The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 603

"Step up patrols around the perimeter and send more people to protect me! Don't let unrelated individuals come near me!" Viktor instructed his chief of security.

"Yes, sir!" the chief responded.

"Champion, what about Mr. Archer…"

Nicholas was standing right behind them in this instant.

"Keep him away from me!" Viktor ordered.

He didn't want Nicholas to follow him around as he didn't trust him. After all, Nicholas was a Diatoranian. If he overheard the conversations between Viktor and his subordinates and then leaked the information, it would only put Viktor at a disadvantage.

"Mr. Archer, please keep your distance from our Champion!" the chief said.

Upon hearing this, Nicholas was completely flustered. He followed Viktor around because it was safer than being alone.

However, he didn't expect Viktor to not let him get close.

"Champion Viktor, I just insulted the spy. She must be hiding now. If I stay away from you, I'm afraid she'll assassinate me! So, let me stay with you," Nicholas pleaded.

"No! I need to command my troops to fight against Diatoran. You're a Diatoranian, so you absolutely can't be by my side," Viktor said.

As the Champion, Viktor had to see the bigger picture. Although Nicholas seemed to have pledged allegiance to him, he couldn't afford to trust Nicholas completely.

The more Nicholas wanted to be by his side, the more he needed to keep him away.

"But I've already defected to Astronia. I'm part of Astronia now," Nicholas said anxiously.

Viktor clearly didn't believe him.

"No matter who you are, you can't be this close to me. We're in the middle of a war, so you'd better leave." Viktor knew that a coward like Nicholas couldn't be a spy, but he still wanted to kick him out.

"You're just trying to get me killed, aren't you? What if Laina wants to kill me? What should I do?" Nicholas asked anxiously.

"Who do you think you are? Why would Laina want to kill a nobody like you?"

"I almost took away her virginity. She must want to tear me to pieces now," Nicholas answered.

"Don't worry, she won't kill you. If she does, she'll expose herself. She's not dumb enough to risk her own safety for someone like you. Right now, the person she wants to deal with the most should be me," Viktor analyzed.

Nicholas nodded at his words.

Indeed, his status couldn't be compared against Viktor. If Laina were to assassinate him, it would only expose herself and it wouldn't be worth it.

"Mr. Archer, you're most familiar with the Archer residence. You should know where Laina might be hiding. Go assist Kaizer in the search. As long as we capture her, we won't have to worry anymore," Viktor said.

"Alright!" Nicholas nodded.

He didn't dare to stay by Viktor's side for fear of angering him.

With that, Nicholas followed Kazier to begin searching the villa.

…

At the Hudson residence.

"General! Bad news! We're falling and can't hold on anymore! Diatoran's troops are about to attack!" A deputy hurriedly ran over to report.

"No matter what, we must hold on. Champion Viktor has sent his troops to support us," Robert said.

Once they collapsed, they were done for.

"When will they arrive? We really can't hold on anymore!" the deputy asked anxiously.

"It won't be long. I talked to Viktor on the phone just over ten minutes ago. His troops will arrive in 20 minutes," Robert answered.

Caspian and Phoenix Vanguard hadn't entered the battle yet.

Caspian was waiting for the perfect opportunity to lead his team into the battle and then capture Robert!
