I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.395

When the Reich Imperial Army was defeating the Allied Forces, the Allied staff shouted together.

“Your Highness, if you continue like this, your life will be in danger! “Quickly cross the river without delay!”

“You can buy it just by crossing the Palatinate River! And you must plan for the future!”

“If even His Majesty is captured, the situation will become an irreparable catastrophe! hurry!”

Many of the staff here were serving monarchs of other countries that were not part of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, so to be honest, in normal times, it had nothing to do with whether the Grand Duke died or not.

But now things were a little different.

Although they were not directly loyal to the Archduke, they belonged to the Archduke and came to the Reich Empire along with their country’s soldiers.

I tried to win and share the profits with the Archduke, but…

‘Unless Deus sends down a meteor here, we are unlikely to win, and now we must somehow save at least one more person to minimize defeat.’

As they thought, victory had already been given up, so the only effort the staff and commanders of the Allied Forces could make was to lower the degree of defeat and reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers of their own country.

And the best means among them is to send the Archduke alive.

Captain Greenwich, the deputy commander of the Allied forces, gave strict orders to the soldier pulling the archduke’s carriage.

“Cross the Palatinate River right now. We must get His Highness the Archduke safely to Warsaw by any means possible! “If there is anyone who stands in your way, you can cut them to death!”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Hurry up! “Respectfully escort His Highness the Archduke to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.”

There was even an order from Captain Greenwich.

The Grand Duke of Warsaw is cautious, as the wound on his neck from the sword cut is already growing, and he is even mentally devastated by the shock of continued defeat.

Also, as the person responsible for leading the situation to this point, he had nothing to say, so he did not respond and quietly moved towards the carriage.

“This can’t be happening. “He obviously came with an army of over a million people, but why on earth… why on earth does that bastard, Peter Yeager, block my path so viciously?”

The Archduke was in a half-fazed state and fell into despair, and the soldiers were already completely out of the commander’s control.

“We must protect His Highness! It’s not too late, so let’s pull out our spears and swords and fight against the vicious Reich Imperial Army! “We can do it!”

“If you truly want to survive, you must fight and win against Peter Yeager, who is approaching you! “Let’s all be courageous!”

“Raise your spear! “This platoon leader will stand at your vanguard!”

The officers’ struggles to buy a little time by somehow returning the soldiers to the front line were noticeable, but the soldiers listened to it with one ear and ignored it with the other.

‘Fuck you, the Grand Duke, and if this continues, we’ll all be left behind. I’ve done everything I can, so why are you asking me to add more?’

Therefore, except for the occasional sloppy fool, the remaining soldiers voluntarily retreated, swearing at the platoon commander and company commander.

“Platoon leader, don’t be damned and just fry! How do you stop Peter Yeager?”

“How long have you been bragging to us about how cute your wife is, and now you’re just trying to track us down?”

“Sergeant Atta. “It’s true that you and I are already screwed, so what are you trying to protect so actively?”

In normal times, they were spewing out remarks that would make everyone feel like their heads were blown off for the crime of fleeing and instigating a war against the enemy, but now no one has stepped forward to stop them.

Peter Jaeger foresaw this situation and gave an order.

“Get rid of all the trash that doesn’t have the will to resist! Grand Duke Grand Duke! I will personally cut off the head of the archduke who insulted and mocked those who fought in our Bastion Castle and even branded those who died with honor as heretics! From now on, stop obsessing over those little brats!”

He avoided unnecessary killing in most battlefields, but right now, he was determined to annihilate the enemy soldiers in front of him.

‘In order to solidify the hegemony of the empire and honor those who died honorably at Bastion Castle, it would be right not to let even a single one live.’

Rather than losing the head of the most important archduke, I thought it would be much more beneficial to let some of the remaining ones live.

No, considering the morale of the enemy army, it would have been a more strategic move to send about 40,000 alive and let them go to their country to instill fear and fear about the Reich Empire.

The soldiers who guarded Bastion Castle in the vanguard that followed him sympathized with his words.

“What the enemy said is correct! “Cut off the Archduke’s head and hang it on a pole is more important than killing 100,000 of them!”

