The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 549 The Grim Situation in the South Aridlands

“You must follow orders! Tenby Passage is crucial. Diatoran will be in peril if it falls. You must hold your

position!” Caspian firmly refused.

“Yes!” Logan dared not object further.

Despite his certainty about being Caspian’s biological father, Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War.

Logan had no choice but to obey.

Balthazar’s safety was paramount. This allowed the Five War Gods to fight without restraint.

While addressing Quinton’s former troops, Balthazar proclaimed, “Warriors, I witnessed your valiant

efforts! I believe in your loyalty!

“From this moment, you are no longer rebels but the proud soldiers of Diatoran! Defend our land and

follow the Diatoranian God of War to repel the enemy!”

Quinton’s former troops were overwhelmed with emotions as they were moved by Balthazar’s words.

They rallied together. “Thank you, Your Majesty! We will defeat the enemy!”

With no time to waste, Caspian urged, “Let’s move out and destroy the enemy at the West Aridlands

front!”

Following Caspian’s command, the vast and energized army marched toward West Aridlands.

Balthazar, Lyndon, Logan, and Ferb watched as Caspian led the troops away, each with their thoughts.

“This battle is crucial for Diatoran’s fate. We must emerge victorious,” Lyndon stated.

“Indeed, the chance for Diatoran to counterattack depends on this battle,” Ferb added.

“Caspian has never faced defeat. His presence guarantees victory,” Balthazar confidently said.

Logan felt such intense emotion as he watched Caspian lead the troops to the West Aridlands.

He regretted abandoning Caspian and his mother.

It was too late for him to realize that Caspian would have been the pride of the

Now, Logan wasn’t even sure if Caspian would acknowledge their relationship.

“Logan, your contributions in this battle are commendable. You will be duly rewarded,” Balthazar

assured.

“Your Majesty, defending Tenby Passage is my duty. The successful resistance against Quinton was a

collective effort. I cannot claim sole credit,” Logan humbly replied.

“Rest assured. Every deserving individual will be rewarded. As the commander of Tenby Passage, who

is now wounded, your contributions are unparalleled,” Balthazar promised.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Logan responded as he was deeply moved.

“Rise.” Balthazar gestured for Logan to stand.”

“Your Majesty, Quinton’s betrayal has caused much turmoil. It’s best if you rest here at the passage,”

Logan suggested.

“No, I must return to the West Aridlands War Zone immediately,” Balthazar declined.

He understood the urgency of reinforcing the frontline.

“The soldiers are fighting bravely, so I cannot rest. I will head to West now to lead,” Balthazar stated as

he was determined to contribute.

“Your Majesty, please take care,” Logan said.

“Commander Massey, Tenby Passage is the gateway to West Aridlands. You must hold it at all costs. I

will send reinforcements to assist you,” Balthazar assured.

With its garrison significantly depleted and Logan injured, additional forces were needed to secure this

strategic location.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, but where can we find reinforcements now?” Logan inquired, aware of the

current troop deployments.

“Quinton had over 200 thousand troops. With Quinton now gone, his subordinates across West

Aridlands will likely heed our call,” Balthazar explained.

The lack of manpower was critical. It seemed a viable solution to offer Quinton’s troops a chance to

redeem themselves.

“I understand. Quinton’s men will surely turn to our side,” Logan said, encouraged by the prospect.

“Now is indeed the time for reinforcements. Spread the word of Quinton’s demise and see how his

other subordinates respond,” Balthazar ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Logan acknowledged. He was ready to implement Balthazar’s directive.

News of Quinton’s death and Balthazar’s safety spread quickly.

This reassured the other War Gods and prompted Quinton’s remaining forces in West Aridlands to

surrender.

Balthazar chose not to punish these men harshly as he recognized the need for soldiers.

He ordered them to continue guarding the pass and sent 50 thousand troops to support Tenby

Passage.

Balthazar then returned to the West Aridlands front.

Filren launched a full-scale assault at the West Aridlands border.

Dax led the West Aridlands troops in a desperate defense. They were suffering heavy losses.

“Soldiers! The Diatoranian God of War is on his way to support us. Hold the line at all costs. We can

surely fight back once he’s here!”

Dax personally led the charge.

He boosted morale without revealing Caspian’s strategic plan to ensure secrecy until the latter’s arrival.

The battle plan was top secret. It was planned to be revealed only upon Caspian’s arrival.

The soldiers at the West Aridlands front were instantly invigorated upon hearing that Caspian, the

legendary Diatoranian God of War, was coming to their aid.

Caspian was unparalleled/His very name inspired confidence among the troops.

Caspian was not just a commander to them but a legend whose mere presence guaranteed victory

against the enemy.

The combined forces of Astronia and Vadesia launched a new attack.

Benjamin, the Champion of North Aridlands, now commanded the South

He faced the overwhelming Astronian and Vadesian troops.

Their naval firepower was formidable. It posed a significant challenge to the South Aridlands’ defenses.

The South Aridlands’ current weaponry and fortifications were no longer sufficient to hold back the

enemy.

Vadesia and the Astronia were relentless. They gave Diatoran no chance to

recover.

They aimed to conquer South Aridlands in one fell swoop.

The South Aridlands’ naval forces were forced to retreat when the enemy advanced, further

jeopardizing the region’s security.
