The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 560

The enemy troops changed direction immediately, heeding Cassius' command. They were now surrounded by Diatoranian troops from three sides.

Seeing that the moment was now ripe, Caspian shouted immediately, "Fire! Charge!"

Right after that, Caspian's troops started firing with their heavy weapons as well. Missiles erupted within the Filrenian troops so suddenly that they couldn't find an opening to retaliate.

"Don't panic, guys! We just have to stand our ground!" Cassius quickly ordered.

However, his troops were completely engulfed in gunfire and unable to retaliate. How could they not panic and send themselves into a frenzy?

The consecutive bombings confused the Filrenian troops and made them disoriented. They had no idea how to retaliate at all.

Caspian didn't order his troops to charge. He wanted to suppress the enemy with artillery once before taking the next step.

Missiles were fired again and again, and the enemy troops were absolutely a mess while being fired at from three sides.

"Divide the troops into three groups now. You guys will split up and tackle the Diatoranian troops separately!" Cassius yelled at his deputy generals, who followed suit.

They led their soldiers and fought back.

More and more missiles were fired. Many deputy generals were blown to smithereens right after they charged. They didn't even get the chance to instruct their soldiers.

The remaining deputy generals returned to their squads and started fighting back, facing west, north, or east.

The soldiers' morale had been severely affected, so they weren't fighting valiantly.

The bombing was still going on. Caspian had already formulated plans for the next step. He would first lure the enemy out of their base and exterminate the troops in one go.

The Diatoranian troops were armed with heavy artillery, so they weren't in a rush to charge.

Missiles were fired round after round without pause. The Filrenian troops were utterly helpless against them.

Cassius felt extremely anxious upon noticing that countless soldiers among his troops had died or been injured. The higher-ups wanted them to stand their ground here for four hours, but they would probably be wiped out in an hour if the bombings persisted.

This was a surefire possibility—unless the reinforcements arrived on time.

Cassius immediately contacted Ernest Maher, who was the general leading the reinforcements.

"General Maher, how much more time does it take for your troops to arrive here?" Cassius asked hurriedly.

"It'll take about an hour and 50 minutes, General Latham. Why? Why do I hear sounds of artillery fire over there?" Ernest asked in shock.

"Caspian Lynch has launched a general offensive at our troops. We're surrounded by enemies from three sides and probably won't be able to counter them for long. Make your way here quickly!" Cassius said anxiously.

Ernest was even more shocked to hear that. "Weren't Lynch's troops behind you? Sure, there's also the Diatoranian troops at West Aridlands, but where did this third group come from?"

"I'm not sure, either. I think Diatoran sent reinforcements," Cassius said.

"How did they arrive so fast? We didn't acquire any intel about that, too," Ernest said.

"Let's not discuss that now. Make your way here as soon as possible, or my troops will be gone when you show up. Your arrival will be pointless in that case!" Cassius said panickedly.

"On it!" Ernest had his troops travel quicker after ending the call.

The Diatoranian troops were attacking from three sides, which sent the Filrenian troops into a frenzy. However, after regaining their composure, they launched an attack in retaliation, utilizing the terrain.
