Academy Genius Commander

389 – Great Counterattack (2)

What if the Allied soldiers hated the Reich Imperial Army to the point where they would gnash their teeth and jump up in fits of rage at the mere sound of Peter Jaeger’s letter ‘ㅍ’?

The soldiers of the Reich Empire hated and feared the Allied forces to the extent that they could not control themselves with anger even if the letter ‘ㅇ’ was mentioned.

However, rather than the fear and pressure of an enemy that is several times greater than them, the soldiers under Peter Yeager take the lead and sacrifice their lives for their enemies.

I had greater trust and respect for Peter Jaeger, who said he would rather die and save others if only his own life was saved in this war, and was working hard to put it into practice.

So, regardless of whether reinforcements came or not, they stood up, prepared to fight and die together, as Peter Yeager had ordered the march.

“Marshal Jaeger has made up his mind! “Rather than die at the hands of the Warsaw bastards, let’s die fighting with the enemy with honor!”

“I would rather die fighting than trusting my life to those dirty bastards and end up getting killed!”

“Do you survive with your enemy, or do you die with your enemy? There are only two options in the first place! Then you shouldn’t make a choice you’ll regret.”

Everyone who had the ability to run even a little, regardless of whether they were children, the elderly, or women, quickly armed themselves with spears, swords, and armor and waited for the castle gate to open.

Peter Yeager suddenly stood at the forefront of the soldiers of the 7th Division, which was now only one regiment in size and had only about 2,000 members.

“Marshal, can you really stand in the vanguard? “We are charging towards the enemy’s 180,000-strong army…”

“The people here endured a hellish time for a whopping month because of me. If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to respect myself as a commander to them. And aren’t my life and their lives the same life in Deus’s eyes?”

He was not the type of person who believed in Deus very strongly, but he made a remark that made him believe that everyone’s life is of equal value.

Hearing those words, the remaining soldiers of the 7th Division shed tears.

This is because it reminded me of the cruel and cruel end of those who died protecting the empire in this castle, and the scene in which they never showed any signs of fear.

“Now open the gate! And everyone, make up your mind. Either we die here, or we all return here alive. “Don’t think about anything more complicated than that!”

After those words were finished, the gates of Bastion Castle were wide open.

Peter Yeager waited for this moment and held his sharpened sword tightly in his hand.

He ran out quickly while holding his sword and shouting.

“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live the brave heroes of Bastion Castle!”

Following those words, those who ran after him from Bastion Castle chorused the same words.

When tens of thousands of people shouted with one heart and one will, it became a loud roar, like thunder in a dry sky, shaking the Allied camp.

This is something that should never be done during a surprise operation, but anyway, the huge roar they made woke up all the sleeping enemy soldiers.

The Allied soldiers, who had been comfortably sleeping as they had been instructed to take a three-day rest period, were startled by a sudden loud shout and, as they panicked, their minds fell into a whirlpool of confusion.

Captain Greenwich, who took command on behalf of the Archduke, tried to respond by quickly riding his horse to the headquarters barracks where the commander-in-chief was on duty.

The Grand Duke of Warsaw, who was sleeping, was so startled that he fell out of bed.

The officers and soldiers woke up and hurried to get their armor and weapons.

“……Peter Yeager, Peter Yeager, that crazy pagan bastard summoned the devil to boost their morale!”

“How do you win in a fight with the devil? Wouldn’t it be better to just surrender or desert?”

“Shut up, you faithless serf! No matter how many troops Peter Yeager brought, there were only a few tens of thousands of them! “Immediately take out the window, create a dust-proof system, and prepare a defense…”

The number of troops who rushed out of Bastion Castle was only a little less than 20,000, but they had been treated so harshly that they woke up in confusion and began to make a fuss and prepare for defense as if hundreds of thousands of troops had appeared.

It was good to prepare thoroughly, but the problem was that it took too long.

As a result, Peter Yeager was not hit by any arrows or magic while running nearly 1km to reach the enemy camp.

The 20,000 heroes, determined to die, jumped into the enemy camp, prepared to bury their true bones, or even to die.

“Follow Marshal Peter Yeager! Send at least one more person to hell!”

“The basic rule is to kill at least 10 people per person. Before that, you shouldn’t die carelessly. And when you die, get permission to die! “Even if we die, we must keep our enemy alive!”

