Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 770 - 732: War Dividends

Chapter 770: Chapter 732: War Dividends

For the imminent Third Counterattack War, every City Lord in the sky, every force treated it with utmost importance, which was unavoidable, as everyone understood that this was not just a war against the Demons. In fact, it was also a battle facing them, in which the weak would be eliminated, and elimination meant extinction. Conversely, those who performed admirably in this war would secure a superior position in the next era, so no one wanted to be eliminated; everyone wanted to be prepared before the next era arrived.

In such circumstances, the sky fell into an unusual silence. The overt and covert struggles between cities or forces had vanished during this period, and every City Lord, every force was preparing for war to the best of their abilities.

Every city had started conscription, a large number of residents were drafted into the military and began training, and the alliances were also purchasing armaments in large quantities during this period. Armor, warships, Mana Equipment, and other military supplies were unprecedentedly popular, even leading to supply shortfalls. Naturally, the greatest beneficiaries were the armament dealers.

Take Apple Tree Corporation, for example.

As a giant in the warship sector, Apple Tree Corporation had been producing warships that always held a good reputation in the sky; almost everyone knew about their close cooperation with Rocky. To order the most perilous Rune Armor, that is, the Thunderhawk Armor, one could only go through Apple Tree Corporation. Given the current situation, this led to an unprecedented demand for Apple Tree Corporation’s products. Even though they hadn’t yet released their Rune Battleship, the sheer sales of regular warships had made them incredibly profitable.

As Apple Tree Corporation’s business boomed, sales of Thunderhawk Armor and Tank Armor naturally surged as well. The initial intent behind this sales frenzy was to prepare for the upcoming counterattack war. These two types of armor designed by Rocky happened to be excellent weapons against Demons, naturally drawing everyone’s favor, and this was not an exaggeration but proven through extensive real combat.

Considering the timeline, the Tank-type Armor had been on the international market for over a year. In this year, numerous City Lords and alliances had purchased this new type of Land Combat Armor. The Tank Armor had not disappointed, achieving outstanding results in a series of ground battles, proving its combat ability early on and directly promoting a comprehensive evolution of Land Combat Armor.

To this day, traditional Land Combat Armor had been completely phased out. Every armor manufacturer, including giants like Sigma Corporation and Uranus Corporation, were all imitating Tank Armor in developing their own Land Combat Armor. Sigma and Uranus, with their profound heritage, were the first to reverse-engineer the Tank-type Armor successfully and developed their own versions, quickly capturing the market and preventing Rocky from monopolizing this market segment.

Due to Sigma and Uranus launching their own Tank-type Armors successively, for a considerable time, the Tank Armor produced by Rocky actually couldn’t sell because the competitors’ armors were not only cheaper but some also performed better than Rocky’s. This suddenly took a large number of customers from Rocky and Apple Tree Corporation.

Luckily, Rocky soon launched a new generation of Tank Armor with Rune as its core, which allowed him to recapture the market. Even so, Sigma and Uranus Corporation had still managed to establish a foothold in the market for Land Combat Armor, taking a significant market share from Rocky.

Yet even so, Tank-type Armor continued to receive numerous orders, and let’s not forget Rocky still had the ace product, the Thunderhawk Armor.

Compared to Tank-type Armor, Thunderhawk Armor hadn’t been on the market long, but it possessed advantages unique to it due to the most advanced and exclusive Rune Technology of Rocky, making it incomparable to any other armor on the market. More importantly, since no one else possessed Rune Technology, no other armor manufacturer could replicate Thunderhawk Armor like they did with the Tank Armor, including giants such as Sigma and Uranus.

This made Thunderhawk Armor a unique presence on the market. As a Mass-production Type Armor, Thunderhawk Armor’s superior performance made the old Fifth Generation Mass-produced Armor look inferior; any capable City Lord or Alliance would choose Thunderhawk Armor, as this powerful armor undoubtedly increased their chances of victory in the counterattack war.

For other armor manufacturers, facing such a formidable competitor was frustrating, but there was nothing they could do because unless traditional technology underwent a breakthrough, facing the unprecedented Rune Technology, these manufacturers had no means to retaliate. Their only option was to try to retrofit existing Fifth Generation Mass-produced Armor to preserve a semblance of honor for traditional armors.

And it must be said, some had indeed succeeded, such as Sigma Corporation.

While other companies were at a loss, Sigma Corporation promptly launched the mass-production version of Holy Angel Armor. Once launched, Mass-produced Holy Angel Armor immediately became popular for its performance that surpassed Thunderhawk Armor and was even comparable to Fifth Generation Special Armor. This was hardly surprising, after all, Holy Angel Armor was essentially Fifth and a Half Generation armor, so its prototype design ensured the mass-production version would not be weak.

Unfortunately, Mass-produced Holy Angel Armor not only inherited the advantages but also the sole disadvantage of Holy Angel Armor, which was its high cost. Although its performance was superior, the price, despite being reduced several times, was still nearly double that of the Thunderhawk Armor. Thus, after its rollout, it indeed won many orders for Sigma Corporation but did not impact the sales of Thunderhawk Armor significantly.

In this surge of arms sales, Rocky also caught a favorable wind. Like other armament dealers, the two armament factories in Thunderhawk City were also receiving continuous orders during this period. The armors they produced were shipped to various corners of the sky in batches. The huge number of orders not only kept the factories running at full capacity but also brought substantial income to Rocky.

Due to the relentless flow of armor orders, the revenue of Thunderhawk City during this period surged continuously. Not to mention exceeding a million each quarter, now Thunderhawk City’s monthly revenue could easily break through a million!

This outcome was somewhat beyond Rocky’s expectations, but he quickly collected his surprise and started investing a large amount of Gold Coins into development.
