The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 547 Turning the Tables

"Your Majesty, this is far too risky! If the traitors play us for fools and hand you over to Filren, the

consequences could be unimaginable!" Logan argued vehemently.

"Worrying too much about potential dangers will only waste our time. If you can't devise a plan, at least

don't stand in my way!" Balthazar responded, feeling irritated.

He had little patience for indecision, especially in matters of battle where hesitation could lead to

defeat.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that could repel the enemy forces," Logan proposed confidently.

"What is it, Commander? Speak up." Balthazar encouraged.

"We could have the traitors take me to the Filren's forces, pretending to defect. As a commander of

Tenby Passage, the sight of me captured would surely convince them of the passage's fall. This way,

it'll raise no suspicion," Logan explained his daring strategy.

"Aren't you afraid these traitors might turn against you, putting yourself in grave danger in return?"

Balthazar asked, surprised by Logan's boldness.

"If Your Majesty is not afraid, why should I, your subordinate, hesitate to sacrifice myself? You are right.

Dwelling on what might go wrong only delays our victory," Logan stated with unwavering resolve.

"But you are wounded. It's not wise to risk yourself further." Balthazar observed, noting Logan's blood-

soaked armor.

He was unwilling to let him take more risks.

"I am fine, Your Majesty. Now is the time for me to serve our country. Please grant me this honor,"

Logan implored.

"Very well! Commander Massey, your willingness to infiltrate enemy ranks moves me. You shall be duly

rewarded once we repel the enemy," Balthazar promised.

"Your Majesty, it is my duty to serve our nation. Defending Tenby Passage is my responsibility," Logan

humbly replied.

"Commander, your bravery in the face of the enemy and your efforts in the battle against Quinton have

already earned you great merit. As you prepare to venture deep into enemy territory, I urge you to take

care." Balthazar expressed his concern.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I shall return victorious," Logan assured with a confident smile.

At that moment, Lyndon stepped forward. "Your Majesty, while Commander Massey's plan is bold, that

does not guarantee that Filren will be completely convinced."

"What do you suggest, Lyndon?" Balthazar inquired.

"Allow me to accompany him. Together, we stand a better chance of convincing them," Lyndon offered.

"Why do you propose this?" Balthazar questioned. He was curious about Lyndon's reasoning.

"Filren knows that both of us were captured by Quinton. If I don't show myself, they might grow

suspicious," Lyndon explained.

"So, you wish to join Commander Massey on this mission?" Balthazar clarified.

"Exactly. Only by doing so can we fully convince Filren's forces, catching them entirely off guard,"

Lyndon elaborated.

"Alright, Lyndon, take care. Once the battle is over, I will assist you in rebuilding the army." Balthazar

consented with a nod.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We've got this under control," Lyndon responded confidently.

Balthazar then addressed Quinton's vast army, saying, "All of you claim to be the brave sons of

Diatoran who are seeking redemption. Well, your chance has arrived.

"Escort Commanders Massey and Lyndon on a mission of feigned betrayal. When the time's right, we'll

catch the enemy off guard and strike when they least expect it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the vast army responded in unison.

"This operation must be under the command of Commanders Massey and Lyndon!" Balthazar

instructed.

"Yes!" the army roared with their spirits lifted.

Logan and Lyndon, pretending to be captives, followed Quinton's men toward Tenby Passage.

Caspian respected Logan's willingness to risk his life despite his injuries, although he was unfamiliar

with him.

He was a man deserving of respect regardless of whether Logan was his father.

However, the mission was dangerous. Logan's life was on the line.

"To expedite our victory, we might consider using heavy artillery against the rear of Filren's forces,"

Caspian suggested.

"Let's proceed with your plan," Balthazar agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Caspian responded, wasting no time.

He ordered the armored battalion to prepare the heavy artillery for an impending assault.

Filren's hundred thousand-strong force was now mere hundreds of feet away from Tenby Passage.

The enemy remained unaware of the impending trick as they saw Quinton's men emerge from the

passage.

They did not even realize Logan and Lyndon were there.

"Hold on! Where's Quinton? And where's the Diatoranian king?" an enemy commander shouted out,

sensing something was amiss.

A general then stepped forward and claimed, "Commander Quinton and the king are at the rear!"

The Filrenian commanders bought the story and halted their advance.

"Commander, something seems off," another Filren general said as they closed in within 90 to 130 feet

away.

"What's the matter?" the enemy commander inquired.

"Quinton's surrendering to us, so logically, he should be leading the way. But there's no sign of Quinton

or the Diatoranian king. Could this be a trap?" the Filrenian general speculated.

Realization dawned on the enemy commander, who then ordered, "Halt! Bring out Quinton and the

Diatoranian king now!"

Logan knew it was time to act as he realized they were only a few dozen feet from the Filrenian forces

and that the enemy had detected the ruse.

"Charge with me!" Logan roared.

Following Logan's call, Quinton's forces charged with overwhelming momentum.

Logan and Lyndon led the charge, unstoppable in their advance.

The Filren's forces were caught completely off guard, never anticipating a feigned surrender from

Diatoran's troops.

Logan and Quinton's former subordinates had already breached their lines by the time they realized

what was happening.

The mass of over a hundred thousand soldiers overwhelmed any resistance.

Even Filren's hundred thousand-strong army stood no chance against Logan's assault, given the sheer

disparity in numbers.

Quinton's men fought with all their might. They were eager to atone for their past through this battle,

seeing this as a chance to redeem themselves.

They harbored no regrets, even if it meant death.

The Filren's forces were outnumbered and outmatched despite their heavy weaponry.

They stood little chance in close combat.

"Now!" Caspian seized the moment to give the command.

In an instant, artillery fire rained down from within Tenby Passage.

The barrage caught the enemy off guard and decimated them.

Filren's hundred thousand soldiers crumbled under the artillery onslaught. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Caspian ordered a cease-fire after a brief but intense bombardment.

Further use of heavy artillery risked harming people of their own as Logan and Lyndon were engaged

in close combat with the enemy.
