"You're right, maybe if we knew your reasons and what they wanted, we wouldn't have to go to war," Bill replied so casually.

Jody immediately threw his darts and said, "Don't tell me that you're afraid to make a war strategy for us this time. Can't you actually make a strategy until you want to make peace?"

Bill shook his head. It seemed like he had to be more restrained in order not to be provoked by anger when he was with Jody Gardner.

"General, war is the last resort when both parties can't work together to make peace or perhaps the conflict has become too severe that the most appropriate way is by."

Jody took offence to Bill's words but before he could protest, Bill had already said again, "If the conflict underlying a war is not too strong, the best way is to negotiate to make an agreement between the two sides. Then, if there is no good agreement or the two kingdoms prefer to go to war then we go to war."

"Damn it. You think I don't know about that?" Jody retorted completely

    "That's right, Your Honour. Once again I apologize for my rudeness but it's for our own good," Bill said, looking earnest and calm. "Good?" Keannu repeated still trying to process Bill's explanation. Bill nodded, "Yes, Your Honour. You can either have General Gardner decide everything or you can keep me and have him out." Keannu's head felt as if a bomb had exploded in his head. He really did not understand. He did not expect the election between the two people who were so important to him to have started now. He thought it would only happen in the future. In fact, it was something he had to face earlier. "Your Honour," Bill called out. Keannu sighed wearily, "General, this was not a very easy decision. You chose the position yourself and now you're making me have to choose. If this is the case, why didn't you replace Jody Gardner as War General a long time ago?" Bill replied still with his head slightly bowed in deference to the king, "Your Majesty, if someone from among the c

    "War Advisor? Seizing my position? Seriously. How could there be such a thing here?" Jody replied with an awkward laugh. The man then continued his words with a rather serious look on his face. "You're not making any sense, Dorothy. Why should I be afraid of a new person like him?" Jody said who was now looking the other way, not wanting to look at Dorothy. Dorothy Winks of course laughed at that, "Me? Unreasonable? If you're really not afraid of your position being taken by him, shouldn't you be annoyed that you now have to think of a war strategy by yourself?" Jody Gardner could no longer stand his lover's offensive words. "Enough! I don't want to talk about it. He's just a bit like General Mackenzie. It doesn't matter if I hate him. I don't have to explain my reasons to you, do I?" Annoyed, Dorothy chose to leave her lover in exasperation while grumbling once on the way. She did not know why her lover had not forgotten the shadow of the great general. It was true that no on

    "Hm. No way, I'm going home," Cassandra said firmly, looking unfazed. Peter shook his head in disbelief, "Women! So easily swayed!" "Good decision, Cassie," Christopher said with a bright smile. "We'll get your new room ready," George said with a smile that was just as bright as Christopher Wood's. Christopher then said, "Of course, I'm pretty sure you're going home. Why put up with that vague Bill? Just get your divorce taken care of, Cassie!" "Do you want me to take care of it, Cassie?" George offered, looking happy to do it for his sister. "Besides, it's a very dangerous job, we don't know what might happen in the future," Shirley said. Peter snorted loudly, "Come on, Cassie. Do you believe what these guys are saying?" Peter pointed at the three people with disgust. His outlook had completely changed and he now didn't seem to be on the side of Bill's haters. "Peter, what are you saying?" Shirley said, unable to understand her husband's behaviour. Peter rolled his eyes lazi

    Bill, of course, had also calculated that this would happen, so he calmly replied, "Yes, General. I am willing to resign from this palace if I lose the war with the Mondega Kingdom." Inwardly, Jody Gardner laughed at Bill's foolishness. On the outside, however, he was acting like a cool general. "Alright, I have your word. If you break them, I will not hesitate to force you to leave this palace. Do you understand?" "Understood, General Gardner." "Good," Jody replied. He got ready to turn around, but she was unexpectedly held back by Bill. "But what if I win, General Gardner?" Jody sighed. Really? He was so arrogant to say that he could win? Doesn't he know the situation is dangerous right now? A cold war would be far worse than an open war. Did he not realize that at all? Jody wondered. "Are you sure you can win?" Jody said with a smirk, as if challenging Bill. Bill smiled and replied, "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have come forward, General Gardner." Jody laughed, unable t

