EP.408
When Peter Yeager climbed the castle wall, everyone’s attention was focused on it.
Recently, he had become accustomed to fighting in the vanguard, including Bastion, and stood on the battlefield holding his sword as if it was no big deal.
Both the Reich Imperial Army and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw’s army were shocked that the Marshal of a country was on the front lines.
The imperial soldiers cheered with joy and hope.
“Marshal Jaeger himself stood at the forefront! We won! “We already won!”
“Don’t let your guard down yet! The war does not end just because the Marshal is at the forefront. “Be more nervous!”
“Fight at the risk of your life in order not to fall behind the enemy!”
On the other hand, the morale of the Grand Duchy’s army, which was already very low, broke through the ground and fell underground.
“...Why is Peter Peter Yeager over there?”
“That damn bastard was hell-bent on killing us. If you don’t kill us, are you going to kill us? “Why all the fuss!”
“Bloodthirsty devil, dirty slave of Satan.”
Amid completely conflicting reactions, Peter Yeager pulled out his sword without saying anything.
My nerves reacted sharply to the sound of sharp metal scraping.
“......Whether you block my way or not, it’s up to you. “I order the entire army to annihilate the dirty and ugly Warsaw bastards on this castle.”
An extremely dry order with no words or actions to boost the morale of the allies.
It was an instruction that violated the formula that states that when standing in the vanguard as an officer, you must boost the morale of the soldiers following you.
Peter Yeager had no need for such pretentious words right now.
This is because every move he made during this war proved his sincerity and ability as a commander of the highest rank, and everyone, both officers and soldiers, sincerely believed in and followed him.
“Long live the Reich Empire! “Exterminate every single one left!”
“Deus Bolt! God willing! “God’s will be done!”
“Let’s go in and build Bastion!”
Marshal Jaeger felt everyone’s reactions with all the nerves in his body aroused by the explosion of adrenaline.
Feeling a thrill from their cheers and support, which was not unreasonable even if they were almost blind, I held a sword in both hands and dug into the enemy army.
“It’s coming!”
The Warsaw soldiers took up arms and tried to keep Peter Jaeger in check in order to somehow kill him.
However, contrary to what I expected, I felt my stomach tremble and my legs lose strength.
When they saw Peter Yeager, they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming force coming from him, and they felt fear and intimidation, as if they were dealing with a huge bear that they did not dare to attack.
“Uh uhh...”
“Is that a person? “Are you a person?”
“Surely what you see in front of you is a person? “Why is my body trembling of its own accord...”
While the Warsaw soldiers were terrified, Peter Jaeger once again tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
He blew off the heads of the three soldiers who were standing there in a daze with one blow.
“People are being killed... ᄅ...”
“Send reinforcements, reinforcements! “There’s no way I can beat that by any means!”
The walls of the castle, which had become a battlefield, were full of the blood shed by Warsaw soldiers and Imperial soldiers, and the urine shed by frightened weaklings who had not yet been hit by the sword.
Peter Yeager muttered on the bloody battlefield.
“One by one... we kill every single one of them. “For the well-being of the Reich Empire.”
As revenge for the horrors he experienced at Bastion Castle, he will probably retire once this war is over, and he hopes that the stability of the empire will continue even after that.
Determined to seek revenge and lay the foundation for the future, he became the Black Reaper who rules the war.
Every time the sword he swung flashed silver in the sunlight, the fearful spirit of the enemy was called to Deus.
On the other hand, Senior General Karl von Dönitz, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force who was in command while watching the scene, gaped.
“... Is that something a person can do?”
Laura, who played the role of his deputy, answered.
“Isn’t this what the enemy is doing?”
“... Your husband is so great that your eyes are so high.”
“In training at the General Staff College, you study the strategies implemented by Marshal Yeager as a reference, but don’t they tell you not to try to imitate his way of fighting? “The Marshal’s fighting ability is beyond comprehension.”
Senior Captain Doenitz nodded at those words.
“... A person like that says he will retire after this war is over... It is truly a big loss for the empire.”
“It must have been a decision made with Your Majesty in mind.”
Peter Yeager’s position is already absolute in the military.
If anything, the Chief of Staff would say that if Peter Yeager pulls out his sword and attempts a rebellion, there is a greater than 80% chance that the coup will succeed and the royal family will be replaced.
“And you and Lieutenant General Kergit are also retiring? I’m so jealous. My son is your age, and he’s just taking the colonel promotion review. You’re not a lieutenant general, but after the ceremony, you’ll be a captain. “I can’t wait to retire with honor and a captaincy.”
“Actually, I want to do more military service.”
Laura sincerely wants to stay in the military.
‘I’d like to show my father how well I’m doing...’
Donitz lowered the baton.
“I want you to mobilize three divisions from Lieutenant General Laura’s 1st Army Group to support Marshal Jaeger’s rear. Even if the Bastion Division can withstand it, it’s too dangerous if the time goes on.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Laura immediately took up her sword and mobilized three divisions to support Peter Yeager.
Dönitz looked at that and muttered.
“...... It is said that a flower is only beautiful if you know when it falls. I can’t believe someone like Marshal Jaeger decided to retire at the age of only 40. “Those words applied directly to the enemy.”
And he immediately gave the following command:
“Mobilize the siege weapon wizard and launch an indiscriminate attack inside the castle walls. According to Marshal Jaeger’s orders, we will kill everyone, leaving no civilians or soldiers behind.”
