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
The Wood family was currently gathered together in their living room after the engagement ceremony between Shirley Wood, the youngest of the Wood family and Peter Green, the son of the gold mine owner at Carlo Hill. Cassandra Wood who was the older sister of Shirley, was sitting on the edge and didn't seem to like being there. Several times she saw her husband being a servant to her family. She was upset. Very upset. How could she not? Her husband had no authority whatsoever and was often the target of her family. She really wanted to see her husband fight back, at least once. But, in fact, until they had been married for almost three years, Bill was still the same. Still becoming a useless son-in-law to her family. "Hurry up and fill this glass, Bill!" Shirley ordered her brother-in-law. Bill calmly picked up the bottle of red wine and opened it quickly and refilled Shirley's glass. He then stood next to the old man who was Cassandra's grandfather, Christopher Wood who had a po
