At this moment, Byron was still in a conversation with the commander of the reinforcements.
Suddenly, he heard the cannons outside the capital, which startled him.
"I have to go. There's the sound of gunfire outside the capital, which means Caspian's troops have started firing at us!" Byron said.
"I understand, Your Majesty. I'm now preparing to lead the troops to a life-and-death battle with Diatoran. You must hold onto the capital. Once I eliminate these enemies, I'll rush back to support you!" the commander hurriedly said.
Byron grunted in acknowledgment and immediately hung up the phone.
A minute later, another urgent call came from the commander defending the city.
"Your Majesty! Bad news! Caspian's troops have begun to attack!" the commander said urgently.
"I know. What's the situation? Do you have confidence in holding out?" Byron asked with concern.
If Caspian and his troops could breach the capital directly, his life would be at stake.
"We can definitely hold out for a short period, but if this continues, I'm not so sure," the defending commander replied.
"Don't worry for now. I've already contacted the reinforcements. They'll support us soon. By then, we can make arrangements inside and outside to annihilate Caspian. Right now, we just need to hold on," Byron said.
"How long will it take for them to support us?" the defending commander asked.
"They should be coming soon. They've already launched a full-scale attack with 200 thousand troops. It should be more than enough to wipe out the armored battalion," Byron said.
"Alright, we can hold out for some time anyway. Let's hope they arrive soon," the defending commander said.
"Yes. You'd better lead the soldiers to defend quickly!" Byron said.
Outside the capital of Filren, the armored battalion was launching a fierce cannon assault. Although the Filrenian troops were trying their best to counter-attack, they were struggling.
The battle between the armored battalion and the reinforcements from Filren had entered a tense phase.
However, the armored battalion, with their extensive combat experience, still had the upper hand.

At Balthazar's mansion in Diatoran, he learned that Caspian had risked his life to rescue Macy. This left him unable to sleep as he eagerly waited for news of Caspian.
"Report! Your Majesty, Lord Caspian's troops have successfully rescued Macy," a guard reported.
"Excellent! Lord Caspian is truly unstoppable!" Balthazar exclaimed excitedly.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night now, and Macy is safe. You should rest early," the guard suggested.
"I'm so excited right now that I don't feel sleepy at all," Balthazar replied, filled with excitement.
A few minutes later, another guard rushed in.
"Report Your Majesty, I have the latest news!" the guard exclaimed.
"Speak!" Balthazar ordered.
"Byron sent troops to Death Mountain Prison, but they were intercepted by the ambush set up by Lord Caspian!" the guard said.
"Excellent! With Lord Caspian's strategic planning, he must've anticipated Byron's next move, so he sent people to prepare for an ambush early on. With such a victorious God of War, how could Filren be our match?" Balthazar laughed heartily.
The soldier continued, "His Majesty, there's another war report. Lord Caspian has now led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the capital of Filren!"
"Lord Caspian's move is truly ingenious! Byron must now have very few troops left. Lord Caspian's ability to adapt on the fly is admirable!" Balthazar became even more excited.
