Chapter 542 Arriving at Tenby Passage
As long as Quinton sessfully brought the Diatoranian King to Filren, Filren would easily subjugate
the Five War Gods. It would be a huge win for Filren.
Amid this critical time, Quinton''s forces initiated an assault on the city wall. The two opposing armies
engaged in closebat, and Logan, leading his troops, fought fiercely against the rebels.
The King was greatly moved at the sight of a bloodied Logan who still gave his best to fight. "Logan
Massey is a loyalmander. After this war, I will duly reward him."
Observing the deteriorating situation, the fighter jets soaring above promptly ryed the rming
developments to Caspian.
Though Caspian was six miles away from Tenby Passage, the passage was on the verge of falling into
Quinton''s hands. He reluctantlymanded the fighter jets to target Quinton''s forces while ensuring
the safety of the King.
With that, the pilots started bombing their enemies. Quinton''s army, which had proceeded smoothly a
minute ago, was bombed into oblivion by the city wall.
Since the King remained in Quinton''s hands, the fighter jets had to fire on the men by the city wall. It
wasn''t the most effective strategy, but it at least provided much-needed relief in the crisis.
Witnessing the fighter jets retaliating, Logan and his troops gained renewed vigor, charging at the
enemy with full force.
Aware that the jets refrained from targeting him to avoid harming the King, Quinton decided to stay
close to thetter for safety. He ordered his forces tounch missiles at the fighter jets, sessfully
taking down a considerable number.
Meanwhile, Logan and his men had sessfully taken out the enemies who had breached the city
wall.
Quinton, aware that Caspian was nearing, understood the increasing danger. His fate would be sealed
if he failed to pass through the Tenby Passage.
To seed, he''d have to seize Tenby Passage before Caspian arrived. Left with no choice, he devised
a n andmanded, "Bring the King to the front! Continue the assault on the city walls!"
His men understood his motive. With the King as a shield, Logan''s forces would hesitate to retaliate,
and even the fighter jets would exercise caution in their attacks.
"You cowards! Seize the Tenby Passage through your own strength! Using the King as a shield is an
act of cowardice," Lyndon barked at the sight of the King being brought to the frontline, but his protests
fell on deaf ears.
Following closely behind the King, Quinton knew that the close distance would ensure his personal
safety. The rest of his men followed suit behind the King.
"Halt! Do not harm the King!" Logan shouted when he saw the King being positioned at the forefront.
The army guarding the passage dared not use heavy artillery against their enemy, and the fighter jets
suspended their attacks. The sudden turn of events caught them by surprise.
"Do not cease the attack because of me. Under no circumstances should you let the rebels pass!" the
King eximed, seeing his forcese to a standstill. Despite hismands, Logan''s forces
hesitated, fearing harm to the King.
Even the pilots in the fighter jets overheard the King''s impassioned plea, but none resumed the attacks,
afraid of beingbeled criminals for identally causing the King''s death.
"Logan Massey, this is an order! End me!" the King thundered at Logan, anxious that Quinton would
escape unscathed if Logan dragged his feet.
"Your Majesty, I cannotply! Forgive me for not following your order," Logan responded.
"You must listen to me. Otherwise, the rebels will take me through Tenby Passage, turning me into a
captive of Filren! I''d rather die than be a burden to Diatoran!" the King pleaded.
"Your Majesty, you''ll be just fine. Caspian Lynch, the Diatoranian God of War, will be here to rescue you
shortly," Logan insisted.
"There''s no time to waste. Quinton would have left Tenby Passage by the time Lord Caspian arrived.
This is an order—shoot at me!" the King yelled.
"I cannot possibly do that, Your Majesty. Please stop asking me," Logan said, feeling troubled.
How could he possibly shoot at the King?
"Do you want to make me a captive of Filren? I will lead a life without dignity. My death will be worth it if
it leads our army to fight without fear," the King dered in agitation.
He was never one to fear death. All he worried about was bing a burden to the Diatoranian Army.
"Your Majesty, what if Lord Caspian is en route? He will surely rescue you," Logan argued.
While he spoke, Quinton''s forces had brought the King to the city wall.

"Act now! Are you defying my orders? You will be held ountable if the rebels step out of Tenby
Passage!" the King urged Logan.
"No, Your Majesty. I will never shoot at you," Logan affirmed.
Amid Logan''s hesitation, the rebels had surrounded the city wall. Quinton waved and yelled, "Charge!"
The rebels charged upon the orders, leaving Logan with no choice but to fight against the rebels while
the fighter jets watched on to avoid hurting the King.
The rebels surged toward the remaining ten thousand defenders at Tenby Passage, a number
insufficient to repel the impending onught.
Despite Logan''s relentless involvement in the battle, the tide turned against him. Injured from the fight,
he was visibly exhausted.
Just as the rebels were about to seize the passage, the ground resonated with the thunderous sounds
of several hundred armored vehicles advancing through the dust.
The shocking sound stunned everyone present, attracting their attention. Several hundred armored
vehicles, along with missile carriers and other advanced equipment, were approaching Tenby Passage.
The King, Lyndon, Logan, and the Diatoranian Army felt a surge of joy at the sight of the leader of the
armored vehicles—he was none other than the Diatoranian God of War, Caspian Lynch.
On the other hand, Quinton and his men became nervous. Their worst nightmare hade true.
Quinton''s initial n was to seize Tenby Passage before Caspian''s arrival, after which he would be
protected by the Filrenian Army. Unfortunately, Caspian''s unexpected arrival dealt a severe blow to
him.
Despair enveloped him as his ns crumbled. Before he could seize Tenby Passage, Caspian had
rushed to the scene with reinforcements.
