Three weekster, the Mad Bear Corps had finallypleted their fortifications on the two hills of the Green Lake Valley. During these three weeks, everything was peaceful and there were no major battles. They only asionally encountered some enemy scouts observing them from the distance.
The soldiers enjoyed this rare peace, but there was someone who had a different opinion.
Princess Danielle leaned on her chair with an udy-like posture. She didn''t seem to care about showing this side of her to Fredrinn. However, Fredrinn liked her unpretentious attitude. She wasn''t like those noble youngdies from martial households who would put on a gentle facade in public.
"I''m bored. Let''s go fishing at theke." She spoke as she stared at Fredrinn who was going over the daily reports of the divisionmanders.
His Mad Bear Corps now had fifty thousand soldiers with the addition of the new soldiers sent by the main camp. He had twenty-two Nascent Soul martial practitioners under him. He didn''t include the princess'' bodyguards since they weren''t part of his corps.
Once the war was over, he could bring these soldiers into the estate to settle down if they agreed to permanently work for him.
Hearing the princess'' words, Fredrinn raised his head. "I told you that you should have gone back to the capital. There''s nothing much to do here."
He could now talk casually with her since they had grown closer after interacting for three weeks. He didn''t even address her formally now and just called her by her name when they were alone.
Princess Danielle pouted in dissatisfaction. "It''s even more boring there. I have to study calligraphy, painting, dancing, and many other things. I don''t want to do that all day." She muttered with a depressed look.
"Many young girls want to be in your ce."
The princess sneered. "They don''t know the difficulties of being a member of the royal family. If they were to experience a day of my life, I bet they would change their mind."
Looking at her all depressed and miserable, Fredrinn sighed and put down away the reports. "Fine. I''ll apany you to go fishing, but you better disguise yourself as a soldier. We can''t let the enemy scouts know that the princess of the kingdom is here."
Princess Danielle''s eyes lit up. "You can''t go back on your words! I''ll go get changed. Wait for me here." She stood up and excitedly left.
"How childish," Fredrinn muttered with a chuckle.
A momentter, he went down the hill with the princess and headed to theke behind the right hill. They took their time to walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the valley.
If they weren''t at war, this ce would have been a perfect spot for couples to go sightseeing. Unfortunately, this beautiful ce had been damaged to a certain extent because of the repeated battles. Only theke was rtively in good condition.
Following the two were the princess'' bodyguards as well as Bernard Oceanwave who was the current divisionmander of the ck me Heavy Cavalry Division. Thetter has been training the new cultivation method he got from Fredrinn and he could even feel that he was close to advancing to the Void Tempering realm. This would have been impossible if he remained as the leader of a mercenary group.
Working for Fredrinn was the best decision he made in his life.
''Her Highness is smitten by my lord, but I don''t think he will ept her love since he is quite loyal to Miss Daphne.'' Bernard sighed as he watched them walk side by side.
After walking for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the side of theke. The air here was more pleasant and they could even feel the vibrant atmosphere brought upon by the unique Qi of theke.
Fredrinn and the princess chose a spot at thekeside before they threw their fishing hooks into theke.
"How about we cook the fish that we capture for lunch?" The princess spoke eagerly.
"That sounds good. I haven''t had fish in a while." Fredrinn didn''t want to dampen her enthusiasm. Besides, he also wanted to try eating the fish on theke.
"I heard that the fishes here are quite strong. I don''t know if it''s true, but they said that a powerful magical beast is living in the depths of theke."
"Is that so? I wonder if that''s true."
"Why don''t we look for it?"
"What if it''s a Void Tempering magical beast? We would only invite disaster if we provoke it."
"That''s true…"
This rare peace continued for another three days until a messenger from the main camp arrived to deliver Commander Galleon''s handwritten letter.
Sitting inside his tent, Fredrinn unrolled the letter and read it with a serious look.
ording to themander, the Star Wind Kingdom''s troops had advanced further and they had already set up camp at the foot of Mount Roshire. The Blue Sky Kingdom''s troops also retreated to recuperate their losses, but themander mentioned that they were only replenishing their troops.
Themander stated in his letter that he wanted the Mad Bear Corps to upy the Roshire ins, the vastnd beneath Roshire Mountain.
Fredrinn put down the letter.
If the Star Wind Kingdom upied the Roshire ins, they would have more routes to move their troops and supplies. However, upying this ce with only fifty thousand soldiers would difficult considering the size of the ins.
ording to themander''s letter, another General would be there to support Fredrinn in upying thend.
Commander Galleon only briefly mentioned the name of this General.
Silent Sword General…
Fredrinn heard a few things about him. He was a 10thyer Nascent Soul martial practitioner and he was also an elder of the Sapphira Supreme Household!
Fredrinn had a good impression of the Sapphira Supreme Household. He was even close friends with their heiress, Yvanna Sapphira.
"Roshire ins… It looks like another battle is waiting for us." He muttered as he stepped out of his tent.
