I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.342

As soon as Peter Yeager heard that the Venetah gates were open, he slammed both hands on the desk and gave an order.

“As of the current time, I will go to the scene and directly command the soldiers! The command center will be temporarily overseen by the Chief of Staff. “Can you do it?”

“I will do my best to live up to your expectations, Commander!”

“I will leave only one regiment of guards and messengers at headquarters. “The remaining three regiments of the division under the commander’s direct command, follow me!”

After giving that order, Peter Yeager grabbed his sword and ran out of the headquarters.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the three regiments under the commander’s command immediately got up and started running after the commander.

“We are finally free from the burden of standing like idiots in the corner of headquarters! Follow Captain Peter Yeager!”

“Let’s start by establishing a major and get promoted!”

“Wife, risk your life and fight for your gold necklace and gold ring!”

As Peter Yeager was leading three regiments and quickly running toward the open gate, the Chief of Staff, who arrived first in front of the open gate, was preparing to launch a mindless attack on the troops beyond the gate.

When the gate was opened, the first to appear were a few brave allies who succeeded in opening the gate, but behind them were numerous Veneta militia.

“Captain Peter Yeager said he would spare the lives of those who surrender! If you don’t surrender, you will all die right here! Will you surrender and live, or will you endure and die? “Choose!”

Immediately after recommending surrender, the Chief of Staff raised his hand and ordered the wizards and crossbowmen to prepare for the attack.

However, the militia inside the castle gates who heard the recommendation to surrender and the nobles who were their commanders were in a very confused situation due to differences of opinion.

“Once the castle falls, it’s over, noble lord, let’s just surrender. Don’t you think that if you survive and keep up, you can act like a noble or something and touch the breasts of your new concubines?”

“Have you seen this bastard! Veneta Castle cannot be destroyed by a crisis of this magnitude! Don’t be a bitch and attack! “Turn the window!”

“Fuck, we’re going to surrender! “Let the nobles also put down their spears!”

It was absurd to do something like this when the castle had not fallen and the enemy was right in front of them. However, having been attacked day and night for over a month in a castle filled with hundreds of thousands of untrained militia and civilians, I was mentally exhausted. Because fatigue is already at their limit.

When the great crisis of the castle gate being opened came up, the militia gave up and were left with only the desperation to save their lives, so they were able to confront the nobles who they could not even make eye contact with during normal times.

On the other hand, the Chief of Staff, while watching, counted very slowly from 1 to 10 in a loud voice, and when they still could not decide on a proper policy… he

pulled out the sword he had on his waist, held it out in front of him, and gave an order.

“Wizards, chant magic, and archers, fire arrows straight at them! We must secure the gate! They are the ones who didn’t surrender even though they were given a chance to do so! “There is no mercy.”

As the bow and crossbow magic poured into the castle gate at the same time, both the nobles and the militia equally fell behind, and the chief of staff in his mid-50s became as agile as if he had returned to being a young officer in his early 20s and quickly ran towards the gate.

The magic that rejuvenated the 30-year-old was that he, a late-career major general who was about to retire, could see a path to being promoted to lieutenant general if he achieved the feat of opening the castle gate.

‘If I am granted even one more baronage for my achievements, I will definitely take a girl named Iris as my concubine… Hehe, how happy and exciting life will be after retirement with old people. If only that happens.’

When he finally secured a way for the imperial soldiers to pass through the gate, he had the rider raise a huge flag with his family’s emblem engraved on it and shouted.

“Major General Matthias von Gretelheim has secured the entrance to the castle gates of Veneta Castle! “Let the soldiers on the eastern wall enter this way and completely capture the castle!”

Following the command, those who had been struggling to climb up the ladder from the eastern wall changed their route, ran over, and began entering the castle through the gate at great speed.

Peter Yeager also succeeded in entering the castle through the gate of the eastern wall with three regiments directly under the headquarters.

Captain Yeager gave this mission to the Chief of Operations Staff with the intention of giving him more opportunities for promotion in his later years in consideration of his achievements so far.

He responded to my expectations, so I went to see him on the way, put my hand on his shoulder, patted him, and said,

“After this war is over, I will do my best to help you move to your next position as vice-captain of the Knights Guard.”

