The next day, the senior officers of Diatoran gathered in the king’s residence once more.
All four Champions of Diatoran also showed up.
Balthazar asked, “My fellow men, I’m sure you’ve already heard that Filrenian troops are now threatening us right at our borders. Who has a plan to defeat our enemies?”
Dax spoke up. “Filren never learns! Your Majesty, allow me to lead my men to expel the Filrenian troops out of our country!”
Keith explained, “Filren is nothing to worry about, Your Majesty. Lord Caspian had already occupied their capital once. We are confident that we can defeat them again!”
Benjamin chimed in, “That’s right. It’s just Filren. We have nothing to worry about.”
Joseph commented, “We already beat Filren to a pulp back then, and now they’re back for more? We might as well take this opportunity to wipe out Filren once and for all!”
All four Champions had expressed their agreement to fight back against Filren.
Balthazar asked, “All four of you have made great points. Anyone else that would like to express their opinion?”
A senior officer spoke up. “Your Majesty, I wholeheartedly agree with our Champions. I believe we can defeat Filren.”
Another officer commented, “Your Majesty, I believe that this is a good opportunity for us to strike back and destroy Filren once and for all.”
Balthazar then turned to Jerry and asked, “Jerry, what do you think?”
Jerry replied, “Your Majesty, I believe we should not fight back against Filren.”
Everyone was surprised by Jerry’s answer.