“Nothing goes your way in life! Still, wouldn’t you consider it a bit of an ‘insult’ by hanging the archduke’s cub’s head on a spear post?”

“What else is more important than the Archduke? “No!”

All of the brave men who fought with him at Bastion Castle, who could be called Peter Jaeger’s fanatics, actively sympathized with what he said.

So, he put aside his hostility toward the Allied Forces for a moment and shouted in a loud voice.

“Fuck, we have to cut off your Highness’s head now, so from now on, if you surrender, your life will be spared! “If you want to live, throw away your weapons, then kneel down and put your head down!”

When Peter Yeager repeated similar words, the Allied soldiers who wanted to survive somehow immediately put down their weapons and began to declare surrender.

So Peter Yeager and the soldiers who fought together at Bastion Castle began to break through the enemy lines without encountering any resistance.

“Marshal! “How about you step back from now on?”

At those words, I shook my head.

“Considering your dedication, there is absolutely no way for me to step down now. Rather, it looks like you are exhausted. How about switching to another unit that follows behind you?”

“Not only did they brutally kill my family, but they also accused us of selling our souls to the devil. Even though I had no obligation to participate in the war, I volunteered to come along to kill them! So how can you tell us to step back? “That’s too much!”

In a world where there was a clear dividing line based on social status, it made no sense for a soldier and an enemy to have such a friendly conversation.

However, after fighting across the line of fire for over a month in Bastion Castle, they soon became friendly and their faults disappeared.

Since the contribution I have made is so great, no matter how well I do, I think I will soon be ‘retired’ once this war, or even revenge against the Allied Forces, is over.

Should we build a house in the north, a villa in Bastion Castle, and then visit every year to eat, drink, and have fun together?

Since His Majesty has given us plenty of money and land, we should have enough money to gather the survivors from the war and feed them plenty of wine and meat at least one day a year.

Also, because of the achievements I have made, even after I retire, people will turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.

“Peter Yeager, you son of a bitch, die!”

“You die, you damn bastard!”

Saying that, I cut the head of the officer running towards me in two.

My body was tired, but I felt more comfortable swinging the sword than usual.

As I was running frantically, I suddenly saw a huge flag symbolizing the Grand Duke of Warsaw.

But it’s different.

Among the people I had just met, many of them immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered when they were told that their lives would be spared if they surrendered.

“Peter Yeager, you son of a bitch, Marshal of our Allies! die!”

“We will definitely protect His Highness’s life!”

“Destroy the Reich Empire, you bastards!”

As you get closer to the Archduke, the proportion of elite soldiers in the officer guard increases, making it increasingly difficult to move forward.

“You bastards, the Archduke’s collaborators, are no better than dogs!”

However, if you stop here even for a moment, you will not be able to kill the idiot struggling to cross the river in front of you.

I filled my sword with all my strength and quickly swung it at the people blocking my path.

My blade, which had reached its peak, cut off their necks, legs, and hands in an instant, and the mortally wounded ones died one after another, screaming and spouting blood.

As each person passed through, the Archduke’s appearance became more and more clear.

“Peter Yeager! Peter Yeager That fucking bastard is coming! Hurry! “We must escape quickly!”

Even when I heard voices convulsing with fear, I cut off the heads of the two armored officers standing in front of me.

Then, as if he was in a trance, he swung his sword and cut down those in front of him.

The soldier pulling the archduke’s carriage was whipping the horse like crazy, and the archduke continued to scream like a person in fear.

If you’re going to fall behind, you should die in a fashion like a grand duke, so why do you act so recklessly at the end of your life?

If the dead Colonel Landel saw this, wouldn’t he be about to collapse from laughter in Valhalla by now?

Looking at that scene, I thought for a moment that I should capture him alive, humiliate him in all kinds of ways, and then sell him or execute him… but I thought,

‘If I cut off his head here, I can use this momentum to destroy the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. Because then there will be great political confusion.’

And insulting him could mean losing face to His Majesty, so this is the best.

I raised my sword, regretting that I could not inflict any more insults or torture on him.

“You damn bastard, Archduke, you are so lucky.”

Then he quietly brought down his sword.
