Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Two days later, the corps that would replace them in guarding the Green Lake Valley finally arrived.

They were the Green Arrow Corps led by a veteran martial practitioner at the 9th Layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

Fredrinn chatted briefly with their corps commander before he left the valley with his troops. There was no time for idle talk. The corps commander of the Green Arrow Corps also knew about Fredrinn's new mission so he didn't force him to stay longer.

On their way to the Roshire Plains, Fredrinn turned his head to the princess who was riding her war horse. "Your Highness, do you know anything about the Silent Sword General?" He was curious about this guy.

Princess Danielle thought for a moment. As a member of the royal family, she had a wide range of connections. "I met him before during the birthday banquet of the Sapphira Supreme Household's matriarch. I think it was four years ago. From what I know, he is the uncle of Yvanna. You know her, right?"

Hearing this, Fredrinn was surprised. "Her uncle?" Yvanna was one of his closest friends. They had first met each other during the celebratory banquet of the Firecrown Supreme Household. She was a beautiful and demure young lady with a tantalizing body and dreamy eyes.

Yvanna never mentioned anything about having an uncle.

"Yes. The Silent Sword General is the older brother of Yvanna's father." Princess Danielle added.

"Interesting…" Fredrinn muttered with a curious smile.

Five days later, Fredrinn's Mad Bear Corps and the Swift Wind Corps led by the Silent Sword General finally met.

Suddenly, Fredrinn saw a familiar figure among them. "Yvanna?" He muttered in surprise. He didn't expect to see her here.

Yvanna also seemed to have noticed him. She smiled and nodded to him.

"Ehem!"

Fredrinn turned his head at the man standing beside her. He was over six feet tall with long pointed ears and short golden hair.

Fredrinn realized that this man was probably the Silent Sword General.

At this moment, he was looking at Fredrinn with a sharp gaze. "You must be General Fredrinn, the man they call the Black Flame General. I am Lester Sapphira, the commander of the Swift Wind Corps. It's an honor to finally meet you." He cupped his fists to show his respect.

Fredrinn also cupped his fists in greeting. "The honor is mine. I have heard a lot of your stories, General Lester. The name 'Silent Sword General' is truly well deserved!" He smiled politely.

Lester's calm face broke into a smile.

"We have been here for more than a week now. Why don't you follow us inside the camp first? Let's talk privately. My niece also wanted to chat with you."

"Uncle!" Yvanna showed an embarrassed smile when he mentioned that.

"Alright."

"We'll take you there."

A moment later, Lester brought them to the camp and invited them to his tent. Fredrinn accepted his invitation. He also brought the princess with him.

When Yvanna saw Fredrinn bringing in a woman dressed in full body armor, she raised her eyebrows.

Fredrinn didn't plan to hide her identity so he opened his mouth. "Your Highness, you should remove your helmet now."

When Lester and Yvanna heard him address the woman in such a way, they both gasped in shock.

Princess Danielle clicked her tongue as she removed her helmet. "You are really no fun, Fredrinn." She wanted to pretend like a normal guard, but Fredrinn destroyed her plan just like that.

As soon as she revealed her face, Lester and Yvanna immediately bowed. "Your Highness!"

"There's no need to be formal." The princess waved her hand.

"Your Highness, why are you here? This place is dangerous!" Lester said with concern.

"Of course, it's to gain battle experience." Princess Danielle responded.

Seeing how willfully she replied, Lester was left speechless. He had a lot to say, but he didn't dare scold the princess. In the end, he could only helplessly sigh in his heart.

Yvanna was quite close with the princess so she didn't have such worries. "Your Highness, you could put your life at risk if you stay here. The battlefield is full of uncertain factors. We never know if an enemy is lurking in the shadows."

"Give it up. I don't know how many times I told her to return to the capital, but she never listened to me." Fredrinn shook his head with a wry smile.

"But…"

"You can rest assured. I will keep her safe. Trust me." Fredrinn had long since given up on persuading the princess. This girl was too stubborn. He knew that she would never listen to him.

"Fine." Yvanna was still worried, but she had no choice but to trust Fredrinn.

"Anyway, let's get to the main topic. General Lester, can you tell me about the situation in the plains?" Fredrinn turned his gaze to the Silent Sword General.

Lester's face suddenly turned serious at the mention of this. He then replied. "The enemy has over one hundred fifty thousand troops led by three powerful martial practitioners at the 10th Layer of the Nascent Soul realm. Furthermore, there is also a powerhouse who was said to have one step at the Void Tempering realm at the helm."

Hearing this, Fredrinn's eyebrows scrunched up. "A half-step Void Tempering powerhouse?"

Half Step Void Tempering, just like its name, are people who were only a hair's breadth away from advancing to the Void Tempering realm. They only needed an epiphany to make this final step.

"Even for myself, I might not be his match." Lester shook his head with a heavy look.

Fredrinn wasn't surprised. Lester might be powerful, but there was still a significant difference between him and someone at the half-step of the Void Tempering realm.

"Are there any suspicious movements from their side?" Fredrinn asked.

Lester nodded. "My scouts reported that the enemies are gathering their troops. They might be preparing to attack us. Our camp is well hidden, but they might have already found our location.

Hearing this, Fredrinn narrowed his eyes.
