I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

Chapter 414



EP.414

Early morning the next day.

A trumpet sound announced the advance of the Reich Imperial Army.

Warsaw’s officers and soldiers, who were mobilized to extinguish fires in the castle all night and were harassed by those who were out to hunt down traitors, could barely sleep and were guarding the walls with their eyes wide open, trembled with fear when they heard the sound.

“Peter Yeager, how many people will that fucking bastard kill today… He’s such a Satan that even if we rip out his intestines alive and kill him, it’s not enough…”

Another soldier said, sighing even louder.

“The Imperial soldiers were really stabbed to death by spears, but they kept cutting at them relentlessly, saying they would take at least one more person with them… Crazy bastards…”

The officer cleared his throat after seeing the soldiers chatting like that.

“Kuhm, why is there so much chatting before a fight? “If you don’t listen to my orders or the platoon commander’s instructions, you could be beheaded for violating military orders.”

When soldiers are trembling and say things that lower their morale, summary action is generally right, but in this situation, it is obvious that the morale of the soldiers will only fall further.

The officers pretended not to hear anything and only gave a stern warning.

Normally, a million armies of the Reich Empire would walk towards the walls, but now only Peter Jäger walked quietly near the walls of Polsky Castle.

The Warsaw soldiers murmured at the sight.

“What the fuck. “Are they really coming to advise us to surrender, saying they will kill us all again?”

“Is that possible, Corporal?”

Behind the Jaeger walking near the castle wall was a golden cross symbolizing Deus, not a flag symbolizing an Imperial Marshal.

“Hear, you wicked ones of Warsaw! “I stand here today not as a marshal of the imperial army, but as a saint who received the words of Deus!”

At those words, both the Imperial Army and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw Army were puzzled.

‘Why are we all of a sudden looking for God?’

This was so unusual that both people thought the same thing.

Laura was so dumbfounded that she asked around.

“No, I heard wrong, right? “The enemy is someone who doesn’t even bother to attend Sunday mass.”

“You must have something on your mind.”

Those who knew him personally were almost certain that Deus could not have answered Peter Jaeger’s prayers.

Peter Yeager shouted loudly.

“Yesterday, while I was praying, Deus said that the sins of the heretic prince who died in Bastion were so great that they reached the heavens!”

The Warsaw soldiers whispered.

“What the fuck, if that guy, Peter Yeager, really received God’s answer?”

“Could it have been like that? He’s clearly lying to raise the morale of his soldiers…”

“But if there was a response from Deus, wouldn’t we never be able to win?”

Officers and nobles were also inwardly anxious.

‘What the fuck are you planning on doing? Ignorant people would just be fooled by this type of religious statement.’

When Jaeger saw the Grand Duchy soldiers on the castle wall shaking, he clenched his fists and smiled.

‘As expected, the power of faith is truly great. After I win, I have to give 30,000 gold coins as an offering. ‘If you received something, it’s right to give it back.’

“Deus said he would bring great misfortune on the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. He said that in the future, he would hand over the Grand Duchy to the Reich Empire by dimming the guns of the officers commanding you and making the soldiers lose the will to fight!”

Jaeger himself felt some remorse for selling out Deus, who had not given any revelations or answers.

Captain Carol, who was listening from the side, opened his eyes brightly and put his hands together in a posture as if he were praying.

What Yeager said was to keep alive the principle that when inciting everyone, you must first tell the truth and then tell a lie so that people will be deceived.

‘Really, in this era, faith is the best. It was the same during Francois’ time…’

He was so dumbfounded that he laughed.

At Polsky Castle, nobles booed.

“Do not refer to Deus’ prophecy in vain! “You damn heretic!”

“Do you think he will take your side!”

“Everyone cover your ears! “Don’t be afraid of being deceived by such bullshit!”

Jaeger saw the enthusiastic response and couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from rising up to his ears.

I was wondering if I should cover my face with both hands.

Instead, he pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it to the sky.

“Deus took pity on the lives of the nobles and people in Polski Castle and gave them a chance to repent! How can you be so unaware and repentant? Therefore, He will forgive only those among you who repent for their sins and cooperate with the imperial army!”

