The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 803 Have They Been Exposed
As soon as Jason finished speaking, another one of Filren’s senior officials
retorted, “Are you kidding? Everyone knows that we've threatened to declare war
on Diatoran. They're all waiting for it to start!”
After thinking about it, Byron suggested, “We can get a few people to act as
assassins for Diatoran. Then, we'll destroy the countdown and say that Diatoran
used dirty tricks to avoid facing us in battle.”
“Well, I think it won't be a big deal even if we don't send out our army once the
countdown ends,” Kenelm piped up.
“That won't do! Over a million Diatoranian soldiers have gathered at their
western border. Even if we don’t dispatch our army, the Diatoranians are still a
threat to us,” Jason said.
Just then, an intelligence officer rushed in, saying, “Your Majesty! Jerry Andrews
would like to talk to you.”
Byron was taken aback. Why did Jerry want to talk to him now? What was he up-
to?
“Your Majesty, this is clearly a sign that Diatoran is panicking. I think you should
use this chance to exert more pressure on them and intimidate them!” Jason said
with a smile.
He figured the Diatoranians were calling because they were getting antsy.
“Alright! I'll do as you say,” Byron agreed with a smile, thinking that Jason made
an excellent point.
Byron took the call and asked haughtily, “Isn't it a bit too late for you to beg for
mercy now, Mr. Andrews? There are only a few hours left till we declare war on
you.”
“It's not too late, Your Majesty. As long as the war hasn't begun, it's not too late,
“Jerry said amiably.
Byron felt even more smug.
“What's there for us to talk about? I've already told you what I want—40 trillion
and a few cities. You Dlatoranians have wasted too much of my time. My
patience has been worn thin.
“I heard you have a million soldiers at your western border. Are you going to
declare war against us?” Byron pressed.

“That's all a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. It was the military commander's
own doing. As long as you're willing to engage in peace talks, I'll tell them to
withdraw the army,” Jerry quickly explained.
“That's ridiculous! Are you telling me that a general would have the guts to
dispatch a million soldiers on his own? Do you think I'm a fool? I've run out of
patience, Jerry. As long as I give the word, Filren’s army will march right into
Diatoran right this instant!”
“Please calm down, Your Majesty. Let's have a proper discussion now. I'll agree
to your terms, okay?” Jerry hastily cried out. He didn’t know what to do. He was
afraid that a war would actually break out.
As long as he could maintain his position of power, he didn't care about giving
away half of Diatoran, let alone 40 trillion.
Jerry's cowardly reaction made Byron puff up even more. This was precisely
what he wanted.
room for us to discuss anything, Mr. Andrews, unless...” Byron
“There's purpose.
trailed
“Unless what?” Jerry asked.
“Unless you tell the soldiers at the western border to retreat at once! Only then
will I consider negotiating peace with you. There are only a few hours left until the
deadline. I hope you'll prove your sincerity to me,” Bryon threatened.
By the time Jerry ended the call, his back was soaked through.
He was deadly afraid that Byron would send his army over to attack Diatoran.
Diatoran would be doomed if the countries teamed up with Filren.
Jerry swiftly called Dax, telling him to withdraw the army. However, Dax held his
ground.
“I'm stationed at the border on His Majesty's orders! I won't retreat unless His
Majesty tells me to,” Dax responded.
“Dax Santos! Stop using His Majesty to overrule me! I'll make your life a living
hell!” Jerry fumed.
Alas, while his usual tactics worked on ordinary senior officials, they only made at
military commander like Dax even more furious.
“Mr. Andrews, my loyalty is to Diatoran. I'm willing to risk my life if it means

keeping Diatoran safe,” Dax firmly declared.
“Please, Champion Santos. I'm begging you! The King of Filren is extremely
displeased that we have an army stationed at the western border.
“If the Filrenians declare war against us, we'll be doomed! The citizens of
Diatoran will suffer, and you'll be the cause of that!” Jerry cautioned.
“Don't bother wasting your breath, Mr. Andrews. I'll retreat if His Majesty gives
the order. And furthermore, our soldiers are valiant fighters. Why should we be
afraid to take the Filrenians on?" Dax retorted.
Jerry knew he couldn’t convince Dax, so he had to go through Balthazar instead.
After spending a couple of days lying in bed, Caspian felt sore all over.
It wasn't that fun to be stuck in bed all the time.
He kept trying to think of a way to get rid of Jerry. As long as Jerry was gone,
order would be restored to Diatoran.
Just as Caspian was busy mulling this over, he heard the sound of hurried
footsteps.
Jerry wanted to control Caspian and force him to command Dax to withdraw the
army.
Inside a hidden chamber, Avon fed Lyndon a special kind of medicine. Lyndon
started howling in agony as he rolled around on the floor.
Startled by the sight, Laina exclaimed, “What's going on? Did he get poisoned?”

Although the bugs inside Lyndon had been killed off, he hadn't fully recovered

“Leave with Lyndon and His Majesty. I'll cover you guys,” Laina said.

But before Avon could do anything, Lyndon abruptly opened his eyes and glared
venomously at Avon.
“Guards! Catch these rebels!” Lyndon suddenly shouted.
The last thing he remembered was the assassination attempt on Balthazar, so he
quickly cried out for help.
Laina shook her head. Why did Lyndon regain consciousness now of all times?
She had no choice but to knock him out.
Meanwhile, Avon quickly walked out of the hidden chamber’s main entrance.

Avon was startled. What should he do now?
