Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Outside the west gate, the 2nd Battalion was already engaged in a battle with the enemy's cavalry corps and strong armored corps.

The initial raid did have some effect.

But with the arrival of the subsequent strong armored legion as reinforcements, the situation immediately turned around.

The Strong Armor Corps used their shields to pin the 2nd Battalion down near the gate, preventing them from moving.

It successfully bought the cavalry corps time to regroup.

Even though Warrant Officer Bass and the soldiers of Squad 8 fought hard and faced two large legions at once, they were still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

The soldiers on the Empire's side fell one after another.

The battle situation at the west gate of the fortress finally gradually tilted towards the Principality.

Hull knew that he had to fight quickly and decisively, as the Principality's fighting power was stronger than he had imagined.

It's the case on our side, and General Lei Dian's strength is far above those of the two legion commanders. The situation at the North Gate must be even more difficult.

Hull shook his right wrist, and the hand axe emitting icy light shone brightly and brilliantly. It seemed that he could still fight.

This wand was seized by Hel from the captured Cumin magician, Sanum, during his battle with the Cumin.

Hull named it "Ice Wheel".

This is also the only magic wand in Hull's hand that carries a seventh-grade magic orb.

After Hull's manual adjustments, the power of this magic wand has been further enhanced, and it is also the ultimate weapon he prepared for this tough battle.

"Captain Zod...while the enemy is attacking from outside the city, quickly order the soldiers to charge in. If we can capture the west gate, we can capture the Empire's fortress today."

Army Commander Zod nodded: "Originally it was my duty to use magic to open the western gate of the Imperial Fortress. Now, we can only rely on the soldiers to use their bodies to open the road to victory!"

"I'm sorry... this is all because of me."

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, don't say such discouraging words."

Commander Zod waved his hand at the elite strong armor soldiers around him and said, "This battle is not for you to participate in. Go and reinforce! We must open the Imperial fortress!"

The soldiers under his command understood and rushed towards the west gate of the fortress.

Legion Commander Zod protected Legion Commander Needle, holding the golden hammer tightly in both hands.

Originally, he only needed five minutes to fill up the magic wand with magic power, and then it would be easy to blast open the fortress gate.

Seeing that his companions were defeated, he had no choice but to abandon the planned attack on the city and rush to provide reinforcements.

As a result, only about 70% of the magic power was accumulated, making it impossible to use that move perfectly.

"You are Helheim who killed Captain Koha, right? You are a respectable opponent who was able to defeat Captain Nidel with your strength."

"How about it? Are you interested in joining the Principality of Diorudo? As long as you are willing to kowtow and apologize in front of the tomb of Corps Commander Koha, I am willing to recommend you to Reinhardt to become a Corps Staff Officer, with the same status as the Corps Commander!"

"That's a good proposal, but I'd like to modify it a little. If you are willing to lay down your wands and surrender, I am willing to guarantee your safety and the basic dignity of being a captive."

Upon hearing this, Commander Zod was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

Behind him, Commander Needle held a spear-shaped wand in one hand and placed the other on Commander Zod's shoulder.

In the previous battle with Hel, he had lost more than half of his magic power.

"Captain Zod, don't underestimate that man. At this moment, we can only win by joining forces."

It was hard for Commander Zod to imagine that the man before him could make Commander Needle so fearful.

But since even Commander Needle, who has been following General Raiden for many years, said so.

It seems that we must respond with all our strength.

"I understand." Commander Zod replied in a deep voice.

Commander Needle took a deep breath, then cheered himself up, stood on the left side of Commander Zod with a spear in hand.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Helheim of the Empire, please allow us to fight you in this manner. It is not an honor to fight two against one. I apologize for accusing you of assassinating the commander of the Koha Legion..."

"Like you said, this is a war, and in order to win, we must do what we should do!"

Hull shook his head: "No need to apologize, I don't take it to heart."

"Really? Then..." Legion Commander Needle assumed a fighting stance.

"Let's get started!" Commander Zod raised the golden hammer and shouted in a deep voice.

The whole body of the Zod Army Commander was shining with golden light, and he had transformed into a golden giant about four or five meters tall.

"The magic wand [Taurus] allows me to temporarily transform into this golden giant form. Lieutenant of the Empire, as an apology for attacking you, I can only say - be careful!"

Legion Commander Zod, who transformed into a golden giant, rushed towards Hull holding a golden giant hammer that was seven or eight meters long.

Every step made a dull thumping sound.

The distance of seventy or eighty meters was reached in a flash, and the swung hammer was like a mountain pressing down on one's head.

Not only did the body become huge, but the wand itself also became huge, and its strength and speed increased so much that it was visibly indestructible...

Really nice...

A smile appeared on Hull's lips, but unfortunately, that was not enough.

Hull raised the [Ice Wheel] above his head and then swung it three times at the golden giant.

Hundreds of ice crystal flywheels with a diameter of more than one meter were ejected. Even though he turned into a golden giant, Commander Zod could not withstand this attack.

"Captain Zod! Be careful!"

Legion Commander Needle manipulated the spear-shaped magic wand in his hand - [White Snake], and controlled the broken boulders on the ground to crash into the flying ice crystal flywheel, which finally offset some of the impact force and also caused the trajectory of the ice crystal flywheel to shift.

But even so, many parts of Captain Zod's body were broken, golden magic particles dissipated in the air, and golden liquid flowed out of the wounds.

