Chapter 226
226 – Siege of the royal capital of Oslo (3)
A week later, Oslo Castle.
King Christian von Vasa of the Kingdom of Stockholm cannot hide his nervousness.
Because of this, he was unable to maintain his integrity as a king and kept biting his nails.
So, my fingernails, which were neat and tidy before the Reich army invaded, suddenly became a mess.
I was pretending to be fine, as I was somehow holding on to the string of reason that told me to remain bold and calm in front of the kingdom’s ministers and generals.
“Your Majesty, please remain calm. You must remain calm. Anyway, that damned Peter Yeager has no intention or strength to climb over our walls! “Don’t you know?”
“I know that well. “I know it well… But the opponent is that Jaeger guy, isn’t he?”
“Still, you must remain calm. “If your Majesty is shaken, won’t the soldiers and officers in the castle also shake?”
“Minister of Military Affairs Oxenburg, you are right. Yes, no matter how damned Jaeger he is, he wouldn’t think of crossing this castle with just 80,000 people.”
At the same time as he said that, Christian somehow managed to catch his breath.
After that, I began to calmly organize the current situation, making it as hopeful and realistic as possible.
‘Yes, Christian. Now, Oslo Castle has 40,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of citizens guarding its walls. No matter how much Lieutenant General Jaeger is, he will not be able to overturn the principle that nearly three times as many troops are needed for a siege. No, please don’t…’

After about three minutes like this, the King of Stockholm’s panic was completely gone and he was now able to figure out what he had to do.
“Yes, Oxenburg. “In order for us to break this sh*tty situation, wouldn’t it be best for you to go around the walls and encourage the soldiers yourself?”
“I’m sorry, but other than that, there’s nothing we can do right now. I feel like I want to go out of the castle and fight. “Because my beliefs are incompetent.”
“f*ck it, the Reich Empire was lucky to raise such a monster. “Strictly speaking, you and our officers are not incompetent.”
As the king said, Minister of Military Affairs Oxenburg was also a capable general who once drove out a Swedish army of 70,000 with 30,000 soldiers.
Anyone can objectively analyze this defeat because it was caused by Lieutenant General Yeager’s ridiculous command ability.
In this way, the Minister of Military Affairs and the King of Oxenburg climbed the castle wall while continuing their conversation, comforting and encouraging each other by saying that we had done nothing wrong.
As I climbed onto the castle wall, the wonderfully hunger-inducing smell of grilled meat dripping with fat assaulted my nose, and I could hear the sounds of Reich soldiers chatting happily in my ears.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Stockholm kept looking at it from the top of the castle wall as if they were envious.
“f*ck, those idiots are so f*cking good. “Even if you look at them, they will still look horribly pale.”
“….. If I had known this would happen, would I have just surrendered and left? No, should I have just paid and gotten exemption like the Ox next door?”
“I’m hungry, give me food. Trapped inside these castle walls, I can only smell the smell of meat. There’s nothing that goes into your mouth. “What are you doing sitting here?”
The officers were pathetically trying to maintain discipline by scolding or scolding the soldiers who lamented like that.
Only when reprimanding did he show his disciplined attitude, and after that, his discipline would soon loosen and he would return to his original state.
In the meantime, the cheerful and bright sounds of trumpets and drums suddenly started coming from the Reich Empire, and the Imperial soldiers began to applaud wildly.
At the same time, the barbarians who had surrendered along with the Wheel and Ishtaven rose to the stage together, and Lieutenant General Jaeger, the central character of the rumor, appeared and cut off the heads of 10 people with his beheading sword, showing off his beautiful and perfect sword skills. .
Then he pointed his sword in this direction and seemed to say something, and then immediately put their fallen necks on a spear pole and hung them in a clearly visible location.
“……f*ck, f*ck!! I don’t want to be like that, like that! “If I just last one year, I’ll be discharged and I want to live my life touching Irina’s breasts!”
“You crazy guy, why are you having a fit? “If the officer sees you, you’ll die!”
“So Chris, do you want to look like that? “f*ck, what sin have we committed…”
Before I came up to the castle wall, I was afraid that Lieutenant General Jaeger would attack and do something like that, and when I saw his head hanging on the pole, I got goosebumps and my body froze for a moment.
I sympathize with the fact that the king himself must be like this, but he cannot leave the soldiers in this state.
The king sent a signal to the Minister of Military Affairs, intending to use both the whip and the carrot, and Oxenburg pulled out his sword and slapped a soldier named Chris who had made a demoralizing comment while standing guard and made him kneel.
“How dare you, as a soldier guarding the walls of Oslo, the capital of Stockholm, say something that lowers everyone’s morale! Stick your neck out! I will cut off your head, and when this siege is over, I will hang your family in your hometown for treason! “Of course, she’s your fiancé!”
