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

    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

    Hearing Gary Davis' answer, Xylan Wellington frowned.Is this really the same young man who always gives me good solutions? Xylan wondered.The future king looked deeper and deeper at Gary and finally raised his right eyebrow when he realized he had thought something stupid.More and more Xylan realized that Gary Davis might indeed be smart and dexterous and quite knowledgeable. But, such an intelligent person could also have an innocent nature like the young man had just shown himself."Your Highness, why don't you answer my question? Am I-""Forget it!" Xylan cut in quickly.Gary scratched behind his ear in confusion.Xylan sighed and said, "Gary, are you anxiously awaiting the announcement of the changes in staff and palace officials later?"Gary frowned, quite surprised by Xylan's question.The young man opened his mouth and stammered, "Your Royal Highness, I ... I'm just ...."Just by looking at Gary's expression, Xylan instantly knew that his guess was correct. The young man di

    "Of course it is. Otherwise, how could his café business be successful?" Diego said, who seemed to be satisfied with the results achieved by James, his best friend.Reiner became more interested, "How? I mean ... you know he's ... well, he can't be polite and he tends to annoy people. So, what did he change?"Diego looked like he was about to answer, but Shin suddenly said in an incredulous tone, "Oh, wait a minute. He manages the cafe business together with his mother, right? Uh, I'm sure the customers come to his place because of his nice mom."Ben nodded in agreement, "I've never met James' mother, but ... considering James is like that, I'll take Shin's word for it."Diego immediately put on a sour expression, looking rather annoyed. This was because his own friends apparently didn't know James very well.However, he was the one who was witness to how James had changed so much that he felt the need to set the record straight."Hey, I'm telling you seriously. James, who is the owne

    Alen did not immediately answer the question of his senior and good friend. He seemed to think for a moment before finally giving an answer, "It's like you don't know James.""What do you mean?" Shin replied while blinking.Alen snorted impatiently, "Shin, James is unpredictable. You must also know that sometimes he can do things that no one would ever think of. So, how can I guess what he might do?"Shin was stunned. The young man smiled wryly, "Damn, you're right about that. He is indeed unpredictable."In the end, the two people did not ask James any questions about what they discussed. When the funeral was over, they all returned to their respective places. However, not James Gardner. The young man who was the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom at that time was seen walking towards Xylan Wellington's residence.Of course, this led to various speculations among most of the palace residents. It was not only the officials and staff of the palace who began to notice the irregularitie

    "It will, Diego," James replied."He can wait," James repeated with emphasis.Diego didn't seem convinced by James' answer.James was usually reluctant to go into too much detail about what he was thinking. However, Diego was one of his best friends so he didn't want to confuse his best friend.So, James said, "He's not an easy guy to beat, Diego. And ... there's one thing you need to know.""What's that?" Diego asked with one eyebrow raised."His own father, I mean General Mackenzie told me that his son ... will not die easily," James explained.Diego was so dumbfounded that he didn't dare reply.James was sure his job of explaining was done, but he still added, "If the greatest and most powerful general the Ans De Lou Kingdom has ever seen said that, then there's a very good chance that Riley is still alive out there."Diego was silent for a few moments.But then he said, "If General Mackenzie believes that, we have no right to doubt him.""You're right, Diego. Therefore, we just ha

    William's lips lifted upwards once again, forming a warm smile."James, without me explaining it, you ... must know it yourself, right?" William said softly.After that, the old man who was once the strongest soldier in the kingdom patted James on the back and then left James pensive.The young man swallowed hard. Suddenly he remembered all the things about Riley, more precisely their friendship that they had established since the beginning.All those memories came back. One of the memories that bothered him was when they were still not officially inducted into the army. At that time he was upset and made the stupid and desperate decision to attack the enemy as proof that he was different from his father. Then, the only person who really cared about him was Riley. He was the one who sacrificed himself to save him. At that time, he and Riley were both aspiring soldiers. Neither of them had the slightest experience on the battlefield. But, Riley was still looking for him.Uh, when he

    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
