"No," Keannu replied, which William did not expect at all.Keannu even repeated himself by emphasizing that one word, "NO."William blinked his eyes, wearing a clueless expression, "Your Majesty, but ... why?"Keannu sighed softly, "It was a big war, Bill. You ... have given so much to this palace and countless times you have risked your life. I don't want you to have to get involved again."Oh, how William was touched by the king's gentleness. But the general still said again, "But I cannot stand by and watch one soldier's life after another being taken, Your Majesty."Keannu was silent. A great dilemma hit his chest again.He knew that if William Mackenzie came back to the battlefield and took the lead, he would have nothing to worry about. Without the slightest doubt, he was sure that victory would definitely be achieved by their side. William had never lost a single war and that was why until that moment no one could break the record of the man who was now more than half a centur
"Yes, General Reece," Cliff replied who knew his general was in a good mood.Andrew Reece himself didn't know what made William Mackenzie want to talk to him.But whatever it was, it didn't mask his happiness that the long-absent general was finally showing himself. In fact, the great general entered the palace through official means. He couldn't wait to greet the person who had contributed so much to his career. In just a few seconds, Cliff's call was answered. Cliff immediately handed Andrew a tablet to use for communication. Andrew was so nervous but couldn't hide his excitement. When he looked at the screen, he actually saw the general's face that he had memorized. William looked aged but Andrew could still see the unchanging lines of his face."General Reece," William greeted with a faint smile.Andrew Reece instantly felt awkward. Being called "General" by someone who had taught him felt strange to his ears."General, I ... oh, please just call me by my name," Andrew said qu
William finally replied, "You ... said that my son is very extraordinary, didn't you?""Y-yes, General," Andrew stammered.William gave a small nod, "Then he will definitely be able to overcome whatever comes his way.""But, General ... this is a big battlefield and he's still an aspiring soldier. What if he encounters a formidable opponent?" Andrew replied which he actually found hard to say.William sighed softly. "Reece, he's my son. MY SON. I know what he's capable of. He must have a thousand ways to survive. He will not die easily ...."That word 'die' was spoken so softly, but Andrew knew that the strongest war general was worried. However, he knew what his position was. As a war advisor, he could not afford to put his own personal interests first. Which in this case was putting his son's safety first.He could of course ask for his son to be rescued first and he was sure that Andrew Reece would definitely carry out the rescue without hesitation.However, he didn't want to do t
Before the two soldiers could answer, Greg Sehel had already approached them and grabbed one of them by the shoulder while saying with an extremely worried look in his eyes, "Tell me, where are they? Why didn't they come back with you two?"Ryan, Ben's good friend and the leader of the group replied fearfully, "We found them, Commander. They're in the back."Ryan pointed towards the back. Meanwhile, Morphy, the senior second class soldier who was with him added timidly, "They're probably walking a bit slower, Commander."Relief instantly washed over Greg. He slowly released his grip on Ryan's shoulder. Greg quickly walked towards the back, waiting impatiently for the soldiers to arrive.Meanwhile Ryan exchanged puzzled glances with Morphy at the commander's reaction which they found very surprising.Could it be because the missing soldier was the king's future son-in-law? That's why Commander Sehel looked so panicked? Ryan thought.Morphy, who saw Greg standing quite far away from th
Riley gritted his teeth at the sight of his friend being injured again and quickly searched for cover.The young man was still putting up a fight while researching a place where they could hide for a while."Over there!" Riley pointed softly in the end.Shin and Ben understood. Shin carried James, while Ben and Riley made sure none of the soldiers knew where they were going.Once they were able to escape from the enemy soldiers and enter a cave near a tree, Shin laid James on the cave wall. He quickly checked the young man's wounds. Ben himself was still watching the outside area and let Riley take care of helping Shin."Is the wound bad enough?" Riley asked with a choked throat. He saw James just closing his eyes, but Riley guessed that James was currently enduring pain. Riley also knew James would definitely not show his expression of pain to him so he would definitely prefer to close his eyes.Shin nodded lethargically, "We have to go to the headquarters soon."Ben turned his hea
Ben thought seriously again and made a careful decision. Ben really didn't want to take the risk of losing track of the young man again. However, right now they really had no better options than Riley gave.He also admitted that Riley Wood's ability was amazing. In fact, he thought that in the future Riley might become a great warrior leader in the future.That had already been proven when he found Riley Wood alive without a single wound on his body. In fact, the young man had faced so many enemies and also made efforts to save James Gardner.In addition, on their journey, Riley had also shown his greatest ability to protect them and also found a hiding place for them.He finally thought that if he prevented Riley from leaving, he would be letting the young man not be able to develop his abilities. The leader glanced at James Gardner whose face had turned pale. Shin also gave his junior a worried look which Ben took as an emergency sign."Senior, please. We must move quickly," Riley
Some people laughed happily. One of the enemy soldiers said, "You're right, why don't we have some fun with this kid first?"Someone so boldly and fearlessly walked up to Riley and chimed in, "So, what do you say, young man? Are you ready to accept your miserable fate?"There was an instant burst of laughter. However, because they were too eager to torment Riley, they lost their guard.As a result, with super-fast movements, Riley turned the tide by firing multiple shots. In fact, the young man also managed to grab two of his enemies' weapons and knock them out."Damn it!" one of them cursed in surprise.In just a few seconds, the snot-nosed youth had messed with them. Already many of the enemy soldiers had fallen with varying injuries.Foolishly, it seemed that almost all of the soldiers were not wearing protective clothing properly so it made it much easier for Riley to defeat them.While doing those quick and agile attacks, Riley counted the number of troops he had managed to take
Riley kept a calm expression and replied, "Why are you asking about one of the war generals of our kingdom?"The enemy soldier suddenly smiled wryly, "Because you bear a lot of resemblance to him, young man. Tell me! Are you his brother? Or are you ... perhaps his son?"Hearing that question, Riley immediately tried to dig into his memory for all the information he had read in the book about the kingdom before he left for the battlefield.As he tried to recall everything, he came up with a name that he managed to remember."You're ... Bradley Martin?" Riley asked with a furrowed forehead, wanting to make sure he had not guessed wrong."A commander who was defeated by General Mackenzie," Riley added.Bradley was dumbfounded. The man was silent for a few moments and then returned to his gruesome smile. "Well, you're right. He did defeat me and because of his cunning strategy, my kingdom had to surrender to Ans De Lou.""Cunning strategy? You've misspelled it. General Mackenzie was just
