The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 548 Pincer Attack

“Everyone, follow me! Let’s annihilate the Filrenian forces!” Wielding his Diatanium dagger, Caspian led

the charge.

The armored battalion, Ferb’s subordinates, and two other regiments followed Caspian into the fray.

Macy kept close to Caspian. She joined the assault with the rest of the troops.

The initial artillery onslaught had disheartened the Filrenian forces. It significantly diminished their

numbers.

Caspian led the armored battalion and Quinton’s vast contingent.

They faced little resistance from the overwhelmed enemy.

Balthazar watched from Tenby Passage as the Diatoranian onslaught easily scattered the Filrenian

troops.

The Diatoranian forces were unstoppable and majestic. They carved a bloody path through the enemy

ranks.

Meanwhile, at the West Aridland border, the Filrenian forces launched a fierce assault.

Dax, the West Aridlands Champion, and his troops valiantly resisted. But, the absence of two

regiments limited their defense.

Despite facing Filren’s elite forces, the West Aridlands defenders struggled against the overwhelming

odds and continuous reinforcements.

“Champion Dax, we might not withstand Filren’s onslaught. Perhaps we should retreat to minimize our

losses,” a general suggested, recognizing the

problematic situation.

“Hold the line! We must defend this position at all costs! Diatoran will be in trouble if we falter!” Dax

declared.

“But the enemy’s attack is too intense, and they’re well-armed. Continuing might lead to our total

annihilation,” the general warned.

“Even if we retreat, there’s no guarantee we can hold back their advance. We must stand our ground,

even if it means fighting to our last breath,” Dax insisted.

“Champion Dax, with the Diatoranian God of War here, we could regroup and

proposed.

“Enough! My decision is final. Retreating now would only invite further pursuit. and greater losses.

Speak of retreat again, and I’ll have you executed for demoralizing our troops!” Dax exclaimed in anger.

The general dared not push further after seeing Dax’s resolve.

Outside the Tenby Passage….

After hours of fierce combat, Caspian and his forces had nearly wiped out the Filrenian invaders.

The battlefield was a gruesome sight. There were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

Most of the Filrenian troops were slain. There were only a few hundred managing to flee.

The Diatoranian soldiers suffered minimal casualties and secured a decisive victory.

Balthazar observed from the walls of the passage.

He felt a deep sense of pride watching Quinton’s former subordinates fight valiantly.

Though wounded in the battle, Logan showed no signs of retreat.

“Urgent message for the Diatoranian God of War from the West Aridlands border!

an intelligence officer called out.

Caspian sensed trouble and took the satellite phone.

“This is Caspian. What’s the situation?” he inquired.

“Diatoranian God of War, is the King safe?”

Dax’s voice came through.

“Champion, the King is safe, and Quinton has been dealt with,” Caspian assured.

“Excellent! As long as the King is safe, I’m relieved. I knew there was nothing you couldn’t handle.” Dax

expressed his relief.

He knew the King’s capture in the West Aridlands could have had dire

consequences.

“Champion Dax, what’s the situation at the border?” Caspian asked, concerned.

“Diatoranian God of War, the Filrenian forces are relentless, and their heavy weaponry is

overwhelming. We’re on the brink of collapse,” Dax reported.

“Hold your ground at all costs,” Caspian commanded.

“God of War, the West Aridlands troops might be wiped out if we soldier on. Do you have a plan?” Dax

sought guidance.

“I’ll send the armored battalion and your two regiments for reinforcement. We can crush the enemy with

Quinton’s former subordinates attacking from behind.

Caspian strategized.

“How long until your arrival?” Dax inquired.

“From the Tenby Passage, it’ll take about four hours to flank the Filrenian troops. Stall them as long as

you can,” Caspian instructed.

“I’ll hold the line and await your arrival,” Dax promised.

“Just endure for four hours and draw their fire. With our forces attacking from both sides, victory is

assured.” Caspian planned.

“I’ll find a way to hold on,” Dax vowed, ready for the challenge.

After ending the call, Balthazar approached Caspian. “Diatoranian God of War, who was that, and

what’s the situation?”

“Your Majesty, it was Dax. The West Aridlands front is under severe attack from Filren,” Caspian

reported truthfully.

“Do

you have a plan to repel the enemy?” Balthazar inquired.

“Your Majesty, I intend to send the armored battalion and Quinton’s former troops for support. We’ll

surround and defeat Filren’s forces,” Caspian explained his strategy.

“Brilliant plan! I’ll join you in this endeavor,” Balthazar declared as he was eager to participate.

“Your Majesty, that’s not advisable. You must oversee the broader strategy and cannot risk being with

us. Our battle will be risky,” Caspian advised against it.

“But my presence could boost morale!” Balthazar argued. He was keen on leading the battle

personally.

“Your Majesty, there are other places which need you more. With the West Aridlands frontline dépleted,

you should return to the West Aridlands War Zone. If you join us, West Aridlands will be left

vulnerable,” Caspian reasoned.

Balthazar considered Casplan’s logic and agreed, “Alright, I’ll return to the West Aridlands War Zone.”

“Time is critical. I must depart immediately to confront Filren’s forces.” Caspian stressed the urgency.

“Diatoranian God of War, I wish to join you on the West Aridlands front.” Logan stepped forward, eager

to fight.

“That’s not possible. You’re too injured. Stay and guard Tenby Passage, and focus on healing,”

Caspian declined, concerned for Logan’s well-being.

Despite the unresolved matter of their relationship, Caspian didn’t want Logan to continue fighting.

Caspian was concerned for his well-being as Logan was heavily injured.

“It’s nothing serious. I’m ready for the next battle!” Logan insisted, undeterred.
