The actual combat assessment method of the annual examination was not possible to leak out in advance, but after all these years, there were just a few of them, so every student was prepared in advance. Teachers, family, and friends behind them also reminded them too!

Sebastian naturally didn't know either, but after seeing several assessment methods that had appeared, he gave all the tips to Elizabeth, therefore, for any possible kind of assessment, Elizabeth had made enough arrangements.

In actual combat assessment, there were mainly two situations. One was offense; the civilization races of each planet would go to the planet through the planet passage where the actual combat assessment was located, and they would attack and fight, while the other one was defense.

As compared to the offense, for example, the "Supernatural Invasion" this time, the location of the defense was the creator planet, so, it was easy to destroy the environment and ecology, which would greatly increase the difficulty of the assessment. It was a test of the mentality of each student.

Before the "Supernatural Invasion", Elizabeth and everyone in the Astra Militarum were ready. At this time, in the Royal Tombs Mountains, there were more than 100,000 Guardsmen.

Inside this army of 100,000, there were 50,000 regular Guardsmen while the other 50,000 were reserved in case of emergency ahead, so these 50,000 reserves would make up for any losses.

In addition to the large army, there was the logistics section. Tens of thousands of people were in the logistics and they were responsible for all aspects of the military including clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation.

After learning about the examination method, Sebastian informed Elizabeth. Elizabeth put on her armor and held the longsword left by Kai in her hand and then she climbed onto the city wall. She did not have the power of words to give motivation like Kai, but she could also lead them by giving examples.

Behind her, there were generals and strategists, including Rommel, Masson, Simon, Cross, Ewart, Fleming, and others. They all climbed the wall also.

Everyone knew the importance of today's battle, they were going to fight on behalf of their Gods.

Around them, the mass was overwhelming, and all of them were Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum. Each one had a brand-new uniform on their bodies, their formation was neat and even and their eyes were solemn and determined. The troops were passionate, but they remained sensible.

The whole army was not dispatched directly as soon as they came up, instead, 10,000 people were sent first. 50,000 people were divided into five groups, if the first group was tired or injured, the second group would fill in to make up the difference.

Over the past few years, one of the most important preparations made by the Astra Militarum was this tall city wall.

At this time, wall-building materials had long been improved by scientists, so it was not hard to build a tall city wall. This was also an order from Elizabeth for a possible defensive battle, today, it came in handy.

This city wall was located in front of the Royal Tombs Mountains, not far from the planet's passage and it was up to 30 meters high. That's right, 30 meters. It was not just high, whether it was width, thickness, or length, it was extremely great.

This was only on Sebastian's planet that it was possible to build such a wall. In addition, there were millions of people in the Imperium, but there were not enough people on other planets, so they couldn't build it quickly. At most, a small earthen wall was built with stones and clay.

When the people who were paying attention to Sebastian saw such a large and thick city wall through the projection, their eyes were wide open and they almost cursed. From the Planet Passage, a large group of supernatural species would come out.

"The battle has begun, General Cross, you will command," Elizabeth ordered in a deep voice.

Professional matters were left to professionals.

Cross nodded solemnly, swept a glance at the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum around the city walls, and shouted, "Fire according to the original plan, don't let these creatures step within 300 meters."

With the current technology of the Astra Militarum, the latest models of semi-automatic rifles were already in use, there were even a few automatic rifles. The effective range was also greatly improved, from the original 400 meters increased to 600 meters, and that was just the regular rifle.

Thanks to the presence of Vibranium and Starfall Iron, the quality of the gun was much better than on Earth in Sebastian's previous life.

At this time, Sebastian and others saw the true face of this first wave of invaders. According to the exam regulations for all candidates, the first wave of invaders faced by all candidates was the same.

After a while, the passage's light flashed. Each one resembled a person but a creature with strange movements walked in. Yes, it was walking in. Their number was overwhelming, just looking at them, there were at least a thousand of them.

These Supernaturals were not fast, but their movement was a little weird. The clothes on their body were torn and tattered, their faces were pale, and their tongues were sticking out. Their eyes were hollow and lifeless, and their hair was all messed up. The more exaggerated thing was that some of the skin on the face was rotten and they were twisting in strange gestures.

Step by step, they leaned toward the side of the Astra Militarum.

