However, someone else said, "Hm, maybe he decided to back out earlier, but then he changed his mind and well ... they came late in the end."The rest of his friends responded with mocking laughter and Jason could only let out a long sigh."Hey, what are you looking at?" James suddenly said in a louder tone until the group members who were talking about Riley no longer dared to open their mouths."If you can't concentrate, you'd better raise the white flag and quit this group," James said in a sharp tone.The future soldiers were even less willing to move and just stood stiffly while listening to the chairman's words.James glanced at Riley who soon left the plane. He was relieved. He's finally here, this challenge wouldn't have been as much fun without him, James thought.Truly, the only opponent he thought was comparable to him was Riley and somehow Riley always made him a person who always tried hard.It's like saying it was Riley who gave him the spirit to get up. In fact, it was a
The budding soldiers of the group of four gave James a disapproving look, but then they heard Jason speak up, "Riley's the smart one, he's the leader. I bet he came up with this strategy too."James hated to admit that Jason's opinion was actually true, so he just cleared his throat and said, "Never mind, there's no need to think about what the other groups are capable of. Let's strategize something just as great. Let's regroup quickly and listen to me!"Having no other choice, they immediately turned their attention back to James.The other groups, intimidated by Riley and Justin's strategy, quickly decided to change their strategy so they wouldn't lose.In the forest itself, Riley ordered, "Split up now! And remember, if we get the target number of flags, stop immediately and do the second mission.""Ready, understood," the would-be soldiers replied in unison.They split up, with Alen sticking to Riley, who was paired with him. "How do we know we have 20 flags, Riley?" Alen asked wi
"Hey, I should have said that. You made a sudden turn," the man said angrily, still not getting up.Not to be outdone, Alen replied again, checking his hand that was a bit sore after the collision, "What am I supposed to signal? And how should I give a sign? This isn't a highway and I can't honk to warn you.""Don't you have a flashlight or something?" the group member was not to be outdone by Alen.Riley, not wanting this to become a big problem, immediately said, "Alen, stop it!""Craig, stop!" another group member said after he had picked up his dropped bag.Even though it wasn't very bright in this part of the area, Riley could still see the face of the young man who had just opened his mouth. It was Justin Donovan.Justin stared at the two people and looked surprised, just like Riley, who hadn't expected their paths to cross."Oh ... Riley Wood." Justin said with a small smile.Riley was stunned, "You know me?"Justin chuckled, "How could I not? You're ... very famous. There's no
Alen replied, "We saw it first. You guys-""But we were the first to arrive, so you can't call us sneaky," the tall young man replied, holding back an annoying smile.Alen was about to reply, but Riley beat him to it, saying, "Let's go somewhere else!""Riley, come on!" Alen said with a pitiful look on his face, knowing that Riley was about to give in again."Alen, come on!" Riley said in a tone that didn't seem to want to be contradicted.With that, Alen turned and followed Riley away. At the same time as they ran, the insidious herd laughed at them.Alen gritted his teeth, "Look, they're laughing at us.""I don't care," Riley replied as he ran. He kept checking his surroundings."But I do care, I don't want us to be mocked and belittled like this, Riley," Alen replied irritated.Riley sighed, "Then what do you want us to do? Fight with them? Even though we don't know if there is a flag or not? Hell, Alen. We're just wasting time.""Better to search another area. Remember, we're racin
"Follow me and don't ask too many questions," Jason replied quickly, not wanting to waste any more time.Their group, group four, had collected 16 flags, which meant they still had to find the other four. He knew that James hated to lose, and even though he was so upset that James, the leader of his group, had left them without saying anything, Jason couldn't protest. It was as if he could understand James' actions.While they were searching for the flags, they suddenly heard another announcement that group two had successfully completed the first mission and were the first group to start the second mission."Oh damn it! Why are they so fast?" one of the members of Group Four complained."They have a better strategy. Oh, I'm annoyed that we have to be led by Gardner," another friend continued, now irritably picking up rocks.The first person to comment said, "Exactly. If we had Riley Wood or Justin Donovan, we'd be safe."Jason, who was checking the water section of the pool, immediat
