Academy Genius Commander
Chapter 377
377 – Wizards can be used like artillery (3)
The next night, Bastion Castle.
General wizards, excluding commander-level wizards such as the wizard leader or vice-leader, were forced to climb up the castle wall on a moonlit night without even knowing why due to an order from Peter Yeager that came out of nowhere.
Because there was no specific word on what they were doing, the dissatisfied thought of ‘I have to go out to fight again tomorrow, so I can rest at night, what am I doing?’ Could not leave their minds.
Accordingly, some of them muttered grumblingly as they followed the wizard officers up the stairs.
“Hah, what on earth is our enemy thinking, letting us climb the castle wall at this late hour of the night? “Do you know anything, Sergeant Bohrmann?”
“I don’t know, Warrant Officer. “After listening to the story, it seems that officers below the battalion commander were not told what to do.”
“f*ck, you have to tell me what to do and bring me up. “Marshal, I heard you sometimes go too far when you do this.”
“Still, the Marshal is the one risking his life to fight for us, so we have no choice but to trust and follow him, right? “If you listen to the story, the Marshal alone cut down nearly 30 people yesterday.”
If other high-ranking generals other than Marshal Jaeger had summoned the wizard, the wizards would have climbed the castle wall while swearing.
In this castle, more than half of the people would believe that Peter Jaeger baked bread with clay.
Everyone assumed that there must be a reason for doing something out of the blue on a moonlit night, and as a result, all that remained was disappointment and disappointment over not being taught the ‘reason’.
The senior wizard called Warrant Officer smiled and said.
“30 People? Hey, you poor bastard. This probably means that even during that hectic time, the recorder cut down and killed as many as ’30’ people. “Maybe 100 people were cut down?”
“……Is that something a person can do?”
“Marshal Yeager is not the same person as us.”
As the wizards chatted and went up, there were officers commanding archers and gunners with marksman badges standing at a distance from each other.
The battalion commanders of the wizard battalion already knew what to do, so they began the deployment by telling the soldiers under their command exactly where to go.
After the deployment took about an hour, the archers and officers spoke to the wizards.
“The 15th Wizard Battalion, please stand facing northeast. Oh, just turn your body a little more to the left.”
“The 18th Wizard Battalion, please remain facing the front of the castle wall.”
“We ask that the battalion commanders of each battalion follow our instructions. From now on, we will start using long-range attacks using magic.”
When the wizards heard that, they thought to themselves, ‘Is that what you mean? Is it a fart? You have to do what needs to be done. The fireball range is limited to 400 meters. ‘What on earth are we going to do now?’ I thought, but…
Still, they are giving instructions according to the orders of Marshal Peter Yeager, but if you do not follow them, it will be considered a protest and you will become a headless ghost. Everyone followed their instructions without saying a word.
Finally, the high-ranking officers in charge of fire control and even Peter Yeager arrived.
Peter Yeager spoke solemnly to his soldiers before starting the attack.
“Reich Empire Army wizards, from now on we will rewrite the war history and military science of the continent of Europa. “I will teach the Allied bastards what true education is.”
Then, he waved the marshal’s baton and gave the order to hoist the marshal’s flag. When the wizards saw confidence and anticipation in the appearance of ‘Peter Yeager’ going about the operation, they asked their doubts and prepared to follow the given order.
Based on their experience, those selected as sharpshooters and archery officers began to think about the angle and shooting angle to increase the range of the fireball.
“…… Since it’s 400 meters, wouldn’t it be okay to hold it at about 30 degrees and shoot? “Then it will fly about 650 meters.”
“The enemy has built a densely packed dormitory and warehouse for those idiots anyway, so just shoot at the maximum range. “Let’s set it to 45 degrees, 45 degrees.”
“I understand. Then, I will set it to 45 degrees and check how far it flies and adjust the angle.”
Once the agreement was reached, the chief of the archery division and a colonel with a sharpshooter badge approached and spoke.
“I think you can order it to be fired at 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and then adjusted according to the archer officer’s discretion.”
Peter Yeager was able to roughly establish the concept of how to use artillery, but he believed that archers would know better how to fire fireballs at long distances.
