Chapter 539 Urgent Situation
Chapter 539 Urgent Situation
"In my opinion, you only need to deploy one corps. Your forces can join Ferb to be on standby at the
airport for Lord Caspian!" Benjamin suggested.
Dax was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, Benjamin's idea matched Stephen's.
"I'm a bit worried. One corps might not withstand Quinton's army. He has a massive force of 200
thousand soldiers!" Dax urgently stated.
"But you cannot abandon the West Aridlands border. Once you lose too many forces, you won't be able
to withstand Filren's invasion," Benjamin said.
Dax also knew that Benjamin's reasoning made sense. But what if the plan failed? Wouldn't he be a
criminal?
"It's indeed challenging, but I can hold on for a while. However, for now, we must secure the airport.
Only then Lord Caspian can land safely, and Quinton won't be able to leave Diatoran," Dax said.
"How about deploying two corps? This way, it won't affect the situation in the West Aridlands and will ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
ensure enough forces to defend the airport." Benjamin offered a suggestion.
"Alright! I'll give the order immediately!" Dax said before he hung up the phone.
He immediately dispatched two corps to head to West Aridlands Airport and assist Ferb.
…
West Aridlands Airport.
After Ferb had seized control of the airport and set up the defense, Jake charged toward them with his
forces.
As soon as they faced each other, a fierce battle erupted.
Fortunately, Ferb was well-prepared, and Jake was no match for him.
Since both were general officers, their forces were also similar in size.
However, despite Jake's prolonged attack, there was no progress. This news quickly reached Quinton's
ears.
"Idiot! Jake is useless! After attacking for so long, he can't even win!" Quinton angrily exclaimed.
"General Hans, the West Aridlands Airport is a crucial location. What should we do now that we can't
leave Diatoran?" a deputy asked nervously.
"Don't panic. Ferb is just a general officer. He only has 100 thousand soldiers. Send someone to kill
him, and all is well!" Quinton said calmly.
"The Five War Gods and the soldiers know about our betrayal. They should know that the King is
captured, too.
"Reinforcements are coming at us from all directions. With our limited forces, we can't spare anyone to
kill Ferb!" an adjutant explained.
"I'll personally lead my troops to eliminate Ferb! As long as we take control of the airport, we can leave
immediately!"
After saying this, Quinton didn't hesitate at all. He immediately assembled his troops and charged
toward the airport.
…
At this moment, the two corps dispatched by Dax had arrived at Dimfell Passage.
To enter the West Aridlands War Zone, they had to pass through here.
However, Quinton had left one squad of his troops here.
The two corps under Dax launched a direct attack.
However, the terrain at the Dimfell Passage was treacherous, making it hard for them to gain victory.
Back at West Aridlands Airport, Ferb had defeated Jake's forces. But just as he thought he could catch
a breath, Quinton arrived with a large force.
Ferb's soldiers had no time to rest. Immediately after the intense battle, they now had to face Quinton.
The situation had become tricky for them.
Quinton was a senior general. Hence, his soldiers were elite with advanced weapons.
Ferb had already suffered some losses. Hence, confronting Quinton now was practically impossible.
"General Zonia, the rebels have too many people. We're no match for them!" A deputy general
hurriedly approached.
"We must protect this place at all costs! Otherwise, the King will be taken away. Before Lord Caspian
arrives, we must defend this place to the death!" Ferb gave a strict order.
The only way Quinton was going to leave here was over their dead bodies.
The soldiers were fired up after hearing Ferb's words.
They knew that Caspian was about to arrive in West Aridlands and that backups were also on the way.
Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War, one of the Five War Gods, and also a myth in the soldiers'
hearts!
In their view, as long as Caspian appeared, there was no battle they couldn't win.
The soldiers now had hope and began to fight courageously.
Morale was important to a military unit, after all.
Although Quinton's forces were numerous, Ferb had set up defenses near the airport, coupled with air
support.
This caught Quinto's forces off guard.
However, his forces weren't to be underestimated. They used a lot of missiles and shot down several
fighter jets.
Seeing the intense situation, Balthazar felt a pang of pain.
"These young people are all citizens of Diatoran. They're the soldiers of Diatoran. But because of
Quinton, we have to fight each other!"
"Your Highness, these traitors can hardly be called soldiers of Diatoran. They're not worthy enough!"
Lyndon said with resentment.
"You don't understand. These soldiers are innocent.
"They merely follow their superior's orders. They didn't dare to disobey Quinton's instructions.
Otherwise, they would be killed.
"It's all Quinton's fault. He's the one responsible for this!" Balthazar gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness, your kindness is boundless. They've betrayed you, and you still care about their well-
being," Lyndon remarked.
"The mastermind is Quinton. It's a pity for these soldiers. They originally wanted to be loyal to their
country and defend against enemies.
"But due to Quinton, they are now fighting against their own comrades. I would personally kill Quinton if
I could," Balthazar said.
"Lord Caspian is already on the way. As long as we can hold this place, we can definitely reverse the
situation once Lord Caspian arrives!" Lyndon excitedly exclaimed.
"I hope so. If Ferb manages to hold on here, I will surely promote him!" Balthazar stated.
West Aridlands Airport was filled with the sounds of gunfire, and many people were killed in the
bombings.
Ferb was fighting desperately, but his forces were limited. Quinton's troops weren't to be
underestimated. Hence, The situation had become very unfavorable for him.
…
At Dimfell Passage.
The rebels who were originally stationed at Dimfell Passage were in shambles under the powerful
attack of the two corps.
They were well aware of the consequences of treason.
Initially, they had no intention of betraying the country, but they had no choice once Quinton gave his
order.
As Dimfell Passage was surrounded, the leader had to call an emergency meeting and decided to
yield, allowing the two corps to pass.
…
Quinton's forces initiated a fierce new round of attacks.
Just as Ferb's forces were about to get defeated, a large number of troops appeared out of nowhere
and charged toward the battle.
