"Is that... Lord Wilton?"
When Wilton arrived at the front line with Rocky and Liliya, the opposing side imdiately sent out a Void Magic Squad, and they had to admit that the strength of a dium-sized Sky City indeed was not sothing a small-sized Sky City could match.
Take, for instance, the fleet from Starlight City before them, which had dispatched a full squad of ten Void Magic Warriors to escort the Fleet Commander to the front; this clearly wasn't the entirety of Starlight City's Void Magic Warriors, just this detail alone revealed the considerable strength of the opponent!
However, the attitude of the other side changed instantly upon seeing Wilton.
As a mber of the Sky Alliance, Starry Sky City's Commander naturally recognized a personage like Wilton and imdiately identified him.
Unfortunately, Wilton didn't know the Commander, but since the latter was a mber of the Alliance, Wilton didn't hold back and directly said,
"Have the City Lord co see imdiately."
In front of Starry Sky City's Fleet Commander, Wilton spoke as though issuing a command.
Under normal circumstances, Wilton would not have done so, but he was indeed in a great hurry at the mont, so he didn't consider his tone too much.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the opposing Commander was imdiately frightened, with cold sweat trickling down the face hidden behind the helt...
In the eyes of this Commander, Wilton appeared to be clearly angry, and with His Excellency the Holy Knight's strength, as well as his status within the Alliance, if he truly beca angry, Starlight City would definitely not be able to withstand it!
The Commander before them was terrified, and even wondered whether their action of dispatching a fleet to intercept Rocky had displeased His Excellency the Holy Knight?
In such a situation, he dared not linger any longer, and instead of sending soone, he went back to Starlight City to find the City Lord personally...
Not long after this Commander had departed, another warship flew out from the defensive net of Starlight City; and it was not just any warship, but a flagship!
This flagship, over two hundred ters in size, was imnse and incredibly beautiful, clearly one of the most top-tier warships of the day.
"Moon Goddess Flagship... Turns out the City Lord of Starlight City is quite wealthy," Wilton said to Rocky after glancing at the flagship that erged from the Defensive Net. "This flagship is the flagship version of the Moon Goddess Type 3, a 5th generation destroyer. It's very expensive, and of course, its firepower and defensive power are among the best in its class."
Seeing that Rocky did not recognize the flagship, Wilton casually introduced the vessel before them, and upon hearing this, Rocky had a realization—no wonder this flagship looked much bigger than the Thunderhawk; this was not only a 5th generation warship but also a destroyer that was a higher tier than an escort ship.
By glimpsing a part you may see the whole: just seeing this flagship let Rocky make a rough assessnt of the strength of a dium-sized Sky City.
Without a doubt, the strength of a dium-sized Sky City was indeed much stronger than that of a small-sized one. For example, the fleet sent out by Starlight City at the mont was certainly not their entirety and might not even be their main forces, yet just this was already comparable to, no, stronger than the fleet strength of Thunderhawk City.
This naturally made Rocky think of Wild Horse City, also a dium-sized Sky City. Their strength should be similar, right?
Considering Wild Horse City might have such strength, Rocky couldn't help but feel secretly relieved, glad that he had agreed to Wilton's invitation to join the Sky Alliance, otherwise dealing with Wild Horse City's retaliation would have indeed been problematic.
As he lanted inwardly, lanting the strength of the dium-sized Sky City should indeed not be underestimated, the flagship that had flown out from within the defensive net of Starlight City had already approached. Wilton, taking no ti to wait for the delegation from the ship, flew directly towards it with Rocky.
"Lord Wilton!"
Having landed on the flagship's deck without any obstruction, Rocky hadn't had the chance to take a clear look around when a voice filled with joy and excitent reached his ears. Following the voice, he saw the City Lord of Starlight City.
Of course, Rocky had never t this City Lord, but he recognized him solely by the entourage, with a man in his forties hurriedly walking towards Wilton in a manner that was characteristic of a City Lord.
Indeed, this middle-aged man surrounded by a crowd was none other than Diego, the City Lord of Starlight City.
"Lord Wilton, I hadn't expected it to be you!"
Approaching Wilton hastily with a group, Diego spoke with boundless enthusiasm and then took the initiative to grasp Wilton's hand, looking extrely emotional, "My Lord, I truly didn't know it was you who had co, that misunderstanding just now was such an offense, my apologies!"
While holding Wilton's hand, Diego continued speaking without pause, and even glanced at Rocky, showing not only politeness but also a full sense of apology with a nod of his head.
It was clear that the Commander who had gone back had already inford the City Lord of everything that had happened, and had added so speculations of his own, which instantly gave Diego a headache. After all, as a hero, Wilton was highly respected within the Sky Alliance and held considerable power. Wasn't that the kind of person Diego, a re peripheral mber of the Alliance, should not provoke?
If he did indeed provoke Wilton and made him unhappy, all Wilton had to do was to make a few complaints to the other big figures upon returning, and Starlight City would find it too much to bear. Therefore, as soon as they t, Diego hurried to apologize for the earlier incident.
Unfortunately, Diego had clearly misunderstood, but Wilton, now eager to establish contact with the Alliance, didn't explain further and directly stated his purpose.
Under such circumstances, how could Diego afford to slight him in the slightest? He imdiately sent people to handle the issue.
As a mber of the Alliance, even if just a peripheral one, Starry Sky City could contact the Alliance anyti, anywhere. Therefore, Diego imdiately had the personnel remaining in the city contact the Sky Alliance.
After everything was handled, Wilton turned to Rocky:
"City Lord Rocky, thank you for taking care of along the way. Once I return to the Alliance, I will surely report your and Lord Karina's assistance to in full detail. The Alliance will send an envoy to you to further discuss the details of joining the Alliance."
"Good, I will await your good news, my Lord."
With a slight smile, Rocky knew this was Wilton saying goodbye to him. It was quite normal considering that Starlight City was a true Alliance mber, and moreover, a dium-sized Sky City. Once Wilton arrived here, he would be as good as ho, waiting for the Alliance people to co for him. This also ant that Rocky's mission had co to a close.
As for the matter of joining the Sky Alliance, it was clearly not sothing that could be settled with just a few words. For a large force with a clear managent system like the Sky Alliance, the addition of any mber had to follow procedures and protocols. Even with Wilton speaking out, it had to be done according to the process.
Of course, since His Excellency the Holy Knight had made a request, he would certainly not fail to deliver, so Rocky didn't need to worry about anything. He just needed to wait for the news.
After that, he and Liliya left the flagship of Starlight City and returned to Thunderhawk City with their own fleet.
Honestly, Rocky was quite happy to see Wilton leave. It was not that he didn't want Wilton to stay in Thunderhawk City for longer, but as long as he was here, Rocky, out of face and respect, always felt obligated to accompany him. It was too much of a distraction because, having just eradicated the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group, he had quite a lot of things to handle. Like, for instance... tallying the spoils of war!
Ever since returning from the Traceless Battlefield, Rocky had been accompanying Wilton, and now that Wilton had finally been sent off, he finally had ti to properly count the spoils of war he had obtained!
