Chapter 385
EP.385
The Archduke of Warsaw, who kissed the Archbishop and declared a war to suppress heresy, is now in a very difficult situation.
No, to be more precise, we had to play the game so hard that we had to pretend that we had won.
“The Reich Empire, you damn bastards of the world! You sell your soul to the devil. I, Archduke Stefan, will personally defeat you evil heretics and establish justice! “Faithful warriors of Gara Deus!”
At the same time, he thought to himself that if Deus had really helped him, he would have cut off Peter Yeager’s head and hung him on the military flag…
‘Damn you, the Chief of Military Staff. Well, if the castle is not captured within the next 4 days, the Allied forces will lose their momentum. Incompetent bastard of the world. Now that things are like this, shouldn’t I at least be a clown?’
The guy who appealed to faith had ungodly thoughts of throwing faith to the ground, but the soldiers who heard it were charging at them with great momentum, unaware of the true circumstances of their superiors.
“Peter Yeager, follow that damn bastard! What can’t we do? “Kill at least one more guy!”
“Our priest said that if you die while suppressing heresy, you will definitely go to heaven! Heresy heresy! “Kill all of those heretics!”
“Whether they are children, women or old people, hit their necks and crush their heads with a mace!”
The soldiers and people of the Reich Empire, who not only worshiped the devil but also wanted to live peacefully within the Reich Empire, felt like their clothes were bursting open when they heard their cries.
It was so outrageous that the priests of the Deus Church, which they had believed in up until now and who had been forcibly collecting donations every year in the name of tithing, were framing them for heresy.
Peter Jaeger did not miss this trend and gave orders.
“Aren’t the Allied Forces the world’s most murderous bastards who sold their souls to the devil? Have I ever done something so dirty and heretical that it is hard to put into words? Yet, those scum are shouting that they will accuse all children, old people, and virgins who are supposed to be protected as heretics and kill them all! If you surrender, you will die anyway. So hold on! Then reinforcements will come.”
‘… Out of the 600,000 troops, there are about 300,000 troops that can come here within 3 days. But to put it bluntly, we will fall in the castle today or tomorrow.’
It was a very hopeless situation, but Peter Jaeger was not discouraged.
‘That’s why I deliberately sent Anya and some cavalry out through the tunnel leading outside the castle a few days ago. If we just hold out today, the northern cavalry will somehow come to support us.’
The soldiers belonging to the Reich Imperial Army sympathized with the saying, ‘Whether we surrender or fight here, the only way is death.’ and decided to put up desperate resistance.
“As Marshal Peter Yeager said, the only way for us is to hold out until the end and die! “Let’s risk death, or just take them with us on our way to death!”
“You bastards are worse than damned barbarians!”
“At least one more! “Kill at least one more guy!”
Now, even children as young as 10 or 8 came forward, rolling stones the size of their own bodies and pushing them under the castle wall.
The soldiers who were hit by the stones suffered severe injuries or died, with their heads and bodies broken, but this did not last long because the children were captured by enemy soldiers who had somehow climbed onto the castle wall and were soon killed.
Beneath the castle walls, it is already common to see mothers and daughters, or mother and son, turned into corpses and turned into food for maggots and bugs.
Despite this tragedy, Peter Jaeger did not view his situation pessimistically, and the Archduke of Warsaw felt good about the fact that the situation was turning towards him despite the tragedy.
The walls in the four directions, north, south, east, west and west, are all believed to fall if they are shaken just a little more.
‘I can’t miss this opportunity now.’
He decided to make a bold decision.
“Everyone, even my SS! Climb the wall guarded by fucking Peter Yeager! “Everyone, except for the few staff members left in the command center, cling to the walls!”
“Your Highness, you are so reckless!”
The Archduke slapped the face of the person who said those words.
“If we miss this opportunity now, we are finished! “This is the end, you fucking defeatist bastard!”
Following the Archduke’s order, everyone’s attention instantly turned to the northern wall guarded by Peter Yeager, and at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Landel, who was not yet dead, managed to stand up, holding on with the last of his strength in his arms.
The bones in Randel’s left and right arms, which were almost crunched, were broken again.
The extreme pain of breaking bones, an incredible pain that was difficult to express in words, sent warning signals to his brain and nerves, but Randel tried to ignore them and took a step forward.
‘I think I’m going to die. No, death is already certain. But since the enemy is still fighting, I have to somehow save him even if I die.’
No one paid attention to him, who looked like a corpse.
