He was loved by both generals and soldiers which gradually cultivated his own power. 　　Hearing he was brave and invincible, as long as the enemy heard his name, they would be frightened and would retreat. 　　It was said that in just three years, he opened up territories for the Western Kingdom, conquered more than ten cities and captured more than 80,000 prisoners. 　　He finally got his wish and became a general. 　　He told me in the letter that he had already asked for my father’s permission to get married and that my father promised him that he would agree when he takes over the North. 　　"My Lisa, you must wait for me," Zach said in his letter. 　　He called me his Lisa and he said he would marry me as his wife.
