The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 53 - THE MAN OF CHOICE

“ Why should I kill him? “ protest Gardden.

“ Hurry Gardden!!! Hash his head!!! “ General half yelling at Gardden.

“ Alright!! “ Gardden who did not really understand finally obeyed the order of the General. Then Gardden stood beside the giant man.

“ HHYYAAA!!!.” shouted Gardden echoed as his sword swings.

NOAH!!!....

With all his might, Gardden managed to decapitate the leader of Fangs' army.

Gardden took the head of his enemy that had been separated from his body, then raised it high.

“ HEY FANGS TROOPS!, YOUR LEADER HAS DIED!, STOP THE FIGHT, SURRENDER!“ Gardden shouted loudly, and made the entire Fangs army stop the fight.

“ FANGS ARMY, REMEMBER YOUR AGREEMENT EARLIER!, IF YOU LOSE, THEN YOU MUST SUBMIT TO US!! “ The general who rode his horse shouted to the rest of the Fangs army.

“ Hey stupid!!, who approved the deal!, We never agreed!“ one of Fangs' large-bodied forces tried to refute the General.

The general just hinted his hand up and pointed at the man who spoke earlier, Suddenly ten poisoned arrows were pointed at him and instantly he died horribly with a blue body exposed to poison.

All of Fangs' remaining troops had widened his eyes looking at his dead comrade in an instant. They all seemed silent and a little scared.

One of them moved forward towards the General. He opened his wolf-shaped headgear, then bowed before the General who was still on horseback.

“ We are willing to submit and obey you Sir!.what should we do now?!” the big man faced the general.

“ Good!, be my army! Join the Drake fortress!.and never betray, if one of you betrays us or fights us, we will destroy all of you! “ said Jendal in a loud voice.

“ We will return to the Oleic continent in three or four days, then in that day prepare you to come with us to the Drake Fortress in the Oleic Continent!“ The general added his explanation.

“ GOOD SIR!!! “ Simultaneously whole army Fangs replied.

The general and his army returned to the castle with his victory that night.

After they had cleared themselves and rested, the General, Gardden, Ziggo, Leon, Lizo, Ryon and Captain Earl were asked to meet the King who was still lying sick.

They meet King and Princess Charlotte in the King's room.

The king looked at them with a smile, his back resting on a soft, slightly erect fur pillow on the side of the bed rest.

“ I thank you so much for you guys who have successfully crippled Fangs' army. As a form of my gratitude, I want to give you a gift..Charlotte, where is the gift?…” King of South Gozan turned to his daughter and as if asking for something from his beloved son.

“ This is father..” Princess Charlotte gave her father a rather large box of chests, then the King opened it.

“ This is a pearl-plated dagger, a royal sign for appreciation for fighters, take it.” The king gave one by one a luxurious pearl-plated dagger to the men before him.

“ And this.this is the royal sword, which the warriors have used for this kingdom.This sword I will give to someone who has killed the leader of the army Fangs.." The king displayed an armored sword with luxurious decoration on the handle and sheath.

The general pushed Gardden's body slightly forward.

“ He was the one who killed the noble Fangs army leader.” The general said behind Gardden.

“ You're so brave, what's your name ? “ Ask the King.

“ I am the glorious Gardden “

“ Well Gardden, I give this sword to you as a token of gratitude to the kingdom of South Gozan for your help and courage, please accept Gardden. “.

“ Thank you very much your majesty, I received this sword.” Gardden received the luxurious sword with both hands.

“ Ohya, another one.as the most precious gift is.My daughter Charlotte is willing to marry one of you, I will announce it as soon as possible “ muttered the King in a slightly raucous voice.

Hearing the news that all the men there looked excited except for the General, he instead seemed to think of something.

“ Alright, I want to rest first..Charlotte, please take them to his place“ the father ordered his daughter.

“ Luzen, who do you think will marry that beautiful princess? “ said Gardden while saving his gift sword.

“ I don't know. but I wish he was the one who killed the leader of Fangs.” The general smiled slightly at Gardden.

“ But my hunch says the person the princess will marry is the one who managed to defeat the Fangs leader, not the one who killed him “ both then laughed, but in the middle the General immediately stopped his laughter.

“ I'm still thinking about Merlin Gard, marry princess Charlotte before she's captured the next troop.”.

“ Which team do you mean ?” Ask Gardden.

“ Don't know, but if he is too long alone then many will go after him and make him a wife, better he falls into your hands is not?.you too can be King Gard.” The general patted Gardden on the shoulder, but Gardden seemed unsure of what his best friend said.

The next morning, on a cold day…

A royal guard called the general who was alone taking care of his horse.

“ Mr. General, you are called by his Majesty and he is waiting in his room “

“ Me?.ah yes, well I will be there soon “ General hastily cleaned his hands and get ready.

In the room of King Gozan South, the General was asked to take a chair and sit beside the King who was lying down.

“ You're a General aren't you?”.asked the King.

“ Ah,.iya noble.Iya I was a General “.

“ I already know you are the one who has defeated Gozan Timur.you are truly great General “ said the King back.

“ Turns out you already know your majesty, It's all also thanks to the help of the troops, I will not be able if my entire army does not participate.

“ Hmm...General, do you know why I called you here? “

“ No noble, I don't know “ yet

“ My daughter Charlotte, very many want her to be made a wife, but from the dozens of men who came to me, none of them managed to melt her heart.

You've seen me dying, just waiting for my death to come.But before my death, I want to see my daughter married to her pillow man, whom she truly loves. Whoever she is, it doesn't have to be from among nobles or princes, I will accept her as my daughter-in-law as long as my daughter does choose her, because I believe her choice is the best for this kingdom. “

The general listened carefully and seriously.

“ If my daughter has chosen her future husband, then I want to marry them immediately, because I will soon crown her as my successor King, and the man will rule Southern Gozan with my daughter Charlotte “.

“ Yes start, I understand ” said General.

“ Do you know who my daughter chose? “ Ask King.

“ I don't know for sure your highness, but I hope Gardden my best friend who was chosen to be your daughter's future husband.“ The general tried to tell the king.

“ Have you married the General? “ Ask the King back.

“ Em, currently not a noble, I have been married but my wife has died ” explained General.

“ Hmm, why do you expect Gardden to be chosen by my daughter? “ The King looked at the General with a frown.

“ Because Gardden is a good man, he is very brave and with his courage he managed to kill the leader of Fangs, and also he is my noble friend, I know that he.

“ Well, who likes my daughter is not only Gardden General, but dozens of men like her..but you need to know.the one my daughter likes and admires is only one.”.

“ ie.. You're General Luzen.”

The deg!...

Jendal was out of words, he was silent.His head was like a firefly.he was not happy to hear it, but it was like a heavy burden came on his head.