"This... what is this?" All the Guardsmen were a little confused.

In the past years, they have experienced many planetary expeditions and they also saw all kinds of supernatural species. However, this was the first time they had met such a strange thing. They looked like human but then again, they were not.

On the other hand, Sebastian slightly raised his eyebrows. He probably guessed what creatures this was.

[ ===== ]

"Zombies?!"

"It's a zombie."

"This year, the first wave used zombies? This year's candidates have something to cry about."

"Zombies are an extremely powerful type of low-level civilization, especially when it comes to dealing with these planets that have just awakened for three months, it's not going to be easy."

"Who is in charge of the exam questions this year? To be so 'capable' that he took out such a weapon of mass destruction at the first wave."

After seeing the supernatural species in the first wave, each of the major powers and planet masters watching the battle outside couldn't help but be surprised, some people even started cursing.

Merlin, Steiner, and others as school leaders and teachers didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"The difficulty of this first level has increased more than a little bit compared to previous years." Steiner shook his head and said somewhat helplessly, "This year's genius is the most numerous session, but there is no need to make it so difficult."

"These zombies, if it was in the previous years..." Nelissen also echoed: "It would be placed in the second wave. But this year, it came out in the first wave. For this first wave, I'm afraid that a large number of candidates will be eliminated."

"Zombies are easy to deal with individually, but in a group..." Even Merlin nodded and said, "It depends on the ability of each candidate. Luckily, all candidates are facing the same invaders, so it's fair."

[ ===== ]

"It's a zombie." After Sebastian observed these "people" with strange movements, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He didn't even give any hints to Elizabeth and just giving a name was not of much use either. Besides, the Astra Militarum had a large supernatural research team and there was no such thing as a free meal, they had their ability to improve.

"No matter what these things are, stay according to the original plan," Cross shouted.

All of the Guardsmen around were ready to go and the gun in their hand aimed at the zombie army not far away.

The dark mass of zombies was continuously passing through the passage of the planet. They were walking for a long time and there was still no end in sight. In just three minutes, more than a thousand people had come in. Their speed was not fast as they were walking forward strangely.

Suddenly, when they were about a thousand meters away from the Astra Militarum, these zombies seemed to smell the smell of humans and their noses twitched a little. Followed by, their eyes widened one by one. Then they screamed, opened their mouth to show their teeth, and stretched their fingers. They rushed toward the city wall and their speed and agility went up quite a lot.

Looking at these crazy zombies above the city walls, Cross and Allard, the general of the First Group of the Astra Militarum, did not panic. They looked very calm.

When the horde of zombies came close to about 600 meters from the walls, he ordered loudly: "Fire."

Immediately, 10,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum pulled the trigger of all the rifles in their hands. The bullets made of Star Vibranium Alloy rapidly launched out, straight into the running horde of zombies.

Since Sebastian used the 10x Multiplier Card, the amount of Vibranium on Terra had reached over 100 tons. There were even more reserves of Starfall Iron. These were two metals with extraordinary properties. There was gain when creating alloys, and there was almost nothing to lose. It was close to 100 percent utilization.

Therefore, Elizabeth ordered the creation of a large number of alloy bullets in the past few years and let all the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum use alloy bullets as their main ammunition, so ordinary bullets were eliminated and put into reserve for use in emergencies.

It was not just the bullets, even the rifles in the hands of all the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum were all made of Star Vibration Alloy, their range was longer and the accuracy of shooting was also higher. And their reliability was further increased, so the chance of experiencing jamming and malfunction was reduced.

BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG-!

Countless bullets flew out as 10,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum kept firing. With thousands of bullets, a rain of bullets rained down from the air and rushed toward the horde of zombies, which was like a mass of locusts. It was covering these zombies.

PUFF-!, PUFF-!, PUFF-!

Zombies running at the front were fast but they were also about the same as ordinary people, so they couldn't dodge so many bullets at all. By the looks of it, it seemed that they didn't realize the power of this weapon and didn't dodge it. Even if they did, they wouldn't have the intelligence capacity to do so. Immediately, they were hit by dozens of bullets at the same time.

Their bodies were shaking, however, something that surprised the groups happened. Zombies who were hit by bullets were back on their feet again, after trembling in place for a few seconds.
