---- Chapter 3358 Just as the five streams of power were about to m into Andrew, he gripped his sword with both hands and swept it outward in a wide arc. A ck-and-crimson de of light, stretching hundreds of yards, roared across the sky as if he had grabbed an entire mountain and swung it like a wrecking ball. The sheer violence and domineering pressure of the move left everyone staring in stunned silence.
Andrew''s de not only erased thebined attack of the five martial gods in an instant, but it also countered like a high- energy shockwave cutting through everything in its path. After two piercing screams, two martial gods from the three empires exploded midair. The remaining three felt their souls leave their bodies as they spun around and fled for their lives, abandoning both their troops and their allies without hesitation They bolted back the way they hade, their faces filled with terror as if they had just seen the devil himself.
Taking advantage of one enemy martial god frozen in shock, Nyx shed her dagger across his throat and left a burst of shimmering light in her wake. Her graceful figure streaked ---- forward more than 100 yards as she caught up to another enemy martial god who had already been frightened out of his wits by Andrew, She drove him into repeated desperate defenses, pushing him to the brink of death again and again. After a brief moment of shock, Atticus broke into wild joy and gave a direct order. "Cavendish royal family forces, full counterattack!
Kill them!" The army that had been pinned down moments ago was fired up and began striking back with full force. By Andrew''s hand alone, three martial gods had already fallen in this battle. Martial gods were not expendable foot soldiers, and each one was a pir of power. Nyx had also taken down one. Out of the enemy''s original 12 martial gods, only eight remained Of those eight, three were already seriously wounded. Without speaking, they began retreating one after another.
Every single one of them deliberately fled in the opposite direction of Andrew, pushing themselves to the limit to escape. With morale surging, Asher and the others gave chase. In the ---- end, working together with Nyx, they killed another enemy martial god. From themand center of the three allied empires, the order to withdraw rang out. Like a receding tide, the massive army pulled back at once. The first wave of the offensive copsed before it could fully take shape.
Andrew slowly descended back onto the city wall, his face calm and his breathing steady, Atticus walked over and gave a deep salute. "Mr. Lloyd, whether you fought for Holtrien or for the Cavendish royal family, I''m deeply grateful." Andrew waved his hand with a smile and said, "Patriarch Atticus, I already said that right now we stand together against amon enemy. When ites down to it, we are all citizens of Holtrien, so there is no need for such formality." Atticus shook his head solemnly. "No, I have to say this. The Cavendish family misjudged you, and that''s on us.
What you did today saved the lives of at least 1000 of our soldiers. That''s not something I can just brush past." Jakob, Asher, and the others returned one after another. Each of them woreplicated expressions. ---- The elderly martial god of the Cavendish royal family, Frederick Cavendish, who had previously red at Andrew with open hostility, now walked over with sincere respect. "Mr. Lloyd, I was rude before. Please forgive me." Andrew smiled and said, "Mr. Frederick, a man your age still fighting like that on the front line.
That''s genuinely something to respect." Frederick''s face flushed red. He had nearly died on the battlefield, and if not for Nyx saving him, he would not have made it back alive. Now hearing Andrew praise him for fighting well, even Frederick felt he did not deserve it. Compared to Andrew, who had cut down enemy martial gods and faced five alone, forcing them to flee in terror, Frederick felt that even if he rode a rocket, he could never catch up to that level of strength. Jakob, however, felt a storm of emotions in his heart.
Watching Andrew win the respect of the Cavendish royal family so easily, while he himself had schemed for so long without even receiving a word of thanks or praise, was almost unbearable. Some people, he thought bitterly, just made everyone else look invisible without even trying.
