Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

At dawn the next day, information was sent back to the fortress that the enemy's general, known as General Thunder, was marching towards the north gate.

On the other hand, the enemy's proud cavalry and strong armored troops gathered at the west gate.

The enemy concentrated all its forces in the west and north, apparently intending to make a breakthrough.

According to the battle plan prepared in advance, Major Schneider, Captain Casar and Captain Danzig led their soldiers to gather at the north gate to prepare to deal with General Lei Dian's attack.

"Captain Lorenzo, take Goliath to reinforce the north gate, and leave the west to me."

"I...I understand. Then I'll leave the Simian to you!"

Captain Lorenzo led Goliath, who was carrying a giant siege crossbow, and rushed towards the north gate without stopping.

Hull climbed up the west city wall and carefully stuck his head out to observe.

Outside the western gate of the fortress, the strong armored soldiers formed an airtight shield formation and slowly walked towards the gate, shouting and roaring with every step.

Legion Commander Needle led the roaring cavalry and charged right in front of the strong armored soldiers, constantly attracting the attention of the fortress walls above their heads.

Standing on the city wall, Hull clearly felt something was wrong.

He could clearly feel the magical aura emanating from beneath the shield wall of the strong armored soldiers.

That is the reaction that occurs when a magician concentrates his magic power into his wand.

There was no doubt that Captain Zod, who led the powerful soldiers, was hiding under the shield, slowly accumulating magic power.

The most likely purpose was to break through the western fortress gate in one fell swoop.

"The Duchy's army commanders are indeed worthy of their reputation. Judging from the concentration of magic power in their bodies, these two are definitely not ordinary people."

The legion commander of the principality is at least equivalent to the level of a major in the empire, and Legion Commander Needle is at least one level higher.

"In that case, let me take the initiative!"

Naturally, Hull would not give the other party the opportunity to break down the fortress gate. Hull was seen holding a quill-shaped magic wand in his left hand.

The magic wand - [Floating Feather], which is a magic wand that can temporarily reduce one's weight to zero.

He raised his [Floating Feather] and jumped off the city wall. He kicked his legs against the wall behind him and flew towards the Principality's cavalry like a paraglider.

In mid-air, Hull held another magic wand in his right hand, and the magic orb on the top was flashing with khaki magic light.

"Goo!"

Dozens of cavalrymen, the fastest charging, suddenly fell off their horses.

No one knew what happened, but all the legs of their horses were broken.

The cavalrymen who followed hurriedly tightened their reins.

As a result of this incident, the mobility of the Principality's cavalry was greatly reduced.

Legion Commander Needle was the most rational. He immediately understood that it must be the effect of some magic.

"Tsk... All troops stop! Shoot! Shoot quickly!"

Legion Commander Needle immediately ordered his cavalry corps to change to bows and arrows and shoot arrows at Helwan.

Hull just waved the magic wand in his right hand, and the arrows fell all around after entering a distance of more than ten meters in front of Hull.

"Now! Team 8! Attack!"

At the shout of Warrant Officer Bass, the gate of the fortress was opened, and 8 soldiers from the 40th Squad rushed out together.

Warrant Officer Bass was the first to finish off a cavalryman who had just gotten up.

The army of the principality never expected that the imperial army would dare to charge out of the city, and was caught off guard.

Many cavalrymen were killed by the soldiers of the 8th Squad before they could even change into melee weapons.

And this is not the end yet. The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion that were originally defending the inner wall of the fortress have also rushed out and fought with the cavalry of the Principality.

On the other side, Hull landed smoothly in front of Legion Commander Needle.

"I didn't expect that there would be someone in the Imperial Fortress who could control two wands at the same time..."

"For me, there is no special feeling. If you work a little harder, maybe you can do it too." Hull smiled.

"Hmph, one magic wand gives you the ability to fly, and the other one should control the wind..."

"It's not as powerful as you think. This [Floating Feather] can reset my weight to zero, and the other one can increase the gravity of objects within a certain range."

Magic Wand - [Earth Bind], can control objects within a range of up to thirty meters, increasing their gravity to about three times the normal level.

The magic orb was of the lowest grade, and it could only do small things like deflect long-range arrows and knock cavalry off their horses.

Those cavalrymen were not equipped with heavy bows, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy.

"Boy, tell me your name!"

"As for me, I'm just an insignificant lieutenant. Asking so many questions won't do you any good."

"Lieutenant? You...you are that Helheim, right!"

"Um... so what if you know? Do you want to surrender and join the Imperial Army? If so, I would welcome you very much."

"What a joke! Why would I surrender to a weakling like you?"

"Weak? Do you mean that if my strength is far superior to yours, you will consider surrendering?"

"That is absolutely impossible. I have sworn to shed my last drop of blood for the Principality of Diorudo."

"Really? That's a pity. Excellent magicians are rare treasures. In this case, I can only take off your head with tears in my eyes."

At this moment, Hull's eyes were like knives, staring at Legion Commander Needle in front of him.

"I want to ask you something..."

"Hmm? Please go ahead."

"You were the one who assassinated the commander of the Koha Corps, right?"

"Yes, that excellent archer and his army of archers are too dangerous."

"One more..."

"What did you say?"

"I have one more reason to kill you. That guy was my best friend, and you killed him with such despicable means... I must use your blood to pay tribute to his soul in heaven!"

"Really? So that person is so important to you. I'm sorry, but this is a war. I just did what I should do to win. If you think my victory is dishonorable, just defeat me one-on-one with your strength."

As soon as Heer said this, the magic power in his body began to surge.

"Varied..."

The next moment, Commander Needle opened his mouth wide.

"What...what is that!"

