I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 91

EP.91

“You bastard deserves to die a shameful death, spilling blood like this all over the ground! The Heavenly God Tanguri will punish you!”

“You infidel bastard who can’t even get away with it! “Your vain ambition to become Khan is now over.”

After saying that, Ludvik and I continued to clash our swords and fight.

He slashed diagonally from the top left of his head again from his right knee to his neck, then used the momentum to kick with his right foot.

He easily blocked my two attacks with his sword, and the right kick, which he thought was his turning point…

he blocked it with a lot of ease with his right arm, which was covered in chain mail.

He blocked my leg, which was wearing iron gaiters, with an arm wrapped in chainmail, so it should have been quite a shock… Damn, he blocked it with ease.

As expected, he was the strength of an absolute strongman who rose to the position of Khan, the leader of the northern barbarians, ruled only by the law of the fittest.

“Even if a mosquito bites you, it will hurt more than that! If you’re going to deal with this old man, shouldn’t you kick him harder than this?”

I wanted to reply by telling him to shut up, but since my attack missed, there would be no point in replying here.

No, he will taunt me with my answer and the word will spread throughout the army.

Then, the morale of the imperial army will drop, and the barbarians who were surrounded and waiting for the time to decide when to die will use their momentum to kill their allies and leave in search of a way to survive, saying that they have a chance to survive.

“Are you trembling from the majesty of this old man to the point where you can’t even answer like a dumb person? How cute! Alright, I’ll kill you and take off that helmet so you can see how cute your face is!”

As he said that, Ludvik kicked the ground with his foot, kicking up dust.

Because of that, my vision was blocked for a moment, and without wasting this time, he stabbed me precisely at the gap between my helmet and breastplate and shouted.

“The enemy of my loyal subordinate, Töner! I will kill you here for slaughtering my brave warriors! “Die, you bastard!”

For a moment, I tried to block the guy’s attack with a knife, but the stabbing motion had a very narrow attack area, so I remembered the instructor’s words that there are many cases where you die while trying to block, even though you could survive if you just dodged.

So, I managed to block his attack with my left arm and change the trajectory of the knife that came right in front of me.

I felt a heavy shock, as if I had been hit with a hammer, along with a slight numbness and tingling sensation in my left arm.

Shit! If you take off your armor and check, you will definitely see bruises on your arms.

Anyway, when the attack missed and my body’s balance was disturbed, I tried to use the arm that blocked the sword to hit him in the face.

He kicked my left arm hard with his right leg, and the recoil exposed my arm and torso.

“I will send you to your deceased mother and father soon! die!!”

After saying that, instead of attacking me with a knife, he raised his right leg and kicked my torso hard with the sole of his foot.

Thanks to the helmet and armor, I was able to avoid getting injured.

I was dumbfounded for a moment, and Ludvik looked down at me, smiled a rotten smile, raised his sword high, and slashed it down.

“Enemy of Töner! “Die here and become dog food!!”

He plunged his sword at lightning speed into the gap between my helmet and breastplate.

The scene where his sword cut through the wind with a hiss and struck down at lightning speed looked like a slow motion screen to my eyes, and I was able to avoid it by rolling on the ground just before the sword touched me.

“You coward! Do you want to live through the humiliation of rolling on the dirt?”

At those words, even while his subordinates were engaged in a fierce battle, he laughed at me in a sly voice.

“The sight of it rolling on the dirt floor is like roasting a whole pig!”

“The Khan himself will avenge the Töner tribe! Long live Khan!”

“You are wandering like a cornered deer on a hunt! haha!”

My soldiers’ morale might be low after hearing those words, but right now, I didn’t have the time to worry about things like that.

Because… Ludvik, who was in front of me right now, tried to climb on top of me as if this was his chance.

In hand-to-hand combat, the one who gets on top of the body first is bound to win.

“Originally, I would have loved to sit on this old man’s bed, looking at your beautiful face. I don’t think I can do that! Baby!!!”

“You’re spitting out dirty words with your torn mouth! “Even if I kill you hundreds of times, you’re such a rotten barbarian, Khan!”

While saying that, I rolled backwards once more, lifted myself up, and succeeded in dodging the kick he threw by just one inch.

“As expected, it’s enough to kill that guy Töner! “But how can you possibly cause even a small injury to this old man’s body if you keep avoiding him like this?”

