Chapter 494 Attacked on the Way Back


    Caspian''s actions incited public outrage. There were many who were openly cursing him on the streets.


    Willow would be upset if she knew that themander was her husband. Besides, there was no way


    they could reveal Caspian''s identity when the civilians of Soutke City were so agitated.


    "How would I possibly know about the affairs in the military?" Willow asked puzzledly.


    She would never imagine that themander who was being hurled with insults by tens of thousands


    of people was her own husband.


    "Themander''s identity will definitely be revealed once the war ends," Sylvia exined.


    "Alright then. Can you tell me about Caspian''s current situation? I''m more worried about him," Willow


    questioned.


    "Rest assured, Willow. Caspian has been through hundreds of battles. He''ll definitely be safe," Sylvia


    replied reassuringly.


    …


    At the same time, the military troops in Soutke City had begun to station themselves at the


    coastlines.


    The senior general, John Anderson, had led the withdrawal of the naval troops. The cities by the


    coastlines would be a strategic location for the uing battle.


    The firstmander to be stationed at Soutke City was Desmond Patten. He was a renowned


    general officer in South Arinds. This time, Caspian appointed him as themander of the


    vanguards.


    Desmond had once wiped out tens of thousands of the enemy''s forces with only a thousand soldiers.


    That battle earned him great fame.


    Once he stepped foot into the city, he immediately went to the front lines. Desmond began tomand


    troops at the coastline that was a few hundred miles long.


    At the same time, the Champion of Central ins, Joseph Welch, had also arrived with reinforcements.


    A portion of the soldiers were air-dropped directly into the city. There were even fighter jets that were in


    charge of transporting several thousand soldiers to Soutke City.


    Time was of the essence. Diatoran had mobilized all resources to be used inbat.


    The entire city was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. The streets were filled with thetest weapons,


    tanks, and rocket cars. All of the citizens in Diatoran were paying attention to the war.


    However, they were all furious upon hearing the retreatment of the naval forces.


    As they began to hurl insults at themander, even some of the media were stepping out to


    condemn Caspian.


    …


    "Commander, the retreat of the naval forces has caused the discontent of the public. Many of them are


    berating you. Should we intervene in the matter?" Benjamin asked.


    They were currently in South Arinds''mand center.


    "Looks like they don''t know that I''m themander of the war," Caspian stated.


    "Yes, sir. Although the citizens have no idea, the enemy''s forces are well aware of your identity. As the


    war progresses, sooner orter, your identity will be exposed …" Benjamin replied worriedly.


    "It''s fine. I don''t care about such things. Who''s the onemanding the battle—me or them?" Caspian


    asked disdainfully.


    As the Diatoran God of War, it would be too pathetic if everyone could figure out what he was thinking.


    "I understand. It''s fine as long as you don''t take it to heart." Benjamin nodded.


    "As long as we achieve victory, it''s fine if they curse at me. I''m just worried whether the enemy will fall


    into our trap. Will they attack from Soutke City''s coastline?" Caspian continued.


    "Soutke City and Gartham are the closest cities to the sea. But inparison, Soutke City is


    more suitable for them tond. They''ll definitely choose Soutke City!" Benjamin said.


    Caspian was in deep thought. The matter wasn''t as simple as it seemed. The scale of the operation


    was unprecedented.


    The enemy''s generals weren''t easy to deal with.


    "Robert and Viktor are renowned Gods of War of their respective countries. They know who I am, so


    they''ll definitely spend time studying me. For all we know, they might have already seen through our


    ns.


    "We have to be prepared. We can''t put all our eggs in one basket. We need to grasp theirtest


    intelligence so that we can adapt ordingly," Caspian warned.


    "Yes! I''ll make sure the intelligence department gathers the intelligence we need. I''llmand the rest


    of the troops to station along the entire coastline of the country," Benjamin stated.


    As the war broke out, Caspian became increasingly worried for Willow''s safety. He decided to give


    Sylvia a call.


    Sylvia, Macy, and the others were preparing to escort Willow back to the vi. However, they stopped


    on their way back to look at the civilians who had crowded the streets of the city.


    Grouping together, the citizens fervently point out the mistakes in themander''s military tactics.


    It was then that Sylvia noticed Caspian''s call. However, she did not pick up for fear of revealing any


    secrets. After all, there were eyes all over the ce.


    "Macy, protect Willow. I need to pick up a call," Sylviamanded.


    "Yes." Macy nodded her head. She knew it was an important call.


    "Ms. Frost, is it a call from my husband?" Willow asked.


    "No, it''s not," Sylvia lied. She had a feeling that Caspian had something important to instruct her.


    Nodding her head, Willow did not ask further.


    Moving to a secluded corner, Sylvia picked up the call. "What are your orders, Caspian?" she asked.


    "It''s nothing much. I just want you to protect Willow," Caspian replied.


    "Caspian, would it be possible to ask someone else to be in charge of Willow''s safety?" Sylvia asked


    cautiously.


    "Why''s that?" he questioned.


    "It''s nothing. I''m just a little anxious. The other generals are all preparing to charge into the battle. I also


    want to be on the battlefield," Sylvia answered.


    She wouldn''t mind being Willow''s bodyguard if the world was at peace. But with the war looming


    ahead, she felt a little wronged for a general officer like her to be a mere bodyguard.


    "Your current mission is to protect Willow. This is an order. I''ll let you have some fun when the time is

    right," Caspian instructed.


    "The enemy might send assassins to harm Willow at any time. I''ll be under their control if Willow gets


    captured. So, the mission you''re carrying out now is equally as important," he continued.


    "I understand, but why don''t you bring Willow to South Arinds? She''ll definitely be safe there," Sylvia


    questioned.


    Caspian was getting a little impatient. "You talk too much, Sylvia. I have my own ns. All you need to


    do is to follow my orders. I''ll find someone else to rece you if you don''t want to do it," he answered.


    Caspian had his hands full with military affairs. He didn''t want to be distracted by anything else.


    "No, I wouldn''t dare. I''ll definitely protect Willow," Sylvia replied.


    Soon after, Caspian hung up. Sylvia immediately returned to Willow''s side.


    "Let''s hurry up and return, Willow. It''s not safe out here," Sylvia urged. The longer they were out in the


    open, the more danger they would be in.


    "Alright, let''s go back." Willow knew how serious the current situation was. Not only that, she was also


    Caspian''s wife.


    It was inevitable that they might be targeted by the enemy given her special identity. She was also


    afraid that any unexpected incidents might ur. Therefore, it would be better for her to return to the


    vi first.


    Just then, a group of people appeared in front of them. Brandishing their weapons, they aimed for


    Willow.


    "Protect the God of War''s wife!" Sylvia shouted upon seeing them.
