Lord Chapter 566

Chapter 566 The Foundation for Victory

“Don’t panic! The battle is yet to be over. Once our fighter jets arrive, we’ll definitely take back the skies. And then, we’ll crush Caspian’s troops!” Ernest

said.

“Besides, I’ve also sent a troop to attack West Fortress Gorge. If we can make our way into Diatoran through West Fortress Gorge, we can definitely make Caspian run with his tail between his legs.”

“You’re right! I didn’t think that far,” the deputy general said with his head lowered.

The battle between both sides had already hit a fever pitch.

Right then, an intelligence officer ran to Caspian to report to him. “Lord Caspian, we just received a report that Filren has sent out a fleet of jets. They’ll soon arrive at the West Aridlands’ border.”

Caspian’s expression turned stiff.

“How many jets?” he asked.

“About 200!” the intelligence officer replied.

“Instruct our air force to leave right now,” Caspian ordered.

“But if our air force were to make a retreat, the enemy is sure to open fire on us!” The intelligence officer was concerned.

“Don’t worry. When their jets reach here, we’ll attack them from the ground with missiles!” Caspian said.

“Understood!” The intelligence officer nodded.

“Additionally, inform our air force to open fire on the enemy’s rear while they’re retreating!” Caspian ordered once more.

The intelligence officer left to carry out Caspian’s orders.

Caspian then urgently made a phone call to the King so that he could arrange for the missile troops to immediately start their assault from afar. They would only. begin to attack once Filren’s fighter jets had entered Diatoranian air space.

Caspian also made arrangements for the West Aridlands’ missile defense system to be up and ready for the upcoming fight.

Victory would soon be decided.

Meanwhile, 60 thousand Filrenian soldiers had begun attacking West Fortress Gorge. However, the soldiers that had been relocated to the gorge were prepared.

“The enemy is here! Be sure to wipe them out!” the West Fortress Gorge general called out.

The Filrenian force’s general was taken aback when he realized that there were still soldiers defending West Fortress Gorge. “Didn’t they say there are no more soldiers here? What’s going on?

“Where did these soldiers come from? Why didn’t we receive any reports of them?

One of the Filrenian deputy soldiers was confused as well.

“Perhaps they were relocated at the last minute,” suggested another deputy general.

“Now that’s a problem. Do we continue to march forward? Or do we retreat?” asked the first deputy general.

“They don’t seem to have a lot of men. We don’t have to worry as we have 60 thousand soldiers. We’ll take the gorge quickly if we commit to a full assault!” the Filrenian general said after he surveyed the surroundings.

“But they’re currently defending the gorge. It’ll be difficult for us to break through their defenses. And even if we manage to capture it, we’ll be losing a good number of men,” said a frowning deputy general.

“It’ll be advantageous for us if we can capture this gorge. We’ll be able to head into the Diatoranian territory through West Fortress Forge and attack Caspian’s forces. We’ll be able to crush them unawares!” the general declared.

“Everyone, listen up! It’s time for us to break through Diatoran’s defenses! Go forth! Capture West Fortress Gorge!” the general yelled to his troops.

The Filrenian military began their assault on West Fortress Gorge.

“Fight back!” the general of the West Fortress Gorge troops ordered as well.

And with that, both sides were thrown into battle.

It was difficult to attack West Fortress Gorge due to its defenses. The Filrenian army couldn’t advance in such a short period of time.

Suddenly, over a hundred fighter jets arrived at the West Aridlands’ border. Ernest initially thought that the Filrenian army had sent reinforcements. His morale was boosted by the thought.

However, he and his troops soon realized that they belonged to Diatoran. The Filrenian soldiers instantly became demotivated.

The Diatoranian jets promptly began to open fire. Missile after missile was launched upon Ernest’s troops. They couldn’t defend themselves from the onslaught, suffering huge losses. Ernest himself couldn’t fully escape from their attack.

A few minutes later, another 200 fighter jets came zooming over. Ernest took a look. This time, these were Filrenian jets. He saw hope at the end of the tunnel at

last.

“Our saviors are here!” Ernest yelled excitedly.

The Filrenian army had lost all morale. But when they saw the arrival of the Filrenian jets, life returned to their eyes.

Just when Ernest and his troops had just seen a ray of hope, the Diatoranian jets launched countless missiles. They aimed for the Filrenian jets. At the same time, the launch silo at the West Aridlands’ border also shot out several missiles.

The missiles blew up the Filrenian fighter jets just as they had entered Diatoranian air space. Ernest and his men were shocked by the sight.

Jet after jet dropped out of the sky, falling onto the Filrenian troops below. The casualty rate climbed as the jets exploded on Ernest’s troops.

In fact, the jets took out more people than the missiles themselves.

Ernest was troubled. Not only did the Filrenian jets contribute nothing, but they also caused huge losses in manpower to his army.

In

just a short time, the Filrenian air force was almost completely wiped out. Out of the 200, only 40 or so fighter jets remained.

Not liking their odds, the remaining pilots didn’t dare to remain. They immediately attempted to retreat from Diatoran’s air space.

Everything had fallen apart in just ten minutes. Only 40 jets were left, and Ernest had lost over 100 thousand men in that time as well.

Ernest’s hope was instantly extinguished. He felt like he had just fallen back into

“Forward! Crush the enemy!” Caspian ordered when he saw the chaos the Filrenian army was in. This was the best time to decimate them..

Instantly, the Diatoranian soldiers surged forward like a wave. The Diatoranian troops waiting to ambush the Filrenian soldiers also came out of hiding and joined them.

Ernest had no idea what to do when he saw Diatoran’s joined forces. Many Filrenian soldiers had also begun to retreat, the troops having fallen into disorder.

“Flee! Retreat from Diatoran!” Ernest didn’t dare to continue this battle.

But Caspian didn’t want to let Ernest escape just like that. Leading his own men, he chased after Ernest.

Meanwhile, Ernest’s soldiers had no intent to stay. They simply fled without looking back, causing the casualties to pile up even more.

Back at West Fortress Gorge, more troops suddenly appeared as both sides were engaged in fierce battle. It was Toby and his men. He had come on Caspian’s

orders to defend the gorge.

“Surround the enemy and decimate them!” Toby called out.

“Onward! Wipe them out!”

And so, Toby’s soldiers entered the fray.

The Filrenian army was shocked to the core when they heard the arrival of Toby’s

troops. Soon, they were surrounded and outnumbered.