After Hull's transformation, the magic output of [Ice Wheel] has increased by more than ten times.

Of course, the consumption of magic power also increased by at least ten times.

After yesterday's assassination of Corps Commander Koha, Hull had already lost some of his magic power, and last night he treated more than 800 lightly wounded soldiers.

With the magic reserves inherited from the previous life, Hull's magic value is far beyond imagination, but he can't withstand such consumption.

What's more, he would have to fight against the Thunder General later.

Logically, the consumption of magic power must be reduced.

But now the West Gate is in danger, and the battle here must be ended quickly. Every minute of delay will result in the loss of several soldiers.

Forget it... let's just be willful for once...

Hull raised the [Ice Wheel] above his head again, but this time, the frosty aura around him was obviously raised to a higher level.

The breath turned into mist and the temperature dropped drastically. That was the result of Hel further injecting magic power into the [Ice Wheel].

"Swipe!"

Thousands of ice crystal flywheels broke through the air, and the golden giant did not dare to be negligent this time.

In desperation, he smashed the ground with a sledgehammer. The golden shock wave hit the flying ice crystal flywheel, and the earth seemed to be torn apart.

But in the end, he was defeated.

In an instant, the golden giant's right foot and left hand were chopped into pieces, and the whole person was cut in half.

"Zod!"

Legion Commander Needle was in a hurry to move forward and was hit in the chest. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible. Thanks to the automatic protection ability of the magic wand [White Snake], part of the attack was offset, so he was not cut into two pieces.

Wands above the seventh grade all have automatic defense capabilities, especially resistance to magic.

This is also the reason why Reinhardt believes that other legion commanders will not be assassinated.

The soldiers from both sides who were fighting fiercely at the west gate also felt the unusual atmosphere of this battlefield and turned their attention here.

"Captain Zod...actually..."

"Both legion commanders can't win?"

Shocked by Hel's magic, the soldiers of the Empire and the Principality were all stunned where they were.

After his body was broken, Commander Zod regained his human form and lay on the ground unable to move.

His left hand and right leg were broken, there was a big gap on his stomach, blood was constantly flowing out, and he was looking at the pale sky with a pair of terrified eyes, breathing barely a breath.

Hull was breathing heavily and was obviously not feeling well either. The shock wave just now also injured him.

"Using magic of this level beyond the specification, I almost broke the [Ice Wheel] and lost a lot of magic power... It was really too much..."

Hull took off the ice wheel, picked up [Broken Steel] in his right hand again, walked forward with all his strength, stepped heavily on Zod's chest with his right foot, and lowered his body to cut off his head.

At this time, a silver spear was thrown over. Hull looked up and saw Commander Needle half-kneeling on the ground with his hands covering his chest, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't kill him... Your Excellency, Commander Zod and I are willing to surrender to you and hand over our weapons..."

After saying that, he knocked his head heavily to the ground.

General Needle, who once accompanied General Raiden on the battlefield and commanded the cavalry corps to make the enemy tremble in fear.

Did he ever think at that time that one day he would surrender to the enemy?

The only reason he gave up his military honor was because he wanted to save the lives of his comrades.

"Needle...what are you talking about! We are all legion commanders of the Principality of Diordo. We can only die in battle. How can we surrender to the Empire?"

Hull glanced at Zod at his feet. This man was really a tough guy.

If an ordinary person suffered such a serious injury, he would probably have fainted, but at this moment, the butcher was still holding on with the knife hanging around his neck.

What a respectable opponent...

"I'm sorry... I can't accept your surrender. You still have the upper hand in this battle. Moreover, I can see that even if you surrender, you will wait for an opportunity to cause a commotion in the fortress and support General Lei Dian's attack outside... I don't have the extra time to watch over you."

"No, we will never do such dishonorable things. Didn't you say it before? Excellent magicians are rare treasures... After handing over the wand, plus the injuries on the body, it will take at least three or four months for them to recover their fighting strength."

"Needle...! I misjudged you! All you have to do is beg for mercy! I, Zod, will never surrender!"

Needle's expression was very ugly. He valued honor more than anyone else. If he was the only one here, he would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy.

Hel pushed harder and Zod immediately spat out blood.

Needle hurriedly tried to get up and run over, but Hull pointed [Broken Steel] at him, signaling him not to get close.

Hull hesitated a little and looked towards the west gate.

The looks from the strong armor soldiers and the Principality Cavalry soldiers made Hull frown.

They stared at Hull with hatred. The two legion commanders were no longer able to fight, but their fighting spirit was aroused.

It is foreseeable that the moment Hull killed their legion leader, in order to avenge their leader, they would immediately fight with the 2nd Battalion and the 8th Squadron until the last soldier...

Even if Hull rushed to reinforce as soon as possible, the 2nd Battalion, especially the 8th Squad at the front, would most likely be wiped out.

Hull couldn't decide whether to choose such a tragic victory.

Just as Hull hesitated, a loud noise came from the direction of the fortress's north gate.

That was the sound of the North Gate being broken open...

"Hahahaha...cough cough cough..." Zod laughed wildly, but was badly injured and coughed up a pool of dirty blood in the middle of his laugh.

"General Lei Dian is worthy of being General Lei Dian... The west gate we attacked did not break through the gate of the imperial fortress as planned. The general has turned the feint attack into the main attack. The north gate of your imperial fortress has been lost..."

"This... this war is a victory for our Principality of Diordo!!! Long live General Reinhardt!!!"
