"We are here."
General Vidyut spoke with a smile on his face.
"It would have been much quicker if we had just run," Ember commented.
"That is true, but I can't have our guest run while they visit us now can I?" General Vidyut laughed lightly.
"To think you were the one people from the Army were rough, you seem very tactful with your words," Felberta spoke as she glanced at Vidyut.
"Well, I became the General not too long ago, as you might know already, our Dynasty has lost 2 Generals in this War."
"From what I have heard, it makes sense to say that your Dynasty lost one of the Generals due to their sheer foolishness."
Evane couldn't help but comment.
She has always looked up to Ember Windstar.
And knowing what happened to her… well, although she is delighted Ember is now her sister because of this, she was still a little itchy about it.
"I would rather not comment on that."
General Vidyut just smiled.
"Anyways, let's not waste time now. Let's enter."
Ember spoke as she patted Evane's head at the same time.
Evane calmed down, Vidyut nodded in agreement.
"Lady Ember is right. Please follow me, I will take you to our base."
General Vidyut spoke and they all entered Ravenhill.
Soon, they all walked into the largest building in the city. It looked like the City Lord's Mansion, however, currently, the city was being abandoned by the citizens, many had already left, and the others were currently leaving under soldier's orders.
It was clear that the City Lord had already left.
Looking around, Skyla couldn't help but comment,
"The situation seems more serious than I thought."
"…"
Vidyut didn't say anything and walked into a particular room.
The women followed inside, there, they saw him standing behind a huge table that had the map of the city. : owner of this content.
"I know you all already have some information, however, let me summarize the current situation just to make sure that we all are on the same page."
General Vidyut spoke with a serious expression on his face.
The women nodded and the General started,
"The City we are in is called Ravenhill City, the Solid Earth Army has already taken over our 2 Forts, the Villages and Towns near them. We can say that our first-line defense has already been breached.
All the towns and villages that are between the Two Forts have been attacked and plundered by the enemy.
Ravenhill City is the only city that has strong Walls, this means that it is also our second line of defense. If we lose this to the enemy, all the Towns, villages, and cities behind us will be in danger and we would have to jump back to our last line of defense, the Capital City.
It is clear that we cannot lose this city, however, things are not positive.
The Solid Earth Army is hell-bent on attacking us with more than 30,000 Soldiers, in the end, Ravenhill is a city and not a Fort, therefore, we do not have any traps prepared for this situation.
The worse thing is that the enemy has set up Towers outside the Walls and is looking at all our activities from afar, not even giving us a chance to prepare for a new trap.
We only have 15,000 active soldiers, 20,000 of our soldiers are currently under medical care, and only 10,000 of them would be able to participate within a month, the rest would need more time.
As for the enemies, other than the 10,000 soldiers who attack us every day and the 20,000 who stay behind and rest, we don't know how many soldiers they have.
Currently, the enemies have higher numbers, higher morale, and better conditions."
General Vidyut explained.
"…"
"…"
Ember, Amaya, Evane, and the others turned silent.
"So to summarize…
You people are fucked, correct?"
Edda commented.
Everyone in the room turned towards the Tanned woman.
"W-What?"
Edda questioned.
"That is correct… the situation is dire."
General Vidyut admitted.
"How come do you not have any information about the enemy?"
Allura couldn't help but question.
"We lose contact with all the spies we send there and since the war between the two countries has turned even more serious, we are unable to deploy more spies."
General Vidyut replied.
Everyone in the room turned towards Ember.
This was the same problem she faced before.
Of course, when Ember was leading the Woods Army, the situation wasn't this bad.
"Alright, we have heard the situation. Now we would like to meet the Deputy Generals and other high-ranking soldiers."
Ember spoke.
"Of course." General Vidyut nodded.
A servant then walked into the room and General Vidyut ordered,
"Call all the higher-ups."
The Servant bowed his head and walked away.
Soon, all the higher-ups, 4 Deputy Generals, and 10 Assistant Generals walked away.
Seeing her previous subordinates, Ember's expression warmed up a little. Of course, she didn't recognize any of the Assistant Generals, however, the 4 Deputy Generals, she was glad that these fools were still alive.
At the same time, Amaya had started analyzing the new faces. They all looked tired, it was clear that they weren't in their best condition. From the sweat that still hadn't dried up, it was clear that they were still in Battle not too long ago, however, since there weren't any injuries, Amaya assumed that it wasn't a hard-fought battle.
"They are reinforcements from the Skyfall Kingdom, treat them as you would treat me."
General Vidyut spoke in a strict tone, completely different from the tone he used when talking to Nux's wives.
The Deputy and Assistant Generals were already looking at the women who were standing in front of them.
9 King Stage Cultivators…
They had never seen these many strong Cultivators in their entire life.
All of them quickly bowed their head and showed their respect.
'Any spies?'
Ember questioned Amaya.
'None.' Amaya replied.
'Alright.' Ember nodded and then stepped forward.
"I have heard enough about the overall conditions, I now need to know about our soldiers, how are they doing?"
Suddenly, Deputy General Laurence stepped forward and spoke,
"It would be better if you see it for yourself, Lady Ember."
