I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.408

When Peter Yeager climbed the castle wall, everyone’s attention was focused on it.

Recently, he had become accustomed to fighting in the vanguard, including Bastion, and stood on the battlefield holding his sword as if it was no big deal.

Both the Reich Imperial Army and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw’s army were shocked that the Marshal of a country was on the front lines.

The imperial soldiers cheered with joy and hope.

“Marshal Jaeger himself stood at the forefront! We won! “We already won!”

“Don’t let your guard down yet! The war does not end just because the Marshal is at the forefront. “Be more nervous!”

“Fight at the risk of your life in order not to fall behind the enemy!”

On the other hand, the morale of the Grand Duchy’s army, which was already very low, broke through the ground and fell underground.

“…Why is Peter Peter Yeager over there?”

“That damn bastard was hell-bent on killing us. If you don’t kill us, are you going to kill us? “Why all the fuss!”

“Bloodthirsty devil, dirty slave of Satan.”

Amid completely conflicting reactions, Peter Yeager pulled out his sword without saying anything.

My nerves reacted sharply to the sound of sharp metal scraping.

“……Whether you block my way or not, it’s up to you. “I order the entire army to annihilate the dirty and ugly Warsaw bastards on this castle.”

An extremely dry order with no words or actions to boost the morale of the allies.

It was an instruction that violated the formula that states that when standing in the vanguard as an officer, you must boost the morale of the soldiers following you.

Peter Yeager had no need for such pretentious words right now.

This is because every move he made during this war proved his sincerity and ability as a commander of the highest rank, and everyone, both officers and soldiers, sincerely believed in and followed him.

“Long live the Reich Empire! “Exterminate every single one left!”

“Deus Bolt! God willing! “God’s will be done!”

“Let’s go in and build Bastion!”

Marshal Jaeger felt everyone’s reactions with all the nerves in his body aroused by the explosion of adrenaline.

Feeling a thrill from their cheers and support, which was not unreasonable even if they were almost blind, I held a sword in both hands and dug into the enemy army.

“It’s coming!”

The Warsaw soldiers took up arms and tried to keep Peter Jaeger in check in order to somehow kill him.

However, contrary to what I expected, I felt my stomach tremble and my legs lose strength.

When they saw Peter Yeager, they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming force coming from him, and they felt fear and intimidation, as if they were dealing with a huge bear that they did not dare to attack.

“Uh uhh…”

“Is that a person? “Are you a person?”

“Surely what you see in front of you is a person? “Why is my body trembling of its own accord…”

While the Warsaw soldiers were terrified, Peter Jaeger once again tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

He blew off the heads of the three soldiers who were standing there in a daze with one blow.

It was a feat of swordplay that only a master of the sword who had been fighting in war for quite a few decades could perform.

Everyone was astonished by the sight unfolding before their eyes for the first time.

After a while, the imperial soldiers all cheered at the incredible swordsmanship shown by Jaeger.

“Long live the Marshal! Long live the Reich Reich!”

“Let’s kill all the evil people in Warsaw! “The enemy stands before us!”

“Run so as not to fall behind! “Don’t show your enemies shame!”

The morale of the Imperial soldiers at Polsky Castle was sky-high, and the Allied soldiers could not keep their mouths open.

‘What on earth is this bastard named Peter Yeager doing that makes him fight so well?’

To overcome this situation, several young officers in Warsaw, renowned for their skill with the sword, stepped forward holding two-handed swords like Jaegers.

“Captain Winter von Smirnoff, successor to the Count Smirnoff family of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, will stop your atrocities! “Die Peter Yeager!”

“Lieutenant Andrei von Winterheim. This is the name of the person who beheaded you!”

“Accept the wisdom handed down from the Alexiev family!”

When names are mentioned like that, the unspoken rule is that they usually come out one at a time.

However, the value of the name Peter Jaeger was already higher than that of the monarchs of most countries on the Europa continent.

His martial arts skills were considered a walking disaster among those who knew a little about swords, so several people attacked him at once, thinking that it was okay to be cowardly and abandon the rules that apply at the human level.

Seeing the Warsaw officers bravely stepping forward, the Warsaw soldiers looked ahead with attention, with the vain hope that even Peter Jaeger would not be able to defeat the young officers who used swords in droves.

“Cut up the fucking Jaeger bastard!”

