The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 538

Ferb knew that West Aridlands Airport was a crucial place at the moment.

Since the airport was now occupied by Ferb's troops, it would be extremely difficult for Quinton to take Balthazar out of Diatoran.

To save Balthazar, they needed to keep Quinton in the West Aridlands.

…

Quinton was about to head to the airport with Balthazar and Lyndon.

Just then, an adjutant rushed over and urgently reported, "Report! Ferb has taken control of the West Aridlands Airport."

"What? Why did Ferb suddenly go to the airport?" Quinton was surprised.

"We just received news that Ferb and his 100 thousand troops have taken control of the airport," the adjutant replied.

"Damn it! Didn't I make him go to the border? Why did he suddenly come back?" Quinton asked with some confusion.

"I'm not sure. Ferb was heading to West Aridlands initially, but he suddenly turned back halfway," the adjutant reported.

Upon hearing the news, Balthazar also felt something was amiss.

He had instructed Ferb to come and rescue him, so why did Ferb go to the airport?

At that moment, Balthazar suddenly understood what happened. It had to be Caspian's orders!

Without Caspian's command, Ferb would never dare to change his strategy.

Initially, when Balthazar was surrounded at the residence, he urgently ordered Ferb to lead his troops back.

Now that he was captured and had no defending army left, Ferb's return would be pointless as his forces were only half of Quinton's.

Caspian must've considered this situation and immediately changed the strategy.

"Call Jake immediately and tell him to reclaim West Aridlands Airport!" Quinton angrily ordered.

Jake Wynder was a general officer and Quinton's trusted aide. His troops were stationed near West Aridlands Airport.

Quinton's plan to take Balthazar out of Diatoran by air was now ruined.

He couldn't go by land or water as it was too slow, and anything could happen.

"Understood!"

Upon receiving the orders, Jake immediately led his troop and headed to West Aridlands Airport.

The news of Quinton's betrayal and the capture of Balthazar had also reached the border.

The West Aridlands Champion, Dax, got wind of the situation.

"How dare Quinton, that jerk, touch the King! Is he tired of living?" Dax exclaimed in anger.

"Champion, the border situation is critical. With the King being captured, what should we do next?" a deputy asked.

"Since the King is captured, the immediate priority is to rescue His Highness. Issue an immediate order to assemble all troops and save the King!" Dax instructed.

When Staff Officer Stephen Xinz of West Aridlands heard this, he immediately said, "Champion, we absolutely cannot do that!"

"Officer Xinz, what's wrong with me wanting to save the King?"

"The situation is tense between us and Filren. If we withdraw now, we will simply be letting the enemy in. By then, Diatoran will be in danger!" Stephen said.
