Despite the casualties in this operation, Joey felt it was well worth it.
As inspectors, their duty was to protect the civilians of Diatoran.
If they were afraid of risking their lives, they wouldn't deserve to wear the uniform.
This rescue mission held profound significance.
If Diatoran couldn't protect their own people, they would be looked down upon by other nations.
It might even potentially invite further aggression!
"Inspector Joey, take them back first. It's too dangerous here. We need to return and join the battle," the captain of the dispatch team said.
"Alright. I hope you return victorious." Joey saluted them.
"Don't worry, we'll win!" the team responded in unison and returned the salute.
Afterward, they headed back to the war zone.
The rescued individuals with tears in their eyes finally felt the might of their homeland.
Joey watched as the dispatch team left and returned to the war zone.
Diatoran's naval forces were still in an engaged battle with Vadesia and Astronia.
Although Diatoran's strength was amazing, the other two countries were formidable as they launched a fierce counter-attack.
"Commander, all the abducted individuals have been rescued," John reported to Caspian.
"Good! Immediately use the missiles for long-range precision attacks. Have our forces withdraw to Diatoran waters to prevent unnecessary casualties," Caspian ordered.
Since these two nations had declared an all-out war against Diatoran, there was no need to hold back. Dragging things out with them would only increase casualties among Diatoran's forces.
"Understood!" John acknowledged.
Following Caspian's command, missiles were deployed to strike Astronia's and Vadesia's forces.
The launch silos in South Aridlands were ready, targeting the forces of the two nations. With Caspian's order, the missiles hidden in those secret launch silos began to launch!
In an instant, the missiles were airborne.
It was a sight most people would never witness in their lifetime.
At this point, Garthram had also entered a state of alert.
The citizens sensed the impending danger as they learned about the war between Diatoran and the two nations.
Diatoran always made their national affairs public to keep the citizens informed.
The media and television stations began reporting on the situation.
No one anticipated such a large-scale war.
The citizens were afraid. After all, Garthram was by the sea, making it the potential first target if enemy force landed. Following that, it would be Southlake City.
People of these two cities were in a panic at the moment.
Willow was working in Southlake Corporation with Zoey.
When they saw the news, they were both shocked.
"What's going on? Why is there a war?" Zoey asked in confusion.
"Exactly. I wonder how Caspian is doing. Is he involved in this war?" Willow murmured.
It occurred to her that the confidential information Caspian mentioned might be this.
She was concerned about his safety.
"Don't worry, Caspian is highly skilled. He'll be fine. Besides, he's a general officer, so he shouldn't be commanding on the front lines," Zoey reassured her.
Willow had disclosed Caspian's identity to Zoey, though neither of them knew that he wasn't a general officer.
The forces of Vadesia and Astronia were utterly defeated.
The few-foot-tall waves crashed in again and again.
In the face of Diatoran's attack, the two nations' battleships were sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Caspian ordered John to remain on standby as the first line of defense at sea.
Under no circumstances should other nations cross the coastline and land on Diatoran territory as that would lead to catastrophic consequences.
The leaders of Vadesia and Astronia were shocked to learn about the situation at sea.
Their carefully prepared forces were helpless against the missile assault.
Vadesia immediately issued an order for their war hero, Roberto Valez, to assume command and attack Diatoran.
Meanwhile, Astronia ordered their war hero, Viktor Obrien, to lead the three armies and wage war against Diatoran.
These two generals were extremely formidable, each having participated in thousands of battles.
This time, they would join forces and lead millions of soldiers to conquer Diatoran!
…
At the command center in South Aridlands, the commotion had not ended.
"Report! Vadesia and Astronia have ordered their war heroes, Roberto and Viktor, to lead their troops in an attack against Diatoran!" an intelligence officer hurriedly reported.
At the news, Caspian's expression tensed. "This battle is inevitable."
"Commander, Roberto and Viktor are both famous war heroes with illustrious achievements. Their combined strength poses a great threat to Diatoran!" Benjamin expressed concern.
"Shut up! Why praise them at such a moment! Are we afraid of them? They may be war heroes, but I'm the God of War! Watch as I crush them!" Caspian angrily retorted.
As the sole God of War in Diatoran and the leader of Five War Gods, Caspian had absolute confidence.
