Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 3389

Azrael's expression turned solemn. "Your Majesty!"

The projection before him was none other than the great emperor of the Fraines Empire, Silvio Caesar.

Silvio let out a cold snort. "I have no interest in whatever happened on your side. So you do not need to be so nervous. I contacted you for only one reason. You need to speed up the war against Holtrien. Winning or losing is not important, but there's a special individual you must investigate thoroughly."

Azrael was startled. "Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

Silvio paused for a moment, then said coldly, "The progenitor of the Dark Clans, the Vampire Queen, came to see me. Not just me. The emperors of the other two empires also received notice.

"The Vampire Queen believes that someone has awakened within Holtrien who poses a fatal threat to her. She's deeply unsettled right now. Or rather, she's afraid. She has strongly demanded that we find the person she is looking for."

Azrael was shocked. "Who could that be? Your Majesty, is there really someone in this world who can make the Vampire Queen afraid?"

Silvio's smile turned strange. "Whether such a person exists doesn't concern me. In fact, I hope they do. If Holtrien truly has someone powerful enough to kill her… That would be the best possible news for our three great Western Empires."

Azrael lowered his voice. "I'll do everything in my power."

Silvio nodded. "According to the Vampire Queen's sensing, the person she fears should be within the area under your command. Azrael, remember this. Don't underestimate Holtrien. We have clashed countless times. But we have never truly gained the upper hand. So I want you to stabilize our foundation first."

Azrael answered firmly, "I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty."

Silvio nodded again, and the projection slowly faded away.

Azrael remained where he was, deep in thought. On the Western continent, the oldest and most terrifying existence was naturally the Vampire Queen. However, only a handful of people knew that.

Even Azrael himself only knew fragments.

The recent assault had left the Three Empires' allied army shaken and demoralized.

Azrael executed several generals, and the matter was temporarily suppressed. However, the anger and hatred in his heart only grew stronger.

"Andrew Lloyd of Holtrien, come out and face me!"

A thunderous roar exploded above Cliffside Gate. Azrael stood alone before the gate in full combat armor, energy crackling around him, long spear in hand, challenging the entire fortress alone.

His plan was straightforward: cut Andrew down first, strip Holtrien of its backbone, and then launch the full offensive.
