Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

In front of him was Fredrinn. He was still unscathed even after blocking those fearsome wind blades! Even his mount wasn't injured.

"What?!" Van Daleson exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost. That was his strongest battle technique and the guy effortlessly blocked it. Was there still any meaning in fighting someone like him? He felt an overwhelming sense of despair. There was no hope of victory.

"Surrender! Do you want to see more soldiers get killed?!" Fredrinn uttered coldly, his words jolted Van Daleson awake.

The latter turned his head and looked at the scene of carnage. The Wild Wolf Corps that he was so proud of was breaking apart in front of his eyes. The difference in the two armies' strength was evident.

Van Daleson slowly loosened his grip on his lance as he shook his head, sighing heavily with an emotional gaze.

Suddenly, the image of his family came into his mind. His eyes regained clarity. He raised his head and bellowed. "Wild Wolf Corps, this will be our final battle together! Fight with all your might! Remember that we are fighting for our kingdom!

Don't let our comrades' sacrifices be in vain!"

As soon as they heard their commander's words, the lifeless eyes of the Wild Wolf Corps were suddenly ignited.

"For the Blue Sky Kingdom!"

"Kill the enemies!"

"I'll bring one of you into hell with me!"

As if they were possessed by evil spirits, the Wild Wolf Corps began their fierce counterattack.

Van Daleson also charged at Fredrinn. The hesitation in his eyes vanished, only the intent to kill remained.

Seeing how things played out, Fredrinn shook his head and sighed. "So it has still come to this." He muttered.

Clang!

Fredrinn blocked his lance with his shield and countered by stabbing out his guandao!

The blade of his guandao penetrated Van Daleson's chest.

"Argh!" The latter spat a mouthful of blood and glared at Fredrinnas as he grabbed the shaft of the guandao. "Y-You will die with me!" He raised his lance and pushed it towards Fredrinn's head!

"This bastard!" Fredrinn didn't expect that this guy would resort to this kind of suicidal tactic.

Fredrinn hastily lifted his shield in an attempt to block the attack. He managed to change its trajectory but the lance still somehow found its way towards his chest.

Just as Van Daleson thought that he could bring Fredrinn down with him. A dull clang echoed as he failed to penetrate Fredrinn's armor.

'No way! What kind of armor is that?!' These were his last thoughts before his head was cleanly severed.

The headless corpse fell from the war horse and a made 'thud'.

Looking down at his corps, Fredrin muttered. "You were a great fighter, Van Daleson. I respect you."

With the death of their corps commander, the Wild Wolf Corps lost their will to fight. Most of them committed suicide, while the remaining four thousand surrendered.

Meanwhile, the battle on the left hill also ended with the complete annihilation of the Wild Wolf Corps five thousand cavalry soldiers.

The cheers of the Mad Bear Corps echoed across the valley.

***

Half a day later…

Near the northern border of the Star Wind Kingdom, in the main camp.

"Sir, we received news from the Mad Bear Corps!" Nate rushed to the commander's tent as soon as he received the letter sent by the Mad Bear Corps.

Galleon who was looking at the battle map with a frown was surprised to hear this. "Come in quick! Show me the letter!"

"Yes, sir!" Nate stepped inside the tent and handed the letter to him.

Galleon removed the seal and opened the letter.

It was a message personally written by Fredrinn. Written in the letter was a detailed description of how the Mad Bear Corps' conquered the Green Lake Valley. Fredrinn also mentioned Kris Vone's act of betrayal and that he had secured evidence that would prove Kris Vone's actions.

"That bastard Kris Vone! He actually dared to betray the kingdom!" Nate gnashed his teeth in anger. He didn't like that fellow from the start.

Galleon was also furious. "If what Fredrinn mentioned in this letter is true, then Kris Vone deserves to be punished for his crimes!" He was relieved that Fredrinn didn't quietly dispose of Kris Vone. It would have caused a major dissatisfaction on the Evergreen Supreme Household's side.

"Should we report this to the royal family?" Nate asked.

Galleon nodded. "We need to send a trustworthy messenger to inform the royal family about this incident. Things will get serious once Kris Vone arrives so we better prepare for that as well."

"Yes, sir!"

"Stay here. I'll write the letter first."

[You have captured one of the four key locations that is crucial in this war! Rewards: 5000 Fate Points, Level Up Card x1, Healing Card x2, and Servant Upgrade Card x1!]

[Mission Progress: 50%]

The rewards were more bountiful than when they conquered Blood Burn Hill. Other than the three rewards, he even got a Servant Upgrade Card!

Servant Upgrade Card [Legendary]

- Using this card would promote your servant to the next realm. Can only be used on servants below the Nascent Soul realm. Cannot be used on the living beings of the Great Vemune Continent.

Fredrinn immediately used the Level Up Card which elevated his strength to the 3rd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

Fredrinn immediately summoned Cain and used the Servant Upgrade Card on him.

As soon as he activated the card, Cain's strength immediately jumped to the 2nd layer of the Nascent Soul realm!

The huge leap in his strength made Fredrinn feel a bit jealous, but it was only for a moment.

"Thank you for bestowing me with this power, my lord!" Cain bowed deeply in gratitude.

This guy was the first servant he got from the Fate Shop. Cain was a quiet but loyal person. He deserved this reward so Fredrinn didn't hesitate to use the Servant Upgrade Card on him.
