The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 710

Some of the higher-ups in Filren were deeply dissatisfied with Byron. They all harbored ambitions to seize power themselves.

Byron was only a king in name. He hardly had any military power at his disposal. So, he quickly sought help from Vadesia and Astronia, hoping these two countries could assist him.

However, both countries wanted nothing to do with him. Given the recent assassination of the Kings in Estrya and Filren, they were now only concerned about saving their own lives. They didn't want to get involved in anything else.

The Diatoran assassins operated stealthily, leaving no trace behind. No one knew who would be the next victim.

Thus, the Kings of Astronia and Vadesia remained holed up in their residences, unwilling to show themselves.

Byron was at a loss. He had no idea what to do next.

At this moment, he regretted his decision to refuse Diatoran's proposal to exchange those prisoners of war for Macy. Yet changing his mind now would only invite criticism.

Faced with a dilemma, Byron ultimately decided to proceed with Macy's execution.

…

Likewise, Macy was filled with regret as she found herself a captive.

She wished she had ended her own life at the critical moment or perhaps crashed her vehicle into the enemy so that she didn't need to become a prisoner.

She might've even become a hero of the people.

Now that she had been captured and needed people from Diatoran to rescue her, she felt somewhat ashamed just thinking about it.

Filren had uncovered Macy's identity and knew she was the captain of Phoenix Vanguard.

Not only had Macy successfully eliminated Camden, but she had also inflicted heavy casualties on Filren's forces—earning their deep-seated resentment.

They subjected Macy to severe torture, but she remained tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.

Byron ordered Macy to be imprisoned in Filren's most remote Death Mountain Prison. She would be executed a few days later.

Situated deep within the dense forests of the westernmost part of Filren, Death Mountain Prison was heavily guarded by numerous soldiers.

Not only was it incredibly isolated, but it was also highly fortified and housed some of the most dangerous criminals.

No prisoners in this prison had ever managed to escape. Once Macy was incarcerated here, there was no way she could escape.

However, she had no regrets. After all, she had successfully assassinated Camden and inflicted significant damage on Filren's forces.

Macy didn't think it was possible for Diatoran to rescue her. Anyone imprisoned here was doomed to die.

Even if Diatoran were to intervene, there wouldn't be enough time to rescue her. Macy also didn't want anyone else to suffer or die because of her.

…

By evening, the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard had arrived in West Aridlands.

West Aridlands had almost one million troops. Now, the number was bolstered with Caspian's armored soldiers and Phoenix Vanguard.

With a million elite soldiers poised and ready in West Aridlands, all they needed was for Caspian to give the order and they would march toward Filren.

Caspian convened a meeting with Dax and the captain of the armored battalion to discuss the next course of action.

He proposed dividing the million elite soldiers into three routes and advancing toward Filren simultaneously.
