---- Chapter 3344. To the east of Holtrien stood Azure Gate. A brutal battle had erupted right in front of the pass as the Dark ns'' army attacked with a ferocity never seen before. As the overallmander, Philip had no choice but to personally step onto the battlefield. Deep within the Dark ns'' encampment, two figures watched from the shadows. One was Andrew''s old enemy, Ragnar, the werewolf progenitor. The other was Jorge, the vampire progenitor. Both progenitors had personally arrived at the battlefield.
Yet neither dared to unleash their full power because the most ancient being of the Dark ns, the Vampire Queen, had awakened. She could descend onto the battlefield at any moment, and even the two progenitors felt a faint unease in their hearts. "The Queen was never interested in mortal war. But this time, she suddenly ordered an attack on Holtrien. It seems she intends to settle the grudge from 1000 years ago," Jorge said in his hoarse voice. Ragnar snorted coldly. "The Vampire Queen is the supreme ruler ---- of your bloodline.
1000 years ago, she was killed by Eastern martial artists and fell into slumber. Now that she''s awakened and wants revenge, why drag us werewolves into it?" Jorge replied tly, "Why don''t you go ask Her Majesty yourself?" Ragnar, usually savage and fearless, instantly fell silent, and a trace of caution shed in his eyes. "Jorge, the feud between our Western races and Holtrien hassted for 1000 years. Since it has alreadye this far, we might as well fight to the end and wipe them outpletely." After a moment of silence, Ragnar''s tone turned ruthless.
"Too many brilliant talents have risen in Holtrien. First there was Reginald, and now his son Andrew. We''ve both fought him. We must kill him." Jorge''s expression darkened. "I''ve had my eye on Andrew this whole time. The moment he shows his face on this battlefield, rILkill him myself." Ragnar said, "The disciples of the Eight Ancient Sects of Holtrien have already entered the battlefield one after another. Good. Once they''re all here, we''ll wipe them out together. We''llpletely end the bloodline of Holtrien''s ancient sects.
From then on, no Eastern martial artist will ever stand against the Dark ns again. And this feud that has spanned thousands of years will finally be erased." ---- The forces attacking Azure Gate were primarily werewolves, vampires, and the sirens. Aside from Marcato, however, none of the sirens'' top fighters were qualified to stand alongside Jorge and Ragnar. Hence, no one came to discuss strategy with the two progenitors. They simply obeyed orders and charged forward as expendable troops.
On another front, the armies of the three great Western Empires were lined up across the battlefield, waiting for the right moment to strike. Holtrien had grown stronger year by year and had already be a threat to them. Even if they could not secure ultimate victory in this sudden war, they still intended to weaken Holtrien''s national strength by at least 30 years. The country had developed too quickly, producing powerful figures one after another. It was time for a reset. When Andrew and his group finally reached Azure Gate, the scene that greeted them was brutal.
The fighting was still raging, and it was uglier than anything they had expected. Andrew did not waste a second. He ordered the Harmony Sect disciples to rush forward and reinforce the front lines immediately. As for himself, he did not make a move. ---- At Andrew''s level, once he acted, his target had to be a key strategic figure. Otherwise, there was no point. "Are all of the Eight Ancient Sects here?" Andrew asked Franz. Franz replied, "Madam Ashford of Rainveil Sect has arrived. The Umbral Peak Sect, the Divine Alchemists, Harmony Sect, and Thunder Sect are all here as well.
The remaining three are still on the way. Mount Lourneau has the most disciples and the longest distance to travel. Only Sword Sect, Alfredo''s side, is still observing and hasn''tmitted yet."
