The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 578

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.”

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.
