The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 555

"Let me go! I want to go back to Stewart Residence! You're all bastards! Let me go!" Alicia screamed till her voice was hoarse, but the men standing guard outside weren't moved at all.

In the living room, Grant asked, "How should we establish contact with Vadesia, Richard?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Leave it to me. I've already agreed with Kenzie, a secret agent from Vadesia," Richard said.

"I didn't expect you to have already defected before this!" Grant said, surprised.

"I'm doing this for the sake of the family, Grandpa! Misfortune will befall us if we don't plan for our future!" Richard answered.

"You're right. Has Kenzie said anything yet?" Grant asked.

"Of course. He welcomes us with open arms. He's also promised me that Vadesia will support the Hudson family and ensure we establish a stable footing in Southlake City after the country achieves victory," Richard said happily.

"Great. Keep in contact with him. You should also tell him about the family's stance," Grant ordered.

…

At this moment, Southlake City was in chaos. The streets were filled with people hauling suitcases.

Diatoran had also made strategic plans and had sent out many vehicles to transfer the Diatoranians.

As the enemy ships came closer, the sounds of cannons firing could be heard outside Southlake City. The soldiers stationed at sea fought against the enemy troops, putting their lives on the line. Southlake City was already caught in the crossfire.

As the chief of the Inspector General's Office in Southlake City, Joey had no plans to leave the city.

Every employee working for the Office was carrying out their own responsibilities.

As a general officer, Sylvia was organizing a defense along the shoreline. She was already prepared to fight to the end with her life on the line.

150 thousand soldiers that had been transferred here from the Central Plains War Zone were now under her command.

"Soldiers! The enemy troops are now launching a general offensive. It's time for us to protect our homes and defend our country! We must counter the enemy troops and guard our land!" Sylvia shouted passionately.

"Protect our homes! Defend our country!" the men shouted in unison.

As the enemy troops came closer and closer, many missile vehicles and fighter jets in Southlake City were deployed. The defense of the enemy troops was also very sturdy, though. Many missiles that were fired were blocked.

Thanks to the efforts of the Diatoranian troops, the enemy could only advance at a slow speed.

At this moment, a battle commenced in the air. Fighter jets took off continuously from South Aridlands into the sky, where they attacked enemy vessels.

The citizens of Southlake City were even more terrified at the sight. They wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.

…

The Stewarts were almost done packing up. However, Henry looked distracted as if he had something on his mind.

He had promised Richard and Nicholas that he would convince his family to defect to Vadesia, but his family was opposed to it. He had made a decision, though. He would defect to Vadesia by himself even if his family had expressed their disapproval.

He thought Diatoran had little chance of winning. Only by defecting to Vadesia would he get a chance at survival.

However, his family objected to that and was preparing to leave Southlake City. They had also asked him to come along.

But Henry didn't want to. He was constantly thinking of ways to sneak away without anyone noticing.

"I wonder how the preparations are going on Alicia's side," Henry's mother, Melinda, asked.

"You can call her and ask about it," Donald said.

"That's a good idea." Melinda nodded.
