Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Meanwhile, Bernard Oceanwave was now on his way to infiltrate the hill. His task was to plant a suspicious-looking item in the enemy camp. He didn't know what this item was used for, but he could sense a dense amount of fire element within the item.

Upon closer look, it just looked like an ordinary box with strange mechanisms and symbols. If Fredrinn hadn't told him what it was, he wouldn't know that it was actually a powerful weapon.

'Just where did Lord Fredrinn get this strange item?' Bernard thought as he nervously held on to the box. Fredrinn warned him not to drop the box or it would cause a massive explosion.

Bernard hugged the box like how he would his wife. It was embarrassing, but it was better than dying because of a strange box.

At this moment, he had already reached the foot of the hill. He encountered some scouts along the way, but no one noticed him.

"I'm almost there." Bernard wiped off his sweat. Carrying this dangerous item made him exhausted.

The bottom of the hill was heavily guarded so he had to make a few detours to evade the patrolling soldiers.

Twenty minutes later, he reached the middle part of the hill without any accidents.

However, he had to stop when he was about to make it to the top of the hill. This was because there was a Nascent Soul martial practitioner patrolling the area.

Bernard concealed his aura and hid on the branch of a tall tree.

'How do I get past this fellow without alerting the enemies?' He thought to himself as he looked around, searching for another path he could take. Unfortunately, the other parts of the hill were more heavily guarded.

'Should I kill him?' Bernard's eyes flashed with killing intent. The success of his mission was crucial to their victory. He had to complete his task no matter what happened!

Bernard took out a short sword. His main weapon was a trident, but using it would cause quite a commotion so he chose a short sword. Although he couldn't bring out his full strength with this weapon, he was confident that he could take down the Nascent Soul martial practitioner with it. This was the confidence of someone who was only a step away from advancing to the Void Tempering realm!

Bernard gathered his Qi into his short sword and lunged at the patrolling Nascent Soul martial practitioner.

"Hm?!" The Nascent Soul martial practitioner sensed his presence, but he was a tad too late to respond.

Bernard stabbed the man's chest with the sword, pulled it out, and swung it horizontally, swiftly decapitating his head.

After killing the man, Bernard took the man's clothes to disguise himself as a soldier of the Mighty Tiger Corps. He then headed to the top of the hill after burying the corpse.

Bernard jumped over the wooden wall and finally entered the enemy camp. Four low-ranking soldiers saw him, but he quickly eliminated them before they could alert the others. After taking care of them, Bernard calmly walked around the camp to find the perfect place to plant the box.

Some soldiers spotted him, but they thought that he was merely carrying supplies.

Suddenly, someone stood before him, preventing him from taking another step. "Hey! Who are you? I haven't seen you before. From which division do you belong?"

Bernard inwardly cursed.

"There he goes again, stopping another rookie."

"Tsk! That bastard is one of the biggest bullies here. The enemy is already beneath the hill, but he still finds the time to bully people."

With Bernard's powerful hearing, he heard everyone's conversation. Their words made him relieved. 'So I wasn't discovered.'

"Why are you silent? Do you know who I am? I'm a Company Commander you fucking idiot!" The man prodded Bernard's chest with his finger.

Bernard almost punched him out of instinct. If it wasn't for his mission, this guy would have already died. 'I can't lose my composure here.'

Bernard lowered his head while concealing his fury. "I apologize, Company Commander. I was in a hurry since I had to deliver this important package to the Corps Commander."

"Corps Commander?" The man flinched when he heard this.

"Yes. You can punish me later, sir, but I really need to deliver this on time." Bernard was on the verge of exploding.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You may go." The man was obviously afraid of the corps commander, but he pretended like he was letting Bernard go.

'Dammit! I'll fucking kill you if I have the chance!' Bernard cursed the man as he hurried to find a place to dispose of the strange box.

After another half an hour, he finally placed the box in what looked like an important storage facility where many gears were kept. He even saw several dozen artillery shells.

When he was done with his mission, he quickly left the enemy camp. He already knew which path to take so going down the hill was a lot faster.

On his way down, he took out a small device. 'How do I use this again? Lord Fredrinn said that there was a small protrusion here and I just need to press it.'

Click!

"Have you done the task?" Fredrinn's voice drifted into his ears.

Bernard was a bit surprised. He was already aware that this was a device capable of connecting him with someone from afar, but he still found it unbelievable. 'What a marvelous item!' He thought.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Good! Tell me once you're out of the hill."

"I'm almost there. I'm already in the middle of the hill."

A few minutes later…

"My lord, I'm already out of the hill," Bernard reported.

"Great! You will hear some explosions later. Come back here as fast as you can!"

Bernard was curious about the power of that strange box.

It didn't take long for him to hear an earth-shattering explosion from the top of the hill.

BOOOMM!!!

Looking at the enemy camp that was engulfed in fearsome flames, Bernard was stunned. 'Luckily I didn't drop that thing…'
