The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 704 Preparations Before the Beheading Operation

"Why the sudden decision to assassinate the King of Filren, Lord Caspian?" Macy asked.

"Cut off the head of the snake and the body will die. Only by doing so can we minimize our losses,"

Caspian replied. "You're the most suitable person for this mission."

"We have plenty of skilled individuals in Diatoran. Am I the only one who can carry out such an

important task?" Macy said with a hint of pride.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. There are people more capable than you, of course—like Laina. She's the

best at assassination," Caspian said.

"Then why don't you send Laina? Why me?" Macy didn't like hearing that Laina was more capable than

her.

"Because she has a more difficult mission," Caspian replied.

"What? She has a mission too?" Macy asked.

"Yes, her mission is to assassinate the King of Estrya," Caspian said.

"Lord Caspian, are you planning to carry out two operations simultaneously?" Macy asked in surprise.

"Yes, this operation is highly confidential. We won't launch a military campaign but execute a

beheading operation." Caspian nodded.

"But Estrya is just a small country. Isn't Filren more difficult to deal with?" Macy said, displeased.

"Although Estrya is small, there's a vast ocean between Diatoran and Estrya. It'll be difficult to return

after a successful assassination. You're going to assassinate the King of Filren. Even if something goes

wrong, I can immediately send troops to rescue you," Caspian explained.

"Both of these missions are not simple." Macy sighed.

"I hope you'll be cautious and complete this mission well. Remember, this mission is top secret. Don't

disclose it to anyone," Caspian said.

"Do you think I'm still a child, Lord Caspian? Of course, I'll keep it a secret." Macy nodded.

"The beheading operation needs careful planning. Let's return to Southlake City first. We'll call Laina

over and discuss the plan," Caspian ordered.

"Roger."

Macy and some armored soldiers escorted Caspian to the airport to return to Southlake City.

…

Upon arriving in Southlake City, Caspian went straight to the South Aridlands War Zone and

summoned Laina.

When Laina saw only Caspian and Macy In the command center, she knew that Caspian must have

something extremely confidential to discuss with her.

"Lord Caspian, why did you call me over in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Laina asked.

"I need you to carry out a very important mission," Caspian replied solemnly.

"What is it, Lord Caspian? Whatever the mission, I'll give it my all," Laina said.

"I want you to go to Estrya and assassinate their king," Caspian stated without beating about the bush.

"What? That's so sudden!" Laina was shocked. She couldn't believe that Caspian would assign such a

dangerous mission to her.

"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Caspian asked.

"No, it's just too sudden. I haven't heard you mention it before," Laina said.

"This plan was just finalized after my meeting with His Majesty. It was unanimously decided that we

won't launch a military campaign but instead execute a beheading operation.

"After thinking it over, I believe only you and Macy are most suitable for this operation. You'll go to

Estrya, and she'll go to Filren," Caspian explained the contents of the beheading operation.

"I see. I can give it a try," Laina said.

"This mission is extremely dangerous, and you may lose your life. You have the right to choose. If you

don't want to go, I'll find someone else," Caspian looked at Laina and said.

He certainly wouldn't force Laina. Such missions were extremely perilous. It was natural for people to

cherish their lives and be afraid.

"Are you mocking me, Lord Caspian? When have I ever been afraid? As long as you give the order, I'll

be the first to charge out," Macy said firmly.

Caspian said, "Good. Both of you are the best, indeed. If you complete this mission, you'll be heroes of

Diatoran. I called you here today to discuss the detailed plan with you. Do you have any opinions?"

"First of all, entering these two countries will be a challenge. We must not arouse suspicion," Laina

said.

"Yes, you must infiltrate these two countries stealthily. I'd like to hear your suggestions," Caspian

agreed.

"Lord Caspian, we can disguise ourselves and enter these two countries as long as we have proper

identification," Laina suggested.

"I can take care of the identification. As for disguises, you'll have to figure it out yourselves," Caspian

said.

"I need to develop a detailed action plan, as well as a plan for withdrawal after a successful

assassination.

"Also, I need to find out the lifestyles of the enemy's higher-ups to facilitate our approach." Laina had

executed many assassination missions and was very familiar with this process.

"Alright, I'll give you a day. Once everything is ready, I'll summon you again," Caspian said.

"Okay." Laina and Macy nodded.

"Lord Caspian, what about Skyarch Palace?" Laina asked.

"Skyarch Palace is just a big name. In reality, they're just a bunch of unruly people. Right now, the most

important thing is to carry out the beheading operation. Once the operation is completed, we can deal

with Skyarch Palace," Caspian said.

He didn't take Skyarch Palace seriously at all.

After that, Laina left the command center while Caspian returned with Macy to Riverside Villa.

Willow, Sherry, and Cecilia smiled when they saw Caspian return. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

…

After returning to her residence, Laina immediately contacted her undercover operatives in Estrya and

Filren. She wanted to gather information about the lifestyle habits of the enemy's higher-ups.

She worked overtime to formulate a detailed plan.

…

In the evening, Jerry called his two sons over again.

"Dad, all the Five War Gods have left Dhord City. Only the King is left. Now is the best time for us to

act," Zane suggested.

"Although the Five War Gods have left, we still cannot mobilize our troops," Jerry said.

"Why not? I think this is the perfect timing," Zane asked in confusion.

"I'm worried about Caspian. Even though he's not in Dhord City, if he hears that the King is in danger,

he'll definitely rush over at once. There was a rebellion in Dhord City before, and it was Caspian who

resolved it. He's too strong. We need to be cautious," Jerry explained seriously.

"In that case, why don't we send the innate grandmasters of Skyarch Palace to assassinate Caspian?"

Kelvin suggested.

"Caspian is protected by armored soldiers, and he's a powerful figure all on his own. It won't be easy to

assassinate him." Jerry frowned.
