Chapter 144: Next Mission: Conquer the Green Lake Valley

Everyone could sense the implications in his words. If Kris Vone was sent to support Fredrinn in his mission to conquer the valley, the former might face an accident.

Everyone had heard about Fredrinn's unparalleled might on the battlefield. Facing hundreds of enemy soldiers at once without faltering. It was something that no one in the meeting room was brave enough to do. Perhaps only a Void Tempering powerhouse like Commander Galleon could do the same.

If Fredrinn did something to Kris Vone during the mission, he could report the latter's death and blame it on the enemy.

Kris Vone's expression darkened. This guy was truly bold. 'This damn bastard! How dare he underestimate me?!' He gritted his teeth in rage while glaring at the calm-faced Fredrinn.

Galleon stared deeply at Fredrinn. "If I sent Sir Kris Vone with you, how confident are you to conquer the Green Lake Valley?"

Everyone was surprised to hear his words. From the looks of it, the commander planned to support Fredrinn. He didn't even care about sacrificing an elder of a supreme household!

"Commander! How could you listen to a brat's ramblings?!" Kris Vone knew that Fredrinn wouldn't be so kind to him once they were left alone. Although he was confident in his own skills, he held some trepidation towards the young man.

"Shut your mouth!" Galleon slammed the table, knocking down the chess pieces on the battle map.

His overwhelming aura leaked out, making everyone feel suffocated.

"I have been lenient with you because of your affiliation with the Evergreen Supreme Household, but did you really think that I would let you do as you please here? In this place, my words are absolute! I don't care if you are from the supreme household! If you question my words again, I will have you executed on the spot!

Do you understand me, Kris Vone?!" Galleon's eyes seemed like they could shoot lasers.

Kris Vone hung his head low, not daring to look at the commander in the eye. "Yes, Commander…"

"Your foolishness caused your corps to suffer heavy casualties. If you want to redeem yourself, then follow Fredrinn in his mission to conquer the Green Lake Valley!"

Kris Vone's face fell. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the fury in the commander's eyes, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Galleon scanned the rest with his piercing gaze.

No one said anything. They didn't have any intention to save Kris Vone. Nilo, the representative of the Goldenlion Supreme Household even snickered at the latter.

"Since no one is against the idea, we will proceed with it." Galleon then turned his gaze to Fredrinn. "Fredrinn, I want you to lead your troops to the valley ten days from now. If you succeed in this mission, I will request the royal family to promote you as a General!"

General was a position given only to the strongest military leaders of the Star Wind Kingdom. Their authority was only beneath that of the Great Generals. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If he received this title, he would have the authority to command fifty thousand soldiers! He could even bring them to the estate once the war was over. This was just one of the perks of being a General.

To Fredrinn who sought stability and strength, this was definitely a tempting offer.

"Don't worry, Commander! I will conquer the Green Lake Valley for our Star Wind Kingdom!" Fredrinn patted his chest confidently. He still had his trump card so he wasn't worried about failing the mission.

Hearing his bold proclamation, Galleon chuckled, seemingly pleased. "Good! I will expect great results from you!"

Fredrinn bowed his head. He didn't forget to send Kris Vone a deathly glance which made the latter's face twitch.

The meeting continued for another thirty minutes before Galleon dismissed everyone.

"Alright. You guys may take your leave."

Everyone stood up and bowed to him before they left.

As soon as they stepped out of the commander's tent, Fredrinn placed his arm over Kris Vone's shoulder, acting like they were close friends. "Corps Commander Kris, I will wait for you at our camp. Don't be late. We have a lot of matters to discuss."

Kris Vone was repulsed by his actions and he wanted to push him off. However, he found out that he couldn't move Fredrinn when he exerted his strength. It was as if his energy vanished into thin air when he touched Fredrinn. 'What the hell?! How did he do it?'

"Oh! I didn't know that you are actually close to Corps Commander Fredrinn. I thought you despised him since you were so angry when you heard his achievements." A voice filled with derision echoed behind them.

Fredrinn turned around and saw the elder from the Goldelion Supreme Household.

"You must be joking, Corps Commander Nilo! Haha! How could I despise Corps Commander Fredrinn? That's ridiculous!" Kris Vone's face was so unsightly to behold.

Nilo burst into laughter when he heard his words. "Hahaha!"

Fredrinn realized that this elder also held some grudges against Kris Vone. "You must have misunderstood him, Corps Commander Nilo. I'm quite close with Kris Vone and I even consider him as my elder brother. With him by my side on our next mission, I don't have to worry about my life. I'm sure that he would even sacrifice his life to protect me."

Fredrinn's words were full of hidden meanings.

Nilo understood this right away and grinned. "Is that so? I must have heard it wrong at that time. I'm sorry!"

"It's alright."

"I still have things to do so I'll take my leave first." Fredrinn bid everyone farewell and winked at Kris Vone before he left.

"Look at you acting so submissively in front of someone who could be your grandson! Hahaha!" Nilo laughed contemptuously as he walked away.

Kris Vone's eyes flashed with imperceptible darkness. 'Since it has come to this, don't blame me for being ruthless! How dare you embarrass a proud member of the Evergreen Supreme Household!?'