    "Paralyse it!" Bill said. In the next second, there was a fierce fight between the two sides. Both sides fought each other with their bare hands. Bill could easily conclude that the Mondega Kingdom did not want to fight with them. At least they wouldn't kill each other this time, that was Bill's guess. This was because the troops of the kingdom that had several tourist areas in the area near the mountains did not carry weapons even though they were an armour supply country for various kingdoms. Nevertheless, it seemed that the leader of the royal army bearing the white rabbit seemed to want to test the skills of some of the bodyguards brought by Bill. However, Bill was not deterred at all. The man even managed to knock down some of the royal troops in just a short time. The enemy was unable to move freely as their attacks were always preceded by Bill. "How can he be that fast?" one of the soldiers muttered while standing next to a large, well-built man who appeared to be the

    Bill glared at him in shock. "General Cleve, what are you doing?" Bill looked around him and now the royal troops were staring at them with looks of surprise and shock. "I ... it's me, Eland Cleve. The boy you saved ten years ago. General Mackenzie, have you forgotten me?" Eland asked with a questioning look. Bill stepped back, his expression full of shock. "You know who I am?" Eland nodded with certainty, not looking the least bit hesitant. "How'd you know about me?" Bill asked in confusion. As far as he could remember, few people actually knew their identity. And certainly the person who recognized him was certainly someone from his own kingdom, not from another kingdom. However, this person who served as the highest troop leader in the Mondega Kingdom could recognize him and even claimed to have been saved. How could that be possible? He himself had just set foot into the land of the greatest weapon maker in the European region for the first time. Then, how did that ma

    "See you next time, young man," Bill said. "But, sir. Your hand-" "Uh, this little wound? It's not a problem. It's nothing for a man to have a wound on his body, young man," Bill said. Teenage Eland stared questioningly. Bill smiled gently and then declared, "A wound can be likened to a sign of effort or struggle. So, isn't it cool that a man has this kind of mark?" Eland was stunned. He was very amazed with those words. He never expected to hear such a thing. "A man without a wound is a man who never fought, young man," Bill said. The gallant soldier then flashed Eland a warm smile just before he left him alone there. When he was only a few metres away, he turned around and waved his hand once more, "Be a strong soldier, young man!" "Yes, sir," Eland replied with a shout. "I will be a strong man, I promise," Eland added. Bill then turned around and continued walking. Eland stared at the sturdy back of his saviour who was walking away until he was no longer visible to his e

    "Of course, General. You may do everything," Eland replied. The great general smiled. "General Cleve, you know ... I might misinterpret your kindness. Do you not mind?" "Not at all, General. My life belongs to you," Eland said. William Mackenzie suddenly said, "Your life is your own. I did not ask for it." "General," Eland said, startled. "Oh, let's put it this way. I ask only one thing of you," Bill said. Eland immediately got ready to receive orders. "Make peace with my kingdom and become an ally of my kingdom. Can you do that?" Bill asked. Eland Cleve was speechless with disbelief. He was lost for words for a moment and only regained his speech. "Is that all, General?" "Yes." Eland didn't understand, "Are you sure this is all, General?" "Yes. I just need that," Bill said. Eland looked down. With his head slightly bowed, the young man said, "Yes, General. I will convey this to the king." Bill nodded happily, "Will your king listen to you?" "I will do my best, General,"

    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

    "Tell me, so I can do what I should, Your Royal Highness," James added.Xylan returned the war general's gaze with a look that looked very serious. The young man who had originally made one of the major decisions finally opened his mouth, "It has to do with ... the determination of the new palace officials after I take office as king."James was silent for a moment, looking a little surprised. It was only natural that Xylan Wellington had been thinking about his future reign. However, he didn't think it was the right time.His father hadn't even been buried yet. Why was he already thinking of something else? Isn't he still grieving? James thought.Xylan cleared his throat, causing James to give him a strange look. Not wanting James to think strangely about him or even misunderstand him, Xylan hurriedly explained, "General Gardner, it's not what you're thinking."James did not respond immediately and instead waited for Xylan's further explanation.Xylan himself was smart enough to q

