    ---- Chapter 2957 "Storm City!" Andrew''s finger pointed to the spot on the map representing Storm City. He looked up and scanned the room. He exined, "The governor is Viktor Kessler, a werewolf lord. Werewolves, unlike vampires, don''t fear sunlight. Viktor is a brutal ruler. Storm City houses half a million people, but 300 thousand of them are ves under Viktor''s control! "Right now, the Church''s army has surrounded Storm City. Viktor and the Church are bound to sh in a major battle.


    Whether Storm City can be taken will determine if the Church can sessfully march to the Ludendorff family''s doorstep. To some extent, Storm City serves as an outer gateway to the Ludendorff family''s stronghold at Throne City!" Knox nodded. "That makes sense. But Andrew, what does this have to do with us? Don''t tell me our next step is to take Storm City and crush both Viktor''s werewolf forces and the Church army under our feet?" Juno said coldly, "Knox, keep it to yourself.


    Since you don''t understand, just listen quietly to what Andrew has to say." Andrew smiled and nced at Nyx before continuing. "The more ---- chaotic Storm City gets, the better. Ideally, they''ll keep fighting indefinitely, because that works in our favor. I''m bringing up Storm City''s situation so everyone has an urate understanding of the current Ounds situation." He added, "Our target remains unchanged: it''s still Abyss City." Franz shook his head. "That''s unrealistic.


    With Garal, that martial god, holding a fortified city, we don''t stand a chance." Andrew said grimly, "That''s why we can''t attack him on his terms. We need to create advantages that work in our favor." Nyx asked, "You mean the Church''s army?" Andrew smiled. "Exactly! The fighting has already started in Storm City. Abyss City won''t escape being attacked either. No matter how capable Garal is as the Ludendorff family''s minister, he can''t hold out for long." Juno frowned. "The Ludendorff family won''t give up Abyss City easily. Throne City will send endless reinforcements to Abyss City.


    When that happens, we''ll still be out of options." Andrew shook his head. "Actually, it''s quite the opposite. Look at the map... Abyss City and Throne City form the northern and southern points of the Ludendorff family''s core territory. In other words, the area between Abyss City and Throne City is actually very difficult to defend. ---- "Once Abyss City falls, Throne City will bepletely isted. No matter how many experts orrge forces they send to attack, it won''t matter. They''ll just be feeding the Church''s army easy victories." Franz nodded. "That makes sense.


    But precisely because of this, the Ludendorff family will fight desperately to keep Abyss City out of the Church''s hands." Andrew sneered. "That''s not up to the Ludendorff family to decide. If simply wanting something could make it happen, they would have ruled the world long ago." Petra looked confused and said, "That''s tooplicated. It''s way over my head. Andrew, just tell us what we need to do!" Andrew smiled. "It''s simple. When the Church engages in its first decisive battle with the Ludendorff family outside Abyss City, that''s when we make our move!


    No fortress in this world, no matter how strong, can withstand being torn apart from within!" Nyx was the first to vote. "I have no objections!"
