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
Steven was about to retaliate against Greg's insolent words, but Greg didn't let that happen because his men had already left before he could reply. "That little bastard!" Steven cursed in exasperation. He certainly didn't want to follow even though several of his men were now looking at him with questioning eyes. He tried to blind his eyes as if he didn't see the expressions that showed disappointment towards him. Indeed, he still cherished his life so he did not want to die silly just for pretending to be a hero in the battlefield. Of course he didn't need any praise or accolades from anyone. All he needed right now was to survive the war and return to the kingdom with nothing less. Unfortunately, he couldn't just stay there because over time some of the soldiers even began to speak to him. "Sir, do you really not want to help General Mackenzie?" the first soldier said. "That's right, sir. General Mackenzie must really need you there. He's obviously short of men." The third
Realizing that Bill was waiting for his answer and that they were now in the middle of a battlefield, Steven wasted no time and quickly said, "I'm ready, General." Bill smiled with relief and then began to command, "Come here!" Steven didn't ask any questions and just followed the orders of the strongest war general. Bill then began to explain some of the things Steven needed to do and led him into battle with him. Bill so deftly worked together with Steven that the man could also feel Bill's extraordinary prowess. Not only were William Mackenzie's attacks extremely accurate but also how the man protected those around him. Bill's mastery of weapons and speed was one of his greatest strengths. In addition, every decision made was always right and never failed to the point that Steven gaped every time Bill managed to make their enemy troops retreat in fear. "Why didn't you kill them, General?" "Because we are officially at war with this kingdom and they have no intention of kill

People were eager to approach Riley, to help him. However, when they saw James Gardner moving toward Riley, they stayed where they were.James quickly caught Riley's staggering body as if he couldn't bear the weight of his own body.James sighed softly, “What are you doing?”“Preventing you from leaving,” Riley replied weakly.James exhaled roughly and picked up Riley who was still so weak.“You don't have to waste your time and energy,” James said.“Why? You don't have to go, James. You-”“It's my decision,” James cut in quickly.Riley shook his head, staring at the young man who was only one year older than him. “You're not guilty. I'm an asshole for wanting to keep you as my best friend.”“It's nice of you to admit that,” James replied with a faint smile.“If anyone should leave here, it's me, not you,” Riley said.James frowned, “Don't be crazy! You're the general of war in this kingdom. You can't-”“I lied to everyone from the start, not just to you,” Riley cut James off.Riley's
Rowena nodded weakly, while the four soldiers who were also inside the infirmary immediately looked at each other. Riley himself took some time to process the information.However, Reiner immediately asked, "Your Highness, then ... where is the deputy general of war right now?"Rowena turned her head quickly, "I don't know. I ... only heard the news from the palace maid, just now. Perhaps ... he has already returned to the dormitory or-"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Reiner cut off Rowena's speech quickly due to being too panicked.After that Reiner immediately paid his respects to the king's daughter and quickly left the area together with Diego.Ben also said, "Riley, I'll be there first. Later I ... will be here again."Alen nodded, "Don't worry! We'll let you know when we know what's going on."Riley could only stare at his friends' departure with a look full of confusion.Rowena was the only one left in the room and was accompanied by several staff, soldiers and servants.Row
At first Riley was eager to force James to answer him, but he stopped doing so when he finally understood that James might need some time alone.He sighed softly, “I'll talk to him later.”Meanwhile, outside Riley's room, all the people who were good friends of the two young people who were having complicated problems were staring at James with questioning eyes.While Alen and Ben were silent because they didn't dare to ask, Diego casually asked, “Did you ... talk to Riley?”James nodded.“Then ... how?” Reiner asked in an anxious tone.James did not answer Reiner's question and only said, “I'm going back to the dorm first.”Shin, who heard that, bit his lip and replied, “I'll accompany you.”James did not refuse and let Shin come with him, while Diego and Reiner remained there.After James and Shin were no longer there, Alen decided to go inside with Ben.Not long after, Diego and Reiner also entered Riley's hospital room area.“He already knew about it,” Ben said when he first looke
