Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Looking at everyone who was glaring at him with the intent to kill, Kris Vone felt his heart drop. "Fredrinn, you set me up! You must have planned to do this from the start! As for that letter, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I knew you would say that." Fredrinn chuckled as if he was already expecting this. He then gave a signal to the people behind him.

After getting his signal, a group of soldiers dragged out a middle-aged man whose face was covered in bruises and blood.

Seeing this person, Kris Vone\'s eyes widened. It was the other expert sent by the Evergreen Supreme Household! \'How did they capture him so easily?! Was it Fredrinn\'s doing?!\'

This guy was a 10th layer Nascent Soul martial practitioner so Kris Vone didn\'t expect to see him in such a state. \'Fucking useless! Dammit!\' He cursed in his heart.

"I heard some interesting things from this guy. According to him, you sent out letters about our movements to the enemies. I wonder if it\'s true?"

"Nonsense! How could I do something so ridiculous?! I would never betray the kingdom!" Kris Vone denied the allegations vehemently.

Fredrinn clicked his tongue, feeling annoyed by his lies. "Get him! Seal his cultivation and lock him inside the cage!" He instructed in a cold voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Kris Vone aggressively fought back. "How could you do this to me?! I\'m an elder of the Evergreen Supreme Household?! Do you guys want your families to get killed?!" He shouted furiously.

Kris Vone might be powerful, but against tens of Nascent Soul martial practitioners and hundreds of veteran soldiers, he was still overwhelmed. In the end, he was captured and locked up inside a special cage with Bryan Roy and the other guy.

"After this battle is over, I will report your actions to the commander. With the evidence in our hands, I\'m pretty sure that even the Evergreen Supreme Household wouldn\'t be able to save you." Fredrinn muttered as he looked at Kris Vone who was locked up inside the cage. With their cultivation sealed, they had no hopes of escape.

"Wait! Fredrinn! I was wrong! I promise that it was a misunderstanding!" Kris Vone forced out an ugly smile, pleading Fredrinn with his most sincere voice.

Fredrinn felt disgusted by his act. "Please have some self-respect. You are after all an elder of a supreme household. You should get your act together."

After that, Fredrinn turned around and told the guards to keep an eye on them. He even left a dozen members of the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division to take turns in looking after the cage.

Fredrinn wanted to kill him, but that would only anger the Evergreen Supreme Household. The other supreme households might also be dissatisfied if he killed Kris Vone without trial. This was how difficult it was to deal with a member of the supreme household.

The best thing he could do was report this to Commander Galleon and hopefully, he would file a complaint to the royal family. Once the royal family was involved, Kris Vone would have no room for escape.

After dealing with Kris Vone, Fredrinn summoned the division leaders to discuss their strategy.

"At this moment, the enemy must be thinking that we are unaware of their trap. We could use that to our advantage."

"Sir, although we outnumber them, the enemies are more familiar with the terrain and there might be more traps out there if we aren\'t careful."

"I\'ve already taken that into consideration…"

The meeting proceeded smoothly without the presence of the troublemaker, Kris Vone. Everyone exchanged their opinions and suggestions to create a solid plan to conquer the valley.

Meanwhile, hiding within the valley was a man who looked to be in his fifties. An impatient look hung on his face as he observed the peaceful grassland. This guy was the corps commander of the Wild Wolf Corps, stationed in the valley.  His name was Van Daleson. He was a 10th layer Nascent martial practitioner and one of the top experts in the Blue Sky Kingdom\'s military

"Is there still no sign of them moving?" He muttered to the person in front of him.

It was someone younger, a guy who looked like he was in his late thirties. "They still haven\'t entered the grassland, sir! Should I send some scouts to observe them closely?" The man inquired.

Van Daleson frowned upon hearing his words. "No! Let\'s wait for a moment. That guy should be sending us a letter soon."

"Sir, can we really trust that person? What if it was part of their plan from the very start and that guy was just acting as a double agent to fool us? You should reconsider your decisions, sir."

Van Daleson\'s face darkened, but he still nodded his head. It was possible and if they had truly planned it from the start, his Wild Wolf Corps might be at a disadvantage despite their familiarity with the terrain.

"I heard that the man leading the enemies is the same person who took down Harmon Violetcloud\'s Mighty Tiger Army. We should indeed be careful when facing someone like that." Van Daleson muttered.

Harmon was stronger than him despite their cultivation being the same. The one thing he had that was better than Harmon was his commanding ability. Unlike Harmon who only knew how to use his brute force, Van Daleson was confident in his strategies.

After some thought, Van Daleson said. "Go and send a team of scouts to check the enemy\'s movements. Inform the artillery division to keep their eyes peeled. If the enemies enter their range, tell them that they are free to shoot."

"Yes, sir!"

Van Daleson started changing his approach. He didn\'t want to end up like Harmon! He would never make the same mistake as that guy! He vowed to himself.
