Howard didn't dare to answer and instead only dared to lower his gaze.

Sean and Mark didn't have the courage to reply either. But, Bill asked once again, "How many troops do we still have?"

Howard swallowed, choosing to answer immediately, "One hundred and one, General."

Bill paused.

"That hundred and one includes Andrew Reece, General," Sean said.

Bill nodded, "Those who survive are those who know about my identity?"

"That's right, General," Howard replied.

Bill nodded, "Good then."

Sean glared in shock, "What makes good, General?"

"Yes, that's very good." Bill showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Howard chose to ask, "What's good, General? We only have a hundred soldiers left. How are we going to fight then?"

Bill sighed wearily, looking at his three men.

"Have you forgotten that numbers aren't everything?" Bill said.

"What's important is skill and strategy. Even a small number of troops can win if they have a good strategy," Bill explained.

    "As to that, I cannot elaborate further, Your Majesty," Bill said. Keannu snorted loudly, realizing that there was no way he could force the great general's hand so he could only say, "Well, then General Mackenzie. It's up to you. If you want to reveal your own identity, no problem." Hearing that answer, Bill immediately said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty." Keannu nodded and let William Mackenzie leave him. Two days later, in accordance with Bill's request, Keannu held a formal party in the courtyard of the palace hall at noon. Everyone began to wonder what was really going on. "I don't know, what's the celebration?" one of the servants asked, preparing for the party. "I don't know. I don't hear anything good happening, but who knows?" "Never mind, we're just servants who have no right to ask questions. Wouldn't it be better if we just got this over with? We don't have much time," a forty-year-old waiter said. A male servant suddenly chimed in, "Could there be a

    But then voices began to be heard there. "General Mackenzie?" "The strongest and best general we ever had?" "But where is he now why don't I see him?" Another person then shook his head, "I don't see anyone wearing the General's armor." "Oh, but if this celebration is meant to welcome the return of General Mackenzie, then that makes sense." "I know, but the problem is that I don't see any sign of him right now," another guard said. Keannu Wellington, who was waiting for the men to stop talking, then impatiently knocked on the table to bring things under control. As everyone in the palace fell silent and waited for what their king might say, Keannu Wellington stood up and started walking towards the center. Monica Wilhelm, who knew everything, was now extremely upset with her husband. It seemed Keannu had deliberately wanted to create drama over the welcome. "Oh, I know you all must be wondering. Where is our great general?" Keannu asked as he began his speech. Andrew Reece

    Keannu Wellington immediately turned his face and looked at his wife with a look that was so disturbed as if his pleasure had just been interrupted by his wife. However, Monica Wilhelm who was already fearless and so fed up with her husband just stared with a smile, "Husband. Please!" Keannu almost cursed at his wife and vented his frustration at being interrupted but he quickly managed to control himself and returned his smile and said, "You're right, my Queen. I need to stop all this immediately." Hearing that sentence, both Jody Gardner and all the officials in the palace instantly returned to their respective positions and silently waited for the king's action. Once again, Keannu Wellington tried hard not to look too disappointed in front of all the residents of the palace. In a voice that sounded like a wise king he said, "General Mackenzie's presence will never interfere with General Gardner, so stop trying to get one of them stopped because I won't do it." That immediately

    "That is obvious. He is a king after all and if his orders are aimed at strengthening our kingdom then there is no reason for us to refuse them," Bill said. Andrew Reece seemed to disagree. He didn't just stand by and let his opinion get stuck in his head. The young man William Mackenzie trusted so much said, "But General. King Keannu seems to have a purpose of his own. This is not only in the interest of the people but also in his personal interest. Is this not a reason to refuse his orders?" William Mackenzie exhaled softly. Currently they were still in the palace courtyard, of course he could not say more because he did not want to disturb the event. However, he couldn't let that happen either so he chose to explain briefly, "King Keannu may have some personal interests but there are certainly other interests related to the people. So, I choose to think about the people's interests rather than thinking about what might be the king's personal goals." Andrew Reece tried to under

    Still with a stern look on his face, Andrew Reece replied again, "No leniency or anything. This is General Mackenzie's decision." In the end, the six men left empty-handed. And since Andrew's conversation with them, the news of the strongest general rejecting new troops who wanted to join his army had become a very hot issue everywhere. Not only among the soldiers but also among the palace officials. In fact, some people had already begun to interpret the reasons why the general did not want to accept any more troops. Unfortunately, they expressed their opinions so wildly that they often seemed to judge the legend's decision. Until one day the king of the land also heard the rumors that had been circulating among the courtiers. "Mackenzie is very foolish indeed. He just regained his identity again but ended up tarnishing his own name because of his arrogance," Keannu said one morning as he ate his breakfast with the queen. Monica Wilhelm, who was enjoying her morning bread, re