“Let’s do that. For the first shot, fire the magic at a 45 degree angle! 45 Degree angle! Afterwards, the firing angle will be determined at the discretion of the officers assigned to each wizard battalion. Marshal Vaughan will only give orders to fire!”
The order was delivered in an instant.
“16 Wizard Battalion! 16 Wizard Battalion, raise your wand at a 45 degree angle right now! If you can’t get the angle right, go back and prepare!”
“This is Marshal Jaeger’s order. 45 Degree angle! Maintain the angle and start chanting! “The launch order will be issued soon!”
“Don’t think about anything, just follow orders! Then you’re halfway there!”
So, except for the high-ranking people, the wizards began to move with doubts as to whether this would actually work.
Soldiers and civilians who were supposed to be sleeping noticed the commotion on a moonlit night and looked up at the castle walls, observing what the wizards were doing at night.
“……What on earth are you wizards doing over there?”
“How do I know that? But I have good ears, so I can slightly hear what they are saying… Let me see, they say to shoot magic at a 45 degree angle?”
“…… I may be an ignorant person, but I don’t know anything about magic.
Isn’t it common sense to fly in a straight line? “Is Marshal Jaeger doing ‘Jaeger’ again?”
“I don’t know. If I knew that, I would have already been promoted to sergeant.”
Meanwhile, Peter Yeager was proud of being the first on the continent of Europa to fire magic like a cannon, and felt his heart grow grandiose.
‘It can be said that the right time to use artillery is to fire wildly from a distance where enemy attacks cannot reach and only allies can attack. Even though I have never operated a gun before.’
And he also thought that the parabolic shooting method used by the Imperial Army wizards tonight would greatly contribute to the development of mathematics in this world.
It was like that in the history of the Earth, so it was assumed that it would be like that in the Reich Empire as well.
“Turn the enemy camp into a sea of fire!”
When the command was issued, more than 2,000 fireballs appeared in the sky near Bastion Castle, turning the dark night sky red.
**
On the other hand, the Allied soldiers did not pay any attention to what was going on and were either sleeping in the barracks or talking loudly while eating drinks and snacks with the connivance of their platoon commanders.
“There is no need for it, and when I return, I will confess to Lucia first. Afterwards, just try to confess successfully. “Before the wedding, make sure to stamp it so others won’t be able to get it.”
“Why would a poor virgin, a guy of that age and with no money saved, marry Lucia? “Just grab someone wearing a skirt and live, you bastard.”
“No. “I’m the type of person who picks on faces.”
“Lucia is a girl who will become a nobleman’s concubine and improve her family. I will marry you, you idiot.”
It shouldn’t be like drinking during a war, but since they are being cornered so unilaterally as to be massacred by Peter Yeager, they have no choice but to relieve their mental fatigue like this.
Also, what makes sense is that from a common sense perspective, it is impossible for some crazy person to pull off a night attack while fighting with only 50,000 troops, and there is an open plain of about 600 meters between Bastion Castle and the Allied Forces camp…
If they keep their guard up, they won’t be surprised, so they can drink openly at night with Captain Greenwich’s tacit approval…
The soldiers didn’t know the details, but they were just chatting and drinking to forget for a moment the fear that they might die tomorrow.
In the meantime, one of the soldiers suddenly started laughing while looking up at the sky.
“Hey, is the new recruit crazy? “Why are you laughing so hard all of a sudden?”
The new recruit said while pointing to Bastion Castle.
“Look over there. Isn’t that Peter Yeager idiot throwing fireballs in this direction? “It probably won’t even reach this far.”
“Ah, f*ck. “It’s going to be so annoying.”
“No, why bother?”
“You bastard with nothing but flour on your head. There’s no way a fireball would reach here, but if they do sh*t like that, we’ll have to be on high alert at night.”
The atmosphere darkened after those words, but their thoughts were the same regardless of whether they were officers or soldiers.
‘Peter Yeager, you idiot, why are you shooting fireballs that can’t even reach you in the middle of the night?’
Contrary to their expectations, the fireball fired by Peter Yeager exceeded a distance of 600 meters and flew right over their heads.
When the completely unexpected attack came, everyone, regardless of whether they were soldiers or officers, let out screams.
“Peter Yeager uses the devil’s spell!!”
“Why is the fireball flying 600 meters, damn it!”
“Help me, save me, damn me!”
