Chapter 517 Making an Example Out of Someone


    Upon returning to the vi, both went back to their respective rooms to resume their slumber.


    Caspian was afraid that Willow would have awoken. Thankfully, she was still fast asleep.


    Nothing happened all night.


    In the morning, Caspian received thetest news saying that Vadesia and Astronia''s negotiations with


    Necros seemed to have fallen through.


    The three countries became entangled in a dispute as Necros refused to open up a passage for them.


    Necros was no fool. They were co-dependent on Diatoran. If anything happened to Diatoran, their


    country would be in imminent danger as well.


    Immediately, Caspian called Sylvia and Macy over. He nned to check on the situation at the


    coastline of Soutke City. He would head over to Necros in person if the situation called for it.


    "I''ll wait for you, Caspian. You must be careful," Willow yelled.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll be sure to return home safely," Caspian said before turning around to get into the


    armored car.


    With the imminence of war, he could no longer afford to worry about his personal feelings.


    Once Astronia and Vadesia broke through Necros'' line of defense, they would be in the vicinity of


    Soutke City.


    By then, the entire Soutke City would be very dangerous. Caspian could definitely have Willow


    transferred to Dhord City as it was safer there.


    However, the people would not take this news well as Willow was his wife. Once the news spread, it


    would definitely cause them to panic.


    For that reason, he had Willow continue staying in Soutke City.


    Even though he had brought Sylvia and Macy with him, he left dozens of armored guards in Soutke


    City to protect Willow.


    Now that the war wasing, he needed Sylvia and Macy to be on the front line. They were his best


    fighters.


    To have them stay back to protect Willow would be a waste of their talent.


    Willow and Zoey stood outside the vi as they watched Caspian''s car leave.


    …


    At this very moment, some troops from Astronia and Vadesia decided to cross Necros by using


    submarines.


    Necros was a small country that was easy to deal with. They did not want to spend a second more on


    Necros as their ultimate target was Soutke City.


    The advanced troops of Astronia and Vadesia used their radars to detect all the bombs that had been


    ced by Diatoran on the seabed. They managed to get through sessfully without detonating the


    bombs.


    After all, the technology of these countries was very advanced as well.


    Instantly, news about the armies of Astronia and Vadesia appearing on the coastline spread across


    Soutke City.


    The entire Soutke City was plunged into chaos. Some of the more timid ones even fled the city.


    As the armored vehicles passed through the streets of Soutke City, Caspian saw a lot of people


    holding banners on the street. They seemed to be very emotional.


    "Caspian, the chiefmander of South Arinds is a coward!"


    "The chiefmander backed down before the war! Rece him!"


    "Too cowardly to fight! Rece him! Rece him!"


    "The disgrace of Diatoran!"


    …


    The Stewart family exposed Caspian''s identity as the chiefmander who ordered the naval retreat.


    Like a stone that disturbed an otherwise peacefulke, a ripple effect was created.


    Many knew that Astronia and Vadesia were drawing near to Soutke City. For that reason, they


    began to take it to the streets and demand for the chiefmander to be reced.


    They were not concerned with whatever a "Diatoran God of War" was. They would support anyone as


    long as that person could protect them.


    For now, all they wanted was someone valorous to enter the battle as their chiefmander!


    Just a day earlier, Caspian had the reverence of the people of Soutke City. However, his reputation


    seemed to have been tarnished overnight. Half of the people of Soutke City were criticizing him now.


    Caspian felt rather frustrated that the situation had turned disorderly.


    "I can''t believe they''re making a scene here, Lord Caspian. I''ll go and teach them a lesson!" Sylvia


    fumed when she saw the banners.


    "No, don''t mind them," Caspian said.


    "But they''re ndering the good name of the Diatoran God of War. Should we just let them do


    whatever they want?" Sylvia asked impatiently.


    "They must have misunderstood us because they have no idea what''s going on. It''spletely


    understandable for them to be resentful now," Caspian said.


    "But they''ve crossed the line with their insolent remarks. I just can''t stand it anymore," Sylvia said


    furiously.


    "Once we win the war, they''ll know why I had to do what I did," Caspian said.


    "Have you figured out how you''re going to defeat the enemy?" Sylvia asked.


    Caspian had not disclosed his strategy to them.


    "Of course. First, we''ll provide reinforcement to Necros and help them with the defense against


    Astronia and Vadesia. As for the advanced troops, we''ll just let them in.


    "Once they''re within range, we''ll annihte them!" Caspian said.


    As the Diatoran God of War, he had already devised aplete battle n in his mind.

    "I knew it. You must''ve had your reason for asking the maritime troops to retreat."


    "Once they''re near Soutke City, we''ll use the suppressive fire tactic. How''s the situation in Necros?"


    Caspian asked.


    "Got it. But how did these civilians know that you''re the chiefmander?" Sylvia asked.


    "I''m not sure either. Only a small number of people know about the identity of the chiefmander.


    They might have inferred from the procession yesterday." Caspian had wondered about it as well, and


    this seemed to be the only possible exnation.


    "Could the leak of your identity as the chiefmandere from a group who wants to disrupt the


    stability of Soutke City?" Sylvia asked as she pondered.


    "With the urgency of the war''s situation, let''s not worry too much about this," Caspian advised.


    It was a waste of time to linger on such trivial matters.


    "Guys, look! Caspian''s vehicle has appeared! Don''t let him get away!"


    At that moment, Richard was among a crowd. He yelled as he pointed at Caspian''s vehicle.


    When the people around him heard that Caspian had appeared, they immediately rushed over.


    Thousands of people blocked the streets.


    The vehicle that Caspian was in had toe to a stop.


    "Come out, Caspian! Someone like you is not worthy of bing the chiefmander!" Nichs


    shouted as well.


    The anger within those civilians burned even more intensely after hearing what Nichs had just said.


    Caspian started piecing the puzzles together when he saw Richard and Nichs.


    The leaking of his identity must have had something to do with them and the Stewart family.


    They wanted to use public opinion to their advantage and ruin Caspian''s reputation.


    "These people are obstructing the army when there''s a war going on. Have them evacuated


    immediately within three minutes. Otherwise, they shall be held ountable for their actions!


    "Have our men punish Nichs, Richard, and whoever''s with them. Make an example out of them!"


    Caspian ordered.


    This was a serious matter. Caspian could not afford to be lenient.


    "Yes, Lord Caspian!"


    Sylvia nodded before immediately leading a few men out of the car!
