I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 160

EP.160

So far, I, a major general with two stars, have already cut down and killed nearly 20 soldiers in the vanguard, and the knights and soldiers in the vanguard with me are also fighting with all their might and holding firm.

So, if the enemy you were fighting against was a country like the Francois Republic or the Principality of Czechia, the morale of the enemy infantry would have already been low.

The enemy commander would have changed the attacking troops, thinking that if things continued like this, it would be pointlessly forcing soldiers to die…

“Look after you, you evil invaders! “I’ll show you the pride of a Swiss mercenary.”

“You bastards who are worse than pigs, I will take out your intestines and turn them into sausages!”

“die! die! die!”

To add a little bit of exaggeration, as a mercenary country where the entire population is called mercenaries, the children of these bandits may have low physical strength.

Soldiers continue to come in like waves, with their morale still maintained to some degree.

Those damn bastards, they are coming in as if they were actually seeing German troops from World War II on drugs or a Russian assault…

As I continued to cut down the approaching soldiers, I started to hear bad sounds from around me. .

“I’m sorry Maria.”

“Even if I die here, I will die with you. “You’re as bad as a dog.”

“Sergeant, Sergeant! OMG! “You dirty Swiss bandits.”

Because I fight to the death at the forefront, I don’t hear anyone blaming the Crown Prince or other generals.

However, if this continues, the stamina of the knights and soldiers will not be able to withstand it, and the hill’s defense will be completely breached.

Then here we are annihilated.

“Send out the second group. The first group currently fighting should retreat to the rear and take a rest! “For the rear troops, prepare to eat soup mixed with biscuits and grains for the soldiers returning from the first line!”

At those words, the soldiers of the first line who were fighting with me sighed in relief that they could finally get some rest and that they had survived.

At the same time, a signal to switch between the first and second formations was given through the trumpet and flag, and the soldier behind me asked:

“Director, please go with us. Aren’t you tired of already defeating dozens of enemies? “Wouldn’t you, Director, take some rest and replenish your stamina?”

I feel like I want to retreat and rest for a while, but today I have to fight until the enemy retreats, no matter what, with the determination to die.

Only then will the soldiers know that there is a general who will not let them go and fight until the end even in this hellish situation.

Because I will be able to endure the terrible retreat battle that I don’t know how long it will last, using a man named Peter Yeager as my mental support.

As General Yi Sun-sin once said, in order to live, one must be willing to die, or even go to the extent of penance that sometimes makes one think that death would be better.

“I put you on this terrible battlefield because I wasn’t good enough. But how can you step down from the vanguard on just the first day?”

“Haven’t you already fought enough? “If the director gets hurt or dies.”

“Didn’t I tell you yesterday? My mission is to save at least one more of you from this hellish place and return you safely to your hometown. So, on my honor, I will never turn back from this day as long as my heart beats and I breathe.”

Even though I said it, I know it’s a very cheesy thing to say. But now is an extreme situation.

Therefore, a cheesy saying like this can become a famous saying that will go down in history. Even if it doesn’t remain as a famous saying, if it touches the hearts of the soldiers here, that’s it.

The soldiers of the first line, who had retreated to the rear, would be resting, catching their breath, and chatting a lot.

A nobleman named Major General Peter Yeager risked his own life and killed dozens of people in the vanguard, but did not join in during this time when the first army was all retreating and resting.

He vowed that no matter what happens, he would not step back and would continue to fight at the forefront.

If this fact spreads throughout the army, the soldiers will know my sincerity and trust me.

I thought it depended on whether I would be able to return alive or if I would return to Laura dead and cremated.

And just then, I heard the footsteps and voices of the second line of soldiers behind me.

“The 7th Division commander’s flag is standing there! And Director Yeager is on the front lines!”

“The director really risked his life for us! “Let us repay the warden’s sincerity with our lives!”

“You idiot! The division commander thought of even the scum-like soldiers as his children and told them to return alive. So we have to kill them all and return home alive!”

Soldiers who have no choice but to rush into a desperate situation on the battlefield usually stand at the front lines trudging with eyes like dead fish.

But just because I am standing here, these soldiers have hope that they will return alive.

But how can we leave these guys behind and go to rest in peace?

