I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.347

And a week later.

Duke Philolence gathered generals from the Milanese Union and the Reich Empire and held a banquet.

Gorgeous lighting, food sprinkled with expensive spices, beautiful music, and dignitaries wearing clothes richly embroidered with luxurious decorations.

Although Duke Philolence, the host, had not yet arrived at this banquet, which was well-equipped with everything necessary for a victory celebration banquet, the atmosphere seemed already ripe.

“Regent Andrea, we, the Milan Alliance, will immediately come to help Philolence if he falls into crisis without charging any compensation.”

“Is that so? As expected, His Majesty the Duke of Milan and others in the alliance are faithful. Although he is lacking, he is truly trustworthy as the person in charge of part of the politics of the Principality of Philorence.”

“If there was no good faith, how could the Milanese Union have continued for 250 years? “Our union is prepared to take on any risk to save our member countries.”

When I heard that story, I laughed at those two.

Because in this war, the Milanese Allied Forces made virtually no contribution to the war, let alone played a proper role. I would not have received anything except a minimal gift in return.

What you say when you say that you failed to achieve even a single achievement due to repeated failures in combat before you know it, is a spiritual victory disguised as good faith.

Besides, our Regent Andrea would be thinking this while applauding and pretending to sympathize, right?

‘I made a secret pact with Captain Peter Jaeger that if you leave here, you will join the Empire. ‘You stupid bastard.’

Damn, just thinking about it is so absurd and funny that I feel like I’m losing all control over my facial expressions.

While I was watching the non-comic conversation between those two, the main door to the banquet room opened and Duke Philolence came in.

“Be polite! “This is from Duke Philolence!”

At those words, everyone, including me, stopped talking for a moment and bowed our heads in respect until the duke sat in the best seat in the banquet room.

“Get up, today is a very pleasant day, so everyone can enjoy it informally. Also, there may have been some who suffered somewhat due to their instincts during the long war.”

At the same time as those words were spoken, slender and pretty women in thin dresses came in and were assigned one by one to those who participated.

“Once you get drunk, these are the people who will comfortably guide the distinguished guests attending this banquet to their beds. Now then…”

the duke shouted, raising his glass high in the sky.

“A toast to our gratitude for the efforts of the Reich Empire and Milan Union who came to save our country from crisis!”

Everyone who participated in the banquet responded by raising their wine glasses so vigorously that the wine in the glasses sloshed around.

“For the prosperity of the Duchy of Philollens and the eternal faith of the Union!”

“For the unwavering and unwavering alliance between the Reich Empire and the Duchy of Philollens.”

“I hope that the Federation and Empire Philolence will become one and fight against any danger!”

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses at once, and the full-fledged banquet began.

The nobles of Philorence, the Allied Imperial Army of Milan, enjoyed endless servings of wine and food and chatted with each other in all sorts of strange ways.

What kind of battlefields have you been active in so far, what are the popular music and literature performances these days, how to raise your children as a good father, etc…

“I first went to war when I was 18, and I was very lucky back then. I was leading a platoon and charging forward, but the enemy battalion commander was distracted, so I just…”

“Have you ever seen the popular opera called The Ghost of the Bering Sea? “The voice of the woman named Sophia, who plays the ghost, is very beautiful.”

“In my family, when raising a son, when he turns 10, he is taken to a military unit under our command and made to live with the enlisted soldiers for about a week. “Through him, when I became an adult and commanded soldiers…”

Most of the stories shared at the banquet hall were just broached in an attempt to pretend to be friendly with each other, but these days, it seems like they are going too far.

And most of the nobles of Philorence seemed to think that our imperial army was a group of nobles who would soon withdraw from here, and they showed an aspect of flattering and clinging to the nobles of the Milanese Allied Forces, who played only a sidekick role in this war.

It was funny how the corrupt and depraved Philolens idiots who couldn’t read the situation properly and the nobles of the Milan Alliance looked like idiots.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officers of the imperial army, who seemed to have been left out at this banquet, were bragging among themselves about their bravery while gulping down alcohol and meat.

“Major Randel was definitely the one who played the most active role in the siege on the first day. But wouldn’t it be Brigadier General Werner who supported his activities and contributed the most to bringing about the victory of the Imperial Army? “This time, I have achieved an achievement that surpasses that of Director Laura.”

“… … When I think about the achievements made by the 7th Guards Division on the Brito Plain… “Wouldn’t Director Laura’s contribution be greater?”

“Lieutenant General Reinburg, that’s true. “I am saying that my contribution is greater in this siege.”

