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. "
Keannu looked surprised and confused at Bill. The king replied, "Why do you ask like that, General Stewart? It's of course to celebrate your victory. You have defeated two kingdoms at once. Yoi deserve to be welcomed." Monica Wilhem who was standing beside her husband immediately realized that Keannu had committed an upset. She could see it in William Mackenzie's unflattering gaze. Instead of feeling happy about the celebration, Bill's face showed dislike and there was even a look of sadness on it. "Is this not enough welcome for your victory, General?" Keannu asked. Jody Gardner who was standing not far from Bill snorted. He thought to himself, of course that's what he was thinking. What else could it be? Steven who was accompanying him said quietly so that no one could hear, "I never expected that, General. I thought General Stewart had a humble nature but apparently he likes compliments. Well, that's very surprising." "That's right. He looks so dynamic from the outside but h
"Yes. Bill has upset you," Monica said casually. Keannu replied, "You're dead wrong. He hasn't just upset me, he's angered me." Monica, who seemed to have guessed what her husband might do, immediately stepped back. Sure enough, Keannu immediately grabbed the various trinkets that were going to be given to William Mackenzie for his victory and threw them all over the place. Not only that, but he also damaged so many other items that the area used to welcome their War General became chaotic and dirty. His anger was so uncontrollable at the moment that Monica did not dare to approach. She was still keeping a safe distance of about five meters so as not to be hit by her husband's rage. However, she certainly couldn't leave her husband in such a chaotic state so she still stayed there. Even though Keannu was still raging now, Monica was no longer afraid. This was because she was used to the man's strange behavior whenever he was angry. After he was satisfied messing up the place,
Keannu once again leered at his wife and instead smiled and kissed her briefly on the cheek and then said, "Do you now mind me bringing women into my palace?" Hearing Keannu's words, Monica Wilhelm almost lost her mind, "You ... wouldn't do such a shameful thing, Kean, would you?" "Who knows?" Keannu replied with a mysterious look in his eyes. Not wanting to get any crazier, Monica chose to say, "You ... don't deserve to be called human if you get-" "Just wait, my Queen! Just wait for a moment!" Keannu retorted. Monica, who could no longer contain herself because of the anger that overcame her, stomped her foot hard and left the welcoming area, leaving Keannu alone. When she reached her palace, Monica ordered, "Bring me some cold water, Magdalena." The trusted maid quickly fetched and handed Monica a glass of cold water which she quickly drank with her hands shaking violently. Magdalena, who had not been allowed to accompany her queen while talking to the king, immediately bega
William Mackenzie paused for a moment, then without thinking he immediately took out his cell phone and contacted the bodyguard he had assigned to protect his wife. Andrew Reece, who didn't understand what the major general was doing, remained silent and waited. "James. Is there a problem in the house?" Bill asked quickly. "Nothing, sir." Bill breathed a sigh of relief, "So, where's my wife?" "Madame has just fallen asleep, sir. Do I need to ask Mary to wake her up?" James asked. "No need, tomorrow morning I'll call her cell phone directly," Bill declined. "Yes, sir." Bill said again, "Tighten the guard throughout the house. If anything happens, call me immediately." "Yes, sir. Yes, I'll do it." After disconnecting the call, Bill turned to Andrew Reece whose face was slightly flushed. "Did you hear that, Reece?" "Yes, General." The young man replied in a very low tone of voice. Bill said, "King Keannu may not be a great king but that doesn't mean he would do such a low and
"Your Majesty," Bill called with a slightly trembling voice but his eyes staring straight ahead without the slightest wavering. No one knew at this moment whether the war general was angry or just surprised or shocked. However, what was certain was that an uneasy expression could be seen on the man's face. Keannu Wellington stood up from his throne, "General Stewart, this is just a surprise for you." "A surprise? What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Bill replied. "You've just won two battles. Of course you need to be rewarded," Keannu said. Everyone began to whisper. "A gift? Does she mean a gift for General Stewart?" "But it seems General Stewart knows her." Steven stood nervously behind his master and was obviously afraid that something might happen. Bill stepped closer and said, "A gift? What do you mean by gift?" "General Stewart, you must have missed your wife here very much. You must be very happy to see her again." Bill remained silent, waiting for Keannu Wellington to co