    Before Steven could say anything, someone shouted, "Steven!" The war general he respected so much was calling out to him. It was somehow coincidental, but Steven could sense that Jody Gardner knew his men were talking about him. Immediately, the man left the area and moved towards Jody Gardner. "Yes, General." "Follow me!" Jody Gardner said. Steven bowed, "Yes, General." Steven followed Jody right behind him. They walked away from the training area and only stopped when they were a good distance away from the building. Once he was sure no one had heard, Jody turned around and looked at Steven. "What did you just do?" Jody asked. Steven immediately believed that maybe Jody had actually heard what they were talking about earlier. If that was the case, things would definitely get more serious. "Mercy, General. I'm just saying what I don't like. I don't like it when they talk about General Mackenzie's greatness," Steven said. Jody sighed, "You shouldn't have to do that thing.

    Monica Wilhelm's voice did sound so soft to the ears of the three servants but it was clear that her words contained an order that could not be denied by anyone. Surprisingly, the soft voice also had a considerable influence on the three servants. The two maids who witnessed their friend being asked to do the queen's bidding suddenly took pity on her. The third maid immediately began to raise her head slowly and showed a face that was already so frightened. Her eyes were watering and cold sweat was dripping down her face. In fact, Monica Wilhelm could see that the servant's face was as pale as a corpse. Monica took a deep breath looking at the servant and suddenly felt like pity also appeared in her heart. Actually Monica did not want to let go of the maid but apparently the woman was unable to do so. Monica Wilhelm also did not want to waste her time there so she chose to leave immediately after saying, "Never mind, instead of you all thinking nonsense, you better work properl

    Steven never expected that his words would get him into trouble. He thought he had managed to calm the General down but the opposite was true. The young man who didn't want the war general to misunderstand him even more immediately said, "General Gardner, you have misunderstood me. I will never turn my back on you." "If I wanted to turn my back on you, I would have done so long ago. However, I still stand by your side because to me, you are the only one worthy of respect." Jody Gardner, who had looked so emotional at first, immediately calmed down. He looked away and chose not to respond to Steven's words. Steven who could easily understand the war general also breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after that, the king they were waiting for had arrived without his queen. It wasn't strange that Monica Wilhelm wasn't there because she was rarely seen at war-related events. In fact, the palace secretary who had been preoccupied with other matters was also absent.

    James Gardner nodded, "Yes, Your Royal Highness. May I do so?"Xylan Wellington quickly nodded, "Go, General Gardner. You can talk to him."James was grateful that Xylan did not hold him back."Thank you, Your Highness," James said as he quickly left the crown prince along with three first-class soldiers to guard him.Indeed, the three soldiers were certainly no match for him. However, he chose to trust the three of them.Luckily, it turned out that William Mackenzie who looked much older by a few years was also looking for him so their meeting did not encounter any obstacles."General Mackenzie," James greeted the father of his best friend respectfully.William Mackenzie smiled faintly and replied, "General Gardner."James nodded, "You … are you alright, General?"William returned a smile and said in a low tone, "How can I be fine when I have some problems, General Gardner?"James frowned, looking rather confused.Not wanting to riddle and confuse James, William quickly explained wit

    James suddenly gave Gardner a lopsided smile. He knew it was not easy being Xylan Wellington's shield. But, he really did not expect that the crown prince who he thought was so smart was also so innocent.His intelligence seemed to be inversely proportional to his knowledge in terms of understanding the world around him.However, he had already decided to replace Riley in order to make up for the few years of time he had wasted so he should try to be patient.Thus, he calmly replied, "You should start thinking about the matter of all of their opinions, Your Highness.""Why should I?" Xylan retorted, who did not seem to accept James' words.James bit his lower lip, feeling the need to suppress his irritation even more. Come on, James. Don't give up so easily! James thought to himself."Because you are the future king and will soon inherit the throne of this country. So, you should start thinking about what they think of you," James replied.Xylan was about to reply, but James was fas

    The indecision on Xylan Wellington's face was evident. James Gardner, who felt that he had succeeded in making the crown prince realize the big mistake Xylan was about to make, called out, "Your Highness."Xylan flinched slightly when he heard his name being called by James.The young man turned to James, but still did not open his mouth.At that moment, James Gardner was certain that Xylan would change the decision they had just discussed.However, he suddenly saw Xylan smiling at him. That of course made James blink his eyes in confusion.But, within seconds, his confusion was answered. He heard Xylan say, "General Gardner, what you said is true. Everything is right. I ... might get some opposition for choosing Gary Davis as the king's advisor."He nodded. James immediately got a bad feeling that he didn't want to imagine."But, General Gardner. I have found no other good candidate than Gary Davis for that position. And ...."He paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about somethi

