Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3075

Even with deep grudges between them in the past, when life and death were on the line, Andrew believed the others understood what truly mattered. However, after thinking it through, he dismissed the idea of working with the Dark Clans.

At the very least, there was no way he could ever join forces with Kaelan because of Nyx's situation. Moreover, Kaelan had been eyeing him like prey all along.

With that reality in mind, there was only one path left. He would deal with what was right in front of him and expand the Dragonfang Legion until it was powerful enough to threaten the entire Wastelands.

Petra had already led all the warriors of Abyss City and swept through nearly every place in the Wastelands worth raiding. As a result, Abyss City was now more than well supplied. In terms of accumulated resources alone, it was comparable to the Ludendorff family's Throne City.

Plundering really was the fastest way to accumulate wealth and capital. Even so, this method was undeniably brutal.

Nonetheless, Andrew was no saint, nor was he naive. The Outlands were already a complete mess. Only overwhelming force and ruthless action could wipe everything clean and bring real peace back to this land.

"Petra, how many proper soldiers does our Dragonfang Legion have right now?" Andrew asked solemnly inside the City Lord's Mansion.

The roof that Arya had blasted open was still a gaping hole, and Andrew had not bothered to repair it. Franz could not stand the sight, saying that Andrew was now a true overlord, and this looked completely inappropriate. So, he had people climb up and fix it.

Petra answered, "Our warriors are made up of three parts. First, the original soldiers from Abyss City. Second, the prisoners from Aurora City, whom I've incorporated into our ranks after their capture. Third and finally, warriors from the Wastelands and mercenaries who've come to join Dragonfang of their own accord."

He paused, then added, "Altogether, we have nearly 9000 men!"

Juno chuckled coldly. "Then what is the point of saying it? Among all of us in Dragonfang, you have it the easiest. If talking without doing was enough, then everyone would be a peerless expert."

Knox's face flushed red as he snapped, a rare anger in his voice. "Juno, I know you have always looked down on me and think I am dead weight. But I'm worried about everyone's safety, and I'm worried about Dragonfang's future.

"Especially just now, when the Cathedral's Battle Angel suddenly descended on Abyss City. Damn it, the moment I saw that bitch show up and start provoking Dragonfang, I wanted her dead."

Juno snorted and turned his head away, saying nothing.
