Chapter 540 Lord Caspian’s Arrival in West Aridlands
The large group of troops was the two corps sent by Dax.
Quinton became flustered as he was caught in a pincer attack.
“Soldiers! Backups are here! Let’s launch a counterattack!” Ferb shouted as he raised his arm.
The soldiers were instantly motivated when they saw the reinforcements. Regaining their courage, they
initiated a counterattack!
Balthazar felt a mix of emotions when he saw the two corps arriving from the West Aridlands border.
“The situation at the border is critical, and Dax has deployed two corps. I wonder if he can withstand
Filren’s attack.” Balthazar expressed his concern.
“Your Majesty, your safety is the top priority now! Even if we lost the battle at the border, we can find a
way to reclaim it,” Lyndon suggested.
“Hopefully. I hope the war can be quelled soon,” Balthazar answered.
Quinton was a senior general with extensive command experience, so he was quick to calm down.
“Change formation immediately. One group attacks head-on, and the other blocks the reinforcements
from behind! We must reclaim the airport!” Quinton calmly commanded the battle.
His subordinates immediately split into two groups.
Although Dax’s two corps were powerful, they lacked in numbers and couldn’t fight them head-on. So,
they could only delay Quinton’s assault.
Ferb’s 100 thousand soldiers had been engaging in battle nonstop and had already suffered significant
losses. Now, there were only 50 thousand soldiers left. Quinton redirected half of his forces, which was
about 100 thousand soldiers, to attack Ferb’s troops.
Just as Ferb’s forces were on the verge of collapse, hundreds of aircraft appeared
from the north.
Seeing this, Balthazar, Lyndon, Ferb, and all the soldiers were greatly excited.
They knew that the Diatoranian God of War had arrived!
Indeed, these aircraft were reinforcements from the North Aridlands border.

The main force was on military transport planes behind, as the fighter jets were faster.
Since Caspian was late to take action and was based in the Southeastern part of Diatoran, he would be
arriving a little later.
The North Aridlands forces hovered over the airport and took a clear look at the situation.
Afterward, they began a bombing campaign.
When Quinton saw the arrival of the aircraft, he panicked.
“Retreat! Head to Tenby Passage!” Quinton immediately ordered once he saw the unfavorable
situation.
If he were to take the airport by force now, it would only result in heavy losses.
It was almost impossible now to leave by aircraft. His only option was to take Tenby Passage.
The defending guard at Tenby Passage was named Logan Massey.
Since there weren’t many guards at Tenby Passage, Quinton planned to escape from there.
When the rebels heard Quinton’s command, they immediately retreated.
The aircraft hovering over the airport stopped bombing as they knew Balthazar was in the hands of the
rebels.
Now, they could only land and wait for an opportunity.
Dax’s two corps also dared not act recklessly. If they pushed the rebels too hard, Balthazar would be in
danger.
It was difficult for them to save Balthazar. They needed direct command from Caspian.
The two corps and Ferb’s troops remained in place as they waited for Caspian’s arrival.
Quinton led the rebels and began heading toward Tenby Passage.
Half an hour later, ten fighter jets arrived from the southeast.
Seeing these fighter jets, everyone became extremely excited.
They knew that the Diatoranian God of War had come!
The ten fighter jets landed at the airport.

A robust man, full of powerful air, walked out.
Accompanying him was an outstanding, well-built woman.
The man was the leader of the Five War Gods, Caspian!
Meanwhile, the woman beside him was Macy.
“Greetings, Lord Caspian!” all soldiers shouted in unison as they saluted.
Caspian’s gaze was fiery as he looked around at the current situation.
There were many corpses on the ground, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place.
“Where is that jerk Quinton?” Caspian asked.
“Lord Caspian, Quinton took the King hostage and headed to Tenby Passage,” Ferb replied.
Upon hearing this, Caspian’s expression turned grim.
He had some knowledge of Tenby Passage. The defender in charge was Logan, who was also the
current head of the Massey family.
Caspian suddenly remembered that the Massey family had come to him before.
Could Logan be his biological father?
However, Caspian had no intention of dwelling on these matters now.
“Why didn’t you chase after them?” Caspian asked.
“Reporting to Lord Caspian, the King was taken hostage by Quinton. We were afraid that pressing too
hard might endanger His Highness, so we dared not take unauthorized action,” Ferb replied.
Caspian nodded as he understood Ferb’s dilemma.
After all, the King’s safety had to be the top priority. They might accidentally harm him if they were to
give chase.
Caspian glanced at the soldiers and noticed the presence of two corps from West Aridlands. He asked
with some confusion, “Why did you leave the border?”
“Reporting to Lord Caspian, Champion Dax ordered us to come here and assist General Zonia,” replied
the leader of one corps.
“I see. Everyone has performed meritorious deeds today. You have all worked hard,” said Caspian.

“Lord Caspian, the King is still in the hands of the rebels. We feel guilty to receive your praise. It has
been over 30 minutes since Quinton and his group left this place. Please give us the order to rescue
His Highness!” Ferb pleaded.
“Alright! Form up immediately and head to Tenby Passage. Eliminate Quinton and the rebels!” Caspian
commanded.
The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, “Yes!”
“Lock onto the position of Quinton from the air. Do not open fire to avoid harming the King!” Caspian
instructed.
“Additionally, contact the defender of Tenby Passage, Logan Massey, at once. Instruct him to fight off
the rebels. He will be held accountable if Quinton and the others manage to leave Diatoran!”
“Yes, Lord Caspian!” A vice general immediately took action and contacted the guards at Tenby
Passage.
Afterward, he started heading toward Tenby Passage.
The fighter jets also took off simultaneously, heading for the same location.
At the same time, Logan received Caspian’s command.
When he learned that Quinton had kidnapped the King and was heading toward Tenby Passage, he felt
somewhat uneasy.
“All personnel, attention! The rebels currently hold the King hostage and are attempting to break
through Tenby Passage. We must intercept them and not allow Quinton and others to leave Diatoran!”
Logan issued the command.
“Yes!” the soldiers of Tenby Passage shouted in response.
“Commander Massey, Quinton commands nearly 200 thousand troops, and we only have 20 thousand
here. I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist their attack!” A subordinate expressed his concern.
“We must hold them back even if it means death!” Logan said firmly.
“Commander Massey, this is a suicidal mission!” the subordinate worriedly
remarked.
“Lord Caspian has already given the order for us to defend this place at all costs. If we fail, we will face
the death penalty!” Logan declared.
