Lord Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Elimination

“Onward! Eliminate all of Tigran’s special forces! Protect Diatoran’s treasures!”

Macy raised her arms as she shouted her battle cries.

Now that Caspian was safe, she no longer had to hold back from performing her duties.

The rest of the soldiers were also relieved as they had finally confirmed Caspian was safe.

Their main objective to rescue Lord Caspian was finished.

Zoey felt embarrassed as she watched Macy and the troops charge in.

She realized that everyone must have seen her being held tightly in Caspian’s arms.

She was wondering how she would have to explain herself later on.

“Caspian, we’re safe now. You can put me back down,” said Zoey while trying to hide her embarrassment.

Caspian might have been able to tell that her face was bright red if not for the pitch–black

environment.

“Sure,” said Caspian as he slowly put her on the ground.

“Thank you, Caspian. I couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if you hadn’t shown up today.”

Zoey stopped herself from thinking about the worst that could have happened.

She was immensely grateful that Caspian’s timely arrival had saved her.

He calmly explained, “You’re welcome. It’s only natural for me to help since you’re a good friend of Willow’s.”

Though he would have still lent a helping hand even if she had just been a stranger.

Because he was the Diatoranian God of War.

Protecting the safety of the country’s citizens was also part of his duty.

“Let’s go. This place is going to turn into a battlefield soon,” said Caspian.

Zoey nodded her head and slowly followed behind him.

Hundreds of stairs were lit up by only the moonlight.

She looked up at the stairs and said, “I’m sorry, but… I twisted my ankle, so I can’t really climb the stairs that well.”

“That’s fine. I’ll give you a piggyback ride. I’m sure Willow is worried sick for you up there.”

He then lowered himself to the ground.

“This might be too embarrassing

Even though she had just been carried away by him to safety, being given a piggyback ride just felt different.

“What’s the matter? Just get onto my back.”

“Okay, then.”

Zoey felt butterflies in her stomach as she climbed onto his back.

“What a soft sensation!” thought Caspian.

He couldn’t help but realize that he could really feel Zoey’s b*dy in this position.

He then started climbing the stairs with her in tow.

Bob was still trying to chase after them. “Chase after them! Don’t let Caspian get away!”

Right as he finished his words, the men surrounding him screamed aloud and flopped onto the ground after being shot.

The only thing Bob could see were flashes of light from among the darkness.

He wondered if Caspian was risking his life and trying to fight back.

He was dumbfounded when the light eventually illuminated the cave fully, revealing the incoming Diatoran troops.

“Shit! Take cover!”

Bob screamed aloud.

Behind him, Taylor began to panic as well.

He immediately ducked for cover behind a huge rock.

Macy angrily roared. “Are you the bastards who tried to hurt Lord Caspian? Kill them all!”

She laid down her orders with no hesitation.

And the troops behind her eagerly advanced toward their enemies.

Dozens of gunshots echoed within the cave.

Taylor was horrified. “What’s going on? Why are there so many Diatoran troops here?”

He had wanted to kill Caspian to score an achievement. But the appearance of such a large

“I don’t know! But it seems that there’s another entrance behind them. We’ll have to kill all of them if we want to bring the treasures out of here!” screamed Bob as he tried to return fire.

“Then what are we waiting for? Charge! My brothers! The treasures and our victory are at stake!” shouted Taylor.

It would have been a complete waste of effort if they were to be trapped by the Diatoran troops

as they tried to transport the treasures away.

From the other side, Sylvia had led her troops into the treasure vault through the stone door.

The Tigran special forces were still celebrating with the treasures and had never expected to be met with so many outsiders.

It was too late by the time they realized what was happening.

Sylvia ordered the troops to open fire, and the Tigran soldiers were unable to fight back as they had their hands full of treasures.

Within the narrow terrain of the cave, the soldier landing the preemptive strike would win the fight.

Within just two minutes, the Tigran special forces were wiped clean by Sylvia’s troops. Stragglers among the Tigran forces tried to make an escape deeper through the cave.

Taylor and Bob realized that the situation seemed awful. Although they couldn’t tell how many enemies they were facing, they realized from the gunshots that Macy’s troops outnumbered theirs.

They tried to retreat as they returned fire.

Their retreat eventually met up with their own men, which caused further confusion.

Taylor called out to the running soldiers, “Where are you guys running off to? Retreat! Enemies are in front of us!”

One of the men replied, “Mr. Taylor, we were packing up the treasures when a large group of soldiers came through the stone door and killed almost all of us!”

“What? We’re surrounded by the Diatoran soldiers! F***!”

Bob was horrified as he realized the gravity of the situation.

Taylor, Bob, and the rest of the Tigrans immediately lost all fervor to continue the fight as they realized that they were doomed.

Sylvia and Macy eventually eliminated all of the Tigran special forces.

+15 BONUS

Both Taylor and Bob were also killed.

Back on the surface, Caspian had carried Zoey all the way back up.

Willow finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw both Caspian and Zoey make it out alive and

unharmed.

Running over, she asked, “Hubby, Zoey, are you two okay?”

“I’m fine, Willow. But I twisted my ankle, so I had to ask Caspian to carry me.”

Zoey was embarrassed as she tried to get down from Caspian’s back.

She was relieved that Willow didn’t seem to be concerned about it.

“As long as you’re safe, Zoey. What about Sylvia and Macy?” asked Willow.

“They should be done with wiping out the Tigran soldiers by now. They’ll resurface soon,” answered Caspian.

He was very confident in both of their abilities.

500 Tigran soldiers wouldn’t be a challenge to either of them.

Willow was not convinced. “How is that possible? Don’t the Tigran forces have like 500 soldiers?”

Caspian confidently exclaimed, “My comrades are battle–hardened veterans. This is considered a small–scale battle. It’s only natural that it’s wrapped up quickly.”

True to his words, both Sylvia and Macy found their way back out within two minutes.

“Caspian, all of our enemies are confirmed to be eliminated,” reported Sylvia

“Very well. Proceed with transporting the treasures.”

Now that Bob and Taylor had been dealt with, the next step was to move all the treasures within Dragon’s Hill to safety.

Caspian decided that his next step was to remove all signs and remnants of Glorious Group from Southlake City.

“Caspian, there’s so much treasure within. Where should we even store everything?” asked Macy.
