Chapter 613 Last Stand
The remaining enemy soldiers could not resist the revitalized Diatoran troops in Soutke City.
Coupled with the support of fighter nes, the enemy troops were being cleaned up left and right.
Sylvia''s and Desmond''s troops each headed for the Archer residence with great morale.
The reinforcements sent by Viktor were already blown into smithereens before they even reached the
Hudson residence.
Meanwhile, at the Archer residence, Viktor angrilyined, "Robert, that bastard! Didn''t he always
boast about how powerful he was? And now he''s dead!"
A senior officer chimed in, "Yeah, Robert always imed that he could defeat Caspian by himself.
Turns out he was just overestimating himself!"
Another officermented, "Robert nned to join us after defeating Caspian. Seems like it won''t be
happening now."
Viktor hurriedly exined, "We should begin preparing to deal with Caspian''s troops."
"I think we should call back our reinforcements and set up defenses around the Archer residence while
we wait for reinforcements from the International Alliance."
Viktor ordered, "Very well. Call back our reinforcements! We''ll set up defenses here!"
The next moment, an intelligence officer ran into the room. "General Obrien! Bad news!"
Viktor frowned at the man and asked, "What is it?"
He felt that something bad wasing.
"The reinforcements we had sent to Robert werepletely wiped out by Diatoran fighter nes!"

Viktor was shocked beyond relief upon hearing the news that his men were all annihted.
"General Obrien!" Another intelligence officer ran into the room.
Viktor impatiently asked, "What is it?"
"Our troops stationed on the coastline alongside our Vadesian allies were also wiped out by Diatoran
forces!"
Viktor fell into despair. "What? How is that possible?"
"The Diatoran forces are now gathering around us! We''re in danger!"
Viktor subconsciously swallowed as he started getting nervous.
One of the officers asked, "What should we do, General Obrien?"
"How am I supposed to know? Robert, that bastard! He asked me for reinforcements, and now he''s
gone along with my troops! We don''t have much left to defend ourselves! What else can we do?"
One of the strategic officers replied, "Please calm down, General Obrien. We should think about how to
deal with Caspian''s men."
Viktor angrily replied, "There''s nothing we can do. We only have 70 thousand men left, while hundreds
of thousands of Diatoran troops are closing in on us. We have no chance of winning this."
It was the first time he had be so frustrated.
"General Obrien, I believe you cane up with a perfect solution with your experience! You must
remain calm!"
Viktor shook his head. "We''re alone in Soutke City. Nobody ising to save us."
"We should give His Majesty a call and ask for reinforcements from the International Alliance! They
might be able to deal with Diatoran!"
Viktor nodded as he grasped at thest possible straw. "Very well. Get in contact with His Majesty
immediately!"
He began to exin his circumstances after the satellite call was connected. "Your Majesty, our troops
are in grave danger. Caspian is currently gathering his men around our location.
"Please get in contact with the International Alliance and request reinforcements, or have them
convince Diatoran to cease fire!"
"Viktor, I''ve already talked to Alexander about it."
Viktor asked, "What did he say?"
"They want nothing to do with this war. We''ll be dealing with this alone."
"Didn''t Diatoran vite international agreements with their missiles? Is the alliance going to turn a blind
eye on this?"
"Alexander ims that Diatoran was only testing their new weapon within their own borders, and it''s not
grounds for them to step in."
Viktor began to panic. "Are they a bunch of idiots? The Diatoran military did that on purpose! We
could''ve won if they never used such illegal weapons! The hurricane missiles killed all 700 thousand of
ourbined troops with Vadesia!"
"I believe the International Alliance is too afraid of Diatoran to make a move and give us any
assistance."
Viktor could only hope that Ted woulde to his rescue. "Your Majesty, please send me some
reinforcements. It''ll be the only way out for us."
They may have lost the war with Diatoran, but it would be fine so long as they could make it out alive.
Ted sounded helpless. "Viktor, we''re thousands of miles away from Diatoran. Reinforcements will never
make it in time. And even if they do make it, they''ll only be killed by the missiles again."
"What''s the meaning of this, Your Majesty? Your men have devoted themselves to fight for you, and
you''re leaving us here to die?"
"I have no other choice. I can''t afford to risk losing hundreds of thousands more men just to save tens
of thousands. I won''t be able to bear the guilt."
Viktor was about to lose all hope. "What about me?"
"Don''t worry. I''ll talk to the King of Diatoran and make sure that you''ll all get out alive."
"I see. Please make haste, Your Majesty."
"I know. You must hold on until then, Viktor. Astronia can''t afford to lose a Champion like you!"
…
Meanwhile, Caspian, Sylvia, and Desmond had arrived outside of the Archer residence with the rest of
their troops.
The entire army hadpletely surrounded the Archer residence.
A hundred thousand Diatoran troops held a major advantage over the meager ten thousand Astronian
troops.
As soon as Viktor hung up the call, he began to hear gunfireing from outside.
An officer ran in to make a report. "General, Caspian''s men have arrived!"
"Stay calm, we must hold on! His Majesty is now attempting for a ceasefire with the King of Diatoran!"
Viktor had no other option but to trust Ted.
He could only trust that Ted would stop the war, or they would all be killed in a matter of minutes.
Viktor realized that he might suffer the same fate as Robert, perhaps even worse.
