After commanding the city guards to keep eye on the supposed strong power and having no information if the strong powerhouse is hostile or friendly.
The general was sitting on the barracks of the military camp as she commanded the city guards to keep an eye out for the 3 potential threats to the kingdom.
This general sitting in front of a big table while looking at a magic crystal is one of the famous 4 guardians of the southern kingdom.
The four of them have different titles corresponding to the way they act, their personalities, the ability to lead an army, and their royalty to serve the kingdom.
The first general is called Pruinae the Knight of Cold Frost, a female general who uses the power of the ice system to it's very limit thus creating a technique called Arrival of Winter Frost. The Arrival of Winter Frost was created when the female general Pruinae was training in a big blizzard a long time ago that was located in the coldest environment called Winter Queen's Burial Ground a secret realm that opens once in a 100 years.
The second general is called Hiems the Demonic Queen of Winter, a female general who has a bloodline of the ancient frost demons known as Angelorum Nix. The female general completely awakened her bloodline when she constantly trained her body in countless inhumane training like burying her body under countless attacks from different ice techniques, skills, and spells.
The third general is called Nulla Glacies the Queen of Absolute Glazed Ice Flames, a female general who combines both ice and fire element to form a cold fire or named by her the Glazed Ice Flame. The female general could only combine her ice and flame elements by having them completely merge together using her soul and body as a medium to combine the two elements together, her soul is cold as winter while her body is blazing like flames from the sun.
The last general is called Iniussu Gelu the Undeceiving Stare of Winter Frost, a female general who uses the ice element to strengthen her eyes to see long-distance, predetermined persons action, and can see a person who is telling the truth or falsehood. The female general got her ability by gouging her eyes and replacing with the eyes of a winter beast called the Soul Iced beast that can see a bit of the future like an oracle but a very limited ability for the beast but Iniussu strengthen the beast eyes with the ice element and the eyes became more practical and her use of the ice element became top tier in the entire continent.
The general that is sitting on the in front of the round table while staring at the magic crystal is the fourth general Iniussu Gelu. The magic is crystal is formed by her ice magic that can oversee the whole kingdom but it cannot observe a very strong powerhouse as her magic will be nullified and completely excluding the powerhouse that can be seen in the magic crystal.
She was currently in deep thought as she heard the city guards' voice frighten tone in the transmission stone. She then pulled a scroll that was engraved in different glyphs of ancient text, she then tore the scroll and a bright light suddenly covered the ripped scroll and then slowly disappeared.
A minute later...
Three trails of light came from different directions of the city from east, west, and north. The trails of light then slowly disappeared and three female generals appeared in the entrance of the barracks.
There are three female generals standing in the entrance of the barracks one them is Pruinae the Knight of Cold Frost who is dressed in valiant frost armor as she stood with the helmet being gone presenting a frost cold beauty with white and blue color hair and ice crystal-like eyes that give the feeling of being stared down by a 100-year old winter beast. Her armor is made of cold-frost steel that was made by mixing cold steel and the essence of ice element to forge this kind of metal making it one of the strongest armor that can be produced by the current blacksmiths of the Winter Kingdom.
The one that is next to her is Nulla Glacies the Queen of Absolute Glazed Ice Flame, she wore a dress made of her own Glazed Ice Flame to cover her and protect from an assault that attacks her if that ever happens her dress will automatically attack the attacker with a burst of ice flames that wrap around the opponent burning him/her to a crisp.
The last general is Hiems the Demonic Queen of Winter, she wore a dress the same with Nulla but her dress is made of magical silk that was made by a grandmaster tailor in the Divine City. The dress was embroidered with snowflake patterns with a rose pattern in her chest, the dress reached to her knees with the sides being cut revealing a smooth slender legs that were like carved in jade. Her face is cold or distant even, eyes that seem to make one not look at her in the eyes, her hair that cascades to her waist that is colored by dark-blue with a tinge of sky blue color, and her two bountiful chests paired her round and supple bottom making her look a kingdom toppling level beauty but not close enough to Mia or Sarah's beauty.
As the three appeared in front of the entrance a soft voice then sounded inside.
"Come in, we have something to discuss as this may be very urgent to telling our kingdom if it either falls or be safe."
The three generals looked at each other and saw the solemn expression of each as they know their sister will not make false statements and this matter will be an important survival of the kingdom.
