“As for how to make the soldiers listen to my orders,
You don’t need to worry about that,
I believe I am more than capable to do so.”
Ember replied and unconsciously, a heavy, dominating aura was released from her body.
General Vidyut was taken aback.
Ellinger, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel strange.
This woman…
He felt like he had seen her before.
Her Black Red Hair, those Fiery Crimson eyes, and now this suppressive Aura…
All these characteristics matched a woman he knew.
The two of them were way too similar.
To the point that Ellinger doubted that this woman… might actually be the woman he knew.
“You still haven’t introduced yourself, Lady from the Skyfall Kingdom.”
Unable to contain his curiosity, Ellinger questioned.
Ember’s smile widened as he introduced herself,
“My name is Ember Leander.”
Hearing her name, Ellinger’s eyes widened in surprise.
However, before he acted, another thing bothered him.
Amaya’s full name was Amaya Leander as well.
Leander…
Two King Stage Woman had this as their family name, however, Ellinger had never heard of Leander Family.
A family that has 2 King Stage Cultivators should be a well-known family, knowing that he has never heard of this family alerted Ellinger and he decided to hold back and spoke,
“Please excuse my ignorance but I have never heard of Leander Family before…”
“We rose to prominence recently, it is natural that you don’t know about us,” Ember replied, then, her expression turned a little fierce and she continued,
“Of course, that doesn’t mean we can be underestimated.”
“O-Of course, of course.”
Ellinger started to laugh as well.
‘I would be a fool to underestimate a family that is capable of producing 2 King Stage Cultivators.’
He thought inwardly.
At the same time, he decided not to pursue this matter further.
Even if this woman in front of him was Ember he knew, he didn’t care.
Or more appropriately, he didn’t have any plans to go against the Leander family, not when he is already tied up from all directions.
“Alright, I will agree to your conditions.
As long as you manage to convince Woods Soldiers, you can have the command of the army.”
Alcimus spoke.
“However, since we are tight on time, I don’t think we should waste time in creating another deal, I hope you show your trust in me and sign the current deal.”
Amaya thought about it for a while and nodded,
“Alright, since Lord Alcimus decided to trust the Skyfall Kingdom, we will place our trust in Lord as well.”
The reason was simple.
The new deal only stated that the Woods Army would participate in the war.
It never stated who would lead that.
So even if they lead it right now, the Woods couldn’t claim that they broke the Treaty.
“Alright, since the negotiations are complete, we would like to head to the Battlezone.”
Ember spoke.
It has been a long time since she last walked into a Battle Zone, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that she was excited.
“So soon? You can rest here for a few-”
Ellinger was about to speak, however, Ember interrupted.
“We are already tight on time, we need some time to prepare our new Battleplan as well. I would appreciate if Dynast would let us leave right now.”
Hearing her words, Ellinger was now sure that this Ember was Ember Windstar he knew.
However, he just decided to smile and nodded,
“Alright then, General Vidyut, I will leave everything to you.”
General Vidyut stepped forward,
“It would be my honor,”
Then, he turned towards the ladies and,
“Please follow me. I will take you to our stronghold.”
The women nodded.
The General walked out of the Hall and the woman followed behind him.
As the women left, Ellinger’s face turned solemn as he spoke,
“Grandfather, do you recognize that Black Red-haired woman?”
“She was that General that you liked.”
Alcimus replied.
“So you did recognize her.” Ellinger nodded.
“Of course, there is no way that stupid mask can hide her aura. Also, it wasn’t like she was particularly trying to hide her identity. Changing the color of your hair and your name isn’t really difficult.” Alcimus spoke.
“But wasn’t she kidnapped? Was it the Skyfall Kingdom who kidnapped her?”
Ellinger questioned.
“With a temperament like hers, she would never decide to side with the people who kidnapped her.”
“Then did the Skyfall Kingdom save her from those Kidnappers?”
“That is a possibility.
She is not a child, she must have known what you were planning after stripping her of her position, even a fool won’t return to the Dynasty when they have another Kingdom offering their support.”
Alcimus spoke as he narrowed his eyes.
Ellinger gulped in fear, however, he quickly controlled himself and questioned,
“I-Isn’t that akin to betraying the Kingdom? What if she leaks our secrets to the Skyfall Kingdom?”
“Don’t try to shift the blame, Ellinger.
A King Stage Cultivator left our Dynasty because of your foolish actions.
Man up, and take the responsibility for it.
Also, do you really think the Skyfall Kingdom needs to know your Army Secrets in order to defeat you in a Battle?”
Alcimus questioned.
“…”
Ellinger turned silent as he recalled that the Skyfall Kingdom had a minimum of 12 King Stage Cultivators in their rank.
“If the two countries fight in a battle without the Emperors involved,
The Skyfall Kingdom would absolutely destroy the Woods Dynasty.”
Alcimus spoke.
“…”
Ellinger turned silent.
‘Even the Emperors were involved, the result won’t change…’
He wanted to say these words out loud, however, he knew he wouldn’t live to see another day if he did therefore, Ellinger held himself back.
“Anyway, don’t bother thinking about useless things.
She is not Ember Windstar anymore.
She is now Ember Leander.
We have lost her, so forget about her.
Also,”
Suddenly, Alcimus’s face turned even solemn and he spoke,
“Try to investigate this Leander Family.”
“As you say, Grandfather.”
