Chapter 440: Chapter 405: Taking the Field Personally!

The Mairente Family is a well-known large family, yet among the many forces and families involved in this war, it is far from being the largest, especially when compared to some Alliances, the Mairente Family could even be described as very small.

Therefore, when faced with the questioning of the Domination Alliance Hierarch, Lexington, the Clan Leader, his complexion changed several times, but in the end, he did not retort.

For one thing, the scale of the Domination Alliance was second only to the War Alliance, and it was the main force in this war, with the Alliance Hierarch being the deputy commander of the battle zone and having a significant say; Lexington had no way to refute.

Secondly, he himself truly had nothing to say.

Originally, regarding this great battle, Lexington had been full of ambition, planning to use this war to completely propel his family into the top tier, becoming a major force rightfully recognized in the sky, however, the results since the beginning of the war were vastly different from what he had expected.

Not having fired the first shot of this great battle, this aside.

But in the subsequent battles, the performance of the Mairente Family was also lackluster.

Although Lexington had committed all three of the family’s large Sky Cities and five medium Sky Cities, as well as five small Sky Cities to the Tulip Battle Zone, the results were almost negligible, apart from joining other Rebel Armies in a few major battles, they had hardly won any battles on their own and even lost a medium-sized Sky City in one engagement.

As such, let alone what others thought, even Lexington himself felt that his family played a mere bit part in this war, with or without them making little difference.

This naturally left Lexington quite frustrated, but he had no solution.

Because logically speaking, the Mairente Family’s performance should not have been so poor, but unfortunately, due to being tied down at Backhill Village by two medium-sized Sky Cities and three to four hundred warships, this did not significantly affect the overall war, but it had a substantial impact on the Mairente Family itself.

As is well known, the Mairente Family is composed of three major factions, with Lexington, Kelly, and Atted each leading one of the factions. Cyril’s defection led to Atted’s complete downfall, so no troops from him and Machine City were brought along this time, similarly, the troops from Machine City were not brought either, which represented a significantly large force.

Therefore, the Mairente Family was already short on forces, and with some left behind in Backhill Village, this made the number of Sky Cities committed to the Tulip Battle Zone seem substantial, but the troops that could actually be mobilized were not that many.

In a battlefield where thousands of warships are frequently deployed in battle, without troops, how could any victories be achieved?

And without accomplishments on the battlefield, how could there be any say?

That was precisely Lexington’s predicament, he had very little say within the Rebel Army of the battle zone, so regardless of whether he was facing Eva’s mockery or the Domination Alliance Leader’s questioning, Lexington had no way to rebut.

In fact, Lexington was not stupid but quite intelligent, knowing that he had little say here, so he seldom spoke usually, listening to whatever others said and generally not making himself noticeable while also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to turn things around for himself and his family in front of everyone.

However, instead of waiting for an opportunity to arise, trouble came.

And of course, it was Rocky!

Again, Rocky…

Perhaps it was fate, but Lexington never expected that in a war of this caliber, Rocky would once again stir up trouble, and furthermore, had arrived in the Tulip Battle Zone, unluckily once again affecting him!

So much so that now, even if Rocky were to say to his face that Hongshou City was just coincidentally his target, Lexington would not believe it, he was now convinced that Rocky was targeting him!

“Alliance Hierarch, deploy troops, we cannot allow a Sky City to operate in our territory, it’s too dangerous.”

“If we deploy troops now, what about the front line? This is our chance to crush Wilton once and for all, withdrawing the frontline forces would mean losing this opportunity.”

“If we cannot secure our rear, what can we do at the front line? Haven’t you realized by now that all this is Wilton’s trickery? His major retreat is precisely to create an opportunity for Rocky to act, so we must eliminate Rocky as quickly as possible.”

“I disagree! Wilton’s major retreat did create an opportunity for Rocky, but it also put himself in jeopardy. We should seize this chance, success or failure hinges on this battle!”

As Lexington’s face was clouded with uncertainty, the others in the hall had already started discussing the matter, paying no heed to him.

The people present took Rocky’s emergence very seriously. A considerable part believed that troops should be immediately called from the frontline to besiege him, deploying a large force since Rocky managed to destroy a small Sky City within a day, indicating his considerable strength that must be eliminated quickly, or else it would lead to endless problems.

This line of thought was clearly correct because the location where Rocky appeared was too sensitive, situated right between the frontline and Chenxiu City. If left unchecked, he effectively severed the supply line between the frontline and the rear. If the rear’s supply line was cut, how could the front continue to fight?

However, there was also a substantial number who believed that if troops, especially a large number of troops, were moved from the frontline to besiege Rocky, then the victories won on the frontline with great difficulty could not be sustained. For the past half month, the Rebel Army had been advancing swiftly with continuous good news, finally defeating the Alliance Army led by Wilton. Now was the perfect opportunity to expand the victories or even to establish a victory, an opportunity that should not be wasted.

This line of thought was equally reasonable, because whether or not Wilton was coordinating with Rocky, in the end, he was being continuously routed by the Rebel Army, and the losses during that process were quite substantial. Therefore, if the Rebel Army pressed their attack resolutely, they might completely defeat Wilton and the Alliance Army.

These two opinions were at a deadlock, each having their own valid points, even the War Alliance Leader Changfeng was furrowing his brow throughout.

Who could have thought, that Rocky, someone these prominent figures normally wouldn’t even glance at, would cause them such difficulty in this war?

“Your Excellency Alliance Hierarch!”

And just at this moment, just when everyone was in heated debate, Lexington, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke up!

As he did, Lexington immediately stood up, and then he said to Changfeng, “Your Excellency Alliance Hierarch, leave Rocky to me!”

As soon as Lexington finished this sentence, all the arguments stopped, and everyone’s gaze fell on him, especially that of War Alliance Leader Changfeng. Changfeng looked at Lexington and after giving a slight smile, he then asked,

“Clan Leader Lexington, speak your mind freely.”
