The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 559

"Watch the Filrenian troops like a hawk. If they dare attack, we'll strike them from the back!" Caspian issued an order to his subordinates.

"Yes, sir!" an officer replied.

"Macy!" Caspian called.

"I'm here!" Macy walked over to stand in front of Caspian.

"Take the engineers with you. You guys will be burying grenades a mile behind the troops," Caspian said.

"Won't this cut off our escape route from the back, though? We won't have any way of retreating if we need to!" Macy said.

"We have no other choice at this point. We only have two routes we can take. Either we advance valiantly and kill our enemies, or we die in battle. There's no situation in which we'll need to retreat," Caspian said.

"Are we going to put our all into this, Lord Caspian?" Macy asked in surprise.

"Yes! Only by cutting off our escape route will everyone charge forward boldly. This battle is one we must win. We must not lose!" Caspian said with determination.

"Got it. If we bury grenades behind the troops, the Filrenian troops will be in for some trouble when they arrive," Macy said.

"Exactly. This is our gift for them to celebrate our first meeting," Caspian said with a laugh.

"Caspian, I have something to ask of you." Macy suddenly called Caspian by his name alone.

Even Caspian didn't realize that at first.

"What is it? You can just tell me about it." Caspian was very surprised to hear that Macy had something to ask of him.

"Caspian, come closer. I don't want anyone else to hear me," Macy said mysteriously.

"What are you doing? Do you not want to bury those grenades?" Caspian said exasperatedly. He still leaned closer to Macy, though.

Just as Caspian came closer, Macy suddenly kissed him on the cheek before running out of the room, face as red as a tomato.

Macy didn't know if she would come out of this battle dead or alive, and she didn't want to harbor any regrets—she had wanted to do this for a long time.

She had always admired Caspian greatly.

After Macy left the room, she and a squad of engineers buried grenades a mile behind the troops. These grenades would explode when the Filrenian reinforcements arrived, which would serve as a warning for the Diatoranian troops.

Dax didn't slack off. He stayed in the command center and formulated plans for the incoming battles. He also summoned some troops from other passages—the border of West Aridlands should not be breached at all cost.

The King was still in the West Aridlands War Zone. The King would be in danger if the defense here was breached.

At this moment, Toby led the soldiers stationed at West Fortress Gorge toward the West Aridlands War Zone at full speed.

He knew that the situation at West Aridlands was dire. The Filrenian reinforcements would arrive soon, which would put Caspian at a disadvantage. He had to lead his troops there within the shortest time possible!

…

Macy's squad had also made all preparations. They had buried over a thousand grenades in the course of two hours.

"Caspian, a total of one thousand and two hundred grenades were buried!" Macy reported to Caspian.

Something was different from before—she dared not look Caspian in the eye.

"You should call me Lord Caspian when in the army," Caspian said while looking at the time.

"Yes, Lord Caspian." Macy lowered her head. She had called Caspian by his name because it sounded intimate.

About two hours had passed since Caspian had talked to the King. The troops coming from West Fortress should be here soon, and the Diatoranian troops would launch a general offensive after that.

Caspian walked to stand in front of all the soldiers and shouted, "Soldiers, we will launch a general offensive soon. We have nowhere to retreat to. Either we defeat the Filrenian troops, or we die on the battlefield!"

At this moment, the soldiers in the armored battalion suddenly yelled, "The Diatoranian God of War will win every war!"

"The Diatoranian God of War will win every war!"

"I'll order a general offensive in five minutes, and you can order the fighter jets at the West Aridlands War Zone to take flight and start firing at the enemy!" Caspian said.

"That's great! I'll issue a command immediately so they can aid you on the battlefield," Balthazar said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The situation is dire here. So, I won't go on for any longer," Caspian said.

"Sure. I hope that you can succeed in repelling the enemy troops." Balthazar ended the call and issued a command to the West Aridlands War Zone immediately. "All fighter jets, take off now and head toward the border!"

More than a hundred fighter jets took off at the same time, heading toward the border in a powerful procession.

…

Caspian had his eyes on the time consistently. After five minutes had passed, he immediately ordered, "It's time to launch a general offensive. Attack, now!"

A cannon was fired into the air. The noise was so loud it shook the ground, giving the enemy a shock.

When Toby saw the cannonball in the air, he ordered immediately, "Attack now! Exterminate the enemy!"

The West Fortress troops attacked immediately, utilizing all sorts of heavy weaponry. The missiles were aimed toward the Filrenian troops.

Caspian didn't rush his soldiers to attack. He fired at the enemy from a long distance first, intending to send the enemy into a frenzy before taking the next step.

The enemy consistently kept tabs on Caspian. Their guns and weapons were all aimed at his troops.

Cassius's biggest enemy was Caspian, as far as he was concerned. They would be able to stand their ground as long as they held Caspian back.

Surprisingly, though, Diatoranian reinforcements started to attack them from the flank.

Missiles were fired everywhere and blew up the Filrenian base, causing panic among the Filrenian troops.

Cassius was consumed by panic. He ordered, “Attack the enemy at the flank first!”
