Chapter 532 Preconceived ns
"I''m a senior general, and you''re just a general! Now that His Majesty has gone to rest, I''m in charge
here. Are you defying orders?" Quinton said bluntly.
"The troops in the West Arinds War Zone are already engaged in borderbat, making the
internal forces in the war zone limited.
"If I take my troops to support, the war zone will be empty. I''m afraid this will put His Majesty in
danger," Ferb exined.
"I''m here in the war zone. What are you afraid of? Aren''t my troops strong enough?" Quinton
disdainfully retorted.
"But if the enemy knows there are no forces inside the war zone andunches a sudden attack, it will
be dangerous. His Majesty only has a few guards here. You and your troops won''t be enough to fight
against the enemy if they were to attack," Ferb argued.
"The enemy is currently engaged in borderbat. How could they ambush us here? Our aircraft have
been monitoring the enemy, and they have no chance.
"General Zonia, are you afraid to fight and choose to be a coward? His Majesty has given the order
that whoever runs away from battle will be faced with the death sentence!" Quinton said.
"Of course I''m not afraid to fight! I''m just concerned about His Majesty''s safety. Regardless, I will stay
here to protect His Majesty!" Ferb expressed his unwavering loyalty to the King. He didn''t want to
leave, fearing for Balthazar''s safety.
Currently, there were only two groups of soldiers in the West Arinds War Zone. If he took his troops
away, only Quinton''s troops would remain.
If he stayed, he could still control Quinton. But the King would be in danger if Quinton were to turn
against them while he was away. Though the guards around His Majesty were formidable, their

numbers were limited.
The King was the lifeline of Diatoran and should not be put in any danger!
"Are you stupid? I told you I''ll stay here. Nothing will happen to His Majesty. Are you trying to go
against me?" Quinton said impatiently.
"What if someone in your troops has ulterior motives and wants to harm His Majesty?" Ferb had long
felt that Quinton was suspicious, but he couldn''t exactly figure out why.
Besides, his rank wasn''t as high as Quinton''s. However, he had no evidence to support his suspicion.
So, he couldn''t say anything.
"Bastard! What do you mean? Do you think I''ll betray my country?" Quinton was enraged.
"I dared not say that. I didn''t say you''re unloyal to the country, but I think your troops might," Ferb
quickly exined.
"Nonsense! My troops have undergone rigorous training and were carefully selected. Each of them is
loyal to His Majesty!" Quinton shouted.
Ferb dared not argue further and remained silent.
"As a senior general, I now order you to immediately lead your troops to reinforce!" Quinton sternly
"I must report this to His Majesty first," Ferb insisted.
"His Majesty hasn''t rested for 24 hours. I''m inmand now. Are you going to disobey my orders?"
Quinton pressured.
"I dare not," Ferb replied.
"Then, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take your troops to the border! The front line
in West Arinds is under heavy gunfire. The reinforcements from the Central ins have yet to
reach.
"If Diatoran loses the war because of you, you''ll be the biggest sinner in Diatoran. By then,
everyone will despise you!"
"Understood!" Ferb nodded as he could onlyply.
Ferb took his subordinates and left the West Arinds War Zone.
As soon as Ferb left, Quinton immediately convened a meeting with his troops.
"Everyone, Diatoran is attacked from all sides. How long do you think this battle willst? What insights
do you have?" Quinton asked the crowd.
Quinton had long been bought off by Filren.
Filren had offered very tempting conditions to Quinton. If he were to coborate with them, capture the
King, and assist Filren to enter West Arinds, he would be made the king of West Arinds once
they achieved victory.
This was a golden opportunity for Quinton since only his troops remained in the war zone at the
moment.
So, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot!
However, he didn''t know what his subordinates were thinking, so he asked for everyone''s opinion.
If anyone were to oppose, he could directly kill them to ensure that everything was smoothed out
before proceeding to the next step.
Upon hearing Quinton''s question, everyone sighed.
"I think Diatoran is doomed. I''m afraid the enemy will finally get to us this time." Quinton''s confidant
spoke first.
"I share the same view. Diatoran may fall as we are currently surrounded by enemies on all sides.
There''s no certainty of victory.
Besides, all four directions—east, west, south, and north—are already in a struggle. We will
undoubtedly be defeated if we continue," another close aide of Quinton stated.
"Exactly. The situation here in West Arinds is the most terrible. Filren has strong military power, and
we won''t be able to hold on for a long time."
At that moment, a soldier named Brax Junior stood up and said firmly, "Diatoran is vast and rich in
resources and talented individuals.
"Although we''re surrounded by enemies on all sides, I believe in the strength of our nation to resist the
attacks of these countries. Victory will eventually belong to us!"
Upon hearing Brax''s words, Quinton''s expression turned stern.
"Haha! I want to know how Diatoran can repel the enemy. With enemies on all sides, Diatoran will be
caught in a pincer attack if any side is breached, which leads to unimaginable consequences!" another
one of Quinton''s trusted aides added.
"Thetest intelligence report indicates that North Arinds has already won. The situation there is
now stable. As for South Arinds, since Lord Caspian ismanding the battle, they wouldn''t lose.
"Meanwhile, the situation in East Arinds is a bit precarious now, but once our troops and warships
arrive, we can reverse the situation.
"As for West Arinds, the reinforcements are on their way. As long as they arrive in time, Filren will
never break through our defense line. By then, we canunch a counterattack and repel them without
any problem!"
Brax carefully analyzed the current situation.
"Nonsense! North Arinds did win, but the enemy is likely to regroup andunch another attack. We
won''t be able to withstand it," a general said.
Realizing something was amiss, Brax stood up and shouted, "What do you mean? Everyone here is a
general in Diatoran. We should believe in our country, right? Do you want to be a traitor and side
with the enemy?"
