I, who was eager to retire, became an Imperial General.

Chapter 45 The advantage is mine
"You've studied magic spells, haven't you?"

Looking at Siegfried in front of her, Wendy suddenly asked this question for no apparent reason.

Before Siegfried could even speak, she frowned and denied her own words:
“No, the magical energy in your body is very strange. It is different from the spells of the Imperial Magic Academy, different from the unique inherited spells of magical families, and it does not seem to be the magical technology of the Allied Forces.”

"Furthermore, you haven't even mastered the most basic technique of gathering magic power, so rather than saying you've mastered a magic formula, it's more accurate to say you've mastered a special solidified magic formula circuit?"

Having reached this conclusion, Wendy looked at the astonished Siegfried with curiosity and interest.

He was an outstanding magic soldier who graduated from the 46th class of the Third Magic Academy of the Empire with first-class grades in both the reconnaissance and demolition departments.

Wendy's theoretical grades were not bad either.

Therefore, after carefully sensing the state of Siegfried's magical energy using her magic, she realized that Siegfried was special.

The opponent's state is unlike that of Imperial Magic Soldiers, who use specially modified bodies as a vessel and release magic by drawing spell formulas.

It is also different from the inheritance system that relies on the bloodline's adaptability to magic and releases unique magic through unique spells.

It also contradicts the Allied magic technology that uses magic stones as the core, solidifies magic circuits on equipment, and releases magic through external objects.

Analyzing this situation according to the theories of magic, the other party seems more like the original creator of unique magic.
But hasn't this situation long since become a legend because of the magical mutation that occurred a thousand years ago, which no longer adapts to the human body?
How did this strange creature manage to be replicated in this era?
Could it be that the other party's physical structure is different from that of ordinary people, so that by consuming pure magic water or eating raw magic stones, they were able to avoid being devoured into mincemeat by the mutated magic power after being eroded by it?

Instead, due to the erosion of organs or cells by magic, they became diseased, and with a lucky probability of less than one in ten million, the blood and magic in their bodies achieved a symbiotic state that was different from that of ancient magicians.
This kind of lucky but unlucky person who only exists in theory actually met him in real life?

Indeed, I, Wendy, am the luckiest person in the world!
Wendy looked at Siegfried in front of her with almost astonishment. At this moment, she no longer doubted that he was an Allied spy.

Because unless the Allied high command is a fool, the other side will never allow such an extremely rare mutant to come to the front line.

Becoming a heavily guarded experimental subject or a ruthless breeding machine is the only fate for these mutated individuals.

After all, unlike the Empire, which possesses magical soldiers that are superior to symbiotic individuals, the Allied Forces rely on a large amount of magical technology and magical families with only a very small number of elite individuals due to bloodline degeneration, which are able to fight against the Empire.

They wouldn't miss this opportunity to cultivate a new legion of mutated mages.

"!"

Across from him, Siegfried felt a sudden, inexplicable chill and looked around with some suspicion.

However, he still couldn't find the source of this chill, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Although it's a special case, I'll report to Warrant Officer John later."

After a moment's thought, Wendy decided that taking care of the Allied soldiers the other party mentioned was more important than reporting this special individual.

After all, for an empire with magical soldiers, having one more or one less special individual like Siegfried makes no difference.

As long as we don't leave the other side to the Allies, it's fine.

In addition, she also wanted to see what kind of unique spell this unlucky yet lucky guy in front of her had acquired after surviving the erosion of the mutated magic.

Thinking of this, Wendy became interested and immediately called Siegfried and his group to follow her to the tent area of ​​Squad 14.

After selecting nine relatively strong mage soldiers from the squad and assigning the rest to guard the camp, Wendy nodded to Siegfried and said:

"Alright, hurry up and lead the way."

"Sir, it's not that I'm being nosy, but we really don't have enough people."

Looking at the other nine magic soldiers in front of him, who were emanating almost the same aura, Siegfried felt a little scared.

But considering the number of Allied troops, he couldn't help but remind the somewhat overconfident Imperial female soldier:

"Sir, the enemy has quite a few men, at least 300 or more, and they are all well-trained, not like ordinary soldiers. Although I have great faith in the abilities of you Imperial Commanders, I think it might be safer if we take more men to attack..."

An enemy force of over 300 men? Or elite troops?
Wouldn't that be even better!

At first, I was worried about how to share the credit with the other participants. Now the problem is solved, isn't it?
Hearing this answer, it was as if he could already see a multitude of war achievements beckoning to him.

Wendy's eyes instantly lit up with excitement and fervor. She had no time to listen to Siegfried's nonsense and impatiently urged him on:

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way. If we miss the opportunity, can you take responsibility for that? Lead the way now, don't make me say it twice!"

