The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 521

Desmond reported, "Astronia's and Vadesia's advance troops are currently 200 nautical miles away from our range of fire. In addition, it seems that their peace talk with Necros has failed. Necros won't be able to hold them off until our reinforcements arrive."

"I see. We'll have to formulate a plan to assist Necros … Aside from that, we'll immediately launch the operation the moment the enemy troops enter our range of fire!"

Desmond continued, "You should return to South Aridlands to monitor the entire battle, Chief Commander. We'll be fine."

Caspian raised his hand and gestured at him. "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

He wasn't about to head into battle right away. He just wanted to show up on the front lines as the Diatoranian God of War to boost the morale of the army.

He couldn't afford to play the hero and fight at the forefront as it could be disastrous for Diatoran if something unforeseen were to happen to him.

It wasn't because Caspian was a coward, it was because his presence was needed to uphold the troops' morale as well as the safety of Diatoran as a whole.

He remained calm as the enemy's advance troops inched closer and closer.

He surveyed the coastline of Southlake City to confirm that all the soldiers were ready.

Guided missiles were also placed around the coast.

Caspian's plan was to begin the attack at the exact moment the enemy's advance troops arrived to catch them by surprise.

And as for Necros, he decided that dispatching a small army to assist them would be enough.

Caspian patrolled the coastline for around 30 minutes and was about to leave when Desmond ran up to him in a hurry. "Sir, the enemy's advance troops have stopped moving!"

Caspian frowned upon receiving the news and asked, "Could it be that our enemies have learned of our plan?"

Desmond nodded his head and answered, "It's possible!"

"Sylvia, I need you to stay here and finish the preparations for combat with Desmond. Macy, you come with me back to South Aridlands!" Caspian ordered as he turned to face Sylvia and Macy.

"Yes, sir!" Both of them nodded their heads and answered in unison.

Macy then escorted Caspian back into the vehicle.

Sylvia had already been itching to fight on the front lines anyway, so the new directives were good news for her.

Although Macy had also wanted to join the front lines, she much preferred being by Caspian's side as protecting the Diatoranian God of War was also a matter of great importance.

Caspian had his own plans in mind when he issued the orders.

He believed that Southlake City would be in good hands as both Sylvia and Desmond were powerful general officers.

Nobody knew what would happen now that the enemy's advance troops had stopped moving. He decided to station Sylvia by the coast as insurance.

Macy was also a powerful fighter, but she wasn't experienced in being a commander. She would prefer a mindless advance even in a large-scale operation. Caspian was also trying to protect her by bringing her back with him.

Both Macy and Caspian got into the same SUV and headed back to South Aridlands while being escorted by the armored battalion.

Macy spoke up, "Lord Caspian, I have some opinions regarding the war, if I may speak."

"Just speak your mind," Caspian replied.
