Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2991

With Andrew's order, Franz, Juno, Petra, and Knox immediately sprang into action, moving first to control the key positions throughout Abyss City. At the very least, they needed to ensure the garrison troops at the city gates would not rebel.

Nyx looked at Andrew and asked, "What about me?"

Andrew replied, "Head to the city gate. If anyone makes a move, kill them on the spot."

Nyx pressed urgently, "But what about you…"

Before she could finish, Andrew cut her off. "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

Nyx bit her lip and obediently went to carry out his orders.

At this moment, Andrew was cold-blooded and decisive, and even she felt somewhat awed by him. Subconsciously, she simply wanted to fulfill Andrew's commands.

Carrying Prescott, Andrew landed on the city wall. Prescott was already barely alive. If Andrew had wanted to earlier, he could have completely crushed Prescott's heart.

In that case, forget a mere martial god; even a vampire progenitor would have died on the spot. Of course, vampire progenitors possessed terrifying regenerative bloodlines, while Prescott was ultimately just a mortal. Especially now, without any need to hide, a martial god like Prescott was simply not worth the effort for Andrew to kill.

"Y-You are vicious beyond belief," Prescott said in broken gasps. Terror had completely taken hold of him. "Even if you take Abyss City, you absolutely… absolutely will not be able to hold it."

Andrew glanced at him indifferently. "If I were you, I would keep a lower profile. Do you really think it's hard for me to end your life?"

Prescott's face turned ashen as his life force drained rapidly. He hated it. He hated how Andrew had taken Abyss City so easily and toyed with both him and Garal. Yet, more than hatred, he felt fear.

Andrew was monstrously strong, and Prescott could not muster even the slightest resistance.

However, Andrew stopped her and said flatly, "I'll handle this."

He stepped up to the officer and looked him straight in the eye. "The era where the Ludendorff family ruled Abyss City is over. You either swear loyalty, or you die. Choose."

The officer sneered with open contempt. "You are strong, and I am no match for you. You can kill me, but you cannot make me submit. I'll say it again, you should know when to stop. The anger of the Ludendorff family is not something you can bear. Prince Prescott carries the blood of the Ludendorff family, and you'll eventually…"

Before he could finish. Andrew grabbed him by the throat and snapped it with a single motion.

The officer's eyes widened as he died instantly, and Andrew casually tossed the corpse aside. The remaining guards were terrified to their core. Even Nyx glanced at Andrew, not expecting him to be this cold.

"Now," Andrew said calmly, "my words carry weight, do they not?"
