Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3134 Throne City erupted into panic; the entire place was gripped by fear. Someone shouted, "Move, quick! Get to the walls now. The Cathedral can still hold back, but Andrew could not wait. Damn him!" "The Ludendorff family will never fall. Fight them to the end!" Another roared, "The Black Knight Legion, all units deploy. Live or die, at any cost, you must hold the Ludendorff main stronghold!" Across the city, troops rushed through the streets, taking up defensive positions. From the Throne Hall, orders flew out one after another like a storm.

Alonzo was frantic as he stared at the massive electronic command screen. He needed to know where the next breach might be. Under no circumstances could the family headquarters fall, unless he died in battle. At last, most of the urgent matters were handled. Alonzo made a call he least wanted to make. He said, "Ramon, ---- the family has reached a life-or-death moment. What to do next is up to you." He tried to restrain his anger, yet his words still burned with fury.

On the other end, Ramon replied calmly, "Uncle Alonzo, | am sorry, but there is nothing | can do." Alonzo suddenly roared, "You bastard. Have you forgotten that the blood of the Ludendorff family flows in your veins? Throne City and the Ludendorff family gave you everything. Now that the family stands on the edge of annihilation, how can you just stand by and do nothing? How can you be so cold-blooded?" Ramon's voice sank, carrying anger of its own. "Uncle Alonzo, | already told you, I no longer have the ability to support the family. Throne City has become everyone's target.

Andrew striking first does not mean he is the only one eyeing Throne City. "The Cathedral, the werewolves, the vampires, and even other factions all want it. Uncle, it is useless. The tide has turned. The era of the Ludendorff family ruling the Wastelands is about to end." He continued, "| am the family's only heir now, and | cannot afford to make a single mistake. Securing Aurora City and having a place to stand is the best choice for the Ludendorff family." ---- Alonzo screamed, "You traitorous bastard, you..." Ramon hung up without giving him any chance to vent.

Alonzo's eyes burned with fire. He suddenly smashed the desk phone onto the floor, shattering it into pieces. Outside his office, the guards trembled, yet none dared to enter. After a long while, Alonzo finally calmed down. He looked out the window, and his heart sank deeper and deeper. He mumbled, "The sky looks especially gloomy today." It was as if the weather itself was echoing the Ludendorff family's approaching doom. He shouted, "Bring me my armor!" With that order, guards quickly carried in his battle armor. They helped him suit up piece by piece.

Two minutes later, fully armored and gripping a heavy sword, Alonzo strode out of the Throne Hall. Outside, the Ludendorff family's senior members, along with more than 100 others, were already waiting. Their faces showed fear, rage, and helpless confusion. Alonzo's jaw tightened as his cheek muscles twitched violently. ---- In the past, when Raiden was still around, anyone in the family who dared to look so pathetic and defeated would have been severely punished. The Ludendorff family ruled the Wastelands through fear, and they ruled their own people the same way.

But now, a wave of exhaustion washed over Alonzo. He no longer had the strength or the heart to deal with any of it.