James laughed disappointedly when he saw Riley's silence.Riley suddenly stared at him wordlessly.“Why, did you ... did you never even have the intention of telling me about it?” James said in a sharp tone.Riley opened his mouth but not a single word came out of it.James was getting annoyed at him, “Uh, I see. I see now.”James nodded and stepped back, making Riley surprised.“James, it's not like what you're thinking,” Riley finally managed to reply to James.James shook his head.“Do you really know what I'm thinking, Riley?” James said in a sarcastic tone.The young man could no longer hide his immense disappointment, “You don't know, Riley. But ... I can tell what you're thinking.”“James, I ... know I've wronged you. But, please understand, my position is very difficult. I don't want you to ... hate me, James. I don't have-”“It must have been a lot of fun for you, huh?” James cut off Riley's words quickly.Riley who was originally leaning back immediately leaned her body, fac
Shin and Reiner glanced at each other, as if they were both confused about whether or not to leave the area as James had requested.However, the reason they hesitated was certainly not because they were both worried that James would hurt Riley. Instead, both of them were more worried about James.Unfortunately, James, who did not get an answer from his two friends, turned his head with a furrowed brow, “Why? Don't you two trust me?”“You guys ... think I would do anything ... to hurt Riley? Is it like that?” James added with a sad look on his face.Shin quickly turned to James, “Of course not. I am sure you wouldn't do anything that bad.”“Don't get me wrong, James! We're ... just very worried about you,” Reiner said quietly.James was startled and when he looked at his two friends in turn, he instantly knew that they were not lying at all.The young man closed his eyes and instantly realized his mistake, “I'm sorry, senior. I ... I ....”“No problem, we'll leave you so you can be alo
Ben suddenly bowed his head.James immediately closed his eyes, completely unable to believe the painful reality that had slapped him.Meanwhile, Shin looked at his friend with a look of disappointment.He touched Ben's shoulder and asked, “You knew about this big secret and you ... did nothing? What have you done?”Ben was silent.Shin took a deep breath and watched the expressions of all the soldiers who were his best friends. The man sighed softly, “Aren't we ... all friends? How could you ... and you hide this important thing?”Ben raised his head, “Then, what do you expect me to do?”“What did you say?” Shin retorted fiercely.“You think it's easy? Hiding a secret of this magnitude? You think ... what happens if I tell you and the others? Especially James. He ... would definitely fight with Riley. They'll-”“Damn it!” James cursed because he couldn't stand it anymore.The young man said, “Don't act like you know about me and can guess what I might do or happen. You think you can
Meanwhile, William also began to be confused to calm his wife who was crying more and more.However, Cassandra's crying finally stopped when she saw the operating room door open.Everyone also immediately stared at the door, waiting anxiously.As several people from the medical team came out, William and Cassandra walked over.“Doctor, how is my son?” William asked.The elderly doctor looked up at the middle-aged man who was staring at him anxiously.“General Mackenzie,” the doctor greeted after he noticed William's face.William nodded, “Yes, Doctor Sigmund. It's me.”Sigmund was surprised, “Riley Wood, I mean General Wood is ... your son, General?”“Yes, Doctor,” William replied.James just stared blankly ahead, as if he was ready to hear that statement. Meanwhile, Reiner and the other soldiers could only squeal in shock as an important fact had j
It didn't take long for James Gardner to understand everything. In fact, afterward he saw Alen Smith greeting the woman and middle-aged man who were obviously a married couple. “Alen, Alen. You're … a medical staff, aren't you?” Cassandra asked the young man she had already met.“Riley will be fine. Isn't he?” Cassandra said frantically.Alen nodded, “You don't need to worry, Mrs. Mackenzie. We will do our best to save Riley.”James was still silent where he stood. Alen's words had explained everything. Alen, one of his best friends, also knew everything that happened. James closed his eyes for a few seconds and chose to hold himself still.The young man took hold of the edge of Riley's bed and helped him to push again. He then said softly, “Alen, hurry up a bit!”Alen was immediately surprised and looked guiltily at James as if he already knew what James was feeling. However, he did not have time to say anything and quickly went about his duties while asking people not to come
