Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 800 - 782 No One Dares to Stop
Chapter 800 -782 No One Dares to Stop
Rocky looked up at the starry night sky as he soared away from the City Lord’s Mansion, dragging a chain of hostages behind him. Aurora was completely dumbfounded by the sight, utterly unable to fathom how things had turned out this way.
As for Rocky, Aurora had always had high hopes for him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the effort to meet him beforehand. Even considering the most optimistic scenario, Aurora had only hoped Rocky could escape the encirclement laid by the Three Great Alliances unscathed—it would have been miraculous enough to label him extraordinary. But what Aurora hadn’t expected was that Rocky would go to such absurd lengths.
He not only escaped the Three Great Alliances but even managed to capture their leaders—plus the heads of two major armor manufacturing firms!
This… This was simply beyond belief… Aurora didn’t even know how to put Rocky’s actions into words.
“Sir, should we try to stop him?”
As Aurora sat there entirely stunned, the Masked Captain beside him couldn’t help but ask. Their encirclement of the City Lord’s Mansion had two goals—one was to contain the fallout of the battle, and the other was to prevent any irreversible incidents. By now, though, an incident had clearly already occurred.
“Hmm…”
When Aurora heard the question, he simply stared in silence. Standing beneath the night sky, he watched Rocky’s silhouette fly farther and farther away without uttering a single word.
“Sir!”
Seeing his continued silence, the captain pressed again anxiously, only to be met with Aurora’s icy gaze.
“We’re not enforcers for the Three Great Alliances, nor is Eternal City a member of the alliances. What’s happening between Rocky and the alliances has nothing to do with us.”
With that, Aurora promptly turned around and issued the order for everyone to pull back.
Still, though they withdrew, Aurora and his men continued to shadow Rocky. After all, they were in Eternal City’s domain, and Aurora wouldn’t outright stop Rocky, but he couldn’t ignore him either. If any further incidents unfolded that threatened the city, Aurora and his troops would be forced to intervene.
Fortunately, Rocky faced no unexpected problems along the way. Though Rick immediately notified the Three Great Alliances once Rocky left the City Lord’s Mansion, and they swiftly dispatched personnel to intercept him, Rocky remained unaffected.
Let’s not forget: Rocky wasn’t traveling solo anymore—he had hostages. And not just one or two; five. With three of them being central figures of the Three Great Alliances, when their forces caught up to Rocky, all he had to do was lift the chain holding the three older men and rattled it lightly. That simple action was enough for the pursuing forces to retreat obediently.
No one dared gamble with the lives of the Three Great Alliances’ leaders!
In the end, while Rocky was constantly surrounded, he still managed to swagger straight to Skyport and effortlessly flew out of Eternal City.
As soon as Rocky left, Aurora and his team on the ground breathed a collective sigh of relief. Once outside Eternal City’s boundaries, whatever happened would no longer be under their jurisdiction, freeing them from responsibility. Including Aurora, everyone relaxed a little.
On the contrary, once Rocky exited Eternal City, the forces sent by the Three Great Alliances became even more hesitant to act. Forget even minor blunders—they couldn’t afford any slip-ups where the hostages’ lives were on the line. And considering they were flying at high altitudes, those captives might not survive long irrespective of circumstances.
Rocky understood these fears all too well. Knowing they wouldn’t dare make a move, he never experienced any sense of trepidation. Whether or not the people he dragged along survived the flight to Thunderhawk City wasn’t something he cared much about. The façade was already shattered, the animosity brutal and beyond repair. There was no room left for mercy.
That said, Rocky indeed sped up. If there was one thing he still cared about, it was Thunderhawk City.
“Liliya, what’s the situation?”
As he raced towards Thunderhawk City, Rocky contacted Liliya to assess the current scenario.
“Don’t worry. They haven’t commenced an attack yet.”
“What about Backhill Village?”
“I just talked with Athena. Heavenly Ancestor Church’s forces have surrounded the village. They seemed poised to strike earlier, but now there’s been a development that’s holding them back.”
With Rocky unreachable earlier, Liliya and Athena had been exchanging information. Surprisingly, both Backhill Village and Thunderhawk City weren’t in as dire a situation as expected—especially once Rocky took the hostages. The Three Great Alliances clearly had their concerns.
“Alright. I’ve left Eternal City, and I’ve brought some guests along. Get ready; once I’m back, we’ll head straight to Backhill Village.”
Rocky understood Liliya’s report perfectly well, but given the circumstances, he didn’t bother explaining in detail. Once the call ended, he promptly accelerated his flight to Thunderhawk City.
It didn’t take long for Rocky to reach Thunderhawk City, and the situation was indeed as Ludwig had described. Thunderhawk City was completely surrounded by Sky Alliance’s large-scale flying fortresses. Counting carefully, no fewer than five floating cities had encircled Thunderhawk.

Deploying five massive aerial fortresses at once signaled nothing less than preparations for an all-out war. The sight made Rocky chuckle darkly. Clearly, the Three Great Alliances took him very seriously, pulling out all stops and discarding any semblance of top-tier dignity.
But even if they threw all decorum aside, they still couldn’t stop him!
Within a short time, Rocky made his return to Thunderhawk City—along with his prized hostages, which he promptly handed over to Liliya.
“Oh my god… You—You actually brought them back here!”
Having heard of Denise, Liliya was already stunned, but discovering the identities of the other four individuals rendered her completely speechless. This development was far beyond their plans. They had never anticipated capturing this many prominent figures.
“Plans change. Just lock them up for now,” Rocky shrugged nonchalantly, even managing to feign innocence. Casting his gaze to the shivering figures lying on the ground, he noted their unexpected resilience—withstanding prolonged exposure in high-altitude flight without perishing was no small feat. Of course, their faces were livid, and their seething glares burned holes into Rocky.
Rocky didn’t pay them the slightest attention. Turning firmly to Liliya, he asked, “Is the Asura Cannon ready?”
“It’s been fully charged for ages, waiting for your return,” Liliya nodded.
“Good. We’re heading to Backhill Village!”
