I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 449
EP.449
At the time when Peter Yeager was kindly explaining the meaning of ‘peace negotiations’ to an ignorant United Kingdom Army officer, numerous reports were coming in to Marshal George of the United Kingdom Army.
“Here’s a report! Major General Lawrence’s 7th Division has been annihilated!”
“Lieutenant General Rose has been killed! Lieutenant General, the corps under your command has become uncontrollable!”
“Colonel Miles warrior! “The 18th Regiment has been annihilated!”
All of them were bad reports for the United Kingdom Army, and it made George feel dizzy.
As George continued to listen to these reports, many thoughts came to his mind.
One is resentment as to why such misfortune should happen to oneself.
Another thought is the absurdity of why that guy, Peter Jaeger, encouraged them to subdue ‘François’ and why he is now backstabbing them.
At the same time, he wonders whether he will be able to return alive like this and is anxious about what will happen to himself and his family even if he does return alive.
Marshal George of the United Kingdom was almost driven crazy by mental shock.
‘However, I am the Marshal and Count of the United Kingdom Army.’
The only thing that allows him to endure is his pride and mental strength as a United Kingdom officer and nobleman, built up over several decades.
“…Fuck!”
The atmosphere became even heavier when Marshal George unconsciously uttered an expletive.
“Fight to the death! Struggle with the determination to die! “I will hold my sword and fight, so you, my staff, will follow me with their swords!”
The staff who heard that fell into despair.
According to what they learned at the United Kingdom’s Staff College, having a group of commanders and staff members go out and fight is already…
‘We have been defeated.’
Because it was the same as declaring this.
Of course, His Excellency, a certain crazy Generalissimo of the Reich Empire, draws his sword and goes to war himself at the ‘critical and necessary moment’, regardless of whether the war is favorable or unfavorable.
Since Peter Yeager is a monster that boasts power beyond the human level, he should naturally be treated as an exception.
“Marshal, are you out of your mind? “Our United Kingdom army can still fight.”
George, who heard those words, grabbed the aide by the collar.
“Peter Jaeger came in with his knights! You idiot! So, there are already 10 divisions that have been split up!”
“That’s true, but I can’t just give up like this…”
“I know, I know! So, I’m not giving up. I will personally go around the front lines, encouraging the soldiers and correcting their posture. Extermination must be avoided at all costs!”
Marshal George had already given up on winning this war or completely stopping his attacks.
However, as an enemy of the United Kingdom until the end, he just tried to minimize the damage in any way possible.
“There is no need for a command center or anything! “As of this hour, I, Marshal George Dwayne, will ride around on horseback and encourage our troops.”
Marshal George said so and rode around the camp with his staff on horseback, ordering the reorganization of the army.
But it was already too late.
Meanwhile, the archers of the Reich Imperial Army were having such a good time that they thought this was heaven.
The great khan who commands them, the weak enemy, and even the human targets who die even if they shoot arrows at random.
I kept cheering as I thought that this was the true taste of ‘looting’ that I often heard from my father and grandfather when I was young.
“Long live His Excellency the Marshal! Long live Khan!”
One soldier was lucky enough to kill a United Kingdom officer.
The soldier smiled broadly as he collected his United Kingdom officer rank insignia and sword.
“Did you say it was one gold coin for each officer?”
However, since what the soldier killed was actually the ‘Colonel’, if he returns alive, he will be able to receive a reward of about 50 gold coins.
50 gold coins may seem like a small amount, but it is enough to change a family’s fortune in an instant…
This guy’s dream of turning his life around during the war came true.
Peter Jaeger watched indifferently as the archers and knights trampled the enemy army.
“It’s always not a good thing to see the enemy soldiers dying.”
If someone who didn’t know him heard that Peter Yeager was reluctant to commit massacres, they would have a hard time believing it.
Jaeger himself was a person who preferred peace more than war.
After becoming successful, he was also a good man who generously invested his wealth in helping the socially underprivileged, such as orphans and widows, within the empire.
