With fury, Howard replied, "No need. Without you moving me, I'll get out of this army myself." Steven laughed mockingly, "Good then. Turns out you're pretty self aware too." "Go away!" Steven shouted. Howard immediately left the place and moved towards the War building and said his wish. With open arms, Andrew Reece accepted the presence of the extra troops. He was immediately directed to meet Bill Stewart who quickly gave him directions. This was based on their limited time. They had no more time to train more. In total, Bill had 239 troops, while Jody had 2109. Bill took Andrew as his deputy, while Steven was chosen as Jody's deputy. On the day of departure, the king of Ans De Lou Kingdom was seen giving a short speech, "War Generals, Jody Gardner and Bill Stewart. We await your return in one piece." The two War Generals knelt and saluted solemnly before finally moving to leave the kingdom in a fighter jet. Jody Gardner's troops departed for the Kingdom of Hellfric, while Wi
Andrio Hellfric, who initially looked calm, began to feel disturbed by Jody Gardner's words. His high confidence in being able to defeat Jody Gardner began to decline drastically. However, apparently this was not felt by Andrio's men. One of his men walked over to the war general and whispered, "General, it's just a trick of his to make you doubt." "Believe me, it's better to kill him now than for us to be destroyed." "That's right, General. This is a very good opportunity to kill him. With their leader killed, their mentality will surely fall and they will be defeated easily, General." Andrio was still silent, not making a decision. The subordinate said again, "General, trust me! Jody Gardner is known to be cold-mouthed. Everything he says is a trap. After all, we can also keep it a secret, right? We can kill him but there's no need to say or announce it. Just let his men confuse themselves." Andrio raised an eyebrow, intrigued by that last idea. However, before he could do wh
Bill felt that the question really sounded funny and strange to his ears. How could he be impersonating himself? However, he realized that everyone did not understand his identity. He casually replied, "Let's just say that." "You're really imitating him? What's the reason?" James Sealand asked as he was still very curious about the person he thought was so unique. Bill turned his head, "Can I ask you a question first?" "Yes," James replied. "You speak as if you really know him. So, what do you think of General Mackenzie?" James hesitated. He finally spoke honestly, "I ... don't know him. I've only heard about him. After all, how could one not know about the strongest war general the Ans De Lou Kingdom has? I'm sure everyone knows of that great figure." "He's a general who seems to only live once. I mean, there's no way anyone can match him. Aside from being agile and having great abilities, I heard that he has a very compassionate nature towards the weak. He never harmed civil
"Your Majesty, do we need to prepare a welcoming ceremony?" Edric Gustav asked. Upon hearing the suggestion, Keannu quickly refused with a firm, "No." Everyone in the palace hall fell silent, slightly surprised by their king's rather strange reaction. Amanda Clark who was sitting in the staff section of the palace on the right was also looking at her king with a puzzled look. Seeing the sudden silence, Keannu Wellington immediately explained further, "You know very well we are at war with two kingdoms. We sent our two War Generals there. Although one of them won the war, the other was taken captive. How is it appropriate for us to celebrate victory?" "It's not that we don't appreciate what General Stewart has fought for our kingdom, but we can't put aside the unfinished business with the Kingdom of Hellfric." Their king's words sounded so wise that several people nodded, as if they agreed with the king's words. However, that was not the case with Amanda Clark. The woman who was a
However, as they began their journey to the Kingdom of Hellfric, a kingdom that should not have been their responsibility, two new soldiers who joined at the last moment of their departure to the Kingdom of Sealand came up to Bill. Both saluted sincerely, "General." Bill nodded and said, "Yes. What is it?" The two troops glanced at each other, as if communicating through gaze. Bill, who saw the two men, said, "I know you're both tired and feel this is very unfair to you. You fought so hard earlier, but you still have to fight again. I really want you to understand." None of them wanted to interrupt the general. Instead, they listened intently until the general finished speaking. "This concerns our kingdom, the other troops are still there and your other War Generals are still waiting for us. So, I ask you to get ready for the rescue mission," Bill said. Once again, the two troops bowed respectfully to Bill. One of them, Howard, also said, "General Stewart, we are not tired at all
No one dared to answer his question. Instead, everyone was now silent and began to think furiously about the arrival of another War General who was said to be powerful. Feeling so pressured, Giorgino was forced to say, "Can't we trap him?" "Sir, this is very risky," one of the palace officials said. "This could end badly, sir. I can't imagine General Stewart's wrath," the messenger said with a trembling body. Not knowing what was really going on in the Sealand Kingdom, Giorgino did not understand how the general could keep his army intact. It seemed highly improbable. There should have been at least one or two killed. "What tactics does he actually have? How did he do it?" Giorgino began to try to think deeper, looking for loopholes that he might be able to use to defeat Bill Stewart. However, a soldier suddenly staggered into the palace hall and said, "Sir, I have a message from General Stewart." Giorgino turned his head quickly, "What is the message?" "He gives you four hou
Giorgino looked around. Lives were beginning to fall at an alarming rate. Not from the opposing side, but his own side. His soldiers slowly fell and decreased. In fact, it was seen in his eyes if several palace officials intervened to help fight the enemy troops. His anger was so high but sadness was eating away at his heart so fast. Bill said again, "Do you want to maintain your ego and keep attacking me or do you want to save the remaining people of your kingdom. You decide for yourself." Scream after scream was heard by Giorgino now. It seemed so torturous and disturbing to him. The man turned to the great War General and instantly dropped his rifle, sword and other weapons. The man then knelt in front of Bill, "I don't know what strategy you've used, but for now I surrender." Bill actually hated that remark. Surrender was one of the most painful words to hear. He himself had never said that one word in his life. Even when he was in a tight spot, Bill never said that word. Ho
