Chapter 803 Have They Been Exposed

As soon as Jason finished speaking, another one of Filren’s senior officials retorted, “Are you kidding? Everyone knows that we’ve threatened to declare war on Diatoran. They’re all waiting for it to start!”

After thinking about it, Byron suggested, “We can get a few people to act as assassins for Diatoran. Then, we’ll destroy the countdown and say that Diatoran used dirty tricks to avoid facing us in battle.”

“Well, I think it won’t be a big deal even if we don’t send out our army once the countdown ends,” Kenelm piped up.

“That won’t do! Over a million Diatoranian soldiers have gathered at their

western border. Even if we don’t dispatch our army, the Diatoranians are still a threat to us,” Jason said.

Just then, an intelligence officer rushed in, saying, “Your Majesty! Jerry Andrews would like to talk to you.”

Byron was taken aback. Why did Jerry want to talk to him now? What was he up-

to?

“Your Majesty, this is clearly a sign that Diatoran is panicking. I think you should use this chance to exert more pressure on them and intimidate them!” Jason said with a smile.

He figured the Diatoranians were calling because they were getting antsy.

“Alright! I’ll do as you say,” Byron agreed with a smile, thinking that Jason made an excellent point.

Byron took the call and asked haughtily, “Isn’t it a bit too late for you to beg for mercy now, Mr. Andrews? There are only a few hours left till we declare war on you.”

“It’s not too late, Your Majesty. As long as the war hasn’t begun, it’s not too late, “Jerry said amiably.

Byron felt even more smug.

“What’s there for us to talk about? I’ve already told you what I want–40 trillion and a few cities. You Dlatoranians have wasted too much of my time. My patience has been worn thin.

“I heard you have a million soldiers at your western border. Are you going to declare war against us?” Byron pressed.
