I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.437

When Carol charged at the vanguard with a long spear, the Republic soldiers who saw it reacted in horror.

The reason was not because his reputation had spread to them, but because they were surprised by the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of imperial troops next to them.

That’s what happens when a guy called the battalion commander comes to fight at the vanguard of the battalion.

“The Reich sausages have come to stab us in the side!”

“Stop it! If you want to live, fucking stop me!”

“How can you care about your side when the enemy is attacking from in front of you!”

Of course, the soldiers were taken aback by the imperial army pushing in from two directions at the same time.

Even the commanders simply looked confused as they did not know how to deal with both the imperial army coming in front and the imperial army coming from the side.

Without missing the opportunity, the Empire’s soldiers, including Carol, were able to kill the enemy by immediately stabbing them with long spears.

“Follow me, Battalion Commander Karl!”

Karl, who was at the forefront of Laura’s right wing, was able to greatly raise the morale of the soldiers with his excellent performance, even though he was pushed aside by Laura.

And at that time, a messenger came rushing in with news that would despair Francois’ commander-in-chief, Carlos.

“The Reich Empire, the Reich Empire!”

The messenger ran as fast as possible to deliver the news.

Thanks to that, I couldn’t speak properly because I was out of breath, but just looking at his armor covered in blood and dirt…

‘I’m going to tell you some bad news.’

The Francois Republic Army headquarters, including Carlos, prepared their hearts.

“The Reich Empire annihilated the knights of our Francois Republic army!”

If you interpret annihilation literally, it may sound like everyone is dead.

The messenger who said this did not mean it that way.

‘The knights completely lost their fighting skills as soldiers and suffered enormous damage from which they could not recover.’

This is what he said. In any case, the units that had been ‘annihilated’ could no longer fight in this battle, and would have to go through a reorganization process for at least several months to recover their combat power…

The commanders cried like crazy when they heard the reality that they absolutely did not want to accept.

“Fuck, Francois’ honorable knights have been annihilated! “You’re such a piece of shit that they’re all dead!”

“This is a dream. I’m just having a nightmare.” Hey Elang. Won’t you give me a slap on the cheek? “I want to wake up from this nightmare.”

“We’re done now, it’s over…”

It was the commander’s role to calm down this mess, but Carlos was also in a state of dissatisfaction.

‘Are the knights wiped out? Our Francois Republic is defeated?’

When he heard of such a terrible incident, he grabbed the messenger by the collar and shook him.

“There is no way the knights were wiped out. The Francois Knights are said to be the strongest on the continent. You must have bad eyesight! “It has to be that way!”

The messenger was held by the collar and just shed tears.

“sorry.”

Carlos collapsed at those words and pulled out his hair.

“Peter Yeager you fucking bastard!! “Bring back our knights, our knights!”

No matter how much you cry, the already dead knights cannot come back to life.

While everyone was in great despair, another messenger came in.

“I am reporting that the right wing of the Reich infantry is attacking the flank of our infantry formation! “Our soldiers are being pushed back unilaterally!”

Afterwards, another messenger came in and reported.

“I would like to report to you, Lieutenant General Vallière, commander of the 7th Corps, who said, ‘We can no longer maintain the line, so we need support.’ Please send reinforcements urgently.”

As he continued to hear bad news from his allies, Carlos momentarily lost consciousness and fainted.

On the other hand, Laura, who commanded the right wing of the imperial army’s infantry, waved her baton and vigorously pushed back Francois’ soldiers.

“Press quickly but heavily. “Each division commander must never miss this opportunity when the enemy is being unilaterally pushed back.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“What we must show in this operation is ‘overwhelming power.’ So, unless they surrender directly, exterminate every single person.”

The reason Peter Jaeger gave this order was very simple.

Humans are beings who can stab and betray those they love or respect, but they cannot betray those they truly fear.

It was to bring true fear to the people of Francois so that they would not dare to think of betrayal when they came under the empire.

‘It’s surprising that you use both carrots and sticks at the same time.’

“What is the enemy’s situation now?”

“The knights have been wiped out and the infantry is out of control.”

Laura smiled when she heard that.

Because everything was going according to Peter Yeager’s plan.

‘Your Excellency’s plan is working as expected, so are you going to start using it now?’

