Caspian's current role as the commander-in-chief was not aimed at provoking a war.
He would prefer to resolve issues peacefully, but he wouldn't hesitate if the other party was unyielding.
"Understood!" John understood the gravity of the situation and chose to follow Caspian's orders.
…
On the sea, the cruise ship of Vadesia was moving closer to the exercise fleet.
Joey and her team continued the pursuit.
During this whole time, both parties were continuously combating.
Many were hit on the cruise ship, but their speed of changing subordinates was quick.
The inspectors' speedboats were small in size, fast, and coming from all directions, so they managed to deal considerable damage to the opposing forces.
After a fierce battle, the firepower on the cruise ship of Vadesia diminished.
Just as Joey and the others were about to catch up, Vadesia's front lines suddenly opened fire at them.
Screams echoed, but they were drowned out by the sounds of waves.
The inspectors on the speedboats were utterly defenseless.
This sudden turn of events caught Joey off guard. She hadn't expected Vadesia's front lines to attack them!
When Diatoran's front lines saw this, they grew furious and requested permission to retaliate.
"Commander, Vadesia has opened fire. Please give the order!" John observed the situation and promptly asked for orders.
Caspian was witnessing everything through the satellite footage. He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Issue a warning to Vadesia. Ask them to cease fire or face severe consequences!"
He wouldn't tolerate them any longer as he had endured enough. Since they had taken the initiative to open fire, there was no need for Diatoran to continue tolerating.
A warning was issued first. If Vadesia refused to cease fire, the next step would be a huge war!
"Understood!
"Vadesia military, cease fire immediately!
"Vadesia military, cease fire immediately!
"Otherwise, Diatoran will retaliate!"
The loud voice echoed across the open sea.
However, Vadesia forces paid no heed to them and continued the assault.
Under the heavy firepower, Joey and her team were helpless.
"Retreat!" she ordered.
She wasn't foolish. She knew that if they continued to fight, her team would soon be wiped out.
The inspectors promptly began to retreat, but Vadesia's forces were relentless and persisted in their attack.
Actually, Vadesia had intended to engage in a large-scale war with Diatoran, but they lacked a suitable reason.
When John saw this, he contacted Caspian once again.
"Commander, the enemy force is showing no intention of stopping. What should we do?" John urgently inquired.
Caspian had witnessed everything and erupted in anger, "Take action!"
"Yes!" John responded with excitement and immediately issued the order.
Following his command, Diatoran's military launched a powerful counter-attack.
All heavy weapons and fighter jets were deployed.
Witnessing this, Vadesia also began employing large-scale weapons.
Astronia became involved in the battle.
Submarines and bombs were brought into play.
Intense explosions happened in the sky, the sea's surface, and underwater.
Waves several feet high were created.
