Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Masain, the "ferocious tiger", is a natural-born war maniac. He always leads the troops in every battle, as if he was born for the battlefield.

He once led 3,000 soldiers to defeat an entire enemy division (about 12,000 men) head-on.

When the blocking battle entered its white-hot stage, Masai, who was fighting with the enemy, was shot in the left eye by an enemy archer and fell off his horse. In front of his subordinates and the enemy, Masai pulled out the arrow and ate his own eyeball, then took up his sword, mounted his horse and rushed into the enemy's archery formation. He alone exerted the momentum of thousands of people, and pinned tens of thousands of enemy soldiers under his crotch and beat them until they cried and screamed.

Eventually, the enemy's morale collapsed and they completely withdrew from the battlefield.

But even many years after the war ended, the surviving enemy soldiers were often haunted by nightmares of the ferocious tiger.

In the dream, they were running in front, and behind them was Masain, who was rushing towards them with a big knife in his hand and chewing eyeballs, and behind him were endless vicious tigers with their bloody mouths wide open.

A large number of soldiers never dared to step onto the battlefield for the rest of their lives.

Since joining the army for nearly thirty years, Masayin has never left the front line, and has fought in many battlefields across the country and made many military achievements.

As early as more than ten years ago, the central government proposed to promote him to lieutenant general more than once, but Major General Masayin directly refused on the grounds that "lieutenant generals cannot go to the battlefield in person."

A deep-rooted battle addict, he seems to be born for war.

The troops led by such a fierce general, Su Lao, suppressed the entire castle in a short time.

All civil officials, including Nur Ghana, had their arms tied with ropes and were taken to the castle square.

Everyone knelt on the ground. At this time, a young general with red and green eyes came to the side of Major General Masayin.

"All key nodes in the city have been suppressed." The young man bowed.

"Thanks for your hard work"

Adjutant Brand, known as the "Eye of the Tiger", is one of the battlefield orphans taken in by Masayin. He has been raised in the army and received guidance from Masayin since he was a child.

Not only did he inherit the brutality of the fierce tiger, but his judgment of the war situation and tactical level were even better than the fierce tiger's.

At the age of less than 30, he is already a senior officer at the rank of lieutenant colonel and one of the rising stars of the empire.

Rumor has it that Xionghu had already handed over the command of his legion to him, and several of Oster's great victories in recent years were also due to his handiwork.

——With his command, Major General Masayin can naturally concentrate on killing the enemy.

Major General Masayin walked towards Noor Gana.

With every step he took, the heavy armor on his body made a hoarse metallic collision sound. The long-handled sword that had chopped off countless heads was dragged behind him, and the blade left a long gap along the way and stopped at the side of Nur Gana's body.

——If he dares to move recklessly, he will be broken into two pieces immediately!

Nur Ghana had been staying in the safe rear all year round and had never seen such a scene. His pants were soaked and gave off a frowning smell of urine.

"Why did the supply stop?"

All officers who have been watered in the blood of battlefields for many years are born with a kind of majesty. Major General Masayin only gave Nur Gana a look, and his body was frozen, and he dared not even move.

"Misunderstanding! This is all an accident!"

"Did something go wrong?"

Masayn immediately placed the long-handled knife on Nur Gana's neck, and the blade flashed a strange light in the sunlight.

Like the cries of hundreds of ghosts at night, the souls who died under this knife groaned in pain in Nur Gana's ears.

"A mistake on the battlefield means death."

"No! It's not my fault if there's any mistakes! I'm innocent!"

"So, who is responsible?"

"Gilder, quickly explain the whole story to Major General Masayin!"

Noor Ghana shouted loudly at this critical moment of life and death.

When his name was called, Gilder showed a disdainful expression, but after a light sigh, he began to explain.

"I am a senior government official in the Ministry of Government Affairs. My name is Gilder. There is no doubt that the failure of the supplies to arrive on time was our fault. This is the fault of all officials in East Territory. I have no intention of concealing it. I am really sorry."

Gilder lowered his head, and the other officials followed suit.

"In fact, we had already sent out a transport team more than a month ago, but they were attacked during the transportation, and no one came back alive. Before you sent a letter to contact us, we didn't even have this information, which resulted in the subsequent supplies not being sent out in time. This is our responsibility, and I beg for your forgiveness."

Gilder stated the facts bluntly.

When people make mistakes, they always tend to make excuses for themselves and make shifting the blame their first priority.

But isn't the point to tell the truth honestly and come up with a strategy to make amends? What's important now is how to calm the fierce tiger's anger. Shifting the blame will only make things worse.

