Chapter 732 Something Feels Off


    At the king''s residence, Kelvin said urgently, "Dad, Caspian''s return to Diatoran with his million elite


    soldiers is detrimental to us!"


    "What''s wrong?" Jerry asked.


    "We were nning to depose Caspian, but he has so many troops under hismand now! What do


    we do if he decides to start a rebellion?" Kelvin''s voice tremored with concern.


    "That''s right! Only around 100 thousand of the million elite soldiers are Caspian''s subordinates.


    Besides, there aren''t any guards at the king''s residence.


    "Plus, Caspian is the famous Diatoranian God of War. We''re no match for him at all if things escte


    into a confrontation!" Zane joined in.


    Only then did Jerry realize the gravity of things, and he nodded. "You guys are right. We can''t let


    Caspian bring his army into Dhord City."


    "Yeah, especially not the armored soldiers and Phoenix Vanguard! Caspian trained them himself! If he


    rebels, they''ll undoubtedly take his side!" Zane stated.


    "Even if Caspian doesn''t rebel, he might act brashly if we try to depose him. It''ll be dangerous if that


    happens," Kelvin also voiced his innermost thoughts.


    "I understand. I''ll have Balthazar call Caspian right away."


    Jerry went to Balthazar immediately after saying that. He wanted thetter to give an official order to


    Caspian.


    Having spoken with Jerry, Balthazar soon made another call to Caspian.


    Caspian dared not ignore Balthazar''s call when he saw it. He answered immediately and asked, "Your


    Majesty, how can I be of service?"


    "Things at the border aren''t too stable now, Lord Caspian. Station the million elite troops and armored


    soldiers at West Arinds. As for you,e to Dhord City without any troops. Just travel light," said


    Balthazar.


    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Caspian answered. He never intended to bring his armored soldiers back to Dhord


    City in the first ce. After all, it was inconvenient to travel around with his subordinates.


    Besides, the troops from West Arinds naturally had to stand guard there. Caspian saw no reason to


    take them to Dhord City.


    Sylvia approached Caspian after thetter ended the call. "Lord Caspian, has the king given you any


    new orders?"


    "He''s asked me to go to Dhord City without any troops. The armored soldiers must remain at West


    Arinds in case of a sneak attack from enemy troops," Caspian replied.


    "Lord Caspian, something feels off about His Majesty this time. Won''t it be risky if you go to Dhord City


    alone?" Sylvia questioned.


    "There''s nothing to fear. I can only ept my fate if the king wants to dispose of me. The oue will


    be the same, regardless of whether I bring the troops there." Caspian was unwaveringly confident.


    Sylvia nodded. "You''re right, Lord Caspian. Let''s hope I''m merely overthinking things."


    "I can''t help feeling like something''s wrong, Lord Caspian. Why don''t you bring a few subordinates with


    you? I fear something might actually happen," Macy murmured.


    "Don''t worry, you guys. I know His Majesty well. We may have shing opinions, but he won''t do


    anything to me," Caspian assured them. He knew Balthazar wouldn''t punish him because he had


    contributed significantly to Diatoran.


    "The king may not do anything to you. Still, I''m worried someone with ill intent might lie to His Majesty


    and convince him to punish you," Macy insisted.


    "But His Majesty has already given official orders that I shouldn''t bring any troops back to Dhord City


    with me. If I do otherwise, someone will surely say I''m rebelling." Caspian shrugged helplessly.


    Still, Macy persisted. "Lord Caspian, please let me and Phoenix Vanguard escort you to Dhord City. At


    the very least, we can ensure your safety."


    "Alright, the king only said to station the armored soldiers at West Arinds. I wouldn''t be disobeying


    his orders if I brought Phoenix Vanguard with me." Caspian caved in.


    "Thank you, Lord Caspian." Macy was over the moon. She didn''t think Caspian would agree to her


    request without a fight.


    "There''s no need for such formalities. You''re Diatoran''s hero now for sessfullypleting the


    assassination task. His Majesty will unquestionably reward you for it," said a smiling Caspian.


    "I was only doing what I had to. It doesn''t matter whether I get rewarded. I only hope the king will


    forgive your defiance."


    Macy had just said that when she recalled something and asked, "Oh, right. How''s Laina? Is she safe


    now?"


    "Laina has gone into hiding. She can return to Diatoran after some time," Caspian answered.


    "Laina and I executed the assassination. Yet, she was able to escape unharmed while I became the


    enemy''s prisoner and even needed you to rescue me in person. It seems there''s still a difference


    between our skills."


    "Don''t say that. You''re both heroes. Laina has always carried out assassinations, so she''s more


    ustomed to such situations.


    "As for you, this was considered your first time. The fact that youpleted the task is good enough. I


    think you''re incredible," Caspian reassured her.


    Macy''s heart fluttered when she heard that. She couldn''t believe Caspian would praise her.


    That was when Sylvia stepped forward. "Allow me to also return to Dhord City with you, Lord Caspian."


    After a brief and shocked pause, Caspian replied, "Why would you return with me? The armored


    battalion needs someone to oversee them. You should remain in West Arinds."


    "I worry things might escte in Dhord City. The situation feels too unusual," Sylvia exined.


    Caspian nodded since he had also gotten used to having Sylvia by his side. "Okay, then. The king


    didn''t say that I had to return alone.


    "Since you''ve also served your country well this time, you should join me in returning. There''s no telling


    if His Majesty might reward both of you."


    "I''ve never considered getting a reward. I''m more concerned with finding out why His Majesty is


    behaving so weirdly," Sylvia dered.


    "Let''s discuss that after we return to Dhord City. For now, let''s have the million elite and armored


    soldiers guard this ce," Caspian ordered.


    "Understood!" Sylvia and the others replied.


    After making the arrangements, Sylvia and Macy led two thousand members of Phoenix Vanguard to


    escort Caspian back to Dhord City.


    …


    The civilians of Dhord City lined up to wee Macy once they learned she was returning. She was


    now a hero in their hearts since she had assassinated Camden. They felt such a feat was worth


    celebrating.


    They also weed Caspian, the Diatoranian God of War, and Sylvia, a general officer.


    Caspian, Sylvia, Macy, and the Phoenix Vanguard members walked down the streets of Dhord City.


    While they did so, many civilians came out to greet them.


    It was the first time such a scene and atmosphere urred in Diatoran.


    Even celebrities couldn''tpare to the group. Caspian and the others were soldiers with unyielding


    strength and will. They were the real celebrities.


    In their current campaign, Caspian was invincible and seized Filren''s capital. He might not have


    defeated Filren, but the battle demonstrated Diatoran''s immense vigor.


    Caspian was the chiefmander and the biggest contributor in that battle.


    Sylvia and the others had also contributed. As for Macy, there was no need to say more. Everyone


    knew she had assassinated Camden. Thus, they admired her from the bottom of their hearts.


    All of Diatoran now saw Macy as a superstar.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Macy was slightly exhrated. It was her first time receiving such overwhelming support. Before today,


    she never would''ve dreamed such a scene would ensue.
