Caspian led an army of men in steel armor, along with two battalions under Dax. Although he was equipped with fewer than a hundred thousand men, his intimidating presence struck fear in Quinton's forces.
Caspian Lynch, or the Diatoranian God of War, was a famous name. A legend of Diatoran, he was simultaneously an enemy's worst nightmare.
Now turned rebels, Quinton and his men found themselves facing Caspian, their former ally, whose reputation alone instilled dread.
Caspian seemed to be holding a dagger in his hand. The glint on the blade was terrifying, as though it'd slice through one's neck in the next second.
The enemy had no idea what he was holding, but they could sense that it was a sharp and destructive weapon.
"Your Majesty, my apologies for arriving late," Caspian announced loudly upon seeing the King.
His booming voice sent shivers through everyone present.
"Lord Caspian, you're finally here! Rid us of the traitor Quinton Hans immediately!" The King, deeply moved by Caspian's presence, felt a wave of reassurance.
"Of course!" Caspian replied as he closed in with his army.
However, when he was within a mile, he signaled his forces to halt. He had to be cautious since the King was still in the hands of the rebels.
Meanwhile, armored and missile vehicles positioned themselves at the forefront, escalating the tension. Caspian's men were prepared to fight to the death against Quinton.
Noticing the huge toll on the army guarding Tenby Passage, Caspian marveled at the resilience of Logan's 20-thousand men, holding their ground until his arrival.
Before this, someone had approached Caspian to ascertain his family background. Caspian himself had also discreetly looked into the Massey Family. Despite not knowing if Logan was his father, he carried certain expectations.
The mystery of his lineage had troubled him for two decades, after all.
Logan was thrilled to see Caspian. With one look, he could tell that Caspian was his long-lost son. The two bore a striking resemblance to each other.
However, Logan soon looked away out of remorse. Due to difficult circumstances, he had dumped his few-month-old son by the steps of another family's home. The memory plagued Logan, who felt regretful of his actions.
At that moment, Caspian confronted Quinton. "Quinton Hans, has our King not treated you well? What did you gain from pledging your allegiance to Filren?"
"Caspian Lynch, you might be the Diatoranian God of War, but I do not fear you. Diatoran is faced with multiple threats, and its demise is almost guaranteed.
"Self-preservation is a priority. Betraying my country secures my future," argued Quinton with confidence, especially because he commanded more men than Caspian at the moment.
He had no option but to fight Caspian to the bitter end.
"Quinton Hans, Diatoran is rich with resources and talents. It's only a matter of time before we fend off the enemies.
