The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 742 Gathering of Gods
Sherry explained, âI think it would be more appropriate for you two to show up.â
Caspian was confused. âWhy, Mom? They donât have any good intentions in mind! Theyâre just thinking of humiliating me now that Iâve been deposed.â
âThey may not have their heart in the right places, but itâs still an invitation to celebrate the birthday of an elder. We would be deemed disrespectful if we never show up after being invited.â
Willow was stunned as she realized what Sherry said made sense.
Sherry continued, âIâm also going with the two of you! Iâve always wanted to visit your parents, Willow.â
Caspian explained, âMom, the Stewarts are a bunch of vile people. You shouldnât come with us. Theyâll just make fun of you the entire time.â
âI believe they wonât cause much trouble for us if we were to show up with generous gifts.â
Willow replied, âThat makes sense. They would treat us better if we show that weâre sincere.â
Caspian helplessly declared, âAlright, fine! Iâm going as well if you two insist on going.â
He didnât really care as he had already experienced the Stewart familyâs cold welcome once.
Meanwhile, the armored battalion had entered Tigra.
Other countries were overjoyed when they heard the news.
They were starting to have other ideas now that the Diatoranian God of War had just become a civilian without an army.
Byron wanted to regain his honor after he had fled his own capital.
After much thought, he decided to mobilize his troops and marched toward the western borders of Diatoran.
Dax immediately reported the appearance of enemy troops to Balthazar.
Other senior officers were extremely worried after receiving the news as well.

They could always count on Caspian whenever enemies showed up. But now that he had been deposed, who else could they still place their faith in?
The sudden situation at the western borders sent the nearby civilians into a panic.
They reminisced about the days when Caspian was still the Diatoranian God of War, where enemies wouldnât have been so daring.
Diatoran might still have its Champions, but they werenât as influential as Caspian.
The Andrewses were terrified upon learning that the Filrenian army was coming their way.
They had just gained immense power and authority yet were already facing a
crisis.
Jerry had no idea what to do next.
When it came to dealing with invaders, a single mistake could destroy the entirety of Diatoran.
Jerry quickly discussed with Kelvin and Zane how to deal with the Filren troops.
âWe had just deposed Caspian from his position, and now Filrenâs trying to attack Diatoran through the western borders. What should we do?â
Kelvin replied, âWe have plenty of other talented individuals in Diatoran, Dad. The other four Champions are also formidable generals.â
Zane added, âThatâs right. Besides, Filrenian troops are just fodders. They arenât as strong as they used to be.â
Jerry replied, âBut the other Champions arenât as intimidating as Caspian was, and thatâs a fact. We might not be able to win as easily if we were to go to war again. And if we donât retaliate, the entirety of Diatoran may be in deep trouble.â
Zane explained, âItâs just Filren, Dad. Why are you so worried? Caspian had even occupied their capital once.â
âI know. Iâm not worried about just Filren. Iâm worried about other countries like Astronia and Vadesia. They might take the opportunity to launch an attack as
well.â
Kelvin asked, âSo we need to take action, right, Dad?â
âWeâve only just been promoted, after all. Besides, we donât really need to defeat the enemy. We just need to make sure to safeguard our borders.â
âWhat do you mean, Dad?â

âWeâll try to avoid war if we can by a show of goodwill to Filren.â
âWhat? Would the Champions even agree to something like that?â
Jerry angrily shouted, âDo their opinions matter? Iâm now the trusted advisor to the king! Iâm second to only the king himself. Hell, Iâve even had the king under my control at this point.â
Zane said, âBut weâve yet to win over the hearts of the people. What if all four Champions teamed up against us?â
Donât forget about the trump card in our hands. Even the four Champions would have to step down if the king wills it.â
Kelvin replied, âYouâre right! Not even the four Champions would be able to do anything against the kingâs orders.â
âYes. We just have to play nice with Filren for now. If things go well, we donât have to worry about Vadesia and Astronia, given their distance from us. As for Tigra, theyâve long submitted to us.â
Zane replied, âAlright, then. Weâll play nice with Filren and hope that everything goes as planned.â
Kelvin swiftly changed the topic. âDad, now that Caspianâs all alone. Do you itâs about time we deal with him? Iâd rather not have to worry about our lives constantly.â

Jerry replied, âYou can strike whenever you like. Iâll leave it to you. But remember to act without exposing ourselves.â
Zane replied, âDonât worry, Dad. Iâve decided to hire the strongest fighter from Skyarch Palace for the job. No one will even realize itâs an assassination.â
âWe only have one chance for this. If Caspian survives, heâll definitely be way more cautious of his safety in the future.â
âI know.â
âCaspian wields a Diatanium dagger. Will your hired fighter be able to match him?
âThe man Iâve hired is the head of Raging Blade, Darren Everett, himself. He wields the Black Moon!â
Jerry was clearly worried. âIâve heard that Caspian has unfathomable strength. Are you sure Darren will be able to deal with him?â
+15 BONOS
Zane simply replied, âDarrenâs the head of the Raging Blade, so heâs very skilled with a weapon. Caspian may be the God of War, but I doubt he could actually fight against an actual traditional martial arts expert.
âMost rumors about Caspianâs strength are just fake news, Dad.â
Zane then ordered Darren to bring more powerful fighters with him to Southlake City and kill Caspian.
Darren immediately sprung into action without any hesitation after receiving the order.
Jerry decided to ask Balthazar to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the matter with the Filrenian troops at the western border.
The four Champions of Diatoran immediately rushed to Dhord City upon receiving orders from Balthazar for a meeting.
