LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 441 - 406: Extraordinary!

Chapter 441: Chapter 406: Extraordinary!

Rocky indeed had created a serious problem for Lexington, making him, who already had little standing within the Rebel Army, even more passive.

But similarly, for Lexington, trouble also meant opportunity!

If he could eliminate Rocky in the war zone in one fell swoop, wouldn’t that count as a great achievement for the entire war zone? Wasn’t this the chance he had been waiting for, the one that could let him and his family stand tall and proud in front of everyone?

So when the others were still arguing endlessly, Lexington suddenly stood up, volunteering for the mission!

And seeing him stand, Alliance Leader Changfeng’s face also showed a hint of a smile, as if he had been waiting for Lexington to do just that.

In fact, that was indeed the case; Changfeng was really waiting for Lexington!

As the overall commander of the war zone, no one understood the situation there better than Changfeng, nor did anyone understand the Chiefs and Clan Leaders present better than he did.

Although on the surface, these people were united together against the Sky Alliance, who among them didn’t have their own schemes?

Take the matter at hand, for instance: those who wanted to send a large force back for defense were all forces and families with small Sky Cities in the rear for transportation. Each one of them was worried that their own small Sky Cities would meet the same fate as Hongshou City and thus were eager to see a major force dispatched to the front line to surround and annihilate Rocky.

As for those who insisted on maintaining the offensive, they were all families and Chiefs who had achieved remarkable military feats on the battlefield. Obviously, these people did not want to divide their forces but hoped to seize the moment and take down the Alliance Army at once, for in doing so, they would make a major contribution to the victory of the entire war zone, and naturally, they would stand to gain much more.

Therefore, while it was correct to say that everyone was united against the Sky Alliance, each person also had their own designs—a situation inevitable in the Allied Forces.

In such circumstances, how to balance everyone’s concerns with the overall situation on the battlefield was a problem that Changfeng, as the overall commander, could not avoid; fortunately for him, his status and abilities were strong enough. Otherwise, facing so many Clan Leaders and Chiefs, another person would definitely not be able to hold their ground, but Changfeng could.

Regarding the matter of Rocky, Changfeng had long had his own plans. He intended neither to ignore it nor to send a large army to surround and capture Rocky but instead planned to assign the Mairente Family to deal with this matter.

There were already grievances between Rocky and the Mairente Family. Lexington was also the one who knew Rocky best among everyone present, and since he had not been very prominent all along, he urgently needed a chance to vindicate his family’s name. Therefore, publicly and privately, Lexington and the Mairente Family were the best candidates to deal with Rocky.

Following this, Changfeng issued a series of orders and made a series of deployments.

He quickly withdrew a medium-sized Sky City and a thousand warships from the front line and handed them over to Lexington, instructing him to lead this large force to the rear to surround and capture Rocky. He also issued commands for all the small Sky Cities involved in transportation in the rear to come under Lexington’s command immediately, assisting him in the operation, and ordered Chenxiu City to provide all the necessary support.

Regarding these orders, the people from other families did not object, because the Sky Cities and troops that Changfeng mobilized were all from the Mairente Family itself, and he did not encroach upon anyone else’s interests. Even as Lexington left the front line, there were now fewer people vying for military achievements at the front.

As for those who were worried about their Sky Cities in the rear facing danger, they were even more agreeable to this arrangement. Although the troops sent by Changfeng were far from a large army, with Lexington personally taking command, and with the support of over a thousand warships and the full backing of the rear, it seemed clear that even if Rocky had tremendous skills, his good days were over.

Thus, by the next day, July 1st of year 118, Lexington personally took command at Soaring Feather City, leading over a thousand warships to set off from the front line, charging directly into the heart of the war zone!

At the same time, once Lexington had set off personally, he immediately issued a cascade of commands to the rear of the war zone.

Firstly, he ordered all small Sky Cities in the rear responsible for transportation to halt immediately; those close to Chenxiu City were to return directly, and if the distance was too great, they were to await in place for the forces that had previously supported Hongshou City to come and escort them.

After all, Lexington was Lexington—a former faction Chief and now the Clan Leader of his family. In terms of foresight and thoughtfulness, he was far beyond the average person.

He was well aware that although he was leading a large army, the front line was exceedingly long, and even if he pressed on without stopping, it would still take several days to reach the rear. During this time, if Rocky were to take action again, it would be fully possible for him to capture another small Sky City. Therefore, he immediately ordered the rest of the Sky Cities to halt to prevent any mishaps.

Such measures would inevitably delay supplies to the front line, but times had changed. Now that Rocky was causing havoc in the heart of the war zone with Thunderhawk City, it was better to have slower resupply than to have the enemy wipe them out entirely.

Secondly, he contacted Goth of Chenxiu City, asking Goth to dispatch all available troops to scour the entire war zone in the hopes of finding Rocky’s location as quickly as possible.

Lastly, he instructed Goth to reduce the scope of the rear of the war zone and to move Chenxiu City immediately, urging it to approach the front line as fast as possible to shorten the overextended battle line.

After Lexington issued this series of commands, everyone gave him a thumbs up!

Because his actions had addressed the most critical aspects of the situation.

By ordering the small Sky Cities to return or to wait in place for support, he effectively cut off all possibilities for Rocky. Without the small Sky Cities as opponents, what could he do, attack Chenxiu City?

By having Goth send out reconnaissance troops, he exerted pressure on Rocky because, after recent events, the search would no longer be limited around Chenxiu City but would encompass the entire war zone. This left no loopholes for Rocky to exploit.

Finally, he gave the key order for Chenxiu City to move closer to the front line immediately. One of the main reasons Rocky had found the opportunity to strike at Hongshou City was the excessively long battle line of the Rebel Army, which gave Rocky an opening. Therefore, by ordering Chenxiu City to mobilize and reduce the distance to the front line, it was like killing two birds with one stone. Once the battle line was back to normal and the front and rear could respond to each other as before, all issues could be resolved permanently.

It had to be said that when Lexington took action himself, it was indeed different!

And as his series of orders were conveyed downward, the Rebel Army’s rear immediately began to act. In compliance with his commands, the small Sky Cities responsible for transportation either headed back to Chenxiu City or rendezvoused with the relief forces. Meanwhile, Chenxiu City dispatched almost all of its fleets to carry out a large-scale search of the entire war zone, while Lexington himself spurred his forces forward in this process, showcasing his acumen as a leader of his family!
