"Your ambition is too big to find the general's son," Alen Smith said.

James grinned, "You would have done what I would have done if born without a father."

Alen suddenly fell silent, while Riley gripped his glass of water.

"Hey, it's appeared," Diego said, intending to cool the atmosphere.

All the eyes of the prospective soldiers were immediately glued to the very large screen.

"I don't care about my ranking, the important thing is to get the minimum score."

"Is there really a minimum standard for assessment?" someone else said.

"You idiot! Didn't you read all the rules before registering?"

They started having fun throwing around words until finally they started to fall silent when their names started appearing.

Riley saw that James was looking seriously at the screen, while he only glanced at their names.

"Wow! You rank first in swordsmanship, Riley," Diego said.

Alen clapped his hands, happy, "Amazing! Why didn't you tell us that your sword skills are good."

Riley smiled

    "I would love to say 'yes', but you know that 'Wood' is not a rare surname, it is too common a surname, Reece," Keannu said. Andrew's face, which originally looked bright, suddenly turned a bit gloomy again. Keannu immediately felt guilty. "I don't mean to destroy your hopes, Reece. I just don't want you to be too disappointed," Keannu said slowly. Andrew nodded, "You are right, Your Majesty. It would be too quick to guess that the child is General Mackenzie's son just by looking at some training results." "Yes. Just pay attention to him the same way you pay attention to that young Gardner. Oh, but ... I have a bad feeling about that kid," Keannu said. The king looked worried so Andrew said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will monitor the child more closely. I won't let him mess up." "That's better," Keannu replied. After that, Andrew ordered several of his subordinates to always be on guard around James Gardner and Riley. Riley didn't realize it at all, but James was starting to

    Without blinking his eyes, Riley replied, "Why should I play guessing games with you? Don't you claim to be the best?" "So, you can find General Mackenzie's son easily, right?" Riley added. James frowned irritably, "It wouldn't be fun if I looked for it myself." "Oh, you mean in other words you want to say that you need my help to find him?" Riley asked, raising his thick right eyebrow. Alen chuckled softly, while Diego openly said, "My roommate, you are determined to find and defeat him. So do it yourself." "Why invite Riley?" Alen said. James, who was initially annoyed, then smiled, "Even though I intended to give a lot of money for this game." Alen and Diego glanced at each other, looking shocked. But, Riley quickly said, "Who cares about money here?" James took a deep breath, "Wood, not everyone comes to this kingdom to purely serve, but most of them expect a high salary." Riley was silent, James continued, "You also know how much salary the king offers. You also know that

    Mary Kesley who was standing in front of the building greeted them with a friendly smile, "Welcome to the ice building, gentlemen." Riley nodded and smiled back, as did Jason Hoult. But James Gardner said, "Why are we asked to come to this building? Why not in the silver, gold or titanium building?" Mary replied, "I don't know. I was just carrying out General Reece's orders." James didn't like that answer so he said again, "You do everything you're told without knowing why, Miss?" Mary intended to answer James' annoying question, but Riley said first, "This lady's job is only to convey orders from the general, not to investigate General Reece's reasons. After all, General Reece doesn't need to explain the actions he takes, except for King Keannu who asks for it." Jason, who didn't like James, immediately nodded in agreement, "Never mind, you've wasted General Reece's valuable time, Gardner." James snorted in annoyance, while Riley said, "We're ready to go inside, Miss Kesley." M

    After Andrew Reece and Jason Hoult entered the special room that Andrew had mentioned earlier, James Gardner took a deep breath. Riley said impatiently, "You don't think that Jason Hoult is General Mackenzie's son, do you?" James, who was stretching his muscles, replied, "Why not? You can see for yourself, right?" "See what? What do you mean?" Riley didn't understand. James sighed, "Wood, you ranked first, but it turns out your thinking is really slow. How did you get that position?" Oh, it wasn't that James didn't recognize Riley's greatness, but he was just annoyed because his roommate didn't immediately understand the situation that was happening. "I don't want to play guessing games with you, James," Riley replied and the young man looked away in annoyance. James spoke again, "Hey, Wood. If you weren't my roommate, I would have ignored you." "I'd rather be ignored by you, thank you very much," Riley replied. James smiled instead, "Oh, I'm very happy to have a suitable inte

