The leader of the opposing army immediately felt a little strange. He thought the person in front of him would be easily attacked mentally but in fact Jody Gardner still looked so calm and his attacks were still quite accurate. The fact that it was so clearly displayed strengthened his suspicion that the people of the Ans De Lou kingdom could not be underestimated. The war leader of the opposing army took a few steps back until one of his men asked him, "Chief, what exactly is going on?" "Why is he not bothered at all? Isn't it according to the source of the information we just obtained that the person leading this war has a very bad temper?" "That's right, sir. However, what we're seeing right now is decidedly different. He seems so calm despite our provocations," another continued. The leader whose name was Geraldi Jones also did not understand the answer to the question that was bothering him so much. "Never mind, the most important thing now is to make him admit defeat or at
Steven no longer argued and immediately brought their troops back to the Ans De Lou Kingdom. On the way, he did not speak a word and remained silent. Meanwhile, some of his troops could be seen talking at the back when they saw the face of the greatest war general was extremely unsightly. They only dared to whisper because they did not want to offend the God of Death. "Is General Mackenzie mad at us?" someone asked his companion. "No way. Why would he be angry with us? There's no reason for him to be angry with us." "You're right. We even obey him all the time and although some of us disobey at first, we eventually obey him again." Another person also responded, "We've been doing whatever he tells us to do." "I don't think he's angry at us but ...." The words of one of the troops who was relatively young were suddenly not continued because Steven glanced at him so he had to be silent first. Of course, he didn't want to aggravate the problem and make things complicated just be
Greg who was listening to Knox's explanation really wanted to laugh at the man. He wanted to make Knox's eyes widen even more after actually knowing the greatness of the war general. Unfortunately, they were currently still in the airplane so Greg had to try hard to restrain himself. However, someone not far from Knox's seat said, "That's why you should never doubt someone who you don't even know what he looks like. Because it could be that one day you might really admire him." Knox was stunned. "Everything I did was very natural, especially since he had also temporarily stopped being a soldier. Who would have thought that his strength would remain as it was and arguably even increase more than before?" Knox looked around and saw the reactions of the other troops but it seemed like they weren't really taking him seriously so he couldn't help but swallow his words back. Truly, he never thought that his hesitation would lead him to fall into such an embarrassing hole. However, at
Keannu Wellington could no longer contain his annoyance at the war general who used to be one of his father's favorite soldiers. But he was so relieved that the man met him in the middle of the night that he didn't have to endure the embarrassment in front of the palace officials. If I had met him in the daytime then he would definitely not have been able to raise his face in front of the palace officials again. It was not just once or twice that William Mackenzie had humiliated him. It was also what made her want to destroy him. Although he also understood that if he were to lose the great general then he would lose greatly. If there was no one as strong as William Mackenzie to protect his country, it was not impossible that his beloved kingdom would be completely attacked by the enemy kingdoms he had conquered. "Your Majesty, your orders are awaited," Bill said, snapping the king out of his brief reverie. Keannu waved his hand and immediately called his personal secretary, "In
Steven did not reply but instead laughed even more and this made Greg even more annoyed with the deputy general. However, since he could not force Steven to explain further, he could only wait with resignation. "You fool! Who intends to punish you?" Steven said after his laughter died down. He never thought his men would act so stupidly. Greg wasn't angry at all when he was cursed at like that, in fact he was even more curious about Steven's previous words. However, now Steven actually couldn't blame his men either because the actions taken by William Mackenzie were always unexpected. In fact, he was also overwhelmed by shock and confusion that almost left him speechless. "Sir, but you were-" "Gosh, I think the selection of palace soldiers should be more stringent. Not only through physical tests but also brain tests," an unusually lazy Steven said. Maybe after this he would try to propose that the army's admissions to hold more tests. Greg swallowed nervously, "Sir." "Liste
William Mackenzie hurriedly replied, "Cassie, this is nothing. You don't need to think about this." "What do you mean you don't have to? Do you think I can't help you?" Cassandra retorted. Bill closed his eyes and now began to feel that he might soon have a fight with his wife. "You know it's not. Cassie, I just don't want to add to your burden. That's it, I'm good to go and as soon as it's over I'll be on my way home," Bill said. Cassandra who was on the other end was silent for a while. The beautiful woman was not offended at all and instead felt sorry for her husband who had to think of everything himself. It wasn't that she didn't want to really help her husband but she felt that Bill was really thinking about her so she chose not to make an issue of it. "Well, if that's what you want." Cassandra then talked about a few things before she finally decided on the call. Bill felt quite comforted after hearing his wife's soothing voice. At least even though he was currently wo
Of course, Jody Gardner's words immediately angered William Mackenzie. The man who had been holding back for a long time finally exploded uncontrollably. Unable to contain himself anymore, William Mackenzie said, "If this is what you want, fine. I won't hold back anymore." Jody Gardner was stunned to see a look in William Mackenzie's eyes that he had never seen before. It was a look of intense killing desire that no one could escape. Because as far as he knew, there had never been a single person who could escape death when William Mackenzie had decided to take his life. It was impossible to survive the god of death, almost as impossible as an ant slaying an elephant. The man couldn't help but face it. But before Jody Gardner could defend himself, with a swift movement William Mackenzie, the strongest god of war, grabbed Jody Gardner by the neck and dragged him mercilessly with one hand. He carried him away from the area to give him more freedom to beat him up. Keannu Welling
Jody Gardner replied with a mocking smile, "Do you think you can win against me?" William Mackenzie never expected that Jody Gardner, who used to be his obedient subordinate, had now turned into someone very different. It all happened because of power. As if he could read what the general was thinking, Jody said, "General Mackenzie, I am not your old subordinate who knows nothing." He stared fearlessly and continued, "I now have the same title as you. We are equals. You must also know how I earned that title." William Mackenzie sighed, getting tired of dealing with his betrayed subordinate. "By killing me you mean?" William Mackenzie shook his head, trying to restrain himself from getting out of control. Not wanting to linger and waste time, Jody Gardner attacked without warning. He intended to punch the major general in the chest. But by then William Mackenzie was at the ready and of course in just one action, the strongest general managed to hit his opponent back until Jody
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
