Chapter 333

1st Prince Ren’s expedition to Reidan had to proceed in secret.

Spreading the news would allow Grid time to respond. Ren secretly recruited his army by organizing small number of troops and moving through through the estates of the nobles. It took a lot of time due to that, but Ren didn’t hesitate.

It was right to be prudent.

***

The day before Grid’s son, Lord, was born. There was a big disturbance in the fortified city of Patrian. 1st Prince Ren visited the city with 7,000 troops.

“I greet the prince.”

Earl Ashur greeted him. He had the strength to control the balance of the world, but he did his duty as someone loyal to the nation.

“Earl, you don’t need to do this. Get up. Come on.”

Prince Ren was uncomfortable. Even the prince of a kingdom couldn’t afford to go against a great magician. It was the same in the empire.

Earl Ashur asked him, “Why has the prince visited this place with an army?”

Prince Ren explained honestly. He intended to from the beginning.

“Unfortunately, the king’s life won’t last much longer. I feel like as part of my duty to the stability of the kingdom and the royal family, I have decided to strike at Grid.”

“…”

Earl Ashur had also heard rumors about what Grid had said at the rewards ceremony after the golem invasion. He understood the feelings and position of Prince Ren. But he was confused. The wicked Grid was holding his son hostage. His son might be in danger if Reidan was invaded.

Prince Ren saw Earl Ashur’s worried face and opened his mouth.

“I’m well aware of your situation. Your son Bland is being held hostage in Reidan? Several months ago, Duke Grid used this weakness so that you would help him.”

“…”

Earl Ashur couldn’t say anything. He was too proud to admit the fact that one of the continent’s 10 great magicians was in someone else’s hands.

Prince Ren looked at him. “I will surely defeat Duke Grid and rescue Sir Bland. Trust me and cooperate with me.”

“Do you have a good plan?”

Prince Ren was well aware of the strength of Grid’s forces. Then what was this confidence? Earl Ashur showed interest and Prince Ren introduced a few people to him. It was the Royal Knights commander, Chucksley, and other people, including Hurent.

Earl Ashur was amazed as he examined their faces.

‘Prince Ren had such a network?’

Recently, Chucksley was in the spotlight for shooting down three flying birds with one arrow. The kingdom’s influential figures were following Ren. Among them were users (those who received the blessing of God), such as Hurent.

Their power was hard for even Earl Ashur to gauge.

Ren explained to him, “The ideal thing would be for you to personally join my army, but… Duke Grid could hurt Bland. I can’t ask that of you, so please do me a favor. Teleport 3,000 of my soldiers to the Altes Mountains.”

Altes Mountains!

Strictly speaking, it was the territory of the Saharan Empire located to the west of Reidan. It was the exact opposite position to Patrian, which was to the east of Reidan.

“A diversion?”

“Yes, the 4,000 soldiers will cross the desert and draw Duke Grid’s eyes, while 3,000 soldiers will attack from the rear.”

Reidan had many excellent talents, but there were only 1,000 soldiers. A diversion was highly likely to work. It wasn’t bad. However, Earl Ashur found it hard to answer.

Teleporting 3,000 people?

It might be possible for the legendary Braham, but it was hard for Earl Ashur.
