The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 771 Peace

In order to maintain his reputation, Byron had been telling others that he was setting up a trap to catch Caspian.

But who would have thought–that Caspian would withdraw his troops midway and Diatoran even took the initiative to sue for peace?

Seizing this opportunity, Byron propagated it wildly and claimed that Caspian was scared off by his setup. Many citizens of Filren believed his words.

Now that Caspian has been dismissed, the fighting power of Diatoran would plummet.

Since they had the strength to deal with Diatoran, why not demand some benefits from them?

Many Filrenians agreed to go to war with Diatoran. They seemed to have forgotten Caspian’s previous imposing power, or rather, they had all been deceived by Byron’s rhetoric.

Only Byron and some high–ranking officials knew about the truth of this matter. They were not arrogant. Even though Caspian had been dismissed, they knew that defeating Diatoran would be a very difficult task.

Manny was well aware that what Byron said was complete nonsense.

“King Byron is indeed a strategist by using the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to lure Caspian. But in the end, all of your soldiers died while Caspian roamed freely.

“Is this all part of your plan, Your Majesty?” Manny asked with a smile.

Manny was a renowned diplomat, and he had caught Byron’s weakness. Once Byron admitted to what he said, he would be condemned by thousands!

“We are discussing compensation. Why do you bring up irrelevant topics? I’m asking you whether Diatoran is willing to cede territory. If not, I will order the troops to attack now! It will be too late for regrets by then!”

Byron had no intention of wasting time with Manny. He knew negotiations were definitely not Manny’s strong suit, so he chose to be unscrupulous.

“As far as I know, Capsian previously seized the capital of Filren. He withdrew his troops under King Balthazar’s orders, not because he was afraid of your setup. “King Balthazar believed that commanding war brings suffering to people, so he
