Lord Chapter 535

Chapter 535 The King Is in Danger

Caspian’s mind quickly worked, and he spoke immediately. “Oh! Your Majesty, you should leave through the secret passage first and then make plans. We must not let Quinton succeed.”

“Lord Caspian, it’s too late. Quinton knows about the secret passage. I’m afraid I’m in danger,” the King answered.

“Your Majesty, you must not fall into Quinton’s hands. He will undoubtedly hand you over to Filren, and then Diatoran will be in jeopardy!” Caspian urgently conveyed.

“Lord Caspian, if I am captured by the rebels, you will be the next king. At that time, you will lead the country to continue to fight and defend Diatoran!” the King declared.

“Your Majesty, I have no qualifications to become the king. I cannot take your place.” Caspian had never thought of being a king.

Even when he was at the peak of his military accomplishments, such thoughts never crossed his mind.

“I’ve already told you that you’ll take over my position if something happens to me. Diatoran cannot be without a leader.

“You must take over and lead the army. Diatoran mustn’t fall at the hands of both of us. This is an order, and you must obey!” The King suddenly spoke with seriousness.

“Your Majesty…” Caspian was somewhat at a loss for words.

“You must promise me. If something happens to me, you must take command of everything!” the King insisted.

“Your Highness, let’s not talk about this now. You must find a way to leave through the secret passage,” Caspian said.

“Alright, let’s see if I’m lucky. If I can’t escape my fate, you must follow my

orders, repel all enemy forces, and protect the land of Diatoran with its people!” With that, the King hung up.

“Your Highness, let’s go quickly!” Lyndon urged.

“Okay! Let’s leave through the secret passage!” The King didn’t want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he could only take a risk now.

Lyndon took the King into the bedroom. There was a hidden secret passage behind the bookshelf in the room. After they entered the passage, the bookshelf returned to its original state, looking normal from the outside.

Lyndon led the King through the secret passage, and the exit happened to be a back mountain in West Aridlands.

South Aridlands War Zone.

After Caspian learned about Quinton’s betrayal and the siege of the King, he was now extremely anxious.

Benjamin saw Caspian’s change in expression and asked curiously, “What happened, Commander?”

“We had a little victory here, but something unexpected happened on the King’s side!” Caspian said.

“What? What happened to the King?” Benjamin asked urgently.

“Quinton suddenly betrayed the country. He’s now leading his subordinates to attack the King,” Caspian explained.

“What? That jerk Quinton dared to betray the country?” Benjamin was shocked by this news.

“The situation is very urgent now, and Diatoran is in great danger.” Caspian’s expression gradually became more serious.

“Commander, what should we do? Please give the order!” Benjamin asked.

“I will lead an elite team to rush to West Aridlands immediately to rescue the King!” Caspian declared firmly.

“Commander!”

“You don’t need to say much. The King is in trouble, and as the Diatoranian God of War and one of the Five War Gods, I must rescue His Majesty,” Caspian said.

Hearing this, Benjamin began to grow worried.

After all, South Aridlands was hundreds of miles away from West Aridlands. It would probably be too late when Caspian reached there.

“I know what you’re thinking. It’s indeed a bit late to go now.

“The purpose of my trip is to rescue the King from Quinton’s hands. If Quinton succeeds, he will definitely hand the King over to Filren, and Filren will use His

“What I can do now is to prevent Quinton from handing over the King. Otherwise, the entire Diatoran will be in danger!” Caspian said.

“But do you have a plan to save the King?” Benjamin asked.

“I have already figured it out. I’m going to lead the Armored Battalion to West Aridlands to rescue the King!” Caspian already had a complete plan in his mind.

“What do I need to do?” Benjamin asked.

“After I leave, you will command the battle in South Aridlands!” Caspian instructed.

“I also want to go and rescue the King!” Benjamin said excitedly.

“No! Although South Aridlands has gained a temporary victory, the enemy may launch a counterattack! So, you must stay here and command,” Caspian said firmly.

“As one of the Five War Gods, I can’t turn a blind eye now that the King is in trouble, right?” Benjamin said urgently.

He was very concerned about the King’s safety as well.

“The greatest contribution you can make now is to protect South Aridlands. If we lose, the entire Diatoran will be on the losing end.

“The King is most worried that if all Five War Gods simultaneously go to rescue him, it will lead the enemy to launch a fierce attack as the borders are unguarded.

“The more critical the situation, the calmer we must be,” Caspian said calmly.

“I understand. I will rely on you to save the King. Rest assured, I will guard here!” Benjamin said.

“Good! I will rescue the King. You follow the original plan and make sure to hold the position,” Caspian instructed.

“Commander, please rest assured. I will definitely hold the position. I am more worried about the King now. It is a dangerous matter, even if you’re involved!” Benjamin expressed his concern.

“Regardless, I will make sure the King is safely rescued.”

At this moment, the guards in the King’s residence fought desperately. However, the difference in both troops’ strength made it impossible for them to resist

Now, with more than half of the guards dead and injured, the rebels had already broken into the King’s residence.

However, after searching thoroughly, they found no trace of the King.

Quinton knew there was a secret passage in the residence, so he ordered someone to place a bomb in the King’s bedroom.

Once the bomb exploded, the group discovered a secret passage amidst the rubble.

They rushed in instantly.

Lyndon was escaping with the King when he heard the noise coming from behind.

“Your Majesty! They’re chasing after us. You go first. I’ll hold them off!” Lyndon said in surprise.

He had long anticipated this situation and was prepared to fight at any time.

“No! You’re not their match. Come with me! Let’s escape from here first!” the King said.

He certainly didn’t want to see Lyndon sacrifice himself in vain.

Balthazar knew Lyndon was an innate grandmaster, but he didn’t have much chance of winning if he were to face the enemy in this narrow space.
