Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3394

Azure Gate welcomed a figure of immense importance.

"Elio, after all these years, it still takes a crucial moment like this to finally see the leader of the Divine Dragon Order in person," Philip said, along with Jeffery from the Hearst royal family, personally receiving him.

Besides them, the sect masters of the Eight Ancient Sects also had to make an appearance.

Monty, Bridget, Rupert, and Luther were there. Alfredo, the head of Swordhaven Keep, and Dorothy were also in attendance.

As for Julius, the sect master of the Divine Alchemists, he had already been slain by Andrew and had fallen from grace within Holtrien's Eight Ancient Sects, with hardly anyone caring anymore.

Beyond them, there was also a special figure: Orson, the patriarch of the Nieves family from Holtrien's Sylvan Peaks.

Add to that the heads of Holtrien's four noble houses and the patriarchs of the two royal families.

In short, the arrival of Elio, one of the three supreme leaders of the Divine Dragon Order, had stirred everyone of status at Azure Gate.

Elio's expression was stern, making him look like a wizened old man. Nonetheless, in Holtrien, especially within Holtrien's military, he was a godlike figure.

Setting aside his identity as one of the three supreme leaders of the Divine Dragon Order, Elio's transcendent strength as a Beyond Mortal alone established him as a towering pillar of Holtrien.

"Everyone, I'll make this brief," Elio said bluntly as soon as he arrived. "This war has reached a turning point. Because of Andrew and the Cavendish royal family's great skirmish against the Three Empires' allied forces in the northeast, the entire war situation has taken a sharp turn. Therefore, Holtrien's strategic direction must be re-planned and redefined."

Sheena chimed in, "Mr. Anderson, since the controllers of the western continent's darkness and the Three Empires are all gathering at the Vampire Queen's lair, why don't we take the initiative and wage a decisive battle at the Blood Sanctum?"

Philip shook his head. "But to attack the Blood Sanctum, we'd have to cross the Outlands. With such a long journey, how long would it take our army to arrive?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
