Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2995 The Deadlands was a special region within the Outlands. The place had long been shrouded in black radiation clouds, and it was perpetually dark and heavy. Nothing grew on the ground. As far as the eye could see, there were only pitch black mountains on the horizon, and all around them lay deathly silence and decay. At this moment, on the vast open plains, a violent gust of wind suddenly swept across the land. Several small beasts that had come out to forage squealed and tucked their tails, scrambling back toward their nests.

Agloved hand suddenly reached out of thin air and grabbed one of the small creatures. Once it fell into the man's grasp, the creature shrieked even more sharply and struggled desperately. "it's hard to imagine that something is still alive in a place this barren. But damn, it sure is ugly." Amid the mocking laughter, the owner of the hand crushed the creature's head in one squeeze. He then casually tossed the corpse aside as if nothing had happened. "Kyrie, why did you do that?" An angry female voice suddenly rang out. "You idiot, what do ---- you gain from killing it?

It was living just fine here, and you just crushed it. Are you sick?" The Holtrien four-person team. Valerie, Luna, Kyrie, and the final member, Marco Acosta, an old general. All four traveled light and were fully concealed. They had crossed thousands of miles from Holtrien to reach the Outlands. The reason was simple: the Veiled Paradise was about to open, and the Holtrien military could not afford to sit back and do nothing.

So, Philip gave the order for the four of them to head to the Deadlands, avoid Western forces as much as possible, and rendezvous with Holtrien's overseas leader, Reginald. The situation in the Outlands was currently extremely chaotic, and the flames of war had spread far and wide. For the Holtrien military, sending more soldiers was not necessarily better. A larger force would only make them easier to expose, which would lead to casualties. Because of that, Philip only sent four people.

Among them, his prized student, Luna, and fellow major general, Valerie, had strongly requested to carry out this mission. As for why, Philip understood perfectly well, as did anyone who knew the situation. Kyrie himself had not wanted to come because he was afraid of ---- dying. However, Philip's orders could not be refused, even by the Harding family. So after several days of travel, the four had reached deep into the Outlands and would soon arrive at their final destination: the Deadlands. Luna walked at the front, her entire body wrapped in robes.

It protected against the wind and sand while also serving as camouflage. She remained indifferent to Valerie and Kyrie's argument behind her. She just kept her head down and continued walking silently. Kyrie said angrily, "Valerie, you'd better watch your tone when you talk to me. I'm not your subordinate, I'm your equal. So please don't use that condescending, lecturing tone with me!" Valerie hissed, "Idiot!" Then, she quickened her pace to walk alongside Luna and asked, "Luna, what are you thinking about?" Luna said softly, "Nothing." Valerie snorted. "You can't fool me.

You're thinking about Andrew, wondering where he is, hoping to see him, right?" Luna fell silent for a moment, which counted as her acknowledgement. Valerie suddenly deflated. "Actually, | really want to see him too. But the Outlands is so vast, and no one knows where he is or ---- how he's doing." Kyrie huffed as he stepped forward and sneered, "The Outlands is already in chaos. The people from Lomuia Grand Cathedral are sweeping through the Wastelands, and even the Ludendorff family, Kings of the Wastelands, are retreating continuously.

You two have witnessed firsthand on this journey how brutal the war between the two sides is. We've had to take detours just to avoid it." Valerie said coldly, "You're building up to something. What's your point?" kyrie replied, "I don't mean anything by it, but | think the odds are against him. Or maybe he's already fled and is hiding somewhere." This time, Valerie was not the only one losing her temper. Even Luna suddenly stopped, looking agitated and furious as she said, "Shut up!" Valerie shouted as well, "Shut up!" Both women's gazes were ice-cold and vicious as they stared at Kyrie.

It looked like they were ready to attack him at any moment.
