Chapter 576 Raven’s Arrival
The high–ranking officials froze for a brief moment, stunned. In the next instant, their faces lit up with unrestrained joy. “Commander Valor, right this way, please,” they said eagerly. Practically tripping over themselves, the officials scrambled to their feet and surrounded Raven, guiding her outside.
*****
An hour later, Raven arrived at the southern border war zone of Vyrdenia, accompanied by the officials.
The border warzone was a wasteland of death, littered with corpses and scarred by destruction.
Even from the plane, Raven could feel the suffocating stench of blood assaulting her senses.
As she gazed at the scene below, a chilling aura of lethal intent emanated from her.
Not far away, the prime minister of Chontix, Tyler Walters, stood triumphantly atop an armored vehicle, barking orders to his troops as they encircled Randolph and the remaining Sirius Pack soldiers, who were fighting desperately.
The Sirius Pack was down to fewer than fifty soldiers, yet they gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fierce and unyielding as they faced off against the coalition forces surrounding them. Surrender was not an option.
With heavy losses across the battlefield, Randolph had no choice but to lead the remaining Sirius Pack members out of their camp and into the fray himself, determined to drive the coalition forces out of Vyrdenia’s borders.
But despite their exceptional combat skills, the overwhelming enemy numbers and the severe depletion of resources earlier in the conflict left them powerless to turn the tide. Even if they could take on a hundred foes each, it was no longer enough.
“Well, well, who would’ve thought? The mighty Sirius Pack, reduced to this sorry state.” Tyler’s voice boomed through a loudspeaker, dripping with smugness and disdain. “The invincible Sirius Pack? Hey, look at you now? Just a bunch of beaten mutts.”
He continued, “You thought you could slaughter our soldiers and walk away unscathed? Well, guess what–payback’s here, and it’s time for you to face the consequences.
“I’ll give you three minutes. Throw down your weapons, crawl over here, and beg for mercy. Then call Raven and tell her you‘ re switching sides–swear your loyalty to Chontix and become our lackeys.”
For years, Tyler had been humiliated by the Sirius Pack under Raven’s command. Now, at last, he had his moment of triumph.
Eager to see the Sirius Pack’s humiliation firsthand, Tyler personally led his soldiers across the border, advancing relentlessly toward the warzone camp.
Watching Randolph and the Sirius Pack surrounded by his troops, struggling in vain, Tyler felt a surge of satisfaction. Tyler’s arrogant voice echoed across the battlefield, leaving the Sirius Pack members burning with rage and humiliation. “Forget it. We’d rather die than surrender.” Randolph’s eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Tyler. “We, the Sirius Pack, fear no death and refuse to live in disgrace.”
Tyler sneered. “Heh, admirable resolve. But let me make this clear. If you don’t surrender, we’ll raze Vyrdenia’s border warzone to the ground. When we’re done, your brothers and your families will all be dead.”
“Damn it. He’s gone too far.”
“Commander Wagner, let’s fight our way out.”
Randolph’s face turned icy cold. “Kill.”
“Since you won’t take the easy way, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Tyler stood atop the armored vehicle, his face icy. He raised his left hand and commanded the soldiers lined up behind him. “On my signal. Level the camp.”
At his command, the soldiers behind him raised their rifles and heavy artillery, aiming at Randolph and his comrades, as well as the Vyrdenian camp a few hundred feet away.
The enemy soldiers encircling Randolph and the Sirius Pack also pointed their weapons at them.
The Sirius Pack members exchanged glances, their faces set with grim determination. They were ready to face death head- on. At this moment, they were trapped in an unprecedented crisis.
But just as the enemy soldiers were about to pull their triggers, and the Sirius Pack had braced themselves for the worst, a streak of white suddenly descended from the sky.
Thud. A heavy impact echoed as a figure landed firmly on the ground. In the next instant, Raven appeared between the two opposing forces.
