---- Chapter 3141 Petra''s battle armor was badly warped, and several sections had folded inward and shattered. His expression was grim as he strode toward Andrew and said, "We were just one step away from breaking through the southem gate defenses. Retreating now feels like a waste, and everyone who died up there will have died for nothing." Andrew held his greatsword, the tip nted in the ground, and replied calmly, "You did well, but I''m fully aware of the situation. Petra, you need to understand that our ultimate goal is to take over Throne Citypletely.


    That means the Ludendorff family needs to be wiped out as much as possible, or at least worn downpletely. "Sure, you could storm Throne City with heavy casualties. But let me ask you this: if we push the Ludendorff family into a corner and they fight us to the death, what happens then? In the end, they''re destroyed, but we''re left with hardly any troops and countless casualties. So tell me, how are we supposed to hold Throne City afterward?" Petra froze. Then, he said quietly, "I understand. From now on, we will follow your n!" Andrew nodded. "Go reorganize your men.


    In the next assault, your troops will be in the rear while our Hignd Tribe friends ---- lead the charge." Nyx stepped forward, gritting her teeth. "Arya hasn''t seen thest of me! Honey, how are you feeling?" Seeing she was on the verge of tears, Andrew smiled. "Don''t worry. I''m still breathing. Nyx, we''re just one step away from living freely in the Wastnds, without a care in the world. No faction will be able to threaten us again!" Juno rushed over, speaking rapidly. "You were right on the money!


    Ramon, that breakaway warlord from the Ludendorff family, really was nning to hit us from behind! "But the Hignd Tribe warriors did not move a single soldier. They stayed on full alert the entire time. Back at Abyss City, Chief Wieser and his men never let their guard down either, and didn''t give him an opening. So after Ramon scouted us out with his men, he withdrew." Andrew sneered. "The Ludendorff family looks isted and helpless on the surface, but no one knows if Alonzo and Ramon are secretly working together or not, putting on a show for everyone else.


    Imagine if everyone assumes Ramon''s no threat and focuses all their firepower on Throne City... Then, he attacks from behind while Throne City strikes from the front. That would be a disaster." Juno beamed. "You called it again. Ramon didn''t try to seize ---- Aurora City. Ramon, who''s been stirring up talk of secession, must''ve had a change of heart or something. After seeing no opportunity on our side, he led his men straight toward the north gate of Throne City.


    It looks like he''s nning to nk The Coven of Heavenly Radiance from behind." Andrew said coldly, "War is a dirty game, and we''re all unavoidably bing filthy yers. Vance and his Coven are finished. He was extremely cautious, thought everything through, and even hid a trump card. But in the end, he still lost this game." Nyx said coldly, "In the end, Vance was still stupid. He schemed to gain the most benefits from this decisive battle. He nned toe out and pick up the leftovers after we exhausted the Ludendorff family''s strength.


    Now he came out to pick up scraps and realized it was not that easy. Instead, he got nked from behind. He thought he was the hunter, but he ended up bing the prey. Ironic, isn''t it?" Andrew said calmly, "Vance isn''t stupid. This war began when the Cathedral''s army descended on the Wastnds and has dragged on ever since. Too many people, too many factions have been wiped out. "The Cathedral was smart enough, wasn''t it? The Dark ns were even more cunning, right? But in the end, there were no winners, only losers.


    If I weren''t forced into this corner, I would ---- never have wanted to do things this way." Nyx spoke up. "Honey, you seem kind of down." Andrew forced a smile. "Not really down, I just think fighting to the death like this is pointless. But when you''re in the game, you have no choice but to y." With a sigh, he added, "All right, everyone, rest here and wait for orders. In the next round of attack, we will take over Throne City. And while we''re at it, we''ll wipe out the Ludendorff family along with Vance''s Coven of Heavenly Radiance!"
