    ---- Chapter 3002 Conrad exined, "Andrew''s name has already spread throughout the Wastnds. Right now, every major faction wants to settle scores with him. Among them, the Cathedral and the Ludendorff family are the two most powerful forces." He paused before going on, "As for Dragonfang, they recently killed two vampire duke-level fighters. Justtely, the werewolf lord, Viktor Kessler, was killed near Storm City. People suspect Dragonfang was behind that too. "But that doesn''t even matter anymore, because Andrew and his Dragonfang crew also took down a werewolf duke.


    The werewolf ns have already issued a warrant for Andrew''s arrest. They definitely want him dead." Conrad let out a bitterugh. "Andrew''s definitely capable of racking up this kind of record. All I can say is, he''s truly returned to his true nature now. You heard it earlier... Mr. Lloyd Senior thinks that the next time they meet, Andrew probably won''t be any weaker than him." Valerie and Luna were both shocked and thrilled. Reflecting on how powerful Andrew, their man, had be, they felt immense pride.


    However, Kyrie, being a direct descendant of the Harding family ---- from Holtrien, could not bring himself to smile. His throat felt dry. At this rate, what would be of the Harding family when Andrew eventually returned home? Kyrie did not dare to think about it; his head was spinning. Marco spoke up then. "Everyone should rest for now. We need to mark the entrance location to the Veiled Paradise and report it back to militarymand. Also, we need to figure out if Mr. Lloyd Senior wants any of us to apany him into the sacred realm.


    "And finally, our most important mission on this trip: gather as much intel as possible about the Ounds and assess the situation with all the factions. If the Western powers or the Dark ns make any moves, our military needs to be prepared in advance." Luna and Valerie immediately nodded, acknowledging their orders. However, Kyrie sat there restlessly, lookingpletely out of sorts. At Abyss City, a white tide slowly advanced. Another wave of the Cathedral''s assault was about to begin. On top of the city walls, Dragonfang''s forces stood ready.


    ---- Juno said gravely, "There are two angels in their ranks, along with the Cardinal, Kass Da. This is going to be tough." Franz responded in a deep voice, "We just need to do our job. Remember, don''t get drawn into prolonged fights. Our priority is to hold the city. Andrew was right. The Cathedral''s main army can''t sustain a siege forever. If we can withstand a few more assaults, they''ll have to withdraw. We can afford a war of attrition, but they can''t." Knox gritted his teeth. "Damn it! I need to learn how to kill properly.


    Otherwise, fighting so hard for this city just to hand it back over... That''s unbearable. I won''t let it happen." From within the white tide, Lysander and Makhaylus struck first. One attacked from the air, the other from the ground. The airborne fighter was naturally Lysander, while the one on the ground was Makhaylus. Thetter was immensely strong and clearly charging straight for Abyss City''s gates. Petra snorted coldly and leaped down from the wall alongside Franz to sh with Makhaylus. Juno stayed positioned behind the gate, ready to provide backup at any moment.


    At the same time, she was also responsible formanding the city''s defending forces.
