Chapter 602 Interdependence
"Robert, we're currently engaged in a life-and-death fight with the forces of Diatoran. I'm afraid I can't
come to your aid," Viktor said.
"What? Are the forces of Diatoran attacking your side too? How many are there?" Robert asked.
"About 40 thousand!" Viktor replied.
"Don't you have over a hundred thousand troops? 40 thousand shouldn't be much of a problem for you!
I'm barely holding on here!" Robert urgently exclaimed.
"Weren't you also leading over a hundred thousand troops into Southlake City? How could you not hold
out?" Viktor asked in surprise.
In his view, Vadesia shouldn't be so weak.
"Diatoran used missiles against us and wiped out nearly half of my garrison troops. Now, I only have
about 30 to 40 thousand troops left by my side," Robert said anxiously.
"What? The missiles Diatoran launched earlier actually hit your garrison troops?" Viktor asked in
astonishment.
He had originally thought those missiles were meant for him, but they missed their mark.
But who would've thought the target was Robert's troops?
"That's right. We're both in danger now. If I fall to Diatoran, they'll come after you next," Robert said.
"I can't mobilize my troops now. What if the other party suddenly turns to attack me?" Viktor was now
also feeling anxious.
He didn't dare to move his troops elsewhere.
"The two of us must lead our forces into Southlake City. We must unite now.
"Only by doing so can we defeat the forces of Diatoran. We can wait for reinforcements then.
"If I fall to the hands of Diatoran, your fate won't be any better. We must unite now to deal with
Caspian!" Robert laid out his thoughts.
Viktor felt that Robert made sense. If Robert was defeated, he would be in danger too.
He wasn't sure he alone could handle Caspian's massive army.
Now, the two of them must unite to confront Caspian.
"Alright, I'll immediately mobilize 30 thousand troops to your location!" Viktor said.
Upon hearing his words, Robert was overjoyed. "I'll wait for your troops. I hope they arrive quickly, or
else I won't be able to hold on much longer."
"I understand. I'll give the orders immediately. You must hold on," Viktor said before hanging up the
phone.
Then, he began issuing orders and sent 30 thousand of his troops to reinforce Robert.
He currently had over a hundred thousand troops, so it wouldn't be a problem to send some out.
Viktor needed to make sure Robert's troops weren't wiped out, or else he would be in danger too.
Caspian had long anticipated that Robert would seek help from Viktor.
He had already sent the armored battalion to intercept them halfway.
Viktor's 30 thousand troops rushed toward Robert's location at full speed. Time was of the essence
now, and they had to seize every moment.
"Champion, we should break through as quickly as possible, or we might be surrounded by Diatoran's
large army!" one of Viktor's officers said.
"That's right. Caspian has only sent 50 thousand troops. We have nearly a hundred thousand. We can
definitely wipe them out!" a deputy echoed.
"Even if we charge out, what's the use? Our naval forces have been wiped out, and we have no retreat.
It's better to stay here and rely on the terrain to resist Diatoran's forces.
"If we head to the coastline, there's not even a cover there. We'll be doomed for sure. We can only wait
for the International Alliance's army to come to our rescue," Viktor said.
His deputy nodded at this. They were now isolated soldiers, and they could only continue to stay here.
Their only hope was the International Alliance.
The 50 thousand troops sent by Caspian hadn't attacked at their full capacity yet.
Their role was to hold Viktor back, buying enough time for Caspian to deal with Robert.
At this moment, Viktor suddenly thought of something. How did Diatoran's missiles accurately target
Robert's garrison troops? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
It must be because of the Diatoranian spy, Laina!
She must have transmitted the information to Caspian, which resulted in the subsequent events.
"Continue to interrogate the Diatoranian spy. I refuse to believe she knows nothing!" Viktor said fiercely.
"Yes!" Kenzie nodded.
Everyone had been distracted by the missiles just now and completely forgotten about Laina.
Kenzie led his men into the room where Laina was being held.
But when they pushed open the door, they found that she was gone.
Seeing this, everyone was extremely shocked.
"Shit! She's escaped! Quickly search to see if she's still in the villa," Kenzie said angrily.
"Would she be foolish enough to still stay in the villa?" Nicholas asked.
"Outside are the troops of Champion Viktor. She definitely wouldn't escape easily. Maybe she's still
inside the villa!" Kenzie said.
Upon hearing this, Nicholas felt Kenzie's words made sense.
He was extremely fearful now. The look in Laina's eyes earlier was as if she wanted to eat him alive!
Now that she was free, he was in danger.
Kenzie's subordinates began a thorough search of the villa.
Meanwhile, Kenzie went to report this matter to Viktor immediately.
Nicholas felt that nowhere was safe, so he decided to stick with Viktor. After all, there were many
soldiers around Viktor, and he wouldn't have to worry about being assassinated.
"Champion Viktor, Laina has escaped!" Kenzie came up to Viktor nervously.
"What? How could she escape when she was securely tied up?" Viktor thundered.
"We all rushed out just now, so she must've taken advantage of the chaos to escape," Kenzie said.
"What a bunch of useless people! You can't even keep an eye on someone tied up!" Viktor said angrily.
He was already somewhat upset, and now, his mood was even worse.
"We were all distracted by the missiles, so we forgot to guard her," Kenzie muttered.
"Quickly search the villa. She wouldn't have escaped so easily from here," Viktor said.
"I've already ordered my men to conduct a thorough search inside the villa. Champion, she's very
skillful. Now that she's hiding, you must be careful to avoid being assassinated!" Kenzie reminded
cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Viktor felt somewhat uneasy.
He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that Kenzie mentioned it, he felt like there were eyes
watching him from the shadows. This made him very uncomfortable.
Hence, Laina must be captured. Otherwise, Viktor wouldn't be at peace.