Without looking away, Ben thought hard. James didn't just stand by, waiting for Ben's answer. He himself repeatedly touched the handkerchief to scrutinize it. Not only that, the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was also sniffing the gray handkerchief as if he was looking for something.Seeing what James was doing, Ben impatiently commented, "You're not a dog. How can you track someone's whereabouts from sniffing that thing?"James instantly gave Ben an exasperated look, "That's not it. I'm just trying to smell this handkerchief. Who knows ... it might turn out to be a clue.""Then ... did you get a clue after sniffing the cloth?" Ben asked with a casual look.With a look of disappointment, James replied, "No. I didn't. I just smelled the earth."Had they not been in a serious situation, Ben's laughter would have exploded. However, they were working on an important mission so Ben knew he had to restrain himself. He certainly didn't want to be seen as trivializing his friend's rescu
Foei Maccray turned around and looked sarcastically at the junior.When he saw Lory Blackwell's compliance, Foei Maccray smiled wryly as if satisfied that he had succeeded in making one of his juniors submit to his orders.Of course, that made him feel big-headed. Hence, Foei haughtily said again, "Keep standing here until we are out of your sight. After that ... then you can walk."Lory Blackwell did not reply. But Foei took his silence as obedience so he said, "Good! You should obey your seniors' orders."Lory just swallowed without daring to say a word. However, Foei did not need an answer so he just continued walking along with his good friend, Derrick Weybe who looked bored in Lory's neighborhood. The other soldiers followed the two senior soldiers with mixed feelings. Apparently there were some of them who were starting to feel sympathetic towards Lory. But due to their status and class being much lower than the two senior soldiers who were bullying Lory, they chose to be cowa
Derrick snorted in annoyance, while Foei immediately responded, "Oh, you seem to be very timid!" Foei cast his gaze at Derrick and then flashed a smile with a mocking expression. Derrick shook his head, also smiling mockingly."If you're scared, why would you want to participate in this important mission?" Foei said.Lory quickly shook her head, "I'm not afraid ... I’m just-""Huh? Not afraid? Then, why did you just say that?" Derrick cut Lory off, as if he deliberately didn't want to hear Lory speak."You're obviously a coward! Oh my! You should have stayed in the palace and not joined the search for General Mackenzie," Foei explained with a lopsided smile. "Coward!" Derrick taunted again. "A pathetic soldier like you who dares to tell us we're slow? Who do you think you are, my superior?" Foei said with a cold tone and a dismissive expression.Oh, he was really very satisfied seeing Lory's helpless expression.The two men deliberately wanted to humiliate Lory. Their intentions w
Seeing James' confident smile, Ben instantly realized that his best friend was unpredictable. But, when he recalled the relationship between James and Riley in the past, he felt that everything James said was true. Riley had always been completely open to James. The young man only hid one thing, which was the fact that he was William Mackenzie's son. Other than that, Riley had no other secrets from James. Meanwhile, Riley was also the only person who could understand James very well. Only Riley is able to understand every action taken by James and James only wants to talk about things with Riley.So, seeing all these facts, Ben finally nodded, "Okay, then. What should I do?"James snorted and immediately put on a sullen face, "Come on, Ben! I told you earlier."Ben rolled his eyes, "I still don't understand. Please explain in more detail!"With an annoyed expression James replied, "If I had the authority to downgrade soldiers, I would definitely downgrade you to class two."Ben's n
