Chapter 231 

A series of sincere and resolute voices echoed throughout the underground prison. 

Instantly, those high–ranking officials who had previously agreed with Emperor Grant’s order to have Jedidiah execute Raven were all shocked into silence. 

Raven glanced calmly at the crowd whose faces were now filled with sincerity, but she said nothing.

Then, she slightly tilted her head and looked toward Emperor Grant, her expression so neutral that no emotions could be discerned. 

At that moment, Emperor Grant wasn’t looking at Raven. 

He was staring at the high–ranking military officers kneeling on one knee, his expression growing more and more complicated. 

After all, he had just announced in front of everyone that Jedidiah would execute Raven. 

If he now ordered her to return to the battlefield beyond the border, that would only embarrass himself. 

Besides, even now, he still didn’t believe that Raven’s return to the front lines would instantly turn the tide of battle. He believed even less that she could rescue Benson. 

After all, Raven was just a girl below twenty years old. No matter how talented she was, how powerful could she really be? 

Not to mention the fifty powerful Starbornes of the Sunset Empire, she probably wouldn’t even be able to survive a single move from Jedidiah. 

Just as Emperor Grant’s brows furrowed tighter, a cold laugh suddenly came from Jedidiah’s mouth. 

He said, “You want her to return to the battlefield? Shouldn’t you ask for my opinion first?” 

That simple sentence from Jedidiah made everyone’s hearts simultaneously clench. 

Because the war beyond the border was so urgent, they had deliberately ignored the fact that Jedidiah, who had already reached the level of Chariot, and the seven Starbornes at his side, intended to kill Raven. 

Upon hearing him speak, many of those present couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair. 

In their eyes, Raven was the only hope to turn the tide of the border war. 

If she were truly killed by Jedidiah, Vyrdenia might fall into an unprecedented crisis! 

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Jedidiah revealed a sneer full of disdain. 

To think he had made such thorough preparations before entering Vyrdenia, even bringing along eight Starbornes. 

Now it seemed that this so–called number one nation in the world was nothing more than trash! 

Lorne saw the look on Jedidiah’s face, and the aura around him grew colder and colder. 

Suddenly, he stepped forward and said to Emperor Grant in a cold voice, “Your Majesty, the blade that the royal family has hidden for years. It’s time to draw it!” 

All the high–ranking officials of Vyrdenia were stunned upon hearing Lorne’s words. 

Then, as if they suddenly understood something, a trace of hope appeared on their faces.

Next, Corey looked at Emperor Grant with a solemn expression and pleaded, “I respectfully beg Your Majesty to unleash the Draco Guard to fight against the enemy and protect Vyrdenia!” 

“Your subordinate begs Your Majesty to unleash the Draco Guard!” 

“We beg Your Majesty to unleash the Draco Guard!” 

Jedidiah was momentarily stunned upon hearing their words. 

He had once come across classified information about the Draco Guard while stealing documents from the Vyrdenia during his time in the Sunset Empire. 

That document described the Draco Guard as a force made up of at least five Chariots and over twenty high–level Starbornes. They were experts in concealment and always stayed close to the ruler of Vyrdenia to protect them. 

However, the document also mentioned that the Draco Guard was the greatest and final trump card of the Vyrdenia royal family. They were never to be used unless the nation was on the brink of destruction. 

At the time, he dismissed it as a bluff meant to intimidate other countries. After all, everyone knew that Vyrdenia had no more than three Chariots and fewer than ten Starbornes. They shouldn’t have five Chariots and twenty Starbornes. 

But now, hearing Lorne’s words, he started to doubt his assumptions. Maybe the Draco Guard really did exist. 

Just as Jedidiah was caught in a swirl of shock and suspicion, Emperor Grant looked at Lorne and the military officials, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. 

He said, “The Draco Guard is Vyrdenia’s ultimate trump card. It must not be used unless the nation faces true life and death. Are you all intending to defy the late emperor’s final edict?”