“Unless the sun sets today or those evil Swiss bastards retreat, I will fight in the vanguard until the end. So don’t be afraid. “I will save at least one more person and send them home.”

Naturally, those words were heard by both Swiss and Reich soldiers.

The allies cheered at my words as if they were fanatics shaking hands with an idol, while the enemies heard me and looked like they were done.

“We are fighting the same way, so why don’t our nobles even think about taking the lead? “Isn’t that too much?”

“….. This is crazy, crazy. We’re winning. “They were completely isolated.”

“mom and dad. what’s this? “I’m scared.”

Seeing the soldiers in front of me paralyzed with fear, I swung my sword and cut down the one in front of me first.

Of course, blood splattered on my armor, and the enemies were shocked for a moment, so I took advantage of the momentary daze and swung my sword wildly.

The neck, chest, thighs of an enemy soldier, the waist of a guy wearing quilted armor, etc.

After killing several opponents in such a state of shock, a gap appeared in the enemy’s attack formation.

“Soldiers of the 2nd line, counterattack! Conversely, we will push them off this hill! Just follow my back! “The 7th Division flag bearer will follow you with the division commander’s flag!”

At those words, a young second lieutenant carrying the division commander’s flag began to chase after me, and the soldiers followed, cheering like crazy.

“Long live Director Jaeger! “He made a way for us to live in this hellish place!”

“This is the division commander’s order to save those fear-stricken children by destroying their pots! Everyone, pick up your pillow and follow me!”

“If I break more than 10 pots today and return home, I will become a non-commissioned officer or receive a discharge certificate!”

Hearing that sound, I ran toward the Swiss guys, who were shaking in the wind and even the weapons they were holding were shaking.

Even though I can’t use a weapon like a long spear to attack a hill, a person as high as a division commander running in front of guys with weapons like a mace that can send me away with one hit is a truly crazy act that anyone who knows will try to stop me.

In fact, when our army’s momentum rises, it is relatively safe to stand at the vanguard and charge.

This is because humans instinctively urinate, tremble, and slow down their body movements when they encounter a fearful or strong group.

Because it becomes much easier to kill with my sword.

So, perhaps General Yi Sun-sin also said that to mean that we should give in to our instinct to live and not tremble, but make up our minds to die and move quickly.

“Save me, save me… I don’t fucking want to die… I don’t want to be killed like this!”

When the enemy soldiers right in front of me were shaking as expected and couldn’t even properly hold their weapons, I smiled brightly inside my helmet and said,

“I will save you from the fear of death. Take it easy and die now, you Swiss bandits.”

Then, I swung my sword horizontally and slit the throats of the three men in front with one blow. When he was completely close to the enemy, he sheathed his two-handed sword.

Instead, he took out a mace, which was the most suitable weapon for melee and a special medicine for breaking armor.

“I will crush all of your heads and kill you! Haha, if you want to live, it would be better to turn your back and run away.”

After saying that, he hit as many vital points as he could get his hands on, such as the enemy’s waist, torso, arms, neck, and head.

When the mace hit the enemy’s torso, I felt a tingling sensation and a crunchy, shattering sensation in my hand.

“You bastard, you bastard… You invade our land, pretend to be just, and then fall for yourself.”

Those who didn’t die immediately fell to the ground and cursed me as they felt their heartbeats getting weaker.

However, I had no time to think emotionally, so I just mechanically beat down every single one of the guys in front of me.

I thought I had been fighting for about 30 minutes, maybe an hour, and when I came to my senses, I was already nearly 40 meters away from the hill where our troops were.

A loud trumpet sound was heard from the Swiss camp, announcing a retreat.

As soon as they hear the sound of the retreat trumpet, the enemy soldiers run away so quickly that they say, “Save me!”

“Run from the monster! Run away from that damn lion cub!”

“The Reich Imperial Army was a monster… Monster-like bastards…”

“Even if you act like mercenaries, you will never get involved with the Reich bastards again. Fuck! “Fuck!”

In my mind, I wanted to pursue and slaughter the enemy, but there was a possibility that if I went deeper, I would end up being a tourist.

“We, the Reich Imperial Army, won today’s battle! “The entire army returns to rest!”

I’ll just end here and head back.
