue living.

Yet, judging by Rocky’s escape route, it seemed he really did want to leave the battle zone.

Firstly, given Rocky’s situation, fleeing with Thunderhawk City left him with little room to maneuver. The flexibility of Sky City could not compare to that of a troop; it lacked the ability to move chaotically everywhere. Once targeting a direction to flee, they were unlikely to change course.

Secondly, Rocky had done enough in the Tulip Battle Zone!

In just a span of two months, he started with hijacking merchant ships, then staged ambushes, and in the end, he managed to destroy a Sky City right under everyone’s noses. With so much stirred up, he had definitely done plenty.

So combining these two points, Lexington believed it was very possible that Rocky wanted to escape the battle zone. His current route further confirmed this possibility, and to be fair, if Rocky were to leave the battle zone now, it truly would be an extremely wise choice.

Only…

With that thought, Lexington sneered. Now that he had arrived, how could he let him escape so easily?
