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

Cyril snorted coldly. "Fine, since you've already guessed it, I'll just say it straight with you. The Ludendorff family has forged alliances with both the vampires and the werewolves. The Outlands is the gateway to Dark Sacred Mountain and The Blood Sanctum. The honor and downfall of the Ludendorff family are tied directly to the honor and downfall of those two Dark Clans."He continued, "The werewolf progenitor and the vampire ancestors would never stand by and watch the Cathedral destroy the Ludendorff family."The Blood Sanctum was the vampire clan's stronghold, a place that Andrew found utterly repulsive.After a pause, Andrew sneered. "The Ludendorff family is human, yet you've sunk so low as to become lapdogs for the Dark Clans? To get these two Dark Clans to back you up as the King of the Wastelands, I bet your family has done plenty of bootlicking, even groveling on your knees, right?"Cyril said coldly, "That's our family's internal business and none of your concern!"And

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 th

Juno took a deep breath and said, "Andrew is playing this game on a whole different level. When this is all over, and the Ludendorff family is truly destroyed, he'll be the King of the Wastelands."Nyx smiled without saying a word. Inside, she felt an indescribable sense of joy.Outside Abyss City, over 1000 elite soldiers charged forward at full speed."Pick up the pace. In three minutes, we'll attack."The low, icy command echoed from the front.Raiden's eldest son, Ramon, held a massive greatsword and wore black armor as his aura steadily rose. He bore some resemblance to Prescott, but he was not the soft, polished type. His deep-set eyes and harsh expression marked him as a calculating and ruthless man.And indeed, that was the truth. After Ramon took control of Aurora City, he immediately seized several smaller surrounding cities. This had made the Ludendorff family's stronghold of Throne City feel somewhat uneasy.Even Raiden himself was furious about Ramon's actions, ye

The Godslayer blade pulsed with light, each wave stronger than the last, flashing three times in rapid succession. It transformed into a blazing greatsword, glowing white-hot.Then, Andrew drove it straight into the open jaws of the charging panther.Somewhere in the void, a shrill, miserable howl seemed to echo. The panther-shaped sword aura shattered and dissipated into thin smoke.Ramon's eyes narrowed as he realized he had underestimated Andrew's ability to break force with force. Nonetheless, he stood at the peak of the martial god realm. Among the Dark Clans, he could already be considered a Dark Lord. One step further, and he would have the strength of a Dark Prince.He refused to believe he could not kill Andrew.If Andrew fell, Abyss City would never hold with Dragonfang alone. After that, it would fall right into his hands, Ramon's hands.The fight might become far more brutal, but as someone from the King of the Wastelands family, as long as his sky-high ambition cou
