Due to the surprisingly peaceful surroundings, the demons had retreated under the floodwaters, and Orton, after completing the original upgrades and renovations, decisively chose to continue letting Thunderhawk City stay on the ground for further modifications.
In the past, even someone as eccentric and crazed as Orton would never dare to do such a thing, but this opportunity was too good and too rare to miss. Not just Orton, but even Rocky couldn't resist, so they decided to let Thunderhawk City remain on the ground for a little longer.
During this time, Orton would further modify the city, with the main goal of building enough Magic Energy Conduction Systems inside the city to provide sufficient mana for arming the city. Although this work could be done in the air, it could be completed much faster on the ground. According to Orton's estimate, what would take three months in the air could be smoothly accomplished in at most a month and a half on the ground.
