Meanwhile, Riley was still moving with great agility and didn't seem to be under any pressure. Bradley could feel it in Riley's shots that were not too far apart."That young man is crazy! How can he be patient like that?"The man shook his head, "If I were him, I would have killed my enemy already. Why does he persist in attacking like that?"And again, he marveled at Riley's vision. Bradley thought that the young man seemed to have the eyes of a cat that had clear vision in the dark of night.However, he was wrong. Riley actually felt a bit clumsy when fighting in the dark."Oh, damn! When will he give up?" the young man muttered in frustration. He could have shot Bradley right through the heart. During the battle that had lasted several minutes, he had only memorized how Bradley moved and it had worked quite well.His predictions were pretty much fixed. Bradley was actually moving according to what he learned when he took out Bradley's friends who were still lying not far from wh
William looked at Andrew intently from where he was sitting, but Andrew did not answer. William could only sigh softly.Keannu who heard the sensitive conversation chose to respond, "Bill, come on! Andrew isn't the one who has the great ability to defeat enemies without killing. He is not you.""If he hadn't done that ... he could have been the one who got killed. You ... wouldn't want one of your most favorite soldiers to get killed?" Keannu continued, clearly defending Andrew.William exhaled harshly, "We'll talk about that later when you get to the palace, Reece! And now ... listen to me!"The discussion resumed and the king kept his mouth shut while listening to William explain his war strategy. Meanwhile, apart from asking the soldiers he was with to head to the area where the battle was, Greg Sehel also reminded them to be more careful when approaching.It was obvious that it must be a battle that took place between his kingdom's army and the enemy kingdom. However, since he
After hearing that stern voice, the person who was hiding finally revealed himself.One of the soldiers standing beside Greg pointed a flashlight at the person quickly so that they could find out the person's identity.Morphy glared in surprise, "Wood!"Greg looked up at the young man walking toward him."Commander," Riley greeted with a grimace, really not expecting to meet one of the commanders of his kingdom's army.He glanced at the figure of the soldier who had fought with him. He let out a long sigh, knowing that the man named Bradley Martin was dead.I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to die. I never really intended to kill you, but you died at the hands of someone else, Riley thought, quite sorry for what happened to the man who had a grudge against his father.The young man then raised his face, looking at Greg Sehel. He had a guilt-ridden expression and was already preparing himself for a spanking, just like when he met with Morphy and Ryan earlier.He knew he had broken the rule
Riley did not immediately answer Greg's words.The young man took a few seconds to reply, "I ... really can't know what might happen in the future. But ... what I do know is that I currently have a pretty close relationship with him."Greg's long sigh was audible to Riley. The commander could not say too much at that time due to the situation. So he simply whispered, "Let's talk about this again later, after we return to the palace."Riley nodded obediently, not arguing. He then looked back and saw that James was being carried by Ben. "Do you want me to take over carrying him, senior?"Greg heard that, but he could only shake his head."No need, it's close," Ben replied as he didn't look tired at all.They didn't encounter any obstacles as they walked towards the base. There were no enemy soldiers blocking them either. Morphy breathed a sigh of relief, "We're lucky we didn't run into them in the dark and with limited weaponry like this."However, Shin seemed to disagree, "This is ver
"It can go away, it's just ... there's no such thing as medicine here. We are at war, Riley. The most important thing, of course, is to heal the soldiers' wounds faster so that they can return to battle," Alen replied as he checked James' condition once more.Riley frowned, "Fight again? With his condition this bad?"Alen sighed exasperatedly, "Hey, my good friend. We've managed to keep him afloat and we can expect him to make a full recovery in two or three days.""His leg is broken, Alen. The bullet wound-""We've got it covered, trust me! Oh, my goodness. I can't believe this. You're doubting our medical capabilities?" Alen cut in, looking offended.Riley grimaced, "That's not what I meant. It's just that with the wounds he got, is there any way he can still join the war?"Alen sighed irritably. "Of course he can. This is an age where medicine is very advanced. Come on, where do you actually live, Riley? I seem to recall you recovering very quickly as well."Riley didn't dispute th
Greg was of course serious. After he learned the facts about Riley's true identity, he didn't have the slightest doubt about the young man.After all, Riley had proven that he was indeed one of the best prospective soldiers available at that time by ranking first in many fields.In addition, the young man who was the son of William Mackenzie had also proven himself to be able to escape battles with enemy troops that could not be said to be easy.That was enough to make him confident that Riley could have brilliant ideas like his father.However, seeing the young man's expression, Greg wasn't foolish enough to continue discussing the matter and finally he chuckled, "Of course I'm just kidding."He took a sip of his coffee and continued, "I've heard all the stories from your seniors and you're ... great. However, you still need more time to develop yourself."Riley nodded in agreement, while Alen laughed crisply and responded, "He ... is great, Commander and I'm sure ... he will definit
The men were silent, resigned to what the war general ordered.They realized they were just men who had to obey a leader's orders and if they didn't, they would be in trouble themselves."After this long war, I can determine the positions according to your respective abilities. And don't feel inferior if you're not in the front row. This is not the time to feel jealous or resentful just because you are placed in the middle or back row."Greg sighed softly and then continued after he was sure that all the soldiers who only numbered in the hundreds looked ready, "Remember, all you have to do is survive. We ... are attacking them but ... we are not allowed to kill them."Hearing that Ben, Shin and some of the senior soldiers who were used to finishing off their enemies gaped in shock. Not only that, some of them also seemed to be babbling as if it was impossible to do.As for Riley, he did not look nervous or agitated. On the contrary, he was relieved by the new rules. He could also gue
In a firm voice, Riley replied, "I am ready to do whatever it takes to defend this kingdom, Commander."A satisfied smile appeared on Greg Sehel's lips just before he closed the glass of his protective helmet. The commander immediately gave the order for all of them to get ready and within seconds they were off to storm the first point Andrew Reece had directed. The journey took almost an hour, but none of the four hundred soldiers seemed to want to retreat from the battlefield. Ryan said, "It won't be easy, but I won't lose to that young man."He clearly pointed at Riley and his best friend, Morphy immediately commented, "Ben told me that kid can attack enemy soldiers without killing them and Shin has confirmed it."Ryan sighed in exasperation, "It's very annoying but I have to admit ... that kid's abilities must be pretty decent for Commander Sehel to seem to like him.""Well, at first I thought it might be because he happens to be the king's future son-in-law, but ... after seei
"General, we're surrounded."A soldier with a bullet wound in his leg dragged himself to walk towards the place where the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was preparing his weapons.The soldier who was staggering as he walked was no longer wearing his head armour or any other body armour. That made the war general glare angrily at him, "What have you done? Where is your armour?"The soldier of the first class could only grimace in pain and replied, "It's unusable, too many bullet wounds."Riley Mackenzie widened his eyes and instantly removed the goggles protecting his eyes.The young man crouched down and looked at Benedict Arkitson's injuries, which were extremely severe. Not only had his leg been shot, but his left abdomen was also severely injured. In addition, Riley saw countless other wounds. "Stay here! The medical staff will help you soon," Riley ordered firmly.Ben shook his head, "How can I leave you alone against the main army? There are too many of them.""Reiner will

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
