The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 719 Attacking the Capital

At this moment, Byron was still immersed in his own happiness.

He was still thinking that his troops might’ve already annihilated Caspian’s. forces.

He had been waiting for news all this while.

As long as Byron could destroy Caspian, he could build his reputation and solidify his position.

By then, Filren could also sound the horn of a counter–attack.

They might even seize the opportunity to take down Diatoran!

However, despite waiting anxiously, he hadn’t received any news from Death Mountain Prison.

In the end, he couldn’t wait any longer and immediately made a call to inquire about the situation.

“How’s the situation on your end?” Byron asked.

The one who answered the phone was the commander of the 200 thousand soldiers sent as

reinforcements.

“Your Majesty, we haven’t even reached Death Mountain Prison. We were ambushed halfway!” the

commander replied.

“What? You were ambushed?” Byron was astonished.

“Yes. We’re currently fighting back with all our might,” the commander

answered.

“How could they know that we had sent reinforcements? Could it be that Caspian is really that

extraordinary? And how’s the situation at the prison?” Byron asked with a trembling heart.

“I don’t know either. Right now, everything is chaotic on our end, and we have no time to focus on the

situation at the prison,” the commander said somewhat resentfully.

He never had much confidence in the new King of Filren. He had no talent for leading troops in battle;

he was just giving random orders.

“Regardless, you must eliminate Diatoran’s troops at all costs. I’ll immediately. inquire about the

situation at the prison,” Byron said before hanging up the

phone.

He then dialed the number for Death Mountain Prison.

However, after dialing for a long time, he couldn’t get through at all.

At this moment, Byron began to feel afraid as he had a foreboding feeling.

Death Mountain Prison was already in a precarious situation. Without reinforcements, they would

surely be defeated soon.

Now that he couldn’t even get through to them on the phone, there was only one possibility–the prison

had already fallen.

Byron suddenly panicked when he thought about the little over 100 thousand troops and how Caspian’s

forces were nowhere to be found.

He felt that with Caspian’s character, it was very likely that he would lead his troops to attack them.

Just as he was about to call the commander of the 200 thousand soldiers who were sent to reinforce

the prison to instruct them to return and defend, an urgent call came in.

“Hello, what’s the matter?” Byron asked.

“Your Majesty, bad news. Caspian is leading the armored battalion and hast arrived near the capital!”

the officer in charge of defending the city said

anxiously.

“What? How could Caspian arrive so quickly!” Byron was trembling with fear.

“I don’t know, but I can assure you that it’s Caspian’s troops. I’ve already seen the insignias of the

armored battalion. There’s no mistake,” the officer replied.

“Organize the troops immediately and stop Caspian! We must defend the capital!

Byron was in a panic.

“We only have a little over 100 thousand troops. How can we deal with the God of War?” The officer

was not confident in battling it out with Caspian.

“The capital is as solid as a fortress. Caspian won’t be able to break in so easily. Moreover, there are

only a few armored soldiers. There’s nothing to fear!” Byron pretended to be calm.

“Your Majesty, I think to ensure nothing goes wrong, it’s better to have those reinforcements return to

defend quickly!” the officer suggested.

“Alright, I’ll order them to return immediately,” Byron said urgently.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the commander of the reinforcements.

“Your Majesty, we’re currently in a fierce battle here. What’s the matter?” the commander asked.

“Caspian has led the armored battalion to attack the capital!” Byron said urgently.

“What? Is Caspian really so audacious?” The commander was extremely shocked after hearing this.

“Yes, Caspian is the devil. He wants to take down Filren!” Byron said.

“Your Majesty, I heard that since Caspian became the Diatoranian God of War, he has never been

defeated. You must be careful!” the commander said.

“You must bring back the majority of your troops immediately and defend the capital!” Byron ordered.

“Your Majesty, we’re currently engaged in an intense battle and can’t withdraw at all! If we retreat now,

we’ll definitely be treated as sitting ducks. Casualties will be even heavier!” the commander said.

“You have nearly 200 thousand troops there. If you don’t return to defend immediately, the capital may

be breached by Caspian! The entire Filren will be finished! You should understand the severity of the

situation, right?” Byron said angrily.

This person actually wanted to disobey his orders.

“My troops have already suffered heavy losses, and even if we return to defend, it won’t make a

difference!” the commander of the reinforcements said.

“Even if only a handful of soldiers remain, you must come back to me!” Byron said angrily.

“I understand. I’ll eliminate the enemy as soon as possible and then support the defense of the capital!”

The commander was also helpless.

“Alright! Hurry up. The capital is as solid as rock and can hold out for a while. I’ll wait for you to bring

back the reinforcements,” said Byron.

At this moment, Caspian, accompanied by the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard, had already

arrived outside the capital of Filren.

Macy, with her wounds bandaged, rushed over.

“Macy, shouldn’t you be resting? Why did you come along?” Caspian asked, looking at Macy who was

all wrapped in bandages.

“Lord Caspian, all of you are in battle, and I don’t want to stay idle. I want to fight alongside my

teammates!” Macy said.

“You’re seriously injured. You should rest first,” Caspian said.

“The battle is extraordinary. Only I understand the fighting style of Phoenix Vanguard. I’ve only suffered

minor injuries. I can still fight! Lord Caspian, let me fight with my teammates!” Macy requested.

“Alright, since you insist, I won’t stop you. But you must still take care of

yourself and not overwork yourself.” Caspian could only agree to her request as he knew about Macy’s

stubbornness.

“Lord Caspian, rest assured, I know my limits! When should we launch the final assault?” Macy asked.

“Let’s start now. First, let the armored battalion attack. Phoenix Vanguard will remain on standby,”

Caspian said.

“Why?” Macy asked in confusion.

“Let the armored battalion use heavy weapons to destroy the enemy’s defenses first. Then, Phoenix

Vanguard will charge out,” Caspian explained.

“Understood!” Macy nodded.

She unconditionally trusted Caspian. In terms of tactics, Caspian was much more skilled than her.

“Attack the city!” Caspian ordered from atop his war chariot.

In an instant, the sky was filled with countless cannon shells raining down on the capital of Filren.

The defenders of Filren were bombed into a bloody mess.

However, they had received advance notice and were prepared to counter–attack.

The battle between the two sides instantly entered a tense phase, with heavy weapons being used on

both sides.