Although they seemed confused by the war general's order, they still unanimously replied, "Yes, General."It wasn't long before all the soldiers formed a line where they would prepare to search for Riley Mackenzie as ordered by James Gardner.Most of the first class soldiers did not hesitate to do the task, but there were some of the class two soldiers who seemed to be unsure of what they were going to do.Two of them were Foei Mccray and Derrick Weybe."I don't understand why General Gardner is searching the forest. How could General Mackenzie be here? This doesn't make sense," Derrick said, who had just lined up facing the front of the forest.The twenty-six year old young man was in the front row with his best friend so they could still talk in a fairly low tone of voice.Foei nodded in agreement, seemingly thinking the same as Derrick, "He's probably too frustrated to pick a spot."Derrick exhaled harshly then glanced towards the front where several class one soldiers seemed to be
Gary Davis shook his head with a super confused expression. He couldn't guess what might have happened. He himself did not know James Gardner very well. He entered the palace when James Gardner had just resigned from the post of deputy general of war. So basically he had only met James a few times. It was different with Riley Mackenzie. He had met Riley countless times. In fact, it could be said that he already knew how Riley behaved. However, he could not think of anything about James Gardner. He was just like a blind man when it came to James. "Even young General Mackenzie is not suspicious of you. He's been in the palace longer than that general. I don't understand," Elena said, who also hadn't found the answer to the question that was bothering her.She also still didn't understand. However, a thought occurred to Gary. "Maybe I was in too much of a hurry, Gran," Gary said suddenly.Elena frowned, "What do you mean, Gary? What kind of hurry?"Gary sighed softly, "Approaching
Elena Goldwin bit her lip, feeling she had done something wrong. The old woman said, "I'm sorry, Prince ... oh, I mean ... Gary."Seeing Elena's soulful face, Gary became uncomfortable. He looked at the old woman who had taken care of him since he was a child. That woman had done so much for her family. Not only did she devote herself as a household assistant, she also became a substitute mother figure for his brother. Indeed, her age was more appropriate to be called a "grandmother", but her role was more suitable as a mother to herself and Rowen.Oh my! What have I done? She sacrificed so much, but what have I done? The old woman who has helped me with all her time and energy, I almost made her cry, Gary thought in exasperation.The young man touched Elena's hand, startling the woman. She then heard Gary say, "You don't have to apologize, Gran. And I ... I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. Please, forgive me for getting angry just because you called me that."Elena ga
Gary Davis sighed softly. Guilt immediately rushed into his heart.He immediately positioned his seat towards his little brother and looked at him with a guilt-filled gaze.The boy's gaze was so innocent that it made Gary's feelings even more chaotic.Rowen, his little brother, was still very young, but he had to bear problems that he shouldn't have thought about at such a young age. In a very gentle tone Gary said, "Rowen, I'm sorry. I ... know you must feel very lonely. But ... believe me I'm doing all this for us. I-""You risked your life, Brother. I ... I ...."Gary shook his head, "Don't think about me! You just have to grow up healthy and safe. So that when we get what is rightfully ours, we can stand tall."Suddenly, Gary's words made Rowen look down sadly. "Gary, can't you just leave it all behind?"Rowen made Gary frown but he smiled a little before saying again, "What do you mean? Didn't you say you wanted to live in the palace with me? Why are you saying that now?"The 10
Actually it was not only Doris Tan who found it hard to believe what Xylan had decided. However, his three fellow bodyguards also felt the same way.In fact, the images of the three's expressions were very clear from just one look. Especially Jim Chesnut who looked so shocked at Xylan's words. His mouth even opened wide and he forgot to close it again. "Y-Your Majesty, I'm very confused. I ... I-""Doris Tan," Xylan cut Doris off with a stern tone.Doris fell silent, as if knowing that Xylan would soon explain the viceroy's reasoning. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Xylan said, "Hm, you ... did do the right thing by admitting your mistake."He paused for a few seconds, deliberately to give Doris time to calm down before he continued what he wanted to say.When Doris seemed much calmer, Xylan continued, "However, you did it in the wrong way."Ludos Flee frowned, looking confused. Meanwhile, Jim Chesnut looked thoughtful as he squinted slightly.What's wrong? Jim wondered to himsel
