The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

“I see. Let’s not talk about it for now. Tell your people to stop advancing. The enemy

must’ve been blown

The heavy bombardment had obliterated both mountainsides, and the enemy would have

already been

decimated.

“Understood!”

John quickly gave the order. “Cease fire! Send people to canvas the area. Capture anyone

who’s still alive!

We won’t show them any mercy!”

Upon receiving the order, John’s subordinates sent out people to search the mountains.

“Where’s the army doctor? Come over and tend to Lord Caspian’s injury!” John yelled after

seeing how

serious Caspian’s arm injury was.

The army doctor ran over to Caspian. After a preliminary check, he said, “Lord Caspian,

the bullet is

embedded too deeply. Thankfully, it didn’t hit your bone. I’ll administer anesthetic and

take the bullet out

first.”

“No need. I’m in a rush. Just take the bullet out as soon as possible and bandage my arm,”

Caspian

instructed.

“The bullet is too deep inside your arm. If I don’t administer anesthetic, you’ll faint from

the pain!” the

army doctor exclaimed in shock.

“It’s fine. In the old days, people even chopped their limbs off without using anesthetic. If

they can do it,

so can I. Don’t waste any more time. Hurry up and do it.” Caspian was getting impatient.

The sun had risen. He needed to go and pick Willow up.

If he used anesthetic now, half his b*dy would be numb. He did not like that sensation.

“Lord Caspian, under these circumstances, are you still going to hold your wedding as

planned?” John

was taken aback.

“I have to be a man of my word. I promise my wife I will give her a grand wedding today

no matter what, so I tend to do just that,” Caspian firmly declared.

“But, based on the intelligence we received, there would be two possible ambushes. One

would be during your journey back to Southlake City, while the other would be at your

wedding venue.

“Now that their first attempt has failed, they might attack during the wedding. We don’t

know what their plan is. Diatoran needs you. We can’t risk you being in any danger!” John

emphasized.

“Why would I, Lord Caspian, be afraid of an assassination attempt? If I cancel the wedding

now, it would not only be an embarrassment for me but for Diatoran as well! How will the

soldiers risking their lives on

“Even though this is only a wedding ceremony, it affects far more than just my marriage.

We must proceed as planned!” Caspian was adamant.

“Well …” John paused for a while before saying, “You’re right, Lord Caspian. Still, my

superiors have instructed me to protect you at all costs, so I have a request. We need to

make some changes to the

wedding ceremony.

“Otherwise, if something happens to you, I’d be losing my head as well.”

“What do you have in mind?” Caspian asked.

“We must send troops to surround the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel and ensure nothing goes

wrong,” John.

said.

“Isn’t that a bit too conspicuous?” Caspian was hesitant.

“Since the enemy has infiltrated Southlake City, we need to be conspicuous. Let them

know the first

assassination attempt has failed. That way, they won’t dare to act recklessly.”

John continued, “You’re Lord Caspian. You’re my superior. However, it is my responsibility

to protect you.

Even if you disagree, I have the power to override you.”

“Fine. You can make the arrangements as you see fit,” Caspian said helplessly.

Though he did not want to make such a big fuss, he had no choice now.

“Thank you for being so understanding, Lord Caspian. Also, the enemy might’ve infiltrated

the hotel as

well. That would make the situation even more dangerous.

“I suggest sending two female special forces soldiers to disguise as Lady Willow’s

bridesmaids and

protect her,” John said.

“Alright. You’re very thorough. I feel assured knowing that our safety is in your hands,”

Caspian praised.

John had covered all the bases.

“You’re too kind, Lord Caspian. How many more groomsmen do you need, Lord Caspian? I

would like to

arrange a few people-”

“Sure. You decide,” Caspian said with a nod before John finished his sentence.

“Why don’t you return to the southern base with me first?” John suggested.

“Why?” Caspian asked in confusion. “There’s not enough time. We have to rush over to

Southlake City at

once.”

“It’s your wedding day today, but look at you. You’re covered in dust and dirt. You can’t

show up at your wedding looking like that. You need to clean up a bit,” John reminded.

Caspian once again realized how thorough John was. “Alright, then, but be quick. We’re

pressed for time.

My wife might get impatient.”

“Rest assured, Lord Caspian. If Lady Willow is upset, I’ll take full responsibility for the

delay,” John

declared.

Then, he added, “Don’t worry, Lord Caspian. Once everything is ready, I’ll arrange for a

helicopter to take

you to Lady Willow. If Lady Willow is furious, I’ll bear the brunt of it.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s stop with the chatter and get going.” Caspian found that John was quite

the chatterbox.

“Yes, Lord Caspian.” John immediately made the arrangements.

He chose over a dozen formidable-looking female special forces soldiers to disguise

themselves as

bridesmaids.

He also selected 20 handsome male special forces soldiers to act as Caspian’s

groomsmen.

“If you see my wife, tell her I’ll be a bit late, but I’ll definitely fulfill my promise!” Caspian

said to the female

special forces soldiers.
