Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 134: Summoned Into the Battlefield!

After Fredrinn's short discussion with his father on the spies they captured, he headed straight to his study room to gather his mind.

The Evergreen Supreme Household was slowly showing their fangs. 'Did they find out that we were secretly mining magic aquanite? That shouldn't be possible.' Fredrinn's face was grim.

To ensure the secrecy of the magic aquanite, he did a major cleanup on the people working at the mine. He sent his men to investigate those with low favorability towards him. During this process, he discovered some moles sent by other martial households and sent them to other areas to prevent them from sending news about the mine.

Fredrinn was contemplating this issue when a servant suddenly came to inform him that the royal family had sent a messenger to deliver an urgent message.

Fredrinn immediately headed to his father's office when he heard this.

Usually, the royal family would only send letters to deliver messages. They only sent messengers when the message was of great importance.

Fredrinn had a bad feeling about this.

When he arrived at his father's office, he saw Roland frowning while reading a letter. As for the royal messenger, he was nowhere to be found.

"Father, where is the messenger?"

Roland turned his head to him. "Lock the door and read this."

Looking at his father's serious face, Fredrinn felt a bit nervous. He wondered what was written in the letter for him to have that kind of expression.

After locking the door, Fredrinn took the letter from his father's hand and carefully read it.

The first thing he noticed was that this letter was personally written by the king! Find the next installment on m-vl-em|p-yr

Fredrinn skipped the formalities and went straight to the contents of the letter.

It was quite long, but Fredrinn quickly understood the important parts.

The Blue Sky Kingdom had deployed its artillery on the battlefield at Mount Roshire! The army of the Star Wind Kingdom suffered heavy losses and they were forced to retreat!

When they last visited the palace, they had already informed the king about the artillery, but the kingdom's army was still caught unprepared.

Now, the king was requesting the supreme households to send half of their soldiers to the battlefield to replenish their troops.

Fredrinn could sense the king's urgency from his letter. It was obvious that the Star Wind Kingdom's army was barely holding on to their defensive lines. If the supreme household refused to send aid, the remaining troops at the frontlines would soon collapse.

Fredrinn put down the letter and stared at his father. "I will go and lead our troops!"

"No! How could I send you there? You haven't even married Daphne yet! I'll go there instead! Stay here and protect the household while I'm gone!" Roland rejected him firmly. Fredrinn was the hope of the family to rise so he didn't want to take a risk sending him to the frontlines.

"Father, you can't leave mom! She is pregnant! She will give birth in a few months! The patriarch will be needed here so it is my job as the heir of the household to lead our troops into the battlefield! Please grant my request, father!" Fredrinn was determined to go into battle this time. The situation in Mount Roshire was too volatile for Roland to be there.

Unlike Fredrinn, he didn't have the Armor of Eternal Strength so he couldn't let his father go there.

When Fredrinn mentioned Margaret's situation, Roland's face froze. He was torn and he couldn't bring himself to make a decision.

Seeing Roland's hesitant face, Fredrinn had no choice but to deactivate the aura concealment function.

When Fredrinn's aura was revealed, Roland was stunned. "You! That power…" He had only sensed this kind of overwhelming pressure from Void Tempering powerhouses! Fredrinn was actually emitting this suffocating force similar to those top figures! He couldn't believe it!

"Father, this is my true power! Even if the sky falls, I can still force my way out. Please trust your son." Truthfully, it was still a bit too early for him to enter the battlefield.

Roland was still in shock so he couldn't respond right away.

When he regained his senses, he rubbed his eyes and muttered through gritted teeth. "A-Alright…" It seemed like he had used up all his energy to utter this response.

Fredrinn noticed his father's quivering voice. It must've been a tough decision for him. "I will gather the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry! We will depart tomorrow!" He couldn't back out now. There was no turning back! If he showed even a hint of hesitance, his father might insist on sending himself into the battle.

Fredrinn couldn't allow that to happen.

Without waiting for his father's response, Fredrinn turned around and left the office.

When he was gone, Roland collapsed on his seat with tears streaming down his face. This would be the first time Fredrinn would be sent to a real battlefield. The battle against the Blackcrow Household was nothing compared to the war between two kingdoms!

***

The next day, five thousand soldiers gathered at the entrance of the Firecrown Supreme Household. Their families were also there to say their goodbyes.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn was carrying a little girl in his arms while bidding farewell to his parents.

"Mom, Dad, please take care of yourselves. I will leave my daughter in your hands."

"Daphne, you should stay here. You must accompany Mom while I'm gone. She is pregnant so she needs someone to talk to. Don't leave her side."

Margaret cried when he said his goodbyes. She knew that his son was headed to the frontlines. "Please take care of yourself, my son. You must come back!"

She almost fainted when she uttered those words.

Roland immediately grabbed her to prevent her from falling.

"Son, are you really not bringing Sir Argus with you?" Roland stared at him while putting up a calm look. However, his reddening eyes betrayed his true emotions.

"I will be fine, father."

"We don't know what tricks the Evergreen Household would do so Sir Argus and Sir Alfred must be here to protect the household."

Roland was already aware that Alfred had fully recovered. Fredrinn told him about it some time ago after the banquet.

For this expedition, Fredrinn brought all of his trusted subordinates except Sean. The kid was still too weak to participate in the war.

Dressed in his Crown of Eternal Glory and the Armor of Eternal Strength, Fredrinn mounted the Flame Maned Shadow Steed.

"Warriors of my Firecrown Supreme Household! Let's go!" Fredrinn's commanding voice echoed like thunder.

"Yes, my lord!"

The members of the Firecrown Supreme Household watched them leave, their faces filled with complicated emotions.
