Chapter 677: Chapter 639: Hatred Chapter 677: Chapter 639: Hatred Just as Rocky himself had said, after Karina and Berg arrived, he arranged for Liliya to invite the guests. So, at this point, many people had not only received the invitations but were also on their way.

“In any case, as long as you have thought it through.”

Although Berg didn’t quite understand what Rocky meant, he didn’t ask further. Knowing Rocky as he did, Berg was aware that Rocky was not one to act recklessly. Whatever he did was well-prepared, and there was no need for others to worry excessively.

“Let’s talk about the present, what do we want to do by bringing us here?”

Karina too began to speak, glancing around as she talked. She and Berg were currently in the City Lord’s Mansion in City of Fury, obviously arranged by Rocky, but why? It couldn’t just be to show off his own war spoils, could it?

“Of course, it’s to ask for your help.”

“Help with what?”

“Help with moving stuff.”

Rocky replied with a slight smile.

He had his own plans for City of Fury, but whatever the plan, it was certainly not about occupying the city. So, before that, he planned to move everything that could be moved out of City of Fury!

Therefore, taking advantage of Karina and Berg being present, he brought them both along. After all, he was pressed for time, and City of Fury was so large that it would be impossible to move everything on his own.

Upon hearing this, Karina and Berg exchanged glances and both smiled.

Soon after, a large fleet of warships flew out of Thunderhawk City, Rose City, and Berg City. The three Sky Cities had nearly emptied their nests, sending out every warship, cargo ship, and merchant ship to gather at the Skyport of the City of Fury.

It must be said that as a large Sky City, the Skyport of City of Fury was really vast. Even with all the skyships deployed from the three cities, the port wasn’t filled to capacity, which, for Rocky, turned out to be a good thing.

So when all the skyships arrived, he issued the order for all the pre-positioned Guard Corps to go out and scour the entirety of City of Fury for anything valuable!

This time, Rocky and his team had very limited time because, according to his calculations, it would only be a few days before Rick from Backhill Village sent the reinforcements. By then, there would be no more opportunity to loot the resources of the City of Fury, so they had to act quickly, which was why he had called both Karina and Berg.

When it came to looting a city, at least Rocky and Karina were very experienced. In the past, during the war between the Sky Alliance and the Kafka Empire, they each had conquered a Sky City. Although they eventually destroyed both cities, a great deal of looting was done beforehand, and that experience gave them insights on how to quickly remove valuable items from a city.

Furthermore, although they were pressed for time, they still had several days, which was much better than before. This allowed them more time to loot, as a large Sky City like City of Fury had an abundance of lootable goods.

Money, supplies, food, and such were a given to be taken away, but let’s not forget the countless factories within such a large city; Rocky had no intention of sparing those either.

Perhaps some might wonder, how can one move factories?

Of course, the factories themselves couldn’t be moved, but the machinery and equipment inside could be!

Thus, when Rocky gave the command, Monte and Lin Feng split up and took action. One led a team to seize gold coins and supplies, while the other headed straight for the city district. Upon arrival, they knocked open the doors of one factory after another and took out all the machinery and equipment. And if some pieces of equipment were too large, they would simply contact the Void Magic Squad to tear down one of the factory walls.

After the fall of City of Fury, martial law was declared. The residents who had gathered in the streets had been slowly forced back to their homes by Rocky, so all the factories in the city had stopped production. However, the actions of the Guard Corps were seen by many, and every onlooker’s eyes were filled with hatred. If not for the warship cannons looming overhead and the Void Magic Warriors patrolling the skies, these residents might have revolted.

Of course, this was not surprising, because in the eyes of these residents, Rocky was an invader. They loathed Rocky, even though their city had almost trapped Rocky alive in Backhill Village before. This didn’t stop them from seeing Rocky as an invader. They didn’t care what they themselves had done to Rocky, but they hated everything Rocky had done to them.

Rocky, on one hand, had been mentally prepared for such emotions from the residents, and on the other hand, he didn’t mind at all. He had anticipated that the residents would view him this way, which is why he had quickly discarded the idea of occupying City of Fury. He had no desire to be mired in a quagmire filled with hatred.

In this situation, Rocky didn’t care how the hundred thousand inhabitants of City of Fury regarded him. He just methodically carried out his plan, aiming to loot as much from City of Fury in the shortest possible time.

On the one hand, this approach of his caused public outrage, and on the other hand, it also confused Erwin.

In fact, many things puzzled Erwin, and this particular matter was just one of them. He had always assumed that Rocky intended to occupy City of Fury. Therefore, when he found out that Rocky was dismantling factories and moving supplies, he couldn’t help but be perplexed; similarly, he was also baffled as to why Rocky had not sent anyone to capture him.

You see, although he had hidden before the fall of City of Fury, it had been two or three days since the occupation, and yet Rocky had not made any extensive efforts to capture him. This puzzled Erwin; was Rocky blinded by victory, or was he arrogant enough to deem him irrelevant?

Truth be told, even as a City Lord himself, now even he was somewhat unclear about what act Rocky was playing.

Meanwhile, as Erwin was at a loss, Thunderhawk City was gradually bustling with activity.

Since City of Fury was being looted, the Skyport of Thunderhawk City saw long queues every day, with numerous skyships laden with war spoils lining up to land at the port, keeping it lively around the clock.

On the other hand, those who had heard the news early on, and later received Rocky’s invitation, were also arriving one after another!
