Chapter 37 Pressed for Time
Caspian, Sylvia, and the rest were relieved to see the fighter jets.
The roars of the fighter jets’ engines and the bangs from the missiles hitting their targets thundered
together.
The Apex Legion hidden on both mountainsides were pulverized.
Soon, Diatoran’s elite forces arrived on the battlefield as well.
When they saw the wreckage of the three off-road vehicles and Caspian’s injury, they were able to deduce
how intense the fight had been earlier.
“Lord Caspian, we, the Special Forces, have been ordered to ensure your safety!” The leader of the special
forces unit saluted Caspian.
“The enemy is hidden on both sides of the mountain. Get rid of them at once!” Caspian ordered.
“Yes, sir!” The special forces unit did not delay. They swiftly mounted a forceful attack on both sides.
Howls and cries of agony echoed through the mountains as Tigra’s Apex Legion came under heavy fire.
Tanks and missile launchers appeared as well, and another wave of fierce attacks was leveled at both
mountainsides.
In the end, the army arrived. They swiftly surrounded Caspian and protected him on all sides.
John followed closely behind.
When he saw Caspian’s wounded and bleeding arm, he was terrified and filled with remorse.
“Are you alright, Lord Caspian?” John checked anxiously.
“It’s fine. It’s just a scratch. You don’t need to make such a big deal out of it,” Caspian said indifferently.
“It is my fault that you got injured, Lord Caspian!” John said vexedly.
“You did well. The reinforcements came just in time. How did you know that I would be ambushed?”-
Caspian asked.
“Soon after you left, I received classified intelligence detailing the enemy’s plan to assassinate you. After
hearing that they intended to ambush you along the way, I immediately rushed over. Still, it was too late,”
John said with a look of regret.
“I see. Let’s not talk about it for now. Tell your people to stop advancing. The enemy must’ve been blown
The heavy bombardment had obliterated both mountainsides, and the enemy would have already been
decimated.
“Understood!”
John quickly gave the order. “Cease fire! Send people to canvas the area. Capture anyone who’s still alive!
We won’t show them any mercy!”
Upon receiving the order, John’s subordinates sent out people to search the mountains.
“Where’s the army doctor? Come over and tend to Lord Caspian’s injury!” John yelled after seeing how
serious Caspian’s arm injury was.
The army doctor ran over to Caspian. After a preliminary check, he said, “Lord Caspian, the bullet is
embedded too deeply. Thankfully, it didn’t hit your bone. I’ll administer anesthetic and take the bullet out
first.”
“No need. I’m in a rush. Just take the bullet out as soon as possible and bandage my arm,” Caspian
instructed.
“The bullet is too deep inside your arm. If I don’t administer anesthetic, you’ll faint from the pain!” the
army doctor exclaimed in shock.
“It’s fine. In the old days, people even chopped their limbs off without using anesthetic. If they can do it,
so can I. Don’t waste any more time. Hurry up and do it.” Caspian was getting impatient.
The sun had risen. He needed to go and pick Willow up.
If he used anesthetic now, half his b*dy would be numb. He did not like that sensation.
“Lord Caspian, under these circumstances, are you still going to hold your wedding as planned?” John
