However, Greg Sehel knew there was nothing he could do. Riley, the general's son, knew the risks of his friendship with James Gardner and he was sure that the young man must have thought things through.

"Commander, we have a call from General Reece," a staff member said a moment later.

Greg nodded and quickly re-entered the tent where he could communicate with Andrew Reece.

Riley looked at Greg who entered the tent and frowned, somewhat confused.

James asked, "Why? Did he ... do something earlier when you were on the battlefield?"

Riley rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? He certainly did a lot of things on the battlefield. He's our leader."

James snorted impatiently, "I mean, did he get you in trouble? Like telling you to do something difficult?"

"If so, is he that-"

"Stop thinking useless thoughts, James Gardner!" Riley interrupted quickly.

"I'm just-"

"You're worried about me? Wow! I'm so touched," Riley cut in once again and she smiled widely.

James snorted, "Why would

    Andrew Reece was silent for a few moments, as if deeply shocked by the question the royal staff had thrown at him."You ... have a higher position than him, General Reece. Shouldn't he be obeying your orders?" the staff added, as if not knowing that Andrew looked uncomfortable with his previous words. Suddenly, Andrew Reece slammed the glass in front of him. It made the staffer jump in surprise, never expecting such a response from the general.That staff was very shocked that he didn't even dare to move his eyeballs.Apparently, the royal staff's last words had stirred Andrew's anger. "Are you saying my position is higher than his? You're ... dead wrong. Although I am currently the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom, William Mackenzie is still the one who will be above me. No matter if he's retired or not, he will still be the one I respect the most," Andrew explained with a sharp look in his eyes.The staff swallowed nervously, not even daring to move after hearing the general's co

    "Yeah," Riley replied without looking James in the eye.James asked again, "Who is he? Is he a senior soldier or a palace official?"Before Riley could answer James' question, someone lined up right next to James said, "How could he know? Even the senior soldiers don't know about it."James immediately turned to the young man who he knew was one of the soldiers who also lived in the same dormitory as him, "What do you mean the seniors don't know about that?""Commander Sehel didn't tell anyone about it. He only said that the war strategy has been changed by a new war advisor appointed by King Keannu."He then lowered his voice as he did not want anyone to hear him speak, "As for who he is, whether it is from the soldiers, officials or outsiders, no one knows except Commander Sehel and a few people trusted by the king who know."James Gardner understood his friend's explanation very easily and sighed softly with a furrowed forehead, "Mysterious. Oh, no ... it's more like very strange.

    Alen immediately turned to James, as well as Riley who was staring at him with an incomprehensible look.At first James was a bit confused by the stares of his two friends. However, he suddenly realized something, "Hey, my father was a traitor. I know about it, but ... he didn't betray this kingdom."He took off his protective helmet and quickly rubbed his nose. That little activity was a sign that he was becoming nervous and agitated.Realizing that, Riley immediately put his arm around James and said, "We know. Your father is not a traitor like we think he is. Calm down!"Alen also responded, "Riley is right. You ... don't have to feel weird anymore. I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you earlier. However, I really didn't mean to make you think of your father."The situation became awkward. The unusual conversation made them misbehave themselves.However, it didn't last long. When Ben and Shin moved to their places, the atmosphere became

    James was silent, suddenly looking thoughtful.Alen also frowned as he looked at Riley as if asking for further explanation.Seeing an opportunity come to him, Riley emphasized again, "So, the main headquarters should be more thorough and careful. There is no disadvantage in following this procedure. It will benefit many parties, especially our kingdom.""With this test or examination, we can also find out who chose to resign or is no longer able to continue playing a role," Riley explained further.James really couldn't argue with Riley's words. He could only grumble, "But ... this is taking too long."Ben and Shin were stunned to see that Riley was able to make the two juniors finally come to their senses."Be patient!" Ben said quickly, helping Riley."Is your wound getting worse? Do you want me to check it, James?" Alen offered as he now seemed to be on Riley's side completely.Shin also said in a worried tone, "If your wound gets worse, I'll ask-""No, I'm fine," James cut in imp

    Seeing the strange expressions of his two junior soldiers, Shin added, "Life as a palace soldier is not easy."A sigh was heard from the soldier who used to be a medical staff. The palace regulations did allow every soldier who finished their training period to get married. There are no regulations that prohibit them from living a normal life like the rest of society.However, in their first year of marriage, they were forbidden to bring their wives to live in the palace. The soldiers' wives could only enter and live in the palace in the second year of their marriage. But, they were not able to stay without permission. They had to undergo tests and examinations until they were cleared. However, once they were granted permission, they would be given the freedom to live in the palace with their husbands indefinitely and have the right to use the palace facilities provided by the kingdom. "General Reece is not married. Why should I?" Shin explained as he saw the shock on the faces of

