"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,"
Keannu instantly threw an astonished look with both thick eyebrows drawn together. Jody Gardner immediately realised the small mistake he had made and hurriedly corrected, "Uh, I mean. It feels impossible. I don't believe in the kingdom. They must have done something." The look on the king's face returned to normal. "We don't know for sure yet, General." "But, Your Majesty. The Mondega Kingdom clearly seems to be pulling this trick to try and lure us out," Jody said, still trying to keep his king's mind off the matter. "They wouldn't dare face ... our War Advisor." Keannu almost said the word "General" again. However, he quickly controlled his usually sharp tongue. "You seem so confident in Bill Stewart's abilities. But, I believe the Mondega Kingdom is using Bill Stewart. Prisoner of war. That's for sure," Jody said. Keannu shook his head in disbelief, "He won't be easy to defeat, General Gardner." "What if the kingdom attacks us suddenly?" Jody said. "As you said, although
Eland Cleve replied casually, "I just spoke to him and he said that you are one of the people who know his true face." Andrew Reece was stunned, his eyes widened to perfection. The glass he was carrying almost slipped out of his hand if he wasn't careful. He immediately glanced to his right and left, scrutinising warily, fearing that someone might be listening in on their conversation. He took a deep gulp of saliva, calmed himself down and tried to return to normal behaviour. Eland Cleve was watching closely and could easily tell that Andrew Reece was both surprised and nervous. "He told you, General?" Andrew asked at last. He even had trouble closing his mouth again and began to think more broadly. He now understood the reason why Eland Cleve seemed to get along so well with the major general. That man apparently already knew the general. But how could that be? Had William Mackenzie revealed his own identity in front of this man who was their enemy before finally choosing to m
Oh, now Eland understood it immediately. Jody Gardner clearly disliked his saviour god. That much was very clear when he saw the look of dislike in Jody Gardner's eyes when they discussed about Bill Jody Gardner looked like he did not try to hide it at all, he just show it without any doubts. "He's great. And, that greatness sometimes doesn't depend on whether or not one has been in the field for a long time. I'm sure you would agree with that, General Gardner," Eland said, adding a friendly smile to the end of his sentence. Jody Gardner no longer bothered about it afterwards and chose to keep his emotions in check. He went home with a mind filled with extreme annoyance because again he had lost face. This time, unmitigatedly, his name was not mentioned in the Ans De Lou Kingdom when they returned. Only Bill was honoured by everyone, including the king, so he didn't participate in the big celebration at the palace. However, when the celebration had only been going on for two hou
"Cassie, listen. You ... can tell me anything!" Bill said, trying to get his wife to reveal what she was going through. At first, Cassandra looked very reluctant and seemed uncomfortable. However, after Bill patiently waited for her and tried to calm her down, Cassandra finally began to slowly open up to her husband. "I ... got fired, Bill. Imagine that! You know how much I love that job," Cassandra sobbed again. "What was the reason?" Bill's brow furrowed, he knew Cassandra was such a disciplined worker, it was impossible for his wife to make a mistake. "I don't want to discuss. It's useless," Cassandra said, looking so lazy. Bill let out a long sigh. He knew very well how Cassandra Wood loved her work and was always proud of it endlessly. Losing something she loved so much must have been very hard for Cassandra. "I'm unemployed now, Bill." "That's no problem," Bill replied calmly. "How can you be so calm, Bill? How can we afford this much rent? You-" "Wait a minute, why are
James sighed softly, it was clear that the soldier knew nothing about the latest situation outside."Yes, I'm back. I wasn't captured by them," James explained as he helped the soldier to lean against the wall.James glanced at his friend who looked very weak, but didn't dare to touch him as his wounds looked much worse.James examined the soldier's wound whose shirt had been torn off briefly and knew immediately that the soldier must have been severely tortured.He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger."Then ... did we win, Deputy War General?" the class two soldier asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.James nodded, "Yes, we won.""R-really, Vice General of War? We won? I'm not dreaming, am I?" the soldier asked with tears on the verge of falling.James looked at the soldier with a sad gaze.The torture he received must have frustrated the soldier for his emotions to become so unstable."You're
Xylan immediately realized that his father wouldn't just let him go.He knew that Keannu Wellington wasn't in the best of shape, but his father was still thinking things through carefully.Therefore, Xylan who had never lied and would never want to lie, especially to his father replied, "Yes, Father. He is not a palace staff who has been in the palace for a long time. In fact, he doesn't even have any relationships with other palace officials."Keannu instantly fell silent.Xylan quickly composed words and continued, "But ... I can guarantee that he will do his duty well. You will see that my choice will not be wrong."Keannu let out a long breath.Xylan was beginning to worry.And after a long silence, Keannu finally looked back at his son and said, "Alright."Keannu's one-word statement confused Xylan so he asked again, "Alroght? What do you mean, Father?"Keannu smiled gently, "You can choose him."
