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.

    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. Inside the palace

    Keannu Wellington didn't understand that there was someone who could be that calm when his life and death were being played by him. Perhaps it was only the person in front of him who had an extraordinary calmness that could not be disturbed by anyone, including himself. However, if William Mackenzie was so easily provoked by him then it would not be exciting. It was that kind of attitude that currently excited him to bully the war general. Not wanting to delay, Keannu immediately said, "General Mackenzie, what do you think?" Hearing the king's question, everyone in the hall of the grand palace instantly stopped messing around. Suddenly, another voice was heard. Now, they were all waiting for William Mackenzie's answer to his king's question. In fact, Jody Gardner, who was originally still emotionally ignited and loved to babble, also seemed to close his mouth while throwing a questioning look at Willliam Mackenzie. Bill got up from his chair and immediately knelt in front of his

    "Because it's the king's order. Could they dare to refuse or resist?" Bill said calmly. Jody almost seemed to sink to the bottom of the ocean after hearing that answer. That answer not only left everyone speechless but also made the troops understand their position. In essence, William Mackenzie just wanted to show that he didn't want this to happen either but since it was their king's order, there was no chance for him to argue. Even though he wanted to refuse so badly and still lead the troops that he had trained for a long time and also knew very well which meant that he also knew how his character was when leading them, Bill would not whine to ask for the original troops. "You're really amazing. So very wise and good at handling things," Keannu praised who actually didn't like Bill's choice of words. Jody Gardner snorted at the praise but was unable to do anything about it. In the end he could only obey his king's orders without being able to thwart him even if it was just t

    Absolutely nothing was moving there. Jody Gardner smiled with satisfaction and now began to strategize. "Get into the plane!" the general ordered. All of the non-Jody Gardner's subordinates began to board Fighter A. On the other hand, William Mackenzie had just discovered that his troops had been reduced by more than 200 men without any notice. "780, General," Steven said. Bill was naturally disappointed but the man could easily hide his emotions. At least he hadn't lost half his troops. However, what he really disliked was that his troops were retreating not because they didn't believe in his ability to lead but because you didn't fasten them to his previous decision not to accept more troops. "What should we do now, General?" Steven asked. "Separate them. Divide them into groups according to their skills. Marksmanship, archery, bombing and others," Bill said.This was quite new to Steven because usually Jody Gardner never separated them like that. But Steven didn't have ti

    Hearing Greg's sadistic words, Knox could not help but immediately shut his mouth tightly because he really did not want to be thrown out by his friend. In fact, Greg's words were not a question but an action that he might take if Knox did not stop talking. He and Greg had known each other for a long time. He could even be said to have always been in the same group. So, Knox knew very well that what Greg said was not a bluff but rather an order for him to immediately shut his mouth. After Knox was completely silent, Greg spoke, "General Mackenzie is the most powerful general this kingdom has ever seen. There's no way he's going to make us lose our lives." "I really wonder why there are still fools who don't realize the great power that the legend has?" Greg quipped. Knox certainly felt insinuated but he did not respond and remained silent. Greg continued, "The important thing is that if we follow General Mackenzie's orders then I'm very confident that we can win any war." His p

    "Swear at you, what for, without me swearing at you you'd be dead too," Greg replied nonchalantly without seeming burdened at all. The sniper was about to engage Greg in a fight but he warned himself that they were currently on the battlefield so he had to restrain himself. "After this war is over, I swear I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget in your life," the sniper whose name Greg didn't know, said. Greg replied sarcastically, "That's fine. But only if you're still alive." "You-" The swear words that the sniper was eager to utter did not come out of his mouth after seeing Steven glaring angrily at him. He certainly didn't want to make the deputy general angry at him and throw him out of line. He still wanted to live and win the war and show off to that asshole Greg. Meanwhile, now at the very front of the line, Bill had ordered the troops with the highest level of accuracy to be in the front, center and rear lines. Steven was a little surprised by the way William Mac

    The 23-year-old loosened the collar of his shirt and then sat down comfortably. His face was bright with a smile. In fact, one of the other passengers sitting in the same compartment with him felt that the young man carrying a backpack with the emblem of the Ans De Lou Kingdom was a very cheerful young man."Excuse me, where are you getting off?" Gary asked to make small talk with his compartment mate.The man who looked about the same age as him replied, "Vues Hill."Gary nodded, "Oh, you mean getting off before me.""Where do you get off?" the man asked back. "Uh, I'll get off at the last station, Wenderstein," Gary replied.The man frowned, "Wenderstein? You're from an area ... that once belonged to the Sealand Kingdom apparently."Gary smiled kindly and nodded, "You seem to know my area."The man immediately nodded, "Of course. I've been there a few times."Gary was reluctant to respond, but the young man sitting in front of him still seemed interested in the topic and asked aga

    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I ... will stop talking and listen to you," Gary Davis said, who after saying that immediately closed his mouth tightly. The young man also bowed his head as if afraid that he would anger the viceroy.Xylan sighed softly at the compliance of his personal assistant and then responded, "Gary, I ... have broken my promise. I can't make you occupy an important position in this palace."He observed Gary's facial expression which was unfortunately invisible to him as his head was bowed rather deeply.But, looking at Gary who didn't move an inch Xylan was sure Gary was listening to everything he said carefully."But ... that doesn't mean I can't do it forever," Xylan continued.Xylan's words managed to make Gary move his head slightly but still remained in a downcast position.Xylan smiled faintly and added, "Yes, Gary. You didn't hear wrong. I only delayed your appointment. This means that my decision has not changed."Slowly Gary raised his head until Xyl

    "General Gardner, you've always been able to read what's inside my brain," Xylan replied quietly.The corners of James' lips lifted slightly to form a faint smile."Say it, Your Majesty! I am at your disposal," James said casually.Xylan nodded his head, "It's about you.""About me?" James repeated with a surprised expression.The young man had not expected the king's answer to be about him. He thought Xylan meant his concern for the government. In a confused tone he asked, "Does anything I do bother you, Your Majesty?" Xylan shook his head emphatically, "No. You've helped me more than anything. You've actually helped me more than I expected."That certainly made James even more clueless, "So what do you think of me?""It's about our agreement before I was appointed," Xylan replied.James' broad forehead wrinkled, but he quickly realized what Xylan was referring to.As he had expected, Xylan was actually saying, "So, when are you going to start looking for my brother-in-law again?"

