Before our eyes, half a month had passed.
In this half-month, Rocky and the others had completely vanished without a trace. Even after Chenxiu City had deployed three troops to search, they found no sign of them.
After such an extended period of searching, Goth had finally begun to ease his worries, believing that the enemy must have fled beyond the battle zone. Even so, he didn't let his guard down.
The previous attack, although it only lasted a few days and involved just two rchant caravans, left Goth with the sensation of being once bitten, twice shy. Therefore, even though Rocky and his group had fallen silent, Goth expanded the battle zone and deployed additional heavy troops along the supply lines!
Now, not only had the Tulip Battle Zone been enlarged, but also a mid-sized Sky City had been added to the rear. With this Sky City, Chenxiu City could ensure that travelling rchant caravans received support a day in advance.
Additionally, two small Sky Cities began to patrol the trade routes regularly. Though they were just small Sky Cities, they housed a considerable amount of troops, ready to provide imdiate reinforcent in case of an ergency.
As for the three Fleets originally dispatched to pursue, after over half a month of searching, they were called back. However, their original structure remained intact. They continued to patrol the outskirts of the battle zone, ensuring no enemies could ambush the caravans along the way.
Only after such thorough and layered security asures—like being wrapped in three inner and three outer layers—did Goth finally relax.
Under such stringent arrangents, not a single attack on rchant caravans occurred in the half month, which was expected. Within such layered protection, it would be impossible for even a fly to approach the supply lines, let alone a full-strength enemy.
As peace settled in the rear, the Rebel Army also made significant advancents on the frontline!
As ntioned before, to distract the frontline forces and create opportunities for Rocky, Wil had led the Alliance Army in relentless assaults. However, following the sustained offensives, problems began to arise.
Wil's Alliance Army was already outnumbered by the Rebel Army. The fact that they could fight to a stalemate relied entirely on Wil's and his officers' superior command abilities and the troops' high quality.
After the continuous counterattacks of the previous period, Wil and the Alliance Army suffered no losses and even gained so advantages. However, no matter the benefits, the relentless offensive took a significant toll on the Alliance Army.
So when the situation in the rear stabilized, and the Rebel Army promptly initiated their attacks, Wil and the Alliance Army struggled to hold their ground.
In this half-month, the Rebel Army launched three large-scale offensives, victorious in all three! Wil and the Alliance Army were forced to retreat step by step, now completely driven out of Tulip City's airspace!
With Wil's consecutive retreats, the situation in the Tulip Battle Zone naturally deteriorated rapidly. What was once the most secure zone was now barely holding on, on the verge of collapse!
As the Tulip Battle Zone's situation worsened, it ant the Sky Alliance's Four Great War Zones were all at a disadvantage—the Sky Alliance had beco perilously vulnerable in the war, whereas the Rebel Army's position improved drastically.
This outco was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, just as all the Rebel Army in the Tulip Battle Zone thought victory was within reach, sothing significant happened in the zone that day!
A small Sky City transporting supplies to the front lines had been attacked!
"What!"
When Goth, who had just started to relax a few days ago, received the news, he was shocked as if struck by lightning, and he jumped out of his seat, or rather, leaping would be more accurate, since the news was too shocking and he was completely unprepared for it!
"What happened! Speak!"
Goth demanded, his face ashen, as he looked to the officier who ca with the report.
"Lord, Hongshou City sent a ssage that they ca under attack while transporting supplies to the front lines…"
"How many enemies were there?"
"A Sky City..."
Glancing down at Goth, the officer swallowed hard before struggling to get the words out.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Goth's expression and complexion had changed dramatically!
No wonder, when the officer first heard the news, he was just as incredulous as Goth.
You see, the attacked Hongshou City was specifically responsible for transporting supplies from Chenxiu City to the front lines, which ant what exactly?
It ant the area of Hongshou City's operation was deep within the battle zone!
The route of the small Sky City responsible for transporting supplies from Chenxiu City to the front lines was generally fixed, only traveling between the front lines and Chenxiu City, and it couldn't appear elsewhere. With Hongshou City being attacked, it signified that the enemy had penetrated the battle zone's inner area!
How could this be possible!
More importantly, what assaulted Hongshou City wasn't a small troop but a Sky City!
An enemy Sky City appearing suddenly deep within their territory was a shocking revelation to Goth. How could his heart not tremble?!
After a mont of shock, Goth quickly inquired, "Who is the enemy, have you identified them?"
"Lord, it's Thunderhawk City."
Nodding, the officer imdiately answered, as Hongshou City had reported that they were attacked by Thunderhawk City.
"Thunderhawk City... Rocky's Sky City?"
Hearing this, Goth was taken aback again. Though he was the City Lord of a large Sky City, he had heard of Thunderhawk City and Rocky. After all, a few months ago, the City Lord of Thunderhawk City, Rocky, had caused quite a stir, and he had been involved in the battle plans. Therefore, Goth was familiar with him and Thunderhawk City.
However, familiar as he was, Goth could not fathom how Rocky had appeared deep within the battle zone, and more crucially, how Thunderhawk City had done so? He clearly rembered that Thunderhawk City was supposed to be the first to fall in the initial round of attacks and had been missing since the first day of the war. In such a high-level conflict, no one cared about a small Sky City, so the Rebel Army didn't pay attention to this matter. Yet, Thunderhawk City had now reached the Tulip Battle Zone and erged deep within the battle zone upon its first appearance, which was utterly incredible...!
