Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

"They are surrendering?" Lester muttered in disbelief. Although they were losing, they still outnumbered them.

"Intimidation. We learned it from the General. It's quite effective, to be honest." Bernard muttered with a chuckle.

"So is this how you conquered the other two key locations?"

"Not really. Not everyone will be intimidated. We kill those who fight back until all of them lose the will to fight."

At this moment, only a small percentage of enemies surrendered. The rest continued fighting even more fiercely.

"Warriors of the Star Wind Kingdom, kill those who haven't surrendered! Kill them!" Fredrinn bellowed.

Hearing his words, the Mad Bear Corps and the Swift Wind Corps who were buffed by his items' blessings began their carnage.

The Blue Mountain Army which was famous for its powerful soldiers were like lambs in the face of these ferocious beasts. No matter how hard they fought back, the buffed army fought even harder!

Lester was in awe as he watched the one-sided massacre. He finally realized what he lacked as a General.

It was the ability to inspire his troops.

Markelle Duskhill found himself surrounded by the enemies. If it had been earlier, he would have had no trouble with fighting multiple warriors. However, he was already exhausted. He has been attacking Fredrinn relentlessly but to no avail. The guy was like a fortress, unbreakable and firm.

In one final struggle, Markelle fought everyone with everything that was left of him.

Just as he was about to get killed, he heard Fredrinn's voice. "Take him alive. We can use him to force the Blue Sky Kingdom to cede control of the land near Roshire Mountain."

That was the last thing he heard before he lost consciousness.

Fredrinn instructed the troops to confiscate the enemies' weapons and seal their cultivation. He also instructed them to gather the injured comrades into one location and used the Healing Cards on them to increase their recovery speed.

"General Lester, I'll leave the clean up to your troops. My soldiers will bring the prisoners to the main camp. I'll also stay here with half of the Mad Bear Corps just in case the Blue Sky Kingdom sends another army." Fredrinn was worn out after that battle. He couldn't even defeat Markelle by himself. He was still too weak compared to the true powerhouses.

"Alright. You should get some rest. I heard that you broke an arm after that fight with Markelle." Lester muttered as he stared at Fredrinn's loosely hanging left arm.

Hearing this, Fredrinn smiled bitterly while nodding his head. "Yeah."

"By the way, where is Yvanna?" He asked.

"She should be with the princess right now. Do you want me to call her for you?"

Fredrinn shook his head. No, it's alright. I'll go and find her."

"Don't overwork yourself. This victory was largely because of your presence. You deserve to rest. I'll take my leave first. Just send someone to inform me if you need anything."

"Alright. See you later."

After he parted with General Lester, Fredrinn searched for Yvanna and the princess.

He asked around and he soon arrived at the tent guarded by four Nascent Soul martial practitioners. They were the princess's bodyguards.

When they saw Fredrinn, they gave him a respectful salute. "Greetings, General Fredrinn!"

Fredrinn waved his hand. "Is the princess inside?"

"Yes, sir! Her Highness has been looking for you."

"I see. Good job, you guys." Fredrinn acknowledged their contribution to keeping the princess safe.

"We are only doing our job."

After some small talk with them, he entered the tent.

Inside the tent were Yvanna and the princess. Both were nursing their wounds. Even though they weren't in the vanguard, they still sustained some minor injuries.

"Fredrinn? We have been looking for you! Where have you been?" Princess Danielle immediately came to his side.

"We heard that you broke your arm after your battle with Markelle Duskhill. Are you alright?" Yvanna stared at him with concern.

"I had to deal with some matters. As for my arm… It should be fine after a month or two." Fredrinn calmly replied. In truth, he could heal this injury using the healing card, but he had already used up all his cards. He also didn't want to stay in the infirmary because he wanted to be in a quiet environment.

"You didn't even ask someone to put a splint on your arm! Come here. Let me do it for you."

"Fine. Fine." Fredrinn could only allow her to pull him.

With his current physical constitution, he could fully recover in just two weeks. He just exaggerated his injuries to make it seem like he was seriously wounded.

This was part of his plan to deceive his enemies and the spies. Who knows? Maybe they might fall into his trap. To make this more convincing, he also had to fool his allies.

Yvanna applied medicine to his bruises and wrapped his broken left arm with a splint that was similar to the long arm brace and posterior elbow splint in his home world.

A martial practitioner has a strong life force so there was no need for an operation to deal with broken bones. Wounds like the one Fredrinn had would naturally heal after some time.

"You shouldn't move too much in the next few weeks." Yvanna reminded him.

Fredrinn nodded. "Thank you."

"It's nothing." Yvanna smiled at him.

"Fredrinn, you should get some rest for now. You can leave the rest to us." The princess spoke.

"I should do that." Fredrinn didn't insist on staying. He bid them farewell and left.

"Your Highness, will he be alright? That battle with Markelle must have left him some internal injuries." Yvanna worriedly said after Fredrinn left.

Princess Danielle furrowed her eyes. "He will be fine. He is the Black Flame General. He will probably recover in just a month."

"What if the enemies will attack us while he is recovering? Without him, I don't think we can withstand another battle." Yvanna knew that they wouldn't win that war without Fredrinn. His presence alone had a huge impact on the battle.

Princess Danielle frowned. "Let's pray that it doesn't happen."
