George smiled mysteriously in response to his friend's remark. "Come here, I have a good plan." Bryan approached George and the tall, well-built and handsome man whispered something to Bryan. As soon as he heard George's plan, Bryan frowned. But a moment later he smiled too, raised his glass and seemed to invite his friend to make a toast. "To our success." "Of course, we will," George said with confidence. On the other hand, Bill had already intended to return to the palace soon and was now packing up some of his belongings. Cassandra, who was just watching, asked, "When are you coming back here?" "It won't be long," Bill replied. "How many days does the palace staff have for holiday?" Bill immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to his wife, "I don't know, but I think I can apply for a holiday if I complete one task." Cassandra raised her right eyebrow, "Don't do that! You have to work really hard so that your job can stay with you." Bill quickly sat beside hi
The man who was being questioned by Bill laughed even more, making Bill unable to restrain himself. Bill hit the man again but now with full force. His teeth were knocked out and Bill didn't care, he pulled his neck again even though the man's mouth was full of blood. "If that bomb goes off and kills innocent people, I swear I'll look for you even in the grave!" Bill threatened and he took the time to kick the man's stomach mercilessly. Bill closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. "Pull yourself together, Bill! Let's think!" He tapped his finger on the windscreen. "Let's think one more time! Where do you think your enemy has placed the bomb?" He glanced at his watch and realized he was running out of time. He had only two minutes and thirty-six seconds left. He also glanced at Andrew Reece's unconscious body and it was clear that waking up the trusted bodyguard would be a waste of time. "Come on, BIll! Think it more! You were once an invincible War General. How could
The two men, Jody Gardner and William Mackenzie, began to perform their respective duties. As the two of them were just returning to duty, they accidentally met at a spot where there were not many other guards. "What did you just do from the control room, Andrew?" "None of your business!" Andrew replied with no intention of looking at Steven. Steven sneered, "Oh, you must be doing-" "What did you just do from the guard room?" Andrew asked back as he put his mobile phone in his pocket. "That's definitely none of your business," Steven replied haughtily. Andrew would have easily guessed it but he chose not to say what he was thinking. "Well, it's better to stay out of other people's business," Andrew replied and he was about to walk away. However, he could hear Steven saying, "Don't be rash! Be careful, Reece! You have to be smart in choosing the people you serve." Andrew stopped walking and turned round and looked at Steven sarcastically. "What do you mean?" Steven smiled mock
"So, what should I do now, General?" Steven asked after seeing the general's laughter stop. Jody Gardner calmly said, "Leave it alone for now, Stev." "You mean we don't need to investigate Bill Stewart anymore, General?" Steven was astonished by Jody's sudden change of attitude. For Jody Gardner's trusted subordinate, the man in front of him had changed his plans too quickly. "Yes. Leave it for the time being. Don't do anything." "But, General. What if he-" "Calm down, the longer you watch him, the more careful he'll be. So, it's better to just wait for him to let his guard down," Jody said quickly. Steven was silent, trying to understand the general's decision. After thinking more deeply, he finally concluded, "You intend to make Bill Stewart reveal his own secret?" Jody smiled broadly, seemingly satisfied that Steven knew what he was thinking. "That's my man." Steven smiled back, "Do you still suspect that Bill Stewart has a deal with General Mackenzie?" Jody's smile disa
Bill then got ready to shoot at another target. So perfectly did he manage to hit the heart of the mannequin that Bryan gasped when he saw the impossible result. But he tried to compose himself and fire again. As expected, he lost to Bill again. "Second question. Who did you meet when you were outside the palace?" Bill asked casually. This time Bryan began to understand the reason why Bill was asking one question after another. With fear beginning to choke his neck, Bryan answered, "George Wood, War Advisor." Bill then smiled with satisfaction at the honest answer and went back to shooting at the mannequin again. Bryan couldn't contain his fear any longer. He didn't even dare to lift his gun to shoot at the mannequin. Until Bill had to say quietly, "Your turn, Bryan." But Bryan still didn't move and Bill was forced to help him by holding his shoulder and slowly lifting Bryan's gun. "Fire now!" Bill said in a commanding tone that was so horrifying it sounded in Bryan's ears. Th
"Very well, War Advisor," Bryan replied in the end because he certainly didn't want to lose his life that was so precious to him. Bill was just about to order the man to do something but he had to postpone it because Andrew interrupted him by entering the room. "Reece, didn't I tell you not to come in?" Bill said. Andrew bowed his head and said, "Mercy, War Advisor. But a messenger from King Keannu has just come here and delivered a message from the king in the form of a dinner invitation for you." Bill was a little disappointed not to be able to punish Bryan right away. But the king's business couldn't be delayed any longer, so he let Bryan go for the time being. After Bryan left the training center, Bill quickly got ready to attend the dinner. "Who was invited by the king?" Bill asked. "Just you and Jody Gardner, General." Bill didn't look surprised at all but just a little curious. He quickly made his way to the main building to have dinner with the king. Bill crossed path
"Yes, General Gardner." Keannu Wellington turned to Bill who did not move when he heard the king's statement. Meanwhile, Jody Gardner immediately protested, "You can't have two War Generals in one kingdom, Your Majesty." "Why I can't, General Gardner? It's under such urgent circumstances, do you expect me to do nothing and just send you to one of the kingdoms? Then, what if there is a simultaneous war?" Keannu replied with a sharp glare at the war general. Jody Gardner seemed to know that his king had a decision that could not be overturned, but he still wanted to try to thwart that decision, "Your Majesty, they can't attack at the same time because they must have different strategies." "You can't guarantee that, General Gardner. You know that during your tenure as a War General, there is not a single certainty as to when they will attack," Keannu said. Jody Gardner felt his hopes had been dashed, but then he heard Bill chime in after a moment of silence, "If it must be done, then
"Cassie can wait for me," Bill replied. It was actually hard for him to leave Cassandra any longer, but considering his duty, of course he couldn't just ignore this obligation. In his hands, there were the lives of millions of citizens that could be threatened if he failed to fight the enemies of the Ans De Lou Kingdom. "I will order some trusted bodyguards to protect Mistress Cassandra while you are on the battlefield, General," Andrew said. Bill nodded, finding it very helpful. "You can always calm me down, Reece." "It is my duty, General." The two men then fell silent for a few moments, before Andrew asked again, "General, are you still going to hide your true identity even after getting your title back?" "Yes." Before Andrew could ask again, Bill interrupted him, "You should know why." "The assassin, General?" "Yes. I have to make sure first, before I reveal my identity. Until I do, let people think that William Mackenzie has disappeared and no one knows where he is." "
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
