Chapter 305: Got Your Wish
With the advent of the Alliance Army, the great battle between Thunderhawk City and Mustang City has also come to an end, and everyone may have different opinions about the outcome of this war, but these opinions are not important to Rocky, because shortly after that, he left the City of Sleepless God that had been docked for more than half a year under the escort of the Alliance Army, and went to another city with the Alliance Army.
Dawning City.
Dispatched by Falei, it was Dawning City that came to pick up Rocky, this is a large sky city with a population of 150,000, the area of Sky City is several times the size of Thunder Eagle City, even in the entire Sky Alliance, it is also a very powerful Sky City, and at the same time, Dawning City is not just a member of the Alliance, this city is also a liaison city established by the Sky Alliance.
The sky is vast and boundless, and even if the Sky Alliance has its own airspace, it only occupies a small part of the sky, so the Alliance will scatter some members in various locations in the sky, and then form a kind of network, so that members can get in touch with the Alliance anytime and anywhere.
Dawning City is such a city, so under the dispatch of Farley, this city will come as soon as possible.
When Rocky brought Thunder Eagle City closer to Dawning City, which was several times the size, he came to Dawning City with Farley, and not only met the Dawning City Lord, but also officially joined the Sky Alliance under the witness of the Dawning City Lord!
Yes, Rocky has finally joined the Sky Alliance!
It stands to reason that there are some ceremonies for such a big event as joining the Sky Alliance, after all, this is not a trivial matter for any Sky City, so this process must have some sense of ceremony after all to be solemn, in fact, in order to achieve this effect, the Sky Alliance will choose a specific time every year for members to join.
But Rocky's joining is far less complicated, mainly because his joining is too sudden, and everyone has not prepared for it, plus neither the Sky Alliance nor Rocky himself wants to waste too much time in this regard, the Sky Alliance wants Rocky to join quickly, and Rocky also wants to join the alliance quickly, so neither side is too entangled in this matter.
In this case, the matter of accession was quickly completed, and after the accession, Lodge's previous conditions were also met.
The first is the contribution point.
With Rocky officially joining the alliance, he also got the 1,000 contribution points he asked for before, which he and Farley had already discussed, Farley did not lose his word, the 1,000 contribution points have been included in Rocky's contribution list in the alliance, and he can even use it now.
The second thing is about the mine.
After officially joining the Alliance, Farley told Rocky that as long as he could control the mines in Beishan Village in his own hands, he could manage them himself, but only if he handed over seventy percent of the minerals, as long as he could do this, then the mine would not only be under his management, but also receive a considerable amount of contribution points as a management reward every month, and the Alliance would also send reinforcements when attacked.
And after finalizing these two things, Rocky finally completed a big thing, and he finally got his wish!
In order to celebrate this great event, the whole city of Thunder Eagle, from ordinary residents to Lilia and other officials, celebrated together for three full days.
It's no wonder that everyone is so happy, the Sky Alliance, as one of the largest forces in the entire sky, wants to join the city is simply too many, but there are very few who can really join, there are too many Sky Cities that do not have this qualification, but Thunder Eagle City has done it, which is naturally something worthy of the joy of the whole city.
In fact, not only the others were happy, but even Rocky himself was very happy, because this matter was really important to him, after all, he was the lord of the city of Thunderhawk City!
In Rocky's view, joining the Sky Alliance will be an important turning point for him in this sky, the development of Thunder Eagle City, his own development, and the study of runes, etc., will all have a major turning point with joining the Sky Alliance, this is definitely a solid step for him, and as long as this step is taken, the road in the future will be much easier.
For this reason, Rocky also specially bought a large amount of supplies from Dawning City, so that the residents of the city could take this opportunity to be happy.
But while everyone else was happy, Rocky just had a blast with everyone on the first day, and he didn't have time to relax for the next few days, and he was kept busy.
There is no way, officially joining the alliance also means that Rocky has more things to do.
Joining the alliance is equivalent to taking the first step, but how to go after that needs to be considered by Rocky, of course. He actually had a plan for what he was going to do next.
The first thing he has to do is to spend the contribution points in his hand!
It has been mentioned many times before that in the Sky Alliance, contribution points are equivalent to a kind of currency, and many good things that cannot be bought outside can be exchanged through contribution points, and the reason why he asked Falei for 1000 contribution points is that he hopes to save the time of accumulating contribution points, so that Thunder Eagle City can use the contribution points to directly take a big step forward.
Now that he has joined the Sky Alliance, and all the contribution points are in hand, the next thing to do is to spend all of them, otherwise he won't keep them more.
So for the next few days, he was thinking about what he should buy and how to spend all his contributions.
At first, Rocky didn't think it would be a difficult thing, after all, it was no different from spending money, and as the lord of the city, he didn't dare to say that spending money would always be spent.
However, although Rocky thought so, when he used the magic energy receiver he got after joining the alliance to check what contribution points could be exchanged, he was greatly taken aback, because there were too many things that contribution points could be exchanged!
For contribution points, the Sky Alliance has a complete set of exchange systems, and the things that can be exchanged are basically divided into three categories.
The first category is materials, starting from the most basic food, to all the materials needed for urban development are all included in it, all can be exchanged, there are so many types that people can hardly see it, the most important of which is resources, using contribution points, you can exchange all kinds of resources in the Sky Alliance, from minerals, to medicines, to various materials, basically any resource can be exchanged.
The second category is ordnance, this category is easy to explain, from the equipment used by ordinary soldiers, to the air magic armor, to the large warship, there are all kinds of ordnance that can be exchanged for contribution points, and it is indeed the same as the rumors, and there are indeed some things that can be exchanged that cannot be bought outside at all.
