Chapter 344 l wish you luck, New General
"Soldiers of the Woods Dynasty, gather here as soon as possible!"
Early in the morning, while most of the soldiers were busy with their own work, a loud sound was heard and it attracted everyone's attention.
"This is an Order!"
The confused soldiers then moved quickly and soon, everyone gathered around 3 men who were looking at everything with wide smiles on their faces.
Seeing that everyone has gathered, one of the three men stepped forward and the coat he was wearing fluttered due to the wind.
Many soldiers frowned when they saw the coat that the man was wearing, however, every single one of them knew who this man was, therefore, they didn't dare to say anything out loud and continued to observe.
"I am sure many of you have countless questions in your mind.
What is Lord Finkelstein doing here?
Why is Lord Finkelstein wearing this coat that only the General is allowed to wear?
Why has Lord Finkelstein ordered us to gather here?
Don't worry, I will answer all your questions right now.
Now before I start, let me make a few things clear,
From now on, you are not going to address me as 'Lord Finkelstein', from now on, you all would address me as General Finkelstein!"
Finkelstein announced loudly and soon, the soldiers frowned.
"What? General Finkelstein? Why would he call him that?"
"Also, why is he wearing that coat?"
"Is he going to become the General as well?"
"Huh? How is that possible? How can there be 2 Generals in the Army?"
"Indeed, there must be something else."
"Is it one of General Finkelstein's games?"
"Hmm, that might be the case."
The soldiers started chatting with each other and,
"Silence!"
A loud roar was heard.
"…"
Silence fell over the area.
Finkelstein then looked at the soldiers in front of him and continued,
"You lot are not allowed to speak until I am done with my part, is that clear?"
"…"
No one answered.
"IS THAT CLEAR!?"
Finkelstein shouted and at the same time, he released his suppressing aura. His technique worked and the soldiers' bodies moved instinctively.
"Yes Sir!"
"Good."
Finkelstein praised.
No matter how one looked at this scene, although he did use a little force to do it, Finkelstein proved that he indeed had leadership capabilities.
"Due to some unforeseen events, General Ember Windstar will be retiring early and will no longer serve as the General of our Dynasty."
"!!!"
The soldiers' eyes widened in surprise.
However, before they could react, Finkelstein continued.
"General Ember has served the Army for 60 long years and has achieved countless things in this time. She is without a doubt one of the strongest and most successful Generals that has ever served our Dynasty,
However, now that she is leaving, the Dynast has given me this difficult task to fill the void she has left and become the next General of the Army.
Now, I call General Ember Windstar who would like to give her final goodbyes to her dear soldiers."
Finkelstein then turned in a certain direction and soon, a woman walked forward and stepped inside the encirclement.
"General Ember."
Seeing Ember standing right in front of her, Ember raised her eyebrows in surprise, however, soon, her surprise disappeared and she turned toward the Soldiers.
"Soldiers of the Woods Dynasty…"
Then, another speech followed.
Nux, who was observing everything from afar was surprised.
This Finkelstein, that man was smarter than he thought.
Unlike how he predicted that Finkelstein would act arrogantly and try to insult Ember, Finkelstein did the opposite and has been showing his 'respect' for Ember from the moment he arrived here.
That was a mature move on his part.
Nux, Thyra, and Ember were impressed.
"With this, I will be taking my leave,
However, I will leave my one last order here,
Do not die a wasteful death.
Is that clear?"
"YEAAAHHHH!!"
A roar countless times louder than before was heard.
Nux noticed a small twitch on Finkelstein's face, however, he quickly turned that into a smile and turned towards Ember.
"General Ember, Dynast has prepared these 2 escorts for you, they will take you to the Capital city safely, I have also prepared the carriage for you and have ensured that you will have a comfortable journey."
Finkelstein bowed as he pointed at the two men who were standing behind him.
Nux and Ember's expressions turned solemn when they saw the two Expert Stage Cultivators.
'Heh, Escorts my ass. Aren't they here just to keep an eye on me and ensure that I reach the Capital without any hitches?'
Ember thought inwardly and chuckled.
'Well, it's not like two Expert Stage Cultivators are going to make any difference.'
Ember's eyes then turned cold,
'The Dynast is just wasting 2 precious lives by sending them here.'
"That is very thoughtful of you, General Finkelstein."
Ember smiled.
Finkelstein smiled back and then he bowed his head,
"I hope you have a safe journey, General Ember."
'Just leave already, isn't that what those words actually mean?'
Ember chuckled.
'Don't worry, I'll don't plan on stalling for more as well.'
"Alright, I will be taking my leave then."
Ember smiled and then, she turned around.
Finklestein then looked at the two men he brought with him and nodded. The two men nodded back and then started following Ember from behind.
Finkelstein, the 3 Deputy Generals, and the soldiers did the same.
Yes, every single one of the soldiers wanted to escort Ember to the carriage, the situation would have become a big mess if the Deputy Generals hadn't made their moves and settled the soldiers.
"Have a great life ahead, General Ember. I hope your life as Dynast's concubine is fun."
Seeing that no one was around, Finkelstein looked at Ember with a big smirk on his face.
Ember just looked at Finkelstein and smiled,
"Be careful out there."
"Huh?"
Finkelstein frowned in confusion, however, Ember already entered the carriage and only spoke one thing,
"You know me, I wouldn't have given up if I wasn't in a hopeless situation. I just hope you can deal with what I, Ember Windstar, see as hopeless.
I wish you luck, New General."
Under the confused and doubtful expression on Finkelsten's face, the carriage started moving.
