Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 157: Divide the Enemy Troops



"Gather the commanders!" Markelle was thoroughly enraged this time. He didn't like the feeling of being targeted.

"Yes, sir!"

Not long later, thirty division commanders and three corps commanders of the Blue Mountain Army gathered before the round table inside Markelle's tent.

After everyone had gathered, Markelle opened his mouth. "I believe you guys have already received the news about the presence of Fredrinn and his Mad Bear Corps."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. They all have scouts monitoring the enemy's movements. When Fredrinn arrived near the plains, they were informed of his arrival.

"Fredrinn captured two key locations that we had secured and because of him, many of our Blue Sky Kingdom's martial practitioners died. Now, the leaders of the Star Wind Kingdom have sent this guy to the Roshire Plains. It's obvious that they had set their sights on us. If we are to be defeated, the morale of our troops would be greatly affected.

We must win and take back everything that they had taken from us!"

Everyone could sense the rage in his voice.

"What are your plans, commander?" One of the three corps commanders asked.

"Plans? We don't need that! We outnumber them! We are also more powerful than them! What do we have to fear?!"

Most of them agreed with his words. The Mad Bear Corps might be powerful, but Fredrinn wasn't a half-step Void Tempering powerhouse like Markelle. No matter how strong he was, could withstand Markelle's overwhelming power?

"The troops will be ready to march in two days. We will attack them then. As for that Fredrinn guy, I'll kill him myself!" Markelle was confident in his strength. Since the war started, he had never encountered someone who could last three strikes against him.

"We will follow your commands, sir!"

"Yes, commander!"

Later that night, the Blue Mountain Army was already making preparations for their attack.

Little did they know that a small group of elite martial practitioners had quietly made their way near their camp. This group had five hundred soldiers. All of them were the strongest soldiers in warriors of the Mad Bear Corps and the one leading them was Fredrinn himself. Their goal was to cause confusion in the enemy camp by shooting burning arrows into their tent.

It was a diversionary tactic to divide the enemy's troops.

At this moment, Fredrinn had just eliminated a patrolling enemy soldier by lopping off his head with a single strike of his sword. For small fries like this guy, Fredrinn didn't even need to use the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade. An ordinary sword was more than enough to take their lives.

After killing the patrolling enemy soldiers, Fredrinn made an insect-like sound. It was the signal for the elite troops to commence the attack.

As soon as they heard the signal, they immediately lit their arrows with fire and shot them into the camp.

Suu! Suu! Suu! Suu!

Suu! Suu! Suu! Suu!

Soon, a large number of enemy tents were engulfed in flames. Some unlucky soldiers failed to react in time and were burned to death. The flame they used wasn't ordinary and the arrows were even augmented with array formations which significantly increased the combustion rate of the flame.

"Enemy attack!"

"Put out the fire!"

"Grab your weapons and search for the enemies!"

Enraged shouts echoed from the distance, but Fredrinn's group didn't stop their attack.

Other than causing confusion among the enemy troops, Fredrinn also wanted to lure them into attacking his group. Once a portion of the enemies would be lured away, he would send a signal to the main force led by Lester. He would then escape and regroup with the main force during the commotion. This was the plan he came up with after a long discussion with Lester and the others.

To defeat an army that outnumbered them, it was necessary to employ some tactics. Brute force alone wouldn't be enough to defeat them, especially an army like the Blue Mountain Army.

"The enemies are here!" Someone finally discovered them. Fredrinn's group didn't intentionally hide their presence so they were quickly discovered by the enemies.

A moment later, a large number of soldiers led by two Nascent Soul martial practitioners came charging towards them. Their killing intent shot through the skies.

Facing their furious charge, Fredrinn made a whistling sound. It was the signal to retreat. Their goal has been reached so it was time to regroup with the main force.

"Do you think I will let you guys escape?!" One of the Nascent Soul martial practitioners jumped off his mount and dashed ahead of his troops.

Fredrinn stopped in his tracks and stared at him.

[Nascent Soul 7th Layer]

Sensing the enemy's strength, Fredrinn sneered. He took out the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade and brandished it with both hands!

A fearsome wave of flame was created as soon as he swung his guandao. The enemy was late to react and he even realized that his cultivation was suppressed by an unknown power. He hastily lifted his weapon, but Fredrinn's guandao sliced through it like butter before it cut the man's body in half!

"Corps Commander!" Stay updated through m-v l|e'm,p y r

After killing the man, Fredrinn didn't waste more time and retreated with his troops.

'The others should have already finished their tasks as well.' Fredrinn thought to himself. His group wasn't the only one who made an attack. There were also other groups sent to attack other parts of the enemy camp. In total, there were six groups other than them with each group having five hundred soldiers.

"Fire the signal arrow!" Fredrinn shouted.

Not far from him, a soldier stopped for a moment to shoot an arrow into the sky.

Bang!

A blue firework exploded, illuminating the night sky with a touch of blue.

A moment later, five more blue fireworks exploded from different directions.

Seeing this, Fredrinn heaved a sigh of relief.

"It seems like everyone succeeded." He muttered with a smile. He then urged his mount to move faster.

Meanwhile, Lester stared at the distant blue fireworks with narrowed eyes. While raising his long sword, he shouted. "Warriors of my Star Wind Kingdom! Charge! Kill the enemies!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
