Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 450: Chapter 415 Hero!

War.

Heroes.

These two concepts seem to share an indistinct and profound logical connection, as if the emergence of heroes is certain every time chaos of war unfolds.

The same holds for the grand battle unfolding before us. Although it’s been less than half a year since its onset, many heroes have already been born within the ranks of the Alliance Army and the Rebel Army.

These individuals come from all walks of life, including Void Magic Warriors, Fleet Commanders, City Lords, and even ordinary Captains and crew members. Without exception, they share one common trait: in each of their respective war zones and battles, they’ve displayed valorous conduct. Their courageous deeds have significantly boosted the morale of their sides, turning them into revered figures.

Rocky and his two companions have now become such heroes!

…

Having been in enemy territory all this while, the trio had no knowledge of events outside the battle zones in the past two months. They were unaware that since their initial raid on a merchant convoy, the Alliance had been spreading tales of their valorous deeds throughout the war zones.

In fact, Rocky and his team’s fame within the war zone was much higher than they imagined. Now, almost every resident in the Tulip Battle Zone knew who they were. Not only that, but through the efforts of the Alliance’s propaganda, the residents had come to regard them as war heroes.

Never underestimate the power such propaganda wields. Although soldiers are the ones on the front lines, let’s not forget that within each Sky City, there resides a large civilian population. Once these ordinary citizens lose hope and faith in the war, at the least, it could impact morale; at worst, it could spark riots and rebellions!

Consequently, both the Alliance Army and the Rebel Army strive to amplify their own achievements to ensure the stability and order among their populace.

For the Alliance in the Tulip Battle Zone, the prior actions of Rocky, Karina, and Berg were indeed a shot of adrenaline! If their exploits were appropriately publicized, this could significantly raise the spirits of every resident from the Sky Cities involved in the war, renewing their faith in the Sky Alliance!

It should be noted that before Rocky’s trio took action, although Wilton-led Alliance Army had fought back and forth with the enemy, there were hardly any truly resounding victories, the kind that could be proudly chronicled.

War is not a play. The harsh reality of war is brutal, bloody, and uninspiring. Often, victory is determined by mere casualties—a dull affair where the side with fewer dead claims the win.

However, the general populace doesn’t see it that way. For most people, battles must not only be won but won spectacularly, full of color and dramatic turns—this is the expectation engraved in their hearts. But how often does reality present such picturesque fluctuations and vibrancy?

Furthermore, the situation in all four of the Alliance’s war zones was genuinely dire. Since the beginning of the war, not to mention the other war zones, the Alliance residents involved in the Tulip Battle Zone had been utterly disheartened, creating an atmosphere that resembled a collective of walking corpses, as if all hope had been abandoned.

This was the nagging worry of the Alliance’s propaganda machinery.

The individuals in charge of propaganda had initially hoped to inspire morale through His Excellency the Holy Knight, but this backfired. For the majority of the public, while Wilton was indeed a great hero, even his direct engagement had failed to defeat the enemy. How could they fight this war? Where was the hope for victory? Thus, up until Rocky and his team’s activities, the morale among the Alliance citizens had been extremely low, with pervasive sentiments of disillusionment and pessimism.

But with Rocky and his team’s actions, and their publicization, the situation was promptly reversed!

You can’t help it, Rocky and his companions simply exuded the aura of heroes.

Firstly, although all three were City Lords, they were extremely weak in the grand scheme of this war.

Secondly, one might unkindly describe their endeavors as reckless, but rephrase it a bit, and it turns into bravery – unmatched bravery!

Lastly, the victories they achieved far exceeded everyone’s expectations: multiple merchant convoys intercepted, hundreds of warships destroyed, and two Sky Cities eradicated. Such military outcomes were beyond impressive, not just for them, but they would have been considered a great triumph even for the Wilton-led Alliance Army!

The three weak City Lords, despite their vulnerability, challenged the vile enemy bravely and struck a significant blow!

Against the odds.

Overcoming evil with good.

Triumphant and returning in glory!

Isn’t this what heroes are made of?

This is what makes a hero!

So, as Rocky and his team continued their actions, the Alliance also never stopped publicizing their feats, making it so that in the last two months, what concerned all the inhabitants of the participating Sky Cities most was how Rocky’s team was faring.

When Rocky and his companions disappeared during the enemy’s first encirclement, every resident of the Sky Cities within the Alliance held their breath for them. Several emotional young women even shed tears more than once, believing they had met their demise.

Latter, when Rocky’s second operation took place and Hongshou City was annihilated, it’s fair to say, even Rocky couldn’t have imagined the scene that unfolded. Upon hearing the news, the residents of the Alliance Sky Cities erupted in jubilation, more enthusiastically even than the residents of Thunderhawk City themselves, as though they had personally vanquished Hongshou City.
