“How? Are you going to leave or stay here?” Colin asked.

He and Kenneth seemed to deliberately want to upset James.

Riley could feel it and was getting uncomfortable with the way the two men were acting.

James replied, “The warrior leader asked us to wait.”

He tried to control himself because he didn't want to be seen as a troublemaking soldier.

“Oh, why don't you tell me that you're actually scared. You're ... just as cowardly as me,” Kenneth said.

He looked down at James and then shook his head as if he was underestimating him.

Colin also added, “You scream as if everyone else is a coward, when you yourself are the same. Where's that courage you bragged about, James Gardner?”

“Gone? Afraid of war, huh? Wow! Is this what the son of a ... war general looks like? How sad!” Kenneth said as he smiled mockingly again.

He then laughed again, but James was still silent, as if holding back desperately.

“Never mind, James. Admit that you're a coward too. This is a real battlefield, not a pal

  • The Strongest God of War   118. He's the Fool!

    Colin gulped, not daring to reply to Riley's words. Moreover, Riley's voice sounded terrifying to his ears. However, that was not the case with Kenneth. The man instead lifted his chin with a defiant look and replied, “It's his own fault. We never told him to leave. He wanted to go himself.”Colin was shocked to find out that his best friend actually dared to fight Riley.“DAMN IT! If you two hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have gone there,” Riley cursed with an annoyance he could no longer contain.Kenneth realized the young man was so angry with him, but he still didn't want to admit it and said again, “He's the fool. Why should he be provoked by our words? He can't control his own emotions, why blame us?”Riley clenched his fist, about to raise his hand and hit Kenneth with full force. However, just before his strong hand touched Kenneth's jaw, someone shouted, “Enough!”Riley very reluctantly lowered his hand. Kenneth, who had closed his eyes in fear, now slowly opened his eyes.

    “That's much better, the commanders could wipe us out if they find out we've lost a candidate,” another said.“Hey, we didn't lose him, Ben. We just haven't found him yet,” a senior soldier named Ryan said.Ben sighed lazily, “It's the same thing. Never mind, let's get back to it.”Having agreed, the soldiers who were looking for James returned to the place where they had asked the prospective soldiers and the other fellow soldiers were still waiting.The most conspicuous young man, Riley Wood, who was known to be in a relationship with the king's daughter walked over, “Excuse me, doesn't James want to go back?”Ben shook his head, “It's not that he doesn't want to come back, it's that we haven't found him yet.”Riley gasped, “You mean you can't find him?”“Yes. This is a wild forest, we don't control this area.” Ben explained.Colin, who had reconciled with Riley, immediately squeezed his hand, really getting scared.“Then, are you guys just going to leave it alone?” Riley asked fran

  • The Strongest God of War   120. He Isn't There!

    “Ryan, where is he?” Ben asked, starting to get a little anxious.Ryan, who had been one of the senior bodyguards on duty at the back, immediately looked around for Riley.His face immediately paled when he did not find the young man's whereabouts, “Damn. He's not there, Ben.”“What's he doing?”“Why can't any of these new recruits be right? One disappears before our eyes and the other leaves quietly!”“They like to get us in trouble, don't they?” another senior soldier muttered as well. Their faces were flushed with anger.Ben couldn't let his emotions out at the moment. He realized that there was no point in venting his frustration. He could even get into more trouble if he did that.The furious Ben finally said, “Come on, let's go find them!”Ryan and some of the senior guards complained. However, there was no way they could refuse. Ben, who knew his friends looked burdened, said, “We need to find the boy and ... the traitor's ason. If we don't, we'll be in trouble. Guys, you know

