Andrew wasted no time, ordering everyone to gather their equipment and supplies before turning back. After that, they marched straight back to Warwick City.
Nyx, as the top assassin, maintained watch from the high ground nearby. She observed everything as Andrew effortlessly recruited Warwick City's forces, her eyes gleaming with approval.
She thought he was truly well-rounded. Under his command, the Dragonfang members all had direction and motivation. Perhaps, just as Reginald had said, Andrew was truly worth everyone's trust.
On Warwick City's walls, the Church warriors had completed their occupation.
Jeffrey Lombardi, the squad captain, wore a dissatisfied expression as he grumbled, "I really don't understand why the Archbishop assigned me to attack this godforsaken dump. As the most sacred and valiant believers of the Church, my battlefield should be in places like Storm City or Abyss City at a minimum."
His lieutenant, Craig Royle, replied, "I heard the fighting there is much more intense and harder to win. I think we're lucky to be assigned here. At least there's no danger."
Jeffrey looked down on him with contempt. "Craig, are you really that much of a coward? If you're so useless, why do you even worship the Lord?"
Craig answered flatly, "I worship the Lord only because I want the status of a Church warrior. Surely, you feel the same way?"
Jeffrey snorted, then laughed. "What a coincidence! Great minds do think alike. Speaking of which, living off the Church is really comfortable. We've already taken Warwick City. Right now, we'll pacify the unruly citizens, and tonight…"
He chuckled and added, "You know what I mean."
Craig's face broke into a sleazy grin. "Of course, I've already had men scout out the women. Tonight, three for you, two for me; all the finest beauties in Warwick City. We'll have our fill!"
A subordinate climbed up the wall to report. "Captain, we've spotted the escaped convoy of Warwick City's mayor returning from outside the city."
Jeffrey frowned. "They're back? Are they not afraid of death? Perfect, if he dares return, we'll burn him alive."
