“I can't, General,” Reiner replied in a formal tone.

Riley called him by his title which meant that the youngest war general was exercising his authority so he had to behave the same way towards him.

Riley sighed, “I have to go there. This is to save our kingdom.”

Reiner remained adamant, “Then why don't you talk to the deputy war general, General?”

Riley exhaled harshly, “You heard yesterday that he doesn't agree.”

“Me too. I don't agree with you going there alone either. That would be like handing yourself over to the enemy. Gosh, Riley, you're not that stupid, are you?” Reiner retorted.

Riley fell silent.

At the sight of Riley's silence, Reiner was stunned. He had just realized something.

“Shit! Riley ... you went there on purpose to give yourself up, right? You knew that was going to happen and you were still determined to go there. You-”

Reiner did not have time to finish his sentence because at the same time Riley hit him on the weak part of Reiner's body and slammed Reiner onto

    “If I could have prevented it, I would have,” Reiner said without the slightest attempt to detach himself from James.James gritted his teeth, “Why couldn't you prevent him?”“He slammed me to the ground. You know how capable he is, right? He's so fast that I couldn't predict he would attack me so suddenly like that,” Reiner explained guiltily.James shook his head firmly, “You ... why didn't you call for help? No yelling and-”“He tied me up, James. Do you think I would intentionally let him go?” Reiner asked by looking at James straight on.Reiner added, “And he covered my mouth with a cloth. He ... seemed to have anticipated that someone would want to stop him so he immediately knew what to do.”James felt his head throbbing violently. However, because the young man still didn't know what to do, he still gripped Reiner's collar as if by doing so he could blame Reiner for Riley's departure.“Are you that weak that you can't break free?” James asked again.Reiner sighed softly, “Is t

    “There's no need to argue like that,” a soldier with a tired expression said.As they fell silent, the young man who was a first-class soldier who had also been Riley's opponent for the title of war general, Josh Cleve, continued, “We shouldn't argue about something like this. All we have to do is fully support the deputy general's decision.”His friend who was also a first class soldier responded, “Josh, you ... don't hate him at all? He beat you, but why are you supporting him?”Josh looked surprised at his friend's words, “Why should I hate him? James ... or Riley can win over me because their skills are so much better than mine.”“Anyway, it's all been proven. They both deserve those two titles,” Josh added.After hearing all of Josh's words, not a single soldier commented on James Gardner's war strategy.Just before leaving to search for Riley and attack their enemy, James told Alen, “Whatever happens, you have to stay close to me, Alen. We ... don't know what might happen. If I g

    “SHIT!” Evan cursed with anger overwhelming him.The man kicked a large barrel, causing Riley, who had lost consciousness, to come to his senses.The young man tried to open his eyes although they were rather weak.He heard Evan shouting in annoyance, “How dare they attack us when their war general is here? Aren't they afraid we'll kill him?”Evan turned to Riley whose eyes had opened with an annoyed expression.Evan walked over to Riley and crouched down, “Did you hear what I said, Wood? Your deputy war general attacked us.”As if to spite Riley, he continued, “He doesn't care about your fate at all. Maybe he wanted you killed here, General Wood.”Evan thought that after listening to what he had said, Riley would be outraged. Instead, Riley smiled wryly and said, “He finally did it.”Evan frowned in astonishment, “What? What do you mean?”Riley, feeling energized, turned to Evan and looked at the man without fear. The young man smiled instead, “He made it out of his shell.”Evan st

    Alen immediately stepped aside according to James' orders without arguing. He hid behind a large statue and waited for James' next instruction.He would not do anything and just stand there while watching James' actions.Because he knew the situation was very critical and James was trying to save him from enemy attacks that might hit him.James quickly attacked Evan who was surprised by the agility of the young man who he guessed was the deputy war general of the Ans De Lou Kingdom.“General, retreat first!” one of Evan's men shouted who saw Evan starting to get overwhelmed against James.Evan shook his head firmly, “I will not retreat.”“But ... General, he-”“You ... go get help, I'll stay here to hold him off,” Evan said who again had to repeatedly dodge James' relentless attacks.In fact, he had thought that James might never get tired at all because of his relentless attacks.“General, come on! This won't work. He's ... too strong,” the soldier said in a panicked tone.Evan said,

    However, before James listened to Riley's explanation, the young man who was seriously injured fainted.James, who initially looked shocked and annoyed at the same time, immediately became panicked, “Alen, why did he faint? Is the wound too severe?”Alen, who had begun tending to Riley's wounds, nodded, “We should take him ... back to the palace immediately, James.”“There's no equipment to treat him here,” Alen added.Ben immediately said, “We can take him to the palace right away. We've already won.”“But ... there's still-”“James, it's really all over. There's little we need to take care of, you can take Riley back to the palace. Anything else, let me and the others sort it out,” Reiner cut in quickly.James looked hesitant. It was not because he wanted to delay the treatment Riley should get, but he knew that there was only one fighter plane that could be used to return to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.“You … are you sure you can do it?” James asked with furrowed brows.His gaze did no

    It didn't take long for James Gardner to understand everything. In fact, afterward he saw Alen Smith greeting the woman and middle-aged man who were obviously a married couple. “Alen, Alen. You're … a medical staff, aren't you?” Cassandra asked the young man she had already met.“Riley will be fine. Isn't he?” Cassandra said frantically.Alen nodded, “You don't need to worry, Mrs. Mackenzie. We will do our best to save Riley.”James was still silent where he stood. Alen's words had explained everything. Alen, one of his best friends, also knew everything that happened. James closed his eyes for a few seconds and chose to hold himself still.The young man took hold of the edge of Riley's bed and helped him to push again. He then said softly, “Alen, hurry up a bit!”Alen was immediately surprised and looked guiltily at James as if he already knew what James was feeling. However, he did not have time to say anything and quickly went about his duties while asking people not to come

