[@yousureimnotarobot]

Hi all, I'm already three chapters into the sequel. It's up on my Patreon atm but I'll begin posting it to HFY soon.

[@AgroSquerril]

pinned for all to see :)

[@dantreadwell7421]

Sweet.

[@GrimpakTheMook]

Can't find the links, can you post them, please? edit: I am blind. found them lol.

[@kirkjones9639]

Reminds me of a General I served under in the Marines. I spent a little over two years of my mispent youth in Quang Nam, with Echo Co. 1St. Recon Bat. I swear the Army and McNamara's wiz kids, never caught on too the Vietnamese secret weapon used against them. The bicycle. Johnson just had to have his war.

[@Cadiangrunt99]

ooo there's more awesome!

[@reggiehigh22]

...when the best one you have is telling you about the whole situation and not to fight...but still loyal enough to have to order troops to kill him...there is the point you throw a coup

[@anthonypreston8355]

I like to think that is what is happening, and they open fired on the king instead.

[@stevenweaver3386]

@@anthonypreston8355 me too. I read it that the king was the one executed.

[@Nevir202]

That's what I was waiting for, the order for the executioners to fire on the king. Would show they actually learned something.

[@Wiromax3]

In my head the execution squad, on the order to fire, abruptly turn their guns on the king...

[@shinraset]

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

[@Allantitan]

@@shinraset same the king seemed to stupid to rule

[@McSkumm]

Yup.

[@ndt_dynamite2247]

There's a sequel to this, so I'd bet you're right.

[@ianhogben3472]

Armies do not belong to kings but to commander's

[@ilovecoffeev]

Hmmmm... This somehow seems relevant to modern times. "You can never win a war against an enemy who doesn't wear a uniform... "

[@angrydragonslayer]

I mean... As history shows, You can, it just takes 100-200 years of stable occupation and propaganda

[@Preaplanes]

You can, you just have to be willing to slaughter the populace. The USA isn't. And collateral damage doesn't fucking count.

[@mrmaxwell346]

Laughs in byzantine blinding.

[@Preaplanes]

@Kenric Young 1: "Civilian" 2: Let me know when it hits 400,000,000.

[@Preaplanes]

@Kenric Young You want to win against an ideology, that's how it's done. You CAN win that war. Whether you want to or not is an entirely different story. Get over it.

[@kurtismiller9544]

You have to Know who actually was executed that day, and it was NOT the commander.

[@ameliarosealdridge6468]

RIP that king

[@hutgaming]

Ah how military coup d'etat's start... order the military to kill a war hero with more respect from them then you and they'll kill you a put him in your place...

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Indeed. I like to imagine the king looking at them in surprise before being pelted.

[@GrimpakTheMook]

@@hutgaming kill who? The guy that managed to bring survivors back from a suicide op or the guy that sends soldiers to die for another badge? Survivors tend to be loyal to the ones that saved them.

[@michaeldayman682]

The Lady or the Tiger. Similarly the ending is "left to audience interpretation " but the author signals their opinion fairly clearly. I think the author of "A teachable Moment" has a better grasp of subtly than the aforementioned one.

[@Monster_Ink]

"may the very dirth reject his bones" XD The one liners in this are golden! loved his attitude! For the algorithm!

[@ndt_dynamite2247]

A king who repeatedly chooses war to prove his worth with, has repeatedly proven himself to be worth nothing.

[@kennethhummel4409]

Always teach to the end. Someone always needs a lesson.

[@Destroyer_V0]

I would love to hear a possible sequel to this. Possibly going into more detail about the species, and how events took place post war. *Also wonders if humans had anything to do with the events that take place once this story ends*

[@jessehenson8923]

A sequel went up today on reddit.

[@yousureimnotarobot]

@@jessehenson8923 only because you all seemed interested, hope you liked it

[@jessehenson8923]

@@yousureimnotarobot Well, you did a damned good job, wordsmith.

[@matthewklestinski7030]

This is the story of a King about to lose his tail. Suddenly, violently, deservedly.

[@silvadelshaladin]

Then they all fired at the king and a new chapter opened for their civilization.

[@alfredsutton7233]

That was a wonderful but sad story. Thanks to the author, to the reader, and to my fellow listeners.

[@calvingreene90]

Ready, aim, about face, fire.

[@dresetfrostwood8449]

(Salute) well done soilders

[@jamiemezs9891]

That was the best story yet. Good bye Commander. And teacher.

[@Allantitan]

Plot twist the firing squad weren’t facing the commander when they raised their weapons 😂

[@jamiemezs9891]

@@Allantitan To that BS king I hope so 👍

[@calvingreene90]

The King has fallen. LONG LIVE THE KING! May this hero bring us peace.

[@royalroses123]

Ohhhh they f**ked up alright...

[@travisz59]

That's a good one, the name pf the characters where a bit confusing. But amazing writing.

Bad Kings cause good men to die.

[@johntaco861]

Bad kings also get stabbed in the back or poisoned by their servants eventually

I want a masterclass by the Commander. I have 0 doubts he would be treated as a hero by humans in different circumstances.

For the "AGRORITHM "

[@sherylcascadden4988]

A comment to appease the algorithm and help the channel.

[@Inufan2005]

Every time I listen to this I like to think that before he can get shot the King gets Sniped.

[@danijelandroid]

I can remember this 'story' ending different. The Commander is sent in exile and joins(?) the humans. It probably was another story.

[@got2kittys]

This is a timely story about past, present, and future fools that are rulers.

[@13thBear]

Politicians. Despicable.

[@darkhorse13golfgaming]

And awesome and sad story that hit me right in the veteran lol. Still....one wonders....who did the honor guard end up firing on?

[@Warutteri]

I hope you're planning on doing the continuation of this story too at some point, the story gets really good in the sequels 😁

[@AgroSquerril]

I will check it out

[@Warutteri]

@@AgroSquerril I love how clearly dedicated and passionate you are about your channel, you keep interacting with your audience a lot and clearly check you comments even on some older videos of on a regular basis, I'm truly honoured to be your Patron and I will raise my contribution to tier 3 on Thursday when I get my next paycheck because not only do I want to support your amazing videos but I want to access some of them ahead of time where possible 😊 Which platform would you prefer BTW, KZbin or Pateron for that? I would like as much of the money as possible to go to you instead of some middlemen in either company 😘

[@AgroSquerril]

@@Warutteri Thank you kindly. I try keep a handle on the comments where I can. Patron is the better one for that.

[@merlinathrawes746]

And I wonder WHO they aimed and fired at?

[@gemmel3197]

This needs a sequel where they shoot the king instead.
