Chapter 578 The News
Whoosh. A silver needle zipped past Tyler’s cheek, leaving him drenched in cold sweat. He touched the scratch on his face, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Tyler had thought that the allied forces from neighboring nations would make Raven hesitate, but she remained as decisive and ruthless as ever, leaving no room for negotiation.
He said, “R–Raven, you’ve been stripped of your citizenship in Vyrdenia. You have thing left. Why are you still so determined to fight for them?”
Raven looked at him calmly, her gaze calm, her tone firm and unyielding. “I’m not fighting for the Vyrdenia Military. I’m protecting the comrades who once stood shoulder to shoulder with me on the battlefield. Anyone who dares to harm them is my enemy. As long as I’m here, no one will breach the southern border.”
Her words ignited a surge of passion among the soldiers stationed at the border.
They stared at her back with awe, their fervent gazes growing even more intense. “We underestimated her before.”
Still circling in the helicopter, waiting for the right moment to land, the senior officials of the Vyrdenia Military watched Raven face off against Tyler. They couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
They had always known Raven was formidable, but seeing her alone intimidate the allied forces of Chontix and other nations was beyond their expectations.
Tyler fell silent for a few seconds, his gaze sharp and calculating. Then, he spoke, “You claim you’re only here to protect the soldiers and the people of the southern border. If we were to enter through other border cities, would you step aside?”
Raven’s lips curved into a faint, almost mocking smile. “Feel free to try.”
Tyler seemed to weigh his options, his expression darkening. Finally, he swallowed his anger and barked at his soldiers,” Retreat immediately.”
Before leaving, he turned back to Raven, his tone sharp with warning. “Raven, you’d better not go back on your word. If you dare interfere when we attack from other borders, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
With that, Tyler and the allied forces from various nations retreated from the border as quickly as they could.
The battlefield was left with only the hurried silhouettes of the retreating enemy fading into the distance.
From the helicopter, the Vyrdenian high command stared at the retreating figures, their minds swirling in disbelief. “Oh my, It’s an absolute miracle.”
After witnessing Raven single–handedly force the enemy to retreat without a single casualty, the high–ranking officials were consumed by regret.
It wasn’t until the enemy forces had fully withdrawn that the helicopter hovering above began its slow descent.
The officials scrambled to disembark the moment the helicopter touched down.
They wanted to speak to Raven, but in the end, all they could do was lower their heads in shame.
At that moment, their regret was so deep it felt like a knife twisting in their hearts.
They really shouldn’t have been bewitched at that time. Egged on by Alton, they voted in favor of expelling Raven from the combat department.
But now, it was too late. They had completely alienated her, and there was no chance she would ever return to fight for Vyrdenia again.
Randolph and the others approached Raven, their faces heavy with guilt. “Commander Valor, we failed. We couldn’t even hold the border.”
Raven placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “The enemy outnumbered you dozens to one. With no proper supplies or weapons, what you accomplished was already remarkable.”

At the same time, in Regalhold’s top council chamber, Alton and the other officials received word that the crisis at the southern border had been resolved.
Alton’s grin stretched wide as he heard the news of Chontix and the allied forces retreating. “I’ve always said Vyrdenia is brimming with talent. Of course, we’d hold the border Chontiv? Thou’re nothing to worry about. Even if the other nations team up, they still can’t touch us.
Successfully unlocked!
“Who was it that claimed we couldn’t defend the puruer without Raven? well, let them see now. No Raven, and yet Vyrdenia remains untouchable.”
He continued, “From now on, anyone who dares suggest bringing Raven back can pack their bags too. I’ll personally kick them out of the military.”

At that moment, Alton felt an almost uncontrollable urge to throw his head back and laugh. “See? All that worrying was for nothing. The military runs just fine without Raven, and Vyrdenia is as strong as ever.”
The other high–ranking officials in the conference room, visibly relieved by the news of the border crisis being resolved, broke into wide, triumphant smiles.
“Commander Nelson, you really called it this time.”
“Can you believe it? Our border forces–less than fifty thousand soldiers–held off an attack from hundreds of thousands of allied troops. If that doesn’t prove how unstoppable Vyrdenia’s military is, I don’t know what does.”
“Raven thought she could use this crisis to twist our arm? What a joke.”
“She even had the nerve to say that even if we begged her, she wouldn’t change her mind. Ha. As if Vyrdenia Military needs someone so full of herself.”
“I bet she’s eating her words now, probably wishing she’d never tried to challenge us in the first place.”
“How could she not regret it? If she’d just come back to the border and done her part, maybe–just maybe–we’d have considered reinstating her citizenship. But no, she thought she could use the border soldiers to threaten us. Now look at her. Serves her right.”
The conference room erupted in laughter and mockery, the officials gleefully ridiculing Raven for missing her chance to be accepted back into Vyrdenia.
The secretary, who came to report to Alton, stood there awkwardly, watching the higher–ups boast and ramble on. He tried several times to cut in, but the chance never came.
Finally, Alton turned to him with a smile. “Go ahead. Tell everyone who pulled off this big win. Who was it that made the allied forces retreat from the border? Bring him to Regalhold HQ. I’m promoting him to commander of the Sirius Pack.
“Raven thinks she can throw her weight around just because of a few accomplishments. I’ll make sure the people of Vyrdenia understand that the military’s success today is the result of everyone’s hard work, not just hers. People like her, who think they’re untouchable, always meet a bad end.”
But before Alton could finish, the secretary, feeling so embarrassed it was like ants crawling on his scalp, finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up. “Oh well, Commander Nelson, it was Raven who made the allied forces retreat.”
