Lord Chapter 603

Chapter 603 Ambush

“Step up patrols around the perimeter and send more people to protect me! Don’t let unrelated individuals come near me!” Viktor instructed his chief of security.

“Yes, sir!” the chief responded.

“Champion, what about Mr. Archer…”

Nicholas was standing right behind them in this instant.

“Keep him away from me!” Viktor ordered.

He didn’t want Nicholas to follow him around as he didn’t trust him. After all,

Nicholas was a Diatoranian. If he overheard the conversations between Viktor and his subordinates and then leaked the information, it would only put Viktor at a disadvantage.

“Mr. Archer, please keep your distance from our Champion!” the chief said.

Upon hearing this, Nicholas was completely flustered. He followed Viktor around because it was safer than being alone.

However, he didn’t expect Viktor to not let him get close.

“Champion Viktor, I just insulted the spy. She must be hiding now. If I stay away from you, I’m afraid she’ll assassinate me! So, let me stay with you,” Nicholas pleaded.

“No! I need to command my troops to fight against Diatoran. You’re a Diatoranian, so you absolutely can’t be by my side,” Viktor said.

As the Champion, Viktor had to see the bigger picture. Although Nicholas seemed to have pledged allegiance to him, he couldn’t afford to trust Nicholas completely.

The more Nicholas wanted to be by his side, the more he needed to keep him

away.

“But I’ve already defected to Astronia. I’m part of Astronia now,” Nicholas said anxiously.

Viktor clearly didn’t believe him.

Du ar

“No matter who you are, you can’t be this close to me. We’re in the middle of a war, so you’d better leave.” Viktor knew that a coward like Nicholas couldn’t be a spy, but he still wanted to kick him out.

“You’re just trying to get me killed, aren’t you? What if Laina wants to kill me? What should I do?” Nicholas asked anxiously.

“Who do you think you are? Why would Laina want to kill a nob*dy like you?”

“I almost took away her virginity. She must want to tear me to pieces now,” Nicholas answered.

“Don’t worry, she won’t kill you. If she does, she’ll expose herself. She’s not dumb enough to risk her own safety for someone like you. Right now, the person she wants to deal with the most should be me,” Viktor analyzed.

Nicholas nodded at his words.

Indeed, his status couldn’t be compared against Viktor. If Laina were to assassinate him, it would only expose herself and it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Mr. Archer, you’re most familiar with the Archer residence. You should know where Laina might be hiding. Go assist Kaizer in the search. As long as we capture her, we won’t have to worry anymore,” Viktor said.

“Alright!” Nicholas nodded.

He didn’t dare to stay by Viktor’s side for fear of angering him.

With that, Nicholas followed Kazier to begin searching the villa.

At the Hudson residence.

“General! Bad news! We’re falling and can’t hold on anymore! Diatoran’s troops are about to attack!” A deputy hurriedly ran over to report.

“No matter what, we must hold on. Champion Viktor has sent his troops to support us,” Robert said.

Once they collapsed, they were done for.

“When will they arrive? We really can’t hold on anymore!” the deputy asked anxiously.

“It won’t be long. I talked to Viktor on the phone just over ten minutes ago. His troops will arrive in 20 minutes,” Robert answered,

Caspian and Phoenix Vanguard hadn’t entered the battle yet.

Caspian was waiting for the perfect opportunity to lead his team into the battle and then capture Robert!

At this moment, the reinforcements sent by Viktor were on their way.

Suddenly, there were sounds of gunfire on both sides of the road.

These reinforcements were only focused on rushing and didn’t pay attention to their surroundings at all.

The armored battalion, who had been lying in ambush for a while, began their attack.

They had been waiting there for a long time according to Caspian’s plan.

40 thousand armored soldiers were lying in ambush on both sides of the road. These reinforcements were frightened and didn’t even know how to retaliate.

They were in a mess.

After a round of attacks, nearly half of the enemy troops were dead.

“Quick! Counter–attack! Counter–attack!” the leading commander roared.

These reinforcements began to counter–attack.

The two sides engaged in fierce gun battles. Although the reinforcements came to their senses and attacked, they were already at a disadvantage.

The armored battalion was formidable to begin with, and coupled with their advantageous positions, they forced the enemy troops to defeat.

The armored battalion was taught by Caspian, so their skills were amazing.

After two rounds of attacks, the commander saw heavy losses and immediately called Viktor.

“Champion! We were ambushed!” the commander said anxiously.

“What?” Viktor was somewhat surprised.

Why would there be an ambush halfway?

Could it be that Caspian anticipated that he would come to Robert’s aid?

“We’ve lost half of our troops now. If we continue, our entire army will be wiped out!” the commander said urgently.

“You absolutely can’t’retreat. You must break through and meet up with Robert’s troops. Even if you retreat now, the enemy won’t let you go,” Viktor said.

“But these soldiers are all armored soldiers. We’re no match for them!”

+15 BONUS

“You only have one way to go, and that’s to break through. Retreating will only lead to a dead end! You must break through!” Viktor said firmly.

He didn’t allow the reinforcements to retreat because he was considering his own safety.

If they withdrew, the armored soldiers would surely pursue them. By then, he would be in danger.

So, he ordered the troops to resist with their lives. As long as they were able to buy him time, it would be worth it.

Viktor’s only hope was to wait for the support from the International Alliance. Otherwise, both he and Robert would die in Diatoran.

“Understood!” The commander could only grit his teeth and follow orders.

He hung up the phone and began to command his subordinates, trying to break through.

The soldiers charged fiercely with the determination to die.

But the armored soldiers had blocked their way, and they had no chance of breaking through.

At the Hudson residence, a conversation was taking place.

“Champion, we only have less than 20 thousand troops left. What should we do now?” a deputy hurriedly reported.

“What? We’ve only been fighting for a short time, and we’re left with so few troops?” Are you all useless?” Robert roared.

“The Diatoranians came prepared. Their weapons are advanced, and they outnumber us. We’re simply no match!” the deputy said helplessly.

“Hold on a bit longer. The reinforcements will be here soon,” Robert said.

“But it’s already been half an hour, and they still haven’t shown up. We really can’t hold on anymore. We’ll be defeated soon!”
