    ---- Chapter 3129 Soon, Petyr, dressed in red robes and apanied by another man, entered the great hall of Abyss City''s lord''s mansion. "Mr. Lloyd, we''re Petyr Gillen and Fineas Dubois. It''s an honor to meet you!" The two former rulers of the City of Hope knelt respectfully. Andrew raised his hand in acknowledgment. "Please rise, both of you." Petyr stood up and finally dared to lift his head and look. Seeing Andrew seated in the main position, his expression became extremelyplex. This man''s first stop when entering the Ounds had been his City of Hope.


    Back then, Andrew had been far from powerful, and as a neer, he had not even registered in Petyr''s eyes. Yet, it had only been a short time, and Andrew had be one of the dominant powers of the Wastnds. The restrained martial aura emanating from him was something Petyr could not read or measure. He had no idea how strong Andrew truly was, but he was certain thatpared to him now, he himself was nothing more than an ant,pletely insignificant. ---- Time had not passed quickly, but people''s circumstances had changed dramatically.


    Back then, Petyr had been a noble in the City of Hope, extremely proud, but now he was a refugee seeking refuge with a young man he had never imagined would be a regional power. Bitterness appeared on his face as Petyr got on his knees again. "Please, sir, take in this humble one, along with my family and followers." Andrew looked surprised. "City of Hope is far from the center of the Wastnds war. Why would youe here to me, asking for shelter?" The bitterness deepened as Petyr replied, "I dare not hide it from you, but the City of Hope has been destroyed.


    Not just the City of Hope, but other small cities across the Wastnds have also fallen into the mes of war one after another, some destroyed, others surrendered. In short, none have been able to remain unscathed." Andrew fell silent briefly, then said, "I can provide you and your people shelter in Abyss City, but I need to see your loyalty." Petyr dered loudly, "Thank you for your tolerance and generosity, sir. I''ll fight for you and for Abyss City." Andrew waved his hand. "Alright then, you may go. Someone will ---- show you where to settle." Petyr and hispanion withdrew.


    Franz asked curiously, "Andrew, you actually know Petyr?" Andrew smiled. "I met him when I first arrived in the Ounds and passed through the City of Hope. Back then, he was City of Hope''s councilman, and we had some interactions, you could say." Othniel said coldly, "But Mr. Lloyd, he isn''t human. He''s a vampire, isn''t he?" Andrew nodded. "That''s right, he''s a vampire, but he left the Dark ns long ago and established his own territory in the Wastnds.


    I''m sheltering him because I need him to cooperate with me on something next." As he spoke, a mysterious smile appeared on Andrew''s face. The others exchanged nces,pletely baffled by Andrew''s decision, There was no way to predict his thinking, as his moves were too quick and too unexpected. However, remembering that they wouldunch a full assault tomorrow morning, Othniel, Petra, Juno, Franz, and the others all felt their blood gradually beginning to boil with excitement.


    The era of the Ludendorff family''s rule over the Wastnds was finally about to end, though no one knew whether it would ---- ultimately end at their hands. Everyone wanted to witness this momentous asion.