    Alen immediately ran towards the line where the medical staff soldiers were. He joined the line along with his other friends.In addition, all the soldiers there, both senior soldiers and prospective soldiers were seen lining up in different places.This was to make it easier for soldiers with high positions such as commanders to check on their soldiers.Greg Sehel turned around and swept his gaze towards the candidates lined up on the right. He frowned, “Why don't I see the two recruits from this group?”One of the senior soldiers assigned to the task swallowed before replying, “Commander, two of the recruits from this group are missing.”Greg Sehel's eyes bulged as if they were about to jump out of place, “What? Disappeared? How did that happen?”The commander's breathing began to quicken as if he was holding back anger, “Tell me! How did you lose those two?”“Riley Wood and James Gardner. They're missing, aren't they?” Greg said, looking at the senior soldier impatiently.The sold

    One friend replied with a whimper of pain, “He didn't kill us, but he ... paralyzed us.”“Did he intend for us to be tortured and die slowly?” another friend continued.The group leader limped to his feet despite the pain in his legs. He replied, “If he was torturing us, he would have at least shot where it hurts. Look at all of your wounds!”“He's ... just trying to make us unable to hold weapons or ... walk. That means he really doesn't want to kill us,” the leader continued.Someone cursed, “Damn it! Why would he do that? Does he think we're not his opponents?”The leader shook his head with difficulty, his strength drained from the pain, “I don't know what his intentions were. But ... he certainly didn't kill us. What his motives were, I don't care.”“It's better to find a way to contact the commander! Hurry! We're still alive, but ... if we keep losing too much blood, we'll die,” the chairman continued.In another area, about a few miles away, James Gardner had just received a ki

    The Kingdom Fermoza soldier held a hot iron right in front of James Gardner's eyes in the hope that the young man, who he estimated to be in his early twenties, would give up out of fear.Unfortunately, what he wanted did not happen. He saw the young warrior from the Ans De Lou Kingdom staring at him without a trace of fear and instead said, “You go ahead and do that. I'll keep my mouth shut tight.”The soldier widened his eyes in surprise at the young man's boldness. He replied, “Oh, so you don't mind if I put a hole in your heart? No problem if you die slowly?”Still not looking afraid, James replied, “There is no one I fear in this world, except ... my mother.”The enemy soldier laughed mockingly, “Uh, I see. Then, what if your mother sees your horribly dead corpse?”He looked at James with a lopsided smile, but James stood his ground and said casually, “She will be proud of me because I died as a true soldier, not as a traitor.”Instantly the soldier lost his fun. “You young fool,

  • The Strongest God of War   124. Are You Laughing at Us?

    James Gardner laughed crisply, pleased to see the panic among the now defenseless enemy troops.The remaining soldier immediately took offense, “Are you laughing at us?”James in between laughs replied, “Of course I am. Who else can make me laugh?”James glanced at the name on the right side of the man's combat uniform. Edwin Grace. “Damn you. You're laughing when your life is in my hands, do you think he's going to save you? Don't ever dream it!” Edwin said.James grinned, “You idiot, do you realize that or not? That guy already managed to get your friends down. If I were you, I would have saved myself.”“I'm not a coward,” Edwin retorted as he wandered around, scanning every corner of the forest. He didn't want his attacker to catch him off guard and end up attacking him too.James wanted to open his mouth again to reply, but Edwin shouted again, “If you don't come out, your friend will die.”James bit his teeth and snapped, “Just kill me! Hurry up! You say you're not a coward, bu

  • The Strongest God of War   125. Tired?

    James took no offense and instead chuckled, “I'm just tired.”"Tired? Are you stupid or something?” Riley retorted, getting annoyed.“I'm tired of the insults,” James said in a soft tone.Riley did not reply it.James winced as his broken leg hit a rock as they walked over the rocks.Riley suddenly turned his head and glanced at James' leg which was not bleeding but seemed to be dangling. Without even examining the leg, Riley had already guessed that James' right leg was broken.James was not a weak person who would complain if he was sick. The man would act strong and not suffer anything. However, seeing James not hiding his pain from himself, Riley quickly assumed that the injury was indeed severe.“How bad is it?” Riley asked in the end.James grinned, “No need to worry about that. I can still walk although not normally."Riley sighed in exasperation, she shouldn't have

