Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 756 - 718: Thanks
Chapter 756: Chapter 718: Thanks
“He Nan…”
Putting down the book in his hands, Rocky furrowed his brows and pondered, then sighed.
It had been almost a week since Thunderhawk City had taken to the skies again. Including the time Thunderhawk City had landed, the Fireteng Tribe had already been living in Thunderhawk City for over a month.
However, Rocky had not forgotten about Chief He Nan and the Fireteng Tribe. The reason he had delayed meeting He Nan was actually to allow He Nan and his tribe to spend more time in Thunderhawk City.
Living here for a longer period, the Beastmen would surely feel the comfort of life in the sky and might change their minds. Even if not all of them changed, if even a part of them yearned for the sky, Rocky felt he had a chance to keep those individuals here. Although this was somewhat unkind towards He Nan, some things were just that way; there was no helping it.
So when Rocky learned that He Nan had taken the initiative to seek a meeting with him, he felt a bit regretful because he had hoped to delay a little longer since the Fireteng Tribe had only been in Thunderhawk City for a short time.
Reluctant as he was, He Nan still needed to be seen. After all, he was the chief of a tribe; slighting him would certainly leave a bad impression among the Beastmen of the Fireteng Tribe, which was naturally not something Rocky wanted.
Even though he had to meet him, Rocky did not wish to meet at the City Lord’s Mansion, so he glanced at Liliya, “Tell He Nan that I’m about to head to Backhill Village, ask him to meet me there in the village.”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing this, Liliya understood what Rocky meant and promptly left the room. Not long after she departed, Rocky also left the City Lord’s Mansion and took a carriage all the way to the Skyport.
As the city’s expansion had officially started, the Skyport at Thunderhawk City was naturally included in the construction plans, so when Rocky arrived, the Skyport was under construction. Half of the Skyport was enclosed, with workers coming in and out, and the noise of construction clanging, making the entire Skyport appear particularly messy.
At the Skyport, Rocky saw He Nan who had been waiting there and Liliya who had brought him.
Standing next to Liliya, He Nan was not wearing his Void Magic Armor this time but was dressed in traditional Beastmen leather attire. Yet, even so, his robustness could not be concealed. As the strongest warrior in the Fireteng Tribe, He Nan was half a head taller than Monte, his muscles firm like chunks of stone, providing an immense sense of oppression with just one glance.
“City Lord Rocky.”
Upon seeing Rocky, He Nan nodded to him. While he still maintained the chief’s blockade and dignity, his attitude had clearly improved a lot compared to when on land.
This was normal; firstly, although the two had hardly met in this past month, they had previously faced a life-and-death crisis together, naturally making them no longer as unfamiliar as when they first met. Secondly, after He Nan brought his tribe to Thunderhawk City, he truly understood the extent of Rocky’s power.
Although He Nan had always known that Rocky’s identity was that of the City Lord of Sky City, living on land his whole life meant he didn’t understand much what the role of a City Lord entailed. In He Nan’s view, a City Lord was more like a title, and he had no clue about the power it held.
But now, he knew.
Arriving at Thunderhawk City, after seeing its residents and its army and witnessing the major project of upgrading the city, He Nan finally understood what the role of a City Lord represented. So when he saw Rocky again, naturally, there was a bit more awe than before.
“Chief He Nan, how is everyone finding their stay in the city?”
“Very good, sorry for the trouble, City Lord.”
Responding to Rocky’s query, He Nan nodded repeatedly. In this regard, he was genuinely grateful to Rocky, because even though they had not seen each other much, Rocky had arranged everything perfectly for all the Beastmen of the Fireteng Tribe, leaving He Nan nothing to complain about.
Speciesponsoring a tribe of over a thousand people in a city where all five thousand residents had already found accommodation was no small feat. Moreover, ensuring that this thousand-plus Beastmen lived well required a lot of effort from Rocky.
“City Lord Rocky, I really can’t thank you enough for this time. If it weren’t for your help, I really don’t know what would have become of our tribe.”
As they walked towards the War Steed, He Nan sincerely expressed his gratitude to Rocky. This gratitude came not only from his heart but also on behalf of more than a thousand Beastmen of the Fireteng Tribe, because as he said, if they had not arrived at Thunderhawk City in time, faced with the overwhelming flood, the Fireteng Tribe really would not have known where to go; they might have ended up completely submerged like the demons that were washed away by the flood.
However, grateful as he was, after expressing his thanks, He Nan still insisted, “City Lord Rocky, I heard that the floodwaters have receded, so…”
Undoubtedly, even though He Nan was grateful that they could stay in Thunderhawk City during difficult times and that the living conditions in Thunderhawk City were indeed much better than on the ground, He Nan still had no intention of staying. After expressing his gratitude, he clearly seemed ready to take his leave.
“Chief He Nan, let’s talk about these matters later, first accompany me on a trip to Backhill Village.”
However, before He Nan could finish speaking, Rocky interrupted him with a smile, then after giving him a look, he boarded the War Steed without waiting for a response.
Watching He Nan board the War Steed, He Nan hesitated with his mouth slightly open for a long time, eventually sighed quietly to himself, and followed.
Afterward, the War Steed slowly took off from the Skyport and left Thunderhawk City.
Standing on the bow of the War Steed, Rocky did not allow the situation to remain awkward. As the warship broke through the clouds, he pointed below and said, “Chief He Nan, the village below is Backhill Village.”

Since Thunderhawk City hovered above Backhill Village, the War Steed quickly descended after leaving the city, allowing He Nan to easily see the entire village by following Rocky’s pointing finger.
He Nan had actually heard about Backhill Village because although Rocky had not contacted him during this period, Monte and Dusa had become well acquainted with He Nan and the other Beastmen of the Fireteng Tribe. Over this month, the two of them had managed all the tribal affairs, so in this process, He Nan indeed heard about Backhill Village more than once from Monte’s mouth, knowing it was a village under Rocky’s jurisdiction and located on the land.
Yet, even though he had heard about it long ago, when He Nan saw Backhill Village with his own eyes, he could not help but be silently amazed because the village was nothing like he had imagined…
