The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 633

Many higher-ups turned to agree with Balthazar's ideas.

Balthazar noticed that everyone was in agreement, save for Caspian, who kept silent all the while.

"What do you think, Caspian?" Balthazar asked.

"I think that this isn't doable, Your Majesty. Diatoran isn't fit to start a war now," Caspian said.

After Caspian spoke, everyone looked at him in shock. The Caspian Lynch, the heroic general who had never lost a single battle, was afraid of starting a war?

Balthazar had already taken a step back and made a proposal to defeat these countries one by one, but Caspian still disagreed with him.

Was Caspian insistent on going against the King's desire?

"Tell us what you think, Caspian," Balthazar said, his face dark.

The others present, such as Benjamin and John, had also noticed the expression on Balthazar's face. They were worried about Caspian. If he persisted in singing a different tune, Balthazar might fly into a rage!

"Even if we're to start a war against these countries one by one, Your Majesty, it'll take a very long time. They won't just wait for us to attack them, too. They'll surely help and support one another.

"If we start a war, it won't be against one country. The International Alliance will also see us as a thorn in its neck. They'll surely intervene, and things won't look good for Diatoran in that case," Caspian stated.

"So we just wait for them to attack us? Why can't we strike first?" Balthazar asked, looking angry.

"We should take our time to reach a decision, Your Majesty. No need to be so hasty," Caspian said.

"This is a great opportunity that only comes once in a blue moon, Caspian. You're the head of the Five War Gods of Diatoran, but why have you become so hesitant to take action now?" Balthazar said.

"Your Majesty, I think that our focus should be on assuaging the civilians and rewarding the soldiers who have died and their families.

"We should have the four countries pay reparations first. This is really not a good time to start a war. Please reconsider, Your Majesty," Caspian said.

"What if they aren't willing to pay reparations? Won't we have to start a war anyway?" Balthazar asked.

"We will get to it if it happens. I don't have any good solutions for that now," Caspian replied.

"I don't want to let the opportunity slip by. If we lose the chance because of your hesitation, it will be hard for us to start a war in the future," Balthazar said.

"There are no irreconcilable feuds between us and the other countries. Many young men eager to serve their country have died in the war only because the heads of all countries insisted on clashing against one another.

"Please reconsider, Your Majesty," Caspian said, lowering his head.

"Lord Caspian, dying in battle is a soldier's greatest honor!" a higher-up said. He did not like Caspian's behavior, as Caspian was consistently acting in opposition to the desires of the King.

"That's enough. You all can stop talking. We'll discuss this later." Balthazar had lost the desire to continue the discussion. Caspian's constant opposition was very humiliating.

However, if they were to start a war, Caspian had to be the one leading the charge. If he, the head of the Five War Gods, disagreed with the decision to start a war, who else could possibly serve as chief commander?

Balthazar knew full well that Caspian was the most powerful one out of the Five War Gods—the other four could not even hold a candle to him.

He got up and left the conference room, followed by some of the higher-ups.

The discussion about starting a war was left unsettled due to Caspian's adamant objection.

Caspian was the last one to leave the room. His consistent objection to Balthazar's proposal made the other higher-ups wary of walking alongside him—they would be in trouble if this ended up enraging Balthazar.