  • The Strongest God of War   97. An Important Task

    "Yes, Mr. Chesnut," Camelia replied, almost gnashing her teeth in annoyance."Y-you're sure? Is it really my name? Did the king say my name?" Jim asked as he pointed at himself with his right index finger.Uh, it looks like Camelia will have to practice her patience even more. Because, the main soldiers standing nearby were apparently not as smart as they should be.Perhaps, they were only physically strong. But, when it comes to thinking, it seems to be very, very slow, Camelia thought with a frown. "Yes, Mr. Chesnut. You have been asked to appear before the king," Camelia replied.Jim was stunned. "Is that for real? This feels like ...."Before Camelia Hart could answer Jim Chesnut's question, Ludor Flee, who couldn't contain his curiosity, asked, "What orders, Miss?""Special orders? How is that possible?" Dylan Chick also wanted to know.Camelia, who didn't want to be in that area for long, immediately replied, "Of course it's out of my control. I mean ... what the order was onl

  • The Strongest God of War   96. Orders from the King

    The young maid whose full name was Camelia Hart immediately lowered her head and replied timidly, "No, Your Majesty.""Yes, Your Majesty. I ... go first," Camelia said.The young girl turned to her companions, giving a code which was an invitation to leave the king's residence.The servants nodded and were about to follow Camelia. However, before they could take a step they heard Xylan's voice saying, "You stay here."They immediately turned around and with confused expressions stood silently. Meanwhile, the astonished Camelia Hart opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, I-""The one I ordered to meet Jim Chesnut was you, Camelia. As for them ... well, I still need them here," Xylan explained.Xylan's words seemed odd because he usually didn't want to be served without Camelia, but as if to reassure that there was nothing strange there Xylan hurriedly said, "I have something I want to do and I think they can help me. You ... just do the job f

  • The Strongest God of War   95. So What?

    Xylan Wellington did not immediately answer Ronald Wings' question. The viceroy looked thoughtful with furrowed brows."I ... can't confirm that yet," Xylan said, sounding hesitant.Ronald bit his lower lip. Uh, his words were actually the same as accusing one of the servants of betraying the king. Because, only the servant who was around at the time of his conversation with the king. However, all of the king's servants who were close to them at that time were women. Ronald felt that he had spoken wrongly.But, just as he was about to open his mouth to correct his words, Xylan said, "I will do something to check."Ronald widened his eyes, looking shocked. "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. What I said earlier-""What you said could have happened. Well, I think I have to consider many things. So, it's not a big deal if I have to check on the maids," Xylan cut off Ronald's words.The twenty-seven-year-old soldier blinked, looking surprised that Xylan could read what he was thinkin

    James shook his head, "I can't say right now."Reiner immediately let out a disappointed sigh. "You are ... making us curious.""Right, why can't you say it now?" Ben asked with a curious expression."Can't you give us just a little ... bright spot?" Shin tried to persuade hopefully.James chuckled softly, "Sorry, I really can't tell you guys right now, but ... I'm sure it won't be long before we know everything."Diego gave him an unsure look, "Will it be us or will it be you?"James flashed a bright smile, "Of course we all will.""I don't believe it," Alen said quickly.The war general blinked repeatedly and looked at each of his good friends with a puzzled look.He then pointed at himself with his right index finger and said, "You think I'm lying? Since when did I lie or break my promise?"Ben frowned and looked thoughtful. He looked up as if he was considering something.An exasperated James said, "Damn it! Do you have to think just to answer a simple question?"Diego held back a

    Ben immediately grimaced. Meanwhile, Alen and Shin laughed crisply together. Then, Diego pretended to look up.However, Reiner boldly replied, "It's not about feeling sorry for you. I ... just think Riley is too much."James clucked his tongue and took the empty seat next to Diego who immediately turned to him with the same look."That's his right," James replied, sounding casual."Rights? What right do you mean, the right to put his best friend in trouble?" Reiner replied cluelessly.James shrugged, "I've been causing him trouble for the past few years as well."Shin widened his eyes, "Hey, what are you talking about? What trouble? He-""I left this palace and let Riley handle all the problems in this kingdom by herself. I mean ... I know you guys have always been there for him and so many great warriors have helped him, but ... yeah it's still hard for him," James explained after cutting off Shin's words that he hadn't finished yet.