“You only die once anyway. Let’s use the rest of our lives meaningfully! Let’s die together with our enemies!”

The remaining troops of the Allied forces were 180,000, while the remaining troops under Jaeger, who began guarding the castle with 50,000 troops, were only about 20,000.

In such hand-to-hand combat, unlike an all-out war using all-out firepower, miracles often occur in which a small number of soldiers, determined to die, or simply to die, crush the majority.

Now, the soldiers of the Reich Empire were doing such strange things without any walls to protect themselves.

“Those monsters! The group is crazy, the group is possessed by the devil! It’s the devil! “You devil!”

“f*ck, I’ve fought all kinds of crazy people, but I’ve never been one of these vicious bastards! “They are Satan!”

“Why can’t we stop a mere 20,000 people with 180,000 people! Go forward! Charge! “It is an order from His Highness the Archduke that anyone who takes Peter Jaeger’s head will be granted the title of earl and earldom!”

The Allied Forces tried to stop them with all their might, but Peter Yeager, whose strength surpassed that of the Sword Master, took the lead and launched a special attack that risked his life.

He died mercilessly in front of his attack, but he couldn’t even think of stopping it and couldn’t find a way to kill Jaeger.

The Archduke of Warsaw, who had come out of the barracks with difficulty and was watching Peter Jaeger from afar, was trembling and biting his thumb nail.

“Devil, devil, devil! We have to kill that evil guy somehow. I tell Captain Greenwich, mobilize all your forces to surround and destroy Peter Yeager! “Assume the Jaegers are one army and move!”

For a trembling guy, his judgment was surprisingly accurate.

Because if it weren’t for an individual named Peter Yeager, those 20,000 soldiers would have been annihilated in less than a moment.

And at this time, the sound of the low horn carried by the Northern cavalry echoed throughout the battlefield.

For the Reich Imperial Army, it was a sign of hope, meaning that the reinforcements they had been waiting for had arrived, and for the Allies, it was a warning sound, like a knight of the apocalypse announcing death.

Anastasia, who led the Northern cavalry and finally arrived at the Allied camp, drew her sword and pointed in front of him and said,

“The enemy didn’t even know how many of us there were, and they were so confused when they woke up that they couldn’t even mount a horse! Spread out your formation and attack them! “It will throw the 180,000 enemy troops into confusion and fear!”

At those words, the cavalrymen under his command put aside the fatigue they had suffered from coming here and started running.

The reason was simple.

Although it is a dark night, the flag symbolizing Peter Yeager is visible in the light of the torch, and the flag symbolizing the head of the Marquis Jaeger family.

Thanks to the person who rescued them from the gutter-like life of despair, where they were chased by Ludvik and did not know when they would die by his sword or whether they would shiver in the bitter cold and starve to death.

Just like then, even now, I am filled with respect and overwhelming emotion for the master general who is standing at the forefront and fighting in all directions.

“We only stayed up all night for about two days and rode on horseback, but the Marshal over there has been fighting at the vanguard for a month, putting on a bloody battle! “It would be better for me to bite my tongue and die than to show shame before Him!”

“Without the Reich Empire, there would be no safety for my family or a prosperous life! “Now is the time to repay the favor I received from His Majesty the Emperor!”

“It is time to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, charge for our Khan!”

The Northern cavalry quickly fired arrows from the bows they held at the Allied soldiers.

As the fiery arrows flew, they made the night sky as beautiful as a red silk curtain, and the Allied soldiers stared at the curtain and died miserably, unable to avoid it.

“Deus, Deus! Why have you forsaken us?”

“aaah! We are ruined, God has abandoned us! I’m going to hell now! “I don’t want to die, send me back home!”

“Peter Yeager, you f*cking bastard! “Why on earth are you doing this to us?”

Deus, who could not tell whether they would shout like that or not, and whether he was watching from above or not, did not respond to their prayers.

Meanwhile, the Allied forces were dying while a 20,000-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-strong force directly commanded by Peter Yeager attempted to break through the center.

Outside, the archers suffered a double whammy of breaking their defense.

The Grand Duke of Warsaw and Captain Greenwich felt helpless and despairing as they watched this scene, and fell into a state of despair as they did not know what instructions to give.

I saw with my own eyes the incredible miracle that reinforcements, which I thought would take at least another month to arrive, suddenly appeared in the middle of the night… I felt so terrible that that miracle was on the side of the Reich Empire.