    James was even more inflamed when he heard these words full of sarcasm. He immediately detached himself from Riley and said, "You're class one soldiers, but why don't you use your brains to think?"The staff glared angrily, "Young man, watch your language!""Why should I?" James retorted as he was now free of Riley, "You don't watch your mouth when you speak.""James," Riley called.James turned his head, "Why? Do you want me to stay silent when we're even accused of being a treasonous force? I ... can't let them do that."The soldiers of the class one laughed condescendingly. "You're ... hm, James Gardner. Gardner.""Did you hear his last name that I just said?" the red-haired soldier continued.A staffer with a pistol in hand frowned, "Uh, so you're the one ... the traitor's son?""You're-"James' face turned red due to the anger that had overcome him. Riley clenched his fists, barely able to control himself anymore.Meanwhile, Ben and Shin also looked just as angry as Riley or Jame

    Seeing James remain silent, Reynhard grinned once more, displaying his canines as if he was ready to tear James apart.The man felt that he had succeeded in scaring James so he confidently said, "Oh, good that you're scared now. You should know better, Gardner.""Don't think you're safe, just because you're friends with a future king's son-in-law!" Reynhard said, seemingly having the upper hand.The still silent James finally raised his face, looking into Reynhard's eyes with a flat expression.However, the young man still said nothing until Reynhard finally chose to speak again, "I ... may not dare to face Wood, but you ... a traitorous son of a bitch like you I can easily conquer."The man who was one of class one soldiers was about to smile, but he didn't because he suddenly heard James laughing out loud. In fact, his laughter was so crisp that the bewildered Reynhardt looked at him with a gaze full of astonishment and confusion, "What are you laughing at?" James stopped his laug

    Riley didn't answer and that made Reynhard feel victorious. He haughtily added, "Wow! How pathetic! I guess you won't be able to do anything without-""If that's what you think, then I wouldn't blame you," Riley cut in quickly, making several senior soldiers immediately sneer at him.Reynhard smiled dismissively, "Oh, so you admit it." "Of course, why would I deny it? It's the truth," Riley retorted, making Reynhard's friends look down on the young man.Reynhard laughed sarcastically, "Uh, I see. You are really disgusting, Wood. "You pathetic soldier! Using your position to get special treatment." A friend of Reynhard's said while staring with a mocking expression.Some people laughed mockingly, but Riley didn't seem to care too much.However, after letting the people have their fill of laughing at him, the almost-twenty-two-year-old said, "Indeed, being a future king's son-in-law is quite an advantage for me after all."The people fell silent again, watching Riley intently.Riley t

    Lory Blackwell had seen the face of the supreme warrior leader in the Ans De Lou Kingdom, but he had never been that close to the man whose hair looked a little long.He was only a class three soldier, a soldier of the lowest class who would rarely interact with the war general. In fact, he had never even spoken to Reiner Anderson, the ground war commander. His position as an ordinary soldier with no achievements or advantages made it rare for him to get close to great soldiers. "General Mackenzie. It's really you," Lory said once again. Oh, he still couldn't believe what was happening. For him to meet the person standing not far from him was like a very rare dream.He really is Riley Mackenzie, the war general who disappeared without news and is currently being searched for, Lory said to herself. Riley Mackenzie did not respond to the call of Lory Blackwell who was staring at him without even blinking. The war general of the Ans De Lou Kingdom who was also Keannu Wellington's so

    Lory Blackwell paused, trying to compose himself.According to what he knew, the forest located in the border area close to the Mecco Kingdom was an uninhabited forest. The dense forest was a wild forest inhabited only by animals. Although soldiers from the two kingdoms, Ans De Lou Kingdom and Mecco Kingdom, did check regularly, it was still very rare.So, it was no surprise that Lory thought he had misheard. "Probably just a hallucination." The young man said quietly and nodded, reassuring himself.However, after a few seconds he heard the same voice again, "Hey, I'm over here."Lory's eyes widened. He became very alert.On such a dark night, of course he couldn't see very clearly so he could only squint and hold his gun tightly. But, from the voice of the person, Lory guessed that the voice was coming from his right so he turned his head to his right. As he climbed up the large tree that he used as cover, he did notice that there were several other large trees in the vicinity.

    Ben quickly racked his brain, thinking of the right way to put James at ease. But before he could come up with a good line, he heard James say again, "Or ... is he angry that I took his current position? But, ...."James shook his head weakly, "There's no way he's angry because of that right? Moreover ... he knows very well that I never wanted her position. He must be-""Stop thinking like that, James! Are you stupid?" Ben said in an annoyed tone.James was about to respond, but Ben raised his right hand as if asking James to be quiet for a few moments.James seemed to understand the meaning of Ben's gesture and he let out a long sigh.Ben swallowed before explaining, "James, you know Riley doesn't care about the title 'War General' either. Basically, both of you are not crazy about positions."James faltered. Ben was right. How could Riley be disappointed and angry with me over this damn title? That doesn't sound like 'Riley Mackenzie', James thought.The young man exhaled harshly.

