Arriving at her destination, Ruo Hua Heng lift out from her horse patting the dust on her close when a certain and familiar voice called her.
"Chen Diyu greets General Rou" Chen Diyu clasp his fist and bowed at her
"En" she greets him
"Diyu, gather all the soldiers to the court I want to see them" she ordered
Chen Diyu was taken aback for a while because this was the first time his General referred to him as "Diyu" rather than his full name, and it was also the first time the General wanted to see somebody other than them. After that, he saluted him and left immediately, before the General would return to her words.
~"He's so fast ah did I scare him?"~ Hua Heng thought
The soldiers were divided into two groups on the large battle court. The sudden summons of their General bewildered and surprised them all.
"Hey, the General today is calling us do you know why?" Someone whispered
"Don't ask me I don't know too ah even our high commander Chen Diyu was surprised"
"Shhhhh! The two of you shut up! The General is coming" Du Fang hissed silencing the whispering people
"Yes!" The two people salute when they are discovered
"Hmph! Don't speak loudly everybody can hear the two of you whispering ah " Du Fang added and turn to the side of Chen Diyu
The soldiers wanted to argue with their second commander.
We don't even hear them whispering ah, you are just eavesdropping! why blame us! They spoke to their mind while the two soldiers wiped their tears
Ruo Hua Heng stands on a platform and looks at her soldiers with her cold eyes as she scans them up and down.
~Hmmm...They have an impressively muscular body. Good! They certainly worked hard in training!~ she poked inside her mind
Ruo Hua Heng maintained a cold and indifferent expression on her face, emitting the aura of a not-to-be-underestimated individual. People who had been following her shuddered in response to the abrupt change. Du Fang and Chen Diyu cannot help but rejoice despite the astonishment of several individuals. At last, the General is exhibiting her true intelligence and strength. They are excited to see what their miss will do now that she has changed her behavior. All of them are really surprised by the atmosphere and actions of their general.
Is this, in fact, the General?! The General we know does not have this kind of demeanor or aura!
Many people were shocked, but Du Fang and Chen Diyu couldn't help but admire it. They can't wait to see what their mistress will do now that she is breaking off her timidity. Although the two are pleased with their miss's positive development, they still have questions regarding how and why their miss, who they have known from the beginning is not compatible with fighting despite having been taught martial arts since they were children, has undergone this transformation.
"Miss have a yang power, right? But why she is now spreading a Yin power?" Du Fang whispered to Chen Diyu
" It doesn't matter as long miss is fine and that is all" Chen Diyu answered coldly leaving Du Fang pouting
"Now, comrades, as you can see, we, the smallest and weakest army in this empire, shall step out of this position and rock the empire in madness!"Ruo Hua Heng shouted as she diffused her aura, chilling everyone's spirits.
The soldiers were now in a state of disbelief and, for the most part, surprise as a result of their General's proclamation.
Their General is behaving oddly?! What?
Hua Heng noticed that her declaration had taken her followers by surprise. Even her five trusted people were taken aback and looked at her with a puzzled expression, saying, "Please explain or we will pest you like bugs." Hua Heng translated the look she was receiving into her head.
"Ahem! I know most all of you are surprised by my proclamation and think of me if I have gone crazy but I assure all you I am not" -Hua Heng
"Each of you will be in the spotlight! Under my leadership, each of you will taste the glorious victory of being the strongest troops in this empire. I know you're all dubious of me that I, Rou Hua Heng, a mere bronze rank General, can make all of you shine from all of your positions, but believe me, When I promise something, I'll make that promise come true starting today! I apologized for my irresponsibility over the past year, but I am certain that all of you—NO, all of us—will slap the faces of those who ridiculed us. FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS ALL OF US WILL CHANGE THIS KINGDOM UNDER THE OATH OF THE HEAVEN, WE WILL RISE TO THE TOP AND SLAP OUR ENEMIES UNTIL THEY BLEED TO DEATH!!" Ruo Hua Heng declared with all her might and struck the platform with her spear, causing an earth-shaking vibration that extended across the forest, causing the birds to fly as if they sensed an impending death.
The soldiers roared as if they are stimulated and their blood is boiling with excitement and hope, their eyes were all bloodshot as they look at their General with utmost respect and trust. Their General's declaration is still hard to believe, especially as it comes as a surprise, considering that the timid general they once knew is now declaring to make all of them the strongest. However, her words caught the troops' hearts, and the hope and drive to surpass the others, which they thought unachievable at first, arose.
Is this for real?!
The General today looks different and strong!
Please slap me! I can't think that this is just a dream!
Ah! Ah! This is not a dream, right?
We will rise from weak to strong?! The General is not joking right?!
Finally, the General is stopped for being a coward!
As they looked at Ruo Hua Heng, the troops' minds were filled with questions and thoughts concerning the General.
Hua Heng smiled triumphantly at them.
Wow! Could it be possible that my words triggered these people that much?! Wow, this is great. Those lines from the novel I read are too useful, ohhh. Hua Heng was ecstatic inside her head.
"ARE YOU ALL WITH ME OR ARE YOU ALL COWARDS?!" She roared once more.
"YES, GENERAL! WE ARE! WE ARE THANKFUL FOR, GENERAL ROU!" All of the troops salute and pound their chests simultaneously
~"Since I am now you, your body has become mine. I will assume rights and make choices as I see fit, and I will pay back those who have looked down on you and your family in the past.."~ Hua Heng smiled
