The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 668

All of the Diatoranian soldiers stood still in formation and saluted.

Tanks and rocket launchers placed around the memorial hill fired toward the air.

The South Aridlands' anti-missile system was already in place to monitor enemy attacks during the rally.

Even though it was a time when the soldiers could finally relax, they still had to remain on high alert just in case anything were to happen.

Balthazar, the Diatoranian God of War, Benjamin, John, and many other senior officers were inside the memorial hill at this moment.

If the enemy were to launch an artillery strike on the memorial hill at this moment, the damage to Diatoran as a whole would be immeasurable.

Diatoran would fall into chaos if anything were to happen to both Balthazar and Caspian. The country would be leaderless, and it would be susceptible to all sorts of threats.

Therefore, soldiers at South Aridlands remained on high alert as they had to ensure that Balthazar and everyone inside the memorial hill were safe.

Countless fighter planes were hovering above the memorial hill for extra measures.

Caspian announced, "We'll begin with a speech from His Majesty!"

Everyone stared at Balthazar, awaiting his speech.

Balthazar stood in the center as he looked upon all the soldiers. "My fellow men. You've all fought well. You've defended your country from Astronia, Vadesia, Filren, and Estrya—four invaders at once!

"My brave soldiers, you're the reason we've managed to secure victory against these four enemies.

"We'll continue to grow as a country, just as you'll continue to grow alongside your allies. There are many amazing accomplishments deserving of commemoration and many heroic acts worth remembering forever in the battle of Southlake City.

"For example, the Inspector General's team. Chief Sanders had led her own men into a fight to the death with enemy troops to defend Southlake Hospital at all costs.

"Her heroic actions had bought time for our medical personnel. They're also heroes worthy to be remembered and praised for their sacrifices!"

Joey and her men were also present for the rally.

They were all very excited when they heard Balthazar praising them.

Joey never imagined herself being praised directly by the king himself.

Balthazar continued, "There's also the special agents who had infiltrated the enemy lines in order to secure important intel crucial to shift the tides of war!

"Their bravery and sacrifice had contributed greatly to our victory. Their efforts in the shadows are also deserving of being rewarded!"

Laina and the rest of Task Force Rose were not inside the memorial hill. They were all dressed as civilians and listened to the speech from outside.

They were all overjoyed to hear that Balthazar had praised them for their contribution and efforts to the war.

Not just anyone could be praised by the king.

Balthazar understood that he could not expose the identity of the special agents he had just mentioned. Their identity still needed to be kept a secret for future operations.

"We Diatoranians united as one, and through immense determination and will, we've finally driven all our enemies out of Diatoran!

"However, the world isn't exactly peaceful just yet. Our enemies will soon return, and we must be fully prepared!

"Diatoran had survived as a civilization for thousands of years. Rather than keeping to ourselves and getting invaded by enemies, I say it's about time we take the initiative instead!"

Balthazar continued his speech with passion, "Enemies of Diatoran will be punished, no matter how far they are! Our enemies declared war upon us and killed so many of our own, and we'll make them pay for their sins!"

Caspian then raised his arms and shouted, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! Anyone who dared to make an enemy of us will be dealt with!"
