Chapter 111 Captain Spent arrives on the battlefield!

Cassius looked up sharply in the direction from which the sound came.

A dense mass of figures, like a tidal wave, was rushing towards the Holy Kingdom's army from the flank!

Their uniforms were the standard Imperial uniforms, and the leader was Captain Spent!

"It's reinforcements! It's Captain Spent!" Hitis practically shouted, her voice trembling with excitement.

At that moment, all the Imperial soldiers who were still fighting were stunned.

They stared blankly at the surging tide and Captain Spent, who was leading it, their eyes, which had been on the verge of being extinguished, suddenly ignited.

"Reinforcements have arrived!!" Cassius's blood suddenly boiled, and he roared, sword raised: "All soldiers, follow me and charge forward to join Captain Spent's troops!!"

"kill-!!!"

A deafening battle cry suddenly erupted, and the exhausted soldiers seemed to be injected with a powerful stimulant. They straightened their backs and launched a frenzied counterattack against the Holy Kingdom's army!

Captain Spent led the charge, his longsword gleaming coldly in the smoke.

Behind him, five hundred fresh troops descended like tigers from the mountain, instantly tearing open the flank of the Holy Kingdom's army!

The Holy Kingdom's army, which had initially held a numerical advantage, was caught off guard and its formation quickly collapsed under the attack from both sides.

The imperial army's offensive was unstoppable and devastating.

Some of the Holy Kingdom's soldiers turned and fled, some hesitated, unsure which direction to defend, and some were overwhelmed by the Imperial soldiers' charge before they could even react.

The balance of power on the battlefield was completely reversed in just a few minutes.

Hitis put down her rifle and looked at the defeated Holy Kingdom soldiers, her chest heaving violently.

Her gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield and landed on the figure in the distance who was locked in fierce combat with a captain from the Holy Kingdom.

His eyes were full of worry for Zod.

Captain Spinner cleaved through the Holy Kingdom soldiers blocking his way with his sword, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic battlefield and landing on the figure locked in fierce combat in the distance.

Zod is still fighting.

The young man was covered in blood, yet he still stood tall, confronting the towering captain of the Holy Kingdom.

Captain Spinner did not stop walking.

-

"Cassius, Hitis!" he shouted without turning his head, "This is your responsibility. Completely crush the remaining Holy Kingdom army!"

"Yes!" Cassius and Hitis responded in unison.

Before he finished speaking, Spinter had already charged out with his sword drawn.

He traversed the battlefield strewn with corpses, dodging the scattered enemy soldiers still locked in combat, moving with the speed of the wind.

A soldier from the Holy Kingdom tried to stop him, but he dodged to the side and slashed the man's neck with his sword. The man fell to the ground before he could even scream.

Another person lunged at him from the side. Without turning his head, he kicked the man in the chest and used the recoil to accelerate forward.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

He finally saw the Holy Kingdom captain's face clearly: Captain "Explosive Fist" Axel.

He had seen the Holy Kingdom captain named Axel in the Empire's intelligence files. He was a Level 2 "Hakuzan" and was known for his iron fists that could cause explosions. His nickname was "Exploding Fist" Axel.

Generally speaking, most officers pay more attention to information about officers of similar rank. They are not interested in officers of lower rank, and they may not be able to access information about officers of higher rank.

This person was not from the division that belonged to the "Goldberg-Saarlom" battlefield. He was probably temporarily transferred from other battlefields on the western front of the Empire as reinforcements.

Zod stood before the monster, refusing to budge an inch.

Spinter's heart clenched suddenly.

He knew all too well what a Level Two 'Hercules' meant.

At this time, Zod had only recently mastered the abilities of a Level 1 "Kakuja," and in theory, he should not be a match for a Level 2 "Kakuja."

"Unleashing Potential" brings not only an increase in speed and strength, but also comprehensive control over muscles, nerves, and the body.

The gap between a Level 2 "Kakuja" and a Level 1 "Kakuja" is like an insurmountable chasm, almost an overwhelming one.

Logically speaking, Zod should not have been able to withstand a full round of attacks from Captain Axel.

But what he saw before him was hard to understand.

Zod stood there straight, covered in blood, his uniform torn in many places, and his body covered in wounds.

But he still stood straight.

He stood there, his eyes still fixed on his opponent, his sword still firmly in his hand, showing no sign of backing down.

What shocked Spente even more was that Axel was also injured.

The sword wound that ran across his chest was clearly visible, and blood had stained half of his military uniform.

Although it looks like just a superficial wound, it is indeed a mark left by Zod.

How could a newly promoted second lieutenant injure a well-known second-level "Hakuja"?

Spinter's breath hitched slightly.

He gazed at the blood-soaked yet upright figure, and a surge of indescribable emotions welled up within him—a mixture of shock, relief, and a hint of pride.

That young man, who was still quite naive before the war, has now been tempered and tempered into a more composed and resilient person amidst the gunfire and smoke.

"Zod—"

He silently repeated the name in his mind, then pushed off with his feet again, sprinting towards the battle zone: "Hold on tight—"

The moment Spinter led his reinforcements into the battlefield like a tidal wave, Zod and Axel glanced sideways in that direction at the same time.

Zod glanced at the dark mass of figures rushing towards them and recognized Captain Spent as the leader. He felt a slight sense of relief; the reinforcements had finally arrived.

Wait a minute—reinforcements? How could there possibly be reinforcements?

In Zod's mind, Colonel Xavier should have already decided to fight the Holy Kingdom to the death.

How could they possibly send Captain Spinner to detach troops to support Zod?

Or is it that Colonel Xavier is already planning to run away like Zod?

His mind was filled with many questions, but he didn't have time to think about them too much; he had to focus on the battle at hand.

Although Zod has just mastered the "Potential Unleashed," he is still very unfamiliar with it, and the danger has not been eliminated.

This captain from the Holy Kingdom is also a Level 2 'Hercules', and he can also 'Unleash Potential', and he is more skilled at it than him.

Zod instantly looked away, locking his gaze back onto his opponent.

Captain Axel also only glanced at it.

In that single glance, he discerned the size of the reinforcements: at least four hundred men, a dense, dark mass, tearing through his lines from the flank.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly suppressed his shock, his face remaining cold and calm.

No matter how many reinforcements the empire sends, his self-proclaimed identity will not change.

To annihilate all the imperial army on this battlefield.

But the situation has changed dramatically.

The arrival of reinforcements means he will soon face a situation where he is outnumbered.

The imperial commander who was rushing towards this side, once he arrived at his battlefield.

Axel will inevitably face a disadvantageous situation of one against many.

He was still unaware of the strength of the Imperial reinforcements commander.

If Axel wants to win, he must completely eliminate this threatening seed, Zod, before the reinforcement commander arrives.

Time is tight.

But—there should still be enough time.

Axel took a deep breath, and the aura emanating from him suddenly changed, revealing his killing intent almost without reservation. His cold eyes stared in Zod's direction, and the black ring on his knuckles faintly exuded a dangerous aura.

"Unleash your potential!"

Axel's voice was deep and muffled like thunder. The moment it exploded in the air, his aura suddenly soared to a terrifying level.

The killing intent in those eyes was almost tangible, locking onto Zod.

O