Strictly speaking, the achievements of Werner and Laura in the Siege of Veneta are almost equal, and if you include the achievements in the Plain of Brito, Laura’s achievements are much greater.

But what’s more important than that is that tonight, when the atmosphere is fully ripe and everyone is drunk and making fun, the grand purge must be carried out.

I naturally decided to tell the imperial generals and field officers who did not know about this incident to refrain from drinking alcohol.

“Drink in moderation. It’s a victory banquet, but I’m so upset because I can’t even talk about my major openly. Well, I knew this would happen and rented an entire nice salon in Philolence. From there, we will discuss who was more active in the siege between Werner and Laura.”

Soon after, unlike the imperial army officers who drank alcohol while refraining from drinking, the nobles of Philorence and the allied nobles of Milan began to falter.

“Tell His Majesty the Duke that I, Peter Yeager, would like to offer him a drink.”

“… … Because His Royal Highness is still young, only grape juice is served separately at banquets. “For someone like that, alcohol…”

“Oh, just one drink, this Peter Yeager will give it to you on behalf of the empire, so what does it matter?”

Request for a drink This was a password that the duke and I had agreed upon in advance.

Shortly after delivering the code, the duke applauded, attracting everyone’s attention.

“I hope everyone pays attention. “I have prepared something special for the people gathered here today.”

With those words, knights of the imperial army came pouring in from outside the banquet room, wearing armor and swords.

Most of the nobles of Milan and Philolence realized what kind of situation they were in and tried to escape out of the banquet room…

The huge door was already closed, and the Duke opened the scroll with an evil smile.

“Andrea Medici Dario Giuseppe! You two and the nobles under your command have conspired with each other to plot the murder of Naruriel Medici and to usurp the title of duke! “All of the circumstances are contained in the secret letter brought by Captain Peter Yeager, so we will hold you responsible and severely punish you and those who joined your gang!”

At those words, the regent, Giuseppe, and indeed all of the Milanese nobles present here, started pointing and cursing at the duke.

“Fuck you peacock bastard! “They’re trying to kill us because we’ve committed some kind of crime!”

“Do you think the Milan Alliance will just sit by and watch your atrocities!?”

“If you release us now, your rotten neck will be saved!”

So, what can these drunken bastards without a knife and wandering around do?

And the people here are all people who usurped the duke’s position and instead of offering it to Andrea, they tried to get a huge amount of profit in return.

Even though they killed everyone, they still have nothing to say.

“Knights of the Empire, kill all those traitors who tried to destroy the order of the Principality of Philolence.”

The ordered knights drew their swords and pointed them at Captain Giuseppe and the others, cutting them to death one by one.

And, although I don’t think they intended it, when only Captain Giuseppe and Regent Andrea were left alive in this place.

I decided to put them on their knees and kill them with my sword.

On the other hand, Giuseppe showed that he accepted his fate and was prepared to die, so he sent him off by slitting his head with one blow. On the other hand, the regent continued to use evil and make a fuss around him.

“You bastard Peter Yeager! Yes, you bastard Uriel! You bastards of a dirty whore! How dare you think you can protect the country even by killing my uncle and regent! “If you had obediently handed over the title of duke to me, I would have let you live in peace with Chloe in a corner of the countryside!”

When the Duke saw the scene, he made no reply, but his eyes contained only contempt and disdain for his uncle.

“Please send Captain Jaeger in peace. Still, he was my uncle and regent.”

I wanted to kill this guy by cutting off his limbs, but since the duke who was involved said that, I couldn’t help it.

I raised the knife, pointed it at his neck, and said.

“If you die without even being able to go through the final confession, your soul will be thrown into the very bottom of hell. “With your family who will soon die and follow you.”

“Save me! Fuck! “I will give you all my property and everything!”

Anyone who dares to usurp the title of duke will die proudly like Giuseppe.

“Look carefully, Your Majesty the Duke. When ruling a country, a monarch sometimes has to get his hands dirty. And please don’t forget that that target could be your family, just like now.”

At the same time as I said those words, I lifted the regent’s head off my shoulder.

And that night, he advised the mercenaries among the Milanese allied forces remaining in the castle to leave the castle immediately if they did not want to die.

The mercenaries who found out the whole story realized that if they were to be stigmatized for helping their uncle in his crazy attempt to usurp the duke’s title, their ransom would drop significantly, and if they were caught holding on for no reason, they would be exterminated, so they all immediately fled.

Of course, all of the Milanese militia were captured or killed for the crime of being under the wrong man’s command.

With this, I succeeded in completely protecting Philolence.

It was a very long and grueling war, but it was a very rewarding war with more than its own achievements.
