Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3034 On the Abyss City training grounds, Petra had begun training the newly recruited soldiers. Among the Dragonfang organization, Petra was not a big talker. However, he was absolutely the most reliable and steady warrior when it came to getting things done. Andrew looked at the 500 soldiers taking shape on the field, all fully equipped and sharp-eyed, and he slowly nodded. Yet, Nyx was unimpressed. "These people are all pretty weak. | could kill every single one of them." Andrew smiled. "You can't look at it that way.

Lower-level soldiers are the main attacking force in any war. Someone like you is meant to be the blade or the finishing blow. Different roles serve different purposes." Nyx asked, "Then why don't we recruit high-level warriors and form a more powerful legion? Like the Cathedral's Vindicators. Wouldn't elite troops like that be better?" Andrew smiled bitterly. "Do you think building a great army, especially an elite one, is that easy? Every single one of the Vindicators was carefully trained.

The Lomuia Grand Cathedral's influence is so massive that it dominates the entire globe, but do you know how many years it took to reach that level of power?" ---- Before Nyx could answer, Andrew continued. "Dozens of generations of popes pouring their hearts into it, countless wars and trials, that's what forged their current scale and strength. Nyx, you can't rush these things. We have to take it slow." Nyx gave a soft hum and said gently, "I'll go with anything you say. Franz hurried over and said, "The Cathedral's army is on the move." Andrew's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?

Are they attacking Throne City?" Franz shook his head. "They're not attacking Throne City. They're marching west instead. It looks like they're going to bypass Throne City and join up with another Cathedral army from the west!" Hearing this, Andrew could not help but frown. Nyx said hesitantly, "The Cathedral isn't giving up on their assault on Throne City, are they? This war has gone on for so long now. The Cathedral must be exhausted too, with significant losses. And now with Mephiston gone, the Cathedral might be planning to withdraw." Andrew shook his head.

"There's no way the Cathedral would give up halfway. War isn't child's play. Once it starts, it's hard to ---- stop. The only way to recover losses is to take the objective and strengthen yourself. So if Kass is doing this, he must have some other strategic goal!" Franz smiled bitterly. "| can't make sense of it, but | think we don't need to worry about all that. Let's just focus on making Abyss City even stronger first!" Andrew said, "No matter how fast we grow, we still need time.

But right now, whether it's the Cathedral or the Ludendorff family, either side can swallow up Abyss City completely. So time isn't on our side. We'll have to create our own advantages. Mr. Hearst, which major city is to the west in the Outlands?" Franz was startled, then answered, "There's nothing but wasteland to the west. While there's no major city, in the far west lies the Werewolf Sacred Mountain ruled by the Dark Clans." Andrew gradually broke into a smile. "Now | understand what the Cathedral is trying to do.

Pass the word: tonight at midnight, we march!" Franz said in shock, "Tonight? Andrew, what are you planning? Is the target the Ludendorff family's stronghold, or are you going to ambush the Cathedral's army?" Andrew shook his head. "Neither. We're taking this opportunity to capture several nearby cities. At the very least, we need three more cities as Abyss City's rear defenses." ---- Franz hesitated. "But there aren't many major cities left in the surrounding area. Plus, two of them are controlled by the Ludendorff family.

The other one was taken by the Cathedral and left in limbo." Andrew made a decisive call. "First, we'll take the two cities held by the Ludendorff family." Nyx interjected, "That's not very realistic! Those two cities are very close to each other and can support each other. Plus, one of them, Aurora City, is controlled by Raiden's eldest son, Ramon. He's a pillar of the Ludendorff family, just like Alonzo! Compared to Prescott, Ramon's strength is a whole level higher." Andrew said coldly, "| can still kill him!" Franz, Nyx, and several others around them fell into silence.

Andrew was growing more powerful and more terrifying by the day. His grasp on the situation was also becoming increasingly violent. Compared to Dragonfang's old style of hiding and being extremely cautious, this was a massive change. Near midnight, massive searchlights atop Abyss City snapped on with a thunderous boom. Blinding beams of light flooded the surrounding area. Below the walls, 500 soldiers had already assembled.