“……. It is an honour.”

The size of the Knights Guards is only about 10,000, but because of the symbolism of directly protecting the emperor, it is a special unit where the commander is a four-star captain and the vice-captain is a lieutenant general.

Because the number of people is small, if a general or higher is assigned there, it is considered an official position, but it is a unit with symbolism and honor.

Major General Mathius was unable to control his emotions and committed an indecent act, showing tears on the battlefield, but Captain Jaeger pretended not to see it and moved to the square, which could be said to be the center of the city.

“Send a signal to all units inside the castle! Two fireballs at short intervals and two at long intervals! “The castle wall has been completely breached, so order all available units to follow me and gather at the square in the center!”

According to Captain Peter Yeager’s orders, the magicians belonging to the regiment sent a signal with fireballs, and the soldiers crossing the castle wall from all directions, east, west, south, and north, cheered.

“Long live Captain Peter Yeager! Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor! The east side has been completely breached! “All units that are eligible should move to the square!”

“Suppress the civilians if you can. As long as you’re holding a spear, it doesn’t matter if you’re a girl, so kill it! “Don’t forget that if you get caught listening to the guy in the middle of your leg and raping him, you will be punished by hanging!”

“Charge forward! Charge forward! “Push forward like this!”

As the imperial soldiers, surrounded on all sides, gradually focused on the openings and pushed in aggressively, their momentum increased, some of the militia seemed to think that there was absolutely no answer.

People threw spears and raised both hands to declare surrender, and when the noble officers of the Duchy of Veneta saw this, they drew their swords and began to mercilessly cut down the militiamen who threw down their weapons to surrender.

‘If I get pushed out of here, not only me but my family will all be ruined. Then, the luxurious life of playing with young concubines, the life of respect in society, and the end of honor.’

“You fucking bastards, don’t back down!”

“Go forward and fight!”

“Charge forward! Charge forward!”

Morale seemed to rise for a moment as the enraged nobles frantically cut down the allies who had offered to surrender, but they were unable to stop the momentum of the imperial army, which was confident of victory, and the situation completely turned in the imperial army’s favor.

In the meantime, Peter Yeager was also pushing forward without hesitation, saying that now was his chance to push forward, when he witnessed a group of women and girls come forward to resist, holding only flimsy weapons such as farm tools.

The sight of women and children standing trembling, holding scythes, hoes, and cheap swords looked pitiful and pitiful, but some officers and soldiers laughed at the sight.

“I saw the idiots from the Principality of Benete mobilizing even worse-looking women than their faces to block the road and make a fuss. “Those bastards are now completely ruined.”

“It looks scary. Look at the weapon he’s holding. “If you want to hear it, you should have heard something plausible.”

“If you bitches want to live, they’ll think about spreading their legs, but they’ll grab weapons in a way that doesn’t suit them, damn it!”

At those words, the women trembled but did not let go of their weapons, and the soldiers aimed their spears and swords and prepared for battle.

However, Peter Yeager saw clearly that the morale of the women facing the enemy was so low that they had no ability to fight at all.

So, he stopped the soldiers with his hands and walked out slowly, holding the handle of his two-handed sword with his right hand.

As expected, the women did not think of attacking him and just watched quietly.

Jaeger went to the front of the girl holding the flail and spoke.

“If you surrender, I will guarantee your life and not harm you. However, if you do not surrender, you will be considered a warrior who took up arms and attempted to resist honorably, and will be treated equally regardless of age and gender. “As commander of the Reich Empire, I declare on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor that, judging by your courage, no soldier of the Imperial Army will violate your chastity and chastity.”

Then, at a speed so fast that no one in the group could react, Captain Jaeger cut the flail handle that the girl was holding into four pieces, and then threw away the helmet the girl was wearing with his sword.

It was a cut for show without any intention to harm, so the girl in front of Jaeger was not hurt at all, but she was exhausted standing in front of the overwhelming fear of the blade.

Jaeger raised his left foot and gently pushed the girl down without using any force, and then pointed his sword at her and said,

“If you don’t surrender, we will kill you all. We are busy. Make decisions quickly. “Will you die with honor, or will you save your life and that of your children, even if it is a bit pathetic?”
