“Commander Massey, could this be a trap set up by Caspian Lynch? He knew of our insufficient manpower at Tenby Passage
but insisted we fight against the enemy’s 200-thousand-strong army.
“This is mission impossible-a David and Goliath battle!” a subordinate lamented.
Logan asserted, “The King is in trouble. I’ll save him even if it costs me my life.”
“But Commander Massey, why would you stay loyal to the King after he exiled you to the border?
“If we face off the enemy now, only death awaits us. Why don’t we surrender and pledge allegiance to Filren?” the subordinate
suggested.
“You jerk! I might be in exile, but I’m still a Diatoranian at heart. I’m no traitor! One more word from you, and I’ll make you suffer!”
Logan bellowed.
The subordinate quivered fearfully and promptly shut up.
At the same time, Logan couldn’t help but wonder if Caspian was truly his son. After a two-decade search, he finally got hold of
some clue not long ago.
Quinton Hans urgently led his men to Tenby Passage, but along the journey, they were pursued by around ten enemy fighter
jets.
Stunned by the situation, his subordinate gasped in panic. “General Hans, they’ve caught up with us. What do we do next?”
“Proceed at the quickest speed to Tenby Passage. The fighter jets won’t attack us since their King is in our hands!” ordered
Quinton.
At that moment, his priority was to keep the morale high.
“Roger that!”
Their sole hope lay in reaching Tenby Passage. Although the fighter jets refrained from attacking Quinton’s men, their presence
exerted constant pressure.
Quinton and his men hastened to Tenby Passage. Upon arrival, the army at the passage had fortified their defenses.

“Commander Massey, let me through. I can explain the situation to Filren, and I’ll make sure you’re granted a dukedom!” Quinton
yelled at Logan.

“Quinton Hans, you treacherous villain! The Massey family has faithfully served the royalty for generations. We will never betray
our country!” Logan retorted from the fort.
“So what? Just look at you now, you pathetic thing. Diatoran is now surrounded by enemies at all sides, and your King is in my
hands. Your country is no more. You should switch your loyalty to Filren for your future,” argued Quinton.
“I’m exiled to guard Tenby Passage because of a mistake I made. You have committed a great sin now by holding the King
hostage. I’ll promise you a dignified death if you’re willing to change your ways!” Logan bellowed.
“Are you joking? Do you think you’re my match with your measly ten thousand men? We have a 200-thousand-man army. Let me
through, and I’ll spare the lives of your men!” snapped Quinton.
He did not take Logan as a threat because he commanded ten times the amount of soldiers than Logan. All he needed to do was
to leave Diatoran’s territory as soon as possible.
He had no time to lose as the enemy’s fighter jets had been tailing him. He worried that Caspian had arrived at West Aridlands.
It’d be best for him to leave Diatoran at the earliest. However, if he were to be caught in a battle with Logan’s men, it’d take him
some time to subdue the ten- thousand-men army.
“Quit the nonsense. I, Logan Massey, would rather die than join you in your treachery. You want to pass through Tenby
Passage? Over my dead body!” Logan had chosen to delay Quinton’s trip.
“Since you refuse to play nice, let’s go, boys! Take the Tenby Passage!” Quinton instructed.
He wasn’t about to waste more time with Logan’s stubbornness.
Quinton’s men started to attack upon receiving the orders. At that moment, 200 thousand men descended on Tenby Passage.
“Listen up! It’s time to protect the nation! We must defend Tenby Passage. Charge, now!” Logan yelled and waved at his men.

The army at Tenby Passage immediately started their counterattack. The area turned into a battlefield with bullets raining all over
the place. Some Tenby Passage guards and Quinton’s men died in the battle.
The resounding explosion at Tenby Passage shook the ground.

When the dawn broke, the King watched Logan fearlessly command the army from the fort.
“Mr. Massey is a loyal man,” the King remarked emotionally.
“Any ordinary man would have surrendered in the face of the enemy, but Commander Massey seems ready to sacrifice. He
joined the battle with the readiness to die,” Lyndon chimed in remorsefully.
“The Massey family served Diatoran well. I believe I have misunderstood them,” the King added with a tinge of guilt.
Meanwhile, Estrya’s navy had launched violent attacks on East Aridlands, as the reinforcements hadn’t arrived. The situation in
East Aridlands did not look favorable to Diatoran.
The entire country had learned about Quinton Hans’ treason and the King’s abduction in the
West Aridlands. Naturally, the East Aridlands Champion, Keith Warren, was aware of the worsening situation as well.
Since the King was in grave trouble, Keith was eager to contribute to the rescue mission. He consulted with Caspian on the
matter, only to be told to stand guard in East Aridlands without worrying about the other frontlines.
He was relieved to learn that Caspian had arrived in West Aridlnds to save the King. All he needed to do was to command the
battle in the east.
At the same time, the Champion of Central Plains, Joseph Welch, heard the news about the coup in West Aridlands. Feeling
shocked and frustrated, he wanted to immediately join the rescue mission.
However, Caspian ordered him to guard Dhord City just in case.
Joseph dared not go against Caspian’s orders. After all, Caspian led the Five War Gods and was appointed the successor by the
King. Of course, he had to obey Caspian’s orders.

In South Aridlands, the intelligence units of Astronia and Vadesia had received news of Caspian heading toward West Aridlands.
Robert Valez and Viktor Obrien were ready to retreat from South Aridlands, but with the new update, they decided to break
through Diatoran’s borders.
The North Aridlands Champion, Benjamin Hart, was worried upon learning

realized he had to command the army alone.
Back at Tenby Passage, Logan launched a counterattack against Quinton’s men by taking advantage of the geography.
However, even if Tenby Passage was a geographically challenging place to tackle, Logan couldn’t handle the enemy’s forces
with just 20 thousand men.
Half of his men at Tenby Passage had been killed. Even though he was struck by a stray bullet, he continued commanding.
Quinton had given Filren a heads-up when he made his way to Tenby Passage. Therefore, Filren’s army was on their way to
provide reinforcements.
The Filrenian authorities were elated upon learning that Quinton had abducted the Diatoranian King, and they were ready to
back him up.
