    ---- Chapter 3054 In Kass''mand tent, Andrew and Nyx arrived together, and Kass received them withposed courtesy. "Archbishop, we apologize for the sudden visit," Andrew said with a cheerful smile. Kass sat calmly with a faint smile. "You''re a young hero. There''s no need for such formalities. Right now in the Wastnds, there are only three major powers. And you control one of them, so I certainly don''t consider this abrupt at all." Andrew thought to himself that having territory and absolute power was indeed the way to go. On the surface, however, he waved his hand dismissively.


    "Youre ttering me. I only managed to take Abyss City and Aurora City because the Cathedral''s army was there to keep them in check from the side. How should I put it... Well, I just took advantage of the opportunity." Kass shook his head. "You can''t put it that way. Not just anyone can seize opportunities in the Wastnds. Besides, whether you were opportunistic or not, I would not darement on it so easily." With those words, he looked at Andrew with significant meaning. ---- Andrew had shed head-on with Kass and the Cathedral more than once before.


    Yet at this moment, the two of them appeared to be having a pleasant conversation on the surface. The subtle atmosphere between them was quite intriguing. To put it bluntly, Kass did not dare underestimate Andrew. Whether it was Andrew''s personal strength or the fact that, Dragonfang now upied two major cities, they held a pivotal position in the Wastnds and could influence the decisive battle between the Cathedral and the Ludendorff family at any moment.


    Therefore, Kass wisely chose not to dredge up old grievances or hold Andrew ountable for his previous attacks on the Cathedral forces. And as for Andrew showing up all smiles, taking the initiative to visit, Kass had a pretty good idea of what he was up to. After clearing his throat, Andrew got straight to the point." Archbishop, I won''t beat around the bush. I''m sure you''ve already figured out why I''m here. The Ludendorff family is now holed up ina single city, facing their twilight days.


    I believe we can join forces to destroy Throne City and end this inhumane family''s reign once and for all." Kass smiled. "My friend, you have quite an appetite." Andrew returned the smile. "Compared to the Cathedral''s ---- appetite, mine is nothing. Besides, I''m not doing this for personal gain. I simply can''t stand watching the Ludendorff family continue enving the Ounds, leaving countless. people homeless and turning them into nothing but bones in the dirt "Come to think of it, Archbishop, my good intentions align with the Cathedral''s doctrine, don''t they?


    Isn''t your Cathedral waging war in the Wastnds to save the suffering masses here?" Kass snorted coldly, neither confirming nor denying it. Saving the suffering masses was natural, of course. However, the Cathedral was not some benevolent savior; seizing control of ''the Ounds was the real prize. Andrew deliberately dressed his words in lofty ideals, subtly mocking the Cathedral in the process. Kass found the brat audacious beyond belief. Yet, there was nothing he could do about it. Andrew''sbat power and the skills to back up his boldness.


    After a moment of contemtion, Kass said, "Taking down Throne City is inevitable for the Cathedral. But right now, the Vindicators can''t spare any forces. As you''ve seen, the werewolf army and the vampire forces that are about to arrive will soon be engaging with us. We''re under considerable pressure at the moment." ---- Andrew smiled slightly. "Yes, the Cathedral is indeed under some pressure. But Lomuia wouldn''t let His Holiness the Pope allow that pressure to continue mounting, would they?


    His Excellency Mephiston isn''t here anymore, so reinforcements should being to support you, Archbishop. For instance, a few angels with unmatchedbat prowess." Kass'' eyes narrowed as he stared at Andrew. This man had an incredibly sharp mind. The Cathedral had indeed already dispatched angels, and not just any angel, but the Great Angel herself, the Battle Angel who led the 12 Angels, personally descending to the Ounds. Yet, how did Andrew know about this? No, that would be impossible. Andrew did not know it was Aryaing.


    However, he knew that the Cathedral would definitely send powerful personnel as reinforcements. "That''s correct. The Cathedral will indeed have reinforcements arriving shortly."
