Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Fredrinn beckoned to him. "I brought some medicines with me. Distribute them to our injured comrades and make sure that they are well taken care of."

Hearing this, Ullyses was moved. He felt that Fredrinn was truly kind. Soldiers like them would receive supplies from the royal family in limited numbers so they use them sparingly. It was rare to see a commander willing to share his supplies with his subordinates.

Fredrinn randomly inspected Ullyses' favorability and found out that it had increased to 85. This made him smile. This guy was truly honest that it was so easy to please him. He didn't expect that giving away some medicine would earn Ullyses' respect.

"Thank you, Corps Commander!" Ullyses bowed deeply, his eyes flashed with gratitude.

Fredrinn patted his shoulder. "There's no need to thank me. I'm just doing my job as your corps commander. I'll leave this matter in your care. Report to me if something comes up."

"Yes, Corps Commander!" Ullyses, this veteran soldier almost cried when he heard Fredrinn's words.

Fredrinn left the tent after giving some instructions to Ullyses.

He had now taken over Blood Burn Hill according to Commander Galleon's plans. By now, the Star Wind Kingdom's forces should have already taken care of the artillery of the Blue Sky Kingdom.

Galleon's plan was to bait the Blue Sky Kingdom into deploying their artillery to support the soldiers of Blood Burn Hill. This means Fredrinn and the Mad Bear Corps were just a diversion. Their goal wasn't just to take control of Blood Burn Hill, but to destroy the enemy's artillery.

When he realized Galleon's plan, he was truly impressed with the veteran commander's scheme.

***

Two days later, a messenger from the main army arrived to deliver the news about the battle led by Commander Galleon and two of the supreme households.

Fredrinn's eyebrows tightened when he read the contents of the letter.

This letter was personally written by Deputy Commander Nate.

According to him, Commander Galleon led over a hundred thousand soldiers to attack an enemy's camp where the artillery was stored.

A separate force of thirty thousand soldiers was also sent to stop the enemy reinforcements headed to Blood Burn Hill.

The main army led by Commander Galleon successfully destroyed the enemy's artillery and they even killed forty thousand enemy soldiers. However, the Galleon's army lost thirty thousand soldiers.

Meanwhile, the separate force led by Kris Vone Evergreen that was supposed to stop the reinforcements sent to Blood Burn Hill managed to complete their mission after a fierce fight. Unfortunately, the enemies managed to fire their artillery which caused significant losses on his army. Of the thirty thousand soldiers under his command, only six thousand survived. It was a pyrrhic victory.

Fredrinn didn't laugh at his plight. He didn't like Kris Vone, but the soldiers under him were innocent. Their death didn't make him feel good.

"Any orders from the commander?" Fredrinn asked the messenger as he burned the letter.

The messenger nodded and replied. "A new corps will be sent here to defend the hill. The Commander wants you to return to the main camp to discuss how to capture more key locations."

Hearing this, Fredrinn nodded. He thought that the commander would ask him to defend the hill. This would affect his mission to capture the four key locations on the battlefield. He didn't expect that the commander would take the initiative to invite him for another meeting. This means that the commander was already made aware of Fredrinn's overwhelming victory against the Mighty Tiger Corps.

"I see. Thank you for delivering the commander's message. You may stay in the camp for a meal." Fredrinn sent off the messenger.

Three days later, a corps of about thirty thousand soldiers led by Fern Silversword arrived at the foot of Blood Burn Hill.

Fredrinn's troops were busy with rebuilding the camp on top of the hill so they hadn't completely cleaned the aftermath of their battle against the Mighty Tiger Corps. There were still some corpses here and there. The smell of blood was evident, making Fern's soldiers frown.

Fern strictly followed the military rules. He didn't force his way in on top of the hill and patiently waited for Fredrinn to invite him to come.

He had already heard about the Mad Bear Corps' overwhelming victory. With only seventeen thousand soldiers, they managed to recapture Blood Burn Hill which had over thirty thousand enemy soldiers. Not to mention the dozens or even hundreds of artillery they possessed. When he first heard about the results of the battle, Fern found it unbelievable.

Fredrinn only lost five thousand soldiers and his army thoroughly decimated the Mighty Tiger Corps. This information made him gain a deeper understanding of Fredrinn. He was indeed as powerful as the rumors made him out to be.

A moment later, Fredrinn finally descended the hill together with a hundred soldiers dressed in black armor.

Seeing those soldiers, Fern narrowed his eyes. He had also heard a few things about them. They are soldiers of the Firecrown Supreme Household. He never would have thought that a newly formed army would possess such destructive might in battle. It was truly incredible. As to how the Firecrown Supreme Household had trained them, no one knows.

At this moment, Fredrinn had already approached them.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, Corps Commander Fern. I apologize for coming late. I hope I didn't make you guys wait for too long." Fredrinn greeted him respectfully. This gentleman was Aubrey's relative so Fredrinn didn't want to be rude to him.

"Hahaha! There's no need for you to apologize, Corps Commander Fredrinn. I know you are busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle here." Fern wasn't the least bit bothered. He wanted to know more about this young man who showed exemplary achievement in battle.

"Thank you for being understanding. Let's talk in the camp. I can't let your soldiers stand in the middle of the heat."
