Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3246

Philip, who had just left the Cunningham residence, sensed the violent fluctuations of battle not far ahead, and his expression changed instantly as he cursed out loud.

"Damn it. People from the Hearst family actually showed up at a time like this."

He had overlooked it and should have thought of this earlier.

Gritting his teeth, Philip immediately placed an encrypted call. "Wendell, the person you value has already been targeted by the Hearstlands. If I really have no choice, I'll step in directly. The Hearst royal family has never truly been on our side anyway, so we might as well go all the way and let Pablo die in Chetvine."

A low, hoarse voice came from the other end. "Philip, don't act recklessly. The Hearst family's strength goes far beyond a single Pablo. 5000 years of foundation is not something you should underestimate. Pablo is not a despicable man, and he would not ambush Andrew. I suggest you observe for now."

Philip's face darkened completely. "Observe? I can't believe you're suggesting that. Pablo currently leads the Hearst royal family, and even he is making a move against Andrew. What does that mean? The Hearstlands has lost all sense of dignity and restraint. At this point, we don't need to play nice either. I suggest we tear off all pretenses."

Wendell Beaumont said in a deep voice, "No. The final layout of the Divine Dragon Order is about to be completed. If you act now, you'll only ruin everything."

Philip roared, "Then what if something happens to Andrew? All sides are lining up against him one after another. Even Reginald did not face this kind of pressure back then. You people in the Divine Dragon Order owe Andrew far too much, and I don't need to spell that out.

"Wendell, you want Andrew to one day take over the authority of the Divine Dragon Order and guard Holtrien from the shadows. You can't be so cold and heartless now, or you will only make this kid lose faith in your organization entirely."

Wendell fell silent. After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and hissed, "Then prepare to move. If it truly comes to it, kill Pablo. I'll immediately contact the Shatterer and the Predator, and have them lead people to the Hearstlands. If the Hearst family riots, then before the war between the two continents even begins, we will deal with our internal threat first."

Philip said grimly, "That is exactly what I want to see. All these years, I've taken a conservative stance toward Andrew. I was afraid of pushing him too far, leaving him no room to retreat. But now, every faction has already played its last card.

At the same time, a message was sent back to the military headquarters. It contained only three words.

[Prepare for war.]

At once, on the military side, more than a dozen generals received the message. Without saying a word, they began mobilizing their forces.

The total number of these soldiers was not large, only about 500. However, every single one of them was an elite among elites. Even though these men were at least in their 70s, their eyes still gleamed sharply. Moreover, they lifted their hundred-pound war blades with ease. Any one of the 500 warriors possessed combat power close to a martial emperor.

The Iron Cavalry, the elite unit that once dominated the dark world and contended with nations for Holtrien, had returned once more.
