The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 539

"In my opinion, you only need to deploy one corps. Your forces can join Ferb to be on standby at the airport for Lord Caspian!" Benjamin suggested.

Dax was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, Benjamin's idea matched Stephen's.

"I'm a bit worried. One corps might not withstand Quinton's army. He has a massive force of 200 thousand soldiers!" Dax urgently stated.

"But you cannot abandon the West Aridlands border. Once you lose too many forces, you won't be able to withstand Filren's invasion," Benjamin said.

Dax also knew that Benjamin's reasoning made sense. But what if the plan failed? Wouldn't he be a criminal?

"It's indeed challenging, but I can hold on for a while. However, for now, we must secure the airport. Only then Lord Caspian can land safely, and Quinton won't be able to leave Diatoran," Dax said.

"How about deploying two corps? This way, it won't affect the situation in the West Aridlands and will ensure enough forces to defend the airport." Benjamin offered a suggestion.

"Alright! I'll give the order immediately!" Dax said before he hung up the phone.

He immediately dispatched two corps to head to West Aridlands Airport and assist Ferb.

…

West Aridlands Airport.

After Ferb had seized control of the airport and set up the defense, Jake charged toward them with his forces.

As soon as they faced each other, a fierce battle erupted.

Fortunately, Ferb was well-prepared, and Jake was no match for him.

Since both were general officers, their forces were also similar in size.

However, despite Jake's prolonged attack, there was no progress. This news quickly reached Quinton's ears.

"Idiot! Jake is useless! After attacking for so long, he can't even win!" Quinton angrily exclaimed.

"General Hans, the West Aridlands Airport is a crucial location. What should we do now that we can't leave Diatoran?" a deputy asked nervously.

"Don't panic. Ferb is just a general officer. He only has 100 thousand soldiers. Send someone to kill him, and all is well!" Quinton said calmly.

"The Five War Gods and the soldiers know about our betrayal. They should know that the King is captured, too.

"Reinforcements are coming at us from all directions. With our limited forces, we can't spare anyone to kill Ferb!" an adjutant explained.

"I'll personally lead my troops to eliminate Ferb! As long as we take control of the airport, we can leave immediately!"

After saying this, Quinton didn't hesitate at all. He immediately assembled his troops and charged toward the airport.

…

At this moment, the two corps dispatched by Dax had arrived at Dimfell Passage.

To enter the West Aridlands War Zone, they had to pass through here.

However, Quinton had left one squad of his troops here.

The two corps under Dax launched a direct attack.

However, the terrain at the Dimfell Passage was treacherous, making it hard for them to gain victory.

Back at West Aridlands Airport, Ferb had defeated Jake's forces. But just as he thought he could catch a breath, Quinton arrived with a large force.

Ferb's soldiers had no time to rest. Immediately after the intense battle, they now had to face Quinton. The situation had become tricky for them.

Quinton was a senior general. Hence, his soldiers were elite with advanced weapons.

Ferb had already suffered some losses. Hence, confronting Quinton now was practically impossible.
