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. Seein

Prescott shouted, "You all saw that, right? This idiot actually trashed the corpses of the Cathedral's fallen warriors. To the faithful of Lomuia Grand Cathedral, such an act is a deep blasphemy. This moron just provoked Cathedral's entire army."Knox shrugged, looking innocent. "Andrew doesn't know that. You saw it yourself. He was being beaten back by the Cathedral's warriors, completely overwhelmed. If he didn't do something to hit back, wouldn't he have died for nothing?"Prescott roared, "Shut up! All of you from Dragonfang, prepare immediately to participate in Abyss City's defense. If I catch anyone slacking off, playing tricks, or deserting during battle, I'll execute them on the spot without question!"…Meanwhile, outside the city. Andrew appeared to be barely holding on, stumbling as he fled back toward Abyss City.In reality, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. He had not wanted to antagonize the Cathedral too deeply. However, the moment the battle started,

Andrew said, "Wouldn't it be better if Dragonfang's skilled fighters harassed the battlefield from other positions?"Prescott sneered, "Yes, Dragonfang's skilled fighters harassing from other positions would indeed disrupt Cathedral's assault more effectively. However, your earlier performance really upset me. So as punishment, you'll take your people and guard the city gates for me. You'll do that until I'm satisfied."Andrew turned and left the wall with a bitter expression. In truth, the moment he turned away, the mockery and killing intent in his eyes surged to their peak.Originally, Andrew had wondered if taking Abyss City should be done more gently. He had even thought about sparing the Ludendorff family from excessive damage. Now, he realized that the idea had been far too naive.People like Prescott, born into the Ludendorff family, were ruthless and cruel to the core. Just the fact that he had ordered slaves to be used as human shields and sent to their death was enough.

Franz snorted coldly, then swung his longsword down with full force. However, Makhaylus' physical body was unbelievably hard. With a dull crash, the blade was knocked flying, while Makhaylus himself remained completely unharmed.Makhaylus' terrifying strength was about to slam into the city gate. Yet Andrew, standing at the rear, still rested his hand on his sword and did not move, as if he had not even noticed Makhaylus approaching.It was as though the danger did not exist to him at all.A flicker of dark light flashed across the battlefield again and again. Then, Nyx's dagger lightly swept across the back of Makhaylus' neck.Makhaylus' once-indestructible body suddenly erupted with a burst of white radiance. He let out a shocked roar and no longer dared to attack the gate, instead spinning around with fear written all over his face."Dragonfang assassin, Nyx?" He retreated three full steps, pulling back into the center of the Cathedral's army before he finally felt safe.Nyx l

Prescott sneered. "Now, get on your knees before me, or I'll take your head and let Dragonfang learn who the true master of Abyss City is."Petra, Juno, and Knox could no longer take it. However, before they could make a move, Andrew raised his hand and stopped them.He laughed and said, "Don't get worked up. After all, Prince Prescott is absolutely right. He's indeed the master of Abyss City, but only until this very moment."Andrew's words caught Prescott off guard. He thought Andrew was acting far too defiant, almost rebellious. Did Andrew truly believe he would not dare to touch him?Suddenly, the greatsword in Andrew's hand trembled violently. Then, Godslayer, rarely fully drawn by Andrew, was completely unsheathed. Dark crimson energy swirled around it like a tornado.Prescott's expression changed drastically. "You…"Andrew's first strike did not go toward Prescott. Instead, it cut toward Garal, who was not far away.Garal roared and raised his battle axe to block. The r