I took a breath and shouted.

“Deus himself will show his wrath and omnipotence. He declared that he would see the proof in person in a month from now! “There will still be a chance to repent and repent, so think carefully!”

As soon as Peter Yeager raised his hand, priests and a military band appeared, accompanied by loud trumpet sounds.

At the head was the archbishop holding a golden cross, with numerous priests lined up behind him.

The archbishop spoke loudly this time.

“Woe to you, people of Warsaw! And rejoice, soldiers of the Reich Army, for he will avenge Bastion here and today! Pray and praise! Follow His will! “Start your march!”

As soon as the words were finished, the military band played the fast and cheerful rhythm taught by Peter Yeager.

The clergy, led by the archbishop, began to circle around Polsky Castle at a ‘sufficient distance’.

“Call Siloam! In hell, in despair, I set out to find hope. “Even when bells rang and roosters crowed, all I saw was despair.”

The lyrics were dark, but the tune was very entertaining.

It was so bad that even the Warsaw soldiers shook their shoulders for a moment.

As soon as the imperial soldiers heard the lyrics, they spontaneously clapped their hands and responded.

“Marshal Jaeger probably doesn’t have a talent for composing music. Could it be that Deus really gave us a revelation?”

“My shoulders are shaking all the time.”

“It’s a song that His Excellency the Archbishop told us to sing happily. “Just enjoy it.”

It was a very natural reaction since music reminiscent of a festival was played in the midst of a difficult and painful war.

This song had the effect of warming the hearts of the soldiers to some extent.

The Warsaw soldiers were unable to do anything rashly due to the principle of not shooting priests.

“Division commander, are you shooting arrows and magic over there?”

Meanwhile, at the same time, Lieutenant General Appel, the engineer commander, was giving orders to his soldiers.

“We must somehow dig a hole all the way to the eastern wall of Polsky Castle within a month! Hurry!!! “My promotion depends on it!”

“Yes, I understand!”

“Ahh, isn’t it so refreshing to see a young guy shoveling something!? “Get out of the way!”

Then, Lieutenant General Appel was so blinded by the promotion to ‘captain’ that he took a shovel from one of the soldiers and started digging himself.

“This old man is also shoveling, so what are you doing? Is it all about nobles with titles? Hurry! And bring the tree!”

It was a moment when it was confirmed that the lieutenant general, who had received three stars, grabbed the shovel and the soldiers had no idea how to fool around and were going through a hard time.

‘If the Marshal says 4 stars, it will definitely pass. Then my arms will bloom too.’

Those who served superiors who were blind to promotion had to work hard to death.

The priests walking around Polsky Castle were singing praises and shaking their shoulders in sincere joy.

“Thank you, Deus! Give me this city! “Please show me that great miracle!”

Some young priests clapped their hands and even shook their hips. Some of the imperial soldiers also hummed the lyrics to the exciting rhythm.

At this time, the wind catcher planted by Peter Yeager shouted loudly.

“You promised us victory! Deus, please show me a miracle!”

Among the soldiers, there was someone who had already learned to sing, and they sang it loudly so that everyone could sing along.

So, when the priests returned after circling roughly along the castle wall, everyone was able to sing that song, and all the imperial soldiers cheered in welcome.

“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”

“Deus, protect the enemy and the empire!”

“We won! “Let’s go in!!”

Peter Yeager gave an order after seeing the soldiers’ spirits soar to the sky.

“Deus is with you! Everyone charge!”

To those words, all the imperial soldiers responded with lively voices.

“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live Deus! God save the empire!”

“It is God’s command to kill every Warsaw bastard!”

“Break at least one more guy!”

On the walls, the Warsaw soldiers trembled in fear as they saw the Reich Imperial Army, which was said to be wearing ‘God’s blessings’.

“Can we really win?”

“I don’t know, bastard…”

“I don’t know, so shut up.” And that’s all a lie. “That can’t be possible.”

“I hope I don’t die.”

Peter Yeager then raised and lowered his hand and gave an order.

“Pour magic and stones into the walls and castle! “No one in that castle can be left alive!”
