The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 729 Occupying the Capital

"That's impossible! His Majesty will never change his mind just because of such an insignificant

incident," Caspian said.

Jerry gave a perfunctory reply, saying, "I really don't know why His Majesty asked you to retreat, Lord

Caspian."

Caspian said, "Where's Lyndon? Have him take the call."

He already sensed that something was amiss. Even if Balthazar was asleep, it shouldn't be Jerry who

took the call in his place.

Jerry answered, "Mr. Gorp was heavily injured and is currently undergoing treatment. His Majesty

ordered me to watch over the residence. That's why I was the one who took this call."

"I know you've always been at odds with me, Jerry. If I ever learn that you kept His Majesty from taking

this call on purpose, I'll ensure you get your due punishment!" Caspian said coldly.

"We're both working for the king, Lord Caspian. Aren't you accusing me of something I haven't done

now?

"His Majesty really didn't get enough rest last night. That wasn't a lie. I can't wake him up all of a

sudden, can I?"

Jerry could control Balthazar now, yet he was still wary of Caspian.

Caspian could command an army with a million soldiers. If he ended up pissing Caspian off, he would

end up dead after Caspian arrived in Dhord City.

"Please tell His Majesty to call me immediately after he wakes up," Caspian said before ending the call.

Macy asked, "Should we continue taking down the capital, Lord Caspian?"

"Of course! Take your Phoenix Vanguard with you and make it quick. We must take down the capital of

Filren!"

If Balthazar himself hadn't ordered him verbally to do so, Caspian would never retreat.

Macy nodded. "Yes, Lord Caspian!"

She was Caspian's subordinate, so naturally, she would obey Caspian's orders. Then, she and Phoenix

Vanguard entered the fray.

Byron was already terrified at this moment. The reinforcements hadn't returned yet, and he felt like the

capital would be invaded at any time, so he was already making plans to leave.

"Are you really planning to go against the king's orders to the end?" asked the guard who was holding

the royal scepter.

"Shut up!" Caspian said coldly. It was now a key moment during the battle, and he refused to retreat.

He would return to Dhord City and repent in front of Balthazar himself after taking down Filren.

Byron had also heard word that Balthazar had summoned Caspian with the royal scepter. But he was

confused.

Caspian's troops were advancing with high momentum, and the capital was about to be besieged. Why

would the King of Diatoran make such a dumb decision and have Caspian retreat?

Byron changed his mind because of that as well. Caspian couldn't go against Balthazar's orders, could

he? Maybe Caspian would retreat if the Filrenian troops held on for a while longer.

…

"The royal scepter represents His Majesty himself. Do you really want to disobey him again? You

should know the consequences of going against the king's orders, shouldn't you?" the guard said

again.

"You're not worthy of chastising me. Do you really think yourself that important?" Caspian roared.

Caspian was stressed as well. He could only order his subordinates to besiege the capital of Filren

quickly.

Half an hour later, they finally succeeded in taking down the capital of Filren under Macy's and Sylvia's

leaderships. Seeing that the gates were broken down, he ordered immediately, "Charge! Seize the King

of Filren!"

The armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard charged into the capital immediately.

Byron had already deployed many soldiers to guard the capital, but now, he could no longer stop

Caspian from advancing.

Caspian led the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard straight into Byron's residence, about to

seize him. Some Filrenian soldiers attempted to block them on the way, but their efforts were futile

when faced with such a massive army.

Byron had already made preparations to flee from the capital. After learning that his capital had fallen,

he was so shocked. He quickly took a helicopter from his residence together with his most trusted men.

After Byron's escape, the capital of Filren was without its backbone. Many Filrenian residents fled from

the capital hastily.

Caspian and his men occupied the capital immediately. They had not managed to seize Byron but still

gained something from this battle.

Caspian ordered some of his men to guard the capital and keep the Filrenian troops from returning.

The reinforcements in the form of an army with several dozen hundred soldiers were about to return,

but Ylra chased after them and kept on attacking them. When the Filrenian army arrived outside the

capital, only several thousand of them were left.

The armored battalion killed all those soldiers from a high point in the city. Ylra's troops arrived soon

after and entered the capital as well.

The Filrenian troops, who had fought against the Diatoranian army, were now fleeing toward the capital

since their generals had also heard about Byron's escape.

The army, which had consisted of several hundred thousand soldiers, was depleted—only about 300

thousand soldiers were still alive.

Yet, they planned to seize the capital back. Now that Byron had fled, the generals could only decide by

themselves.

Only by taking the capital back could they hope—hoping that they could still hold onto this city. Without

defensive structures, those soldiers would not even have a place to rest.

Unfortunately, Caspian had already made preparations. The armored battalion was stationed in the city

and could put up a better defense against the enemy.

He would never let the capital be taken away. As long as they held onto the capital, his million-soldier

army could exterminate the Filrenian troops upon arrival!

News of Caspian occupying the capital of Filren with the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard

spread like wildfire. Diatoranians were overjoyed to hear that.

Caspian, who went to war alongside his subordinates, had managed to achieve such a great deed only

after a few days. His prowess was definitely unmatched!

Other countries, such as Astronia and Vadesia, were also shocked by Caspian's amazing

achievements. With this, Caspian's name resounded throughout the world.

When Jerry learned that Caspian had occupied the capital of Filren, thus going against Balthazar's

orders, he was so furious he was shaking all over.

"Does Caspian think he can do anything he wants just because he's the Diatoranian God of War? How

dare he!"

"Dad, Caspian has disobeyed the king because of his arrogance. We can label him as a traitor. Can we

discharge him from the army?" Kelvin asked.

"Discharge him from the army? Are you that stupid? Caspian has a million soldiers under his control.

He has the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard under him as well. Who can stop him from fighting

us to the end?" Jerry said exasperatedly.

Kelvin was stunned, as he hadn't considered that. Not only did Caspian have control over a massive

army, but he himself was also a powerful warrior. No one else could harm him.

"If Caspian doesn't return to Dhord City, we can't take his control over the army from him. But he'll

surely become our obstacle if he returns to the country!" Kelvin said.

"We can never be at peace so long as Caspian is alive. He'll surely send his army after us if he learns

of what we've done. Then, our family will be thrust into irreversible danger." Jerry was worried now as

well.

At this moment, Zane said, "I have another plan. Caspian will surely retreat if we carry it out!"

"Tell me about it now!" Jerry said.

"As Caspian has gone against the king's orders, we can seize his family members and use that to force

his hand. If he insists on being disobedient, we will execute his family by firing squad!" Zane bit out.
