Alen immediately shook his head, replying stammeringly, "N-nothing, General Reece."

Andrew Reece looked suspicious, but the war general chose not to discuss it too much.

He simply said, "Well, then please rest. Tonight you must listen to further war instructions from your seniors."

James frowned in surprise, but Riley first commented, "Will the war strategy be conveyed by the seniors to ... us as juniors, General?"

Andrew turned to Riley and smiled gently, "Yes. In thirty minutes, I will call the commanders along with some seniors to discuss the matter. Afterward, the seniors will call their colleagues and you as their juniors to explain what I have to say."

Listening to the explanation, James suddenly became somber. While Alen let out a long sigh, realizing that their situation was not good.

Meanwhile, Riley seemed to be as calm as ever and even replied, "Yes, General."

"Alright, relax first!" Andrew told them.

Before exiting the tent, Andrew walked towards Riley. James and Alen sta

    Riley was speechless, completely unable to refute James' words.The young man then let out a long breath.James sighed seeing Riley's soft gaze towards him, "Hey, listen. I know that my father did wrong, but ... that doesn't mean that people have the right to say that he's the worst general. Right? After all, he has protected this kingdom. He also risked his life.""I ... just hope that people not only see my father's faults, but also see what he had done. Is ... is my wish too much, Wood?" James continued with a desperate tone in his voice.Riley was saddened by James' small wish that so many people had never considered. But he still tried to respond by saying, "No. Your father deserves an honor. I understand."James froze in his seat but he did not give any reaction.Riley continued to say carefully, "But you also have to understand that not everyone thinks the same way, James.""I know that," James replied without turning to Riley.Not wanting to make the atmosphere uncomfortable,

    “Didn't I hear wrong?” a class two soldier commented in a surprised tone.While another also said, “How can an aspiring soldier get a chance to fight with the War General?”“You're right. Previously, none of the prospective soldiers could participate in the real battlefield, but now they can. Then what is this again? Joining the main army? It's unbelievable,” a class one soldier asked. He looked unhappy with the division of the soldiers. He even rolled his eyes when some soldiers praised James.James heard all the ramblings and still couldn't believe it himself. He then asked, “Are you sure you didn't misread, senior? It is impossible I am placed into-”“You think my eyesight is so bad that I can't read properly, Gardner?” the staff said in an offended tone.James was even more confused but he could not ask more. He knew from the staff's expression that he did not want to talk to him more.Riley saw that the situation might get out of hand due to that decision so he quickly said, “N

    Riley was silent for a few seconds and that immediately made Ben say again, “Which group does he belong to?”Riley reluctantly answered, “Group three, senior.”Ben sighed but nodded to himself. He was a little disappointed with the division of soldiers, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.“He doesn't seem sad or disappointed with the results,” Riley said, trying to make Ben much calmer.Ben smiled, “I know. He's never protested about the division of the group since long ago.”He paused for a few seconds and said again, “Well, sometimes he does say he doesn't like it or looks worried. But she really doesn't care about this kind of thing.”Riley understood it too, but strangely it was Ben who looked sad. The young man did not understand why Ben was lamenting Shin's fate.However, then Ben suddenly said, “Shin really wanted to be one of the medical staff.”Riley was wide-eyed in shock, “Why didn't you tell the commander?”Ben suddenly wore a sad expression, “He can't retu

    When the explosion was heard by the enemy troops, they immediately panicked. “What is this? They dare to attack us now?”“Didn't they just lose a lot of troops?”A fierce-faced war general of the Fermoza Kingdom quickly picked up his weapon in a bit of panic.He also shouted angrily at a man who was nervously touching his weapon, “War Councilor, what is the meaning of this?”The man growled angrily, “You said that they wouldn't dare attack us if we placed the war commanders in different places, in all the remote spots. You ... also believe this strategy will leave them confused.”“Then what is this? They even dare to attack this area,” the war general named Fabian Fermoza continued.The man was still quite young, still around thirty-three years old and he was one of the cousins of the king who was currently in charge.The king's advisor with trembling lips that had turned pale replied, “General, I don't think they would dare to do so. Andrew Reece ... is not a very smart person. He-”

    Philip deliberated for a while, still not deciding. The look in his eyes still showed a great deal of guidance.Alexander, on the other hand, didn't want to let the man think further or realize what he was losing.Besides, he didn't have much time so he really had to urge Philip to come up with a solution to the current mess. “What are you waiting for?” Alexander said with a half-suppressed annoyance.Philip moistened his lips and intended to reply, but Alexander suddenly interrupted him by saying, “Oh, it looks like you don't want to.”“M-Master. I-I'm ....”Philip looked startled as Alexander looked away.The war advisor also waved his hand and said in an offended tone, “I'm just giving you a good opportunity. If you really don't want this opportunity, I won't force you anymore.”Philip widened his eyes. Especially when he saw Alexander walking towards the exit in a hurry.As if realizing his stupidity, Philip quickly caught up with Alexander and said in a pleading tone, “Sir, I apo

    Riley was even stunned for about three seconds and almost took a shot to the heart if someone had pulled him out of the way too late.No one could blame a young soldier for feeling nervous when confronted with the highest-ranking officer in the enemy army.Anyone would have trembled in the face of a war general who was known to be more skilled than his men.That was also the case for Riley. But he wasn't afraid at all. He was just too shocked and a little nervous.The young man reflexively turned to the person who had saved his life and was surprised to recognize the person who always wore his protective helmet at a slight angle, “James.”“How did you get here? Shouldn't you be next-”James growled angrily, “What's wrong with you, why are you losing focus? Are you-”However, before he could finish his tirade against Riley, two bullets were fired at both of them simultaneously. The two didn't seem to have enough to say to each other, but they had to put their conversation on hold.Once

    As if guessing what action William Mackenzie would take, Andrew Reece said, “If he knew what was going on here, he would definitely choose to hide his son's identity indefinitely.”Greg Sehel wanted to argue, but he really couldn't think of anything that the best war general might do so he could only hope that complicated things wouldn't happen in the future.On the other hand, Riley and James still looked united, even sharing the task of taking down the war general of the Fermoza Kingdom.Some of the class one soldiers looked shocked at the bravery of the two young men.“Aren't they afraid to die?”“I don't think so. If they were afraid, the two of them wouldn't have advanced to that dangerous place.”Someone responded, “Never mind, just let them be. They are too stupid.” A class one soldier responded, “Fighting a war general? Only soldiers who want to die do that.”Some of the class one and two soldiers laughed mockingly at the two young men who were considered too brave. However,

    Riley immediately realized that his words had made James disappointed with him. Riley approached James carefully and patted his friend on the back. He then said, “No. I'm not afraid you'll imitate your father, James.”He paused for a moment before continuing, “You know ... anything can happen in war. Everything is possible. But ... what I mean is that you could lose self-control and kill him.”“After all, we have been at war for a long time and even this war is one of the longest wars ever fought in our kingdom. We are all tired, that's for sure. Out of exhaustion and frustration you could have done it.”James was still silent and looked at Riley as if he was judging him.However, Riley very calmly said again, “This has nothing to do with your father and I'm sure you're much different from him.”“Right?” Riley added, emphasizing the last sentence he said.Riley sighed and almost thought James wouldn't believe what he was saying. However, he was wrong. James nodded instead, “Yes, you

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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
