Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

By dusk, the Principality had withdrawn from the battlefield and both sides ceased fighting.

Outside the west gate, Hur came to Goliath.

[Fierce Armor and Barbarian Bones] feeds on people's emotions, and loves the anger in battle and the fear of the enemy before death the most.

As long as you remain completely emotionless, you won't have any reaction.

After taking a look at the corpses of the Principality soldiers around him, Hull's gaze returned to Goliath, who stood in front of him like a steel statue.

Hull's face was calm, with no expression at all.

He stretched out his right hand and placed it on Goliath's back, muttering softly.

"Disarm."

Immediately, [Fierce Armor and Savage Bones] transformed into countless black beetles and peeled off from Goliath's body.

In front of Yu Heer, there was a pointed pillar standing on the ground again.

"Goliath...Goliath...are you okay?"

Only then did a slightly worried expression appear on Hull's face.

This [Fierce Armor and Savage Bones] is extremely dangerous, even Heer has no confidence that he can control it.

We had no choice but to give it to Goliath.

I just hope that Goliath doesn't die because of this.

“Snoring…Snoring…Snoring…”

"..."

Hull listened to Goliath's snoring, and dreamed that saliva was flowing out from the corners of Goliath's mouth.

Goliath had mastered this technique of sleeping while standing while standing guard at the door of Hull's room.

"Heer...you're here? What happened? Why did I fall asleep?"

Hull carefully examined Goliath's entire body. The muscles in his hands, feet and abdomen were torn, his wrists and thighs were bruised, and his head seemed to have been hit hard.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have persisted until now. If you hadn't been here to stop the attack of the Principality, that Thunder General would not have been able to retreat honestly."

"Really...did you manage to hold it? That's great...right..."

"What's wrong? Tell me." Hull supported Goliath who was about to lose his balance.

"I...I'm...so hungry..."

Goliath spoke like a little kid, his stomach rumbling at this very moment.

Goliath was still in a hazy state after suffering a severe blow to the head.

The injuries on his body are probably more serious than they appear.

"You have played the role of more than a hundred people today. I will prepare a feast for a hundred people."

"Really... Then I can have a good meal..."

Hull shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Come here, come here quickly! Send Goliath to the infirmary immediately!"

However, the soldiers from the 1st and 3rd Battalions who were cleaning up the battlefield nearby did not dare to approach.

"Hey... He was guarding the North Gate for you. Is this how you treat your savior?"

Everyone around looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.

Captain Lorenzo was the first to run over.

"Leave Goliath to me. You are seriously injured, so you should go and get some rest."

"Captain Lorenzo, please don't interfere. I still need to discuss the next battle plan with you. I order you to come here quickly! Don't make me say it a third time!"

Hull was rarely angry. If this group of people had not retreated without permission, how could Goliath face the attack of the principality alone.

"Shangguan! Leave Goliath to us. Hey! Don't just stand there!"

Warrant Officer Bass, who arrived shortly afterwards, brought soldiers from Squad 8 to support Goliath.

Only after Bass and his men carried Goliath back to the fortress did Hull breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lieutenant Hull, don't blame them too much. Many soldiers were frightened just by seeing the corpses around Goliath."

"They had the guts to show their backs to a powerful enemy like Reinhardt, but after the battle, they were afraid of a comrade who saved their lives? I don't understand what these people are thinking!"

Captain Lorenzo had never seen Hull so angry.

He could only comfort her with kind words: "Not everyone is as strong as you."

"It has nothing to do with being strong or not. Even a stray dog ​​knows how to be grateful for a meal and a place to stay provided by its owner, let alone a soldier of the empire."

There was a look of contempt in Hull's eyes.

This group of people may not deserve victory at all.

"..."

The West Gate was defended by Hull and the 2nd Battalion, and the North Gate was defended by the 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion.

The atmosphere of the two defense nodes is really too different.

The 2th Squadron and the 4th Squadron under the 8nd Battalion had been with Hull for some time before. In addition, they were originally Captain Lorenzo's team, so every soldier was willing to obey Hull's orders.

After witnessing with their own eyes how powerful Hull was in overpowering the two legion commanders of the Principality, the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion wanted to worship Hull as their savior.

In comparison, the soldiers from the 1st and 3rd Battalions really disappointed Hull.

"Who gave you the authority to give orders to my troops here?"

The man's voice came from behind.

Hull looked over indifferently. After all the enemies retreated, Major Schneider showed that expression that made him feel sick again.

"You released the prisoners without permission, reached a deal with the enemy, and even wanted to use Reinhard to get rid of me. As the supreme commander here, if I now order your head to be chopped off, no one would dare to say no, right, Captain Lorenzo?"

Hull snorted coldly: "Isn't it too early to cross the river and destroy the bridge now? I just forced back the enemy's attack."

"You? You actually said that you pushed the enemy back? Don't be ridiculous! Today, the West Gate was defended by me and my 1st and 3rd Battalions who fought bravely. In the end, we managed to save the fortress. When did it become your achievement?"

Hull put his right hand into the lining of his clothes and was about to take out his wand, but Captain Lorenzo quickly grabbed him.

"Major Schneider is right! I saw it clearly at the west gate. This battle was entirely due to Major Schneider's proper command. The 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion fought bravely, and they successfully repelled the attack launched by General Reinhardt. Major Schneider's strategic planning really amazed me, it was amazing!"

Captain Lorenzo nodded and said these words, and a smile immediately appeared on Major Schneider's face.

"Hahahaha, only a captain of my empire would have such awareness. As for me, I have also been in the army for a long time. Of course I know that Lieutenant Hull's conversation with that Reinhard was just a strategy of concealment. How can I hold such an excellent subordinate like Lieutenant Hull accountable?"

Major Schneider walked up with a smile and placed his right hand heavily on Hull's shoulder.

"Don't worry! As long as there are no rumors that reach Colonel Giroud Maguno, I won't cause any trouble. If we can save the fortress, we can all get promoted and make money. Why not do it?"

This is almost stated.

As long as Hull kept his mouth shut about his desertion and was willing to give up the credit for guarding the north gate, Schneider would not pursue the fact that Hull released the prisoners privately and reached a deal with Reinhardt.

A sneer appeared on Hull's face.

The tree of the empire is rotten to the core.

"By the way, where did you send that monster?"

"Monster? Do you mean Goliath?"

"Oh! So that monster has a name? I thought it was a wild man you found somewhere."

Hearing Schneider call Goliath a monster, Hull could no longer remain silent.

A slap knocked Schneider's hand off his shoulder.

Major Schneider was shocked: "What are you doing?!"

"Since you said that it was your good command and that it was the 1st and 3rd Battalions' credit for saving the North Gate, then please continue your efforts tomorrow. I will take Goliath and the soldiers who are willing to follow me and leave today."

"Hey! Lieutenant Hull, are you serious? If you leave, who will stop Reinhardt tomorrow? If this happens, we will definitely not be able to defend Seychelles!" Captain Lorenzo was even more surprised than Major Schneider.

"How could that be? Isn't Major Schneider a very good strategist? Aren't the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Battalions under his command very brave? Didn't they successfully repel Reinhard today? Can't they just try again tomorrow?"

"But...!"

"Captain Lorenzo, think about it from my perspective. As soon as the enemy retreated, Major Schneider rushed to hold me accountable and stabbed me in the back. Even if I defended the fortress, I would definitely be held accountable by them afterwards. If you asked me to stay, it would be like asking me to hand over my head to you. If it were you, what would you do?"

Captain Lorenzo was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Since you think my reasons are sufficient, please make way for me..."

Hull strode directly towards the fortress.
