Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Fredrinn watched as the two armies clashed once more. It looked as if he had no intention to join the battle and was simply there to observe.

Everyone thought that it was because he disdained to fight the enemies, but in truth, Fredrinn was just silently recovering his Qi. If he joined the fight now, he would only reveal his weakness which would be a huge blow to the powerful persona he had created.

As the battle raged on, the Mad Bear Corps' was slowly gaining ground. Their grief at the deaths of their comrades fueled their determination to fight, disregarding the injuries they suffered.

Their reckless way of fighting scared the Mighty Tiger Corps and this slight change in their mental state greatly affected their morale. Even with the presence of their reliable Deputy Commander Grayson Casterfall, they still failed to overcome the Mad Bear Corps' ferocious onslaught.

"Where are the reinforcements?! We can't hold them back for long!" Someone shouted in a dispirited voice.

At this moment, over half of the Mighty Tiger Corps were killed and the enemies still maintained their ferocity. It was only a matter of time before all of them would be killed.

Looking at their dwindling numbers, some soldiers of the Mighty Tiger Corps threw down their weapons and kneeled, expressing their surrender. Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

"Don't kill me! I surrender!"

"Stop stabbing me! I have already surrendered!"

Their pleas for mercy were ignored by the furious Mad Bear Corps. Even those who had surrendered were mercilessly killed.

"You have no right to surrender! Grab your sword and fight me, you damn bastards!" Ulysses roared, his eyes reddened in fury.

Fredrinn was no longer new to this scene, but to someone who was born in a peaceful modern world, the bloody scene still made him feel nauseated.

He frowned in disgust.

The old members of the Mad Bear Corps were like grim reapers, reaping the lives of those who had surrendered.

Fredrinn didn't stop them. If he had experienced the same situation, he would have done the same thing. He wouldn't deprive them of their rights to avenge their comrades however cruel the methods they used.

Before the sun had set, the Mighty Tiger Corps was almost annihilated. Their Deputy Commander, Grayson Casterfall, was killed by Ullyses and their high-ranking military officers died in battle. If Fredrinn hadn't given the command to stop, the surviving soldiers of the Might Tiger Corps would have been killed by the furious Mad Bear Corps.

Among the thirty thousand soldiers of the Mighty Tiger Corps, only less than three thousand survived and all of them were injured to some degree. Meanwhile, the Mad Bear Corps also suffered some losses with over four thousand casualties. Even the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division lost a hundred men.

It must be noted that the soldiers of the Black Flame Cavalry possessed armor made from magic aquanite so it was incredibly difficult to kill them. The hundred that died were unlucky since most of them were killed by Nascent Soul martial practitioners. If they had encountered weaker enemies, they would have survived. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in war.

The captured enemy soldiers were chained to prevent them from escaping or causing any disturbances.

"Sir, I'm here to give my report!" Ulysses dismounted from his horse and gave Fredrinn a snappy salute. His eyes were filled with reverence and admiration as he stared at this young corps commander.

"Speak." Fredrinn nodded his head.

"We found the artilleries in their base camp, but most of them were already burned. We managed to find twenty-four that were still usable, but all the shells had already exploded during the fire. We also discovered their armory…"

To summarize Ullyses' report, they managed to get about 20% of the Mighty Tiger Corps arsenal. Over ten thousand injured war horses were captured. Given some time, they would have a reserve of mounts. It is just such a pity that they lost most of the equipment during the fire.

[You have captured one of the four key locations that is crucial in this war! Rewards: 3000 Fate Points, Level Up Card x1, and Healing Card x1!]

[Mission Progress: 25%]

Fredrinn received the notifications once they took over Blood Burn Hill.

He immediately used the Level Up Card to advance his cultivation to the 2nd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

His Fate Points shot up to 18675, a decent amount to buy some valuable items. However, Fredrinn didn't have any intention to buy anything at the moment. He wanted to save up his Fate Points for future use.

Fredrinn stared at the last item he received.

Healing Card [???]

- Allies within a 100-meter radius will significantly recover their health. (Cannot be used during combat.)

Seeing the description, Fredrinn's eyes flashed. This was a useful item. Many of his soldiers were gravely wounded, but because of the lack of medicines and medical practitioners, some of them might not make it. This card might save their lives!

Without wasting any time, Fredrinn told Ullyses to gather all the grave injured soldiers in one place.

Ullyses was confused by his instructions, but he still complied.

In just less than an hour, the injured soldiers were gathered inside a big tent that spanned about a hundred meters.

Fredrinn then used the Healing Card.

As soon as he activated it, the card slowly formed into globules of light and filled the tent.

"This energy…" Fredrinn sensed the strong life energy in each globule of light. It wasn't just him, all the soldiers also sensed the fluctuation of energy.

An anxious Ullyses entered the tent to check the situation and he was stunned when he saw that the injured soldiers were gradually recovering. What made him more shocked was the rate at which they were recovering. He even saw someone whose innards were visible, his skin slowly closed up and soon only a scar remained on his chest.

"What the hell is this?" He was gobsmacked.  He had never seen something like this before. Not even those expensive medicines made by alchemists were capable of achieving this kind of effect.

It was then that he noticed Fredrinn who was in the middle of the tent. The life energy congregated around him as if he were the source of this miracle.
