Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3035

Petra wore full battle armor and led from the front, with Juno following at his side, her curved blade ready to be drawn at any moment. Meanwhile, Nyx sat in a black robe on the only armored vehicle they had.

Before long, Andrew walked out of the city, greatsword in hand, and jumped onto the vehicle. The engine started, and it roared as it charged toward the west.

Behind them, the soldiers followed at a full run, fierce and relentless.

Formed entirely of martial warriors, this kind of short-range forced march posed no problem at all. Several figures watched as Abyss City's army poured out and disappeared into the distance. Then, they rushed back in another direction.

Moments later, inside the city hall of Throne City, Alonzo sat in the central seat and received the report.

"Sir, the people from Abyss City have mobilized! They're heading west toward where the Cathedral's army is positioned."

In the brightly lit hall, the Ludendorff family's top brass all reacted with shock at the news. Then, they broke into laughter.

One commented, "Lord Alonzo, your foresight is flawless! That little bastard has finally taken the bait. This move is a heaven-sent chance for the Ludendorff family to reclaim Abyss City in one strike."

"Lord Alonzo, give the order. I'm willing to personally lead the team to retake Abyss City and wipe out everyone from Dragonfang!"

The last speaker was especially emotional and filled with hatred.

It was Cyril. He ground his teeth, staring at Alonzo in the main seat with fierce eyes.

Alonzo's face was full of smiles. "Finally, the moment I've been waiting for has arrived! I knew all along that Andrew was two-faced, pretending to agree to an alliance with the Ludendorff family against the Cathedral. But in reality, he's been treating us, the King of the Wastelands, like fools behind our backs!"

Alonzo sneered. "This is what happens when someone overestimates themselves. Andrew thinks he's got the Ludendorff family by the throat and that everything has to go his way! This little thief has no idea of the century-long foundation and power of the King of the Wastelands!

"There's no doubt that his attack on the Cathedral army to the west is just for show, putting on an act for us. He wants to shut the Ludendorff family up and make us think he's actually coordinating with us. Men like him always destroy themselves."

One of the Ludendorff elders spoke up. "Lord Alonzo, the werewolf and vampire armies will reach their designated positions soon. Kass rushing to link up with another Cathedral force shows he is being cautious. I think the family needs to respond accordingly."

Alonzo snorted coldly. "Of course. Dragonfang and Andrew are certainly despicable, but the Cathedral's army is the Ludendorff family's greatest threat! The werewolf and vampire armies have finally mobilized. Hence, the main family forces in Throne City need to regroup and prepare to move out at any time too. I'm going to join forces with the two great Dark Clans and crush the Cathedral army from both sides. The outcome of this war will be decided in this battle."

The entire hall roared in response, voices overlapping with fierce determination.

Alonzo leaned back in his throne and gazed out toward the distant Wastelands. The night sky ruled the world in pitch-black darkness. Yet in his mind, he already saw Abyss City engulfed in flames and members of the Dragonfang fleeing for their lives.
