Lord of the Sky City Chapter 641 - 641 603 Warship Refit

Chapter 641: Chapter 603 Warship Refit Chapter 641: Chapter 603 Warship Refit In order to successfully transport the supplies that Rocky needed to Thunderhawk City, the Apple Tree Corporation indeed went all out. Not only did they muster their entire escort fleet, but they also hired several large rcenary Groups. Only then did they arrive at Thunderhawk City.

Similarly, to ensure a smooth handover with the corporation, Rocky had been waiting outside every day since the convoy approached Backhill Village. He did so in order to support them at a mont’s notice should they engage in conflict with City of Fury. Although he might not yet be able to challenge them directly, as long as he could get the rchant ships loaded with supplies to Thunderhawk City, the mission would be a success. Hence, Rocky had been guarding the outskirts, ready to provide support at all tis.

To everyone’s surprise, the City of Fury’s fleet, which had once been rampant, did not engage with the convoy as they had in the past but allowed them to pass directly through this ti.

Faced with such an outco, the Apple Tree Corporation was naturally overjoyed, as no battle ant no losses. Moreover, as long as they could successfully hand over the supplies to Rocky and deliver them to Thunderhawk City, the corporation’s mission would be considered complete. Under these circumstances, the Chamber of Comrce could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

While Rocky also breathed a sigh of relief, he was thinking much more deeply and quickly understood why the City of Fury had not struck this ti.

First, it could be due to the size of the escort fleet dispatched by the Apple Tree Corporation this ti. If City of Fury engaged them, even if they could win, their own losses would not be insignificant, which would be detrintal to their long-term blockade, leading to their decision to let them pass.

However, Rocky felt that it was of secondary importance. He believed that the second reason was the key — the enemy had realized his intentions!

Nevertheless, for Rocky, this was perhaps key but not important, as he truly didn’t care whether the enemy had caught onto his intentions or not. He had never planned to hide his plans.

So, as soon as he took recepit of the goods transported by the corporation, he imdiately ordered the factories to start working at full capacity to produce Armors!

During the half-month wait for supplies, the R&D team had already completed the design of Liliya and others’ New Armors. Therefore, once the factories started up, they imdiately began production. However, after this task was completed, the R&D team did not idle; instead, they were even busier than the factories because there were warships awaiting modification.

As ntioned before, besides having the corporation transport a batch of supplies, Rocky had also had them bring fifty warships. Thus, along with the materials, these fifty warships were handed over to him as well.

In fact, during the handover, the head of the rchant convoy had specifically offered Rocky to leave part of the escort fleet behind. With such support, Rocky would have been even better equipped to withstand the City of Fury.

However, as if declining Archimonde’s gesture of goodwill, Rocky also refused this offer. He intended to break through the City of Fury’s blockade with just fifty warships and his own Void Magic Corps!

It must be said that Rocky’s determination in this matter could no longer be simply described as tenacity – it bordered on stubbornness. But since he had spoken, the Apple Tree Corporation naturally could not insist. In the end, the rchant convoy had to depart with their entire Escort Fleet, taking with them a large number of Tank-type Armors that were supposed to be delivered much earlier, and only leaving supplies and fifty escort ships behind in Thunderhawk City.

Indeed, their assessnt of Rocky was mistaken. They thought he had beco radicalized, but in reality, Rocky was rely confident!

The research of Orton and others on Runes had long since branched out beyond rely Armors. In fact, two years earlier, they had already begun to apply Runes to warships and had been conducting research in this area ever since.

This was the reason Rocky had requested fifty warships from the Chamber of Comrce – he intended to transform all fifty into Rune Battleships!

So, while the factories began working overti nonstop to produce Armors, the R&D team also labored around the clock to modify the fifty warships.

Although it was only a modification, for the R&D team led by Orton, it was still a herculean task. This kind of modification wasn’t as simple as just inscribing Runes all over the ships; Orton and his team needed to comprehensively enhance the ships from the inside out to et combat requirents.

Firstly, they needed to enhance the Defensive Net of the warships, which was the biggest project in the modification due to the limited ti. They couldn’t directly transform the operational core of the warships into Runes, so they had to add new devices that ran on Rune-based operations to significantly strengthen the ships’ defensive networks.

Secondly, they had to use Rune enhancents to boost the warships’ power, which was relatively simple. They just had to combine Runes with the Magic Stones on the warships, and both would output power to the ships simultaneously.

Lastly, and most importantly, was enhancing the warships’ offensive capabilities. Technically, this was not difficult. When Orton first ca to Thunderhawk City, Rocky had tasked him with enhancing the Magic Energy Cannons on the ships, and Orton had even caused several ships to explode as a result. So the technical aspects of this modification were already researched by Orton and his team.

The real challenge of the modification was the workforce, as the Magic Energy Cannons needed to be manually enhanced one by one, requiring a large number of hands. Even a master of Aniye’s caliber had to personally take part, inscribing Runes directly on the ships’ Magic Energy Cannons. Of course, Rocky was no exception; he too joined the fray, working alongside everyone to modify the warships.

Under such intense and ceaseless preparation, a month passed quickly. Throughout this month, all of Rocky’s arrangents proceeded smoothly.

The Void Magic Warrior training had already begun before the supplies arrived, led by Monte and others. As Rocky had expected, due to the solid foundations and rich combat experience of Thunderhawk City’s Guards, these newly minted Void Magic Warriors were progressing very rapidly and were now capable of performing practical maneuvers in Void Magic Armor.

The production of the Armor was also proceeding smoothly. Since they had already made a batch of Tank Armors, the workers had gained experience in all aspects, considerably speeding up the production of the Thunderhawk Armor. They were not only likely to et Rocky’s deadlines but might even complete the production tasks ahead of schedule.

Finally, the modification of the warships, while tiring and arduous, did not lead to any complaints or dissatisfaction among anyone in the R&D team, including Rocky himself. Everyone was seizing this opportunity to gain further mastery over Runes. Despite the hard work, their enthusiasm was unflagging, and the modification of the warships was proceeding very well, with more than half of the warships already modified.
