Chapter 57 Caspian’s Triumphant Return
The police bureau’s report read, “Lilith Ziegler got into a physical
altercation with a citizen. The situation soon escalated into a fight and resulted in the murder of Lilith. T
he citizen also jumped into a lake and drowned.”
Willow could tell that the report was completely fabricated nonsense.
She was sure that the York family was involved in covering up the incident.
She also understood the limits of her own capabilities, as she could not directly confront the almost invi
ncible York family.
Willow wanted to notify Caspian about the matter, but she ultimately chose to honor Lilith’s
instructions and abandoned the thought. She decided that she would tell Caspian once he
returned.
The incident never became widespread news within Southlake City, being the result of the
police bureau’s deliberate censorship.
Nob*dy else but Willow and her family would ever know about Lilith’s death.
Willow retrieved Lilith’s b*dy and brought Lilith to her final resting place within the
Southlake Cemetery.
Lilith’s funeral was as plain as it can get, the only people present to mourn her death were Willow, her f
amily, Miranda, and Zoey.
Both Miranda and Zoey only received news of the incident when Willow told them about it.
They, too, had never expected such a sudden disaster.
Miranda proposed to notify Caspian to acquire his help, knowing that his power and affluence could bri
ng justice to the matter.
Willow, however, remained steadfast in following Lilith’s wishes.
During the funeral procession, Priscilla, along with her parents, also joined the funeral to
mourn for Lilith.
She sobbed uncontrollably in front of Lilith’s tombstone. She was especially heartbroken that
Lilith had died to save her.
Her parents also expressed their gratitude and grieved for the deceased.
Priscilla and her family could do nothing more than pay their respects, as they
could not do anything against the untouchable York family, as well as the Flying Dragons.
A week later, in the South Aridlands, the moonlight shone brightly as the cold wind gently swept the lan
ds.
Caspian stood under the moonlight with an imposing presence.
Behind him, stood hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Before him, were mountains of corpses of the opposing Tigra soldiers.
The piled–up bodies resembled small hills under the moonlight.
Caspian had prepared for this massive battle for a week. His
preparations came to fruition as he and his men had completely annihilated their opposition within five
hours of brutal fighting.
“Tigra’s elites have fallen before us! Lord Caspian’s name will
revel not just in glory of our own, but also instill fear into all of Tigra!” Julian spoke out with reverence fo
r Caspian.
“Lord Caspian is truly an incredible strategist! He has
brought us such an incredible and satisfying victory! May the great name of Lord Caspian be known thr
oughout the world!” Sylvia chimed in as she looked at the piles of corpses.
“We’ve achieved a complete victory with minimal casualties! With our enemies‘ elites annihilated, no on
e would ever dare invade the South Aridlands ever again! All hail Lord Caspian!” Julian continued singi
ng his praises.
“This victory is not achieved by me alone! It is achieved with all of us working together to defeat our en
emies!
Everyone will be rewarded for their efforts in achieving such an outstanding victory! As for our fallen bro
thers and sisters … We will never forget their bravery and sacrifice! Bring them back with us with utmos
t respect, and notify their families of their sacrifice for the greater good!” Caspian finally answered.
“Yes, sir!” heeded Julian and Sylvia.
The next day, news of the great victory at South Aridlands spread throughout the country.

The battle resulted in heavy losses for Tigra. They had to suffer both shame from surrendering, as well
as monetary losses in compensation for the victor.
The king of Diatoran, Balthazar Drake, was overjoyed with the news. He invited Caspian to personally
accept Tigra’s plea for peace.

The next day, Balthazar personally made an appearance in the South Aridlands to reward the
troops.
Caspian, Julian, Sylvia, and various other notable players who contributed to the victory were appropria

Balthazar even presented Caspian with a golden set of armor. It would not function as properly as genu
ine armor, but it represented Caspian’s power and authority approved by the king.
“Your Majesty, now that
the South Aridlands are peaceful once more. I wish to return to Southlake City,” requested Caspian.
Caspian still wanted to return to Southlake City to live a peaceful life.
“Again? Diatoran’s borders will not be safe without the Diatoranian God of War!” answered
Balthazar.
“Our victory against Tigra would cripple them for generations to come, they would not dare to attempt w
ar again,” answered Caspian.
Caspian had already made up his mind, despite Balthazar’s request for him to remain active.
After some negotiations, Balthazar would approve for Caspian to return to Southlake City for a
while.
Balthazar felt that Caspian deserved some rest after he was urgently
called to arms on his wedding night.
Caspian would be classified as inactive personnel. But
he could always make his return to be the Diatoran God of War whenever he wanted.
Balthazar also assigned Sylvia to accompany Caspian back to Southlake City as his b*dyguard.
Caspian had also promised that he would return to serve if war were to break out once more.
As he was about to leave, his fellow soldiers also chimed in, asking for him to remain.
“Lord Caspian, the South Aridlands need you!” said Julian.
“Cut the crap, our enemies have already retreated. Besides, with you around, the South Aridlands will be

“Lord Caspian, I’m just worried that other

Two days later, in Southlake City, an SUV drove into the city, along with two calm–looking individuals.
Unbeknownst to the public, sitting in the car was the Diatoranian God of War himself.
The driver was Sylvia, assigned as his b*dyguard.
“I’m sure Willow and Mrs. Stewart would be delighted to find you back home, Caspian,” said Sylvia.
