EP.395
When the Reich Imperial Army was defeating the Allied Forces, the Allied staff shouted together.
“Your Highness, if you continue like this, your life will be in danger! “Quickly cross the river without delay!”
“You can buy it just by crossing the Palatinate River! And you must plan for the future!”
“If even His Majesty is captured, the situation will become an irreparable catastrophe! hurry!”
Many of the staff here were serving monarchs of other countries that were not part of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, so to be honest, in normal times, it had nothing to do with whether the Grand Duke died or not.
But now things were a little different.
Although they were not directly loyal to the Archduke, they belonged to the Archduke and came to the Reich Empire along with their country’s soldiers.
I tried to win and share the profits with the Archduke, but...
‘Unless Deus sends down a meteor here, we are unlikely to win, and now we must somehow save at least one more person to minimize defeat.’
As they thought, victory had already been given up, so the only effort the staff and commanders of the Allied Forces could make was to lower the degree of defeat and reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers of their own country.
And the best means among them is to send the Archduke alive.
Captain Greenwich, the deputy commander of the Allied forces, gave strict orders to the soldier pulling the archduke’s carriage.
“Cross the Palatinate River right now. We must get His Highness the Archduke safely to Warsaw by any means possible! “If there is anyone who stands in your way, you can cut them to death!”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Hurry up! “Respectfully escort His Highness the Archduke to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.”
There was even an order from Captain Greenwich.
The Grand Duke of Warsaw is cautious, as the wound on his neck from the sword cut is already growing, and he is even mentally devastated by the shock of continued defeat.
Also, as the person responsible for leading the situation to this point, he had nothing to say, so he did not respond and quietly moved towards the carriage.
“This can’t be happening. “He obviously came with an army of over a million people, but why on earth... why on earth does that bastard, Peter Yeager, block my path so viciously?”
The Archduke was in a half-fazed state and fell into despair, and the soldiers were already completely out of the commander’s control.
“We must protect His Highness! It’s not too late, so let’s pull out our spears and swords and fight against the vicious Reich Imperial Army! “We can do it!”
“If you truly want to survive, you must fight and win against Peter Yeager, who is approaching you! “Let’s all be courageous!”
“Raise your spear! “This platoon leader will stand at your vanguard!”
The officers’ struggles to buy a little time by somehow returning the soldiers to the front line were noticeable, but the soldiers listened to it with one ear and ignored it with the other.
‘Fuck you, the Grand Duke, and if this continues, we’ll all be left behind. I’ve done everything I can, so why are you asking me to add more?’
Therefore, except for the occasional sloppy fool, the remaining soldiers voluntarily retreated, swearing at the platoon commander and company commander.
“Platoon leader, don’t be damned and just fry! How do you stop Peter Yeager?”
“How long have you been bragging to us about how cute your wife is, and now you’re just trying to track us down?”
Saying that, I cut the head of the officer running towards me in two.
My body was tired, but I felt more comfortable swinging the sword than usual.
As I was running frantically, I suddenly saw a huge flag symbolizing the Grand Duke of Warsaw.
But it’s different.
Among the people I had just met, many of them immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered when they were told that their lives would be spared if they surrendered.
“Peter Yeager, you son of a bitch, Marshal of our Allies! die!”
“We will definitely protect His Highness’s life!”
“Destroy the Reich Empire, you bastards!”
As you get closer to the Archduke, the proportion of elite soldiers in the officer guard increases, making it increasingly difficult to move forward.
“You bastards, the Archduke’s collaborators, are no better than dogs!”
However, if you stop here even for a moment, you will not be able to kill the idiot struggling to cross the river in front of you.
I filled my sword with all my strength and quickly swung it at the people blocking my path.
My blade, which had reached its peak, cut off their necks, legs, and hands in an instant, and the mortally wounded ones died one after another, screaming and spouting blood.
As each person passed through, the Archduke’s appearance became more and more clear.
“Peter Yeager! Peter Yeager That fucking bastard is coming! Hurry! “We must escape quickly!”
Even when I heard voices convulsing with fear, I cut off the heads of the two armored officers standing in front of me.
Then, as if he was in a trance, he swung his sword and cut down those in front of him.
The soldier pulling the archduke’s carriage was whipping the horse like crazy, and the archduke continued to scream like a person in fear.
If you’re going to fall behind, you should die in a fashion like a grand duke, so why do you act so recklessly at the end of your life?
If the dead Colonel Landel saw this, wouldn’t he be about to collapse from laughter in Valhalla by now?
Looking at that scene, I thought for a moment that I should capture him alive, humiliate him in all kinds of ways, and then sell him or execute him... but I thought,
‘If I cut off his head here, I can use this momentum to destroy the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. Because then there will be great political confusion.’
And insulting him could mean losing face to His Majesty, so this is the best.
I raised my sword, regretting that I could not inflict any more insults or torture on him.
“You damn bastard, Archduke, you are so lucky.”
Then he quietly brought down his sword.
