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
The soldiers were waiting for the legend to greet them. William Mackenzie then smiled, "You guys, go back to your seats again!" "Remember, you're still on the plane," Bill continued, warning. Actually, they could have reused their bus that was parked at the border area earlier. However, the crown prince of the Fleshy Kingdom lent them their airplane to take them back to the Ans De Lou Kingdom as a favor. Thus, they could now relax a little more before returning home. Obediently, all of Bill's men sat back down in their respective places. Bill, who was now standing, began to say, "You know who I am now, but there is one thing I want to ask you." The hundred soldiers listened carefully. There was nothing more rewarding for them to meet the great legend again. "You are the only ones who know my true identity, along with my face that was previously hidden behind a mask." Bill paused again, sweeping his gaze over the soldiers who were now looking at him seriously. "Right now I wa
"Secretary of the palace, losing or winning a war is a common thing." Bill answered without stopping walking. "How could you lose?" Amanda replied in disbelief. Bill again replied casually, "I'm only a human, Amanda. Of course I can lose." Amanda shook her head, "No way. You ... never lose at all. I don't believe anyone can beat you. You ... oh, tell me what happened exactly?" Bill said again, "Let's just say he's better than me." "How can anyone be better than you? I've never found one. A God of Death like you can lose? That's impossible," Amanda added, looking incredulous. But then Amanda quickly shut her mouth and realized that many of William Mackenzie's soldiers were listening to her. She suddenly panicked. She said, "Bill. I didn't mean to." However, Andrew Reece said in a soothing tone, "You don't need to worry, Palace Secretary. All the soldiers who went with the general already know his true identity. Hearing Andrew Reece's words, Amanda gaped in shock. She stammere
"Are you sure you can win over that small kingdom, General Gardner?" Keannu asked, wanting to make sure. Jody Gardner immediately replied with confidence, "Of course, Your Majesty. I will get the victory that General Stewart could not." Keannu Wellington looked satisfied at Jody Gardner's answer. However, despite this, Keannu still felt that something was very off. While the young king was thinking, Bill spoke up again, "Your Majesty, why do you insist on defeating that kingdom? Wouldn't it be better to face another kingdom, Your Majesty? Why spend money on that war?" "For what? Have you forgotten that our defeat was your fault, General Stewart?" Jody Gardner said. Keannu asked Jody Gardner to shut up, while he replied, "Then, what is your solution to this problem, General Stewart? You have already lost to the Fleshy Kingdom. What can you do now?" William Mackenzie was pleased that his king was provoked. "Your Majesty, I did lose to that one kingdom. But, that doesn't mean I w
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
