    ---- Chapter 2954 A thunderous crash rang out as Andrew smashed Jeffrey''s greatsword midair with a single punch, snapping it clean in half. Then, he pped Jeffrey, sending him flying. Blood sprayed everywhere as Jeffrey''s head mmed hard into the city gate, his front teeth shattering as he screamed in agony. Ignoring his wails, Andrew grabbed him by the hair and spoke in a t, cold tone. "Get lost. Warwick City, and the entire wastnd, belongs to the great Ludendorff family. The Church of Light is nothing here. Go back and tell your Lord to wash his ass and wait for Mr.


    Ludendorff to shove it in." Jeffrey was thrown to the ground, clutching his bloodied face as he roared furiously. "You lunatic! You''ll pay with your life for your arrogance! How dare you insult the Church of Light! Your very soul will be burned to ashes in a holy fire!" Andrew replied with contempt. "What Church of Light? In the eyes of Mr. Marshall Ludendorff, you''re nothing. From this moment on, Warwick City is under his control. However many of your peoplee, he will kill them all." Jeffrey staggered to his feet and fled in panic with the few ---- remaining white-cloaked warriors.


    Outside the city, Petra and Juno led their people and a full convoy of supplies straight inside. "Mr. Hearst, you are in charge of organizing the city defenses," Andrew ordered, then returned to the wall. From there, he could see Jeffrey and his men fleeing desperately across the wastnd. Nyx asked, "Why did you let them go? Since we''ve already made our move, it''s a fight to the death. We''ll have to kill them eventually." Andrew replied, "Now isn''t the time topletely burn our bridges. At least, we shouldn''t confront the Church of Light directly just yet.


    God''s Left Hand, Mephiston Vfar, is too powerful. We can''t withstand his wrath right now. But guess what I did?" Nyx was curious. "What did you do?" Andrew smiled. "I told those deserters that we''re from the great Ludendorff family, sent to take over. Now Warwick City belongs to Marshall Ludendorff." Nyx chuckled. She said with exasperation, "You''re really devious. But who is Marshall?" ---- Andrew''s smile widened. "A poor bastard I already killed. Now Warwick City is ours, and we finally have a foothold. And the hatred has been neatly passed on to the Ludendorff family." Nyx frowned.


    "Andrew, Warwick City is too small and too weak. Look at these defenses. They can be breached everywhere. If this continues, we won''tst long." Andrew nodded. "I already nned for that, so rx. This is just our stepping stone. Abyss City, a heavily fortified metropolis with defensive cannons, is my real target." Nyx was shocked. "You want to take over Abyss City too? Garal is a martial god-level fighter, and the city is filled with their troops. We won''t stand a chance." Andrew shrugged, smiling casually. "Whether we have a chance or not, we''ll just have to wait and see.


    Nyx, fortune often changes. We can definitely turn everything upside down. I promised I wouldn''t let everyone live like rats, hiding in the shadows. I want to lead everyone to live openly. In this wastnd, the Ludendorff family, the Church, and the Dark ns think they''re powerful. Now it''s our turn to take charge." Nyx was momentarily stunned. The man before her was speaking so confidently and treating all difficulties as nothing. At that very moment, he seemed truly captivating!
