Ember looked at the soldiers' conditions and a frown appeared on her face.
"This won't do…"
She commented.
The soldiers she saw had deep dark circles under their eyes, they weren't drunk, however, their back was still hinged and their soldiers were hanging.
What was worse?
Ember recognized these soldiers.
All of them followed her commands when she was the General.
All these soldiers were once filled with valor and life. They walked with a straight back and bright looks on their faces.
Even when the situation of the War was bad, the soldiers still didn't look this down.
To be honest, their current situation was so bad that they looked no different than a malnourished commoner.
To see her soldiers looking so weak…
It was a big shock for Ember.
Of course, she had considered this possibility when she left with Nux, however, things would be this bad…
She didn't expect it.
"Is the situation the same for all the soldiers?" Ember questioned.
"More or Less."
Deputy General Lawrence replied.
Ember then turned towards Lawrence and narrowed her eyes,
"Looking at your appearance, I didn't expect that the situation would be so bad."
Hearing those worse, Lawrence lowered his head in shame.
"I couldn't do anything."
"…"
Ember didn't say anything and continued with her walk.
She met more soldiers as she walked around and just like Laurence said, all the soldiers were in the same condition. Tired and hopeless.
Their morale was indeed at an all-time low.
After walking around for 2 hours, Ember finally decided to return to the Mansion. She ordered Lawrence and the other Deputy General to go rest while she walked into the Mansion.
"How was it?"
Amaya questioned.
"Worse than I expected."
Ember shook her head.
Amaya glanced at Ember and questioned.
"How much time do you need?"
"Things are too deep, I will improve the situation of the soldiers considerably in a few days, but they still won't be as good as they were in their prime," Ember replied.
"That's alright. We had to do it all on our own anyways, having extra hands is not a problem." Amaya nodded.
"How was the talk with Armando?" Ember questioned.
"Hmm? You should have heard it though?" Amaya tilted her head in confusion.
When she contacted Armando, she made sure that all her sisters were able to listen and even take part in the conversation.
"My mind was preoccupied so I didn't listen," Ember replied.
"Alright, that's not a problem, I was about to repeat what he said while discussing my plan anyways.
At the very least, the good news is that Alcimus won't have to take part in the War, so things won't get messy."
"So Herms is…"
"Yes, he is not there. I asked where he is, but as usual, Armando didn't know." Amaya nodded.
"It is not exactly a good thing though, we need to know what that bastard is planning as well." Felberta interrupted.
"Let's just leave those things for later, just focus on the War right now." Evane stepped in.
"Have you informed Nux?" Ember questioned.
"I have. He is a little relieved hearing that Herms is not here, but he still told us to keep our guards up." Evane replied and Ember nodded.
"Anyways, Ember, I would like you to take the role of the General of the Army."
"Leave that to me." Ember nodded.
"Alright, now let's discuss our plan."
…
"Let's see how long these Woods Bastards can stay behind this Wall! We will break this Wall and take over the City!"
"YEAHHH!!!"
As the sun rose, the 10,000 soldiers of Solid Earth Army rushed towards the City with high morale.
"Woods Soldiers! Let's show these bastards that we are not weak! Defend Ravenhill with everything you have!"
"Hoooo!!"
On the other hand, the 15,000 soldiers of the Woods Army, were all deployed on the City Walls, trying their best to defend against the soldiers who were trying to break through their gates.
3000 Soldiers stood behind the Gate, ready to stop the army in case the Gate is breached, and defending the Gate, 6000 Soldiers were standing on the Walls, shooting arrows at the soldiers trying to enter the City. 3000 Soldiers were there solely for collecting more arrows while the last 3,000 stood on the wall, killing any enemy soldier who managed to climb up the Wall.
The Soldiers with higher ranks ordered the ones with a lower ranks while just the presence of General Vidyut mentally supported all the soldiers.
It was a proper system of defense where the distribution of the soldiers was good and placed less pressure on each soldier.
The 9 Women of the Skyfall Kingdom, however, didn't participate in today's war.
According to the deal, they would only take part in the battle 8 days later. Currently, they only observed.
The battle continued, since it was just the first phase where the Gates weren't breached, and no soldier lost his life.
On the Solid Earth Kingdom's side, around 500 Soldiers were injured, however, just like Woods, they didn't lose any soldiers either.
The sun set down, and the Solid Earth Kingdom retreated.
The Woods Soldiers sighed in relief.
They could finally take a rest now.
Or that's what they thought, however, 30 minutes after the war ended, the soldiers were summoned to the City Centre.
One by one, the city center started filling with soldiers, since it didn't have enough space to contain all the soldiers, some soldiers have to climb onto the roofs of the nearby houses.
All the soldiers noticed 9 masked women standing on the Stage along with General Vidyut.
The Deputy and Assistant Generals were standing below the stage.
Normal and Head Soldiers wondered who these women were, the Squad Captians, who could sense these women's cultivation, however, were tensed.
Seeing their captain act like this, the soldiers were even more curious but didn't dare to speak anything.
Suddenly, a black red hair woman with red eyes stepped forward,
"My name is Ember Leander, I came here from the Skyfall Kingdom, to help you all turn the tides and win this battle, these women here are my comrades.
All of us are King Stage Cultivators, so we are more than enough to annihilate the Solid Earth Army."
Hearing those words, the soldiers' eyes widened in surprise.
9 King Stage Cultivators!
This was already shocking, however,
Ember had yet to drop the main bomb,
"From this day onwards,
I will be the acting General commanding you all.
Let's destroy the Solid Earth Army within 2 Weeks."
Ember looked at the soldiers' conditions and a frown appeared on her face.
"This won't do…"
She commented.
The soldiers she saw had deep dark circles under their eyes, they weren't drunk, however, their back was still hinged and their soldiers were hanging.
