Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 745 - 708: A Blessing in Disguise
Chapter 745: Chapter 708: A Blessing in Disguise
Before leading the Fleet to clear the Demons on the West Bank, Rocky had already given orders that after his departure, Thunderhawk City would head directly to Red Water Lake. At that time, his idea was relatively simple, wanting Thunderhawk City to land on the West Lake Shore and complete its upgrades.
However, as he encountered a large number of high-level Demons during the clearance process, later met with the Fireteng Tribe, and finally went to the Cave of Blood Cries, amid this series of events, he had essentially abandoned the plan to upgrade Thunderhawk City here, simply because it was too dangerous.
But since everything had happened so suddenly, Rocky hadn’t had the chance to issue new orders to Thunderhawk City, and so the city had already arrived.
In response, Rocky didn’t seem too concerned, because even if it had arrived, there would be no problem as long as it didn’t land.
After this, he thought about Red Water Lake and wanted to know how it was after they had been rescued, whether it was as he had envisioned with all Dissolving Caves submerged, as after all, it was a major matter and couldn’t be neglected.
When he asked about it, Liliya revealed a strange expression and said, “This… you should go see it for yourself, and then make a decision.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Rocky was taken aback and then, with Liliya’s assistance, sat up from the bed. Once he was dressed, Liliya helped him leave the City Lord’s Mansion.
Leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, they took a carriage directly to the Skyport and then boarded the War Steed.
“This… how, how could it turn out like this…”
Standing at the bow of the War Steed, Rocky looked down at the Red Water Lake below, his eyes widened in disbelief.
No wonder he looked shocked, because in his eyes, the former Red Water Lake was now… dried up!
Yes, the vast Red Water Lake had dried up overnight and was now nothing but a dry riverbed.

But that was not all, as when Rocky realized that Red Water Lake had dried up, and then looked towards the shore, he discovered that the lake shore had been completely submerged by floodwaters. The rolling floodwaters had now inundated the entire lakeshore, turning the once Red Water Lake into a solitary patch amidst the flood.
All of this was simply unbelievable to Rocky, and what was even more incredible was that he had caused all this!
“I caused this?”
Turning to look at Liliya, Rocky was baffled, not understanding how he could have such a huge impact.
“Master Wynn came by during the day, and he said it was the big hole you made at the bottom of the lake that caused all the lake water to drain into the Dissolving Cave. But actually, the entrance to the Dissolving Cave wasn’t just at the Cave of Blood Cries. Around Red Water Lake, there are many entrances leading to the Dissolving Cave. So when the lake water poured into the Dissolving Cave, it came back out through these entrances and, with the lake shore’s terrain, it somehow ended up looking like this now.”
“So that’s how it turned out, I really hadn’t thought it would become like this.”
Looking at the dried-up Red Water Lake, especially at a large hole at the bottom of the lake, Rocky turned his gaze to the shore now submerged in the blood-red lake water. He truly found it incredible. He had only intended to drown the Dissolving Cave completely, to drown all the Mother Worms, cocoons, Beetles, and other such Demons, but he had never expected it to end up like this.
This outcome was indeed a surprise to him and everyone else.
“Right, what about He Nan and the Fireteng Tribe?”
After staring at the flood-submerged shore for a moment, Rocky suddenly remembered He Nan and his Fireteng Tribe. They lived in the forest by the shore, and although that forest was quite special, it was undoubtedly submerged!
“Don’t worry, we had already moved everyone from the Fireteng Tribe to Thunderhawk City yesterday.”
“Oh!?”
Upon hearing this, Rocky immediately turned to Liliya with a surprised look, noticing that her expression was also very happy.
Previously, Rocky had expressed to He Nan that he hoped he could bring the Fireteng Tribe to Thunderhawk City or to Backhill Village. He would welcome them anywhere, after all, they were a tribe of Beastmen. If they could join under Rocky, it would undoubtedly increase his strength significantly. Unfortunately, He Nan made it clear that he and his tribe did not want to leave the land, so naturally, Rocky couldn’t force them, and thus the matter was dropped.
However, unexpectedly, although the exploration of the Cave of Blood Cries was fraught with danger and nearly yielded no benefits, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it led to bringing the Fireteng Tribe to Thunderhawk City, which was fantastic!
It’s important to know that after the forest was flooded, the Fireteng Tribe had no place to live. Although moving them to Thunderhawk City didn’t necessarily mean they would agree to become members of Thunderhawk City, it at least provided an opportunity. Moreover, Rocky’s rule wasn’t confined to just one Thunderhawk City; if the Fireteng Tribe was willing, they could very well reside in Backhill Village, also situated on the land.
Thinking of this, Rocky’s mood greatly improved, and he even burst into loud laughter, which was not strange. If he could form an army entirely of Beastmen, it was the kind of thing that any City Lord would be thrilled about just by imagining it, enough to wake up laughing in their dreams.
However, this time, the good news for Rocky didn’t stop there!
Liliya then continued to Rocky, “Rocky, Master Wynn and Teacher Orton had already been here during the day, and they even sent out a scouting team to survey the area. They found that because of the flood, the Demons around here have all retreated, both high-level Demons and Normal Demons alike.”
“So this means… Master Wynn and Teacher suggest…”
Upon hearing this, Rocky looked back at the dried-up Red Water Lake. In his eyes, there wasn’t a single drop of water left in the Red Water Lake, now completely turned into a dry riverbed. And according to what Liliya just said about the flood inundating the shores, causing the Demons to flee, didn’t that mean that Red Water Lake had become the safest place?!
Now, if he could park Thunderhawk City inside the dry riverbed of Red Water Lake, wouldn’t it be possible to complete upgrades safely there?!
This outcome was both astonishing and delightful to Rocky, because he had initially planned to upgrade Thunderhawk City here, but many incidents later forced him to abandon this idea. He never expected that an indirect blessing from misfortune would provide an excellent chance for Thunderhawk City to safely upgrade. This made Rocky extremely excited, as he had never anticipated that he would both gain a tribe of Beastmen and enable a safe upgrade for Thunderhawk City, truly a double celebration.
