Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Reinhardt moved to an arrow tower at the west gate and leaned against the railing.

The view here is very broad.

You can see the entire picture of the troops outside the city attacking the western gate of the Imperial Fortress.

Once Corps Commander Yuta leads the light infantry corps into the fortress, you can go down and join them.

Then, all the imperial soldiers here were cleared out.

Use this place as a stronghold for attack and gradually expand to occupy all four gates of the imperial fortress.

As for those cowards trapped in the military department, they were easily caught.

Now let's take a short break and recover the lost magic power.

"Come to think of it, why is there still no movement at the North Gate?"

At this moment, Reinhardt felt an unusual magical power like that of a wild beast.

Then there was a loud bang, and the north gate collapsed.

"The credit for being the first to reach the summit goes to me! Gah!!!"

The Duchy soldiers under the city immediately rushed towards the west gate at full speed.

I saw a huge warrior wearing a black full body plate armor and emitting dark red magic fluctuations all over his body, holding the head of the first soldier.

With a burst of strength, he crushed the soldier's head with his bare hands like a watermelon!

Seeing this, Reinhardt couldn't help but frowned: "This extraordinary power, could it be some kind of monster raised by the imperial people?"

It wasn't over yet. The warrior in dark red plate armor, like a tiger descending from the mountains, killed the Principality soldiers approaching the west gate one by one with just his fists and feet.

"What kind of monster is this!"

The soldiers retreated one after another, but some fearless soldiers went upstream.

"Don't panic! Let me deal with him!"

The gate was right in front of them, and victory would be achieved as long as they could break in. Seeing their comrades charging, the other soldiers of the Principality were not to be outdone, and they raised their weapons and rushed forward.

The soldier who rushed out first was nearly 1.9 meters tall, had a beard, and held two axes in his hands.

He wielded a pair of axes with great vigor, his steps were steady and his body was very flexible.

He kept swinging and slashing at the monster like a spinning top.

Each strike created sparks on the black armor, but unfortunately it seemed to have no effect.

"How can it be so hard? I don't believe it can't be cut open!"

The soldier jumped up suddenly with his legs kicking off the ground, raised the axe above his head with both hands, and chopped at the monster's head at the same time.

Two dull sounds of metal colliding were heard, and the blades of the two axes broke at the same time.

"how so?!"

The monster knocked the Principality soldier to the ground with one punch, then jumped over and crushed his head with its legs.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The monster roared like a wild beast towards the sky, and then, like a vicious tiger, it used its bare hands to tear the approaching Principality soldiers into pieces.

That terrifying aura was like a disaster that had taken shape. Captain Lorenzo, who saw it all, was already sweating profusely.

"Lieutenant Hull...you...what on earth were you thinking? You actually gave such a dangerous wand to Goliath..."

[Fierce Armor and Savage Bones] is the only inscribed object created by Hell.

The Grade 5 magic orb installed on it also took a lot of effort and some unspeakable tricks to obtain this superior treasure.

This is the most top-level magic wand Hull has ever owned. The magic contained in it is so crazy that even he cannot control it.

Once [Fierce Armor and Savage Bones] is activated, the user's five senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch will all be blocked, and the user will not feel pain, completely transforming into a bloodthirsty berserker.

Even if the body is twisted by external forces, bones are broken, and muscles are torn, the armor itself can temporarily connect the broken parts and maintain the user's ability to move.

He knows no danger, no fear, and will continue to fight even if he is seriously injured.

Until the last drop of blood is shed...

"Guard the west gate and don't let anyone in." Captain Lorenzo gave this order when Goliath activated his magic wand.

Now, as long as Goliath is alive, this west gate is a demon gate that no one can pass through.

Sure enough, faced with such a terrifying force, even the soldiers of the Principality did not dare to approach rashly.

But Goliath didn't seem to be stopping there.

The dark red plate armor on the back of [Fierce Armor and Barbarian Bone] suddenly opened, and Goliath pulled out a black chain sword from his back that looked very much like a human spine.

With a heavy swing, the black chain sword extended more than ten meters and directly entangled a soldier of the Principality.

Like a giant centipede entangled with a grasshopper.

"Help...help me!"

The retractable black chain sword was pulled back, and the soldier and his weapon were cut into several pieces, with blood and filth scattered all over the ground.

The soldiers of the Principality had never seen such a situation before, and they all retreated. Legion Commander Yuta also knew that he could not attack rashly, otherwise even if he had many fearless warriors, they would not be enough to fight.

I wonder where the Imperials found this monster!

There was no choice but to order a temporary halt to the attack.

Goliath stopped moving only after the soldiers of the Principality retreated several hundred meters. He stood there like a sleeping statue.

Scarlet breath emanated from the helmet.

The chain sword in his hand, like a rattlesnake, trembled from time to time while lying on the ground, as if to confirm whether there were any living things around.

"Look! The Principality has retreated!"

Discordant shouts were heard among the fleeing army, which Major Schneider was a part of.

Major Schneider was also surprised to hear more and more soldiers shouting like this. Logically, the Principality should have already attacked by now.

But there are no enemy troops inside the west gate at this moment?

Could it be that Captain Lorenzo and that soldier blocked the Principality's attack?

If that's the case, how could I miss such an opportunity to make a contribution!

Being able to block the attack of Reinhard's army head-on, he will surely be rewarded after the war, and he may even be promoted to lieutenant colonel!

