"It would be better if you see it for yourself, Lady Ember."
Deputy General Laurence stepped forward and spoke.
"Huh? Deputy General Laurence, I did not introduce them, how did you know Lady Ember's name?"
General Vidyut questioned.
Deputy General glanced at Vidyut and froze.
The moment his eyes fell on these 9 Ladies, the first person he noticed was this Black-Red haired.
He didn't need anything more than a glance to identify General Ember.
Her Aura was simply impossible to follow, a mere mask couldn't hide her.
The other Deputy Generals were the same, they all recognized General Ember.
However, the problem was that in others' eyes, 'General Ember' was at worse, dead, at best, Kidnapped.
She couldn't be here.
So he couldn't possibly tell General Vidyut about her.
"I have met Deputy General Laurence before."
As Laurence was placed in a difficult situation, Ember stepped up.
"Ah, so that's it." Vidyut nodded.
Ember nodded.
Then, she turned towards Laurence and spoke,
"I will follow your suggestion, Deputy General Laurence.
Guide me to other soldiers."
Laurence bowed his head and agreed,
"As you command, Lady Ember."
"I will be coming as well." Skyla jumped in.
Thyra didn't say anything but she stepped forward, signaling that she would be there as well.
The 3 Women then turned towards Vidyut and the General questioned,
"Do I need to come with you?"
He couldn't possibly be against Ember's decision. Checking on the Soldier's conditions was a good thing.
"No need to worry, we will manage it on our own.
It is already night anyways, we will start all the operations from tomorrow, General Vidyut should rest."
Ember then turned towards the other Assistant Generals and nodded,
"You all look tired as well, rest well, you all need to conserve your energies since our counterattack will start soon."
"As you command, Lady Ember."
The Assistant Generals nodded with excited looks on their faces.
Seeing 9 King Stage Cultivators today, they were all excited.
They could feel it, they would counterattack soon.
Soon, they would destroy the Solid Earth Army.
"Lady Ember, we would like to follow you as well."
The 3 Deputy Generals stepped forward and requested.
Ember nodded.
The 7 of them then walked out of the room.
"We will be taking our leave as well."
The General spoke.
"Rest well."
Amaya nodded.
The General and the Assistant Generals left the room.
After they left, Amaya's face turned serious and she spoke,
"I will contact Armando now."
Felberta nodded.
'Armando.'
Amaya contacted.
'Lady Amaya.'
The General of the Enemy Camp replied respectfully.
…
"It's been a file since I saw you fools."
As they walked out of the room and started roaming around the city.
"Lady Ember? What are you talking about?"
Laurence frowned and laughed awkwardly.
"Don't act like that you fool, you can trust them." Ember quickly understood what happened and replied.
"What? Did you forget about me already?"
Thyra questioned as her blue eyes shined.
"Y-Y-You are Thyra!"
Laurence's eyes widened in surprise.
"W-When did you become a King Stage Cultivator!?" Another Deputy General questioned.
Thyra just smiled and didn't answer the question.
The Deputy Generals were shocked.
"Is… Is that man here as well?"
Suddenly, Laurence questioned.
The man who managed to win the Fiery Killer's heart…
That man had left a deep impression in the Deputy Generals' hearts.
"No, he is not here."
Ember shook her head.
For some reason, the Deputy Generals' sighed in relief.
"Oi, what's with that reaction?"
Skyla couldn't control herself and questioned with a cold look on her face.
Though since her eyes were a little bigger than normal and the rest of her face was covered, she only looked even cuter than normal.
"N-Nothing." A Deputy General replied.
"General Ember, this Lady…" Laurence questioned.
"Skyla Leander, you can call me General Skyla." Skyla introduced herself with a prideful look on her face.
If Ellinger or Alcimus had heard her, they would have widened their eyes in surprise.
'She is a Leander as well! 3 King Stage Cultivators!'
That's what their reaction would have been.
Of course, no one knew how they would react if they knew that all the 9 women they met were Leanders.
"Anyways, let's not waste much time, Lawrence, give me a report of the current situation," Ember ordered.
"The situation is bad."
Lawrence spoke with a grim look on his face.
"I won't go into detail about the overall situation, that is bad enough already, but the situation of our soldiers isn't good either.
Their morale is at an all-time low.
When Finkelstein became the General, to improve the situation, he introduced some new rules, these rules completely ignored the soldiers' mental fatigue and forced them to work for longer hours.
Not only that, General Finkelstein put a complete stop to the consumption of alcohol, the only thing keeping the soldiers sane.
The men with high cultivation still managed to survive, however, the weaker soldiers got weaker and weaker.
The new General, General Vidyut, he is a good General who cares about his soldiers, however, he is still lacking and is kind of a pushover.
We tried to tell him to change some rules and revert back to your rules, however, the Assistant Generals, who feared that we would try to 'control' the Generals resisted."
"I can understand their position, if the General only listened to Deputy Generals without thinking much himself, then the situation would only get worse." Ember nodded.
"That is correct, we do not blame them. The problem is General Vidyut, he is still too lacking."
"I noticed that when I was talking to him as well. He didn't have the Aura that you possess but I ignored it because even that General Phorus didn't have your Aura." Thyra spoke.
"Tsk. You think any random King Stage Cultivator would be like me?" Ember snorted.
"Of course not! General Ember is the best General in the world!" One of the Deputy General spoke with a prideful look on her face.
The other Deputy Generals nodded without any hesitation.
Ember snorted and a small smile appeared on her face.
Looking at her expression, Thyra just smiled wryly and shook her head in defeat.
As they were talking, the group noticed a few soldiers who were keeping guard while their comrades were sleeping and as soon as Ember's eyes fell on these soldiers, her expression turned serious.
"This won't do…"
