Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 702 - 702 665 Guiding Public Opinion

Chapter 702: Chapter 665: Guiding Public Opinion Chapter 702: Chapter 665: Guiding Public Opinion Since the last demon attack, Backhill Village had become relatively quiet, even though it would still be harassed by demons every now and then, but these harassments were considered normal. At most, there would be about a hundred demons, and without any Flying Demons, which meant that Rocky was having quite a good time recently.

However, unlike the tranquility of Backhill Village, the outside world was not the same.

Now, two months had passed since the last large-scale demon attack, and during these two months, the Demons had launched two more organized attacks. Though neither was as large as the first, dozens of Sky Cities and multiple times more land properties had been attacked. In addition to that, small-scale attacks occurred daily.

It could be said that the past two months had been the worst in the last decade. By this time, even deliberate concealment by the Shadow Alliance was useless; everyone had already felt the change, and enormous panic thus spread throughout the skies.

Facing the panic of the people, The Three Great Alliances had no choice but to gather a large military force, on one hand to increase the security around safe zones, and on the other hand to enhance their patrol and support efforts. As long as a Sky City was attacked and a rescue request was issued, the troops of The Three Great Alliances would immediately move out to assist, and that assistance was gratuitous.

In this situation, the scene was finally brought under control, but that was merely preventing it from getting worse. In fact, everyone knew that the skies could never be as sunny and bright as before.

The Three Great Alliances were naturally aware of this, so they subsequently changed their strategy and began gradually leading public opinion.

“Look, this is the intelligence that just arrived today.”

Rocky was handling official duties in his study when Athena came in, bringing intelligence from the Shadow Alliance.

“What does it say?”

“A statement from a group of demonologists.”

As she spoke, Athena sat on the sofa and then unfolded the intelligence, reading, “Master Chernikov’s latest report indicates that the appearance of Flying Demons undoubtedly represents a breakthrough in demon evolution, and the presence of Flying Demons also indirectly confirms Master Chernikov’s previous conjectures that the direction of demon evolution is closely related to their attack targets…”

The so-called demonologists refer to a group of scholars who specialize in studying demons. These individuals focus academically on demons, and for this reason, many major alliances provide substantial support for their re

Counterattack wars of this global scale require very careful handling of public opinion. Only by mobilizing the enthusiasm of everyone in the skies could the real war commence. Given the current situation, where everyone was immersed in panic, even if The Three Great Alliances were ready for battle, they could not start the war. Therefore, it was necessary to mobilize people’s enthusiasm, make everyone feel that this war was necessary, and generate a desire for it. Only by achieving this could the actual war begin.

And from the content of the report just read, the Shadow Alliance was clearly guiding the public’s thoughts because the intelligence stated that although demons had begun to evolve, this evolution was just beginning. This implicitly told everyone that they must initiate the war sooner rather than later, lest it be too late. And since the Shadow Alliance had started reporting this, it indicated that The Three Great Alliances were preparing for war!

“Pretty much.”

After Rocky finished speaking, Athena nodded slightly, “From this report, it’s indeed clear that The Three Great Alliances have already begun to stir up the public. However, they probably haven’t made full preparations yet, at least from the intelligence I have received.”

“Oh? What intelligence have you received?”

It had been mentioned before that Athena had her own intelligence network, which was no less robust than that of the Shadow Alliance, so upon hearing this, Rocky immediately asked.

“According to my intelligence, there seems to be a division among The Three Great Alliances.”

“A division? Why?”

“Because of you, of course.”

After looking at Rocky, Athena smiled.
