Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2984

After a dense exchange of artillery fire, the brutal siege officially began.

The Cathedral's white-clad army, elite among elites, launched a ferocious assault on Abyss City's main gate.

At the rear, Kass was nowhere to be seen. However, two of the 12 Angels of the Cathedral were clearly hidden within the ranks. This sent a clear signal that, among the top-tier powers sent to suppress the Outlands, Kass and Mephiston were not the only ones.

On the towering walls of Abyss City, Garal withdrew his gaze. He then turned toward Prescott, his face dark with anger.

He growled, "You've made me very angry, you know that?"

Prescott gritted his teeth, "I didn't expect that damn Andrew would provoke the Cathedral's entire army either. Originally, I just wanted to force him out of the city to clear the vanguard and conveniently let him die on the battlefield. But who would've thought he'd be so lucky and have such audacity?"

Garal waved his hand, saying dismissively, "Forget it. This battle was coming sooner or later anyway. As long as Kass doesn't make a move, Abyss City will be fine. If he does intervene, then I have no choice but to face him head-on. When that happens, the responsibility of defending the city will fall to you."

Prescott snorted. "Don't worry, Uncle Garal. Your concerns are completely unnecessary. With me here assisting you, unless Mephiston himself takes action, the Cathedral won't lay a finger on Abyss City."

Garal nodded slowly, "In theory, you're right. At least we have two martial gods and won't fear Kass alone. Moreover, this is our home turf. But in all things, we must fear unexpected complications."

Prescott sneered. "The advantage is ours, no matter how you look at it. Besides, I haven't even deployed Dragonfang's people yet. Soon, I'll order them to hold the front line. If they can't manage it, then I'm sorry, but don't blame me for being ruthless."

Garal neither agreed nor objected, effectively giving silent consent. Although he found Prescott's fixation on Nyx distasteful and beneath the dignity of the Ludendorff heir, he fully supported using Dragonfang as expendable shields for Abyss City.

The fighting at the city gate was the most brutal of all since the Cathedral focused its main assault directly on that point. Prescott's order clearly forced Dragonfang to bear the heaviest burden for Abyss City.

Because of this, Andrew immediately went up to the wall to confront Prescott.

Andrew said coldly, "I don't think Dragonfang should be stationed at the city gate. The city gate already has Abyss City troops, and Dragonfang would be more effective elsewhere."

Prescott replied calmly, "Andrew, let me give you another Holtrien saying: when you live under someone else's roof, you follow their rules. I'm the one in charge of Abyss City, not you. So Dragonfang will obey orders."

Andrew said coldly, "You are deliberately sending Dragonfang to their deaths, aren't you?"
