Chapter 595: A Fire in the Backyard
Originally ready for battle, Rocky had even led his fleet to fly away from the airport, but instead of igniting the battle he was expecting, Sky City sent by the Condominium Alliance was gone......
Seeing Sky City gradually moving away, Rocky was stunned at first, and then immediately ordered to return, and when he returned to Thunderhawk City, he immediately found Athena!
"Athena, has something changed?"
Looking at Athena with a frown, Rocky already had an extremely ominous premonition, if it was other forces that encountered Heavenly Fury City and retreated, it would be understandable, but how could the Condominium Alliance be like this?
Although Rocky didn't catch up with the battle the day before, he always sent a reconnaissance ship to pay attention to the movements of Skywry City, so he clearly knew that when the two sides exchanged fire yesterday, it was the troops of the Commonwealth Alliance who took the lead in firing, which shows that the Commonwealth Alliance clearly wanted to fight with Skywrath City, why did the Commonwealth Alliance stop fighting after only a skirmish, not only did it not fight, but it simply retreated?
This is not very much in line with the style of the Condominium League......
It was precisely because of this strange performance of the Condominium Alliance that Rocky felt that something was wrong, so he immediately recruited Athena.
However, in the face of his question, Athena frowned and thought for a long time before she glanced at him: "My lord, it seems...... We're planning ahead of schedule. ”
"That's right. ”
Nodding her head, Athena further said: "The retreat of the Condominium Alliance is a very dangerous signal, obviously the other party has received some kind of warning or even threat, and this threat is not even able to resist the Condominium Alliance, so if my expectations are good, our next situation will be even worse, so we must take action and cannot delay any longer." ”
“............”
Hearing Athena's words, Rocky completely twisted his brows into a dead knot, he and Athena had indeed planned before, otherwise it would not have been possible to react so quickly after the blockade of Beishan Village in Heavenly Fury City, and immediately thought of a way to crack it.
But listening to Athena's current meaning, their plan obviously did not change quickly, and the other party's reaction was far tougher than they imagined, which forced Rocky to take countermeasures, otherwise it would be too late.
In fact, it was really too late, because just after the Sky City of the Condominium Alliance withdrew, the Heavenly Fury City really sealed off Beishan Village, and Erwin completely carried out the order given by Rick, and began to strictly prohibit all caravans from approaching Beishan Village, and whoever dared to disobey would directly open fire!
In this case, the blockade that had just been broken through immediately returned to its original state, and it was even tighter than the previous blockade, because this time the Heavenly Fury City did not even let go of the caravan of Xiaotian, although it was not serious enough to prevent it from entering and leaving, but every entry and exit had to be strictly investigated to ensure that the materials on it were not used to help Rocky.
And this time, the Heavenly Fury City was obviously not in a coy manner, because not long after, a group of merchant ships from the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce arrived, and as a result, in the face of the caravan that still had hundreds of escort ships, this time the Heavenly Fury City had no mercy at all, and the two sides directly launched an extremely fierce battle after meeting!
As a result, Rocky's situation simply took a turn for the worse, and the caravans, which had just resumed for a few days, were suddenly cut off.
And just when Rocky was busy because of this, his backyard caught fire again.
"What?!"
That night, Rocky was discussing with the president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, Aman Hong, and the two were discussing how to transport goods through the merchant ships of Sirius City as secretly as possible, when they suddenly received news from the research institute that someone was planning to steal the technology in the research institute!
Hearing the news, Rocky immediately ended his communication with Amanhong, and then took people to the research institute non-stop, and when he arrived at the research institute, Orton and the other four had already been waiting for him for a long time, and not only the four of them were there, but also a middle-aged man who Rocky didn't know at all.
When Rocky hurried to Orton's bedroom, he saw a middle-aged man with an honest appearance kneeling on the ground, although there was no rope on his body, but the whole person had already been controlled by Orton's magic and couldn't move at all.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
Glancing at the middle-aged man he didn't know at all, Rocky looked at Orton.
"Tonight when I was in the research room and Hammer Fire Research, the alarm in the room suddenly went off, and when I came back to look, I saw this guy trapped in the room. ”
As he spoke, Orton glanced at the middle-aged man coldly.
After hearing this, Rocky turned his head to look at the middle-aged man on the ground, and then squatted in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"Great, sir, I, I'm a servant here, I, I don't...... I really didn't steal anything......!"
Maybe he was really scared, and in the face of Rocky's eyes looking at him, the middle-aged man was so frightened that he was incoherent, and he almost cried.
"You're a servant here?"
Looking at the man with a frown, Rocky asked again.
"Yes, yes!"
Faced with this question, the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.
The so-called servant, to put it bluntly, is a cleaner, especially in the research institute, although the institute does not allow outsiders to enter, even if the scale is expanded later, but some things must be handled by the servant, such as cleaning and hygiene, Orton They have always been only obsessed with research, and from time to time there will be a few small accidents in the research room, so whether Rocky and Orton want to or not, they must have a servant to clean.
The man in front of him was the maid of the institute, so it was no wonder that Rocky didn't know this person at all, because these servants didn't dare to bother when Orton and Rocky were researching, and they would only clean up when they finished their research.
According to this man, it was because Orton was conducting research in the research room that he found an opportunity to clean his room, and as a result, he accidentally set off the magic alarm that Orton had placed in the room.
And this statement really doesn't sound flawed, but the most important thing is that the servants usually do this, and when Orton and the others are resting, these servants hurry up to clean the laboratory, and when Orton and them experiment, the servants take the time to clean their respective rooms, and this has always been the case.
And the person in front of him also feels quite honest and honest, and he doesn't look like a cheater.
So after listening to the other party's words, Rocky stood up, and then said to Monte on the side: "Take him to prison for me, and let him tell the truth by any means!"