Surely, if things continue to be one-sided like now, it will be impossible to even hurt Ludvik, let alone kill him.

Then, if I die or get seriously injured, the morale of the entire army will drop.

Ludvik might be able to use that momentum to escape, and if he succeeds in escaping.

The North will become chaotic again, and countless people will die.

But why do I think that Major Laura would feel especially heartbroken in this desperate situation?

So even if I give this corpse to a dog, I can’t have it killed by someone like Ludvik who won’t eat it.

“I’m not weak enough to be defeated by you, who can’t even throw me away just because I rolled on the ground!”

“The barking of an imperial bastard is the best! Even Tanguri will be very impressed by your bravado.”

After saying that, Ludvik swung his sword widely from left to right, aiming for my armpit.

Rather than thinking that I should counterattack or block his attack because he swung his sword with tremendous force and speed.

As I had just done, I took a step back, dodged the attack, and hit him on the forehead with the pommel (weight) attached to the handle of the sword in my hand.

Ludvik must have not expected this attack and ducked sharply to avoid being hit by the pommel.

Compared to just lightly blocking or deflecting my attack, this can be said to be a bit of progress.

While I was leaning down, the guy burrowed into my body and rushed at me to knock me down.

I already fell on the ground because of that guy once, so I can’t suffer the same thing twice.

“Do I look foolish enough to fall for the same trick again?”

I turned my body to the left, and Ludvik lost sight of me and ended up fumbling in the air.

So, even though he looked a bit funny for a brief moment, he relaxed and praised me as if he didn’t care at all.

“The little one really learned the trick of running away!”

“Yes, I learned a lesson from that guy Töner who was running away. “You will be like that now.”

“this guy! How dare you insult my loyal warrior!”

That crazy bastard cursed himself so much and then said that I cursed his dead subordinate.

This time, he only held the sword in his right hand and quickly struck my neck from above the right side of my head.

The sound of the wind splitting was so fast and heavy that it could be heard even through the helmet.

“die! “You fly of the empire!”

In the eyes of the barbarian chieftain in front of me, ‘Now you are dead!’ Although he was confident of victory, his blows seemed a bit exaggerated and empty.

This is because the motion of swinging the knife with my right hand was larger than necessary, so I could clearly see the trajectory in which he was aiming for my neck.

No, because I felt like they were trying to entice me to stop this.

So instead of blocking the attack or exploiting the gap, I looked to the left of the guy.

just as expected. In Ludvik’s left hand, he held a saber held upside down.

You coward! Obviously, if I had been focused on blocking his attack, I would have been completely unprepared for the attack coming from the left.

When I saw that, I thought about pulling out the dagger with my left hand and blocking it.

If you block that sword with a small dagger, Ludvik’s cavalry certainly won’t be able to withstand its weight.

If you were not able to block it completely, you could have been seriously injured.

Instead of avoiding or blocking the guy’s attack, I held the sword firmly with both hands and aimed it at the guy’s neck.

He kicked the ground with his right foot and flew forward as if he was flying.

In this way, I was able to go inside the radius that could be cut with the blade swinging with my right arm, and I was also able to block attacks coming from the left with the sword.

In the world of the fittest, the man who swung his sword and killed everyone who held the sword, survived, and rose to the position of khan looked at me and said in a mocking voice.

“You look pretty good baby!”

Just like that, I entered the gap between him and completely blocked the attack coming from the left with the sword in both hands.

Then we became so close that we could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeat.

Before he could do anything, I tilted my head to the side and hit his helmet as hard as I could.

Although this move could not have hurt or killed Ludvik, he was momentarily taken aback by the completely unexpected attack.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I threw away his left sword and held the sword with only my left hand.

Then, instead of increasing the distance between him and the guy, he kicked the ground again and hit him with his shoulder.

When Ludvik’s body was momentarily tilted.

I took one more step into his arms, turned my whole body to the right, and used that momentum to strike Ludvik’s bare face under his helmet with the back of my steel gloved hand.

Then, the feeling of the man’s teeth being crushed could be felt through the iron gloves, and Ludvik grimaced in pain.

Although it may not have been a fatal blow, I succeeded in landing a proper blow on him for the first time.

Now, if we keep pushing like this, we can slit his head.
