Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Three hours later, Bernard returned to Fredrinn's tent to give the updated report of the enemy's movements.

"Sir, our scouts have determined the identity of the opposing army. They are the Blood Saber Army led by Gregor Pilar who is famously known as the Blood Saber General. He has been a half-step Void Tempering powerhouse for several years and he has more experience in battle than Markelle Duskhill.

Although he isn't good at stratagems, he has a veteran tactician by his side who makes up for his lack of tactical knowledge…"

Fredrinn nodded with a grim look. His experience with Markelle Duskhill made him cautious against half-step Void Tempering powerhouses. Unlike Nascent Soul martial practitioners, they are more troublesome because of their Intent. Markelle almost broke his Lithinum Shield with his power so Fredrinn didn't want to make the same mistake.

"Summon the corps commanders at once! I need outside my tent as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!" Bernard acknowledged his command with a salute before he turned around and left.

In less than an hour, the corps commanders gathered outside Fredrinn's tent. Everyone wore serious gazes, tensed about the incoming battle.

Ricky in particular was visibly nervous.

He wasn't promoted to his position by normal means. He bribed many officials and military personnel to barely become a corps commander. He only came into the battlefield since he was conscripted by the royal family. He didn't dare reject their request, afraid that they would strip him of his position.

As for why he volunteered to join Fredrinn's army, it was because of the latter successive victories. He thought that he would gain more military achievements by following Fredrinn, hence his decision.

Now, he regretted his impulsiveness. It wasn't even a day since he arrived, but an enemy was already knocking on the door.

Meanwhile, the other corps commanders were much better. Although they were also nervous, they managed to contain their anxiety. The most relaxed among them was Ulric.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Bernard, the man who gathered them here.

"Bernard, where is General Fredrinn?" Lester asked, his eyebrows locked with concern.

After the recent battle, he developed a strong reliance on Fredrinn. The latter's remarkable leadership had already convinced him. Even though they shared the same status, he didn't mind following Fredrinn.

Everyone looked at Bernard with bated breath.

Just as Bernard was about to respond, Fredrinn finally stepped out of his tent fully dressed in his Armor of Eternal Strength. He was already fully healed, but he still had the splint on his left arm. He was intent on keeping his act until the spy, Nate Woodman, would bite the bait that he had casted.

Closely following him was Nix, the cold and indifferent young woman whose martial prowess wasn't beneath that of the people gathered here.

"General Fredrinn!"

"Why are you on your armor, General? You should stay here and continue to recuperate. We can deal with the enemy."

Fredrinn smiled at them. "There's no need to dissuade me from joining the battle. Our soldiers' morale might decline if they don't see me in action."

"You guys can rest assured. Although I haven't fully recovered, my right arm is in perfect condition. I can still wield my weapon."

"Anyway, that's enough about me. We have a more important matter to talk about." Fredrinn's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Our enemy this time is the Blood Saber Army. Have you guys heard of them?"

"Blood Saber Army!" Ricky's eyes flashed with fear when he heard this.

The others also showed strong reactions upon hearing the identity of the opposing side.

The Blood Saber Army was well-known. They were one of the strongest forces of the Blue Sky Kingdom. They had never lost a single battle, but the reason for their fame wasn't their undefeated record. They became famous because of how they defeated their enemies. True to their name, the Blood Saber Army had never left a single surviving among their enemies.

Even those who had surrendered would be brutally murdered. They were heartless, cold killing machines!

"If it's them, it will be a difficult battle," Nate muttered while rubbing his chin.

"From what I know, they have four half-step Void Tempering powerhouses, including Gregor Pilar. Other than those four powerhouses, they also have ten peak Nascent Soul experts."

Everyone narrowed their eyes at his words.

On their side, they had three half-step Void Tempering powerhouses- Bernard Oceanwave, Ulric Meyers, and Nate Woodman. They didn't know Fredrinn's exact cultivation so they didn't include him in the list.

From the distribution of their experts alone, the opposing side already had the upper hand. Not to mention that Fredrinn was not in his best state.

The only good news was that the number of their troops was more or less the same.

"At this moment, the enemies are still exhausted. We should make use of this and attack them now."

Fredrinn's words stunned them, especially the three who just joined recently.

"General Fredrinn, we shouldn't be reckless." Nate was the first to disagree.

"Although they are exhausted, our troops are also not in perfect condition. The soldiers of the Mad Bear Corps and the Swift Wind Corps are still recovering from the last fight. Attacking now is not a good idea."

Ricky nodded in agreement, while the others remained silent.

"I understand where you're coming from. However, the enemies will not sit still. Based on their movements, I can tell that they won't sit still for long. I'm certain that they will attack tomorrow!" Fredrinn spoke with great confidence.

"We shouldn't hesitate. Now is the best time to attack! Once their soldiers have fully rested, they will be in top condition. We can only even the odds if we attack them now." Fredrinn added.

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows. Fredrinn's suggestion was risky, but they also found his words convincing.

They were silent for an entire minute and the person who broke the silence was Lester.

"Fuck it! I'll do it! I'll follow you, General Fredrinn! You have already proven your capabilities in battle and your plans have never failed me! I will trust you once again."

Hearing this, Fredrinn nodded at him. "Thank you for your trust, General Lester."

"I will follow your arrangements, General Fredrinn," Ulric spoke.

Only Ricky and Nate hadn't made a decision.

"What about you two?" Fredrinn glanced at them, his eyes intentionally hovered over Nate.