"Yes, they found it." Riley quickly picked up Alen's pin again and looked at the clue in the form of a floor plan of the food warehouse that appeared a few seconds later. Alen also looked at the small pin with an astonished look, "Wow! This is amazing!"Riley nodded in agreement, truly pleased with the results they had achieved this time. At the same time, their group's name had also been announced as one of the groups that had found the food warehouse. "Come on, let's go to the camp! You must be thirsty and hungry, right?" Riley said with a faint smile.Alen nodded enthusiastically, "Of course. I just drank a few drops of water and ate some bread. How am I not hungry?"Riley chuckled softly and ran quickly around, looking at the floor plan so they wouldn't get lost when they found the food warehouse.On their way, they passed some other groups and it was obvious that some of them were looking at them with annoyance.Suddenly Alen laughed and Riley turned to him, still running, "What
"Gotcha," Alen said when he managed to pull the hand of one of the five would-be soldiers. Unfortunately, the soldier didn't give up easily and put up a fierce fight. Alen tried to bind his arms, but it turned out that the prospective soldier with the purple flag still managed to escape. Then he ran quickly."Oh, no. I won't let you go," Alen said as he ran after her.Meanwhile, Riley had already managed to knock down a young man with an oval face and a body much shorter than his own. He immediately grabbed both of his opponent's hands, preventing him from moving."Let go of me, damn it!" the opponent cursed, but Riley ignored him and with quick movements bound the hands of the desperately rebelling future soldier."Damn it, what are you doing?" the eyes of the soldier, who wore a ferret pin as his insignia, bulged perfectly.Riley simply said, "Calm down, I just need a few seconds."And after turning the opponent around, Riley saw the silver pin. "No," the would-be warrior struggled
Riley didn't answer and instead squatted down to examine Warren's wound. As soon as Riley held Warren's leg, which was still dripping with blood, Warren immediately grimaced, "Oh, are you adding to my misery?"Again, Riley didn't respond to his friend's words and instead turned to Dean, their friend who was with Warren, "Dean, how did this happen?"Dean sighed and began to tell the story, "We just came from the food warehouse and when we were about to catch up with you guys, some people attacked us and tried to take my pin. Warren tried to stop them and was successful. Well, unfortunately one of them had a knife and attacked Warren aggressively."Alen was gaping. "This is crazy! He wasn't the only one with a knife, Riley had one too. But ... he never used it to attack other future soldiers."Warren said, "But ... they ran away in the end, you cowards!"The young man laughed crisply, but fell silent when Riley gave him a sharp look. "Why? It's their fault, Riley. Not me."Riley sighed,
"That’s impossible," Ben said in a firm tone.Reiner also responded, "They couldn't have killed Riley."Ben added, "If they killed Riley, I'm sure they'd have announced it. Or ... at least they would have done something like confuse us with Riley's whereabouts."Seeing James looking frustrated, Reiner said again, "He must be alive. It's just that we haven't found him yet.""That’s right. He was probably transferred to their secret place," Ben said.James' face relaxed more than before when he heard the two friends' soothing words. He was a little more relieved.James then nodded his head, "Then we should find out more.""Yes, we will. Don't worry!" Reiner said.Ben said with a confident tone, "We will definitely find Riley, James."James chose to believe and returned to search more thoroughly. Unfortunately, although the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had interrogated the prisoners of Mecco Kingdom, they still could not find a single clue regarding Riley's whereabouts.In addition, K
Reiner frowned, "That's impossible. Is he lying?"James shook his head firmly, "No way.""How can you believe her so easily?" Reiner asked while still inspecting the area.James sighed softly, "I have never met an Ans De Lou soldier who dared to lie to me."Reiner instantly turned his head and looked at his friend without blinking.Two seconds later he nodded in agreement, "Oh, you're right. How could anyone dare to deal with you?"James waved his hand.He looked up and widened his eyes once he got something. He quickly asked Reiner to come closer to him."What's up there?" Reiner asked as James looked up.However, James did not answer Reiner's question and instead stood on tiptoe and picked up a small object attached to the wall."What is it?" Reiner asked with a curious expression.James examined the object and immediately cursed, "BASTARD!"Reiner was wide-eyed in shock. James' swearing really sounded full of emotion and his tone of voice was almost like someone who was shouting.
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
