The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 734

"Your Majesty, I—" Caspian wanted to explain himself.

"Caspian, you've become so arrogant that you're not taking me seriously. You even dare to defy me in front of all these higher-ups!

"I'm dismissing you from your post today. From now on, you're no longer a God of War of Diatoran!" Balthazar barked.

Apart from the Andrews family, everyone was in shock and never would've imagined Balthazar would depose Caspian.

"Your Majesty, Lord Caspian is a commendable hero of Diatoran! Yes, he defied your order this once, but it's not that serious of a crime that warrants this!" One of the higher-ups stepped forward to speak up on Caspian's behalf.

Another higher-up stepped forward. "Yeah! Your Majesty, Lord Caspian may have disobeyed you, but he was only doing it for the greater good of Diatoran! He wanted to contribute to our Diatoran's grand cause. That's all."

"Don't bother defending Caspian anymore. He blatantly disobeyed my orders. If I don't punish him strictly and accordingly, others may disobey my orders, too. What power would I, the king, have when that happens?" Balthazar questioned frostily.

That was when Sylvia spoke. "Hasn't Lord Caspian withdrawn with his soldiers from battle as you ordered him to?"

"It's too late. Caspian didn't withdraw immediately after receiving my orders, which means he defied me. I'm merciful enough for not giving him a death sentence!"

Jerry had always served by Balthazar's side, so he knew the latter's behavior and speech well. So, although he made Balthazar say appalling words, they were still reasonable.

Another higher-up spoke up then. "Your Majesty, Lord Caspian has achieved great things during his campaign. Many of our soldiers might be upset if we depose him!"

"Yes, Caspian has emerged victorious, but it's by pure luck. Given his character, he mustn't be allowed to lead troops into battle again. Otherwise, things might eventually go south!" Balthazar boomed.

The higher-ups no longer dared to speak up for Caspian. They shut their lips because they sensed the menacing presence of the guards around the hall.

It was like the guards were ready to take someone down at any moment.

Yet, one higher-up persisted. "Your Majesty, Lord Caspian is strategic and won battles thousands of miles away. He's a prodigy who can lead troops in a war.

"The other four War Gods can't compare to him. It'll be a massive loss to Diatoran if you dismiss Lord Caspian now."

"Who says the other four can't compare to Caspian? Diatoran possesses many other talented individuals! We can grow stronger even without Caspian!" Balthazar refuted.

The other higher-ups were afraid to defend Caspian. They saw how determined Balthazar was and could tell he was enraged. They'd likely be in trouble if they kept butting heads with Balthazar.

These higher-ups were intelligent and could tell Caspian had pissed Balthazar off badly this time.

Sylvia had accompanied Caspian through every life experience. She saw how things worsened and instantly stepped up to plead on Caspian's behalf. "Your Majesty, Lord Caspian has always been loyal to you. Please reconsider this."

"Caspian has defied my orders several times! He's still as young and reckless as before! A person like this isn't worthy of being the Diatoranian God of War!"

"But, Your Majesty, you're the one who proposed this campaign! Lord Caspian kept disapproving of dispatching troops before. How can you say he's young and reckless now?" Sylvia fought back.

Jerry fell briefly silent when he heard that.

Sylvia was right. Balthazar had suggested dispatching troops for this campaign. So, it didn't make sense that Balthazar called Caspian young and reckless.

Jerry got caught off guard. Thus, Balthazar, whom he controlled, didn't know how to respond either.
