Chapter 304: Memory search (2/2)
Nearly two hundred of Brettel City’s new soldiers died from the bandits’ savage attacks in this battle, while Fulkin had only lost only fifty of his people who’d rushed down from the mountain. This showed the weak power and incompetent abilities of the soldiers in the battlefield.
“Noble Sir Count, thank you for your help.” When the battle was settled, Fulkin went over to Han Shuo and bowed to pay his respects and gratitude.
“No need to stand on ceremony. Mount Tali is part of Brettle City territory. It’s my responsibility as the city lord to ensure the safety of your lives.” Han Shuo responded with a smile before adding, “I hope this is a good start. Brettel City is also your hometown, I don’t think you must continue staying on Mount Tali if you don’t want to.”
“Perhaps one day we’ll return to Brettel City, but it’s not yet the best time. Sir Count should understand our concerns.” One battle wasn’t enough to assure Fulkin. He wouldn’t dare to take the risk before Brettel City could display powerful military strength.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo said smilingly, “You will see Brettel City change. Alright, we can stop here today. I still have other things to handle.”
Paying no more attention to Fulkin, Han Shuo went over to Faulke and told him to clean up the battlefield. He then left for direction of the Helon Duchy by himself. Han Shuo had received the information about Redbeard Troda’s hidden location from the latter’s mouth. In addition to some miscellaneous crystal cards inside the space ring, the jewelry and ores that Troda had pillaged over years hadn’t been sold, but hidden within a mountain with a bald top instead.
Troda had originally been a criminal in the Helon duchy. He was released thanks to general amnesty when Helen Tina succeeded the position. Troda left the prison and returned to his long lost freedom, becoming a bandit. Even though he’d been making a mess everywhere over the past several years, he was still obsessed with his hometown. He’d hidden the wealth at a mountain not far from his hometown.
The current grand duke of Helon Duchy was Helen Tina, rumored to be an extremely charming woman. This woman had obtained with finesse the grand duke position that her uncles had coveted, becoming the true power holder of Helon Duchy. None of the uncles who fought for the throne had escaped from her hands. She’d killed them all when she’d succeeded the seat.
“Helon Duchy, humph!” Han Shuo snorted coldly. He traversed the dim sky while secretly thinking about when to make a move on this duchy.
Even though Helen Tina was a woman, the army there had no hearts for mercy in her hands. Her Helon Duchy was the most frequent invader out of the seven grand duchies that invaded Brettel City.
Helon Duchy was seven hundred li to the northeast of Brettel City. It’d take a day to travel by a fast galloping horse, but Han Shuo only needed an hour using the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens.
Upon his arrival at that bald-headed mountain, Han Shuo saw a large scale battle campaign that involved four grand duchies in full swing on that precise mountain. The person who Han Shuo had been secretly cursing, Helen Tina, was valiantly sitting on a fiery red phoenix, calm and at ease as she commanded the troops in an attack.
