    ---- Chapter 3048 Nyx thought for a moment and nodded. "You''re absolutely right. But we still need to ask the Marshal what he thinks." As she spoke, sheughed first and teased Andrew with a yful look. Andrew naturally knew this beauty was messing with him. " Marshal? Dragonfang Legion is just getting started, so there''s no marshal yet! At most, we''re beginning to divide ranks by military hierarchy to bettermand the troops in battle. Petra, I''m calling you in because I have an idea.


    I want you stationed in Aurora City, fully in charge of its defense and governance." Petra was shocked and stammered, "Y-You want me in charge of Aurora City? It''s such a massive city. How could I possibly be worthy of it? Plus, there are so many people here. The taxes alone, plus all the other revenue, are astronomical. If you hand all of that to me, I absolutely cannot handle it, and I do not think I have that kind of ability." He continued, "Andrew, Aurora City is extremely important. It''s basically the secondrgest city in the Wastnds.


    It''s second only to the Ludendorff family''s headquarters at Throne City. You are cing way too much faith in me. I really cannot do it." As he spoke, Petra even broke into a cold sweat and waved his ---- hands repeatedly. Nyxughed and watched the show from the side. "Petra, this really does not sound like you. In the past, you were just like Knox, never passing up a good deal. And now Andrew is handing you an enormous opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime benefit, yet you are refusing it." Petra waved his hands, speaking solemnly, "Nyx, I know my own capabilities.


    I have roamed the Wastnds before, and I''ve dreamed of aplishing great things, controlling territory, and bing a lord. What man under heaven doesn''t want that?" He added, "I used to watch the Ludendorff family''s people and the lords of major cities drive their convoys through the Wastnds in glory with no one daring to challenge them, and I envied them so much. But I also know my own limits very clearly. Power without virtue only leads to ruin.


    It would send me right back to where I started, and worse, it would destroy the Aurora City that Andrew fought so hard to im." His words were so humble yet sincere that Nyx was at a loss for words for a moment. She could only sigh and look helplessly at Andrew. Andrew smiled. "Petra, you actually have great potential. Really, you''re excellent at leading soldiers. I''ve been observing you closely." ---- Petra grinned sheepishly and scratched his head. The current Andrew seemed somewhat unreachable to him, and unconsciously, feelings of inferiority had begun to grow in his heart.


    In fact, it was not just him; even Juno felt the same way. It was just that both of them were reserved by nature and would not voice such feelings. Unlike Knox, who shouted every time he saw Andrew getting stronger, calling him insanely powerful andpletely abnormal Andrew said, "I''ll help elevate your martial arts to the next level.


    If resources are sufficient, I can even help you forcibly break through to the martial god level." These two sentences made Petra''s breathing quicken instantly." Y-You can do that?" Seeing his disbelief mixed with barely contained ecstasy, Nyxughed from the side. She said, "Petra, even if you don''t believe him, do you at least trust me? Andrew really can do it. Besides, you''re not that far from the martial god level yourself. After all these years in the Wastnds, you''ve been making constant progress.


    You were already a peak martial saint back then, and after training this long, you should be ready for a breakthrough." ---- Petra grumbled bitterly, ''It''s not that easy. Mr. Lloyd Senior told me he''d find a way back then too. But I know it''s extremely difficult. After all, not everyone is a monster like Andrew."
