Chapter 584 Three Gods of War
"General, we may be elites as well, but Caspian's armored soldiers have undergone special training.
It's only natural that we can't defeat them," one of the officers explained.
"You're all useless! You've all brought shame upon Vadesia! You've all brought shame onto my name!
The armored battalion is Caspian's private army, and you guys are mine! You've all also followed me to
battle every time. Why did you lose so badly?" Robert was furious.
"There's another reason for the defeat. We—"
"Shut your mouth! Don't try and come up with excuses for your failure! Our enemy troops were
exhausted after traveling long distances, and you still lost! In the end, you're still weaker than them!"
"I've failed you, General. I'll humbly accept any punishment you see fit." The officer kneeled down in
front of Robert.
"Forget it. But there had better not be a second time. Make preparations for the next battle!"
Robert didn't want to punish his own men at a time when he needed them the most.
"Yes, sir!" The officer let out a sigh of relief as he left.
…
Laina and the rest of Task Force Rose blended into the Vadesian troops and began to scout for
information around the Hudson residence.
Meanwhile, Alicia, who had been unconscious for a few hours, finally woke up.
Henry, on the other hand, was still knocked out on the ground.
"Henry! Are you okay?" Alica shouted as soon as she noticed the still unconscious Henry.
She shouted a few more times, but Henry never responded.
"Don't scare me like this, Henry. Wake up!" Alicia shouted as she vigorously shook Henry's body.
Henry slowly opened his eyes.
"Are we dead? Where are we?" Henry asked in a daze.
He vaguely remembered being severely beaten up by Vadesian troops and thought that he had already
passed away.
"What are you talking about? We're still alive! And we're still inside the Hudson residence. Are you
alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. My body still hurts. I thought I got beaten to death by the Vadesians just now," Henry
replied as he sat up on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Alicia asked.
"It's just a little injury. I'm fine."
"Just what were you thinking? Why would you defect to the Vadesians? Are you stupid?" Alicia became
furious.
"I just wanted to make sure our family is safe. I believed Richard's words because I wanted the best
outcome for our family!"
"You're stupid! Do you think the Vadesians would be so kind-hearted? They're here to invade Diatoran.
The first thing they'll do is kill you! Just look at that Robert guy's face!"
Alicia continued, "Even if the Vadesians truly wanted to help us, our family doesn't need their help! We
Stewarts have been living in Diatoran for generations. We absolutely can't do something that will betray
our country!
"Our family's reputation will be in shambles if other people learn about this!"
"I was wrong. I finally realized after what happened today. Our lives never mattered to the Vadesians.
I've changed my mind. I won't defect to Vadesia anymore."
"It's a good thing you only had the idea of doing so and hadn't yet done anything unforgivable. It's not
too late to come back."
"I understand now, Alicia. As long as we can get out of here alive, I promise to turn over a new leaf. But
now that Robert has locked us up, getting out of here seems…" Henry became depressed.
Vadesian troops were stationed everywhere. Escaping would be nigh impossible.
"Don't worry, Caspian will be coming to save us. We just need to wait for him patiently."
"We've always caused trouble for Caspian. Do you think he'll really come to our rescue?" Henry felt
that Caspian wouldn't actually come and rescue the two of them.
"Relax, Caspian will definitely come for us."
"Why are you so sure, Alicia?"
"Robert uploaded the videos of our torture onto the internet and declared war with Caspian. That's why
I believe Caspian will definitely come to save us."
"I still don't get it. Robert declaring war with Caspian has nothing to do with us, though?" Henry was
confused.
"Of course, it has something to do with us. We're Willow's siblings, so we're technically part of
Caspian's family. If we were to be killed by the Vadesians, Caspian would suffer a lot of damage to his
reputation as the Diatoranian God of War."
"I understand now! Caspian has to save us in order to defend his name! He'll be slandered as a coward
if he leaves us in the enemy's hands!"
"We just have to wait for him patiently."
"I'm still worried that Caspian might not be able to get us out of here. Robert must've already placed
ambushes around us since he's the one who declared war. I don't think Caspian will actually risk his
own safety to tread enemy grounds just to save us."
"You're right. But waiting for him to save us is all we can do now." Alicia became a little uncertain after
listening to Henry.
She recalled all the misdeeds she had done ever since Caspian had married Willow.
She had even tried to intoxicate Willow and offer her up to another man.
Alicia was uncertain if Caspian would even come to save Henry and herself.
…
Viktor, the General of Astronia, was looking for a place to rest after arriving in Southlake City. He had
chosen to stay in the Archer residence.
The Archer family was surprised as they never expected the war hero of Astronia to stay with them.
They welcomed Viktor's arrival with open arms.
The Archer family even hosted a banquet to entertain Viktor.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
They were jealous when they learned that Robert was staying with the Hudsons.
To their surprise, Astronia's general paid a visit the very next day. The Archer family believed that this
was an opportunity for them to become the most powerful family in Southlake City.
Viktor decided to stay in the Archer residence after having his fill of wine and food.
He wasn't in a rush to go to the battlefield and instead stayed in his guest room to command the
battlefield.
While Astronian and Vadesian troops had already invaded Southlake City, the bulk of their army
remained on the sea.
The task of their advance troops was to map out the terrain of Southlake City as soon as possible
before launching the attack to take over the city.
Now that Caspian had also entered the fray, it wouldn't be easy to take down Southlake City as they
had expected.
Caspian remained at Riverside Villa as he commanded his troops.
As of right now, three different Gods of War had gathered in Southlake City.
The city had instantly become the center of attention for the entire world.
