The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 494

Caspian's actions incited public outrage. There were many who were openly cursing him on the streets.

Willow would be upset if she knew that the commander was her husband. Besides, there was no way they could reveal Caspian's identity when the civilians of Southlake City were so agitated.

"How would I possibly know about the affairs in the military?" Willow asked puzzledly.

She would never imagine that the commander who was being hurled with insults by tens of thousands of people was her own husband.

"The commander's identity will definitely be revealed once the war ends," Sylvia explained.

"Alright then. Can you tell me about Caspian's current situation? I'm more worried about him," Willow questioned.

"Rest assured, Willow. Caspian has been through hundreds of battles. He'll definitely be safe," Sylvia replied reassuringly.

…

At the same time, the military troops in Southlake City had begun to station themselves at the coastlines.

The senior general, John Anderson, had led the withdrawal of the naval troops. The cities by the coastlines would become a strategic location for the upcoming battle.

The first commander to be stationed at Southlake City was Desmond Patten. He was a renowned general officer in South Aridlands. This time, Caspian appointed him as the commander of the vanguards.

Desmond had once wiped out tens of thousands of the enemy's forces with only a thousand soldiers. That battle earned him great fame.

Once he stepped foot into the city, he immediately went to the front lines. Desmond began to command troops at the coastline that was a few hundred miles long.

At the same time, the Champion of Central Plains, Joseph Welch, had also arrived with reinforcements.

A portion of the soldiers were air-dropped directly into the city. There were even fighter jets that were in charge of transporting several thousand soldiers to Southlake City.

Time was of the essence. Diatoran had mobilized all resources to be used in combat.

The entire city was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. The streets were filled with the latest weapons, tanks, and rocket cars. All of the citizens in Diatoran were paying attention to the war.

However, they were all furious upon hearing the retreatment of the naval forces.

As they began to hurl insults at the commander, even some of the media were stepping out to condemn Caspian.

…

"Commander, the retreat of the naval forces has caused the discontent of the public. Many of them are berating you. Should we intervene in the matter?" Benjamin asked.

They were currently in South Aridlands' command center.

"Looks like they don't know that I'm the commander of the war," Caspian stated.

"Yes, sir. Although the citizens have no idea, the enemy's forces are well aware of your identity. As the war progresses, sooner or later, your identity will be exposed …" Benjamin replied worriedly.

"It's fine. I don't care about such things. Who's the one commanding the battle—me or them?" Caspian asked disdainfully.

As the Diatoran God of War, it would be too pathetic if everyone could figure out what he was thinking.

"I understand. It's fine as long as you don't take it to heart." Benjamin nodded.

"As long as we achieve victory, it's fine if they curse at me. I'm just worried whether the enemy will fall into our trap. Will they attack from Southlake City's coastline?" Caspian continued.

"Southlake City and Gartham are the closest cities to the sea. But in comparison, Southlake City is more suitable for them to land. They'll definitely choose Southlake City!" Benjamin said.

Caspian was in deep thought. The matter wasn't as simple as it seemed. The scale of the operation was unprecedented.
