The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 522

Benjamin declared, "Leave it to me, Caspian. I'll arrange for a group of special force members to weed out all the enemy spies and traitors within Southlake City!"

Caspian asked, "The inaction of the enemy's advance troops will be detrimental for us if it continues dragging on. Anyone have any ideas on how we can incite the war to begin?"

The crowd looked at each other in confusion as no one could come up with an answer.

Benjamin explained, "I believe Astronia and Vadesia are just waiting for Estrya and Filren to launch their attack before they join in the fight."

Caspian smiled and replied, "I think so as well. I plan to eliminate their advance troops now, before Estrya launches their attack. After that, we can even divide some of the manpower from South Aridlands to assist other places in need."

A general officer stood up to give his comments, "We can pretend to send reinforcements to West Aridlands. Our enemies might fall for it, thinking that we're thinning our numbers. They'll then begin the attack.

"With that, their submarines and battleships will finally be within range of our guided missiles!"

Caspian thought for a while and replied, "Our enemies wouldn't be so stupid to fall for that if we bring out just a small portion of our forces.

"But then again, we can't afford to move a large enough number to make it seem convincing either. Or we might not be able to defend ourselves when they do launch the attack."

"Then are we really just going to sit around and wait for our deaths?"

Caspian explained, "Of course not. There'll be a way out!"

"What kind of plan do you have in mind, Chief Commander?" Benjamin asked as he curiously scanned Caspian.

"We'll move a portion of our troops away and convince our enemies to begin the attack!"

Benjamin asked, "Where will the portion of troops be moved to?"

Caspian smiled. "To Necros. They'll serve as the reinforcements that Necros has been requesting for."

He had thought about the matter long ago.

Benjamin asked, "But our enemies are already right at the doorstep of Southlake City! Can we really afford to send our troops to aid Necros right now?"

"Don't worry. Their advance troops are only one-third of their total military power, and the bulk of their army is still in Necros. We have plenty of hidden guided missiles to deal with their advance troops."

"Caspian, the enemy's advance troops may be lesser in number, but they're still a force to be reckoned with. We might not have an absolute chance for victory if we pull away part of our troops for Necros," Benjamin explained his point of view as a fellow Champion of Diatoran.

Caspian spelled out his thoughts. "War is inherently unpredictable. It'll be far more dangerous if we wait for Estrya to strike. Any single line of defense being broken will be disastrous for Diatoran."

He understood Benjamin's perspective and considerations, but war was never so simple to begin with. Hesitation would only lead to worse outcomes.

"Estrya's forces will eventually appear on our eastern borders. East Aridlands may be in danger considering that their troops have been distributed to other places. We need to send reinforcements not only to Necros but East Aridlands as well."

The entirety of Diatoran was in a pretty bad spot, and they needed to make sure every step they took to protect the nation was the correct choice.

Caspian explained, "We can't focus solely on South Aridlands. The other borders also need our attention. It's pointless to secure victory on just the southern battlefield alone; we need to make sure all of Diatoran's borders never get broken into!"

Benjamin nodded his head. "Caspian is right."