"I understand the details... But we can't just let this matter go. Do you know what it means to be cut off from supplies on the battlefield?"

"Dead, but we have urgently assigned the follow-up supply troops to rush to Oster Territory. It should be almost there now."

"Do you think everything will be fine if we send out the transport team again? Because the transport team was late, our army missed three great opportunities to attack!"

"We in East County can save your chance of victory."

Gilder answered every word with extraordinary confidence, which made Masayin curious.

"Humph! Kid! The fighting opportunity is fleeting. How can you save it? How can you save it?!"

Masayin instantly turned the long-handled knife in his hand and stabbed it towards Gilder's throat.

The tip of the knife scraped the skin just a little with extremely precise force, and blood dripped down thinly.

However, Gilder's answer still showed no sign of backing down.

"I understand! But as long as there is still a breath left, there is still a chance to turn things around even if you are in a desperate situation."

"Hehe..." Major General Masayin showed a bloodthirsty expression.

Things were not that bad at all. He knew his troops well. Even if they were cut off from food and surrounded by a large army, he was confident that he could turn defeat into victory.

He just wanted to see if this civil servant had the courage to argue with him when the knife was hanging over his neck.

"Hmph...don't make it too difficult for my colleagues, you fierce tiger."

At this time, Ganasde, the Minister of Resources, had a bored expression on his face, and was brought to Masain by the knights with his hands tied.

He exerted force with his hands, and the thick hemp ropes on his arms broke into several pieces. Seeing this, the knights under Marsain immediately surrounded him with swords and spears.

Ganasde just glanced at these young knights, and then looked at Major General Masayin.

"...Long time no see, Ganasde, so your old bones are buried here." Major General Masayin raised his hand towards the knights, and the knights immediately put away their swords and guns and retreated to the side.

Major General Masayin, who had a murderous expression on his face before, now showed an expression of meeting an old friend and a smile appeared on his face.

"Humph... We're all the same. I didn't expect to see a warmonger like you in this safe rear area."

"...Ganasde, are you and Major General Masayin old acquaintances?"

Nur Ghana knelt up straight with great effort as if he had seen a savior.

"Hmph... We can't really call each other old acquaintances. We just drank together, quarreled and fought together, and killed enemies side by side."

"You...why didn't you say so earlier!"

"..."

Gilder snorted in his heart. While the acting consul was busy covering up his own evidence, he and Minister Ganasde were discussing how to make Major General Masayin put his butcher knife back into its sheath.

First, Gilder confronted him head-on and explained the whole story clearly.

Afterwards, Minister Ganasde came forward as an old comrade to calm Major General Masayin down.

If Nur Ghana knew about this relationship, given his personality, he would definitely push Ganasde out to play the emotional card.

However, Masayin came to East Territory as a major general. After all, this was a public matter. If things were not made clear, even an old friend would not be able to get him to show mercy, and things might even get worse.

Moreover, after seeing clearly the character of this senior consul, Ganasde had no intention of letting him get involved.

——That will only hinder us.

"Hmph... Come to think of it, the Resources Department that I'm in charge of is also responsible for this matter. Every year, the center issues budget reduction targets to each territory, and it's even more severe in the East Territory. We are obviously partners in the battle, but I actually neglected to support the front line for this reason. This is indeed my dereliction of duty, Masayin, I'm really sorry."

Ganasde bowed his head and apologized to Major General Masayin.

This action surprised Masayin.

They used to be competitors, but they were also close friends fighting side by side on the front lines. He knew Ganasde's character very well, and he had never seen Ganasde bow his head to anyone.

"You...sigh..."

Masayin exhaled, without even raising his head, and threw the long-handled knife in his hand to the side.

Brand moved his feet and caught the long-handled knife.

The other knights with drawn swords also sheathed their weapons. In an instant, the tied-up officials all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brad, what do you think?"

When his name was called, Brad strode to the back of Masayin. He bowed to Minister Ganasde before answering: "...If you are willing to accept this reason, I have no objection, but there is one thing I am very concerned about."

Brad's actual age is in his early thirties, but his baby face makes him look like he's in his twenties.

If you just look at his face, you might mistake him for the young master of a noble family.

Those heterochromatic eyes gave off a cat-like elegance, yet concealed the keenness of a carnivore tracking its prey.

"What did you notice?" asked Masayn.

"This Lord Nur Gana is the highest official in the entire East Territory. Why did he leave the details to a high-ranking governor? This is a bit strange."

“I don’t think this matter is that simple.”
