Chapter 456: Chapter 420 The Empire Takes Action!

Rocky had no good solution for how to handle the over three thousand prisoners in his hands, so he was open to Berg’s suggestion.

People were important, but those who could live peacefully in Thunderhawk City and contribute to its development were the ones Rocky really needed. As for the uncooperative ones, those who wanted to return to their original families and could potentially hinder the development of Thunderhawk City, Rocky did not need them, no matter how many there were. Therefore, he did not mind Berg laundering this batch of prisoners of war.

Although it would cost a whole thousand people in the exchange, as long as the rest remained compliant, the price was worth it. Moreover, Thunderhawk City’s capacity could only accommodate five thousand people, while the prisoners plus the original inhabitants already exceeded six thousand. Reducing the number by a thousand was just right.

In these circumstances, Rocky agreed to Berg’s suggestion; however, this could not be implemented immediately. They would have to wait until the war was over, or at least until Berg had gone to Nut God City Airspace, before he could make external contacts to handle this matter.

Therefore, when Rocky returned to Thunderhawk City, he issued an order for Old Jack to place the three thousand prisoners of war in the vacant city district. On one hand, this allowed them to lead normal lives; on the other hand, the Guard Corps was assigned to closely watch over them to ensure that no issues arose.

With that, this major concern was temporarily alleviated.

…

After this, Rocky had no more issues to handle.

Although he was currently in Tulip Battle Zone, he no longer needed to participate in the warfare there because the situation in the battle zone had significantly changed from before.

Having received military reinforcements from the Sky Alliance, the Alliance Army’s forces had been significantly replenished. Wilton now commanded tens of large and medium-sized Sky Cities and thousands of large warships, along with nearly a thousand Void Magic Warriors. The army’s size was now comparable to the Rebel Army, and in terms of quality, it even surpassed the Rebel forces, which reversed the overall situation in the battle zone.

While Rocky was resting in Autumn Water City, the battle zone might have seemed calm around him, but in reality, fierce battles were raging!

During this time, the Alliance Army, commanded by Wilton, fought and won one battle after another. Leveraging their advantages in numbers and quality, they secured multiple victories and had fully taken control of the airspace over Tulip City.

Facing the surging momentum of the powerful Alliance Army, the Alliance forces commanded by Chief Long Wind kept retreating, and had now retreated to the airspace that once belonged to Chenxiu City, nearly being pushed out of the battle zone!

Clearly, with sufficient military reinforcements, the Alliance Army had by now crushed the Rebel Army, composed of various forces and families, finally showing the true strength of the Sky Alliance in the Tulip Battle Zone.

Under such favorable conditions, there was nothing left for Rocky and his associates to do. The Alliance no longer required the participation of their smaller Sky Cities, so for the next period, Rocky, as had been previously arranged by Wilton, kept Thunderhawk City moored near Autumn Water City, planning to rest adequately before he, along with Karina and Berg, would move to the Alliance’s rear, namely to Nut God City Airspace.

Thus, a month passed quickly.

In this month, the trio of Rocky had completely recovered from their previous battles; both their forces and the city’s inhabitants had shaken off the war’s weariness. The next thing they had to do was head to Nut God City Airspace, and as soon as they entered its airspace, no matter how the upcoming battles turned out, unless the enemy directly attacked the Alliance’s heartland, it would no longer concern them.

But just at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

Just as the trio was preparing to meet Wilton to leave the Tulip Battle Zone, a sudden message came from the front lines: the Alliance Army had suffered a great defeat!

In a battle initiated by the Alliance Army, they had been disastrously defeated. The losses were unimaginable—over a thousand warships had been sunk, and one medium-sized and one large Sky City had been completely destroyed in the battle, with the participating troops almost entirely wiped out.

This news reached Autumn Water City and shocked Wilton greatly!

Over the past month, the Alliance Army had consistently held a significant advantage in battles, and continuous victories had already demoralized the Rebel Army. There were even reports from internal sources that, due to consecutive defeats, severe internal strife had broken out within the forces led by Chief Changfeng.

All signs had indicated that the complete rout of the Rebel Army was imminent. How could such a thing suddenly happen?

Was it possible that the Rebel Army had rallied at the last moment?

Of course not.

Upon receiving the message from the front lines, Wilton immediately convened an emergency meeting with the military command, and it didn’t take long to clarify the situation.

The Kafka Empire had made a move!

This answer came to light after several discussions.

Given a string of defeats over a month, regardless of the Rebel Army’s morale, their force size alone could not have achieved such a brilliant victory. To annihilate more than a thousand Alliance warships and destroy both a medium-sized and a large Sky City, mere tactics and strategy would not suffice—significant military support was necessary.

Thus, the Rebel Army must have received a massive reinforcement to achieve such a result, and at such a time, only the Kafka Empire had the capacity and the audacity to provide that support.

As one of the three top powers, the military strength of the Kafka Empire hardly needed any emphasis. Indeed, among the top powers, the Empire might not control the most cities or possess the most advanced technology, but its military was the strongest!

Different from the Sky Alliance and the Magic Energy Research Institute, the Kafka Empire was a true state, possessing the largest and most elite Imperial Army under the vast skies!

Soon, this was also confirmed by the intelligence department in the rear. Not just in Tulip Battle Zone, but in the other three war zones as well, substantial Imperial Army forces from the Kafka Empire had appeared.

Clearly, after half a year of probing and observing, the Kafka Empire, which had orchestrated this war against the Sky Alliance, had ended its period of observation and personally intervened!

With the Imperial Army stationed in the Four Great War Zones, the situation changed anew, indicating that the great war between the two top powers had truly begun!
