The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 178

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.”

Hearing her tone–so decisive, so final–Lorne could only nod bitterly.

He glanced at Benson, whose expression flickered with unreadable thoughts. Inwardly, Lorne sighed.

He could only hope that Raven’s seemingly reckless decision might just be the spark the aging military needed to wake up.

Just then, the Sunset Empire’s general stepped forward, smirking as he looked at Raven. “So, does our death match still stand–your so–called Hundred–Man Unit

against my elite troupe, ten days from now?”

Raven answered without hesitation. “Of course. Since I said I’d kill you as an offering, I see no reason to go back on my word.”

The general’s smile twisted into something sharper, darker. “Very well… I’ll be waiting.”

With that, he ordered his troops to carry off the unconscious Jedidiah and left without another word.

Soon after, Benson, Lorne, and the others also withdrew.

In the courtyard, many lingered, but now that they knew this so–called Hundred–Man Unit would be facing the Sunset Empire in a life–or–death match in just ten days, their enthusiasm waned.

A few patriotic souls remained determined–but most wore expressions of unease, even dread.

Dominic, still preoccupied, muttered the same thought for the tenth time. “I almost caught up. He was right there–and then he just vanished. How does someone just disappear like that?”

Dominic huffed. “I know, but something about it feels off.”
