Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 3043

With a furious roar, Ramon's entire face twisted in rage. The people who appeared on the wall were Petra, Juno, and the one Ramon feared most: Nyx.

He clearly remembered they had left Abyss City to ambush the Cathedral's forces.

Realization struck him like a bolt of lightning, and he instantly understood what had happened. The Ludendorff family had coordinated with him to play a diversionary tactic and ambush Abyss City. In turn, the enemy had played their own diversion and ambushed Aurora City instead.

It was a trap within a trap!

They had set up a chain of schemes against him and the Ludendorff family. While he was fighting desperately at Abyss City, Nyx led Dragonfang's two top commanders, along with most of Abyss City's elite forces, and seized Aurora City.

Nyx was a martial god level fighter. Combined with her exceptional speed and assassination skills, she must have slaughtered all the top fighters in Aurora City. Then, she opened the gates and let Dragonfang's people take control of Aurora City without any resistance.

The whole operation was effortless, all because Ramon, Aurora City's core and strongest fighter, was not home. It was like handing the city over to them on a silver platter.

After piecing together the entire sequence of events, Ramon's face flushed bright red, and unable to accept such an outcome, he threw his head back and spat out a massive mouthful of blood.

His subordinate exclaimed in alarm. "Sir, you…"

Ramon ignored him completely, swinging his hand violently toward Aurora City and howling in a twisted rage. "Attack! Attack at all costs! Even if we're blown to pieces, we're taking Aurora City back! Everyone, attack!"

His usual authority carried such weight that his men, hearing this roar, steeled themselves and prepared to charge Aurora City's gates.

Ramon's body shook violently as he let out a wail and spat another huge mouthful of blood. "No! I won't accept this humiliation and defeat. Andrew, you bastard… I'll tear you apart! Today, even if I'm blown to pieces, I'm taking you down with me!"

With a crazed roar, Ramon shot into the air, attempting to force his way into Aurora City.

However, Nyx appeared like a phantom. Her twin daggers crossed in a deadly arc, sparks exploding as Ramon's heavy armor was ripped open.

He raged in fury, yet there was nothing he could do. At this critical moment, trying to get past Nyx and take control of Aurora City was nothing but a pipe dream.

Not even a miracle could make it happen.