“If we just kill that guy, the Grand Duchy can survive!”

“Deus, protect us!”

All of the Warsaw soldiers sincerely prayed that Peter Jaeger would die by the hands of one of them.

Even in such a situation, the soldiers of the Bastion Division were not worried about anyone and did not even raise their hands to help.

They just look with bright eyes in anticipation of what kind of performance the commander they respect and follow will perform.

It was a situation where anyone would say that the subordinates were crazy because the commander was under heavy attack.

Marshal Jaeger laughed as he watched the swords of the young officers who were proud of their skills charging towards him.

“This old man killed Khan when he was your age, and his sword skills are nowhere near that level! Are you really saying that there is no one in Warsaw who knows how to hold a sword properly?”

After making such a threat, Peter Yeager lowered his stance and easily avoided all of their strikes.

Then, with the sword in his hand, he cut and stabbed again and again the vital points between the armpits and the groin of the necks of the men running in front of him.

It was only about 10 seconds of fast movement that was difficult for the eye to follow.

The four officers who ran towards him excitedly turned into cold corpses in an instant.

“… It’s pathetic. As I used my sword with such poor skill, the head of your Grand Duke of Warsaw was cut off by my sword. “How is it that there is no one who is worthy of comparison with Director Landel?”

Then, Jaeger let go of all human emotions, such as anger, excitement, and guilt, and moved forward as if he were a weapon for murder.

While cutting down the soldiers in front of me.

The Warsaw soldiers and officers were frightened and afraid at that sight.

“It’s a monster monster! “That’s not a person!”

“People are being killed… ㄹ…”

“Send reinforcements, reinforcements! “There’s no way I can beat that by any means!”

The walls of the castle, which had become a battlefield, were full of the blood shed by Warsaw soldiers and Imperial soldiers, and the urine shed by frightened weaklings who had not yet been hit by the sword.

Peter Yeager muttered on the bloody battlefield.

“One by one… we kill every single one of them. “For the well-being of the Reich Empire.”

As revenge for the horrors he experienced at Bastion Castle, he will probably retire once this war is over, and he hopes that the stability of the empire will continue even after that.

Determined to seek revenge and lay the foundation for the future, he became the Black Reaper who rules the war.

Every time the sword he swung flashed silver in the sunlight, the fearful spirit of the enemy was called to Deus.

On the other hand, Senior General Karl von Dönitz, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force who was in command while watching the scene, gaped.

“… Is that something a person can do?”

Laura, who played the role of his deputy, answered.

“Isn’t this what the enemy is doing?”

“… Your husband is so great that your eyes are so high.”

“In training at the General Staff College, you study the strategies implemented by Marshal Yeager as a reference, but don’t they tell you not to try to imitate his way of fighting? “The Marshal’s fighting ability is beyond comprehension.”

Senior Captain Doenitz nodded at those words.

“… A person like that says he will retire after this war is over… It is truly a big loss for the empire.”

“It must have been a decision made with Your Majesty in mind.”

Peter Yeager’s position is already absolute in the military.

If anything, the Chief of Staff would say that if Peter Yeager pulls out his sword and attempts a rebellion, there is a greater than 80% chance that the coup will succeed and the royal family will be replaced.

“And you and Lieutenant General Kergit are also retiring? I’m so jealous. My son is your age, and he’s just taking the colonel promotion review. You’re not a lieutenant general, but after the ceremony, you’ll be a captain. “I can’t wait to retire with honor and a captaincy.”

“Actually, I want to do more military service.”

Laura sincerely wants to stay in the military.

‘I’d like to show my father how well I’m doing…’

Donitz lowered the baton.

“I want you to mobilize three divisions from Lieutenant General Laura’s 1st Army Group to support Marshal Jaeger’s rear. Even if the Bastion Division can withstand it, it’s too dangerous if the time goes on.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Laura immediately took up her sword and mobilized three divisions to support Peter Yeager.

Dönitz looked at that and muttered.

“…… It is said that a flower is only beautiful if you know when it falls. I can’t believe someone like Marshal Jaeger decided to retire at the age of only 40. “Those words applied directly to the enemy.”

And he immediately gave the following command:

“Mobilize the siege weapon wizard and launch an indiscriminate attack inside the castle walls. According to Marshal Jaeger’s orders, we will kill everyone, leaving no civilians or soldiers behind.”
