Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 137 : The Mad Bear Corps is on the Move

Deputy Commander Nate left after bidding them farewell. His task was done so he didn't linger for long.

Fredrinn told Ullyses that his troops were still waiting outside so the latter immediately sent someone to bring them in.

They conversed about the situation of the Mad Bear Corps. Ullyses told him everything he needed to know about the corps.

According to Ullyses, the Mad Bear Corps currently had over twelve thousand soldiers. Eight thousand of them died in the recent ambush, including their corps commander and two division commanders.

Fredrinn's troops bolstered their numbers to over seventeen thousand.

The next day, Fredrinn summoned Ullyses to his tent.

"Good morning, Corps Commander! What can I do for you?" Ullyses gave him a salute.

Fredrinn put down the reports and looked at him. "We need to reorganize the Mad Bear Corps." After reading the data given to him by Ullyses, he discovered that the Mad Bear Corps' structure was skewed.

Excluding Fredrinn's troops, they had twelve thousand soldiers that were divided into four divisions. Each division had a varying number of soldiers which resulted in numerous holes within their ranks. This had to be addressed immediately since it would be a disaster if they were sent to war in this condition.

Fredrinn told him about his thoughts, educating him about the importance of each unit in the war. Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr

To make an analogy, the Mad Bear Corps was like a house that looked completely fine on the outside but was very lacking in foundation. One strong push and it would collapse.

"I see." Ullyses finally realized why some of the soldiers failed to keep up with their formation. It was actually because of the holes within their ranks. He failed to discover this since he was too focused on getting revenge. Luckily, he hadn't sent his corps into battle yet or it would have been a disaster.

In the next few days, Fredrinn reorganized the Mad Bear Corps into five divisions, with his own troops forming the fifth and also the largest division with five thousand soldiers. He also named them the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division. They will serve as the spearhead of the corps in the coming battle.

What they needed now was battle experience so this was the perfect place to sharpen their blades.

Two weeks after they arrived at the Mad Bear Corps' camp, Commander Galleon finally gave them the order to attack and recapture the hill.

"So this day has finally come!" Fredrinn stepped out of his tent dressed in his Armor of Eternal Strength and Crown of Eternal Glory. He held the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade in his right hand, while the Lithinum Shield was strapped on his back.

"Corps Commander, everyone is ready to march! You just need to give us the command!" Ullyses reported with a stern look. The cast on his left arm had already been removed. He was still not in perfect condition, but he insisted on participating in this mission.

Fredrinn nodded. He jumped on his mount and urged it to move towards where the Mad Bear Corps was gathered. Ullyses silently followed him.

A moment later, Fredrinn saw the entire corps fully dressed in their battle gear.

"Mad Bear Corps, move out!"

"Yes, sir!"

Their target this time was to recapture the hill on the western side of Mount Roshire. They gave this hill the name 'Blood Burn Hill' in honor of the fallen soldiers of the Mad Bear Corps.

"Light the arrow!" Fredrinn shouted.

Hearing this, Ullyses immediately sent a signal to the messengers.

Soon, an arrow was released into the sky. This was a signal to inform Commander Galleon that they were on the move.

As soon as the arrow reached its peak, the soldiers of the Star Wind Kingdom made their move.

Fredrinn's presence on the battlefield was slowly turning the cogwheels of fate. Unbeknownst to him, a huge change was about to happen in the future that he was aware of.

The scouts of the Blue Sky Kingdom noticed their movements so they immediately sent a message to inform the troops stationed at the Blood Burn Hill of their march.

At this moment, inside the tent of the commander stationed at the Blood Burn Hill.

"Commander, our scouts sent an urgent report through our falcons." The messenger handed the letter to the middle-aged man with an eyepatch and a scar on the left part of his mouth.

This man was Harmon Violetcloud, the Corps Commander of the Mighty Tiger Corps that was stationed at the Blood Burn Hill.

"So those guys couldn't sit still anymore? Are they planning to avenge their idiot corps commander?" He muttered in contempt after reading the contents of the letter.

He burned the letter and looked at the messenger with a cold gaze. "Tell everyone to prepare for war! The enemy is coming!"

He suddenly grinned as he added. "Bring the commander of the artillery division here. I'd like to speak with him."

"Yes, sir!"

In the next twenty-four hours, the two armies started their preparations. Each had their own plan and goal in mind.

The Mad Bear Corps stopped marching at the forest a few miles away from the Blood Burn Hill. The tall trees and dense shrubs masked their presence. It was the perfect place to set up camp.

From this spot, they could already see the Blood Burn Hill. The enemy camp was surrounded by wooden walls, making it a temporary stronghold. Attacking it would be difficult for them because of their terrain advantage. Not to mention that they possessed those incredibly destructive artilleries.

Just looking at the fortified hill made them feel nervous.

"Sir, what are your plans? Once we leave this forest, we will expose ourselves to them.

Those cunning bastards will never go down the hill! They will wait for us to reach the range of their artillery!" Ullyses muttered while clenching his fists.

"Don't worry. I won't send you guys to death. Besides, I already have a way to make those people go down the hill." Fredrinn grinned.

'They aren't the only ones who have useful toys.' To make this mission a huge success, Fredrinn invested 1000 Fate Points to buy an item from the Fate Shop. This item would be crucial in this battle.
