Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 345 The Campaign Begins!_2

Higgins took the design blueprint and looked it over with the others by his side, and it didn't take them long to finish.

However, after roughly going through the design blueprint again, he and the people around him exchanged glances, showing a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

They were indeed disappointed.

In fact, thinking about it, it was somewhat an overkill for the Sky Alliance to send Higgins' team to test and evaluate the Tank Type 1 Armor; this team's capabilities not only extended to testing and evaluating, but they could also easily participate in the re

Through the huge French window of Atted's study, Cyril could clearly see a fleet that had already ascended; this massive fleet, comprised entirely of large warships, numbered over fifty vessels, with battleships alone accounting for ten of them, and even had a floating mothership as its flagship!

This fleet would represent Machine City in the war against Rocky!

Two months had passed since the last family meeting concluded. At that meeting two months ago, the Mairente Family, with the vast majority of the Elders' approval, decided to wage war against Rocky. Now, the campaign was finally set in motion!

Although it may seem inefficient for a decision made two months ago to only be implemented today, the reality was quite the contrary. For a large family like the Mairente, the longer the preparation time, the more fearsome they were!

For example, during these two months, everyone in the Mairente Family was busy; on one hand, they investigated all sorts of information related to Rocky, while on the other, they were mobilizing the family's forces to the fullest.

Also, since this was an action taken by the entire family, even though Atted expressed the greatest degree of opposition, it was futile, and as the Clan Leader, he was required to deploy troops.

Although Atted did everything he could to resist the orders to deploy, sending less than half of the troops compared to Lexington and Kelly, don't forget that he was the Lord of Machine City, a top-tier large Sky City. Any fleet from within Machine City would be impressive by any standard.

Compared to the passive Atted, it was Lexington and Kelly who were the most proactive in the campaign against Rocky. Not only did they deploy fleets of massive number and scale, but each also mobilized a mid-sized Sky City!

The sky is boundless and vast, and to wage a war over such long distances, it's absolutely impossible without the support of a Sky City. Therefore, Lexington and Kelly each sent out a mid-sized Sky City to ensure the smooth progression of the campaign.

As far as Cyril knew, in addition to the two mid-sized Sky Cities, the total number of warships dispatched by the Mairente Family reached over four hundred. As for the commander-in-chief of this expedition, it was none other than Lexington's son, Abraham!

Without a doubt, the Mairente Family was resolute in leaving no avenue of survival for Rocky this time!

"Father, is there no possibility of stopping?"

Seeing that her father didn't respond, Cyril turned her head and looked at Atted's back and asked again.

Unfortunately, she still didn't hear an answer, only Atted's sigh.

"How long will it take to reach Backhill Village from the family's location?"

After a sigh, Atted asked a question.

"At most one month's time."

As she spoke, Cyril had already moved in front of Atted and, seeing her father's face had aged significantly more than it had two months before, she felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.

As if he had read Cyril's thoughts, Atted smiled and waved his hand, "I'm fine... It's just that whether the family can remain untroubled like now after a month is uncertain..."

With that, Atted leaned back into his chair, sighing again.

"Father, what... what do you mean?"

But Cyril clearly didn't understand what he meant.

"I'm asking you." Seeing the puzzled look on Cyril's face, Atted leaned forward, resting his hands on the desk, "How many fleets are there in Rocky's Thunderhawk City?"

"According to intelligence, there won't be more than twenty large warships. The strongest of these is likely a Fifth-Generation Battleship. As for Void Magic Warriors, there should only be a small squad, with the strongest naturally being Rocky himself and his White Demon Armor."

Having prepared their intelligence work in advance, the Mairente Family had a clear picture of Rocky's current strength.

Hearing her words, Atted then said, "Given this, have you ever considered why the family would deploy two mid-sized Sky Cities and over four hundred warships to eliminate him?"

"That..."

"Lexington and Kelly, they are playing with fire..."

Before Cyril could gather her thoughts, Atted said helplessly.

"Cyril, how long has it been since you last saw Athena?"

"What?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Atted closed his eyes wearily and murmured, "Go and talk with her, see if she can think of something to help you."