Because he had such a personality, he had never felt happy while killing his enemies.
‘I’m just doing what’s necessary for the empire.’
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Peter Yeager looked around.
A man moving with a colorful flag was shouting in a loud voice.
“Rearrange your formation! Don’t give up! “Each division should form a square!”
The soldiers under his command began to prepare their formation to the dignity of five stars.
“Make a dustproof! square! “Fuck!”
“If you don’t want to die, run to death!”
“Even the Reich Empire won’t be able to kill us carelessly if we stick together!”
Peter Yeager inwardly stuck his tongue out at the sight of Marshal George.
This is because I thought it was absurd that someone who had the intelligence to judge that this was the best thing to do in a situation like this was deceived by fake peace negotiations.
“When humans let their guard down, they get stabbed in the back like that.”
After sighing a few times, Jaeger gave orders to his archers.
“Shoot the signal arrow (arrow that makes a sound) to signal retreat!”
With that command, an archer fired an arrow into the sky.
A crackling sound rang out in the sky, and the archers and knights had to turn their horses’ heads as if they were disappointed.
“The Khan is ordering us to return.”
“There’s nothing good about bumping into people who are just making a fuss.”
“That’s true, but isn’t this a major you can get for almost free?”
Still, if they disobeyed the order, they could be executed tomorrow, so they all retreated quickly.
As soon as Jaeger confirmed this, he sent a hand signal to the other archers.
Then, this time, two signal arrows were fired into the sky along with fiery arrows.
It was a signal to mobilize the infantry waiting behind the knights and archers.
Laura saw the signal and stretched out to relax.
“This is an order from His Excellency the Marshal! “Kill every United Kingdom soldier without leaving one behind!”
As soon as the order was given, all the imperial infantrymen were excited and rushed in with their spears.
In a war, if you were to jump into a situation where you might die, you would have to shout to gain courage, but the current situation was very different.
The United Kingdom soldiers in the camp there are remnants trampled by Peter Yeager, his knights, and archers.
Just killing those guys could bring you rewards, promotions, and a chance to turn your life around, so isn’t it strange that you don’t get excited and don’t shake your shoulders?
“Fuck you Maria! “I will succeed and make sure my parents and your parents live well!”
“We will free our son from serfdom!”
“Life is one shot!”
The imperial soldiers, whose eyes turned red at the opportunity to make a mark, quickly rushed towards the direction of the Allied infantry.
Hundreds of thousands of people screamed in joy when they saw the United Kingdom army, which was still poorly formed.
“Those idiots are still doing that!”
One soldier was so moved that he ran and slapped himself.
“Jin-hyung, look at him squirming like that. If you’re lucky, you might even get some branches from a high-ranking person, right? “Look at the sloppiness… those incompetent bastards.”
However, if you actually look at it, the soldiers of the United Kingdom and the officers commanding them are at least pretending to deal with this situation.
Even in the eyes of the picky Peter Yeager, they were capable.
Since ancient times, many aspects of life are proven by results, regardless of intentions or good processes…
In the end, the United Kingdom guys here will go down in history as ‘incompetent’ people.
In the changed situation, the soldiers of the United Kingdom Army, who had been calmed by Marshal George, slowly began to collapse.
“Fuck, fuck! “How the fuck can you do this!”
“Platoon leader, is it true that we can return alive?”
“How can I defeat that, how can I defeat that Peter Yeager…”
Everyone was thinking about deserting, but there was no way out.
This is because the imperial soldiers were rushing in, surrounding them from all directions.
“……Aaaah fuck!”
“If this continues, we will all die!”
“Platoon commander, company commander!”
The Allied soldiers cried out and tried to find a way to survive… but
what way was there to survive when their enemies had also given up?
However, Peter Yeager also knew that if United Kingdom soldiers ‘resist to the death’, the sacrifice of our troops would increase.
“Put small holes in every corner of the siege! Let the enemies know about the existence of this hole and let anyone who escapes here go!”
It opened a way for me to survive and prevented Bae Su-jin from being attacked.
