Chapter 178 A Battle Of Life And Death

Raven's fingers paused above her phone screen.

She slowly lifted her gaze to Lorne, and with a calm, almost amused smile, said, " Doesn't Vyrdenia still have four million idle troops? Let Mr. Macy lead them to the front. And if they still can't win, he's welcome to carry the military's resources in hand and come begging me to send reinforcements."

A murmur rippled through the crowd. Many shook their heads at her words.

If those four million could be mobilized so easily, would Lorne have rushed here, practically breathless?

No one knew how she'd secured her general title, but one thing was clear: if she truly tried to force those troops into battle, the powerful figures presiding over them would never let her walk away unscathed.

As for Benson humbling himself to plead for her help?

That was pure delusion.

Even hearing that Vyrdenia had suffered a string of losses at the front hadn't fazed them.

War had its ups and downs-if Vyrdenia were truly weak, it would've been wiped out long ago.

Benson scoffed. "Beg you? With the military's resources? For someone your age, your arrogance is astonishing. You'd better watch that mouth, girl. It's easy to end up choking on your own words."

Ignoring him, Raven finished sending a message to the Sirius Pack, then slipped her phone into her pocket.

She didn't spare Benson another glance, turning instead to Lorne. "At dawn tomorrow, the Sirius Pack will return home for recovery. Notify the appropriate airspace

authorities along the route to clear the way."
