The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 565 Prepared for Battle

“Soldiers, the enemy is almost upon us. Prepare yourselves for battle!” Caspian instructed the moment he learned that Ernest and his troops were about to arrive.

The soldiers from West Aridlands had already gotten ready for the clash and were now waiting to take the enemy head-on.

When Ernest and the Filrenian soldiers saw how few in number the Diatoranian army was, they assumed Caspian had lost many of his soldiers during the fight against Cassius.

Thus, Ernest thought this was his chance to reclaim the base from the Diatoranians’ clutches.

“Charge! Capture Caspian!” Ernest bellowed his order, and the Filrenian rushed forward.

However, as soon as the soldiers reached the border of Diatoran, they stepped on the landmines Macy had buried. Caspian had instructed her to do so precisely as a means of dealing with the Filrenian reinforcements.

Howls of agony filled the air as the mines exploded.

Ernest didn’t expect Caspian to set up any form of defensive measures beforehand.

When Caspian heard the Filrenians’ cries, he swiftly commanded, “Get them!”

The Diatoranian army swiftly fired away, and the soldiers who had been lying in wait rushed forward as well.

Ernest was terror-stricken. He and his army were now surrounded despite having just arrived.

The fact that the Filrenian army was being attacked from three directions left Ernest feeling flustered.

“Launch the counterattack!” Ernest ordered.

However, the Diatoranians had seized the chance to unleash a ferocious assault on the enemy.

“Sir, Caspian was prepared for us. We’re at a disadvantage. Maybe we should retreat!” one of the deputy generals suggested to Ernest.

“We can’t retreat! Caspian and his troops are exhausted right now. This is our best shot. We must capture Caspian today!”
