Lord Chapter 548
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 548 Pincer Attack
âEveryone, follow me! Letâs annihilate the Filrenian forces!â Wielding his Diatanium dagger, Caspian led the charge.
The armored battalion, Ferbâs subordinates, and two other regiments followed Caspian into the fray.
Macy kept close to Caspian. She joined the assault with the rest of the troops.
The initial artillery onslaught had disheartened the Filrenian forces. It significantly diminished their numbers.
Caspian led the armored battalion and Quintonâs vast contingent.
They faced little resistance from the overwhelmed enemy.
Balthazar watched from Tenby Passage as the Diatoranian onslaught easily scattered the Filrenian troops.
The Diatoranian forces were unstoppable and majestic. They carved a bloody path through the enemy ranks.
Meanwhile, at the West Aridland border, the Filrenian forces launched a fierce assault.
Dax, the West Aridlands Champion, and his troops valiantly resisted. But, the absence of two regiments limited their defense.
Despite facing Filrenâs elite forces, the West Aridlands defenders struggled against the overwhelming odds and continuous reinforcements.
âChampion Dax, we might not withstand Filrenâs onslaught. Perhaps we should retreat to minimize our losses,â a general suggested, recognizing the
problematic situation.
âHold the line! We must defend this position at all costs! Diatoran will be in trouble if we falter!â Dax declared.
âBut the enemyâs attack is too intense, and theyâre well-armed. Continuing might lead to our total annihilation,â the general warned.
âEven if we retreat, thereâs no guarantee we can hold back their advance. We must stand our ground, even if it means fighting to our last breath,â Dax insisted.
âChampion Dax, with the Diatoranian God of War here, we could regroup and

proposed.
âEnough! My decision is final. Retreating now would only invite further pursuit. and greater losses. Speak of retreat again, and Iâll have you executed for demoralizing our troops!â Dax exclaimed in anger.
The general dared not push further after seeing Daxâs resolve.
Outside the Tenby Passageâ¦.
After hours of fierce combat, Caspian and his forces had nearly wiped out the Filrenian invaders.
The battlefield was a gruesome sight. There were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
Most of the Filrenian troops were slain. There were only a few hundred managing to flee.
The Diatoranian soldiers suffered minimal casualties and secured a decisive victory.
Balthazar observed from the walls of the passage.
He felt a deep sense of pride watching Quintonâs former subordinates fight valiantly.
Though wounded in the battle, Logan showed no signs of retreat.
âUrgent message for the Diatoranian God of War from the West Aridlands border!
an intelligence officer called out.
Caspian sensed trouble and took the satellite phone.
âThis is Caspian. Whatâs the situation?â he inquired.
âDiatoranian God of War, is the King safe?â
Daxâs voice came through.
âChampion, the King is safe, and Quinton has been dealt with,â Caspian assured.
âExcellent! As long as the King is safe, Iâm relieved. I knew there was nothing you couldnât handle.â Dax expressed his relief.
He knew the Kingâs capture in the West Aridlands could have had dire
consequences.
âChampion Dax, whatâs the situation at the border?â Caspian asked, concerned.
+15 BONOS
âDiatoranian God of War, the Filrenian forces are relentless, and their heavy weaponry is overwhelming. Weâre on the brink of collapse,â Dax reported.
âHold your ground at all costs,â Caspian commanded.
âGod of War, the West Aridlands troops might be wiped out if we soldier on. Do you have a plan?â Dax sought guidance.
âIâll send the armored battalion and your two regiments for reinforcement. We can crush the enemy with Quintonâs former subordinates attacking from behind.
Caspian strategized.
âHow long until your arrival?â Dax inquired.
âFrom the Tenby Passage, itâll take about four hours to flank the Filrenian troops. Stall them as long as you can,â Caspian instructed.
âIâll hold the line and await your arrival,â Dax promised.
âJust endure for four hours and draw their fire. With our forces attacking from both sides, victory is assured.â Caspian planned.
âIâll find a way to hold on,â Dax vowed, ready for the challenge.
After ending the call, Balthazar approached Caspian. âDiatoranian God of War, who was that, and whatâs the situation?â
âYour Majesty, it was Dax. The West Aridlands front is under severe attack from Filren,â Caspian reported truthfully.
âDo
you have a plan to repel the enemy?â Balthazar inquired.
âYour Majesty, I intend to send the armored battalion and Quintonâs former troops for support. Weâll surround and defeat Filrenâs forces,â Caspian explained his strategy.
âBrilliant plan! Iâll join you in this endeavor,â Balthazar declared as he was eager to participate.
âYour Majesty, thatâs not advisable. You must oversee the broader strategy and cannot risk being with us. Our battle will be risky,â Caspian advised against it.
âBut my presence could boost morale!â Balthazar argued. He was keen on leading the battle personally.
âYour Majesty, there are other places which need you more. With the West Aridlands frontline dépleted, you should return to the West Aridlands War Zone. If you join us, West Aridlands will be left vulnerable,â Caspian reasoned.
+15 BONOS
Balthazar considered Casplanâs logic and agreed, âAlright, Iâll return to the West Aridlands War Zone.â
âTime is critical. I must depart immediately to confront Filrenâs forces.â Caspian stressed the urgency.
âDiatoranian God of War, I wish to join you on the West Aridlands front.â Logan stepped forward, eager to fight.
âThatâs not possible. Youâre too injured. Stay and guard Tenby Passage, and focus on healing,â Caspian declined, concerned for Loganâs well-being.
Despite the unresolved matter of their relationship, Caspian didnât want Logan to continue fighting.
Caspian was concerned for his well-being as Logan was heavily injured.
âItâs nothing serious. Iâm ready for the next battle!â Logan insisted, undeterred.
