Chapter 749: Chapter 712 Awkward Relationship

According to Athena’s estimation, after learning that the Sky Alliance had already obtained the Rune, both the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Re

“My lord, though selling the Rune to the Sky Alliance pressured everyone else, it also stabilized the Alliance. More importantly, it made the Alliance a target for all.”

“Before this, even if a major event like a demon attack diverted everyone’s attention, once the matter settled, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute would refocus their targets on us. It’s no exaggeration to say that they would not hesitate to delay the Third Counter-Offensive War if it meant getting their hands on the Mana Rune from us.”

“But now it’s different.”

“Due to the Sky Alliance acquiring the Mana Rune, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute already feel the pressure. The Alliance now possesses technology they don’t, a technology that could create a vast gap between them. That is precisely why the Third Counter-Offensive cannot be postponed, or it would give the Alliance the chance to develop further. That’s also why the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute only have one shot left at us. If we can withstand this one time, then we’ll be free as the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea, and no one will be able to stop us anymore.”

With just a few words, Athena had thoroughly analyzed the current situation. After her analysis, Rocky finally understood how his thoughtless action had affected the state of the world so greatly.

His decision to sell the Rune to the Alliance had, in effect, forced the initiation of the Third Counter-Offensive War without even the possibility of delay, and inadvertently put the Sky Alliance in an awkward position, compelling the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute to leave the Alliance be.

All of this had virtually completed Rocky’s own ambitions, giving him time to develop first and foremost. To prepare for the unavoidable Third Counter-Offensive War, the Kafka Empire, the Magic Energy Research Institute, and even the Sky Alliance had to give it their all and had no time to target Rocky. After all, Rocky had grown powerful and was no longer someone who could be bullied as in the past.

Secondly, it eliminated future problems. As Athena said, once the Third Counter-Offensive War broke out, The Three Great Alliances, as the rulers of the skies, would have no leisure to concern themselves with Rocky, willing or not. In this case, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute really did only have one chance left. If they missed this opportunity, they would truly be unable to do anything to Rocky anymore.

However, similarly, it also posed a significant crisis for Rocky, because one could imagine that those forces desiring the Mana Rune would use any means necessary in their only opportunity to obtain it. They would undoubtedly go to all lengths to get the Mana Rune in their hands, so Rocky absolutely could not be careless. He had to employ every means at his disposal to confront this crisis.

Fortunately, Athena had already anticipated this and thus spoke:

“My lord, I have roughly guessed the means by which the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute will act. This method will be a death knot for us; once they deploy it, we will be doomed without a doubt.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky’s eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Athena with extreme seriousness, listening intently to her every word.

……

……

“Why is it always me…”

While Rocky and Athena were discussing how to deal with the upcoming major crisis, Howling Sky, the City Lord of Sirius City, sighed with a mix of frustration and depression that he couldn’t quite put into words.

Being ordered to return to Backhill Village this time left Howling Sky extremely embarrassed, especially since he had only left a few months earlier following the Alliance’s instructions. And Howling Sky was fully aware of why the Alliance had transferred him away in the first place, but now to send him back felt unbearably awkward.

And if it were just awkwardness, that might have been bearable, but the task the Alliance had given him was what truly depressed Howling Sky.

Unfortunately, though Howling Sky was the City Lord of Sirius City, that city was but one member of The Three Great Alliances’ core, which meant Howling Sky had no power to defy the Alliance’s wishes. So no matter how disheartened he was, he had to follow the Alliance’s demands…
