The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 819

A huge fleet of battleships gathered at the Eastern Sea. The Estryan army was apprehensive upon seeing that, of course. They had never intended to engage in a confrontation against Diatoran to the end.

They dared not confront Sylvia directly. They just wanted to benefit from the situation, even if it was just slightly. This was why they ordered a retreat immediately.

Although they were here to assist Jason's troops, there was no need for them to give it their all. They just needed to put up a show of doing it.

They did not expect Sylvia's troops to pursue them hotly, having no plans to withdraw from the battle at all.

…

The men aboard the surveillance aircraft making its rounds midair saw something very bizarre. The jets belonging to Sylvia's side were all parked at the tarmac by the shore, left unused.

This strange scene was quite confusing. The next moment, the enemy commander received a warning through a radar signal. It confounded him. He asked, "What on Earth is happening?"

His deputy general was dumbfounded as well because many fighter jets suddenly appeared midair around them.

The jets parked by the shore seemed to be part of a trap.

…

At this moment, something else happened all of a sudden. Caspian started a livestream that was released simultaneously in every country in the world.

Onscreen, Caspian looked exceptionally imposing. More shockingly, he was not in Southlake City but in the capital of another country. Behind him was the landmark of Filren, the Clock Tower!

It seemed that he had entered the capital and had Byron's residence under control!

Jason's allies were terrified. They had wanted to fight Diatoran alongside Jason so as to gain some benefits in exchange.

However, no one had any idea about the massive disparity between both sides. Even Byron's residence was under Caspian's control now! How embarrassing!

They had no idea when Caspian had snuck into the enemy's territory either!

Those powers who had wanted to take advantage of Diatoran's situation were all at a loss for what to do. Reality was cruel, and they wanted nothing more but to extricate themselves from the center of the whirlpool.

The other powers no longer had the audacity to support Jason's troops either—not when they knew how powerful Diatoran was. If they ended up getting involved, they would lose more than they had gained.

Jason was the most enraged one of all. He had been gleeful, assuming that he would win the war. He was oblivious to the fact that the enemy had invaded the capital of Filren!

"Retreat immediately! We must regain control over our capital!" Byron ordered angrily.

What Jason was most worried would happen was already happening.

"Caspian is basically walking to his own death by doing something so risky, Your Majesty. I'm sure that he only has a small number of soldiers with him. We can lock him within the capital and capture him when it's the right time to do so!" Jason said.

"Jason, the capital is our center and baseline. Now that it's occupied by Caspian, the soldiers and generals will suffer from low morale. We must take it back!" Byron said, ignoring Jason's words.

This was the second time Caspian appeared in his territory, which humiliated Byron deeply. He had to regain control over the capital, for the sake of his dignity!

Just as Jason's troops were ready to retreat, the soldiers hiding at the foot of Mount Dracelaris charged over. There were hundreds of thousands of them.

Jason's troops were all dumbfounded. How were the Diatoranian troops still unscathed despite the rounds upon rounds of attacks they had launched?

Jason knew that he was incapable of convincing Byron. Instead of doing that, he formulated a backup plan. He took 200 soldiers with him and retreated somewhere else.
