The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 619

Viktor and the rest of the officers inside the room turned pale after listening to the report.

No one had imagined that Caspian's attack would be so terrifying.

Only a few thousand Astronian troops remained at this point.

One of the senior officers spoke up, "General, we should just surrender. There's no way we're capturing Willow at this point. And we don't have any way out of the city."

Another officer chimed in, "He's right. We've already lost. Surrendering is our only option."

"Caspian's troops are way too powerful. We need to surrender if we still want to live."

Viktor's men had already lost all hope as facing off against Caspian's 200 thousand men would only be certain death.

A strategic officer asked, "What are you waiting for, General? We should surrender now so that we can still have a chance to stay alive!"

Viktor asked, "We've been killing and looting throughout Southlake City for such a long time now. Do you think Caspian will spare us even if we surrender?"

"I've heard that Diatoran never tortures their prisoners of war. We might still be able to survive if we surrender now!"

"Yeah! The International Alliance will also make sure that we're treated well."

"We can buy time for His Majesty to continue the peace talks and get us out!"

The crowd began to discuss their survival.

Viktor explained, "After all that we've done, we won't be easily forgiven."

One of the strategic officers spoke up, "The International Alliance will definitely help us out since we're part of them. They won't just abandon us!"

Viktor was also afraid of death and was eventually convinced by the rest of his men. "Fine, then. We'll surrender."

He never imagined himself having to surrender and beg for mercy. He had had countless victories under his belt and yet he still had to suffer such a humiliating defeat against Caspian.

The crowd was overjoyed after receiving a confirmation from Viktor. They immediately threw down their weapons and ran out of the house.

"Stop the war! General Obrien has ordered us to surrender!"

"Stop shooting!"

The senior officers shouted as loud as they could.

Astronian soldiers immediately threw down their weapons and raised their arms after hearing the order to surrender.

Some even raised a white flag. Everyone wanted to live to see another day. They realized that they should just surrender now that the chance for victory was gone.

Viktor then made a call to Ted during the confusion.

Ted asked, "What is it, Viktor?"

"We've lost, Your Majesty. Only four thousand men remain."

"What? You're supposed to be Astronia's Champion! You brought hundreds of thousands of troops with you, and all that's left is a mere four thousand?"

Ted already expected for Viktor to lose the war since he couldn't manage to send reinforcements due to the distance. But he never expected the losses to be so massive.

Viktor explained, "Caspian's troops are way too powerful! Our troops aren't even a match!"

"Is Caspian truly so powerful?"

"Why didn't the International Alliance make a move? I can't fight back without any reinforcements here in Southlake City! All we can do now is surrender."

Ted complained, "You surrendered? What do you think is going to happen to your reputation as a Champion of Astronia? It's going to paint a bad light on Astronia as well!"
