"Sir, there is still no news from our scouts. I think they met an accident."

Hearing this, Van Daleson frowned. 'Did we really get tricked from the start? No… According to our spies from their main camp, the dispute between that man named Fredrinn and that elder from the Evergreen Supreme Household is true. This means there is a high chance that Fredrinn might have already discovered Kris Vone's actions. It seems like he had also been dealt with.

That guy called Fredrinn is truly capable.'

"What should we do, sir?"

Just as Van Daleson was about to respond, he suddenly saw black smoke rising from the right hill. "What's happening?!" He had a bad feeling when he saw that.

At this moment, he heard the sound of a distant clash and the shouting of men.

"We were fooled! They already knew our location!"  Van Daleson's eyes flashed with unease.

They had five thousand cavalry on top of the right hill. They were the best riders in his Wild Wolf Corps so taking them down wouldn't be easy even if they were outnumbered.

"We still have time to send reinforcements to the right hill! Follow me there to take a look!" Van Daleson rallied the troops, awakening the forty thousand soldiers who were lying in wait.

By the time they climbed the top of the hill, they realized that almost all of their five thousand cavalry soldiers had already been killed. This filled Van Daleson with rage.

With furious eyes, he shouted. "Kill them all!" He raised his lance and squeezed his legs, urging his mount to run faster.

Seeing their corps commander charging into battle, the Wild Wolf Corps immediately followed. Their shouts echoed across the valley.

By his initial estimates, there were about thirty thousand enemy soldiers. 'We outnumber them by ten thousand. If their strength is similar to my soldiers, we should be able to beat them here!'

However, there was something that didn't add up.

According to the information sent by Kris Vone, there should be around fifty-two thousand soldiers. There were still twenty-two thousand missing.

Thinking about this, Van Daleson suddenly thought about the left hill. 'Don't tell me they sent all those soldiers to attack the left hill. Dammit!'

He had realized it too late. He could only hope that his soldiers on the left hill could hold on.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure dressed in flashy armor and a jeweled crown. The man was holding a huge shield and a terrifying-looking guandao with a blade that was in the shape of a crescent moon.

'That must be Fredrinn Firecrown, the commander of the Mad Bear Corps!'

Seeing Fredrinn mercilessly cutting down his cavalry soldiers, Van Daleson gnashed his teeth in rage. "Fredrinn Firecrown, face your death!"

***

"Fredrinn Firecrown, face your death!"

Fredrinn turned his head and saw a martial warrior charging at him with unstoppable momentum.

[Nascent Soul 10th Layer]

[Van Daleson] Favorability: -19 (Hostile)

Fredrinn narrowed his eyes when realized the man's identity.

Before coming here, he studied information related to the Wild Wolf Corps so he knew who Van Daleson was.

Van Daleson thrusted his spear, bringing about a fearsome power akin to a roaring dragon.

In the face of this attack, Fredrinn calmly lifted his Lithinum Shield.

CLANG!

A violent but dull clanging sound echoed as soon as the lance landed on his shield.

Van Daleson recoiled in shock, while Fredrinn remained still as if he was unaffected by the collision.

'What?! How sturdy is this guy?!' Van Daleson's eyes flashed with shock. He charged from a long distance and used all his power in that strike, but Fredrinn actually managed to fend it off without stepping back!

From that brief clash, he discovered that he might not be Fredrinn's match.

However, there was no turning back. If he showed even a sign of weakness, his troops' morale would drop. Given the current situation, it wouldn't be good for the Wild Wolf Corps.

"To think that a powerful young warrior like you has emerged in the Star Wind Kingdom. What a pity! If only you were in my Blue Sky Kingdom, we could have been friends!"

"I didn't know you were the chatty type!" Fredrinn had long since activated the unique traits of his equipment.

No matter how powerful Van Daleson was, he wasn't able to escape the weakening effect of the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade.

As their weapons clashed, the two armies also collided.

With the unique effects of the Crown of Eternal Glory, all soldiers of the Mad Bear Corps receive a buff in their abilities. Furthermore, the enemies were also significantly weakened because of the status effect of the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade.

With all the advantages, the Mad Bear Corps displayed power that overwhelmed the Wild Wolf Corps!

To make a comparison, it was like a group of able-bodied adults fighting a bunch of kids in their late adolescence.

It was a one-sided battle!

Facing the ferocious Mad Bear Corps, the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Corps were pushed back.

Van Daleson also noticed the enemies' incredible strength and it made him feel desperate. 'How can this be?! How is this possible?! How could my soldiers lose so easily?!' He was in despair.

"Surrender! Put down your weapons and we will spare your lives!" Fredrinn pointed his guandao to Van Daleson while eyeing him coldly. If he could bring this person alive, they might gain some valuable intel that could be useful for this war.

Hearing his words, Van Daleson's face contorted with rage. "Are you looking down on me?! We're still not done!"

With a wave of his lance, he formed dozens of wind blades that shot through the air with speed that was even faster than regular bullets.

Seeing this, Fredrinn sighed. This guy was more hot-tempered than Harmon Violetcloud.

Before the wind blades could touch his body, Fredrinn raised his shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A thick cloud of dust was formed after the wind blades struck Fredrinn's shield.
