The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 631

Upon hearing Balthazar's words, everyone was in shock. They did not expect Balthazar to have such ambitions: he wanted to expand the territory of Diatoran!

"Your Majesty, Diatoran is very far away from Vadesia and Astronia. We might be thrown into dire straits if we attack these four countries at the same time!"

"He's right! Only Estrya is nearer to us. Filren is far away from us, too. We'll be met with multiple difficulties if we fight countries a long distance away from us."

"Everyone has witnessed the damage brought by the battle held in Southlake City. Now that the situation has finally calmed down, I think we shouldn't start another war. Otherwise, it'll bring about a lot of deaths and casualties."

Several generals expressed their opinions quickly. Everyone found them to be sound. Diatoran still had not recovered from the previous battles, and deploying troops to fight in another war now would be too high a risk.

"The three of them gave sound perspectives. How about the others?" Balthazar asked.

Senior General John Anderson suddenly piped up, "It's my personal opinion that these four countries harbor nefarious motives toward us. Even if we don't attack them, they'll do so after they regroup and recover.

"I think that this is an opportunity that's really hard to come by for us. We should make use of the advantageous situation we're in now after our recent wins and strike and wipe these countries out!"

"We're in high spirits now, that's true, General Anderson. Attacking four countries at the same time is still somewhat difficult, though. If they band together against us again, Diatoran might collapse!" a high-ranking official said.

Upon hearing his words, everyone thought about it seriously. Attacking four countries was a bold proposal. A slight misstep and Diatoran would be plunged into a situation beyond saving.

"Your Majesty, Diatoran has just achieved an impressive victory, and we've managed to kill Robert Valez and Viktor Obrien. Both Astronia and Vadesia don't hold a candle to us.

Estrya and Filren are also nothing to worry about. I think that we can embark on a military campaign against these countries and start a war!" Benjamin, the Champion of North Aridlands, said.

"Champion Hart makes a good point." Balthazar nodded.

"Although the Champions in both Astronia and Vadesia were killed, Your Majesty, these countries retain their resources and power. Their armies are the strongest in the world, too.

"If we start a war rashly without learning about their terrain, the possibility of us defeating them is low. If the battle ends up being dragged out, there is a high possibility of us losing!"

"Exactly! Diatoran has suffered from a great amount of losses. We should regroup and recover internally before doing anything else."

Two other higher-ups quickly added their opinions.

Balthazar noted that everyone had different opinions on the matter. He was also hesitating on that now, and he could only look at Caspian, asking him, "What do you think about this, Caspian?"

Caspian was silent. He was thinking if this could or could not be done.

"Your Majesty, I think we'll have to postpone this matter. Attacking four countries at the same time is very risky for us!" Caspian said.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They all knew of Caspian's confrontational tendencies—he was unexpectedly calm this time, however.

This was shocking, especially because Caspian had been punished by Balthazar because of the magnitude of his heroic deeds and for his exceedingly confrontational disposition.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to oppose this, Caspian. Are you afraid?" Balthazar asked in bafflement.

"I don't know what being afraid feels like. However, it is not a good idea to start a war when Diatoran still hasn't recovered from the previous battles," Caspian said.

"These four countries attacked Diatoran and caused our people to lose their homes. Should we just let that go? That's incredibly frustrating!" Balthazar said.
