Chapter 575 The Request
The officials froze, their faces stiffening. The next moment, a loud thud echoed as one of them dropped to his knees.
“Commander Valor, you’re the only one who can save Vyrdenia. We were wrong. We were blind and made terrible decisions. If you’re angry, punish us however you want, but please, hurry to the border warzone. If you don’t, Vyrdenia is doomed.”
The other officials, seeing this, quickly followed suit, kneeling one after another.
“Commander Valor, we truly regret our actions. We shouldn’t have let fear of Lord Whitefall push us into expelling you from the military. Please, you’re our only hope–save Vyrdenia,” a man said.
Raven looked down at the kneeling officials, her expression calm and detached. “I’m not even a citizen of Vyrdenia anymore. What makes you think I have the right to fix your mess?”
Another one chimed in, “Commander Valor, we know you’re angry, and you have every right to punish us. But think about the Sirius Pack and the other soldiers still holding the line at the border–they’re innocent. And the people of Vyrdenia? Can you really let them face total annihilation?”
“Commander Valor, you’re the only one who can stop the allied forces. Your former comrades are fighting with everything they’ve got to defend the border. Please, come with us; the soldiers and civilians need you,” an official pleaded.
Raven fell silent. Their plea struck a chord with her.
Though Raven was deeply disillusioned with Vyrdenia’s military, the soldiers who had once fought alongside her, and the Sirius Pack members she had personally trained, meant the world to her.
Noticing the slight shift in Raven’s expression, one of the senior officials quickly pulled out his phone.
“Commander Valor, just take a look at the war zone. If you still say no after this, we won’t bother you again.” With that, he played the video for Raven.
Raven’s expression stayed icy, and her heart clenched as the brutal scenes played out. Vyrdenian soldiers, outmatched and outnumbered, fought with unyielding determination, risking everything to hold the line.
Her gaze locked onto the Sirius Pack’s banner, drenched in blood yet standing tall, a stubborn symbol of defiance. Amidst the chaos, Raven spotted Randolph, the border’s deputy commander, and other familiar faces from her past. The images brought back vivid memories of the days when she led them to sweep across the Outer Battlefield.
Raven could ignore the fate of Alton and the other selfish higher–ups, but she couldn’t just stand by and let these brave souls pay the ultimate price for someone else’s greed.
“Commander Valor, please, save Vyrdenia.” The officials around her continued their desperate pleas.
Raven glanced at the earnest faces of the officials and asked, “Did Commander Nelson send you here?”
A man shook his head. “No, we came on our own. We realized how selfish we were before, so we made the trip to Broson City to apologize to you.
“Commander Valor, please, for the sake of the times we worked together, come back to the border war zone with us.” Raven was their last hope. If Raven truly refused to return to the border war zone, Vyrdenia might face complete collapse. The head of the men said, “Commander Valor, the plane is ready. Just give the word, and we can leave immediately. We’ll be at the border in an hour.
“If you can push back the allied forces, we’ll make sure your achievements are announced across Vyrdenia. Your name will be cleared, and you won’t have suffered in vain.”
Raven took one last look at the video on her phone, exhaled slowly, and said, “Lead the way.”