“Send a messenger to your Excellency to report the situation and continue to push back against the enemy.”

Imperial army headquarters where Peter Yeager is located.

“Your Excellency Marshal! Excellency the Marshal! Captain Benner asked me to tell you that ‘the infantry of the Francois Republic has been completely destroyed and even the knights have been wiped out!’”

Everyone cheered at those words.

“Long live the Reich Empire!”

“Stepping on the slug-like Francois to death is also an auspicious event for the Empire!”

“Congratulations, Excellency the Marshal.”

What the messenger said was that victory in the war was certain, so everyone couldn’t help but be excited.

Peter Yeager also understood this, so he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and handed the messenger a bag containing money.

“You worked hard to deliver the good news. “I can use it to buy meat and alcohol tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Your Excellency.”

Then the messenger immediately got on his horse and left the main camp.

Peter Yeager cleared his throat, attracting everyone’s attention.

“The war is not over yet, so we must not relax.”

With those words, the staff came to their senses and focused.

“Yes sir!”

“And now I will lead the division under my direct command and go to war.”

Division directly under Peter Yeager.

It is a legendary unit that everyone, whether an officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier, must go through at least once if they want to get ahead, and you cannot enter it without the appropriate skills.

Everyone was nervous when they heard that a combat-oriented division would be deployed that would even put aside the Knights of the Guard, which only the most elite officers of the Reich Empire could enter.

“Your Excellency, isn’t the tide of war completely tilted towards our allies? So, Your Excellency, there is no need for you to step forward…”

“It is true that if we continue like this, it is certain that we will win. But my goal is not just to win. “My goal is to make the Francois urinate with fear at the sight of our imperial army’s standard.”

There was no need to explain further what followed.

This is because any staff member of the Reich Empire, particularly a talented person capable of working with the Generalissimo, would be able to understand what the Generalissimo’s intentions are just by hearing this.

“Or did you even think that I would die from the arrows that Francois shot?”

At those words, the subordinate shook his head.

“Of course, His Excellency the Marshal, there is no way he would die fighting those snails Francois. However, according to the operational doctrine…”

It is customary for the commander-in-chief of an ordinary army to stop it when it is said that he will personally stand at the vanguard, but General Jaeger.

He is a general who can easily take on dozens of enemies alone.

This kind of ridiculous situation actually unfolds.

“As of now, my command will be held by Senior General Wilhelm von Keitel.”

With those words, Peter Yeager went out to lead the unit holding a flag with the unit mark symbolizing the Bastion Bastion division of his direct division.

The soldiers who saw Peter Yeager passing by all whispered.

“Look at the armor your Excellency is wearing. “What the fuck is that?”

“I heard it was coated with platinum.”

“Platinum armor and a purple cape… It really stands out.”

There was only one reason why Peter Yeager wore such striking armor.

‘Shows overwhelming power to the enemy.’

Jaeger, standing in front of his immediate division, pulled his sword from its sheath and spoke.

“The 7th Division of the Imperial Army, under my direct command, commonly known as the Bastion Division, is a unit that symbolizes the might of the Empire. “Isn’t that right?”

Everyone answered in unison.

“Yes that’s right!”

Jaeger tightened his grip on both hands holding the sword.

“So what are you guys going to do? Yes. It inflicts extreme fear of death on the enemy in front of you through the overwhelming difference in skill. Slaughter the enemy. “Everyone is killed except those who kneel and surrender.”

Francois’ soldiers, who were listening to Peter Jaeger’s declaration that he would kill the enemy, trembled in fear of death.

“Peter Peter Jaeger that fucking bastard is coming to kill us!”

“It may be okay for other bastards, but not for that bastard!”

“Platoon leader, platoon leader! uh? “The platoon leader ran away?”

Peter Yeager, a fearsome being who caused some lower-ranking officers to abandon their units and charge in the opposite direction to the enemy.

He swung his sword and proceeded to cut down the enemy in front of him.

A powerful swordsman makes those around him tremble. However, the title given to him above that was that of Generalissimo of the Imperial Army.

Fear quickly spread among Francois’ soldiers like wildfire.

“Run the fuck away!”

In addition, the 7th Division that followed behind also possessed powerful forces, so its momentum and power were truly terrifying.

“This is an order to kill all of Francois’ soldiers! “Kill every single one of them!”
