Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2932

Reginald explained, "Lomuia Grand Cathedral is going to war with the Dark Clans. It's an unavoidable conflict that has been brewing for centuries. Holy Light magic and beings like vampires, werewolves, and sirens could not coexist, so only one side could remain. But none of that had anything to do with us."

He continued, "Viktor is one of the few rational members of the werewolf faction. Kaelen and Viktor, though both werewolves, have been locked in a deadly rivalry. Viktor hopes to use Dragonfang's power to defeat Kaelen, potentially destroying him entirely. In exchange, Viktor would use his position as the werewolf's new leader to become Dragonfang's permanent overseas ally."

Knox's eyes lit up. "That's great! A werewolf clan leader's support carries significant weight. At least we'd have a powerful ally in the Outlands now."

"I hate the werewolf clan. They're as treacherous as vampires and completely untrustworthy," Nyx interjected.

A heavy silence fell over the group.

Everyone knew Nyx's history with the werewolves, her past trauma explaining her deep-seated hatred.

Andrew quickly added his support, "I agree with Nyx. The werewolf clan cannot be trusted."

Reginald responded with a knowing smile, "We're not trusting them. We're simply collaborating. Sometimes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend."

Andrew still shook his head and said, "Even so, I do not think we should treat werewolves as allies. At the very least, Dragonfang still had several other paths to choose from. For example, we could switch sides and align with Lomuia Grand Cathedral."

Reginald swept his gaze across the room and finally nodded as he said, "Andrew's idea was actually the same as mine. Nyx, do not worry. I would rather start a full-scale war than ever cooperate with the werewolves. Your feelings are the first thing I have to consider."

Nyx pressed her lips together and turned her head away. For some reason, Andrew felt like he saw her looking as if she was about to cry, moved by Reginald's words.

Reginald continued, "There is one more thing. Franz, the Holtrien military has sent us a message. Andrew, you should hear this, too."

Andrew immediately straightened, giving his full attention.
