However, before Jody Gardner could think any further, his worries disappeared as he watched Keannu Wellington begin to ask the King's Counsel to speak. "To tell you the truth, I am deeply troubled by this," Larry began his important remarks. The man in his forties then made a face of sadness and confusion, "But. I have to say it." Andrew Reece raised his eyebrows and William Mackenzie, who was still using the identity of Bill Stewart, immediately had a bad feeling. "As we know, our kingdom borders the Fleshy Kingdom to the west. And according to reports, that kingdom often acts at will in that border area," Larry said. Andrew Reece sighed and turned to the general with a look of concern on his face. "So, we have to stop that from further disturbing the people there. Otherwise, the people will definitely be more oppressed and we might lose them. Because there are so many soldiers from the Fleshy Kingdom who are arbitrary towards our people. This, of course, must be resolved immedi
"In four days," Bill replied. "In four days? Are you sure, General?" Howard said, looking shocked by the war general's answer. Bill rolled his eyes and stared unflinchingly at his men, "Of course. Why is that?" "Because in my opinion, it's too soon. You ... how about your condition, General? Are you okay with this?" Howard asked with an anxious look. Bill flashed a smile. In the past, he didn't have people who could easily express what was going on inside his head. In his past as William Mackenzie, people were too afraid to comment on every decision he made. However, everything was the opposite now. Everyone who was worried about him did not keep it from him. Oh, he understood the difference between his former self and his current self. "I'm fine. What matters is you guys. After we discuss this matter of strategy, I will give you a rest for one day in total." Andrew Reece was surprised but Mark Donovan expressed his astonishment first, "General, what does it mean that we a
"Yes," Bill replied. Cassandra asked stammeringly, "Does grandma know about this?" "Yes, I revealed everything to her," Bill replied. Cassandra Wood began to lose her train of thought. She closed her eyes for a moment and then began to limp. However, Bill held his wife and the beautiful woman did not falter. "Why are you telling me this now? You're ...." Cassandra began to remember the treatment Bill received and how she treated her husband. She often had harsh words for Bill. In fact, he was not the useless man her family thought he was. Bill was a well-respected legend. But now another question popped into Cassandra's head, "Do the people in the palace know about this? I mean, General Mackenzie wears a mask." She pointed to the huge picture of Bill there. Bill shook his head, "The only ones who know my true identity are Andrew Reece, the king and the queen." This time Cassandra covered her mouth in shock, "The king knows about you?" "Of course. Cassie, I lived outside the
As soon as the arrow shot upwards, lightning seemed to strike even more fiercely. In fact, it caused such a tremendous flash that all the great archers took a few steps back. Some of them turned to their calm-looking War General, asking for an explanation. Andrew Reece represented them and immediately said, "General, it didn't work." "Who said it didn't work?" Bill retorted without turning around. "General ...." Andrew Reece wore a puzzled expression. Bill then took a few steps forward and looked at the front with a narrowed gaze. All of his men were increasingly unable to understand what the general was doing. Andrew Reece who had been so close to their general just didn't understand, what more those who had only known him for a while certainly couldn't understand. Because, if they thought about it, all of their general's actions were never as expected. They then could only remain silent while waiting for the general's actions again. "Do you know why I told them to shoot th
The Fleshy Kingdom's War General may have looked young, but he didn't seem afraid to face Bill. He calmly said, "We can fight until one of us dies, no soldiers involved." William Mackenzie was surprised to hear, "You ...." "This is not a war that needs to involve them." The young War General stared with conviction. "You intend to sacrifice yourself for them?" Bill asked. The war general named Hugh Fleshy who was also the crown prince of the Fleshy Kingdom smiled faintly. "Are you underestimating me, General? Do you think you'll be able to defeat me?" Hugh replied casually. "Of course not. Well, how are we going to fight?" Bill asked. Hugh turned around, turned his back to Bill and faced all his soldiers who were staring in confusion. "Soldiers, I will fight General Ans De Lou one-on-one. I-" "Crown Prince, you ... what do you mean?" Gilar Fleshy cut off his brother's words, looking so surprised. He even almost stepped closer to his brother. But, it was not only Gilar Fleshy
From Hugh's wound, blood dripped but not too much. Gilar looked very panicked when he saw that his brother was injured. The young man couldn't let his brother be killed by their enemies. He also still remembered his father's message before he followed his brother into battle. "Hugh is the crown prince so if anything happens to him, our country will be in chaos. Gilar, make sure the crown prince stay safe." Those words rang in his head. Gilar, who could no longer bear to see his brother injured, was about to break through the front guard but Hugh shouted in a very loud voice, "Stop right there!" "No." "Gilar, stop! Don't come any closer!" Hugh said firmly. "Hugh! Don't be stubborn!" Gilar retorted, about to take another step. But then Gilar heard his brother growl angrily, "STOP!" Gilar immediately stopped walking. Gilar was extremely annoyed by his brother's hardness of heart, who had always felt the strongest. His brother actually just wanted to hide his weakness and the o
"Agreed," Bill replied. Bill immediately picked up his gun, as did Hugh. Bill then pointed his gun upwards. The Royal War General Ans De Lou said, "Once this one shot goes off, this round has begun." Hugh Fleshy looked somewhat disturbed by those words. A "round", that's what made him think that Bill only thought that what they were doing now was a game. Wasn't that too much? He even felt that his current struggle was between life and death. However, his opponent did not think seriously. Not long after, an explosion was heard. Hugh quickly aimed his gun at Bill's right leg but unfortunately, Bill jumped to the right with a sideways movement. Hugh did not give up. Again, the handsome crown prince attacked again and this time targeted Bill's right arm. However, he still failed. On the third shot, he switched to Bill's thigh. But, unluckily, again Hugh Fleshy still failed to injure Bill. With his third failure, his movements slowed down somewhat. William Mackenzie quickly t
Suddenly Andrew Reece walked up to them, "Our general didn't lose, didn't he defeat you? It's just a matter of statement, it won't matter." Andree Reece smiled at the two brothers. Hugh Fleshy realized what he should do next. "In that case, please accept my respect," Hugh said as he intended to kneel in front of Bill but Bill quickly prevented the young man and held him upright. William Mackenzie looked seriously at the young man. "You are the Crown Prince. It's not appropriate to kneel in front of someone like me." Bill said while holding Hugh's shoulders. Gilar Fleshy also looked at William Mackenzie with a very different gaze now. Previously, he had been eager to tear Bill apart due to the defeat his brother had suffered. Right now, his gaze had turned into a gaze full of deep admiration. "General Stewart, are you a god? How can you behave like a god?" Gilar asked. William Mackenzie only flashed a faint smile. "I'm not that good, back then I was even nicknamed the God of
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
