The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 523

Benjamin nodded and said, "Luckily, we've already sent some of our men back to East Aridlands, or the east might've been done for."

"It'll take our men at least 24 hours to make it to East Aridlands from sea. I'm afraid they might not make it in time," Caspian replied with a worried expression.

"East Aridlands still have quite a lot of troops. Keith will be fine even without our reinforcements. You don't have to worry too much, Caspian."

"Alright then. Give a call to Keith and inform him to begin preparations for war and to defend East Aridlands until reinforcements arrive."

Caspian then looked back at Benjamin and continued, "Do you wish to return to North Aridlands? It's your territory, after all."

Benjamin calmly replied, "There's no need for that. I believe in Ziko's abilities. Besides, I'm not worried since he has received your guidance."

Caspian looked back at the crowd. "Now that North, East, and West Aridlands are all facing imminent danger, we'll also need to be on standby at all times."

Everyone nodded their heads as they realized the urgency of the current situation.

Caspian decided not to return to Southlake City after the meeting and just remained in the command room.

Macy remained by his side, as she would just follow him wherever he went anyway.

Benjamin went on to carry out Caspian's orders. He hand-picked a few special force members to form a team that would go into Southlake City to clean up any enemy spies.

The team was named Task Force Rose, due to the team consisting of only women.

The leader of the team was a woman named Laina Barnes.

She was only 21 years old and had already become a general officer of Diatoran. Now, she was also the leader of the newly formed Task Force Rose.

…

Meanwhile, in Southlake City, Kenzie, Richard, and Nicholas were having a conversation in a hidden abandoned factory.

Kenzie didn't expect much from the other two as they weren't powerful individuals themselves.

Both Richard and Nicholas were just simple playboys and couldn't possibly hold a candle to Caspian.

Not even a supreme grandmaster would be able to assassinate Caspian, so Kenzie never expected to gain much information from the two of them.

But they still had their uses.

Kenzie had researched about the Stewart family and realized that Richard was Willow and Caspian's brother-in-law.

"Oh yeah, you can bring in more people if anyone's interested. So long as they can contribute, of course," Kenzie explained.

He also knew about Henry being Willow's cousin. With Willow officially distancing herself from the entire Stewart family, Henry was the only person left who could approach her without rousing any suspicion.

It was unfortunate that Henry wasn't here today to join in their conversation.

Being able to extract any information from Willow would help Vadesia with the war.

Richard and Nicholas looked at each other and nodded their heads.

The reason why Kenzie had sought out the two of them was due to their affluence and power within Southlake City. There was also the possibility that they might know other people who may prove useful for Kenzie to expand the rebel force and dismantle Southlake City from within.
