Chapter 809 Declaration of War
The guards weren't sure what to do. They dared not get rough with Sherry.
“Why aren't you guys moving? Knock her out and take her away!” Kelvin
snapped.
A guard was just about to march up to Macy when Mort shouted, “No! Stop! You
can't do that!”
Taken aback, Kelvin looked at Mort incredulously. What was wrong with Mort?
What gave him the audacity to get in the way?
“Mr. Kelvin, Mrs. Massey is no ordinary person. We can't get rough with her.
What if something happens? We won't be able to answer to Mr. Andrews..." Mort
said, to Kelvin's displeasure.
Why was Mort talking about Jerry when he worked for Kelvin?
Kelvin wondered if Mort was a spy.
“What do you mean by that, huh? Do I need you to tell me what I should and
shouldn't do?” Kelvin asked in an icy tone, feeling the urge to kill Mort.
If Mort failed to explain himself, Kelvin was going to get rid of him. He knew he
needed to trust his subordinates, so he wasn’t going to keep someone he
couldn't trust around.
“I've been taking care of Mrs. Massey all along, Mr. Kelvin. Let me try to talk to
her,” Mort hastily said.
He walked over to Macy and muttered, “Please stop protesting, Mrs. Massey. If
you do as they say, they can promise that you won't be harmed.”
Macy said coldly, “Fine. I'll go with you.”
Back at the King's residence, Avon was stumped.
He was currently on a call with Byron, and whatever he said right now would be
akin to Balthazar's order as well.
Unused to having such authority thrust upon him, Avon suddenly realized how
challenging it was to be the King of Diatoran.
“You heard my order, right, Mr. Andrews? Once time is up, I can guarantee that
the gunfire that's about to rain down on Diatoran will make your entire country a
living
front too.
DyLun
In reality, he didn’t know what to do next.
“This is no small matter, Your Majesty. If we go to war, the Filrenians will suffer
heavy losses too!” Avon said, doing his best to dodge the issue.
“Your attitude will determine whether or not we go to war. As long as you agree to
the terms I've stated, I'll tell my troops to retreat. I'll even promise that Filren
won't engage Diatoran in conflict for the next century,” Bryon said.
“You Filrenians are asking for too much. I won't agree to those terms,” Avon
staunchly declared.
Diatoran wasn't a weak country. Why would they agree to terms that brought
nothing but humiliation to them?
Byron was taken aback. He didn’t expect that answer.
“Are you saying there’s no point for us to continue with this discussion?” Byron
asked icily
“We're not giving you any compensation or handing over any of our territory! Do
you think I'd do something so ridiculous?” Avon replied.
He couldn't figure out why Jerry would agree to such terms in order to negotiate
peace. It wasn't as if Diatoran couldn't defeat Filren.
Why was Jerry hellbent on compromising?
“How dare you toy with me, you bastard? I see how it is! Just you wait! I'm going
to turn Diatoran into a living hell!” Byron roared, feeling like Jerry was stringing
him along.
Previously, Caspian nearly managed to conquer Filren, and now, Jerry was
messing with him.
He couldn't take it anymore
“Give my command! Tell all the army divisions to start making their way over to
Diatoran’s border! Also, alert the other nations. They must join us in a war against
Diatoran!” Byron roared.
“Your Majesty! Are we really going to start the war?” Jason asked timidly.
“Of course! Do you think we can do anything else now?” Byron shot back in
displeasure.
“I'm suddenly getting the feeling that something's up. Ever since the

negotiations started, the King of Diatoran hasn't appeared in person at all. It's
always this Jerry fellow who handles everything,” Jason said with a look of
concern.
“I think you're overthinking it, Jason. It's not like Diatoran would bring Caspian
back as a general again. At the time, Caspian had already laid siege to our
capital, so why did they make him withdraw?” Kenelm piped up.
“Maybe it's because the citizens of Diatoran protested against the war, so the
King of Diatoran had no choice but to get Caspian to withdraw,” a senior official
suggested.
“Yes, I think that's quite likely. There's no other explanation for it,” another senior
official chimed in.
Their remarks rendered Jason speechless. On the contrary, he had a feeling
something had gone wrong within Diatoran’s government, leading to such
strange decisions on their part.
None of them knew it was all thanks to Jerry's machinations, of course!
Time continued to pass, and the 72-hour deadline would soon be ending.
Byron could sense that all eyes were on him. The countdown was like a
nightmare that haunted him.
He had no other choice but to command, “Pass on the order! In one hour, all
three army divisions to attack Diatoran at once, and I'll join them on the
battlefield!”
Tigra had been tracking the movements of the other countries. They were all
waiting for the war to begin.
“What's going on? Are the Filrenians chickening out?” Dawlya, the King of Tigra,
commented with disappointment.
He was waiting to enjoy the show, but the Filrenians weren't taking any action
yet.

“He's caught between a rock and a hard place now,” a Tigran senior official said
with a scoff.

“How humiliating. The new King of Filren is so useless! What a disappointment,”
Dawlya said, shaking his head.
“Your Majesty, in the past, Caspian already led a siege on Filren’s capital. I'm
sure the Filrenians dare not do anything rash now.

Dawlya was disappointed to see that the war hadn't started. He was hoping that
Tigra and Diatoran would battle one another, giving him a chance to reap some
benefits.
A few minutes later, Byron finally started an international livestream.
“We Filrenians have always prioritized peace above all else. I did not wish to see
things turning out this way, but I hereby make a formal announcement!”
He paused for a moment, and the senior officials behind him shook their heads
while sighing
