Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3031

Franz said, "They're getting closer and closer to Throne City! But for some reason, they've only launched two probing attacks. They haven't actually gone all out to assault Throne City."

Juno frowned and added, "That's right, the Cathedral's army is acting strange. They're already right at the Ludendorff family's doorstep. If they just flatten Throne City, then the King of the Wastelands will be finished! But Kass and the two archangels have been staying out of sight the whole time! The Cathedral's forces have only harassed Throne City a few times, but none of them were real attacks."

Andrew asked, "Juno, did you see all this yourself?"

Juno nodded. "Yes. I scouted it personally and even got close to Kass' command tent. At the time, I was wondering if he had gone to the Deadlands instead!"

Andrew shook his head. "Kass and the two archangels never went there, but Mephiston did go, and he slipped into The Veiled Paradise quietly and without drawing any attention."

Knox exclaimed in shock, "The entrance to that legendary realm actually opened? Andrew, why didn't you guys follow them in?"

Andrew waved his hand. "My dad didn't want me to go in, and besides, I couldn't go in alone. If I left, Nyx and you guys wouldn't be able to hold Abyss City."

Knox scratched his head awkwardly. "Yeah, that makes sense. I was just curious what The Veiled Paradise actually looks like inside."

Nyx said coldly, "You'd better rein in that restless curiosity of yours. The people who've entered that sanctuary are all powerhouses from every faction. Knox, if you went in, you'd most likely die."

Knox shrank back with an awkward laugh.

Franz said gravely, "Andrew, when something changes this suddenly, there is always something behind it. With the Cathedral's army suddenly stopping its attack on Throne City, do you think they might turn around and join forces with the Ludendorff family to attack us instead?"

Andrew shook his head. "That's impossible. First of all, Abyss City's strategic value isn't worth a fight to the death for the Cathedral. Second, with Nyx and me here, plus all of Dragonfang. Even if the Cathedral took Abyss City, they'd suffer countless casualties with nothing to show for it."
