The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 536

"Your Highness, you go first. Don't worry about me!" Lyndon urged.

The enemy was catching up, and the only thing he could do now was to buy time for the King.

"No. I'm not familiar with the secret passage. You must go with me." Balthazar knew that if Lyndon stayed behind to fight the rebels, his fate would be death. So, he came up with an excuse to have Lyndon follow him.

"Alright, Your Majesty. Let's go out together!" Lyndon nodded.

He couldn't leave the King alone in such an unfamiliar place.

Balthazar was a middle-aged man. Although he had a certain level of strength, he couldn't compete against the youngsters.

After running for a while, he began to pant.

"Your Majesty, let me carry you on my back!" Lyndon urgently said as he squatted down.

Balthazar didn't hesitate and climbed onto Lyndon's back.

Lyndon was the chief of guards and an innate grandmaster. Hence, carrying Balthazar was nothing much to him.

With Balthazar on his back, Lyndon rushed madly through the secret passage.

The rebels chased relentlessly, but they couldn't catch up with his pace.

When Lyndon brought Balthazar to the exit of the secret passage, he opened the mechanism.

The stone door slowly opened, but the footsteps and shouts from behind were getting closer. Both Lyndon and Balthazar were anxious.

The stone door was only half open when Lyndon rushed out with Balthazar on his back.

They finally came out, only to find the rebels had already surrounded them outside.

Quinton personally led the troops and waited outside!

Seeing this, Lyndon and Balthazar knew that they couldn't escape.

They were trapped with enemies on both sides. Escaping seemed almost impossible.

"Your Majesty! I've been waiting here for a long time. With gunshots everywhere, I suggest it's better for Your Highness to come with me to avoid any accidents," Quinton said with a smile.

Balthazar remained composed. He stared at Quinton and asked, "Quinton, Diatoran has never mistreated you. You're a senior general and a step away from being a champion. Why would you betray the country?"

"Your Highness, the current situation of Diatoran is very clear. Enemies have surrounded us from all four directions, and we won't last long. Resistance is pointless.

"As long as you go with me to Filren, not only can you survive, but you can even assume a position even if Diatoran falls," Quinton explained.

"Foolish! I'm the King of Diatoran. How could I join Filren? Diatoran is vast and rich, with outstanding talents. We can definitely repel the enemies!" Balthazar said firmly.

"Your Highness, it seems like you're not clear about the current situation.

"Even if Diatoran has many talented individuals, it doesn't matter because Astronia, Vadesia, Estrya, and Filren have launched an attack on us at the same time. It may not be now, but we eventually will lose!" Quinton said.

"Shut up! Quinton, you're a traitor. I'll give you a chance now. I'll forgive you if you surrender immediately!" Balthazar said fiercely.

"Your Highness, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? My actions are enough to be executed a hundred times. I have no other choice now," Quinton said with a sinister look.

Now, he had no way out.

"Quinton, you're a traitor. I'll kill you today!" Lyndon picked up the gun in his hand, preparing to shoot.

However, Quinton's subordinates were already on guard.

Although Balthazar was surrounded, he still possessed an imposing air. The rebels, who were already uneasy, were stunned by his shout.

At this moment, Balthazar suddenly took out a dagger from his waist and placed it at his own neck.

Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked.

Quinton's plan was to capture Balthazar alive and then hand him over to Filren.

If Balthazar died, how could he negotiate with Filren? How could he threaten the Five War Gods?

"Your Highness! You can't!" Lyndon was extremely frightened when he saw that Balthazar was about to take his own life.

"I am the king of the country. I won't be a hostage in the enemy country!" Balthazar had accepted death as his fate.

He knew that if he was captured, the Five War Gods would be threatened, and Diatoran would be in danger by then.

"Your Highness! Don't! I'll rescue you," Lyndon said urgently.

"Don't stop me. If I'm captured by Filren, the Five War Gods will be in a bind. If I die here, Diatoran's millions of brave warriors will definitely fight to the end! Even jerks like Quinton won't escape!" Balthazar said indignantly.

"Your Highness, why are you forcing me to the extreme?" Quinton shook his head.

"Quinton, you jerk! Everyone in Diatoran will despise you. You're not worthy to be a Diatoranian!" Balthazar said angrily.

"If you die now, Lyndon will die, too. I won't harm him if you're willing to go with me. I don't need to elaborate on which choice is smarter, right?" Quinton knew that Balthazar cared deeply for his subordinates, so he used Lyndon's life to threaten him.

"Quinton, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Balthazar's face darkened.

"Your Highness, how can you say that? I'm just thinking about your well-being," Quinton answered. "Please, Your Highness, come with me!"