"General Mackenzie would never kill an unprepared enemy, sir," Giorgino's men said. Giorgino sighed, "There are many people like that. I don't think anyone can really point to this until there is clear evidence." The conversation between Giorgino and the other officials and men ended there. Meanwhile, now William Mackenzie, the person they were talking about was sitting in the airplane facing Jody Gardner who had yet to open his mouth. Bill did not open the conversation or even look at Jody. It left both men looking confused. Of course, that didn't apply to Andrew Reece and Steven. Steven was still looking sarcastically at Andrew, while Andrew looked relaxed and calm. "You must have the upper hand because your war general managed to defeat two kingdoms," Steven said. Andrew smiled casually, "Before General Stewart defeated those two kingdoms, I was already on top." "Wow, you've only won twice and you're so arrogant. General Gardner has won dozens of times," Steven retorted. "
At first Michelle Veren didn't understand what James Gardner was asking. However, when she saw the look on the general's face, she immediately knew he meant the time of the departure of the three people they were looking for.So, the Veren boutique owner replied, "About an hour ago, General Gardner."Hearing that answer, Reiner immediately went limp. But, it was inversely proportional to James who was even full of enthusiasm. This could be seen from James who even said, "Come on, Rei. Let's go after him."Reiner looked sadly at his best friend and replied, "It won't catch up, James. It's been too long."James did not even listen to Reiner's words and ordered some of his men, "Prepare the car, let's go after them!""James," Reiner called softly.James ignored the call and kept saying to his men who were still quietly waiting, "Find out through the CCTV which area they are currently in. They ... should be visible if they take the highway from behind this building."Reiner bit his own
Unfortunately it was all too late for the young girl to realize. All the words of the girl named Alice Porter were clearly heard by Reiner Anderson and James Gardner.With a dark look on his face, James said, "Miss, you-""No, no. I just misspoke, I ... I don't know anything. You heard me wrong," Alice said, whose face paled even more. Especially when she saw the aura of James Gardner, the terrifying war general, she found it even harder to breathe.Reiner also could not help himself so he said in an exasperated tone, "Tell me everything you know or you ... will know how terrible it is when you face the two of us.""I don't care if you are a woman. I can still find a punishment that you deserve," Reiner continued coldly.Alice swallowed harshly. Of course the young girl was very confused. Moreover, no one was trying to help her at all. All the employees in the boutique looked so frightened that no one dared to open their mouths."Say it now! We don't have much time, Miss!" James gro
James' question immediately made Reiner silent for a few moments. He stared at the boutique with a confused look on his face.Meanwhile, James didn't want to waste any more time so he wordlessly walked towards the boutique owned by Michelle Veren, a forty-year-old female designer who was quite famous in the country.Reiner didn't just stand by and do nothing, lamenting his inaccuracy. He followed James with a small trot right behind James without a word.As soon as James was faster than him to reach the door, he immediately saw the two boutique guards who opened the door for them."Can I help you?" one of the boutique guards asked James."I'm looking for Princess Rowena. Where is she now?" James asked back matter-of-factly as he darted his eyes all over the first floor of the boutique.Although there was a suspicion rising in James' mind, the young man put his anxiety ahead of his suspicion."You're looking for Princess Rowena? Who are you? You-""James Gardner. Royal War General Ans
Reiner Anderson did not answer James' question. Instead, he had a facial expression that looked both hesitant and confused.Of course, that made James Gardner even more annoyed. "Come on, tell me quickly! What's so strange about Princess Rowena?" James urged, impatiently.Reiner swallowed and scratched his ears before answering, "Well, I'm not sure if this is strange to you. But ... I think it's very strange, James."James gritted his teeth in growing annoyance and impatience.Luckily, he didn't need to ask anymore as Reiner added, "So, according to reports she went outside the palace."Hearing Reiner's answer, James snorted rudely. "What's so strange about that? I know she often goes outside the palace."Reiner sighed softly, "Indeed. But, this time ... a few hours ago, she left without a bodyguard. And she ... left with their son, Prince Kharel."Instantly James glared in shock, "What? Are you ... sure?""Yes, James. She just-""How is that possible? King Xylan ... didn't forbid he
Gary Davis did not answer Xylan's question. He just wore a pitiable expression. It instantly brought out the guilt in Xylan Wellington.Oh, no. What have I done? Did ... did I go too far in becoming suspicious of my own personal assistant? Xylan thought to himself as he stared at Gary's innocent face.The viceroy sighed softly. He went back to thinking hard. He tried to remember everything about Gary. He had never made a mistake, not once. He also never did anything suspicious all this time. Gosh, am I suspecting the wrong person? Xylan thought.However, he shook his head quickly as he realized something.But, wait a minute. It was James Gardner who suspected him. He couldn't have spoken carelessly. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been selected as the deputy war general. His instincts must be very strong that he has suspicions of Gary Davis, Xylan thought seriously.He then looked at Gary once more and finally nodded his head.He does look very innocent, but he could be h
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
