Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3401

Outside Azure Gate, the sky gradually darkened. In the distance, heavy black clouds rolled across the horizon, thick and suffocating.

Shiloh's eyes snapped open from meditation. She said, "I have to go! This journey will take me deep into the darkness, straight to the Dark Clans' stronghold!"

…

On top of Azure Gate, night fell fast, and the cold wind cut like knives. Philip stood before the gathered powerhouses from every faction, his voice low and thunderous.

"Anyone willing to join the expedition, step across the white line."

A white line had been drawn on the ground, and on one side of the line stood warriors from all factions, packed together.

On the other side, only one person stood: Andrew.

He had positioned himself there early on, needing no one's rallying cry. For Shiloh's sake alone, Andrew would march into the Blood Sanctum. Beyond that, it was something he had to do anyway.

First, for Holtrien, his homeland, for the people he wanted to protect, and for his son.

Second, for the honor of the Lloyd family ancestor, Valerius. He still had not forgotten Valerius' legacy, which he had obtained in the Outlands.

Third, the Vampire Queen had awakened this time and rallied forces globally to besiege Holtrien.

Besides resisting with everything they had and eliminating the enemy, Andrew had no other choice. Moreover, after this expedition, he would have to personally open the path to the Veiled Paradise.

The road ahead was fraught with difficulties, and he had no choice but to take action.

Elio was the first to set an example, crossing the white line. He declared, "Even if I'm torn to pieces on this journey, I have no regrets fighting for Holtrien, for my homeland!"

With a hearty laugh, Pablo, patriarch of the Hearst royal family, led his clansmen across the white line with an air of nonchalance, standing beside Elio.

He said, "Elio, we're one people, united against the common foe."

Elio smiled. "Patriarch Pablo, I truly admire your courage!"

Besides Pablo, the Hearst family also brought Nate, the martial god who had once been defeated by Andrew and looked like a down-on-his-luck scholar.

He bowed slightly to Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, we meet again!"

Andrew smiled. "It's good to see you!"
