After the match with Ober, Rocky didn't immediately go on to the next match. First, he needed some rest, and second, there were matters of Thunderhawk City that required his attention.Recently, Rocky had devoted most of his energy and time to the re

All these experiences made it crystal clear to Rocky how terrifying the cost of war could be. It was precisely because of this deep understanding that he desired even more to rapidly develop Thunderhawk City, especially its economy.

Unfortunately, such developments couldn't be achieved overnight, especially now. Although Rocky wanted to focus on economic development, the situation did not allow for it.

Currently, he was facing the significant and tangible threat of Wild Horse City. In fact, Wild Horse City was waiting just outside the airspace of Eternal City for him. To deal with this formidable enemy, he truly had no choice but to invest every single penny into the military, ensuring that he could survive after leaving Eternal City. Survival was the most important thing.

So after a brief moment of excitement and joy, Rocky began his next step of planning.

The contest with Ober earned him over four hundred thousand Gold Coins, and the leather trade brought in another hundred thousand, meaning he now had another five hundred thousand Gold Coins in hand.

Out of these five hundred thousand Gold Coins, fifty thousand were left in Thunderhawk City for emergencies, one hundred thousand were given to Aileen for gambling stakes, and two hundred fifty thousand were handed to Orton to sustain the costs of research. As for the remaining one hundred thousand, Rocky used them as reserves for war.

A battle between Thunderhawk City and Wild Horse City was inevitable in the near future, and it was clear to anyone that Thunderhawk City currently didn't stand a chance against Wild Horse City. Therefore, Rocky had to expand his military forces, whether it be warships or Armor. Only by doing so could he ensure his survival against the opposition.

But this required Gold Coins, and a significant amount at that. Hence, he had to start preparing for the upcoming great war from now, ensuring he had enough Gold Coins in reserve to expand his forces when necessary.

To earn more money, Rocky had to continue participating in Arena contests. After all, the rewards and betting associated with the Arena could provide him with significant income in a short period, even though it was fraught with danger. But it was a shortcut to earning Gold Coins.

And so, after setting up everything in Thunderhawk City, he reached out to Howard, ready to begin his next Rank match.
