Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 459: Chapter 423: Void Magic Corps

After Rocky had made all the arrangements for Thunderhawk City, it flew to the Alliance’s hinterland together with Rose City and Lingyu City, while Rocky boarded an Alliance warship with Hammerfire, hurrying to the front lines with Wilton.

Upon boarding the warship, Wilton met Rocky again and explained a few matters.

First, he thanked Rocky again for his willingness to stay and participate in the war. Rocky was not a core member of the Alliance, and without enjoying any benefits, he had no obligation to stay and fight, but he did anyway. No matter the reason, this decision was worthy of Wilton’s gratitude on behalf of the Alliance.

However, now that he had stayed, his identity in the battle zone was no longer that of a City Lord, as all troops sent by the Alliance to the battle zone, whether City Lords or regular soldiers, were under the unified command of the Alliance, under Wilton’s command. There were no City Lords here, no nobles, just soldiers. Thus, Rocky’s status would also change from a City Lord to that of a soldier.

In the upcoming battles, as a member of the Alliance Army, he would join the Void Magic Corps and participate in the coming battles alongside them.

However, given Rocky’s heroic status and the White Demon Armor he wore, both were too special, so although he was under the command of the Void Magic Corps, he would not be part of the formal organization but would instead operate independently on the battlefield, thus becoming the only special combatant within the Void Magic Corps.

…

This decision was made after detailed discussions between Wilton and the Commander of the Void Magic Corps.

Rocky’s combat power in the White Demon Armor was unquestionable, but similarly, his ability to cooperate with others was less commendable. Being a City Lord and wearing such powerful armor as the White Demon Armor, he had never needed to coordinate with others in battle, which was evident from his past fights.

However, Rocky’s lone-wolf style seemed out of place once he joined a regular force like the Alliance Army. The Void Magic Warriors of the Alliance Army had undergone long and rigorous training. On one hand, each had strong individual combat abilities, and on the other hand, their ability to work in synergy was equally outstanding—from the coordination between team members to the cooperative covering between squads, all were the results of strict training.

In such circumstances, if Rocky was rashly integrated into the structure of the Void Magic Corps, what would he do?

Lead a squad? Without any training in command, Rocky clearly lacked the ability to command a Void Magic Squad.

Be a squad member? His personal ability was too strong, making it difficult for others to coordinate with him.

Therefore, Wilton and the commander of the Void Magic Corps eventually decided to let him operate independently, allowing him to freely utilize his abilities in combat as he had done before. This would better harness his true strength.

As for Wilton’s arrangement, Rocky had no objections and was even a bit curious. Since the moment he arrived in this world, he had been a City Lord, and now he was being asked to be a soldier, which Rocky found quite novel.

Thus, his life as a Void Magic Warrior on the battlefield officially began.

After three days of continuous flight, the warship arrived at the front lines.

Upon arrival, Rocky immediately sensed the difference.

Firstly, it was the different atmosphere.

Autumn Water City was still en route, and until Autumn Water City arrived, Wilton would temporarily command from another major sky city at the front, which was Myriad Storage City.

Upon arriving at Myriad Storage City, Rocky immediately felt a much more oppressive atmosphere. From soldiers to civilians, even the faces of cart drivers seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of gloom, with hardly any smiles visible on anyone’s face.

This alone evidenced that the battles at the front line were not going well; otherwise, no one would be so worried.

At the same time, being on the front line of the battle, the airspace was filled with a large number of Sky Cities, and massive fleets continuously moved in and out of these cities, seemingly engaged in the deployment of forces. Consequently, when Rocky arrived at Myriad Storage City, he immediately sensed the atmosphere of war.

Shortly after his arrival in Myriad Storage City, having only rested for a day, he received orders from Wilton to immediately report to the Void Magic Corps.

Honestly, Rocky, who had grown accustomed to being a City Lord, found it somewhat difficult to adapt to receiving orders from others, especially since the orders from Wilton were military commands that had to be executed without delay.

In such circumstances, he had no choice but to continuously board the warship and head to another Sky City with Hammerfire, since the Void Magic Corps was not stationed in Myriad Storage City but in another Sky City closer to the front lines.

Cloud Ascend City, a major Sky City, core member of the Alliance, with a population exceeding two hundred thousand, was responsible for frontline coordination in the Tulip Battle Zone, where thousands of soldiers from the Alliance Army’s Void Magic Corps were concentrated.

After half a day’s journey, Rocky and Hammerfire finally arrived at Cloud Ascend City. As soon as they disembarked from the warship, they boarded a carriage that was waiting to take them directly to the camp of the Void Magic Corps.

Since it was wartime and the Void Magic Warriors were an indispensable force in combat, always ready to move to the battlefield, the camp was not far from the Skyport, roughly half an hour away.

Upon reaching the camp, Rocky and Hammerfire separated, because Hammerfire was not a combatant. His main role was to maintain the White Demon Armor, and given his master status, the officers of the Void Magic Corps had arranged separate accommodation for him.

As for Rocky, after parting with Hammerfire, he was led to a large building in the camp, and then escorted by soldiers to an office.

Upon entering the office, Rocky saw a middle-aged man of about forty, dressed in a military uniform, seated behind a desk. The man appeared to have lost one eye and wore a black eyepatch. Coupled with his stern expression, he looked quite formidable.

When the soldier brought Rocky in front of him, he set down the documents he was holding and looked up.

“Are you Rocky?”

After sizing up Rocky for quite some time with his one eye, the officer finally spoke soberly,

“Yes,”

Rocky promptly nodded in response to the officer’s question.

But the officer’s response was to furrow his brow, observing him for a long while before saying,

“I’m Giventer, the Commander of the Void Magic Corps. From today onwards, you are a member of the Void Magic Corps. You might have been a City Lord before, but here you are an Alliance Warrior, an Allied Soldier. Everything here follows the rules of the Alliance Army. Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

“Good.” Shifting his gaze away from Rocky, Giventer picked up the documents he had set aside and, without looking at him, said, “Go find Kyle, he is your squad leader.”

After saying this, Giventer paid Rocky no further attention.
