The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 517

Upon returning to the villa, both went back to their respective rooms to resume their slumber.

Caspian was afraid that Willow would have awoken. Thankfully, she was still fast asleep.

Nothing happened all night.

In the morning, Caspian received the latest news saying that Vadesia and Astronia's negotiations with Necros seemed to have fallen through.

The three countries became entangled in a dispute as Necros refused to open up a passage for them.

Necros was no fool. They were co-dependent on Diatoran. If anything happened to Diatoran, their country would be in imminent danger as well.

Immediately, Caspian called Sylvia and Macy over. He planned to check on the situation at the coastline of Southlake City. He would head over to Necros in person if the situation called for it.

"I'll wait for you, Caspian. You must be careful," Willow yelled.

"Don't worry, I'll be sure to return home safely," Caspian said before turning around to get into the armored car.

With the imminence of war, he could no longer afford to worry about his personal feelings.

Once Astronia and Vadesia broke through Necros' line of defense, they would be in the vicinity of Southlake City.

By then, the entire Southlake City would become very dangerous. Caspian could definitely have Willow transferred to Dhord City as it was safer there.

However, the people would not take this news well as Willow was his wife. Once the news spread, it would definitely cause them to panic.

For that reason, he had Willow continue staying in Southlake City.

Even though he had brought Sylvia and Macy with him, he left dozens of armored guards in Southlake City to protect Willow.

Now that the war was coming, he needed Sylvia and Macy to be on the front line. They were his best fighters.

To have them stay back to protect Willow would be a waste of their talent.

Willow and Zoey stood outside the villa as they watched Caspian's car leave.

…

At this very moment, some troops from Astronia and Vadesia decided to cross Necros by using submarines.

Necros was a small country that was easy to deal with. They did not want to spend a second more on Necros as their ultimate target was Southlake City.

The advanced troops of Astronia and Vadesia used their radars to detect all the bombs that had been placed by Diatoran on the seabed. They managed to get through successfully without detonating the bombs.

After all, the technology of these countries was very advanced as well.

Instantly, news about the armies of Astronia and Vadesia appearing on the coastline spread across Southlake City.

The entire Southlake City was plunged into chaos. Some of the more timid ones even fled the city.

As the armored vehicles passed through the streets of Southlake City, Caspian saw a lot of people holding banners on the street. They seemed to be very emotional.

"Caspian, the chief commander of South Aridlands is a coward!"

"The chief commander backed down before the war! Replace him!"

"Too cowardly to fight! Replace him! Replace him!"

"The disgrace of Diatoran!"

…

The Stewart family exposed Caspian's identity as the chief commander who ordered the naval retreat.

Like a stone that disturbed an otherwise peaceful lake, a ripple effect was created.

Many knew that Astronia and Vadesia were drawing near to Southlake City. For that reason, they began to take it to the streets and demand for the chief commander to be replaced.

They were not concerned with whatever a "Diatoran God of War" was. They would support anyone as long as that person could protect them.
