As soon as dawn broke the next day, Prescott's men came to notify them that he wanted to see Andrew. Moreover, they emphasized that he would only see Andrew alone.
Nyx refused to let Andrew go alone and insisted on accompanying him. However, Andrew told her to relax and that he would check out what kind of game Prescott was playing first.
Standing on the city wall, Prescott smiled and said, "Andrew, you see it now, right? A scouting unit from the Cathedral has already appeared outside the city. Uncle Garal and I plan to take the initiative and strike first. Instead of sitting back and letting the army fully gather, it's better to catch them off guard and seize the upper hand."
Andrew nodded and replied, "That's an excellent idea."
Prescott paused, clearly surprised by Andrew's reaction. He sneered and said, "Then, Andrew, this task will fall to you and your people. Don't worry. We'll send some troops to accompany you out of the city."
Andrew showed a troubled expression.
Seeing this, Prescott snorted. "Andrew, you're not refusing, are you? Abyss City is small, and letting you all in has put Uncle Garal and me under a lot of pressure. Don't you guys have a saying in Holtrien about taking up space without pulling your weight? If you and your people won't step up, then I'll be in a tough position here."
Andrew suppressed a cold laugh and nodded repeatedly, "Your knowledge is truly extensive… You even understand our Holtrien sayings so well. Fine then, since you need us to step up, we'll step up for you. I just don't know whether you plan to take credit for it yourself or let someone else have the glory?"
Prescott flew into a rage but forcibly held it back. After all, he was the one who had embarrassed Andrew first.
He snorted and said, "Spare me your smart mouth and don't try that in front of me. I will be direct: I need you and your people to eliminate the Cathedral's forward force. Can you do it or not? Give me a straight answer."
