Academy Genius Commander

241 – Vikings of the Empire (2)

“An order has been given to turn them into hedgehogs! “Kill every one of them with an arrow!”

“Long live the great Reich Empire! Long live Kakan!”

“Let’s shoot plenty of arrows!”

The northerners fighting on the deck shouted that and started shooting more than a thousand arrows.

Every time the sound of arrows and magic passing through the air was heard, deathly screams of people dying were heard from both military camps.

“Keep shooting! “Kill at least one more guy!”

“Shoot that son of a b*tch right in the eye. Make it one-eyed and send it to Deus!”

“Don’t hide behind your shield! “The ship is rocking anyway, so arrows fired by the enemy do not hit well!”

As we were exchanging arrows like that, the distance between us shortened to about 20 meters.

Then the enemy battleships suddenly increased their speed and started running towards the sides of the ships we were on with the waves attached to their bows.

If you react incorrectly here, a hole may open in the side of the hull and the ship may sink. I was nervous inside because the environment was different from the command on land.

However, since there is no end in sight if we only shoot arrows without approaching, I chose a slightly more aggressive tactic instead of retreating.

“Order the oarsmen to row harder! Also, control the rudder and sails and turn about 10 degrees to the left! “If you don’t want to die, hurry!”

As soon as my order was given, the rowing speed of the Reich Empire ships gradually increased.

In that way, our Imperial Army passed each other in a slightly different direction from the direction from which the Warsaw guys were charging in front, and there was almost no conflict between them.

The enemy’s ambitious ramming attack missed without causing much damage to our ships, and the soldiers of the Reich Empire all shouted hurray.

“It must have hurt your stomach a little because the attack that you used with all your might missed! Damn them, they look so good!”

“The teachers over there must be very disappointed, so give them one more arrow!”

The soldiers were sincerely happy that the enemy’s ill-intentioned attack missed and did not suffer much damage.

The fact that the opponent’s attack missed means, conversely, that the enemy and our battleship crossed paths and our ship was unable to inflict significant damage to the enemy.

Thus, the Warsaw guys failed to attack, but they loudly mocked their allies in a relaxed voice.

“There are so many barbarian bastards who are no bigger than dogs that they can even speak!”

“I’m sorry, you ran away like little pigs and ran away quickly.”

“Next time, I’ll make a big hole in your stomach, so you don’t have to be disappointed!”

In the first conflict, our Reich Imperial Army neutralized the enemy’s attack and ended it, with only one or two enemy ships being destroyed.

It seems that the enemy suffered a similar level of damage as we did, so it cannot be said to be a loss, but as a body with an important mission to plunder the Warsaw coast, we had to avoid further loss of power in the sea battle as much as possible.

“Delivery to the battleship. In this conflict, our troops do not use arrows or long-range weapons. Instead, when we pass by an enemy ship, we will attach the enemy ship to ours! Everyone, grab the rope!”

At those words, all the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and grabbed a rope about three fingers thick.

This will leave you defenseless to arrow attacks while the enemy approaches, but when you pass by, you will be able to pull the enemy with the hooked rope.

When the enemy’s ship and our ship collide, it would be possible for the soldiers to pilot the enemy’s ship (cross over to the ship) and compete in one go.

“Spread your formation horizontally! Surround and attack enemies left and right! “Hurry, row your oars, operate the rudder and spread out your formation!”

According to my command, the oarsmen rowed desperately and formed a formation, and just like that, our battleships went out again to attack the enemy.

“This time, I’ll climb on top of those cute bastards and kill every single one of them!”

“They’re so cute, they’re so cute you want to kill them all.”

“I will break your heads off with this ax that has been passed down from generation to generation from our ancestors! “Consider it an honor!”

The northern soldiers must have been resentful of not being able to achieve any significant results in their first attack, so they gritted their teeth and twirled the rope in the air, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Of course, there was no fear on their faces that they might be killed by an enemy arrow.