    "Yes, that's right. My personal assistant who ... is currently outside the door of my father's residence," Xylan replied, not seeming to find anything strange about his answer.James was still so shocked that he was left speechless, at a loss for what to say in response to Xylan's explanation."Why, General Gardner?" Xylan asked as he looked at James who was not speaking.James moistened his lower lip, still thinking of the right words.However, Xylan couldn't wait for him so he spoke again, "General Gardner, I know what you're thinking."James blinked his eyes, looking stunned.Xylan let out a long breath, "This must be the status of Gary Davis who is my personal assistant, right?"James' eyes widened slightly until he then looked at the crown prince with an astonished look.That's what I mean, why would you even think of making a personal assistant an advisor to the king? Have you ... lost your mind, Your Royal Highness? James thought to himself.Uh, James Gardner actually never jud

    "Tell me, so I can do what I should, Your Royal Highness," James added.Xylan returned the war general's gaze with a look that looked very serious. The young man who had originally made one of the major decisions finally opened his mouth, "It has to do with ... the determination of the new palace officials after I take office as king."James was silent for a moment, looking a little surprised. It was only natural that Xylan Wellington had been thinking about his future reign. However, he didn't think it was the right time.His father hadn't even been buried yet. Why was he already thinking of something else? Isn't he still grieving? James thought.Xylan cleared his throat, causing James to give him a strange look. Not wanting James to think strangely about him or even misunderstand him, Xylan hurriedly explained, "General Gardner, it's not what you're thinking."James did not respond immediately and instead waited for Xylan's further explanation.Xylan himself was smart enough to q

    However, before James Gardner could think further about it, Monica Wilhelm, the queen who had just lost her husband said, "Never mind, there's no need to prolong it anymore."Afterward, Monica turned her body around and faced the palace officials who were still in the palace. She sighed softly before saying, "As I wanted earlier, are you willing to let us mourn the passing of your king before we organize a funeral ceremony for him?"Without hesitation, all the palace officials unanimously replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."One by one, the palace officials left the king's residence area, leaving only the special soldiers protecting the king, queen, princess and crown prince.Meanwhile, some of James Gardner's men also remained in the area as per James' orders."General Gardner, please help," Monica said.James nodded and immediately did his duty as the kingdom's war general to prepare all the necessities used for security.

    "Uh, if you're not ready to give up that important position, shouldn't you be careful when you speak, Prime Minister? Remember, what you're talking about is not appropriate," James said in a sharp tone.Anyone who heard James' threatening voice would surely be afraid. James waited but he was sure that his threat would be effective making that prime minister afraid of him.And unexpectedly, James Gardner's threat succeeded in silencing old Philip. Philip no longer dared to speak and remained silent. However, his resentful gaze could still be seen by James.Of course, you must be very upset with me, Prime Minister. However, you certainly don't want to lose your position just because of that ridiculous accusation, James thought.This made Monica Wilhelm and her two children feel a little calmer."Y-Your Majesty, I... I ...." Philip tried to speak again, but his nervousness was so obvious that James knew the old man would not dare to say anything nonsense again. James immediately respon

    Philip Crawford coughed as he heard James Gardner's words.James raised his right eyebrow, seemingly waiting for Philip's explanation.Philip cleared his throat and replied without daring to look at James, "I am not the one accusing you, General Gardner. It's just that ... the entire population of the Ans De Lou Kingdom is talking about this. Let's just say I'm just relaying what they're thinking."James laughed softly, making Philip instantly turn to him. Likewise, Monica and her two children looked surprised at the war general's reaction."W-what's so funny about what I said that you're laughing, General Gardner?" Philip said in an offended tone.James stopped his laughter and sighed softly before saying, "There's nothing funny. It's just that I find you very cowardly, Prime Minister.""Cowardly? What do you mean, General?" Philip widened his eyes, clearly taking offense."That's right. Of course you're just a coward. You're acting on behalf of the people's opinions, when it was you

    "So, you can give us time to mourn our family members, right? You have not forgotten that Keannu Wellington was not only the king of this country, but he was the head of our family. He is my husband, the father of my two children and a grandfather to my grandson," Monica said in a flat but firm tone.The queen's words apparently succeeded in making the palace officials look at each other and finally fell silent.Some of them seemed to take a few steps back as if they really didn't want to disturb members of the royal family anymore. James Gardner himself smiled to see the palace officials, some of whom were important ministers, not moving in front of the queen. James could not help but be impressed by the queen's ability to make people obey her orders. It was because according to James it was very rare.Before he gave up his post as a deputy general of war, he had met so many queens from various kingdoms around the world. However, not many queens had authority. Monica Wellington wa
