Riley was silent for a few seconds and that immediately made Ben say again, “Which group does he belong to?”Riley reluctantly answered, “Group three, senior.”Ben sighed but nodded to himself. He was a little disappointed with the division of soldiers, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.“He doesn't seem sad or disappointed with the results,” Riley said, trying to make Ben much calmer.Ben smiled, “I know. He's never protested about the division of the group since long ago.”He paused for a few seconds and said again, “Well, sometimes he does say he doesn't like it or looks worried. But she really doesn't care about this kind of thing.”Riley understood it too, but strangely it was Ben who looked sad. The young man did not understand why Ben was lamenting Shin's fate.However, then Ben suddenly said, “Shin really wanted to be one of the medical staff.”Riley was wide-eyed in shock, “Why didn't you tell the commander?”Ben suddenly wore a sad expression, “He can't retu
When the explosion was heard by the enemy troops, they immediately panicked. “What is this? They dare to attack us now?”“Didn't they just lose a lot of troops?”A fierce-faced war general of the Fermoza Kingdom quickly picked up his weapon in a bit of panic.He also shouted angrily at a man who was nervously touching his weapon, “War Councilor, what is the meaning of this?”The man growled angrily, “You said that they wouldn't dare attack us if we placed the war commanders in different places, in all the remote spots. You ... also believe this strategy will leave them confused.”“Then what is this? They even dare to attack this area,” the war general named Fabian Fermoza continued.The man was still quite young, still around thirty-three years old and he was one of the cousins of the king who was currently in charge.The king's advisor with trembling lips that had turned pale replied, “General, I don't think they would dare to do so. Andrew Reece ... is not a very smart person. He-”
Philip deliberated for a while, still not deciding. The look in his eyes still showed a great deal of guidance.Alexander, on the other hand, didn't want to let the man think further or realize what he was losing.Besides, he didn't have much time so he really had to urge Philip to come up with a solution to the current mess. “What are you waiting for?” Alexander said with a half-suppressed annoyance.Philip moistened his lips and intended to reply, but Alexander suddenly interrupted him by saying, “Oh, it looks like you don't want to.”“M-Master. I-I'm ....”Philip looked startled as Alexander looked away.The war advisor also waved his hand and said in an offended tone, “I'm just giving you a good opportunity. If you really don't want this opportunity, I won't force you anymore.”Philip widened his eyes. Especially when he saw Alexander walking towards the exit in a hurry.As if realizing his stupidity, Philip quickly caught up with Alexander and said in a pleading tone, “Sir, I apo
Riley was even stunned for about three seconds and almost took a shot to the heart if someone had pulled him out of the way too late.No one could blame a young soldier for feeling nervous when confronted with the highest-ranking officer in the enemy army.Anyone would have trembled in the face of a war general who was known to be more skilled than his men.That was also the case for Riley. But he wasn't afraid at all. He was just too shocked and a little nervous.The young man reflexively turned to the person who had saved his life and was surprised to recognize the person who always wore his protective helmet at a slight angle, “James.”“How did you get here? Shouldn't you be next-”James growled angrily, “What's wrong with you, why are you losing focus? Are you-”However, before he could finish his tirade against Riley, two bullets were fired at both of them simultaneously. The two didn't seem to have enough to say to each other, but they had to put their conversation on hold.Once
As if guessing what action William Mackenzie would take, Andrew Reece said, “If he knew what was going on here, he would definitely choose to hide his son's identity indefinitely.”Greg Sehel wanted to argue, but he really couldn't think of anything that the best war general might do so he could only hope that complicated things wouldn't happen in the future.On the other hand, Riley and James still looked united, even sharing the task of taking down the war general of the Fermoza Kingdom.Some of the class one soldiers looked shocked at the bravery of the two young men.“Aren't they afraid to die?”“I don't think so. If they were afraid, the two of them wouldn't have advanced to that dangerous place.”Someone responded, “Never mind, just let them be. They are too stupid.” A class one soldier responded, “Fighting a war general? Only soldiers who want to die do that.”Some of the class one and two soldiers laughed mockingly at the two young men who were considered too brave. However,
Riley immediately realized that his words had made James disappointed with him. Riley approached James carefully and patted his friend on the back. He then said, “No. I'm not afraid you'll imitate your father, James.”He paused for a moment before continuing, “You know ... anything can happen in war. Everything is possible. But ... what I mean is that you could lose self-control and kill him.”“After all, we have been at war for a long time and even this war is one of the longest wars ever fought in our kingdom. We are all tired, that's for sure. Out of exhaustion and frustration you could have done it.”James was still silent and looked at Riley as if he was judging him.However, Riley very calmly said again, “This has nothing to do with your father and I'm sure you're much different from him.”“Right?” Riley added, emphasizing the last sentence he said.Riley sighed and almost thought James wouldn't believe what he was saying. However, he was wrong. James nodded instead, “Yes, you
Without thinking Ben replied, “That doesn't matter either. If you face another enemy, General Reece will definitely take over.”Ben turned his head toward the rear, right where the main army was already advancing. “General Reece seems to have managed to take control of several enemy areas. We're just waiting for him to come here.”Riley nodded without arguing, “Alright, senior. It looks like I'll have to stay here a little longer until General Reece arrives.”Ben nodded in return and soon he was helping Riley to face Fabian Fermoza.However, as time went on, Fabian Fermoza seemed to grow bolder and bolder in attacking them. Ben realized that his ability was very far below Fabian. In fact, Riley, who was still a junior soldier, also began to look overwhelmed by Fabian.“Why is he getting stronger? Wasn't he not like that before?” Ben muttered in astonishment.His several shootouts with Fabian were won by Fabian and he had also been hit by one shot although the bullet did not emerged hi
Trembling, Alexander replied, “Forgive me, General. I sent one of my men to look into the war situation, but he hasn't returned yet. I can't do anything if I don't know the situation.”Alexander's answer apparently made Fabian instantly become angry. The tall, well-built and very dashing man stared angrily at Alexander.“You ... then, why didn't you go there yourself? Why sent someone else instead, huh?” Fabian said in a high tone that instantly made everyone in the room fall silent, mute.No one wanted to see their ruthless war general angry. That was because they already knew that if Fabian Fermoza was angry, he could do terrible things that humans might never think of.But, unfortunately, this time they were in a situation that they could not escape from so all they could do was stand still like statues as if they had not witnessed anything. “I can't possibly go there myself, General. It's very dangerous, I could get killed,” Alexander answered honestly.He did not hide his selfish