Then the three of them went inside the barracks and saw their fourth sister who has a solemn expression as she looks at the magic crystal in the middle of the table.
The table is in a rectangular shape which is about 4-5 meters long and a width of maybe 2 meters or wider, there were four chairs facing each at other. The two chairs we're at the end of each end of the table while the other we're in the middle side of the table.
The three generals sat at the in the vacant chairs and faced each other.
Hiems was facing Nulla, both of them were sitting at the end of the table while Pruinae and Gelu are facing each other at the middle side of the table.
After a minute or so silence...
"Today a strong powerhouse just entered the city with two women following him but the city guards are keeping an eye on them as we speak, so do you have any ideas on what to do in this matter?" Gelu spoke with a serious tone as she looks at her sisters waiting for their opinion.
The three sisters then fell into deep contemplation as they heard Gelu's words.
A moment of silence then dawned on them as they thought about the situation. The silence was then broken by their second sister Hiems.
"I think we should ask them their intention for coming to this kingdom. But we should also be careful about what we say to them lest we offend them by mistake and instead lead to a misunderstanding." Hiems said with a light voice.
The other three generals nodded slowly and expressed their understanding with this plan. But the first sister Pruinae then spoke with a calm voice.
"What if the other party doesn't want to talk but instead attack us immediately without revealing any information or just won't speak about their intention" Pruinae expressed her worries and looked at the three sisters.
The three of them then nodded heavily as they heard their first sisters reason.
"Then we should capture them and restrain their actions if they do so and also prepare every civilian to be evacuated if a battle suddenly occurs at the moment of notice," Gelu said lightly and looked at her sisters waiting for their answers.
The three of them expressed their approval and looked at Gelu awaiting her instructions.
She knew that they agreed with her plan and slowly stood up and said to the three of them.
"Let's go meet the supposedly strong powerhouse and his companions, also prepare a message to her Royal Highness if something goes awry and let her prepare to evacuate at the moments notice do you understand?"
"Understood sister!"
Three of them said in unison and prepared the necessary actions when something goes out of plan.

Autumn, Mia, and Sarah were oblivious to the Four Generals' actions towards them even if he knew he wouldn't even look at them and just straight up ignore them like a piece of trash on the side of the road.
But right now Autumn, Mia, and Sarah were exploring the different goods that were being sold in the trading market as they look at the different kinds of treasures, pets, jewelry, ores, weapons, armors, etc.
Autumn was simply bored at this point as he experienced this countless times in the mental world. As for the goods the merchants were selling, in Autumn's eyes, the goods they are selling cannot be even compared to the lowest quality materials in the mental world. But Sarah and Mia were different as these was the first time they got to experience a trading market so Autumn just let them explore while he just follows behind thinking of how to decrease the amount of time he needs to practice to reach the entry-level of a technique that he had been eyeing for in the system shop.
System Shop
Masterful Art of Weapons- can produce any kinds of weapons using your energy, killing intent, grudge, killing energy, and Qi to help you fight your opponents in unexpected ways. The skills toughness, hardness, sharpness, flexibility, power, etc. depends on the amount of energy you put into them, the higher quality and quantity your energy is the better the quality is the weapons that are made. Note the weapons created by skill can compare to a Divine weapon-grade if there is enough energy to fuel the skill. Cost 220,000 Killing Energy.
This is the skill that Autumn is eyeing for in the shop, he already bought the skill but had no time to practice it. If you are wondering how he got that many points well he killed a lot of beasts before arriving at the city, the levels of the beasts varied from one another being the lowest at War Spirit while the highest being a War Sage. His Killing Energy before buying the skill is 309,789 and now his current Killing energy is 89789.
It may seem that Autumn bought a technique that can be considered a waste of money. But it's the opposite as a technique can be either powerful or weak but it may be even weaker to a person who has a technique that is suitable to their needs.
Autumn needs right now is a weapon that does not need constant care and can be used again if broken so Autumn bought this skill even though there are tons of weapons in the system shop. But the price of the weapons in the system shop is thrice the price of a cultivation technique than simply buying an Earthly grade weapon. So the technique is more cost-effective in Autumn's opinion.
As Autumn was thinking about where to practice and test out his new skill while also keeping Mia and Sarah entertain at the same time and keeping his promise to them.
The four generals of the Winter City is heading towards their direction as we speak with tens of thousands of soldiers following behind them.