Hundreds of soldiers standing guard around the area focused their attention upon hearing that their country’s Minister of Military Affairs was killing people.
Meanwhile, Oxenburg knelt down and begged for his life. When the soldier resisted, he continued to kick and step on him, neutralizing his resistance.
While we were wasting time like that, Christian came forward, stood in front of the Minister of Military Affairs and spoke.
“Stop! Stop! I know very well what crime this soldier committed, but it does not mean that I cannot understand his feelings. “How scary, how afraid must it have been?”
“But Your Highness! This guard broke military law! “Even though I am in charge of protecting the royal castle.”
“It is this unscrupulous king, your generals, and your officers who have instilled fear in their hearts. It was our fault for being defeated with more than twice as many troops. How can we criticize only that soldier? “Make sure you put that knife in.”
At those words, Oxenburg sighed as if he had no choice and sheathed his sword, and the eyes of the soldiers and officers all focused on the king.
Christian, who felt that everything was going well, spoke with the arrogance and confidence of a king, as if now was his opportunity.
“I won’t tell you not to be afraid. But hang in there. If we hold on, hold on, hold on again, even that evil Lieutenant General Jaeger will return without being able to overcome our high and strong walls. So, grit your teeth, believe in your King once again, and endure until the end.”
These words gave great courage to the soldier named Chris and hundreds of others who barely saved his life.
Because the encouragement of someone with the title of king on the continent of Europa is like a blessing from God.
“But when it’s hard to hold on, just remember this. If you fail to defend this city and the kingdom falls! “Your beloved family, lovers, fiancés, friends, villages, fields, and homes will all be trampled under the hooves of the evil Reich Imperial Army.”
If Peter Yeager had heard this story, he would have responded like this.
‘Am I crazy and want to plunder the village needlessly? There is enough supply, and anyway, if we eat well, 1/4 of this country is ours.’
“So, even if they hang the necks of our comrades who fought with us on spears and mock them, even if they use all kinds of tricks and scare us, protect the castle. “I will do the same with you.”
Christian was not loved by the people as a king, but he was not a king who was resented either.
However, to the soldiers who continued their desperate defense on the castle walls, the king’s consolation was to give them the will to live once again…
“Long live His Majesty the King! Long live Stockholm!! “Let’s protect our hometown!”
“Your Majesty is with us! “Let’s all cheer up a little!”
“Deus, protect our king!”
Starting from where Christian was, the will to fight began to burn again throughout Oslo Castle.
The king, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the numerous generals and high-ranking officers guarding this castle were very satisfied with this scene and situation.
I began to feel confident that I would be able to protect this castle no matter what in the future, when a soldier around King Christian shouted in a loud voice.
“I, Your Highness!!! We’re in big trouble! The village, the village is burning! All the villages around Oslo Castle are on fire! Look over there!”
When Christian turned his head after hearing those words, he saw flames rising from several places in a village a little distance outside the royal castle, which could house about 2,000 to 3,000 people.
At the same time, an abominable voice began to be heard from right near the castle gate.
“Long live His Majesty King Christian! Hurray! Long live! “I praise you for your courage, even though you mobilized 200,000 troops, you were unable to defeat the 110,000-strong Reich Imperial Army under my command and stayed in the castle!”
It was the voice of the person Christian wanted to hear the most, Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger.
“Ah, among the nearly 100,000 people living in the kingdom, aren’t you the head of someone’s head, someone’s brother, and the greatest patriot of the Reich Empire who caused someone’s lover to die? I think you will be very satisfied with this sight! So, since this lowly bastard knows Your Majesty’s will, he burned down the living quarters of the people of the Kingdom of Stockholm. Please open the gates and be treated as the greatest patriot of the empire. When you open the door and come out, His Majesty the Emperor will grant you the title of Grand Duke and the Grand Duke and allow you to live a comfortable life, and you will enjoy the full honor of being a patriot!”
Along with those words, the sound of laughter from the soldiers of the Reich Empire rang out.
“And finally, as a lieutenant general of the Reich Empire, I make a recommendation to all the soldiers in Stockholm! Those who are now opening the gate and coming out, those who are contributing to opening the gate, and those who hope to survive by changing the flag, must quickly declare their will to obey! Otherwise, you too will perish like the burning village here! However, if you bow to the Empire and return to surrender, your family and your life will be permanently protected. “If you want to live, think carefully.”
As soon as they heard those words, several officers became furious and fired arrows at Lieutenant General Yeager, but the Lieutenant General accurately calculated where the arrows were coming from and dodged them or deflected them with his sword.
After that, the lieutenant general led his soldiers back to the base, and Christian’s morale, which had been raised at a high level by putting up a smoke, crashed to the ground and crawled into hell.
