Lord Chapter 541
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 541 A Bloody Fight
âCommander Massey, could this be a trap set up by Caspian Lynch? He knew of our insufficient manpower at Tenby Passage but insisted we fight against the enemyâs 200-thousand-strong army.
âThis is mission impossible-a David and Goliath battle!â a subordinate lamented.
Logan asserted, âThe King is in trouble. Iâll save him even if it costs me my life.â
âBut Commander Massey, why would you stay loyal to the King after he exiled you to the border?
âIf we face off the enemy now, only death awaits us. Why donât we surrender and pledge allegiance to Filren?â the subordinate suggested.
âYou jerk! I might be in exile, but Iâm still a Diatoranian at heart. Iâm no traitor! One more word from you, and Iâll make you suffer!â Logan bellowed.
The subordinate quivered fearfully and promptly shut up.
At the same time, Logan couldnât help but wonder if Caspian was truly his son. After a two-decade search, he finally got hold of some clue not long ago.
Quinton Hans urgently led his men to Tenby Passage, but along the journey, they were pursued by around ten enemy fighter jets.
Stunned by the situation, his subordinate gasped in panic. âGeneral Hans, theyâve caught up with us. What do we do next?â
âProceed at the quickest speed to Tenby Passage. The fighter jets wonât attack us since their King is in our hands!â ordered Quinton.
At that moment, his priority was to keep the morale high.
âRoger that!â
Their sole hope lay in reaching Tenby Passage. Although the fighter jets refrained from attacking Quintonâs men, their presence exerted constant pressure.
Quinton and his men hastened to Tenby Passage. Upon arrival, the army at the passage had fortified their defenses.
âCommander Massey, let me through. I can explain the situation to Filren, and Iâll make sure youâre granted a dukedom!â Quinton yelled at Logan.

âQuinton Hans, you treacherous villain! The Massey family has faithfully served the royalty for generations. We will never betray our country!â Logan retorted from the fort.
âSo what? Just look at you now, you pathetic thing. Diatoran is now surrounded by enemies at all sides, and your King is in my hands. Your country is no more. You should switch your loyalty to Filren for your future,â argued Quinton.
âIâm exiled to guard Tenby Passage because of a mistake I made. You have committed a great sin now by holding the King hostage. Iâll promise you a dignified death if youâre willing to change your ways!â Logan bellowed.
âAre you joking? Do you think youâre my match with your measly ten thousand men? We have a 200-thousand-man army. Let me through, and Iâll spare the lives of your men!â snapped Quinton.
He did not take Logan as a threat because he commanded ten times the amount of soldiers than Logan. All he needed to do was to leave Diatoranâs territory as soon as possible.
He had no time to lose as the enemyâs fighter jets had been tailing him. He worried that Caspian had arrived at West Aridlands.
Itâd be best for him to leave Diatoran at the earliest. However, if he were to be caught in a battle with Loganâs men, itâd take him some time to subdue the ten- thousand-men army.
âQuit the nonsense. I, Logan Massey, would rather die than join you in your treachery. You want to pass through Tenby Passage? Over my dead b*dy!â Logan had chosen to delay Quintonâs trip.
âSince you refuse to play nice, letâs go, boys! Take the Tenby Passage!â Quinton instructed.
He wasnât about to waste more time with Loganâs stubbornness.
Quintonâs men started to attack upon receiving the orders. At that moment, 200 thousand men descended on Tenby Passage.
âListen up! Itâs time to protect the nation! We must defend Tenby Passage. Charge, now!â Logan yelled and waved at his men.
The army at Tenby Passage immediately started their counterattack. The area turned into a battlefield with bullets raining all over the place. Some Tenby Passage guards and Quintonâs men died in the battle.
The resounding explosion at Tenby Passage shook the ground.

When the dawn broke, the King watched Logan fearlessly command the army from the fort.
âMr. Massey is a loyal man,â the King remarked emotionally.
âAny ordinary man would have surrendered in the face of the enemy, but Commander Massey seems ready to sacrifice. He joined the battle with the readiness to die,â Lyndon chimed in remorsefully.
âThe Massey family served Diatoran well. I believe I have misunderstood them,â the King added with a tinge of guilt.
Meanwhile, Estryaâs navy had launched violent attacks on East Aridlands, as the reinforcements hadnât arrived. The situation in East Aridlands did not look favorable to Diatoran.
The entire country had learned about Quinton Hansâ treason and the Kingâs abduction in the
West Aridlands. Naturally, the East Aridlands Champion, Keith Warren, was aware of the worsening situation as well.
Since the King was in grave trouble, Keith was eager to contribute to the rescue mission. He consulted with Caspian on the matter, only to be told to stand guard in East Aridlands without worrying about the other frontlines.
He was relieved to learn that Caspian had arrived in West Aridlnds to save the King. All he needed to do was to command the battle in the east.
At the same time, the Champion of Central Plains, Joseph Welch, heard the news about the coup in West Aridlands. Feeling shocked and frustrated, he wanted to immediately join the rescue mission.
However, Caspian ordered him to guard Dhord City just in case.
Joseph dared not go against Caspianâs orders. After all, Caspian led the Five War Gods and was appointed the successor by the King. Of course, he had to obey Caspianâs orders.
In South Aridlands, the intelligence units of Astronia and Vadesia had received news of Caspian heading toward West Aridlands.
Robert Valez and Viktor Obrien were ready to retreat from South Aridlands, but with the new update, they decided to break through Diatoranâs borders.
The North Aridlands Champion, Benjamin Hart, was worried upon learning

realized he had to command the army alone.
Back at Tenby Passage, Logan launched a counterattack against Quintonâs men by taking advantage of the geography. However, even if Tenby Passage was a geographically challenging place to tackle, Logan couldnât handle the enemyâs forces with just 20 thousand men.
Half of his men at Tenby Passage had been killed. Even though he was struck by a stray bullet, he continued commanding.
Quinton had given Filren a heads-up when he made his way to Tenby Passage. Therefore, Filrenâs army was on their way to provide reinforcements.
The Filrenian authorities were elated upon learning that Quinton had abducted the Diatoranian King, and they were ready to back him up.
