    ---- Chapter 3127 News spread that Abyss City was about tounch the final offensive against the Ludendorff family. No one knew how it leaked, yet it spread like wildfire across the Wastnds. In an instant, reactions erupted from every faction. They varied greatly, but without exception, none of them were willing to sit back and let Andrew seed. Someone remarked, "Throne City belongs to the Dark ns. Andrew of Abyss City is just dreaming." "The Ludendorff family is already a dying me, barely holding on.


    Raiden is trapped in the Veiled Paradise and probably never imagined that his family''s rule over the Wastnds would end like this. How ironic." Another chimed in, "Andrew is sly and treacherous. Trust him, and you are finished. His talk of attacking is nothing but bluffing No matter how you look at it, it is deliberate smoke meant to deceive." "Whether it is smoke or not does not matter. That kid has an enormous appetite, and we are no less hungry." Aman said, "We have all been eyeing the Ludendorff stronghold, waiting to tear it apart.


    He wants Throne City, but we want it ---- even more!" In just a single day, every major force in the Wastnds began to stir. Whether they nned to strike first and attack Throne City or had other purposes, all sides were gearing up and ready for war at any moment. After all, only by staying prepared could they respond to any sudden developments. In Abyss City, Andrew listened quietly to the intelligence that Juno had personally gathered, and Nyx had also brought back plenty of information. With Andrew''s help, Juno was now only a step away from breaking through to the martial god level.


    Petra was much the same and should be able to attempt to break through to the martial god level within the next few days. The core members of Dragonfang numbered only a few. Each of them had been handpicked by Reginald and left to Andrew. Every one of them was full of potential, with not a single weak link. For them, reaching the martial god level was only a matter of time once the opportunity appeared. And that opportunity had arrived through Andrew''s support.


    ---- If they had relied solely on natural progress, Petra and Juno would have needed at least three more years to reach that level, even under optimistic assumptions. Knox had his own fortunate encounters and was now second only to Nyx among Dragonfang''s experts. Though naturally, this ranking did not include Andrew himself. From a mediocre martial god to a powerhouse awakened with the Arcturus bloodline, Knox now walked with his back straight and his head high. Franz was getting on in years, and his martial arts had hit a bottleneck.


    Reginald had quietly mentioned this to Andrew before, and once matters in the Wastnds were settled, Andrew would take Franz back to Holtrien. The old military intelligence agent had wandered for decades and deserved to retire and enjoy peace. Nyx said, "Aurora City has brought in arge number of troops. Vance really did keep something in reserve. Just by the numbers alone, there are over ten thousand soldiers. It looks like he had ambitions for dominance long ago and prepared thoroughly." Andrew replied calmly, "That is nothing surprising.


    When ites to strategy, we Easterners have always had an edge over the Westerners." ---- Nyx pouted slightly and said, "Are you indirectly saying we are the stupid ones?"
