Chapter 541 A Bloody Fight
"Commander 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 enemy''s 200-thousand-strong army.
"This is mission impossible—a David and Goliath battle!" a subordinatemented.
Logan asserted, "The King is in trouble. I''ll save him even if it costs me my life."
"But Commander Massey, why would you stay loyal to the King after he exiled you to the border?
"If we face off the enemy now, only death awaits us. Why don''t we surrender and pledge allegiance to
Filren?" the subordinate suggested.
"You jerk! I might be in exile, but I''m still a Diatoranian at heart. I''m no traitor! One more word from you,
and I''ll make you suffer!" Logan bellowed.
The subordinate quivered fearfully and promptly shut up.
At the same time, Logan couldn''t 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. "General Hans, they''ve caught up with us.
What do we do next?"
"Proceed at the quickest speed to Tenby Passage. The fighter jets won''t attack us since their King is in
our hands!" ordered Quinton.
At that moment, his priority was to keep the morale high.
"Roger that!"
Their sole hopey in reaching Tenby Passage. Although the fighter jets refrained from attacking
Quinton''s 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.
"Commander Massey, let me through. I can exin the situation to Filren, and I''ll make sure you''re
granted a dukedom!" Quinton yelled at Logan.
"Quinton Hans, you treacherous viin! The Massey family has faithfully served the royalty for
generations. We will never betray our country!" Logan retorted from the fort.
"So 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," argued Quinton.
"I''m exiled to guard Tenby Passage because of a mistake I made. You havemitted a great sin now
by holding the King hostage. I''ll promise you a dignified death if you''re willing to change your ways!"
Logan bellowed.
"Are you joking? Do you think you''re my match with your measly ten thousand men? We have a 200-
thousand-man army. Let me through, and I''ll spare the lives of your men!" snapped Quinton.
He did not take Logan as a threat because hemanded ten times the amount of soldiers than
Logan. All he needed to do was to leave Diatoran''s territory as soon as possible.
He had no time to lose as the enemy''s fighter jets had been tailing him. He worried that Caspian had
arrived at West Arinds.
It''d be best for him to leave Diatoran at the earliest. However, if he were to be caught in a battle with
Logan''s men, it''d take him some time to subdue the ten-thousand-men army.
"Quit the nonsense. I, Logan Massey, would rather die than join you in your treachery. You want to pass
through Tenby Passage? Over my dead body!" Logan had chosen to dy Quinton''s trip.
"Since you refuse to y nice, let''s go, boys! Take the Tenby Passage!" Quinton instructed.
He wasn''t about to waste more time with Logan''s stubbornness.
Quinton''s men started to attack upon receiving the orders. At that moment, 200 thousand men
descended on Tenby Passage.
"Listen up! It''s time to protect the nation! We must defend Tenby Passage. Charge, now!" 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 ce. Some Tenby Passage guards and Quinton''s men died in the
battle.

The resounding explosion at Tenby Passage shook the ground.
When the dawn broke, the King watched Logan fearlesslymand the army from the fort.
"Mr. Massey is a loyal man," the King remarked emotionally.
"Any 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," Lyndon chimed in remorsefully.
"The Massey family served Diatoran well. I believe I have misunderstood them," the King added with a
tinge of guilt.
…
Meanwhile, Estrya''s navy hadunched violent attacks on East Arinds, as the reinforcements hadn''t
arrived. The situation in East Arinds did not look favorable to Diatoran.
The entire country had learned about Quinton Hans'' treason and the King''s abduction in the West
Arinds. Naturally, the East Arinds 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 Arinds 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 tomand the battle in the east.
At the same time, the Champion of Central ins, Joseph Welch, heard the news about the coup in
West Arinds. 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 Caspian''s orders. After all, Caspian led the Five War Gods and was
appointed the sessor by the King. Of course, he had to obey Caspian''s orders.
…
In South Arinds, the intelligence units of Astronia and Vadesia had received news of Caspian
heading toward West Arinds.
Robert Valez and Viktor Obrien were ready to retreat from South Arinds, but with the new update,
they decided to break through Diatoran''s borders.
The North Arinds Champion, Benjamin Hart, was worried upon learning about Astronia and
Vadesia''s impending attack. Without Caspian around, he realized he had tomand the army alone.
Back at Tenby Passage, Loganunched a counterattack against Quinton''s men by taking advantage
of the geography. However, even if Tenby Passage was a geographically challenging ce to tackle,
Logan couldn''t handle the enemy''s 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
continuedmanding.
Quinton had given Filren a heads-up when he made his way to Tenby Passage. Therefore, Filren''s
army was on their way to provide reinforcements.
The Filrenian authorities were ted upon learning that Quinton had abducted the Diatoranian King,
and they were ready to back him up.
