Lord Chapter 823

Chapter 823 United Front

Byron’s subordinates were fleeing in a panic near the Clock Tower as they had now given up resistance.

Everywhere was now under the control of Sylvia’s forces. Since there were too many defeated soldiers, Sylvia made a decision to gather them in a nearby city. Sylvia and Dax stood atop the city gate with a smile. They had achieved complete victory.

Now, all they needed was to wait for Caspian to arrive.

Before long, a vast crowd appeared, and it was Caspian’s army.

Thousands of vehicles rushed forward in an imposing manner.

Caspian stood on one of the vehicles and waved toward Sylvia and the others. Around Caspian were tens of thousands of elites, all of them meticulously trained. Their steps were uniform, as if they were robots.

As they neared the city gate, Caspian stepped down from the vehicle. Everyone lined up on both sides to welcome him.

Dax and Sylvia hurriedly approached him.

Dax warmly shook Caspian’s hand as his face was full of excitement.

Sylvia also wanted to express her joy to Caspian, but she felt it was inappropriate, considering she was a woman.

If she and Caspian got too close, it would surely cause gossip.

As Caspian approached the city, a loud noise suddenly erupted. Pausing, he thought that someone had attempted an ambush.

Immediately, he saw his subordinates begin shooting into the air.

“Sylvia, what are you doing?” Caspian asked, puzzled.

“Lord Caspian, we’re welcoming you with a small ceremony.” Dax chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Caspian was speechless. He didn’t like these flashy things. If it was Sylvia’s idea, he would’ve scolded her. But since it was Dax’s idea, he didn’t say much.

After all, Dax was one of the Five War Gods, and his subo… were

everywhere. Caspian couldn’t embarrass him.

“Champion Santos, we’re friends. There’s no need to be so polite. Even though we’ve won, we still need to be careful of the International Alliance. They

definitely won’t sit and let this pass. They might cause trouble for us,” Caspian said, somewhat worried.

“Lord Caspian, are you being overly cautious? The alliance is just a gathering of a few forces. They’re just putting on a show. I don’t think they dare to act,” Dax said confidently.

He had been paying close attention to the situation with the alliance. In his opinion, they wouldn’t mobilize a force. But just as he finished speaking, an intelligence officer rushed over in a panic.

The officer handed a piece of information to Caspian.

Caspian looked at it and immediately frowned.

“What’s happening, Lord Caspian?” Dax became nervous when he saw Caspian’s expression.

Caspian didn’t say much and handed the document to him.

Dax took the document and read it carefully. He was completely stunned.

It was a challenge letter issued by the alliance, condemning Caspian’s recent actions.

They demanded Caspian to immediately retreat with his subordinates. Otherwise, they would attack him.

Many leaders of various forces had signed it. They had formed a united front.

Caspian also realized the seriousness of the situation. If the alliance really acted, it would be an unprecedented challenge for both him and Balthazar.

Just the thought of battling dozens of forces felt daunting.

But Caspian couldn’t submit now. He had worked hard to lead his subordinates to victory. If he gave up the victory directly, it would dampen his subordinates‘ motivation.

“Macy, bring Manny over,” Caspian said to Macy after a moment of thought.

Like the other champion’s, Dax also looked down on Manny because he only knew how to talk.

When Dax saw Manný approaching, he bowed and said, “According to our rules, you should bow too.”

Manny smiled indifferently and said, “We’re not the same, so there’s no need to follow your rules.”

Dax’s expression darkened when he saw Manny being rude. He wanted to teach him a lesson but was stopped by Caspian.

Caspian handed the document to Manny, who examined it carefully.

“Mr. York, stop pretending. Do you want us to submit to the alliance?” Dax thought Manny wanted to persuade Caspian.

“Champion Santos, do you think we should go to war with the alliance? This wouldn’t be good news for Lord Caspian.” Manny didn’t seem to mind Dax’s words as his expression was calm.

“Regardless, Lord Caspian can’t submit to the alliance. Our hard–won victory can’t be taken away by others,” Dax said angrily.

“I’ve just looked through the document. Now, dozens of forces have reached an agreement. Such a situation is extremely dangerous for us. The ordinary citizens will face a disaster, and Lord Caspian will be the culprit!” Manny remained indifferent.

“Nonsense! How could Lord Caspian be the culprit? We’re just doing what’s right!

Dax suddenly became irritated and pulled out his gun.

Although he couldn’t kill in front of Caspian, he needed to intimidate Manny.

But Manny didn’t care about him at all.

He knew that Dax wouldn’t dare to lay hands on him. After all, Caspian was here, as well as so many subordinates.

“Lord Caspian, the alliance must’ve come to such a decision after much

discussion. If we act recklessly now, it’ll only bring more serious consequences,” Manny said.

Caspian found Manny’s words reasonable.

“What measures do you think we should take, Mr. York?” Caspian asked.

“Lord Caspian, I can serve as a representative to negotiate with them, I can guarantee that I can come up with a perfect solution,” Manny said confidently.

“Good. I’ll report this matter. If His Majesty agrees, I’ll let you be the representative. This can also be your chance to redeem yourself. Even if the result isn’t good, we can buy some time and plan what’s next,” Caspian said.

“Lord Caspian, how do you plan to deal with the King of Filren?” Manny asked.