"Well... okay, sir, I understand."

Seeing Wendy's eager expression and hearing the determination in her eyes, Siegfried knew he couldn't dissuade her. He could only nod helplessly and silently lead Wendy and her group towards the Horseshoe Mountain valley where the Allied forces were hiding. But glancing at the ten Imperial soldiers behind him, chatting and laughing as if on a spring outing, Siegfried couldn't help but sigh, though he said nothing.

Although he didn't know what gave this imperial female soldier such audacious courage,

But in Siegfried's view, since the other party could make him, who had mastered the power of the Wild Hunt, feel a sense of crisis, then he must have some real skills, and should not be killed by the Allied forces in one move.

If these ten Imperial soldiers who have mastered the power can coordinate well and discuss the strategy for the sneak attack in advance, then when they launch the sneak attack, with the help of his Wild Hunt power and the covering fire of Prida and the others, then they will not be without a chance to annihilate this Allied force.

However, upon reaching a hillside on the outskirts of the valley, before Siegfried could even discuss countermeasures with Wendy, a young male soldier from Squad 14 suddenly flew out of the ranks and soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed. After lingering for a while, he quickly returned to the ground.

But the expression on his face now became unusually excited:

"Reconnaissance complete. The enemy force numbers 431, including one officer with the rank of major. No magical artifacts were found. Also, Vice Captain, I noticed that the enemy's attire belongs to the Allied Fifth Legion."

"The situation is indeed as the captain predicted; these enemy troops are indeed one of the main forces of the Fifth Army Corps!"

"To deduce specific intelligence from such limited information, and with such absolute accuracy, Captain John's strategy of anticipating the enemy's moves is simply divine!"

The young soldier's tone was full of amazement.

Nonsense, Sergeant Ben has already made up his mind about Captain John's greatness. Why would I need an idiot like you to remind the wise Sergeant Ben?
I am Wendy Brown, Captain John's number one follower. Do you even realize the significance of that title, you idiot?
Wendy first proudly raised her little head, then, as if she had thought of something, her gaze instantly turned sharp:

"So, Charlie Mambo, you actually questioned the brilliant and mighty Captain John before? You're a complete bastard!"

"Your Maslowian philosophy isn't pure at all! I'm punishing you by making you recite Maslow's quotes from memory one hundred times and hand them in to me by midnight tonight. I'm going to check them personally, and if you miss even one word, you can expect to be washing the entire squad's stinky socks for a month!"

"Yes, Vice Captain Wendy! Mission accomplished!"

Upon hearing this, the team member named Charlie's face immediately turned bitter, but seeing that the other team members were looking at him with disdain, as if they despised him, he then...

Charlie, realizing that his understanding was indeed flawed, was instantly replaced by shame by his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, she secretly resolved that she must study Maslow's philosophy well this time, improve her understanding, and become a staunch practitioner of Maslow's principles like Vice Captain Wendy.

"Uh, sir, I mean, shouldn't we be discussing the attack plan now?"

Although he didn't understand what the Maslowian principle was that the Imperial soldiers were discussing, Siegfried felt that the time was about right and decided to discuss the upcoming sneak attack plan with these Imperial soldiers.

Before he could even voice his thoughts, Wendy across from him asked in confusion:

"A plan? Although the other side has 431 people, they are a bunch of weaklings who don't even have magical tools. Is it even worth discussing an attack plan?"

"what?"

Siegfried was stunned, and at the same time, a bad premonition arose in his heart:

"Sir, you don't mean to..."

"That's right, 10 to 431, the advantage is on my side. You can't be so stupid as to not see such an obvious situation, can you?"

Wendy stared speechlessly at Siegfried, who was completely dumbfounded.

They wanted to criticize the other party for lacking common sense and overestimating the combat power of the allied forces without magical tools.

However, considering that although the other party had been fortunate enough to obtain some power, he was essentially just an ignorant commoner of the kingdom who didn't understand what the words "Imperial Magic Soldier" actually meant, she didn't bother to continue arguing with him.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the other members of Squad 14 beside him, who also looked excited.

Seeing the team members' eager expressions, as if they couldn't wait to fly up and give the Allied dogs in the valley a big surprise.

Wendy's face immediately broke into the same sinister grin, and without another word, under the expectant gazes of the entire Squad 14, she waved her hand and gave the order:

"Squad 14 members present, listen up! Immediately enter Level 1 combat status and activate your explosive magic spells. The objective of this mission is to annihilate the enemy soldiers in Horseshoe Mountain Valley and capture the enemy major alive!"

"In the name of the Empire, soldiers, let those foolish Allied troops ahead witness true hell!"

"Crush them!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"
