Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You 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. | scouted it personally and even got close to Kass' command tent. At the time, | 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, | couldn't go in alone. If | left, Nyx and you guys wouldn't be able to hold Abyss City." Knox scratched his head awkwardly. "Yeah, that makes sense. | 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." Juno frowned.

"Then why would the Cathedral suddenly stop advancing? Could it be that with Mephiston gone, the Cathedral is planning to withdraw back to Lomuia?" ---- Andrew thought for a moment, then shook his head again. That's unlikely. If they were going to retreat halfway through, then all that posturing earlier would've been for nothing. What would the Cathedral gain from that? Besides, the Ludendorff family is currently weaker than it's ever been.

If the Cathedral just pushes forward with everything they've got, taking Throne City is completely possible." Everyone fell silent, waiting for Andrew to continue. When it came to reading the situation, these Dragonfang members who came from mercenary backgrounds knew that only Andrew could get it right. "| have two theories. First, the Cathedral is waiting for reinforcements that might show up for the Ludendorff family. Second, the Cathedral is wary of something and chooses to watch and wait while Lomuia sends more powerful fighters over.

But either way, the Cathedral's army has already fought its way to Throne City's gates. There's absolutely no way they'll just give up now. Unless..." Knox pressed, "Unless what?" The others also looked at Andrew with keen interest. Andrew smiled. "Unless His Holiness the Pope in Lomuia is a mole for the Ludendorff family, or to put it more bluntly, is actually one of them!" ---- Nyx actually smiled for once and rolled her eyes. "Please don't joke around, okay? No matter who the Pope is, there's no way he's one of the Ludendorff family.

Otherwise, what would be the point of them fighting themselves?" Andrew nodded. "Exactly my point! So I'm guessing that powerful reinforcements for the Ludendorff family are about to arrive, and that's Raiden's backup plan. Otherwise, there's no way he would feel safe just entering The Veiled Paradise without worrying about his family!" Juno said coldly, "The three Dark Clans have always been in cahoots with the Ludendorff family. Besides that, the three great Western Empires also have secret dealings with the Ludendorff family that nobody knows about.

By backing the King of the Wastelands, those three Empires have raked in plenty of benefits." Andrew said, "That's about right, so we'll just watch and wait. But watching and waiting doesn't mean doing nothing. Mr. Hearst, put out word to attract any refugee mercenaries and powerful fighters interested in coming to Abyss City. It's time for Dragonfang to expand from an organization to a legion." Franz was delighted. "We've already done that, and Abyss City has already started widely accepting Wasteland refugees who come seeking shelter.

It's really surprising, but quite a few skilled fighters have actually come to join us!"
