ログインAndrew smiled. "Cyril, you're sharp. You catch on quick. It's simple. What I want is weapons and manpower. Return to Throne City and send me a batch of soldiers. Remember, I want the Ludendorff family's elite troops. Then, add a shipment of military supplies on top of that. I'll have someone draw up a list for you later."Cyril thought he had misheard. "Huh? What did you just say? You want the Ludendorff family's elite soldiers? And weapons too? That's absolutely impossible! Don't even think about it!" After all, the Ludendorff family was already being pressed hard by the Cathedral and desperately needed soldiers and supplies themselves. Yet, Andrew had the nerve to demand those exact things. Did Andrew think the Ludendorff family was running some kind of charity, supporting him so he could grow stronger and become a powerful warlord ruling over the Wastelands?Cyril was not an idiot and immediately understood what Andrew was planning.Andrew shook his head with mock regret. "An
In Abyss City's city hall, Andrew sat in the seat of honor, slowly polishing Godslayer. On either side, the members of Dragonfang remained silent, each tending to their own weapons. Below Andrew stood Cyril, his face dark with anger. His entourage stood behind him, fear evident on their faces, shifting uncomfortably where they stood.The Ludendorff family delegation had been waiting for half a day now. Yet, Abyss City's people had ignored them the entire time.Cyril was no ordinary man. He was a martial god, not some small fry. However, this bastard was deliberately ignoring him, which only made Cyril's fury burn hotter. "Andrew, what the hell is the meaning of this?" he finally snapped, unable to contain himself any longer as he stepped forward, his face livid.Andrew raised Godslayer and pointed it at Cyril, examining the spotless gleam along its blade before smiling faintly. "The Ludendorff family doesn't exactly seem like they're asking for favors here. Instead, you're com
Alonzo reminded him, "Remember, you need to watch your attitude. Based on how arrogant and sharp Andrew has shown himself to be, if you act too high and mighty, he probably won't buy it and might even get pissed off. If that happens, it'll be counterproductive. Understand?"Cyril's face was full of humiliation. "I understand. But may I suggest someone else go to negotiate with Andrew? After all, I've had a direct confrontation with him before."Alonzo waved a hand dismissively. "No need. Precisely because you've met him, you're the right person. Past conflicts don't matter anymore, Cyril. At this point, you are likely no match for him. So, you should know what to do to protect yourself and the family."Cyril looked pained. "Fine. I'll set out immediately."Of course, Cyril knew what he needed to do to protect himself and the family. He would have to bow, beg for mercy, force a smile, and flatter Andrew.Yet, he was a martial god, one of the Ludendorff family's pillars, and Andrew
At Throne City, urgent military reports flooded in.A family elite knelt before the great hall, his voice urgent. "Sir, the Cathedral's army has bypassed Abyss City and is advancing on the family's headquarters. They're currently less than 120 miles from Throne City. All our outposts along the way have been unable to resist and have been overrun."Alonzo, who had taken Raiden's place presiding over the Ludendorff family's central affairs in the great hall, was shocked."How did they get here so fast? Has Abyss City already fallen to the Cathedral?"His voice boomed, filled with furious disbelief.The kneeling subordinate trembled as he replied, "There is no sign of change in Abyss City. From the intelligence we have, it should still be in Dragonfang's hands."Alonzo stiffened, gritting his teeth. "So you're saying Abyss City allowed the Cathedral army to march straight through to attack Throne City? What the hell is that Andrew playing at?"Cyril and the others were furious, pra
Most importantly, Andrew somehow remained calm and composed as he faced the Cathedral's white tide, completely unfazed. Besides, everything he said hit the mark perfectly, leaving Kass with no response. They had managed to take down Storm City, yet this puny Abyss City had proven to be an iron wall. Kass was reluctant, but he chose to accept reality. He said, "Fine, we'll do as you say. The Cathedral will bypass Abyss City and continue our assault on Throne City. But Andrew, you're now a regional warlord in your own right. I hope you'll stick to what you just said and avoid further conflict with the Cathedral."And I, in the name of the Cathedral's Holy Lord, promise you that without explicit orders from above, we won't attack Abyss City again."Andrew smiled. "Now that's more like it, Cardinal. Let's all go our separate ways. Here's to wishing you success in taking Throne City soon."Watching Andrew swagger back to Abyss City, Kass stood there with rapidly shifting expressions, l
Andrew's greatsword was already resting on his shoulder. He slowly descended to the ground, looking at Kass as he said coldly, "The Cathedral and I don't have any deep grudges. Rosemary ambushed me once in Wraith Graveyard. By right, with her being so underhanded, I should have killed her. But I didn't. "Instead, I only took Saint John's inherited power. As for her, she brought it on herself and was killed by the Ludendorff family. It has nothing to do with me. Cardinal, I'm not holding back because I fear the Cathedral. From where I stand, you should know that I don't have to fight to the death to defend Abyss City. "In the worst-case scenario, I fight your army to mutual destruction, then abandon the city and escape. You should be clear that Dragonfang's current strength might not be enough to hold the city, but no one can stop us from escaping, not you in your injured state, and not with these two angels either. "Even if God's Left Hand showed up, he wouldn't be able to capt
