The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 541

"Commander Massey, could this be a trap set up by Caspian Lynch? He knew of our insufficient manpower at Tenby Passage but insisted we fight against the enemy's 200-thousand-strong army.

"This is mission impossible—a David and Goliath battle!" a subordinate lamented.

Logan asserted, "The King is in trouble. I'll save him even if it costs me my life."

"But Commander Massey, why would you stay loyal to the King after he exiled you to the border?

"If we face off the enemy now, only death awaits us. Why don't we surrender and pledge allegiance to Filren?" the subordinate suggested.

"You jerk! I might be in exile, but I'm still a Diatoranian at heart. I'm no traitor! One more word from you, and I'll make you suffer!" Logan bellowed.

The subordinate quivered fearfully and promptly shut up.

At the same time, Logan couldn't help but wonder if Caspian was truly his son. After a two-decade search, he finally got hold of some clue not long ago.

…

Quinton Hans urgently led his men to Tenby Passage, but along the journey, they were pursued by around ten enemy fighter jets.

Stunned by the situation, his subordinate gasped in panic. "General Hans, they've caught up with us. What do we do next?"

"Proceed at the quickest speed to Tenby Passage. The fighter jets won't attack us since their King is in our hands!" ordered Quinton.

At that moment, his priority was to keep the morale high.

"Roger that!"

Their sole hope lay in reaching Tenby Passage. Although the fighter jets refrained from attacking Quinton's men, their presence exerted constant pressure.

Quinton and his men hastened to Tenby Passage. Upon arrival, the army at the passage had fortified their defenses.

"Commander Massey, let me through. I can explain the situation to Filren, and I'll make sure you're granted a dukedom!" Quinton yelled at Logan.

"Quinton Hans, you treacherous villain! The Massey family has faithfully served the royalty for generations. We will never betray our country!" Logan retorted from the fort.

"So what? Just look at you now, you pathetic thing. Diatoran is now surrounded by enemies at all sides, and your King is in my hands. Your country is no more. You should switch your loyalty to Filren for your future," argued Quinton.

"I'm exiled to guard Tenby Passage because of a mistake I made. You have committed a great sin now by holding the King hostage. I'll promise you a dignified death if you're willing to change your ways!" Logan bellowed.

"Are you joking? Do you think you're my match with your measly ten thousand men? We have a 200-thousand-man army. Let me through, and I'll spare the lives of your men!" snapped Quinton.

He did not take Logan as a threat because he commanded ten times the amount of soldiers than Logan. All he needed to do was to leave Diatoran's territory as soon as possible.

He had no time to lose as the enemy's fighter jets had been tailing him. He worried that Caspian had arrived at West Aridlands.

It'd be best for him to leave Diatoran at the earliest. However, if he were to be caught in a battle with Logan's men, it'd take him some time to subdue the ten-thousand-men army.

"Quit the nonsense. I, Logan Massey, would rather die than join you in your treachery. You want to pass through Tenby Passage? Over my dead body!" Logan had chosen to delay Quinton's trip.
