The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 661

Cecilia exclaimed with panic, "It seems that our enemies are going to entrap us. What should we do?"

Tom explained, "Don't panic. We'll just have to take a detour since the main route is blocked. We'll talk about it when we get to the station."

Sherry added, "That's right, let's retreat for now. It would be bad if they spotted us. We'll have to go through a different path."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and carefully retreated before they were spotted.

They had just turned around when they caught sight of a group of people.

The four of them were all stunned by the sight.

Cecilia started to panic once more. "We're surrounded! They're on both our front and backs!"

Tom immediately said, "Hurry up and retreat to the side! They won't be able to find us if we hide in the forest on the mountain."

Sherry replied, "Yeah, let's go!"

Nothing good would happen once those men caught them.

The four of them got off the road and entered the forest. They didn't dare to slow down all the way until they reached halfway up the mountain.

Cecilia said while panting for air, "Where do we go now?"

Tom explained, "Let's just stay here for now. We'll look for a bus in the morning."

Sherry replied, "I'm afraid we can't get a ride."

"Why not?" Tom asked.

Sherry replied, "The Jessops will already be anticipating that we leave Churron by bus and have placed their men around the bus stations. We'll be caught as soon as we arrive."

Tom nodded his head in agreement and then slumped down as he was at a loss for what to do next.

Sherry asked, "Let's just stay here until tomorrow. They won't be so insane as to attack us in broad daylight, right?"

Tom nodded his head. "Yeah, we'll stay here for tonight, then."

The Jessops' and Celian's men were unable to find Tom and the rest at the foot of the mountain.

The four of them remained at the midpoint of the mountain and would only leave by the next morning.

…

Fergus and Lacey stayed behind at the abandoned factory and waited. They waited for a very long time, but Tom and his friends were nowhere to be seen.

Fergus angrily shouted, "What's going on? Why is it taking them so long to catch four people? Bunch of losers!"

Lacey started to panic. "Call and tell them to bring the four of them to us as soon as possible! We're in trouble if we can't find them before dawn!"

"Could they have left Churron?"

"Impossible. They may be quick, but it's impossible for them to leave Churron in such a short amount of time. Besides, there's not a lot of buses running around during this time."

"Then, where did they go?"

Lacey explained, "They must have noticed that something was off and hid themselves in some corner. We have to capture them no matter what!"

Fergus replied, "Yeah! I'll have my men continue the search."

…

The next day, at Southlake City, the remembrance ceremony was about to begin.

Alongside the ceremony was a rally to inspire the Diatoran citizens of a more peaceful future.

Caspian also wanted to publicly execute the Archers and the Hudsons who had committed treason against Diatoran.

Caspian, along with Willow and Zoey, had woken up early for the occasion.

He brought Macy and his armored soldiers to the west of the city to collect the ashes of their fallen comrades before heading toward the Southlake City Memorial Hill.
