Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 3403

Under the cover of the night, Shiloh walked alone toward the distant horizon. Before long, a rumbling sound rose behind her.

She frowned at first, then relaxed and let out a helpless sigh. "I really can't stand that guy. But fine, come along! If anything happens to you, I'd worry too."

Her words were full of concern, yet only she heard them.

…

This expedition was destined to be filled with danger at every turn. The first challenge was crossing the vast Outlands.

But now, the Outlands belonged to Andrew. It could be said that he was the uncrowned king there, the absolute ruler of the Wastelands.

Therefore, their first stop was Throne City in the Outlands.

Andrew led the 1500 elite warriors and arrived there ahead of the others.

He said, "We'll rest in Throne City for one day and depart tomorrow morning. Here, we'll formulate our battle strategy. In this fight, everyone must give their all!"

When Holtrien's top warriors entered Throne City, they were deeply shocked by the prosperity and grandeur before their eyes. However, what surprised them even more was Andrew's status here.

He was actually the sole ruler of this lawless land!

That was Andrew's influence and authority.

Andrew ignored the old man's teasing envy and asked instead, "Where are the other two old geezers from the Divine Dragon Order? Besides you, what about Lachlan Pavone and Pietro Fabbri? Those two old farts aren't playing dead, are they?"

"But you never knew the reasoning behind it. Originally, Reginald was the final leader of the Divine Dragon Order. His mission was to oversee regions outside Holtrien. So he had no choice but to leave."

"If I'm unhappy, the entire Outlands can mobilize a million troops and go head-to-head with any power in the world, even entire nations. Even Lomuia Grand Cathedral, the three great empires, and the Dark Trinity. Right now, I would dare to confront them openly."

He continued, "So what about Holtrien? And what about the Divine Dragon Order? If you make me unhappy, then the Divine Dragon Order won't have an easy time either."