    A female staffer from another ministry immediately laughed at Celine Klein's words. That young woman was Lucy Berry.But Celine, the twenty-five-year-old young woman only looked at her with one eyebrow raised. She didn't seem bothered at all, just curious.Some people also ended up laughing along with the woman who also looked Celine's age.Not getting the response she wanted, Lucy said sarcastically, "Why would King Xylan choose a woman from the commoners? Are ... you interested in being his wife?"Celine was about to answer, but Lucy laughed at her again and said, "Don't get your hopes up! Even if King Xylan chooses a woman who is not a member of the royal family, he is still unlikely to look at an ordinary staff like you."The look in her eyes at Celine was clearly very dismissive, yet Celine still looked calm and relaxed.Instead, the young woman boldly said, "Oh my! I didn't say that. I was just wondering. Oh, I see. Perhaps you're the one who dreamed of becoming King Xylan's wif

    The words of Royal Prime Minister Ans De Lou, who had done a lot for the country, instantly made most of the ministers in the palace become dumbfounded.Many of them were afraid to breathe. In fact, there were also those who dared not just move their eyeballs. It was because they thought Philip Crawford was too bold that they thought that this time the young king who had just been inaugurated would surely lose his temper and become furious.Reiner Anderson, one of the country's war commanders, almost felt that it was the end of the debate between the two men of different generations."Prime Minister Crawford is definitely finished this time. King Xylan won't let him," Reiner said with a tone of voice that sounded full of horror.Josh Cleve winked and said, "You're right, Rei. That accusation is a bit outrageous in my opinion. If that's the case, the viceroy will definitely kick old Crawford out."Benedict Arkitson, who had just joined them, responded, "What's going on between them? W

    Philip Crawford replied, "Your Majesty, you have made a big mistake."Everyone held their breath at Philip's bold answer.In fact, Ashton Rowles looked so shocked that he forgot to close his wide-open mouth."Oh my! Has the Prime Minister lost his mind?" a minister standing not far from Ashton, muttered.A friend of his who was also a minister replied, "He has indeed gone mad.""I think he dares to contradict the king because he is not willing to lose his position," another minister said.A forestry ministry staff nodded, "You're all right, Ministers. It looks like Prime Minister Crawford can't accept the king's decision.""That's obvious. It's just that ... if I were the Prime Minister, I would do the same thing," another ministry staffer said.The Minister of Social Affairs responded, "Why?"The person shrugged, "The problem is ... he was replaced by someone who has criteria far below his. Just imagine! Gary Davis was just a personal assistant. He's nothing more than an ordinary man

    "No, I told you he couldn't do it, Prime Minister," Ashton Rowles said quietly.However, from the tone of his voice, Philip sensed that Ashton was not sure of what he was saying.That made Philip cluck his tongue, while Ashton himself was also actually beginning to be unsure and astonished.However, he would not reveal his doubts to Philip because he did not want his senior to feel upset."Never mind, if he really intends to fire me, I'll accept it. Maybe it's time for me to retire from the palace," Philip said in a gloomy tone.Ashton suddenly felt sorry but he knew he could do nothing but wait for the king's decision."The position of Prime Minister of Ans De Lou Kingdom will still be held by Philip Crawford who has contributed so much to this kingdom," Xylan said.Philip gaped in disbelief.While Ashton immediately laughed with relief and said, "I'm right, Prime Minister? He didn't fire you.""Congratulations, Prime Minister. You're still in your position," another minister said.T

    Apparently Ashton did not take offense even though Philip said to him in a sarcastic tone.Instead, Ashton smiled soothingly, "I wouldn't laugh at my senior, Prime Minister."Ashton was indeed fifteen years younger than Philip. Apart from being much younger than Philip, Ashton also had less experience than Philip.Ashton Rowles only set foot in the palace about twelve years ago, when he was 30 years old. He was appointed Minister of Education 4 years ago when he was only 38 years old.He was indeed one of the youngest ministers ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom, but when compared to Philip Crawford who had served in the palace for more than twenty years, he certainly did not compare."So, why?" Philip asked, still with a resentful tone.Ashton replied, "King Xylan values others. I ... firmly believe that he will retain you, Prime Minister."Philip was stunned, "How can you be so sure, Ashton?"Ashton suddenly became happy, as well as relieved. For him, Philip Crawford calling his name wa

    "Please, Your Majesty," James said softly to the viceroy.Xylan Wellington nodded with relief.With the courage he had always possessed, Xylan began to give his first speech as king of Ans De Lou Kingdom.The young man was smooth and even charismatic. He delivered his entire speech very smoothly. Not once did he falter. So many people immediately admired him. Not only were the officials and staff of the palace impressed by Xylan's speech, but most of the residents of the palace also seemed to like Xylan."He's still very young, but I'm sure he'll make a good king, just like his father and grandfather," one of the female servants said in the grand palace.A friend standing next to her responded, "He not only has a very handsome face, but is also very authoritative. I ... can't believe that the little prince is now officially our king.""The youngest and handsomest king in our kingdom," another servant agreed.The other servants nodded along, agreeing with the words of their friends.
