Chapter 728 A Strange Command 

“You know nothing!” Jerry said. “Even if Caspian succeeds in taking down Filren, we can’t govern it well, and it’ll only incite chaos in Diatoran.” 

“You’re much more capable than the king, Dad. How do you know we won’t 

succeed in governing Filren?” Zane asked. 

“The king has managed to govern Diatoran well only because he has capable generals like Caspian working for him. 

“When we oust Caspian from his position, we’ll be without a capable general like him. Besides, other countries will set their sights on Diatoran,” Jerry said. 

“I get it now. With Caspian as general, we can expand our territory. If we are without him, it’s better to maintain the status quo,” Zane replied. 

“You’re right. Diatoran is already one of the biggest countries on this planet. We just need to gain control over this country,” Jerry said. 

“Would Tigra revolt if they knew that we gained control of the throne?” Kelvin asked worriedly. 

Jerry shook his head. “It won’t cause any problems. Tigra is insignificant, and we don’t need to fear them at all. We need to think of a way to kill Caspian instead.” 

Zane asked hurriedly, “If Caspian is ousted from his position, other forces will surely take action against Diatoran!” 

Jerry said sternly, “There’s nothing to worry about. Diatoran is a country with plentiful talent. Besides, Caspian isn’t the only man who can command armies and fight wars. 

“If we don’t kill Caspian, he’ll surely take action against our family when he notices that something is off with His Majesty. He’s not an easy opponent.” 

“You’re right, Dad. Caspian is our number–one enemy. We can only relax after he’s been dealt with,” Zane said with a nod. 

Cecilia had heard news about Caspian for a long time. They all knew that Caspian had saved Macy. Now, they were worried because Caspian had ventured into the central regions of Filren with his army. 

Under Sylvia’s command, the armored battalion attacked the capital of Filren 

from the outside. The Filrenian troops put on defense with all their might, making it difficult for the battalion to break through. 

The armored battalion, led by Ylra, had wanted to fight to the death with the Filrenian reinforcements, but neither party emerged as the victor even after a few hours.

Only several dozen thousand Filrenian soldiers remained alive, and all the roads were stained red by blood. 

Seeing that they would fail in defeating Ylra’s squad, the reinforcements could only retreat immediately. They would rather retreat and defend against Caspian together with the soldiers in the capital than continue to engage in this fight to the death. 

Otherwise, they would no longer have the opportunity to do so. 

When Ylra noticed that the Filrenian reinforcements wanted to retreat, he ordered the soldiers to pursue them. He knew those soldiers needed to stay. Their return to the capital of Filren would not bode well for Caspian. 

That was why he had to stop them here, even if it would cost him his life. 

At the same time, the million–soldier army launched a pursuit operation as well. 

As the capital of Filren was under attack by Caspian, Byron had already issued an emergency command to the generals, telling them to return to the capital to put up a defense immediately. 

The Filrenian soldiers no longer had the desire to fight in this war. When the soldiers were in low spirits, they would be met by nothing but failure. 

The fighter jets that came from West Aridlands were also engaging in battle against the Filrenian air forces. However, the Filrenian fighter jets were obviously inferior to those from Diatoran. 

The Diatoranian army was advancing ferociously on all sides, thrashing Filren so hard they were at a loss on how to retaliate against Diatoran’s attacks. 

When dusk fell, a guard from Dhord City rushed over to Caspian, holding the royal scepter. “Lord Caspian, His Majesty has delivered this royal scepter to you. He wants you to return to Dhord City!” 

Caspian was stunned. There was only one royal scepter in Diatoran, so this was definitely not a replica. 

However, Caspian didn’t want to retreat. He asked, annoyed, “The Diatoranian

army has been winning on the battlefield. Why should we retreat now?” 

The guard said, “I’m only here to convey His Majesty’s order to you, Lord Caspian. Please don’t make things more difficult for me and retreat as soon as possible to avoid dire consequences.” 

This “guard” was actually someone from Skyarch Palace who was in disguise. 

After listening to his words, Caspian was even more pissed. Who did this guard think he was to speak to him in such a disrespectful manner? 

“I’m the Diatoranian God of War, and I have my own plans. You’re not worthy of telling me what to do!” Caspian barked. 

The guard, still holding the scepter, dared not say anything more. 

“Lord Caspian, His Majesty has summoned you back to Dhord City with the royal scepter. Should we retreat?” Macy asked. 

Caspian said determinedly, “The situation on the battlefield is in our favor now, so why should we retreat? Won’t everyone’s efforts go to waste if we do so?” 

“But the royal scepter represents His Majesty himself. If you don’t order a retreat, you’ll be going against the king’s orders!” Macy said. 

Caspian found it suspicious, so he wanted to call Balthazar himself and ask him about it. “Call the king through satellite phone immediately. I want to ask him about his intentions behind that decision.”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Yes, Lord Caspian!” Macy treated this seriously. She called the king’s residence immediately. 

After the phone was picked up, Jerry’s voice came from the other end, “I’m Jerry Andrews. Who’s this? 

Macy was stunned when she heard his voice. Why would he be the one taking the call? 

However, she said, “This is Macy Osborne, the head of Phoenix Vanguard. Lord Caspian wants to discuss something with His Majesty.” 

“Oh, it’s General Osborne. I see. However, His Majesty is currently napping due to exhaustion and won’t be able to take the call,” Jerry said. 

“Napping? Now? Lord Caspian wants to discuss a serious matter, so please wake His Majesty up,” Macy said. 

“How dare you? You disrespect the king, Macy Osborne! Also, can you handle His Majesty’s rage if he’s roused in the middle of his nap?” Jerry pretended to be

angry. 

He knew why Caspian was making this call at this moment, but he would never let the latter talk to Balthazar. 

Macy was furious. She could only say to Caspian, who was beside her, “Lord Caspian, Mr. Andrews said that His Majesty is resting and can’t talk to you for now.” 

Caspian took the phone from her and shouted, “Jerry Andrews, wake His Majesty up now. I have something important to report. Would you be able to shoulder the consequences if something crucial was affected as a result?” 

“Don’t ask me such a tough question, Lord Caspian. His Majesty is sleeping, and I dare not rouse him,” Jerry said. 

Caspian asked, “It’s only the evening. Isn’t it way too early for His Majesty to go to sleep?” 

“Something unexpected happened last night. Assassins invaded the king’s residence, so His Majesty didn’t sleep throughout the night. He could only get some proper rest tonight,” Jerry said. 

“What? Really?” Caspian asked, shocked. 

“Yes, but you didn’t hear about it because you were too far away,” Jerry said. 

Caspian knew that Jerry was always by Balthazar’s side, so he asked, “Why did His Majesty order me to retreat?” 

“I don’t know every thought in His Majesty’s mind, do I? I dare not presume his intentions. He probably wants you to come back and protect him after he almost got assassinated,” Jerry said.
