Chapter 545 Rescuing the King
Screams akin to a pig being slaughtered echoed through the air.
Those who had attempted to shoot Caspian fell to the ground, riddled with bullets.
Macy seized the moment and led the armored battalion in a swift takedown of
these assailants.
Macy and the armored battalion were rigorously trained sharpshooters.
They had closely watched Quinton’s men. They knew a moment’s delay could jeopardize Caspian.
Despite the proximity to the rebels, Macy and her team were confident in their marksmanship, ensuring
Caspian remained unharmed.
Their primary goal was to save Balthazar, but they had to make sure Caspian remained unscathed.
Caspian withdrew his bloody Diatanium dagger.
Quinton’s blood gushed wildly.
The dagger was already stained with blood. It now bore a sinister crimson hue.
Quinton’s body fell straight to the ground.
The sudden turn of events left everyone in shock. No one had anticipated Caspian would storm the
enemy lines alone and claim their lives so directly.
With Quinton slain, the rebels holding Balthazar were thrown into disarray.
Macy had already led the vanguard out.
They employed their most lethal tactics to wipe out the rebels.
Finally, Balthazar was saved!
“Your Majesty, I apologize for the delay in your rescue. Please, punish me as you see fit!”
Caspian, Macy, and the armored battalion all knelt in submission.
“Rise, all of you. You have endured much. Rest assured, your efforts will be
rewarded,” Balthazar announced.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” they responded in unison, standing up.
Macy instructed the armored battalion to free Lyndon.

Seeing their leader Quinton dead, his men realized resistance was futile and knelt in surrender.
“Please, Your Majesty, punish us!”
Nearly 200 thousand rebels cried out.
Balthazar and Caspian did not immediately address the rebels. Instead, they let them kneel longer.
Lyndon was now safe.
Balthazar approached Quinton’s bloodied corpse.
“Decapitate Quinton and display his head on the walls of Tenby Passage. It was his actions that led our
soldiers to fratricide,” Balthazar commanded.
“Understood!” Lyndon nodded.
Without hesitation, he severed Quinton’s head.
He then handed Quinton’s head to the armored battalion.
Seeing that Quinton was dead, Logan opened the city gates.
Logan and the garrison troops knelt before the Balthazar. “The Tenby Passage garrison is at your
service, Your Majesty!”
“Stand, all of you. The garrison of Tenby Passage has done well,” Balthazar praised.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Logan and the troops behind him chorused.
“Your majesty, how shall we deal with Quinton’s allies?” Caspian inquired.
“Show them no mercy,” Balthazar declared with a sweep.
Hearing Balthazar’s decree, Quinton’s confidants trembled with fear.
“Your Majesty, please spare us!”
“We had no choice, Your Majesty!”
“We never wished to betray you. Quinton would have killed us for disobedience. Please, give us a
chance to serve faithfully henceforth!”
Quinton’s allies pleaded desperately.
“You traitors. You followed Quinton in betrayal and caused countless innocent soldiers to shed their
blood in vain, and the entire garrison was wiped out because of you!

“If I spare you, where would my authority stand? Execute them here and now!” Balthazar said coldly.
Balthazar had no intention of sparing Quinton’s closest allies.
These leaders would not have betrayed their country if they were loyal.
Such individuals were useless, embodying the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing
those you distrust.
Upon Balthazar’s command, the vanguard escorted Quinton’s allies away, making them kneel before
the vast army of 200 thousand.
“Spare us, Your Majesty!”
“Please have mercy on us, Your Majesty!”
“We had no choice, Your Majesty!”
They begged for mercy even in the face of death.
The cold sound of gunfire put an end to their pleas, leaving them lifeless on the ground.
The sight filled the hearts of the 200 thousand rebels with unease.
This was precisely the outcome Balthazar wished for. It was to awaken the conscience of the rebels.
With Quinton and his allies dead, the leaderless rebels could no longer resist.
Caspian easily resolved the crisis.
“Your Majesty, what shall we do with Quinton’s men?” Caspian asked again.
“Spare them,” Balthazar responded.
“Your Majesty! These men have killed many of our troops alongside Quinton and even dared to hold
you hostage. They cannot be so easily forgiven!” Logan
urgently argued.
“I’ve already promised them mercy. I cannot go back on my word,” Balthazar stated.
“Your Majesty, what if they rebel again? Your guards died at their hands. Did those guards die in vain?”
Lyndon also argued.
“They were under duress, with no choice but to follow Quinton’s orders,” Balthazar explained.
The rebels felt both moved and ashamed hearing Balthazar speak on their behalf

“Your Majesty, you did promise these men, but they haven’t chosen to stand with you. They have
shown no intention of abandoning their malicious ways! Such individuals cannot be spared. We must
trust those we use and not use those we distrust,” Logan passionately advised.
“Although they did not take a stand, they also did not follow Quinton’s orders to shoot at the
Diatoranian God of War.
“Had they fired upon the Diatoranian God of War, the situation could have been dangerous.
“Their actions have already made their choice clear. To execute these 200 thousand would be utterly
inhumane.”
Quinton’s men were merely following orders despite their actions.
Pushing them too far could lead to a bloody conflict with over a hundred thousand of them.
The rebels were already feeling ashamed by Balthazar’s words.
One of them said, “Your Majesty! The crimes we have committed are unforgivable. It would be better if
you killed us!”
“Yes, we have betrayed Diatoran and are deeply ashamed!”
“We deserve to die. Please, Your Majesty, punish us.”
“Your Majesty, look at them. They are aware of the gravity of their crimes.
Execute them to honor the fallen soldiers!” Logan added.
The garrison of Tenby Passage had suffered heavily due to these traitors. Logan wished for nothing
more than to avenge them.
“Commander Massey is right. They can’t be forgiven. Our guards died at their hands,” Lyndon stated
firmly. He clenched his teeth.
His entire guard had perished because of Quinton’s men. Lyndon yearned for vengeance against the
rebels.
