The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 543 The Battle of Life and Death

Caspian led an army of men in steel armor, along with two battalions under Dax. Although he was

equipped with fewer than a hundred thousand men, his intimidating presence struck fear in Quinton's

forces.

Caspian Lynch, or the Diatoranian God of War, was a famous name. A legend of Diatoran, he was

simultaneously an enemy's worst nightmare.

Now turned rebels, Quinton and his men found themselves facing Caspian, their former ally, whose

reputation alone instilled dread.

Caspian seemed to be holding a dagger in his hand. The glint on the blade was terrifying, as though it'd

slice through one's neck in the next second.

The enemy had no idea what he was holding, but they could sense that it was a sharp and destructive Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

weapon.

"Your Majesty, my apologies for arriving late," Caspian announced loudly upon seeing the King.

His booming voice sent shivers through everyone present.

"Lord Caspian, you're finally here! Rid us of the traitor Quinton Hans immediately!" The King, deeply

moved by Caspian's presence, felt a wave of reassurance.

"Of course!" Caspian replied as he closed in with his army.

However, when he was within a mile, he signaled his forces to halt. He had to be cautious since the

King was still in the hands of the rebels.

Meanwhile, armored and missile vehicles positioned themselves at the forefront, escalating the tension.

Caspian's men were prepared to fight to the death against Quinton.

Noticing the huge toll on the army guarding Tenby Passage, Caspian marveled at the resilience of

Logan's 20-thousand men, holding their ground until his arrival.

Before this, someone had approached Caspian to ascertain his family background. Caspian himself

had also discreetly looked into the Massey Family. Despite not knowing if Logan was his father, he

carried certain expectations.

The mystery of his lineage had troubled him for two decades, after all.

Logan was thrilled to see Caspian. With one look, he could tell that Caspian was his long-lost son. The

two bore a striking resemblance to each other.

However, Logan soon looked away out of remorse. Due to difficult circumstances, he had dumped his

few-month-old son by the steps of another family's home. The memory plagued Logan, who felt

regretful of his actions.

At that moment, Caspian confronted Quinton. "Quinton Hans, has our King not treated you well? What

did you gain from pledging your allegiance to Filren?"

"Caspian Lynch, you might be the Diatoranian God of War, but I do not fear you. Diatoran is faced with

multiple threats, and its demise is almost guaranteed.

"Self-preservation is a priority. Betraying my country secures my future," argued Quinton with

confidence, especially because he commanded more men than Caspian at the moment.

He had no option but to fight Caspian to the bitter end.

"Quinton Hans, Diatoran is rich with resources and talents. It's only a matter of time before we fend off

the enemies.

"Your decision to betray your country for Filren led to infighting among the Diatoran soldiers, a sin

punishable by death. Surrender now, and I'll at least grant you a dignified death!" Caspian remarked

icily.

"That's ridiculous! I have 200 thousand men on my side. What makes you think you're my match with

only 80 thousand men? You're delusional for telling me to surrender!" Quinton scoffed and cackled.

"I have seen my fair share of wars. I could even defeat you alone. Holding the King captive is a deadly

sin. Surrender, or don't blame me for being heartless!" Caspian retorted.

"The King is in my hands. Do you have the guts to lay a finger on me?" Quinton felt invincible with the

King under his captive.

Caspian momentarily hesitated, not wanting to accidentally harm the King. Yet, he couldn't allow

Quinton and his men to escape into Filren's territory through the passage.

This was Caspian's first time encountering such a dilemma. There was a coup in Dhord City a few

years back, where he'd commanded the army in steel armor to save the King. Back then, the King was

merely held captive without any threat to his life.

"Lord Caspian, we cannot fire at the enemy as we wish, but we can change their minds," Macy

whispered to Caspian.

Surprised by the brilliant suggestion, he remarked with a chuckle, "Macy, you can be quite smart when

the time calls for it, even when you seem senseless in daily life."

"Lord Caspian, you flatter me. I'm sure you would have thought of the same had it not been for the

fatigue," Macy replied humbly with a smile.

Caspian nodded and was ready to put the idea to the test. At first, he panicked upon seeing the King's

life in danger, but he had since calmed down.

"By the way, Lord Caspian, it's time to utilize your Diatanium dagger. To defeat the enemy, you'll have

to capture their leader first and foremost. Kill Quinton Hans, and his men will be of no threat." Macy

analyzed.

"Great! That's a wonderful idea. I'll start with that bastard Quinton!" Caspian agreed.

Quinton interrupted Caspian by yelling, "Caspian Lynch, do not waste your time fighting me! Surrender

now and pledge your allegiance to Filren. Given your current reputation, you will be highly appreciated

for your talents at Filren."

"Fuck off! I'm the Diatoranian God of War, one of the Five War Gods. I refuse to be complicit with you!"

bellowed Caspian.

"Look, you've traveled thousands of miles to fight us. You'll tarnish your undefeated records if you lose

the battle to me. I'd be mindful if I were you," taunted Quinton.

Ignoring Quinton, Caspian yelled at Quinton's forces, "Guys, you are hot-blooded sons of Diatoran. I

believe you joined the army to serve your nation, but you had no choice but to follow Quinton's steps to

commit treason.

"I understand your dilemma, and I promise not to hold you accountable if you surrender now."

Everyone present was astonished by Caspian's strategy. As one of the Five War Gods, he chose to

play on the enemy's psychology, which would likely seal his victory.

Caspian pressed on, "You dreamed of protecting the nation when donning your uniform. Now's your

chance. Have you ever thought of your families when you made the choice to commit treason with

Quinton?"

The enemy grappled with feelings of guilt. Most of Quinton's men were reluctant to turn to Filren.

However, they had no choice but to listen to their commander or risk dying.

Quinton was alarmed by the faltering morale of his men.
