The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 542

As long as Quinton successfully brought the Diatoranian King to Filren, Filren would easily subjugate the Five War Gods. It would be a huge win for Filren.

Amid this critical time, Quinton's forces initiated an assault on the city wall. The two opposing armies engaged in close combat, and Logan, leading his troops, fought fiercely against the rebels.

The King was greatly moved at the sight of a bloodied Logan who still gave his best to fight. "Logan Massey is a loyal commander. After this war, I will duly reward him."

Observing the deteriorating situation, the fighter jets soaring above promptly relayed the alarming developments to Caspian.

Though Caspian was six miles away from Tenby Passage, the passage was on the verge of falling into Quinton's hands. He reluctantly commanded the fighter jets to target Quinton's forces while ensuring the safety of the King.

With that, the pilots started bombing their enemies. Quinton's army, which had proceeded smoothly a minute ago, was bombed into oblivion by the city wall.

Since the King remained in Quinton's hands, the fighter jets had to fire on the men by the city wall. It wasn't the most effective strategy, but it at least provided much-needed relief in the crisis.

Witnessing the fighter jets retaliating, Logan and his troops gained renewed vigor, charging at the enemy with full force.

Aware that the jets refrained from targeting him to avoid harming the King, Quinton decided to stay close to the latter for safety. He ordered his forces to launch missiles at the fighter jets, successfully taking down a considerable number.

Meanwhile, Logan and his men had successfully taken out the enemies who had breached the city wall.

Quinton, aware that Caspian was nearing, understood the increasing danger. His fate would be sealed if he failed to pass through the Tenby Passage.

To succeed, he'd have to seize Tenby Passage before Caspian arrived. Left with no choice, he devised a plan and commanded, "Bring the King to the front! Continue the assault on the city walls!"

His men understood his motive. With the King as a shield, Logan's forces would hesitate to retaliate, and even the fighter jets would exercise caution in their attacks.

"You cowards! Seize the Tenby Passage through your own strength! Using the King as a shield is an act of cowardice," Lyndon barked at the sight of the King being brought to the frontline, but his protests fell on deaf ears.

Following closely behind the King, Quinton knew that the close distance would ensure his personal safety. The rest of his men followed suit behind the King.

"Halt! Do not harm the King!" Logan shouted when he saw the King being positioned at the forefront.

The army guarding the passage dared not use heavy artillery against their enemy, and the fighter jets suspended their attacks. The sudden turn of events caught them by surprise.

"Do not cease the attack because of me. Under no circumstances should you let the rebels pass!" the King exclaimed, seeing his forces come to a standstill. Despite his commands, Logan's forces hesitated, fearing harm to the King.

Even the pilots in the fighter jets overheard the King's impassioned plea, but none resumed the attacks, afraid of being labeled criminals for accidentally causing the King's death.

"Logan Massey, this is an order! End me!" the King thundered at Logan, anxious that Quinton would escape unscathed if Logan dragged his feet.

"Your Majesty, I cannot comply! Forgive me for not following your order," Logan responded.
