The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 729

"That's impossible! His Majesty will never change his mind just because of such an insignificant incident," Caspian said.

Jerry gave a perfunctory reply, saying, "I really don't know why His Majesty asked you to retreat, Lord Caspian."

Caspian said, "Where's Lyndon? Have him take the call."

He already sensed that something was amiss. Even if Balthazar was asleep, it shouldn't be Jerry who took the call in his place.

Jerry answered, "Mr. Gorp was heavily injured and is currently undergoing treatment. His Majesty ordered me to watch over the residence. That's why I was the one who took this call."

"I know you've always been at odds with me, Jerry. If I ever learn that you kept His Majesty from taking this call on purpose, I'll ensure you get your due punishment!" Caspian said coldly.

"We're both working for the king, Lord Caspian. Aren't you accusing me of something I haven't done now?

"His Majesty really didn't get enough rest last night. That wasn't a lie. I can't wake him up all of a sudden, can I?"

Jerry could control Balthazar now, yet he was still wary of Caspian.

Caspian could command an army with a million soldiers. If he ended up pissing Caspian off, he would end up dead after Caspian arrived in Dhord City.

"Please tell His Majesty to call me immediately after he wakes up," Caspian said before ending the call.

Macy asked, "Should we continue taking down the capital, Lord Caspian?"

"Of course! Take your Phoenix Vanguard with you and make it quick. We must take down the capital of Filren!"

If Balthazar himself hadn't ordered him verbally to do so, Caspian would never retreat.

Macy nodded. "Yes, Lord Caspian!"

She was Caspian's subordinate, so naturally, she would obey Caspian's orders. Then, she and Phoenix Vanguard entered the fray.

Byron was already terrified at this moment. The reinforcements hadn't returned yet, and he felt like the capital would be invaded at any time, so he was already making plans to leave.

…

"Are you really planning to go against the king's orders to the end?" asked the guard who was holding the royal scepter.

"Shut up!" Caspian said coldly. It was now a key moment during the battle, and he refused to retreat. He would return to Dhord City and repent in front of Balthazar himself after taking down Filren.

Byron had also heard word that Balthazar had summoned Caspian with the royal scepter. But he was confused.

Caspian's troops were advancing with high momentum, and the capital was about to be besieged. Why would the King of Diatoran make such a dumb decision and have Caspian retreat?

Byron changed his mind because of that as well. Caspian couldn't go against Balthazar's orders, could he? Maybe Caspian would retreat if the Filrenian troops held on for a while longer.

…

"The royal scepter represents His Majesty himself. Do you really want to disobey him again? You should know the consequences of going against the king's orders, shouldn't you?" the guard said again.

"You're not worthy of chastising me. Do you really think yourself that important?" Caspian roared.

Caspian was stressed as well. He could only order his subordinates to besiege the capital of Filren quickly.

Half an hour later, they finally succeeded in taking down the capital of Filren under Macy's and Sylvia's leaderships. Seeing that the gates were broken down, he ordered immediately, "Charge! Seize the King of Filren!"