Xylan could only remain silent without being able to say a word.Keannu sighed softly. He looked at his son who was still so shocked.The old man said hoarsely, "I know you're not ready yet, but ... I believe you're capable of leading this country."Xylan lifted his head and looked at his father's pale face that looked so very weak.Xyan instantly wanted to curse himself. How could he think so weakly? He may be young, but he was not ignorant. Over the years he had learned various things, including about the government system. His father had also taught him about many things to prepare him as his successor.Then, after all that had happened, how could he be hesitant like that?Moreover, his father's condition no longer allowed him to rule the country. Keannu Wellington was no longer young. He had experienced a great deal of health problems.Keannu's time as a king was up. The old man should spend his old age living a much more relaxed life.So, as his son, he naturally had to suppor
James didn't have to wait long to connect with Josh Cleve.Once connected, before James could speak, he heard Josh say, "I've got it, General Gardner."James didn't have time to reply, but Josh was already speaking quickly, "Thank you, General Gardner. This is all because of you.""If it wasn't for your strategy, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the sea area," Josh continued, sounding like someone who was holding back tears.He didn't even dare to look directly through the screen at James.James smiled at Josh and chuckled, "Gosh, are you going to cry?"Josh snorted but everyone could see that Josh was really very moved. All the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had known all the efforts that Josh Cleve had made to improve his sea warrior skills. However, he had not been successful.However, after James Gardner became his leader, he was able to bring victory to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.With so much gratitude Josh said again, "It's all thanks to you, General."James instantly shook hi
A class two soldier of James' age replied, "Maybe he was practicing during his long break."Ben shook his head, "I'm not sure.""You mean, Senior Ben?" Jason Hoult asked with a facial expression full of confusion.Ben smiled faintly.Without turning his head towards Jason, the man who had long been a first-class soldier replied, "There's no time for that. He's very busy managing his business.""What business, Senior Ben?" Jason asked back, looking both surprised and curious. Ben almost tapped his forehead from talking too much."Uh, what are we doing? Isn't it time to help him? Come on, Jason. Get back to your position!" Ben ordered.Jason was forced to move away from the area in disappointment. Uh, he was really very curious about the story of James Gardner.He used to feud with the young man who always had a cold impression, but he could finally understand James' attitude.James always had an annoying expression on his face, but the young man wasn't actually an annoying man. In fac
Kurt Zys smiled mockingly, "Thank you?"He then spat to the side and said again, "Are you dreaming? Do you think that by capturing us, you think your army will win over our army?"Kurt laughed dismissively. "In case you forgot ... I'll remind you, we ... have an important person from your kingdom.""That's right, your war general is in our hands. What can you do with your new war general? What can he do?" a soldier sitting beside Kurt said in an annoying tone.Kurt flashed his mocking smile again to irritate Justin.Justin raised his right eyebrow and immediately realized that there was no way he could get what he wanted from the enemy soldiers. The young man sighed softly. He felt that talking to the enemy soldiers was pointless so he simply replied, "Well, since you can only belittle us, it would be much better if we didn't hear your voice."Kurt frowned, looking somewhat confused.However, it wasn't long before he heard Justin command, "Shut them all up! Don't let even one of them
Some people began to look worriedly at their war general who had not moved an inch."What the hell is going on?""Why is General Gardner just sitting there?" a class three soldier asked his fellow soldier.The soldier standing right next to him replied, "I don't know. It looks like General Gardner is confused.""What? Why is he confused? Does that mean he's going to ... retreat?"A class two soldier who heard those words instantly turned to the class three soldier as he raised his visor, "What did you just say, huh? You think General Gardner is a coward?""No-no ... so, Senior. But ... why didn't he act immediately? We're already in enemy territory," the soldier replied, who initially seemed to doubt his general stammeringly.The class two soldier who defended James replied, "Perhaps General Gardner is adjusting himself. He hasn't fought in a long time so he might need time to readjust."Another also nodded in agreement and quickly responded, "Right. He is ... one of those great warrio
Upon hearing the words of Xylan Wellington, who was the crown prince of Ans De Lou Kingdom, Gary Davis could only stare with a dumbfounded expression at the person he had served for two years."Why?" Xylan said again as he caught Gary's expression which he found strange in his eyes.His forehead wrinkled in confusion, "Do you ... not like it, Gary?"Gary winked then quickly shook his head, "Of course I do, Your Highness. But ....""But, why?" Xylan asked with a questioning look on his face."Are you really serious, Your Highness?" Gary ventured to ask.Xylan took offense, "What do you mean? I am a crown prince and I will be the king of this country in the not too distant future."He snorted harshly then continued as he glared irritably at his personal assistant who had dared to doubt his words, "How could I dare to play with my words?"Gary grimaced, realizing that Xylan was upset with him. The young man hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I beg forgiveness for my mistake, Your Hig
Gary was speechless. too shocked by the future king of Ans De Lou Kingdom's statement.However, when he was able to compose himself, he said, "Your Highness, you mean to make General Gardner the War General forever?"Xylan smiled faintly, "You finally understand what I mean."Gary cleared his throat softly, disguising his nervousness, "Then, what about young General Mackenzie, Your Highness?"Xylan sighed.He turned his gaze the other way and stared at a large portrait of himself and his family members on the large wall."Actually ... my sister always protested when my brother-in-law was sent to the battlefield. So, I think Rowena would be very happy if her husband could be relieved of his duties as a war general," Xylan explained.Gary was even more confused. He hadn't expected that Xylan had thought about it more deeply.In fact, he then heard the crown prince continue, "Besides, with Riley free from the heavy duties of the palace, he will be able to stay near his wife and son.""Th