A complex magic circle appeared behind Hull, with seven magic wands floating in the circle, shining with magical luster.

"It seems that there are really not many people in this world who can manipulate multiple wands?"

Hull murmured and put down the magic wand [Earthbound] in his right hand, and then another magic wand flew to Hull's right hand.

Legion Commander Needle had already raised the magic wand in his hand, but unfortunately, he was a step too late. Hull exerted force with his legs and, with the help of the [Floating Feather] effect, was catapulted directly into the air.

Then, Hull raised the fiery red wand in his right hand above his head.

A tremendous amount of flaming power gathered at the top of the red wand and formed a miniature sun.

"[Emperor Yan]!"

A huge explosion resounded across the battlefield. Commander Needle was fine under the protection of his magic wand, but at least a hundred cavalrymen around him were blown to ashes.

This power was far beyond the expectations of Legion Commander Needle. He was unable to react for a moment and could only look around blankly.

"I'm sorry, in order to prevent your subordinates from interrupting our battle, I can only eliminate them first."

"The Cavalry Corps, don't get involved! This guy is very dangerous, you can't deal with him! If you rashly get involved, you will only die. Disperse! Disperse!"

Under the command of Legion Commander Needle, the cavalrymen looked at each other and then made enough space for the battle between the magicians.

Hull gave a bitter smile, opened his right hand, and let the magic wand, which had lost its flaming luster, fly back into the magic circle behind him.

"Don't worry, [Emperor Yan] can only be used once a day, and it is no longer effective in our battle. However, your judgment is very correct. If other people get involved, it will only hinder our battle."

"How generous of you to choose to use up a wand of that power right away."

Legion Commander Needle jumped off his warhorse and slapped his mount hard, telling it to run away.

"It doesn't matter. It's a rare opportunity for me to have a real fight with a strong man. I have saved a lot of treasures ready to test them."

At this moment, Commander Needle also poured all his magic power into the wand.

In an instant, the swords, spears and other weapons of the dead soldiers all floated up and were thrown towards Hull in mid-air.

"I see. It looks like a higher-level variant of telekinesis or something like that."

Hull also put away his smile, and a fan-shaped magic wand flew from behind and landed in his right hand.

He opened the fan and swung it heavily to the side. Hurricane immediately took Hull to the other side, avoiding the attack and falling to the ground.

Hull called this fan-shaped wand [Wind Song].

"You can really fly freely. You are such a scary guy."

"If I had that kind of convenient means, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

There was no need for Hull to lie. Humans have had the desire to fly since ancient times. This is a worship of the sky engraved in their genes.

Hull will be no exception.

Unfortunately, he has not developed that kind of wand until now.

I haven't gotten my hands on magic orbs of sufficient quality yet, and using [Wind Roar] and [Floating Feathers] to give myself the ability to glide in the air is the best I can do right now.

Heer didn't waste any more words and waved [Wind] again to blow away all the weapons on the ground.

"In addition to gliding, Fengming also has this effect. What do you think? Is my work okay?"

"Hmph...so that's it!" Legion Commander Needle shouted.

Cracks began to appear on the ground, and dozens of huge rocks were peeled off from the ground. Each boulder weighed at least several tons, and all of them smashed towards Hull.

"What a mess...An attack of this magnitude will definitely not be effective with [Feng Ming]."

Heer put away [Wind Roar], and suddenly a long-handled sickle-shaped magic wand appeared in his right hand.

Chop the huge rock that is coming towards you into two pieces.

He then dodged left and right under the bombardment of boulders, while using his magic wand to cut off the unavoidable boulders.

“How could it be…!”

"This is a magic wand with enhanced slashing effect. I call it [Broken Steel]. It is even better than the agate iron that your principality is so proud of."

Hel flew out from the smoke and dust raised by the boulder. With the effect of [Floating Feathers], Hel's advancing speed was comparable to that of a running warhorse.

The [Broken Steel] held high in the air was reflected in the horrified eyes of Legion Commander Nedl.

"If you don't have any other moves, our fight is over."

At such a close distance, Commander Needle was already powerless to resist. There was no doubt that this guy named Hull had far more control over his wand than he did.

At the moment when the outcome is about to be decided.

Hel felt a suffocating magical aura coming from behind him.

Relying on instinct, he only had time to raise [Broken Steel] to block.

The next moment, a heavy blow that almost broke Hull's wrist knocked him hundreds of meters away.

Hull pressed his body against the ground and barely stopped.

Before Hull could stand up, he felt the blood rushing up, his throat became sweet, and he immediately vomited a pool of dirty blood.

The blow just now actually injured my internal organs.

Looking at his right hand, his knuckles had been cracked.

This was through the [Broken Steel]. If his physical body had taken this blow, Hull would probably have been turned into a pool of meat paste by now.

It's really unimaginable power.

Hel looked towards the source of the magic.

A sturdy man wearing heavy armor and holding a golden hammer was trying to pull up Legion Commander Needle, who had not yet recovered from his shock, from the ground.

Around them, hundreds of armored soldiers rushed over and set up a shield wall.

"Captain Zod...why...why are you here?"

"I'm sorry, Commander Needle, I have interrupted your sacred duel without permission, but I don't want to see any of my companions die in vain. Please allow me to fight with you..."

"No, I should be the one apologizing. I am not strong enough to win this duel. Please fight alongside me!"

Hull struggled to get up from the ground.

"I was too careless. I was so focused on the battle at hand that I forgot about the other strong man..."

Hel dropped the [Broken Steel] and held a hand axe emitting icy light in his right hand.

Gritting his teeth, enduring the severe pain in his palms and body, Hull walked towards the shield wall formation that was ready for battle.