  • The Strongest God of War   92. How Long Do You Want to Wait?

    Reiner frowned when he saw James' expression which he found very strange. Moreover, he also saw how James' lips suddenly formed a smile."What's wrong with you?" Reiner finally chose to ask.James once again smiled at Reiner, making Reiner wink.Reiner also got goosebumps instantly. "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're going crazy, James!"A sigh was immediately heard from James. He snorted in exasperation, "Damn it! I still have hopes of meeting Riley, even if it's not now. Why should I go crazy?"Hearing that, Reiner let out a sigh of relief. Because, James' nagging was one of the ways that showed that his good friend was really just fine. "Then, why are you being like that? Smiling horribly. Very strange, just so you know! Not like your usual self," Reiner explained, who still looked a bit horrified.James grinned again, revealing his row of clean teeth. He then said, "Oh, it's about Gary Davis. You ... just made me realize something, Rei.""Realized? About what?" Reiner a

    Instead of answering James Gardner's question, Xylan Wellington said, "I ... I know what you're trying to say, General Gardner."Great, so what's the answer? Reiner thought, starting to feel lazy.James raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Your Majesty?"Xylan sighed softly, then closed his eyes for a few seconds. After regaining control of himself he replied, "It was my negligence, General Gardner.""Negligence? About what, Your Majesty?" James asked, sounding like he wanted a clearer answer."My sister. I ... know she has done wrong," Xylan said quietly.The viceroy bowed his head for a few seconds, while James remained silent, waiting for him to speak again.And without James pressing him, Xylan said, "I've actually noticed something strange about her. This ... even, before you set out to find my brother-in-law again, General Gardner."James' eyes widened instantly, but he still refrained from commenting.Xylan cleared his throat softly before continuing, "But ... even when I felt something wa

  • The Strongest God of War   90. James' Accusation

    Hearing the new war general's question, Xylan Wellington laughed awkwardly.It was a laugh that didn't really come off, in fact, it sounded so strange that it made anyone who heard the viceroy's laughter confused.Reiner also looked at Xylan with a strange gaze while James did not even blink. The look in his eyes showed a demand.A demand for an explanation from Xylan regarding what he had just said.When he saw that urgent questioning look, Xylan finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat softly before saying, "Hm ... I know from the main soldier.""The main soldier?" James repeated as he frowned.Xylan gulped and smiled clumsily, "The king's court soldiers, General Gardner."Oh, that wasn't really what James meant. He knew without even asking that the main soldiers were the palace soldiers specifically assigned to escort and guard him.There were usually five of them and one of them was required to stay by his side

  • The Strongest God of War   89. He Already Knows?

    James Gardner remained silent, giving no clear answer to Reiner's question.An immediate anxiety struck the ground war commander. Not wanting to be ignored by James, Reiner asked again, "James, tell me. Are you going to stay in the palace? You're not going to leave, right?"He looked anxiously at James who was staring out the car window. However, after he waited patiently enough he finally heard James answer, "I don't know."Reiner's heart was like being hit by a rock instantly."So ... are you leaving?" the man asked in a tone that sounded disappointed."It depends."Reiner, who was still staring at James, raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "Depends on what?"James sighed softly, "It depends on King Xylan's answer."Reiner was getting more and more confused. However, he did not have time to ask further as the car they were in had already entered the main gate of the Ans De Lou Royal palace. Even so, Reiner still did not want to give up so easily so he continued to stick to James e