    However, before James Gardner could think further about it, Monica Wilhelm, the queen who had just lost her husband said, "Never mind, there's no need to prolong it anymore."Afterward, Monica turned her body around and faced the palace officials who were still in the palace. She sighed softly before saying, "As I wanted earlier, are you willing to let us mourn the passing of your king before we organize a funeral ceremony for him?"Without hesitation, all the palace officials unanimously replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."One by one, the palace officials left the king's residence area, leaving only the special soldiers protecting the king, queen, princess and crown prince.Meanwhile, some of James Gardner's men also remained in the area as per James' orders."General Gardner, please help," Monica said.James nodded and immediately did his duty as the kingdom's war general to prepare all the necessities used for security.

    "Uh, if you're not ready to give up that important position, shouldn't you be careful when you speak, Prime Minister? Remember, what you're talking about is not appropriate," James said in a sharp tone.Anyone who heard James' threatening voice would surely be afraid. James waited but he was sure that his threat would be effective making that prime minister afraid of him.And unexpectedly, James Gardner's threat succeeded in silencing old Philip. Philip no longer dared to speak and remained silent. However, his resentful gaze could still be seen by James.Of course, you must be very upset with me, Prime Minister. However, you certainly don't want to lose your position just because of that ridiculous accusation, James thought.This made Monica Wilhelm and her two children feel a little calmer."Y-Your Majesty, I... I ...." Philip tried to speak again, but his nervousness was so obvious that James knew the old man would not dare to say anything nonsense again. James immediately respon

    Philip Crawford coughed as he heard James Gardner's words.James raised his right eyebrow, seemingly waiting for Philip's explanation.Philip cleared his throat and replied without daring to look at James, "I am not the one accusing you, General Gardner. It's just that ... the entire population of the Ans De Lou Kingdom is talking about this. Let's just say I'm just relaying what they're thinking."James laughed softly, making Philip instantly turn to him. Likewise, Monica and her two children looked surprised at the war general's reaction."W-what's so funny about what I said that you're laughing, General Gardner?" Philip said in an offended tone.James stopped his laughter and sighed softly before saying, "There's nothing funny. It's just that I find you very cowardly, Prime Minister.""Cowardly? What do you mean, General?" Philip widened his eyes, clearly taking offense."That's right. Of course you're just a coward. You're acting on behalf of the people's opinions, when it was you

  • The Strongest God of War   33. The Cause

    "So, you can give us time to mourn our family members, right? You have not forgotten that Keannu Wellington was not only the king of this country, but he was the head of our family. He is my husband, the father of my two children and a grandfather to my grandson," Monica said in a flat but firm tone.The queen's words apparently succeeded in making the palace officials look at each other and finally fell silent.Some of them seemed to take a few steps back as if they really didn't want to disturb members of the royal family anymore. James Gardner himself smiled to see the palace officials, some of whom were important ministers, not moving in front of the queen. James could not help but be impressed by the queen's ability to make people obey her orders. It was because according to James it was very rare.Before he gave up his post as a deputy general of war, he had met so many queens from various kingdoms around the world. However, not many queens had authority. Monica Wellington wa

    Since James had not moved from where he was standing and was instead as still as a statue, Rowena immediately glanced at Xylan.Xylan of course understood her sister's meaning so she quickly said, "General Gardner, are ... are you alright?"James snapped out of his reverie and nodded at Xylan. With confusion ruling his mind, he still stepped into the king's room.Once he entered the area for the first time, James could see the body of the king of Ans De Lou Kingdom lying stiffly on the luxurious bed. He could only exhale softly at the sight of the person who had been responsible for the complicated relationship between his father and Riley's father. As a result of the dead king's mistake, his relationship with Riley was strained.However, the king had apologized to him and he had forgiven all his mistakes so there was no anger or resentment in James' heart.Instead, he was saddened by the loss of Keannu Wellington.