I have the merit of defending the north gate, even if someone accuses me of escaping.

You can also refute it by saying, "I was just leading the troops in a tactical retreat."

Just do it!

"Go back! The enemy has retreated! Don't let others take away the credit!"

But the soldiers around just looked at each other, with distrust of Major Schneider in their eyes.

Who made him the first one to turn around and run away?

There was no choice but for Major Schneider to straighten his collar, brush off the dirt on his body, push through the crowd, and walk to the front of the team.

He pointed his finger in the direction of the west gate and shouted.

"Come on! Follow me!"

But as soon as he returned with the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Battalions, he saw Reinhard standing next to Captain Lorenzo.

The [Thunder Dragon Bird Slayer] was placed on Captain Lorenzo's neck.

"Who was lying about military intelligence just now! Isn't that monster Reinhardt still in the fortress?"

He wanted to retreat quickly, but there were already crowds of people behind him.

Oops, there’s a traffic jam behind.

Stay calm...don't panic...if I start shouting now and get discovered by Reinhardt, I'll be the first to die!

Stay calm and don't act rashly.

Reinhardt had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold. He stood next to Captain Lorenzo, holding the [Thunder Dragon Bird] in his right hand.

"How about this? Tell that monster to give up resistance now, or you will lose your head immediately."

Captain Lorenzo's face turned pale. Some people don't want to die, but everyone doesn't want to live, especially when someone has a knife on their neck. No one would look good.

"It's useless. Goliath can't hear anyone's voice now. Only Lieutenant Helheim knows how to stop [Fierce Armor and Bone]."

Reinhardt was slightly stunned.

So the monster's name is Goliath. I thought he was Helheim...

It looks like an advanced variant of some kind of berserk ability.

This kind of magic is the most difficult to deal with. It's okay against one-on-one enemies, but it's a deadly weapon for the military.

If a monster like this is used as the vanguard of an attack, even the well-armored soldiers in formation will not be able to stop him.

I had to do it myself...

Reinhardt put the [Thunder Dragon Bird] back into the scabbard at his waist and walked down the city wall leisurely.

Get ready to solve this big problem.

Captain Lorenzo's voice came from behind.

"You...you're not going to kill me?"

Reinhard scratched his head. "You are Captain Lorenzo, right? Your magic power is mediocre, and your combat ability is only third-rate. However, you are a man of great savvy. What do you think? After we win this battle, would you consider joining the Principality of Diordo? I am in need of someone like you."

"That's probably difficult, because you will definitely lose this battle."

"Hehehe..." Reinhardt sneered: "It seems that you think that monster can stop me? If that's the case..."

"No, you misunderstood. I know Goliath is no match for you, but you can't win this battle because there is another person in this fortress who can turn the tide of the battle."

Reinhardt didn't like being interrupted when he was speaking, especially by an Imperial.

But Captain Lorenzo's words aroused his interest.

"You mean Lieutenant Helheim?"

"That's right. Up to now, there has been no news of victory from the West Gate that you are attacking. Aren't you curious about what happened over there?"

Oh? It seems that Lieutenant Helheim should have gone to defend the west gate.

Did he see through my strategy and knew in advance that the North Gate, which I was responsible for, was just a feint attack?

At this moment, the sound of advancing troops was heard from the northeast. Are they reinforcements coming from the north gate of the empire?

Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Battalions who had been retreating also turned back under the leadership of that stupid major.

As soon as Reinhardt made eye contact with the stupid major, the other's face once again showed the kind of horrified expression that made people lose interest in killing him.

However, Reinhardt was somewhat interested in the imperial reinforcements coming from the direction of the north gate.

The reinforcements from the northern gate of the Imperial Fortress were led by a black-haired young man, who, judging by the shoulder straps on his uniform, held the rank of second lieutenant.

Behind him were more than thirty soldiers, all covered in mud, some with wounds. They looked extremely miserable, but their expressions showed their high morale.

Compared to the group of lambs in the 1st and 3rd Battalions, this is the expression a soldier should have.

But when Reinhardt saw it clearly, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

The black-haired young man held two magic wands in his left and right hands respectively - a spear and a golden giant hammer.

How could Reinhardt not recognize it?

That is... the [White Snake] of the Nedel Army Commander, and the [Golden Bull] of the Zod Army Commander...

Have they both been defeated?

When the black-haired young man met Reinhard's eyes, there was no expression on his face. He just raised his head slightly. Then, a junior officer with the rank of warrant officer came out, escorting a prisoner who was tied up.

"Hey, hey, hey... Are you kidding me..." Reinha had already pulled out the [Thunder Dragon Bird] with his right hand, his eyes filled with a hint of disbelief and murderous intent.

"Needle...you actually willingly became a prisoner of the Empire!"

Reinhardt did not attack immediately.

Because the distance is not enough, the rapid attack of [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird] can only be effective within a hundred meters.

Commander Needle has followed Reinhardt for many years and naturally knows Reinhardt's temper.

At this moment, he just looked at Reinhardt, opened his mouth several times, as if he was hesitating whether to explain, but in the end he nodded silently.

"You are General Reinhardt, right? It is my honor to see General Raiden in person."

"I am Lieutenant Helheim of the Imperial Army. Don't get me wrong, Commander Nieder did not betray his country. He just made a deal with me."
