The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 419 Tens of Thousands of Troops

Caspian shook his head at Charles. “Wonderful! That’s really funny!”

Charles frowned and asked, “What’s so funny?”

Caspian sighed and answered, “I always thought that you were a smart man. I never knew that you’d be so stupid to not even realize that you’re about to die.”

Charles smiled back at him. “Enough nonsense, Caspian! Do you really think I’ll believe you?”

The next moment, Charles suddenly felt immense pain coming from his abdomen.

He looked down to find a dagger pierced through his body.

It was from none other than Gilbert.

“Mr. Shane? Why?” asked the dumbfounded Charles.

He had risked his life to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment for Gilbert, only to be backstabbed in the very next moment.

“Heh. Caspian’s right, you know. You’re really stupid.

“The Eldorian Scroll is a sacred treasure that countless men have dreamed of acquiring. And now that I have it, I can even become king!

“So, do you really think I’ll be handing the scroll fragment back to Shadow Gate? Of course not, and to do that, I’ll have to silence you,” explained Gilbert.

Charles realized that Gilbert had been keeping him around for the same purpose as Fabian, to serve as mere fodder.

He also realized that Fabian was right about Gilbert only keeping them around like pets to serve him.

Now that he no longer had any value to Gilbert, Gilbert no longer had any reason to keep him around.

Even Fabian had wanted to acquire the Eldorian Scroll fragment for his own ambitions.

it was only natural that Gilbert had plans of his own with the scroll fragment.

He would seek to unlock the scroll fragment’s secrets and improve himself to the point of even beyond supreme grandmasters before challenging Elijah for his throne as the leader of Shadow Gate.

Charles never expected to be killed by Gilbert of all people. “You’re such an evil man, Mr. Shane…”

“It’s your own fault for being so stupid,” replied Gilbert as he pulled out the dagger.

Blood gushed out of Charles‘ body like a fountain as he desperately tried to cover up his wounds.

His face was filled with despair and regret for believing in Gilbert.

Everything Charles had done was for naught.

Caspian was right on the mark that he was stupid.

Both Charles and Fabian had been mere tools to Gilbert.
