The Almighty Lord Caspian
Lord Chapter 557

Chapter 557 Bet on It 

Never in his life did he expect to be directly fighting Caspian Lynch, the Diatoranian God of War who had never lost a single battle. 

He had entertained the possibility of Caspian coming to the aid of the troops in West Aridlands, but the location Caspian had shown up in was extremely surprising. 

He was one of the most prominent War Gods in their generation, yet he had led troops to charge toward the enemy troops from behind, which sounded like a risky move. 

“Send an emergency telegram to the command center immediately. We need reinforcements. Let’s surround Caspian instead!” the enemy general urged. “Yes, sir! I’ll contact the command center immediately!” The enemy officer proceeded to do so. 

The Filrenian higher-ups were floored when they heard that Caspian had invaded the enemy troops with his men. This was an excellent chance for Filren, though. 

This was the best time to kill Caspian. 

It was extremely dangerous for the chief commander of an army to infiltrate enemy troops from behind in a war of such a large scale. 

Despite being the chief commander of Diatoran, Caspian still had the guts to launch a sneak attack at the Filrenian troops from behind. Now, after the arrival of reinforcements sent by the Filrenian higher-ups, Caspian’s troops would be 

surrounded. 

West Aridlands was a desert with no terrain they could use. Caspian had basically exposed himself fully. 

The Filrenian higher-ups immediately sent reinforcements to West Aridlands in the form of 250 thousand soldiers. 

Caspian’s defeat would be a huge blow to the Diatoranian army. 

The death of a general would significantly impact his country. Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War. Diatoran might fully lose the ability to retaliate if he was defeated! 

Caspian was the head of the Five War Gods of Diatoran. He was a legend in the hearts of all Diatoranian soldiers-he had not lost a single battle ever since becoming the Diatoranian God of War.

If they could capture Caspian alive, Diatoran might give up on fighting back, and it would be significantly easier for them to conquer Diatoran. 

This was a great opportunity. Of course the Filrenian higher-ups were going to take full advantage of it. 

They ordered the general stationed at the west border of Diatoran to stand their ground before the reinforcements arrived. 

Cassius Latham, the chief commander of Filren, was extremely excited to learn that Filren had sent 250 thousand soldiers as reinforcements. He now had hope that his troops could defend themselves against the Diatoranian troops. 

“Soldiers, the reinforcements have departed and will arrive soon. If we can stand our ground here, we’ll be able to surround Caspian Lynch after our reinforcements arrive! 

“We will surely defeat him!” Cassius called out passionately to his soldiers. 

The thought of defeating Caspian excited Cassius. 

Caspian was known as the unbeatable God of War. If the Filrenian troops could defeat him, Cassius would become much more respected and revered 

internationally! 

The Filrenian troops were fired up as well. They started launching an aggressive attack. 

Caspian had led several attacks against the enemy, but their defense remained sturdy. 

“Lord Caspian, the enemy remains determined to keep up their defense. We’re in a dangerous position now. If Filren deploys the Dilram Troops, we’ll end up being surrounded!” Macy said, worried. 

“You’re right, and that’s why we must get our task here done as soon as possible. We must defeat the enemy troops before their reinforcements come!” Caspian 

said. 

“Judging from the current situation, we won’t be able to achieve victory within a short time,” Macy said. 

“Let me think of a good idea.” Caspian was anxious, too. They had no choice but to race against the clock. 

Suddenly, the person in charge of the intelligence department ran over, saying, I’m here to report to Lord Caspian. We’ve managed to get our hands on the content of an encrypted telegram sent by the enemy!”

Caspian nodded. “Tell us about it!”. 

“Filren has sent out 250 thousand soldiers as reinforcements. They’re heading over here now. They want to surround us instead!” the intelligence officer said in panic. 

Caspian frowned. He asked, “How long will it take for them to arrive here?” 

“Based on the distance between them and here, I calculated that they’d arrive in four hours. Maybe even less than that,” the officer said. 

Caspian’s face gradually darkened. 

This was bad. They would have to defeat the enemy troops within these few hours. After that, his troops could assemble alongside the troops in West Aridlands and fight against the Filrenian forces together. 

They would be in dire straits if they dragged this further. 

“Contact the command center in the West Aridlands War Zone immediately. I want to speak to the King,” Caspian said after giving it some thought. 

“On it!” The intelligence officer nodded. 

The King was at the command center in the West Aridlands War Zone. When he heard that Caspian wanted to speak to him, he picked up the satellite phone immediately. 

וול. 

“How are things going in the front lines, Lord Caspian?” Balthazar asked. 

“The enemy troops are countering us powerfully at the border, Your Majesty. The latest intelligence said that Filren had deployed 250 soldiers to West Aridlands as reinforcements. They want to surround our troops instead,” Caspian said. 

Balthazar said seriously, “The situation on the battlefield often shifts unpredictably. You’ve infiltrated the enemy troops along with 200 thousand soldiers, haven’t you? The situation is dire now!” 

“Exactly. I have something I want to discuss with you, Your Majesty,” Caspian 

said. 

“Do tell,” Balthazar said. 

“The Filrenian reinforcements will arrive in about four hours, which means that we must repel the enemy troops at West Aridlands in a limited period of time, or we’ll be surrounded by our enemies instead. 

“That’ll lead to the total defeat of our troops. We have no choice but to go for it without reservations!” Caspian said solemnly.

“Do you have any strategies for that, Lord Caspian?” Balthazar asked. 

“Four hours is a bit too short. I hope that you can send out reinforcements, Your Majesty. If we can repel the enemy troops at the borders within a limited timeframe, victory will surely be ours!” Caspian said. 

“But all the manpower stationed in West Aridlands has been deployed to the borders. Where can I find the reinforcements you need?” Balthazar said. 

“You can contact Toby Hoffman and Charlie Chase. They’re the generals stationed at West Fortress Gorge, which is at the intersection between North and West Aridlands. 

“Have them lead their troops here. They’ll serve as reinforcements for us. I’ll lead the armored battalion in an attack, where we strike at the enemy from the back. 

“Dax will lead his troops and attack from the front. The enemy forces will be surrounded from three sides. With this, we’ll have a bigger shot at winning the battle,” Caspian said. 

“That’s an ingenious strategy, Lord Caspian. But I noticed that the troops at West Fortress Gorge would all be deployed. What if the enemy gets word of it and attacks the gorge?” Balthazar asked in worry. 

“The bulk of Filren’s troops are at the border of West Aridlands now, and their reinforcements are also heading here. The enemy is giving West Aridlands their full attention, so they won’t pay any heed to whatever’s going on in West Fortress Gorge,” Caspian said. 

“That’s still very risky. If the enemy suddenly changes their mind, decides to attack the gorge, and breaches it, enemy troops will invade Diatoran in droves. That’ll put us at a disadvantage!” Balthazar remarked after giving it some thought. 

“The situation is very dire now, and we don’t have the time to hesitate, Your Majesty. That’s why I said we’ll have to just go for it,” Caspian answered. 

“You’re making an enormous bet, Lord Caspian! If you fail, Diatoran will end up at a disadvantage. Do you have other solutions?” Balthazar asked, somewhat worried.
