The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 710 Lord Caspian Leading the Army

Some of the higher-ups in Filren were deeply dissatisfied with Byron. They all harbored ambitions to

seize power themselves.

Byron was only a king in name. He hardly had any military power at his disposal. So, he quickly sought

help from Vadesia and Astronia, hoping these two countries could assist him.

However, both countries wanted nothing to do with him. Given the recent assassination of the Kings in

Estrya and Filren, they were now only concerned about saving their own lives. They didn't want to get

involved in anything else.

The Diatoran assassins operated stealthily, leaving no trace behind. No one knew who would be the

next victim.

Thus, the Kings of Astronia and Vadesia remained holed up in their residences, unwilling to show

themselves.

Byron was at a loss. He had no idea what to do next.

At this moment, he regretted his decision to refuse Diatoran's proposal to exchange those prisoners of

war for Macy. Yet changing his mind now would only invite criticism.

Faced with a dilemma, Byron ultimately decided to proceed with Macy's execution.

…

Likewise, Macy was filled with regret as she found herself a captive.

She wished she had ended her own life at the critical moment or perhaps crashed her vehicle into the

enemy so that she didn't need to become a prisoner.

She might've even become a hero of the people.

Now that she had been captured and needed people from Diatoran to rescue her, she felt somewhat

ashamed just thinking about it.

Filren had uncovered Macy's identity and knew she was the captain of Phoenix Vanguard.

Not only had Macy successfully eliminated Camden, but she had also inflicted heavy casualties on

Filren's forces—earning their deep-seated resentment.

They subjected Macy to severe torture, but she remained tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.

Byron ordered Macy to be imprisoned in Filren's most remote Death Mountain Prison. She would be

executed a few days later.

Situated deep within the dense forests of the westernmost part of Filren, Death Mountain Prison was

heavily guarded by numerous soldiers.

Not only was it incredibly isolated, but it was also highly fortified and housed some of the most

dangerous criminals.

No prisoners in this prison had ever managed to escape. Once Macy was incarcerated here, there was

no way she could escape.

However, she had no regrets. After all, she had successfully assassinated Camden and inflicted

significant damage on Filren's forces.

Macy didn't think it was possible for Diatoran to rescue her. Anyone imprisoned here was doomed to

die.

Even if Diatoran were to intervene, there wouldn't be enough time to rescue her. Macy also didn't want

anyone else to suffer or die because of her.

…

By evening, the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard had arrived in West Aridlands.

West Aridlands had almost one million troops. Now, the number was bolstered with Caspian's armored

soldiers and Phoenix Vanguard.

With a million elite soldiers poised and ready in West Aridlands, all they needed was for Caspian to

give the order and they would march toward Filren.

Caspian convened a meeting with Dax and the captain of the armored battalion to discuss the next

course of action.

He proposed dividing the million elite soldiers into three routes and advancing toward Filren

simultaneously.

This plan garnered general agreement among the assembled officers.

Dax would lead a force of 400 thousand troops, advancing from the front. The remaining 400 thousand

troops would split into two groups, advancing from the left and right flanks.

"Lord Caspian, don't the armored soldiers, Phoenix Vanguard, and I have a specific task?" Sylvia

asked, puzzled.

Caspian hadn't assigned them a task yet.

"You and the armored battalion, along with Phoenix Vanguard, have a crucial mission," he told Sylvia.

"What mission? I'll fulfill all your orders, Lord Caspian," Sylvia eagerly asked.

"You'll lead the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard to infiltrate the capital of Filren and rescue

Macy," Caspian declared.

"Understood! Macy has rendered invaluable service to Diatoran. I'll ensure her rescue. But we don't

know Macy's exact location. I'm afraid we won't make it in time," Sylvia replied.

"I've tasked Coco with investigating Macy's location. We should receive information soon," Caspian

assured.

As if on cue, an intelligence officer rushed in with a satellite phone. "Lord Caspian, Task Force Rose's

Coco is calling."

Taking the phone, Caspian asked, "This is Caspian. What do you have to report?"

"Lord Caspian, I've located Captain Osborne," Coco said.

"Where is she being held?" Caspian inquired eagerly.

"She's being held in Death Mountain Prison. It's heavily guarded. Should we proceed with the rescue

mission? Please issue your orders," Coco replied.

"You don't need to worry about rescuing Macy. All you have to do is find the internal layout of Death

Mountain Prison," Caspian instructed.

"Okay. I'll send you the layout shortly," Coco replied.

"Thank you. I'll await your update," Caspian said before ending the call.

Turning to the assembled officers, Caspian announced, "We've located Macy's whereabouts. She's

imprisoned in Death Mountain Prison. I'll lead the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard to rescue

her."

The news shocked everyone present. No one had expected Caspian to personally lead the rescue

mission. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Lord Caspian, you're the chief commander of this operation. You can't risk yourself like this. You need

to oversee the operation in West Aridlands," Dax urged.

"Yes, Lord Caspian. Filren is very dangerous now. Let me handle the rescue mission," Sylvia added.

"Lord Caspian, I heard that Death Mountain Prison is heavily guarded. As the chief commander, you

cannot risk yourself," another general officer from West Aridlands cautioned.

But Caspian had made up his mind. "Don't need to talk me out of it. Macy has performed admirably on

her mission. I'll ensure her safe return, no matter the danger."

"Lord Caspian, if you go to rescue Macy, who will command the overall operation?" Dax asked.

"That task will fall to you," Caspian replied.

"But you're the chief commander. How about this? I'll lead the armored battalion for the rescue

mission," Dax proposed.

"No, the armored battalion and Phoenix Vanguard are units I personally trained. Only I know their

fighting style. You're better suited to oversee the situation in West Aridlands," Caspian insisted.

Dax understood that he couldn't change Caspian's mind and reluctantly agreed.

"Lord Caspian, I heard that Macy is scheduled for execution in five days. Can we rescue her in time?"

Dax asked anxiously.