    After the door was closed again by Andrew Reece, Jason Hoult immediately asked, "What did he say? Why do you look so upset?" Riley Mackenzie smiled half-forcedly, "It's nothing important." Jason didn't fully believe it so he asked again, "He didn't insult you or say annoying things to upset you, right?" "No, he did not. Hm, even if he says annoying things, I'm used to it," Riley said. Jason stared in surprise, "How do you get used to it?" "We share a dormitory and happen to share a room. So ... hm, you know what I mean, right?" Riley said. Jason looked surprised, "Oh, your luck is really bad. Sharing a dorm with that annoying person? He must be testing your patience." Jason shook his head and added, "If I were you, I'm not sure I could survive being in the same room with him for one night." Riley just chuckled. "Hm, okay, I have to go back to the dormitory. General Reece asked me to go back to the dormitory straight away," Jason said. Riley nodded and let Jason go. He was now

    Andrew held his breath a little, waiting for Riley's answer, who he estimated was William Mackenzie's son after he saw the young man succeed in taking first place with a perfect score. However, he then saw Riley raise his face and smile at him, "Of course, General Reece. How could I not know about the strongest war general that has ever existed in the Ans De Lou Kingdom?" "I really idolize him, General. I even read all the books that discuss him." Riley took a moment to pause and continued, "And the reason I enlisted as a soldier here was also because of him. I also trained hard because I wanted to be one of the people who wore the same armor as General Mackenzie." Andrew was stunned and not long after he smiled at Riley. "You really seem to really idolize General Mackenzie," Andrew said. Riley nodded vigorously, "He is the number one person to follow in his footsteps, General." Of course it was. William Mackenzie was his father. He not only wanted to follow in his father's foot

    "What? How is that possible?" Riley said in disbelief. Mary Kesley once again looked around her and after making sure that no one had actually seen them, the young girl immediately took Riley's hand and led him to an unguarded place. Riley, who was still very confused, couldn't help but immediately asked Mary, "So, how did you do it?" Mary sighed, "We can't be here for long, so I'll just get to the point." Riley also listened carefully. "My mother and your father used to be good friends. My mother was Amanda Clark, who used to be a palace secretary," Mary said. Mary then asked, "Have you ever heard my mother's name? Did your father ever mention my mother's name?" Riley nodded quickly, "When my father returned to the palace, the only people who knew him were Andrew Reece and Amanda Clark. She was also the one who gave my father the name 'Bill Stewart'." Mary smiled, "It's great that you have such a good memory, Young Master Mackenzie." Riley cleared his throat being called that

    William shook his head, "No. He doesn't want to imitate me, I know that for sure. It's just ... I think he has also fallen in love with the world of war, I mean as if it is something he wants to pursue. An ideal or dream , maybe it's more like that." Amanda immediately held her throbbing head. She felt dizzy but she did want to let this matter unsolve."At that time you were able to fake my identity without anyone knowing. This time you can definitely do it, right?" William asked.The woman, who was only a few years younger than William, nodded, "Of course. How could it not be?" "I am the one who knows you now. Andrew Reece who becomes war general now does not know anything about you," Amanda continued.William sighed. He knew that Amanda would help him."Mary, come here!" Amanda called. Mary, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, came out of her room and walked over. Well, she knew William Mackenzie a lot. That was from her mom and her dad. Besides, she also red much abo

    Reiner frowned, "That's impossible. Is he lying?"James shook his head firmly, "No way.""How can you believe her so easily?" Reiner asked while still inspecting the area.James sighed softly, "I have never met an Ans De Lou soldier who dared to lie to me."Reiner instantly turned his head and looked at his friend without blinking.Two seconds later he nodded in agreement, "Oh, you're right. How could anyone dare to deal with you?"James waved his hand.He looked up and widened his eyes once he got something. He quickly asked Reiner to come closer to him."What's up there?" Reiner asked as James looked up.However, James did not answer Reiner's question and instead stood on tiptoe and picked up a small object attached to the wall."What is it?" Reiner asked with a curious expression.James examined the object and immediately cursed, "BASTARD!"Reiner was wide-eyed in shock. James' swearing really sounded full of emotion and his tone of voice was almost like someone who was shouting.