    Without looking away, Ben thought hard. James didn't just stand by, waiting for Ben's answer. He himself repeatedly touched the handkerchief to scrutinize it. Not only that, the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was also sniffing the gray handkerchief as if he was looking for something.Seeing what James was doing, Ben impatiently commented, "You're not a dog. How can you track someone's whereabouts from sniffing that thing?"James instantly gave Ben an exasperated look, "That's not it. I'm just trying to smell this handkerchief. Who knows ... it might turn out to be a clue.""Then ... did you get a clue after sniffing the cloth?" Ben asked with a casual look.With a look of disappointment, James replied, "No. I didn't. I just smelled the earth."Had they not been in a serious situation, Ben's laughter would have exploded. However, they were working on an important mission so Ben knew he had to restrain himself. He certainly didn't want to be seen as trivializing his friend's rescu

    Foei Maccray turned around and looked sarcastically at the junior.When he saw Lory Blackwell's compliance, Foei Maccray smiled wryly as if satisfied that he had succeeded in making one of his juniors submit to his orders.Of course, that made him feel big-headed. Hence, Foei haughtily said again, "Keep standing here until we are out of your sight. After that ... then you can walk."Lory Blackwell did not reply. But Foei took his silence as obedience so he said, "Good! You should obey your seniors' orders."Lory just swallowed without daring to say a word. However, Foei did not need an answer so he just continued walking along with his good friend, Derrick Weybe who looked bored in Lory's neighborhood. The other soldiers followed the two senior soldiers with mixed feelings. Apparently there were some of them who were starting to feel sympathetic towards Lory. But due to their status and class being much lower than the two senior soldiers who were bullying Lory, they chose to be cowa

    Derrick snorted in annoyance, while Foei immediately responded, "Oh, you seem to be very timid!" Foei cast his gaze at Derrick and then flashed a smile with a mocking expression. Derrick shook his head, also smiling mockingly."If you're scared, why would you want to participate in this important mission?" Foei said.Lory quickly shook her head, "I'm not afraid ... I’m just-""Huh? Not afraid? Then, why did you just say that?" Derrick cut Lory off, as if he deliberately didn't want to hear Lory speak."You're obviously a coward! Oh my! You should have stayed in the palace and not joined the search for General Mackenzie," Foei explained with a lopsided smile. "Coward!" Derrick taunted again. "A pathetic soldier like you who dares to tell us we're slow? Who do you think you are, my superior?" Foei said with a cold tone and a dismissive expression.Oh, he was really very satisfied seeing Lory's helpless expression.The two men deliberately wanted to humiliate Lory. Their intentions w

    Seeing James' confident smile, Ben instantly realized that his best friend was unpredictable. But, when he recalled the relationship between James and Riley in the past, he felt that everything James said was true. Riley had always been completely open to James. The young man only hid one thing, which was the fact that he was William Mackenzie's son. Other than that, Riley had no other secrets from James. Meanwhile, Riley was also the only person who could understand James very well. Only Riley is able to understand every action taken by James and James only wants to talk about things with Riley.So, seeing all these facts, Ben finally nodded, "Okay, then. What should I do?"James snorted and immediately put on a sullen face, "Come on, Ben! I told you earlier."Ben rolled his eyes, "I still don't understand. Please explain in more detail!"With an annoyed expression James replied, "If I had the authority to downgrade soldiers, I would definitely downgrade you to class two."Ben's n

    Although they seemed confused by the war general's order, they still unanimously replied, "Yes, General."It wasn't long before all the soldiers formed a line where they would prepare to search for Riley Mackenzie as ordered by James Gardner.Most of the first class soldiers did not hesitate to do the task, but there were some of the class two soldiers who seemed to be unsure of what they were going to do.Two of them were Foei Mccray and Derrick Weybe."I don't understand why General Gardner is searching the forest. How could General Mackenzie be here? This doesn't make sense," Derrick said, who had just lined up facing the front of the forest.The twenty-six year old young man was in the front row with his best friend so they could still talk in a fairly low tone of voice.Foei nodded in agreement, seemingly thinking the same as Derrick, "He's probably too frustrated to pick a spot."Derrick exhaled harshly then glanced towards the front where several class one soldiers seemed to be

    Gary Davis shook his head with a super confused expression. He couldn't guess what might have happened. He himself did not know James Gardner very well. He entered the palace when James Gardner had just resigned from the post of deputy general of war. So basically he had only met James a few times. It was different with Riley Mackenzie. He had met Riley countless times. In fact, it could be said that he already knew how Riley behaved. However, he could not think of anything about James Gardner. He was just like a blind man when it came to James. "Even young General Mackenzie is not suspicious of you. He's been in the palace longer than that general. I don't understand," Elena said, who also hadn't found the answer to the question that was bothering her.She also still didn't understand. However, a thought occurred to Gary. "Maybe I was in too much of a hurry, Gran," Gary said suddenly.Elena frowned, "What do you mean, Gary? What kind of hurry?"Gary sighed softly, "Approaching