    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

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

    Ben didn't know how he should respond to his friend's words, but all he could do was go over to James and pat him gently on the back repeatedly in an attempt to calm him down."He's really not coming back, Ben.""No, he's not. It's just-""He wouldn't give that kind of message if he didn't mean what he said," James cut Ben off.Ben sighed softly, "James, what I meant was ... he probably doesn't want to be looked for anymore because he wants to go back to the palace himself."Ben's words made James, who had been so frantic, straighten his back. The war general then turned to Ben and responded, "What do you mean?"Ben wasn't sure what he was thinking but he said it anyway, "I think ... he just wants to go home alone."James paused, trying to digest his friend's words."Tell you what ... how about we just go back to the palace, who knows if Riley might actually be home," Ben explained.Ricky and Steven Drilon were silent as they listened to Ben's words.They also didn't have time to reac

    Ricky Drilon could only stare at the question.Oh, he often found himself in a confusing situation. But, he had never once felt depressed.Though he was also very often faced with a difficult choice. However, again, such things could be resolved well without any inner turmoil.However, one question asked by Riley Mackenzie put him in his most difficult phase. "Why are you doing nothing? Who are you going to obey? Me or General Gardner?" Riley repeated his question.Ricky swallowed harshly, getting more and more confused.His forehead was furrowed, clearly showing a great deal of indecision. He repeatedly smoothed his hair in just one minute. That made Riley smile strangely, "So, what? Who are you going to choose to obey?" Ricky bit his own teeth.How is this? What am I supposed to do? And why am I in this situation? Ricky thought.He looked indecisive, full of doubts. Riley himself looked very calm and relaxed at Ricky's confusion."Why aren't you answering me?" Riley asked with a

    Ricky didn't answer James' question immediately, instead he looked back at Steven, his brother. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that the young man was seeking Ricky's approval. Apparently, James Gardner noticed this habit and with an exasperated look on his face, he commented, "Come on, do you have to have a discussion before answering a simple question like the one I asked you earlier?" "Don't you have your own opinion?" James continued in a cold tone. Ricky and Steven's faces turned a perfect shade of red. Ben grimaced at James' assertiveness but he didn't make an interruption. Not wanting to make James even angrier, Ricky finally replied, "If it's an ordinary person, we can probably still go after him. However, if it's General Mackenzie, I ...." The young man did not dare to continue his words. From the look on his face he looked hesitant until James continued his words by saying, "You're not sure we can catch up with Riley?" Ricky stammered, "Absolutely, General Gar

    Benedict Arkitson instantly froze like a statue as if he dared not move his body at all. The thirty-four-year-old senior class one soldier was stunned without being able to issue any rebuttal to the junior soldier's explanation.He thought that he had no reason to doubt Lory Blackwell's words. Meanwhile, the strangely gloomy James Gardner looked the other way, as if reluctant to meet Lory Blackwell's eyes that were staring at him innocently. The young war general then said, "It's Riley. It must be him, it can't be wrong."Lory smiled with satisfaction and nodded with relief. The young man let out a long sigh after his statement was beyond doubt.However, he saw the sad look on James Gardner's face that the war general couldn't hide.He even heard James mutter softly, "It really is him. But ... he must be angry with me. If he wasn't angry, why would he leave?"That of course made Lory very surprised. James Gardner had always been known as a very rigid and cold person. He never imag

    Ben winked.Oh, he wasn't the least bit offended by James' words. Instead, he was amazed at how fast James was thinking."So, what should we do?" Ben asked, still with his stupid expression.James was getting more and more annoyed, but still replied in an exasperated tone, "Of course look for him.""But ... you said he doesn't want to see you, so why would you look for him?" Ben replied quickly."To ask him why he would act this stupidly," James replied stiffly.He immediately turned his head and looked straight at Lory who still looked stiff as a rock, "Show me where you last met Riley!""Next-""Take me there!" James cut in impatiently.Lory nodded with a bit of fear. "Come on, hurry up. We can't waste any time," James ordered the few people who were required to follow him. Before starting their journey in search of Riley Mackenzie's trail, James said to Lory, "Walk in front!""But, General ....""If you walk behind, it will slow us down." James explained patiently.Lory nodded an

    Lory instantly looked around and realized that he was being stared at by a dozen soldiers who were coincidentally listening to her conversation with Jensen Clown.Lory gritted his teeth, "What's wrong with you?"Jensen stammered as he realized that his voice had attracted all the soldiers around the area to them. He immediately grimaced as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "I'm just surprised."Lory rolled his eyes and continued walking.Meanwhile, Jensen was still following him. He spoke again, "You're just joking, right?""Of course you must be joking. How could you have met General Mackenzie. You-""I actually met him," Lory cut in out of sheer annoyance.He turned around and gave Jensen an exasperated look. "Why don't you believe me?""Are you sure? Then ... where is General Mackenzie right now?" Jensen asked further.With an unusually proud expression, Lory replied, "He is now going towards the river. He said he wanted to wash ...."Before he could finish his answ

  • The Strongest God of War   77. The War General Who Disappeared

    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.
