The Almighty Lord Caspian

After a round of heated discussions, everyone still couldn’t come to an agreement on the matter of enemy warships being stationed around the Southern territorial waters.

Astronia and Vadesia were both relatively powerful countries with advanced military technology.

Some of the officers wanted a peaceful resolution as they didn’t want a war to happen. But most of the officers, including the God of Wars, had voiced their agreement on fighting until the very end.

Suddenly, a soldier ran into the hall with a stack of documents in his hand. “Your Majesty, I have the latest intelligence to report!”

“You may speak,” Balthazar ordered.

“Astronia and Vadesia have made a public announcement that they’ll be holding a joint military exercise in two days. The location will be right outside Diatoran’s southern territorial waters. They’ve also mentioned the use of heavy weaponry during the drill.”

The expressions of fellow officers in the hall instantly sank.

“I see. You may leave now.” Balthazar waved his hand.

The informant lowered his head as he retreated from the hall.

“What’s the deal with Astronia and Vadesia? What do you guys think?” Balthazar asked with a confused expression.

One of the higher–ranking officers stood up and explained, “Your Majesty, Astronia and Vadesia may be claiming to be doing a joint military exercise right outside of our borders, but I believe they’re just trying to show off their weaponry and assert dominance.

“I believe we don’t have to worry about a war.‘

Benjamin countered, “This isn’t to be taken lightly, Your Majesty. Considering their distance. from our shores, they can easily launch a pre–emptive strike from their warships and cause immense damage to our cities. We need to set up defenses!”

“What should we do if they truly attack us?” Balthazar asked.

“We will not attack unless we’re attacked. But if they do… We’ll have to show them the full force that Diatoran has to offer!” Dax declared.

Another officer stood up to voice his opinion, “We absolutely shouldn’t provoke them, Your Majesty! Starting a war with both Astronia and Vadesia would incur too many losses to be worthwhile. The greatest loser would be the citizens of Diatoran itself!”

“Are we really going to tolerate having our enemies stepping on our heads? We Diatorans aren’t cowards! If they ever cross our borders, we’ll have to show them who’s boss!” Benjamin shouted.
