Chapter 35 Ambushed on the Road

At this moment, three heavily modified armored off-road vehicles were speeding down the

road leading

back to Southlake City.

Caspian and Sylvia sat in the vehicle in the middle.

Subordinates from Diadem Hall rode in the vehicles in front and behind them.

Just then, Sylvia got a call from Hugo Webber, the subordinate she put in charge of the

wedding

arrangements.

“How are the preparations coming along?” Sylvia asked.

“General Frost, the prominent families from Dhord City have-arrived in Southlake City. All

of the preparations have been made. We’re now awaiting further orders!” Hugo reported.

“There’s no rush. Tell them to sit tight. Lord Caspian and I are making our way back to

Southlake City. Wait until we arrive before heading over to Stewart Residence to pick up

the bride,” Sylvia instructed.

“Understood,” Hugo replied.

“You settled the suits and the rings, right?” Sylvia checked.

“Rest assured, General Frost. Everything’s ready,” Hugo assured.

“That will be all for now then,” Sylvia said before terminating the call.

The three vehicles entered a bumpy and rough stretch of road with mountains on both

sides.

They were surrounded by dense shrubbery on all sides.

As soon as Sylvia’s call ended, she received another call from an unfamiliar number.

“Hello? Who is this?” Sylvia asked.

“General Frost, this is John Anderson!” Having procured Sylvia’s number, John immediately

called her to

report the situation.

“I just received a report saying that Tigra’s Apex Legion has entered Southlake City.

They’re planning on attacking Lord Caspian! They could be near you right now! I’ve

deployed fighter jets and soldiers to act as

your reinforcements. Please be careful!”

Sylvia’s expression turned grim. They were currently passing through a mountainous

region covered in forest land- a natural source of cover. If their enemy’s Apex Legion was

here, they would be in serious

With a sinking feeling, Sylvia immediately grabbed her walkie-talkie and commanded

loudly, “Enemy

forces are here to ambush Lord Caspian. Drive as quickly as possible! We need to get out

of here at once!”

Upon hearing Sylvia’s words, Caspian grew alert.

The drivers floored the accelerators and the vehicles sped up.

All of a sudden, a trail of smoke streaked across the sky as a mortar bomb shot toward the

three off-road

vehicles.

Thankfully, the vehicles had accelerated, and the bomb fell behind them,

With a loud bang, a massive crater was formed.

The people in the other two vehicles had heard of the situation. They quickly closed in to

shield Caspian’s

vehicle.

Sylvia was still on a call with John, and he heard the explosion.

“General Frost! Is everything alright?” John asked frantically.

Sylvia could not spare the time to respond to John. She was in battle mode and gearing

herself up to

make any necessary sacrifice.

If another bomb shot out, she would throw herself in front of Caspian to shield him without

hesitation.

Yet another deafening sound rang out.

A bomb had been shot over from the other side of the mountain.

Clearly, there were enemy forces on both mountains. The situation was critical.

Though the bomb did not hit its target, the impact of its landing was forceful enough to

make the drivers lose control of their vehicles.

Despite being a veteran when it came to battle, Caspian was still an ordinary human being

made of flesh and blood. He could not do anything against artillery attacks.

The series of explosions was making John panic.

The situation was worse than he expected. All he could do was order the unit leaders to

advance quickly to provide support. Evidently, the enemy had formulated a well-crafted

plan.

Caspian’s convoy did not even have a moment of peace. The third bomb had been

dropped.

This time, the enemy seemed to have calculated the trajectory to ensure the bomb would

hit the vehicle

Caspian was in.

Caspian was the biggest threat to Tigra. Their goal was to get rid of him.

They did not care about the passengers in the other two vehicles.

When the driver heard the sound of the bomb whizzing through the air, he immediately

reacted.

Alas, the vehicle was speeding too quickly. The abrupt slamming of the brakes nearly

made him lose

control of the vehicle.

The bomb exploded right in front of the vehicle!

There was a loud bang, and the shockwaves sent Caspian’s vehicle flying.

Caspian swiftly kicked the door open and yelled, “Get out!”

He was the first to jump out.

Caspian knew full well that he was the enemy’s target. By showing himself, he could draw

fire and prevent

the vehicle from getting destroyed.

True enough, the moment Caspian appeared, the snipers on standby immediately zeroed

in on him.

Thankfully, Caspian had quick reflexes. He instantly hid behind a large tree.

Having seen that, Sylvia and the others ran out of the vehicles as well.

The other two vehicles came to a stop as well. Everyone got out as quickly as possible and

charged

toward Caspian’s hiding spot.

Caspian was the lord of Diadem Hall. They were going to protect him no matter what!

“Get away! Don’t come near me!” Caspian hurriedly shouted at Sylvia and the other

guards who were

making their way over to him.

It was his wedding day. He did not want his people to die on this day.

If his subordinates died trying to protect him, he would not be in the mood to hold his

wedding anymore.

Alas, at a time like this, Sylvia and the guards refused to listen to Caspian’s orders.

In their eyes, Caspian’s life mattered more than anything else!

They continued to close in on Caspian. They were even prepared to act as physical shields

to defend him

Enemy forces were hidden within the mountains on both sides. They were attacking on

both fronts Even though Caspian had found a temporary hiding spot, it was futile. He was

still exposed to the enemy.

The enemy had positioned themselves extremely well. There were no blind spots left

uncovered by the

snipers range of fire

Earlier on, the situation had been far too critical. Being on the road meant Caspian was

out in the open,

and the car was a ticking time bomb, so he had no choice but to seek temporary refuge

behind a tree

Thus, his present position was a dangerous one too!

True enough, the enemy’s snipers once again had their rifles trained on him.

Caspian heard the sound of the bullet whizzing through the air. He swiftly moved away

from the tree.

The bullet pierced a hole through the tree’s massive trunk.

Caspian had evaded in time. If he had not, the consequences would have been

unthinkable.

The moment Caspian stepped away from his hiding spot, he was subjected to a barrage of

shots fired from machine guns!

Sylvia and the others witnessed this. They dashed over to Caspian in a frenzy.

“Watch out, Lord Caspian!” The subordinate in the lead immediately threw himself in front

of Caspian.

At the same time, he saw a bullet coming straight at him…
