The Herb King

Chapter 382: Meeting the Family Head of the Abaveron Family

"Sir Aethelwolf, the army will soon engage with the rebel force so I won't be able to respond for some time," William reported his situation to Aethelwolf. The approaching battle made him nervous, causing his shoulders to shake. He didn't expect that he would become a soldier from being a servant in the Golden Lake Manor.

"You need to keep yourself safe. Don't hesitate to use the defensive runes I gave you." A reply came from the communication rune.

"Yes, sir!"

"Alright. I will end the call here. Don't die and come back in one piece."

The call was disconnected after that.

William kept the communication crystal inside his storage item. It was then that he heard the gongs of war.

"It's starting!" He muttered. Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks when he sensed the blood-pumping atmosphere.

Looking at his subordinates, he forced out a calm look and shouted. "Let's go!"

At this moment, Kenneth commanded the reinforcement army to attack the rear of the rebel army.

"There's another army behind us!"

"Look out!"

Kenneth lifted his halberd and raised it in midair. "Charge! Kill them all!"

Hearing his fearsome roar, the fighting spirit of his troops was ignited.

"Kill the rebels!"

With their fierce attack, the rear position of the rebel army was breached. They couldn't even stop Kenneth's army. All they could do was watch in despair as their comrades died before their eyes.

The difference in military prowess was significant. Coupled with the presence of Kenneth and the other Nascent Soul Espers, they managed to break through the defensive walls constructed by the rebel army.

Charles got down from his mount and patted the man's shoulder. "Recuperate well and you will have the chance to join us again in battle."

"Yes, sir!"

"Where is your family head?" Charles asked.

"The family head is at the emergency ward. Sir Jusuf's situation is worsening so he stayed there to watch over him." The commander sighed with a downcast look.

Charles frowned at his words. "Bring me to see him!"

"Yes, sir!"

The commander brought them to the emergency ward. There were a lot of soldiers waiting nervously in the hallways.

"What are you guys doing here? You can't disturb Sir Jusuf!" The soldiers immediately blocked their path.

Seeing this, the commander immediately explained the situation. "Relax, comrades! This man right here is Sir Charles Featherkind and this is Sir Kenneth Suliman of Northern Trance. They came here to check on Sir Jusuf's situation and inform the family head about the result of the battle."

"Is that so?"

With his patient explanation, they managed to enter the emergency ward.

"Charles?" A surprised voice drifted into their ears the moment they entered the room. The smell of medicinal herbs assaulted their nostrils, but they didn't react.

"Sir Dan." Charles nodded at the old man sitting beside the bed.

Kenneth stared at the old man. This guy was the family head of the Abaveron Family. He looked very old and his withered arms were as thin as a stick.

Dan Abaveron nodded back in response. He then turned his gaze to Kenneth and raised his eyebrows in confusion. "This gentleman is?"

"This man is Sir Kenneth Suliman. He is the grand commander of the reinforcements sent by Northern Trance. Because of their help, we managed to reclaim one district."

"Greetings, Sir Dan." Kenneth didn't dare act arrogantly in front of the old man. Despite the latter's advancing age, he was as strong as the Suliman Family's patriarch!
