"Caspian willingly made a risky move. He's not known as the Diatoranian God of War for nothing, after all.
"Nevertheless, the Diatoranians barely have any troops left in the West Aridlands War Zone, and the King of Diatoran is there as well," Ernest remarked.
"If we deploy our troops to West Fortress Gorge, we can use the gorge to invade the West Aridlands War Zone and capture the King!"
The deputy general immediately exclaimed, "Sir, we'll definitely be able to defeat Caspian and seize West Aridlands this time!"
"If we can capture the King of Diatoran, we can even conquer the entire Diatoran!" Ernest added in excitement.
Thus, without even a moment of hesitation, Ernest deployed over 60 thousand soldiers to besiege West Fortress Gorge.
Meanwhile, he led the remaining 20 thousand soldiers over to Cassius to provide reinforcements for the troops there.
…
Over at the border of West Aridlands, Cassius' troops had been forced to scatter after being targeted by heavy gunfire. They could no longer fight back.
This was the moment Caspian had been waiting for. After telling the jets to stand down, he had Dax's and Toby's troops launch an assault on enemy forces.
Meanwhile, Caspian and his regiment also charged into battle.
The soldiers of Diatoran rushed forward with great fervor.
Meanwhile, Filrenian soldiers had dodged into the trenches to evade the attacks. When they heard the thundering battle cries, they trembled in fear.
The earlier attack had decimated half of their forces, and by the time they came back to their senses, the Diatoranian army was charging at them from three directions.
The Filrenian soldiers immediately jumped out of the trenches to fight back.
Gunshots filled the air as Diatoranian soldiers raised their machine guns and fired at the enemy.
The soldiers of Filren who had just scrambled out of the trenches immediately collapsed to the ground without even getting the chance to defend themselves.
Caspian and his troops started an intense battle against the Filrenian army.
As the Diatoranian God of War, Caspian didn't charge into enemy territory. He hung back slightly to oversee the battle, and Macy stuck close to him at all times to protect him.
Ambushed from three sides, the soldiers of Filren were in a perilous situation.
Cassius, who was hiding underground, was terrified by the roars and howls he heard from the battlefield.
"Come. Let's head up and see what the situation's like," Cassius instructed.
With his deputy general protecting him, Cassius rushed out onto the battlefield.
As soon as he emerged from his dugout, he saw the Diatoranian army rapidly approaching.
Filren's forces were being forced to retreat as they couldn't put up a fight.
"Hold your ground! Don't you dare retreat!" Cassius bellowed.
However, the Filrenian soldiers could only think of one thing—to flee for their lives.
"I'll kill any soldier who runs from the fight!" Cassius roared. If this situation continued, Filren would soon be defeated.
Thus, he took his gun and fired at the retreating soldiers.
After a series of rapid gunfire, all of the retreating soldiers were shot down.
Yet, despite Cassius' brutal decision, the soldiers continued to flee. They were far too consumed by terror to care.
Meanwhile, Dax was charging over with his soldiers, and Filren's troops were caught off guard.
Dax swiftly started firing at the fleeing enemy, and soon, the panicked Filrenian soldiers fell to the ground, howling in pain.
"Kill them all!" Dax shouted as he led his soldiers into combat.