“If you don’t want to die, hide yourself in the shield installed next to the ship! “If you get hit by an arrow, that kid is an asshole!”

“Save your body! Kakan does not want you to die on a battlefield like this!”

“Hold on just a little longer!” An exciting battle against the enemies will soon take place!”

As the commanders’ orders rang out, I quickly took out my full-body shield and hid myself along with the soldiers.

Not long after, thousands of arrows flew toward the battleship we were on, accompanied by cheers from the enemy.

Every time I heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind, I could hear the groans of the soldiers next to or around me.

“Ugh, sh*t! “It hurts so bad!”

“My arm, f*ck, it hurts so bad. Warsaw f*cking bastards…”

“Orphaned babies who were born alone in this world without a mother or father. “You shoot arrows like sh*t…”

Hearing those voices, I took the maximum action I could and instructed everyone.

“Don’t pull out arrows arbitrarily! If you pick it carelessly, it can end up costing you more! “Break the arrow shaft so you don’t have any difficulty moving!”

Like I just said, pulling out an arrow carelessly is more dangerous than leaving it alone.

This is because there are many cases where arrows are not pulled out properly when pulled out without even the minimum tools, and parts of the arrow remain in the body and rot.

So, it is much safer to pull it out all at once with the right tool after the battle is over.

Even as I say this, the Warsaw bastards seem to want to kill one more of us.

Like a fool who only ate bread and shot arrows, arrows were constantly flying towards us at an incredible speed and quantity.

And so, of course, the gap between the enemy and our ship gradually began to get closer, until it reached a point where the voices of the Warsaw thieves could be heard clearly in our ears.

“Turn every single Reich Empire bastard who tries to invade the territory of our Grand Duchy into fish food!”

“It’s time to show the hot taste of Warsaw men! “Don’t be afraid and fight!”

“Every arrow you fire saves the life of one of our allies! Even if it feels like your finger will be cut off, just shoot!”

As the distance between us and the enemy became closer, the number of allies gradually dying began to increase.

For a moment, I felt impatient and wanted to get up right away and shoot arrows at them, but no. I still had to wait a little longer.

As I held on and suppressed my anger at being subjected to a little more, a little more one-sided attack, one of the soldiers shouted in a loud voice.

“5 Meters distance between friendly and enemy ships! It’s about 5 meters away! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”

“Ready to throw the rope! Ah, cheers!”

“The time has come to fight like a man! Everyone, prepare for close combat at sea!”

At those words, the soldiers stood up and cheered, along with the sound of arrows hitting their shields.

“Fight like a man! “Let’s kill those bastards who lack spirit and are flitting around like flies with arrows!”

“It’s time to give true education to those who can’t do anything other than hide behind shields and shoot arrows like bastards!”

“Let’s kill every single one of them, damn it!”

Then, as the enemy ship’s iron-covered bow slowly approached to pierce the side of our ship, I also gave an order while holding the rope.

“Throw the rope into the enemy ship! When the hook is caught, pull it at the command!”

Then we threw over 100 ropes at once at the enemy ship.

The hooks attached to the rope were usually caught somewhere on the enemy ship, but sometimes they were caught on the bodies of unlucky Warsaw soldiers.

“Oh! f*ck! Help me! “You bastards, cut the rope!”

“You have to cut at least one more thing! Cut! “Go ahead and cut it off!”

“Damn Carl! Take out the knife and cut it!!”

Meanwhile, the Reich Empire soldiers, including me, pulled the rope with all our might so as not to miss this opportunity.

Before we knew it, the oarsmen on our boat were putting all their oars into the boat, as if they were worried that the oars would break in a collision.

Soon after that, the enemy ship and the friendly ship collided with a loud bang, and the ship shook.

However, because no one had let go of the rope, the enemy’s ship and our ship were so close that we could pilot them just by climbing over the railing.

“Ahoy! We are the Reich Imperial Navy! Cut down every single one of them and kill them!”