Because everyone was blinded by the light emanating from the damned flag symbolizing the enemy of the Reich Empire on the castle wall and the bravery of Peter Jaeger.
Everyone, including the Archduke, didn’t even notice that someone was approaching their location.
“Our soldiers have created a stronghold on the northern wall, which was reoccupied by His Highness Peter Jaeger. Success!”
“It’s only a short distance to the west wall stairs!”
“We’ve almost cleared away all the damned dirt that was blocking the gate! “I will soon use a battering ram to knock down the door!”
When I heard that there wasn’t much left until I beheaded Peter Yeager, who had been fighting fiercely for about a month and a hellish time, and took over Bastion Castle.
The Grand Duke of Warsaw was already shedding tears of joy in silence, and everyone who remained at the Allied Command Headquarters also shed tears of emotion.
“… Bastion Castle was a truly hellish war.”
“180,000 people were slaughtered by 50,000 people. “We will not be able to show our faces as officers from now on.”
“No matter how you think about it, Peter Yeager, that bastard sold his soul to the devil. Still, Deus gave us victory…”
Regardless of whether the staff were from different countries or had political interests, they were all of one mind and were narrowing the distance between themselves.
When none of them had any idea that the corpse they thought was dead was walking towards the Archduke.
Randel walked quietly and prayed.
‘Deus, if you exist, please listen to this damned bastard’s last prayer. Please let me cut off that damn Archduke’s head.’
When my vision became increasingly blurry, my legs became weak, and I felt like I was going to collapse, I thought about my past life.
The reason why he was able to get to where he is now is that he and his family have lived a life of extreme poverty, not knowing when they will be able to eat their next meal, let alone living well.
This is why I can now eat whatever I want, live in a comfortable and warm home, and even gain the honor of being respected by others.
It was thanks to the Marshal who gave warm words of comfort to a soldier who complained about wanting to desert on Richen Hill.
‘If his lover, wife, or child are in danger, a man must go through heavy snow, dark, and dangerous roads to protect them. All the soldiers on this front, including you, are like my children. So I will risk my life to protect even one more soldier.’
That’s why I kept walking even though I felt my leg muscles breaking and my leg bones breaking with each step.
‘I don’t mind dying here, Deus. But only the enemy. ‘Only the one who gave my beloved family the hope they could not dream of when they were serfs… Please allow me to return from this hell alive.’
As he got closer, the Grand Duke of Warsaw’s foul voice could be heard clearly in his ears as it grew increasingly dark.
Relying on my blurred vision, I aimed my sword at his neck.
By then, the SS and the Archduke in Warsaw had realized that Lieutenant Colonel Randel was approaching, but no one came forward to respond.
The moment they discovered it, everyone’s bodies froze.
Blood was flowing from all over the armor to the point where I wondered how I was still alive, and my arms and legs were so damaged that I wondered how I could move them.
Also, the iron armor was crumpled as if he had been hit directly by a stone. The lieutenant colonel’s condition was so dire that everyone here wondered if they were seeing a devil.
However, Randel continued to advance step by step towards the Archduke in front of him.
‘I’m sorry Sylvia. When I returned from the war, I was planning to take Austin with me to the villa I had secretly bought. Also, when I was worried about sending my child to a good school because I don’t want to raise him as an uneducated person, I got help from the enemy and sent him to a prestigious school, but he couldn’t even attend the entrance ceremony.’
As he took one step at a time, the Archduke was so frightened that a corpse that should have already died was walking towards him and he could not even utter a sound.
His body was completely frozen and he could not move, and his knights barely came to their senses and tried to kill Randel before he could get close, but
Randel gave the last of his strength to his already broken arm and lifted the sword with difficulty.
“Aaaahhh fuck, Peter Yeager has summoned the devil from hell!!!”
At the same time as he said those words, Lieutenant Colonel Randel mustered up his last strength and swung his sword.
At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Landel was attacked with swords, spears, and maces to the point where his entire body was almost chopped to pieces, but he smiled brightly as he died.
‘Now this has become this.’
At the same time, he remembered the conversation on Lichen Hill that had changed his life.
‘I’m scared too. I’m afraid of dying too. But the soldiers under my command are like my children. So I will risk my life to protect them.’
Then he opened his mouth and muttered in a very low voice.
“… It is an honor to be able to die and repay that favor in some small way. “Please return alive to your family.”
And when he was completely out of life.
“Aaaahhh!!!”
The Archduke’s screams spread widely across the front lines.
