Chapter 446

EP.446

Aporet Plain.

“I heard that our imperial army is very capable.”

I was worried when the unit was completely scattered to fool the United Kingdom’s eyes... but the

Reich Empire’s officers arrived at Aporet on time, as they always did, according to my expectations.

It must not have been easy to travel on time, traveling at least a few tens of kilometers or at most over a thousand kilometers, despite various natural disasters and all kinds of variables.

“Very well, Captain Kergit. “What is the current status of the knights and archers?”

“It was a little difficult to get there on time, but I don’t think this will be enough. “If you give me the command, I will be able to turn the United Kingdom’s camp into a sea of fire.”

“Sea of fire, shouldn’t we trample those United Kingdom guys over there with our horses’ hooves and turn them into Hamburg minced meat?”

“I think that’s okay too, Your Excellency.”

Anya proudly spread her shoulders in front of me, subtly emphasizing her chest.

Being able to afford such a prank just before entering enemy territory means that the reports that follow will all have good content, right?

“What was the result of the reconnaissance conducted by Major General Andersen’s archers? “Have the enemies noticed that we are approaching?”

When Andersen heard that, he pounded his chest with his fist.

“Nothing at all. He sent archers to inspect the enemy camp, but the enemy camp was full of soldiers drinking alcohol and looking for prostitutes. “Often, there are people who get drunk and even become drunk.”

Neither the Reich Empire, Franco-Austria, or the Perosian City Confederation allowed soldiers to drink alcohol before or on guard before war.

This is because if the enemy attacks and the soldiers are too drunk to move properly, they have no choice but to be killed.

“I treated Lieutenant General Pete very kindly to His Majesty the Crown Prince, and gradually asked him to pretend to peck at us because we were at a disadvantage. “It seems like you are performing that role well.”

When Andersen heard that, his eyes widened.

“Is that so? “This is my first time hearing this story.”

“Well, it’s the first time I’ve heard it. It’s information that hasn’t been made public to generals below the rank of captain because there’s a risk of leaking secrets and interfering with the progress of operations. So, even though those gathered here now know of the plan to attack the United Kingdom, no one knows how to hold them back.”

Andersen brought his face closer to me, his eyes sparkling.

It wasn’t to the point where I was being pushed in, but even though I’m in my mid-40s, it’s a burden to see a man in his mid-50s doing this.

I might have been happy if a beauty like Laura or Charlotte Louise did this, but...

‘Ha, I’m in my 40s... I’m still in the same shape as I was in my 20s.’

No, since I killed Khan in the middle and swung a lot with my sword, my physical strength is much better now than when I was in my early 20s, right?

It’s no joke, if you have this stamina, you can run a 42km marathon wearing armor and gear.

Even before peace negotiations with the Reich Empire began, there was a certain discipline in place in case war broke out at any time... but after

several years of war, everyone, both officers and soldiers, was exhausted and sagging, turning into a half-rotten lettuce. The kingdom’s soldiers were immediately released.

As long as they did not get drunk and smoke during the day, they would drink and play with the connivance of the battalion commanders, or kill people or desert at night, and as long as they did not get caught, they would just shrug it off and move on.

Platoon leader, can I have just one drink before I go out on guard duty? Just one more drink?

To top it all off, there was even one person who asked if I would drink to the point of inebriation right before going out on guard duty.

There would be no war, and the regiment commander said, ‘We need to manage the morale of the soldiers, so release them appropriately.’ Yes, don’t get drunk and throw up at the guard post.

Even junior officers, such as platoon commanders and company commanders, were tired of the policies of their superiors and the war, and came to think that what was good was good, so military discipline was truly ruined.

At this time, Sergeant James, who had participated in the war against the Francoist Republic for more than four years but had not yet reached the rank of sergeant, was immersed in the joy that the war would soon end.

“Bring me a drink! “Today, Sergeant Lee is giving away every drink!”

“......What’s going on?”

“I heard from our platoon commander that the peace negotiations will soon be successful and the war will end. “They say that even if they can’t eat all of Francois, they eat about 1/3 of it.”

When the other soldiers in the same squad heard the story, they were a little disappointed that they couldn’t eat it all... but

as they thought that they would finally be able to go home and see their wives and children, tears began to flow from their eyes.

“Is that true?”

“Our Lieutenant Jackson may be a bit of a jerk, but he’s not the type of person to talk nonsense about things like this.”

“Are you going home now?”

“Oh, but. I will stay here. “For some reason, when I see what high-ranking people do, I feel like I can become a free farmer instead of a serf if I stay here.”

“If you are going to become a free farmer, aren’t you a future rich person? Our James Snake. “Honestly, let’s make the women drink beer once.”

Sergeant James wanted to shoot back, saying it was a cow laughing, but today was a good day...

“Fuck it. Hey, I’m going to open Sergeant Lee’s wallet today. Gather all the squad members.”

At those words, the soldiers in the other squad suddenly started moving quickly even though their faces were red as they drank alcohol.

Those who obtained the sergeant’s wallet immediately received a huge amount of food from war merchants and even booked a prostitute.

When everyone had to keep their expressions bright, Private William looked in front of him and was frightened.

“... A huge fucking cloud of dust is rising. “Isn’t this the enemy?”

And that prediction was exactly right.
