The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 518

"We're giving you three minutes to clear the path. Otherwise, you'll be charged with the obstruction of official duties!" Sylvia shouted as soon as she got out of the vehicle.

Every second was critical. They could not afford to lose their valuable time on senseless matters.

If they were to lose out on the golden timing for the battle, they might have to suffer irreparable consequences.

Caspian was gracious to these people because they were clueless about the exact situation.

Moreover, most of them were ardent youths with good intentions. It just so happened that Richard and Nicholas had taken advantage of their zeal.

Caspian gave them three minutes because he knew that it would take some time for thousands of people to leave the place. The amount of time given was ample.

If they were ruffians, Caspian would have already ordered for the armored car to run them over.

"Come out, Caspian! Explain yourself!"

"That's right! If you've got the balls, you'd better come out right now! What are you hiding in there for?"

"I can't believe he's the chief commander. He can't even face us!"

Richard, Nicholas, and the likes were starting to incite the masses again.

All they wanted was for Caspian to be destroyed. They had hated him for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to bring him down.

Their goal was to have the people of Diatoran cast him aside so that he would have to resign from his position as the chief commander.

As the Diatoran God of War and also the head of the Five War Gods, however, Caspian would never let himself be fooled by the goading of these people.

The reason he remained silent was not because he was afraid.

He was worried that there might be secret agents hiding among the crowd and that they would try to assassinate him once he got down from the vehicle. When that happened, there would definitely be more unwanted bloodshed.

He did not want a tragedy like this to happen and had thus chosen to endure.

"Caspian, we heard that the advanced troops of our enemies are already approaching Southlake City. You sure are doing one hell of a fine job!"

"Are you thinking of surrendering? How ridiculous!"

"Yeah! How did someone like you become the chief commander?"

"Caspian! Get down here if you can!"

…

The civilians were becoming more and more upset. They had even begun to insult Caspian.

As the people's rude remarks were starting to cross the line, Sylvia took her gun out.

The armored battalion followed suit and drew their weapons as well, taking aim at the civilians.

"You have one minute left. You'd better leave immediately. Otherwise, you'll be labeled as criminals obstructing military affairs.

"I'll then have reason to suspect that you're the enemies' agents, and I'll kill you without mercy!" Sylvia roared.

The civilians stumbled two steps backward. They were startled by the sight of the weapons.

Even though Richard and Nicholas were also afraid, they did not want to let this golden opportunity slip.

They believed that Sylvia and the others would never open fire at the civilians.

"Everybody, don't panic! We're all good citizens. They wouldn't dare to open fire at us!" Richard yelled from among the crowd.

"He's right! It's not like we're breaking the law. They have no right to shoot us!"

"There are so many people present. If they have the audacity to shoot me, Caspian will no longer be the chief commander!"
