It was only recently that he had advanced to the 2nd layer of the Nascent Soul realm. If someone learned the speed of his breakthrough, they might die of shock.
After taking a look at his character profile, Ullyses came to give his report.
From their initial number of fifty-two thousand soldiers, seven thousand died. Whether it was a coincidence or not, most of those who died were part of Kris Vone's ten thousand soldiers. Perhaps only Fredrinn would know if this was deliberate or merely a coincidence.
The Mad Bear Corps temporarily camped at the Green Lake Valley to recuperate. Fredrinn also used the two Healing Cards he got to speed up his troops' recovery. He didn't find it wasteful since he was already thinking of incorporating them into the household once he became a General.
"Congratulations in advance, corps commander! It seems like I have to call you General next time." Ullyses didn't forget to kiss his ass. This guy had mastered the art of bootlicking and he was really slick with it.
"Stop flattering me and go do your work." Fredrinn shooed him away with a wry smile.
Meanwhile, Kris Vone who was stuck inside the cage with his two subordinates had an ugly reaction when he heard the jubilant cheers of the Mad Bear Corps.
"I'm done for…" He muttered with a gloomy look on his face.
As for Bryan Roy and the other guy, they could only helplessly sigh as they watched him fall into despair.
***
Several days went by after the battle at the Green Lake Valley.
Fredrinn's name became even more famous after his victory over the Wild Wolf Corps. He became a symbol of hope and strength for the soldiers of the Star Wind Kingdom.
The Blue Sky Kingdom also felt threatened by the emergence of the new powerhouse among the enemy. They even set up a huge bounty for whoever could take Fredrinn's life.
Fredrinn was still oblivious that he was already being preyed upon.
At this moment, he was on his way back to the main camp to deliver Kris Vone and his cronies to face the trial.
"Welcome back, General Fredrinn Firecrown!"
"Welcome back, General!"
As soon as his entourage arrived, the soldiers respectfully saluted him. He could see the reverence in their eyes.
Fredrinn raised his eyebrows in surprise. He turned his gaze to Ullyses to seek his opinion, but the latter shook his head, clearly unaware of the situation as well.
Suddenly, the soldiers parted, revealing three people approaching them. One of them was Commander Galleon. The person beside him was an old man dressed in golden dragon robes, a sign that he was someone working for the royal family. As for the last person…
"Fredrinn! Long time no see!"
Fredrinn wasn't surprised when he saw the third person. It was Princess Danielle, his magnet.
When they locked up Kris Vone a few days ago, Fredrinn sent a separate letter to the princess, detailing Kris Vone's crime. He wanted to bring her into the trial to make sure that Kris Vone wouldn't escape punishment.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Fredrinn smiled as he bowed to her. Ullyses and the other soldiers of the Mad Bear Corps they brought with them also bowed. No one dared to disrespect her. Although she had the lowest chance of ascending to the throne, she was still the daughter of the current king.
Princess Danielle wanted to act coy with him, but knowing that many eyes were watching, she could only send him a resentful gaze. They had already agreed to call each other by their names, but Fredrinn actually broke their promise.
Once he got closer to the princess, Fredrinn whispered. "I can't call you by your name here. There are a lot of people watching. They might think that I don't respect you." He explained himself.
Princess Danielle's gaze softened when she heard this. "I'll let you off this time." She muttered.
"By the way, this is Sir Charles Brownrock. He is the kingdom's left minister and he is also one of my father's most trusted men." The princess introduced the old man behind her. Explore more stories with m,v l'e-NovelFire.net
Hearing this, Fredrinn stared at the old man and used his battle scouter to check the latter's cultivation.
[Void Tempering 3rd Phase]
[Charles Brownrock] Favorability: 11
'Huh? Why is his favorability so low?' Fredrinn was surprised by the low favorability, but he didn't show it to his face. He smiled at the old minister and cupped his fists.
"Greetings, Left Minister! I've heard so much about you!"
"Ho! I'm honored that a fine young warrior like you knows me." The old man squinted his eyes and chuckled. He had a kind face that gave off the impression that he was an honorable gentleman. However, his low favorability sent alarm bells to Fredrinn.
Fredrinn felt that the old man was hiding a secret.
After exchanging pleasantries with the old man and the princess, Commander Galleon finally had the chance to speak.
"Good job, Fredrinn! You did as you promised and conquered the Green Lake Valley."
Fredrinn smiled in response. "I only did my job."
Commander Galleon laughed lightly. "When I received your letter a few days ago, I immediately requested the royal family to promote you to become a General. I got their reply yesterday saying that they accepted the request. They also sent me your General's token, ceremonial yishang, and sword.
From now on, you will be known as the Black Flame General!" He then took out a box from his storage device and handed it to Fredrinn.
Fredrinn carefully took the box and bowed. "Thank you, Commander Galleon!"
Galleon shook his head and smiled. "There's no need to thank me. You deserve this position and I don't think anyone has any objection regarding your promotion. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Her Highness. She strongly supported your promotion."
Hearing this, Fredrinn stared gratefully and the princess.
