hapter 390 Armored Soldiers
The Eldorian Scroll fragment couldn’t fall into the hands of people with ill intentions.
“Caspian, almost every organization has sent their men toward the Stewart family estate to look for the scroll fragment… Should we mobilize the armored soldiers?” asked Sylvia.
The armored battalion was a team of soldiers personally trained by Caspian himself for special occasions. They were all men of high quality who were much more powerful than the special force members.
The Eldorian Scroll fragment was something that couldn’t afford to fall into the hands of evil.
Mobilizing the armored battalion now would ensure that it would be protected.
Caspian shook his head and replied, “There’s no need for that. The appearance of one of the Eldorian Scroll fragments is actually good news. We can publicly announce the existence of the Eldorian Scroll to everyone within Diatoran.
“I’d like to see how many more criminals crawl out of the woodwork. And as they try to go after the scroll, we’ll capture all of them in one fell swoop,”
Caspian’s eyes flashed with confidence as he spoke.
Even Sylvia was surprised by how calm and collected Caspian was.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Southlake City, Horace respectfully voiced his opinion to Nixon, “Are we going to look for Caspian yet, Mr. Xenos? Now’s a good opportunity to kill him!
“There’s no need for that. Caspian isn’t our target. Our objective now is to secure the Eldorian Scroll fragment now that everyone knows about its existence. Besides, we no longer have to pretend that we’re going after Caspian,” answered Nixon.
They had claimed to be going after Caspian while they were really going after the Eldorian Scroll fragment. But now that the scroll’s existence was widespread news, they no longer had to hide their true intentions.
“Horace, I’m allocating you one thousand of our elites to go after Caspian. And I’ll be bringing the rest with me to the Stewart family estate.
“Now that both Azure Flames and Skyfeather Pavilion are done for, I’m sure Caspian will quietly surrender. If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!” ordered Nixon.
Nixon’s words were filled with murderous intent.
He was extremely irritated since the secret of the Eldorian Scroll fragment had been revealed.
to the world.

Prestigious families from Dhord City had sent out their own elites.
Even some of the most secluded hermits were out in action just for a chance to acquire the scroll fragment.
Nixon felt unprecedented pressure over the situation.
Even though the TMAA was strong, they were certainly not invincible.
The TMAA didn’t dare to directly offend some of the most powerful families in Dhord City.
Nixon realized that he had to secure the Eldorian Scroll fragment as soon as possible.
He deemed that dealing with Caspian was a waste of time.
He decided to send Horace on his way with a thousand men to deal with Caspian.
Nixon had completely underestimated Caspian.
Horace, however, was extremely nervous as he knew about Caspian’s true strength.
He couldn’t even take more than a single hit from Caspian.
With such terrifying strength, Caspian belonged in the same ranks as the chairman himself.
Horace felt uneasy when Nixon ordered him to go after Caspian again. “Mr. Xenos…”
Nixon was unamused. “What is it? Are you thinking of chickening out? Don’t forget that you’re on a mission to regain your honor! Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you dare to disobey me!”
Horace could only nod in agreement. “I won’t let you down, Mr. Xenos!”
“You’re not allowed to fail this time, Horace. Or I’ll personally finish you off!”
Horace was frightened. He could only hope that Azure Flames and Skyfeather Pavilion’s defeat had already shocked Caspian to the core.
He would then swoop in to capture the surrendered Caspian. Anything else and it would be too much trouble for him to deal with.
Meanwhile, at Stewart Residence, a shadow suddenly appeared within Marilyn’s room.
Marilyn was taking a rest when the shadow startled her.
“Fabian, is that you? You almost scared me to death.”
Fabian had been acting like a ghost ever since he joined Shadow Gate.
Marilyn felt that her heart would soon be unable to take on his antics.
It wasn’t wise for a woman her age to be constantly frightened by shadows.

“The Eldorian Scroll fragment appeared within the Stewart family estate,” whispered Fabian.
“Eldorian Scroll? What’s that? Some book?” asked Maritm
The light in Fabian’s eyes dimmed as he seemed disappened in Marilyn
He realized he couldn’t rely on Marilyn alone for informaton
“Grandma, do we have anything to do with the Stewart Gamit estate? Do you imow who Xandros is?” asked Fabian.
“Of course, I do. Xandros is my son’s great–uncle, and he’s my senior Why do you ask?” replied Marilyn.
“Could you write a letter to Xandros and ask him for any information regarding the Eldorian Scroll fragment?”
Xandros was well respected within the Stewart family estate.
His appearance would also facilitate Shadow Gate’s search for the Eldocian Scroll fragment.
Marilyn agreed without any hesitation. “Oh, sure. I’m sure he’d help his cellaves with a book.”
Meanwhile, back at Zott Manor, a conversation was taking place.
“This is bad. A large number of traditional martial arts experts have entered the Swam family estate,” said Lincoln.
“Caspian! Hermits from Dhord City have also appeared!” reported Sylvia.
The situation was worse than they had imagined.
News about the Eldorian Scroll fragment had caused an uproar within the country
“Sylvia, how is the progress on your given task?” asked Caspian.
“I’ve finished the preparations, Caspian! I’ve mobilized a regiment from the South Aridlands and placed them all around the Stewart family estate for an ambush.
“Those who go in will definitely not be coming out alive! Besides, I’ve also gathered hundreds of armored soldiers to protect you,” replied Sylvia.
Traditional martial arts experts couldn’t possibly stand a chance against the military with firearms.
As for the armored soldiers, their only responsibility was Caspian’s safety.
After all, the Diatoranian God of War was one of the most important people in Diatoran.
Lincoln was flabbergasted as he listened to Sylvia’s report.
+15 BONUS
He couldn’t believe that an entire regiment of soldiers was mobilized for the current situation.
He reckoned that even the most powerful fighters would have to surrender when faced with thousands of armed soldiers along with tanks.
Caspian nodded his head with satisfaction. “Very well. It’s time to show them who’s boss.”
“Anything I can help, Mr. Lynch?” asked Lincoln.
“I’m leaving Southlake City to your hands once we leave for the Stewart family estate. I’ll hold you responsible if anything happens here,” replied Caspian..
Lincoln nodded his head. “Yes, sir!”
He had also wanted to go to the Stewart family estate.
But then again, he wouldn’t possibly disobey Caspian’s orders. Suddenly, a loud boom rang out from outside the house.
It was immediately followed by a barrage of other noises.
Caspian frowned as he realized that something had gone wrong again.
Lincoln angrily shouted, “Bastards! Who dares to cause trouble here?”
Trouble kept knocking on the door of Zott Manor, and they were never given a moment’s peace.