It's just that these weapons, which are difficult to buy outside, although they can be exchanged for contribution points in the alliance, the price is not cheap at all, as few as tens of thousands of contributions, and as many as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of contributions can be exchanged, and the price is really not cheap.
In addition to materials and ordnance, the third type of things that can be exchanged for contribution points is more special, and this category is called construction.
The so-called exchange of construction does not refer to something, but to use contribution points to develop and build a city, for example, the scale of the city needs to be expanded, then you can choose to expand in the construction category, and after paying the contribution points, the Sky Alliance will send someone to expand the city, and for example, the city needs to build a certain type of factory, and you can also use the contribution points to let the Sky Alliance send someone to help.
Even the population can be exchanged for contribution points!
When Rocky found out that contribution points could be used to exchange for population, he was really shocked, as we all know, population is too important for any sky city, so that when measuring the size of a sky city, it is not based on the size of the city, nor on the city's economy or military, but simply by the population, which is enough to show how critical the population is for a city, I never thought that in the Sky Alliance, the population can also be exchanged for contribution points.
This was an unexpected surprise for Rocky, and before he could be happy, he saw the price of exchanging people: 100 contribution points, for 1 person......
Seeing this exchange ratio, he immediately extinguished the fire before he had time to be happy, because according to this exchange ratio, the 1,000 points of contribution in his hand were only enough to exchange for 10 people......
Although the population is important, it must also have a base as a guarantee to be useful, for example, Thunder Eagle City, now the population of Thunder Eagle City is about three thousand, if one person is added, then the population is indeed more, but for the development of Thunder Eagle City, is it meaningful to have an extra person?
Definitely not, unless the current Thunder Eagle City increases its population by a thousand at once, there will be dozens or hundreds of more people than nothing.
But as long as you calculate a little, you can understand that if you want to rely on contribution points to increase the population, one person needs 100 contribution points, 10 people is 1,000 points, 100 people is 10,000 points, 1,000 people, that is 100,000 contribution points!
It takes 100,000 contribution points to increase the population by 1,000, and whether this is a loss or a profit is really a debatable question.
But in short, the things that can be exchanged in the Sky Alliance are very rich, from food to population, as long as there are contribution points, they can all be exchanged.
And after roughly understanding what contribution points can be redeemed, Rocky can't help but have a feeling that there will be less!
No wonder after he made this request, Farley agreed without even thinking about it, and now Rocky understands that it turns out that he wants too few contribution points, because in terms of the contribution system of the Sky Alliance, a thousand points is definitely not a lot, like those rare items that are only available in the Sky Alliance, this thousand points of contribution will definitely not be exchanged.
However, although he felt that he wanted a little less at the beginning, but the matter had come to this point, and Rocky could not go to Farley to ask for contributions again, so he was entangled in being too conservative, so he simply exchanged this thousand points for something first, so as to enhance some strength is the key.
And in the face of so many exchange items, it has become an important thing to exchange the contribution points in his hand for something, after all, he only has a thousand contribution points in his hand after all, and there will be no more if he spends it.
So after this, Lodge spent a lot of time choosing between.
First of all, he removed the construction column, although this item is very important, how Thunder Eagle City wants to expand from a small Sky City to a medium-sized Sky City in the future, it must be used, but now Thunder Eagle City has not developed to the extent that it needs the help of the Sky Alliance.
Secondly, the category of materials was also excluded, after the game with Xia Nai, Rocky got more than five million gold coins, and he took out a full one million gold coins to replenish the treasury of Thunder Eagle City, so the current Thunder Eagle City is still a little rich, enough to be self-sufficient, and there is no need to waste contribution points to buy daily necessities for the time being.
As for resources such as minerals, Orton's research can be used, but the demand is not very large, and the minimum exchange unit of each mineral is hundreds of catties, so it is not used.
So after all the calculations, it is obvious that what Rocky should exchange and the only thing he can exchange is ordnance.
This is indeed what Rocky wants to add, because it is closely related to what he will do next!
Since he asked the Sky Alliance to manage the mines in Beishan Village alone, it means that he has already set his next goal at the mines in Beishan Village.
In fact, it is true, if Thunder Eagle City can master a mine, then the benefits are simply too great, and it will be too helpful for the future development of the city, so when Rocky rescued Wilton and learned that he might join the Sky Alliance, he was in the idea of backing the mountain village minerals, and he planned to retake the mine from the demons!
It's just that this thing can't be done by talking, after experiencing the loss of Tulip City, everyone knows that the demon has moved, so the current land will undoubtedly be more dangerous than before.
As for Rocky, if he wants to get the mine in Beishan Village, he must not only recapture the mine, but also defend it, and if he wants to do this, he not only needs Sky City to be strong, the fleet is strong, but also the soldiers are strong, just like when he carried out the defense task of Beishan Village, he had to send people to defend it in a down-to-earth manner.
And it is at this time that contribution points come in handy.
Among the ordnance that can be exchanged for contribution points, it includes not only high-end air magic armor and large warships, but also equipment and weapons used to equip ordinary soldiers, and because contribution points are more precious than gold coins, only a small amount of contribution points can be exchanged for a large amount of equipment, which is exactly what Rocky needs.
Because the guards of Thunder Eagle City are already strong, they are even stronger after joining a large number of warriors in Beishan Village, which can be seen from the battle to exterminate the Wild Horse Air Pirate Regiment, even a war maniac like Karina must admit that the troops of Thunder Eagle City are very powerful.
In this case, if the troops can be equipped with excellent equipment, then the guards of Thunder Eagle City will undoubtedly go further in strength, and then with the support of the air fleet, it will not be so difficult to defend the mine!
