The soldier who was staggering as he walked was no longer wearing his head armour or any other body armour. That made the war general glare angrily at him, "What have you done? Where is your armour?" The soldier of the first class could only grimace in pain and replied, "It's unusable, too many bullet wounds." Riley Mackenzie widened his eyes and instantly removed the goggles protecting his eyes. The young man crouched down and looked at Benedict Arkitson's injuries, which were extremely severe. Not only had his leg been shot, but his left abdomen was also severely injured. In addition, Riley saw countless other wounds. "Stay here! The medical staff will help you soon," Riley ordered firmly. Ben shook his head, "How can I leave you alone against the main army? There are too many of them." "Rei
James instantly stopped what he was doing but still didn't look at Diego.Diego, who saw James' sudden stop, slapped his own mouth as if realizing that he had misspoken.“Uh, what did I say? You ... of course still think of him as your best friend. Otherwise, how could you always make him special weapons?” Diego said guiltily.James sighed softly, “He would have gotten away without my interference.”“I'm not sure, James. If I was sure, I wouldn't have come here and asked you to come back. In fact, Princess Rowena and Prince Xylan ....”James frowned and finally turned to Diego, “What's wrong with them?”“Princess Rowena specifically came to me when I had just arrived at the palace. She asked me to find out where you were, James. Prince Xylan also came to me, like Princess Rowena,” Diego explained.James wondered even more, “Why would they ask you that?”Die
Xylan smiled back casually in response to James' unchanged demeanor.The future king calmly replied, “Since I'm already here, of course ... your consequences will be much worse, Deputy General of War.”Damn it, James only dared to swear inwardly.Of course even though he was very annoyed at the man who was several years younger than him, he couldn't swear directly. He wasn't stupid. Xylan could cut off his head easily.“So, how was it? Are you ... still refusing, Deputy War General?” Xylan asked in an urgent tone.James gritted his teeth and with a hint of annoyance he replied, “How can I refuse if you've threatened me like that, Your Highness?”Xylan chuckled softly.That made James become wary. After he saw the change in Xylan Wellington, from being a teenager a dozen years ago while standing not far from him to a grown man, James felt that the crown prince of Ans De Lou Kingdom was very different.The teenage Xylan was a prince who looked less competent and more nervous when talk
Being hit, cursed by his own best friend did not make James Gardner apoplectic. Instead, he chuckled and returned Shin's hug. He said in a very low tone, “I'm sorry.”Shin was actually surprised when he heard James' apology. He felt that James was basically innocent. His best friend was just disappointed and his reaction was not excessive. Even if he did choose to leave, James still couldn't be considered as acting out of bounds. He still had the right to choose to stay in the palace or leave the palace life.So Shin quickly said, “Never mind, forget it. You ... are completely innocent.”James sighed softly and then released his embrace on Shin. Shin suddenly turned to Diego who suddenly did not dare to look at him. The forty-year-old man narrowed his eyes in suspicion.“Does this mean you ... knew all along-”Diego immediately cleared his throat softly and said quickly, “Senior Shin, Prince Xylan is waiting for James.”Shin instantly came to his senses and immediately apologized
Having managed to pull himself together, Shin looked at Diego with a curious gaze. Diego knew immediately that Shin must want to ask more about James' life.But all the soldier who worked with James could say was, "You know he's good at making bombs, right? However, that was not all. His skills were more impressive than just bomb-making. He can also make amazing weapons.""On top of that, he manages the cafe business he runs with Aunt Dorothy. But really ... his main job has always been, of course, making weapons for our kingdom," Diego explained.Shin nodded, understanding easily.He was so eager to know more that he asked again, "Then, what about his ... love life? Is he married?"Diego shook his head, "How has he ever thought about that? You ... know what he's like, don't you?"Shin stopped asking about James' love life and went back to asking about other things.Meanwhile, inside the king's palace, James was still talking seriously with Keannu and also Xylan."I know ... you left
Xylan wanted to help his father, but in the end, the young man who looked so worried about his father was asked to wait outside the king's palace by Keannu.After Keannu was left alone with James, he looked back at James seriously.“Deputy General of War, please save ... this kingdom. Don't let our kingdom be taken by them. Can you ... do it?” Keannu asked with an expectant look that was so obvious.James frowned. He honestly predicted that the king would mention Riley first, but apparently he prioritized the whole country over his son-in-law's safety.As if guessing what James was thinking, Keannu added, “I'm not indifferent to Riley. I ... also don't know that my daughter is suffering because her husband's fate is still unclear.”He swallowed hard and continued, “However, if I ask you to focus on saving Riley first, then ....”He was speechless again. Imagining his daughter being so sad because of his son-in-law who was still a hostage in the enemy kingdom made the old man sad as we
“Deputy General of War,” Rowena called softly.James instantly shifted his gaze from the small child he estimated to be about two years old to the king's daughter.“Yes, Your Royal Highness, did you wish to speak with me?” James asked quietly.Rowena nodded and immediately handed her son to the nanny, “Take care of Prince Kharel for a moment. I won't be long.”The nanny immediately nodded and took the little prince in her arms. On the other hand, Diego and Shin, who knew that Rowena needed a chance to talk to James, quickly stepped aside.Before leaving, the two did not forget to pay their respects to the princess.After leaving, James immediately asked back, “What did you want to talk to me about, Your Highness?”Rowena gulped, “Have you ... agreed to look for Riley, the Deputy War General?”James nodded, “Of course, that is already one of my duties, Your Highness.”Rowena's lips trembled and she suddenly looked like she was about to cry.Uh, James was confused because of that. He h
"Why did you call them?" one of the class one soldiers asked with furrowed brows.James sighed softly and could only reply, "Because I have a new war strategy. Why? Do you mind?"James looked at him with a cold gaze and of course it made the soldier who was still recovering from his heavy injuries unable to reply.James Gardner was still a deputy general of war after all. He didn't want to make trouble with the man so he chose not to question the decision James had made.After knowing that the soldier no longer argued with him, James immediately ordered, "Prepare everything. I will explain our new war strategy to you all as soon as the war commanders get here.""Yes, Deputy General of War," said the first class soldier.James quickly entered the silver building and immediately rolled out a large paper. Beside him he saw some notes that had been prepared by the soldiers.In addition, there were several large screens that showed almost the entire location of the war. James wasted no tim
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