    James sighed softly, it was clear that the soldier knew nothing about the latest situation outside."Yes, I'm back. I wasn't captured by them," James explained as he helped the soldier to lean against the wall.James glanced at his friend who looked very weak, but didn't dare to touch him as his wounds looked much worse.James examined the soldier's wound whose shirt had been torn off briefly and knew immediately that the soldier must have been severely tortured.He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger."Then ... did we win, Deputy War General?" the class two soldier asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.James nodded, "Yes, we won.""R-really, Vice General of War? We won? I'm not dreaming, am I?" the soldier asked with tears on the verge of falling.James looked at the soldier with a sad gaze.The torture he received must have frustrated the soldier for his emotions to become so unstable."You're

    Xylan immediately realized that his father wouldn't just let him go.He knew that Keannu Wellington wasn't in the best of shape, but his father was still thinking things through carefully.Therefore, Xylan who had never lied and would never want to lie, especially to his father replied, "Yes, Father. He is not a palace staff who has been in the palace for a long time. In fact, he doesn't even have any relationships with other palace officials."Keannu instantly fell silent.Xylan quickly composed words and continued, "But ... I can guarantee that he will do his duty well. You will see that my choice will not be wrong."Keannu let out a long breath.Xylan was beginning to worry.And after a long silence, Keannu finally looked back at his son and said, "Alright."Keannu's one-word statement confused Xylan so he asked again, "Alroght? What do you mean, Father?"Keannu smiled gently, "You can choose him."

    Xylan could only remain silent without being able to say a word.Keannu sighed softly. He looked at his son who was still so shocked.The old man said hoarsely, "I know you're not ready yet, but ... I believe you're capable of leading this country."Xylan lifted his head and looked at his father's pale face that looked so very weak.Xyan instantly wanted to curse himself. How could he think so weakly? He may be young, but he was not ignorant. Over the years he had learned various things, including about the government system. His father had also taught him about many things to prepare him as his successor.Then, after all that had happened, how could he be hesitant like that?Moreover, his father's condition no longer allowed him to rule the country. Keannu Wellington was no longer young. He had experienced a great deal of health problems.Keannu's time as a king was up.

This is all because of you.""If it wasn't for your strategy, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the sea area," Josh continued, sounding like someone who was holding back tears.He didn't even dare to look directly through the screen at James.James smiled at Josh and chuckled, "Gosh, are you going to cry?"Josh snorted but everyone could see that Josh was really very moved. All the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had known all the efforts that Josh Cleve had made to improve his sea warrior skills. However, he had not been successful.However, after James Gardner became his leader, he was able to bring victory to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.With so much gratitude Josh said again, "It's all thanks to you, General."James instantly shook hi

    A class two soldier of James' age replied, "Maybe he was practicing during his long break."Ben shook his head, "I'm not sure.""You mean, Senior Ben?" Jason Hoult asked with a facial expression full of confusion.Ben smiled faintly.Without turning his head towards Jason, the man who had long been a first-class soldier replied, "There's no time for that. He's very busy managing his business.""What business, Senior Ben?" Jason asked back, looking both surprised and curious. Ben almost tapped his forehead from talking too much."Uh, what are we doing? Isn't it time to help him? Come on, Jason. Get back to your position!" Ben ordered.Jason was forced to move away from the area in disappointment. Uh, he was really very curious about the story of James Gardner.He used to feud with the young man who always had a cold impression, but he could finally understand James' attitude.James always had an annoying expression on his face, but the young man wasn't actually an annoying man.

Do you think that by capturing us, you think your army will win over our army?"Kurt laughed dismissively. "In case you forgot ... I'll remind you, we ... have an important person from your kingdom.""That's right, your war general is in our hands. What can you do with your new war general? What can he do?" a soldier sitting beside Kurt said in an annoying tone.Kurt flashed his mocking smile again to irritate Justin.Justin raised his right eyebrow and immediately realized that there was no way he could get what he wanted from the enemy soldiers. The young man sighed softly. He felt that talking to the enemy soldiers was pointless so he simply replied, "Well, since you can only belittle us, it would be much better if we didn't hear your voice."Kurt frowned, looking somewhat confused.However, it wasn't long before he heard Justin command, "Shut them all up!

It looks like General Gardner is confused.""What? Why is he confused? Does that mean he's going to ... retreat?"A class two soldier who heard those words instantly turned to the class three soldier as he raised his visor, "What did you just say, huh? You think General Gardner is a coward?""No-no ... so, Senior. But ... why didn't he act immediately? We're already in enemy territory," the soldier replied, who initially seemed to doubt his general stammeringly.The class two soldier who defended James replied, "Perhaps General Gardner is adjusting himself.

But ....""But, why?" Xylan asked with a questioning look on his face."Are you really serious, Your Highness?" Gary ventured to ask.Xylan took offense, "What do you mean?
