393 – Battle of the Palatinate (3)
In order to fight against the enemy, you have to somehow unite the soldiers, form a square, and resist in that state, and you will probably win the game.
The Allied forces, who already had only one thought in mind, ‘The only way to survive was to quickly escape from the Reich Empire,’ did not dare to properly resist.
“Peter Yeager, you crazy bastard! Since we were wrong, we will now go away quietly. Can’t you just leave it alone? “There’s no reason to kill everyone like this!”
“You bastards of the Reich Empire will go to hell! Do you guys have a hobby of slaughtering even those who run away? Nothing will get better by killing us. “Let’s live a little too!”
“Please just save my life, just save my life. From now on, I won’t even urinate in that direction.”
If anyone heard it, they thoroughly played the good-natured underdogs by making up stories like the Reich Imperial Army was killing the helpless Allied forces who had admitted defeat and were returning to their own countries just to enjoy the joy of slaughter.
But in reality, those who invaded the Reich Empire first were the Allied Forces.
In the first place, the concept of good and evil cannot be applied to murder on the battlefield, except for the massacre of civilians, so when the Reich soldiers heard this, they laughed inwardly.
Especially those who fought with Peter Yeager in Bastion Castle ground their teeth in anger when they heard those words.
“We have been fighting you guys for over a month, watching my family die before my eyes! “My wife and my children were cut and stabbed to death by your swords and spears!”
“When they were winning, the bastards who were killing us, calling us Satan worshipers, are now pretending to be weak and spewing out anything just because they got a hole in their mouths. My disgust knows no bounds!”
“Kill every single one of them! “Don’t accept surrender!”
Although Peter Yeager was not in the vanguard, those who fought at Bastion Castle fought without sparing their lives in the hope of avenging their family.
Their anger, madness, and will to kill were also contagious to the imperial soldiers behind them.
“Out front, the women who fought together with Marshal Jaeger at Bastion Castle are stepping out and fighting together! Brave soldiers of the imperial army, are you going to wear red pepper and have to be pushed around by young women?!”
“Bury the bastards who invaded our empire in the Palatinate River! “Make every one of them a fish meal!”
“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Kill them, kill them! “Kill me!”
As the Reich Imperial Army, whose morale was sky-high, pushed in with overwhelming force, the Allied soldiers almost gave up resistance.
‘f*ck, there’s no way we could win if we fight those crazy guys, right?’
The guys who decided that way started to slowly retreat, pointing their spears at the enemy, even though no one had ordered them to do so, as if they had made a promise.
They all wanted to turn their backs and run with all their might to escape the monsters of the Reich Empire, but even now, there were countless allies behind them holding on to their ankles.
So even if you wanted to run to escape, you couldn’t, and this phenomenon occurred.
“Aim your spear and slowly retreat! “f*ck, fall out slowly!”
“You have to go quickly, the guys in the rear are holding out, so you won’t be able to get there! Aim your spear at the enemy and pretend to form a square! “That’s the only way to live!”
“f*ck you, those Reich Empire bastards who sold this soul to Satan!”

The guys in the rear guarding the soldiers crossing the river were holding on to their positions, but the problem was that those in front were retreating quickly.
Thanks to this, if you go a little to the rear, you will be pushed back like dominoes by the soldiers moving backwards from the front.
So far, as long as everyone did their best not to fall, they could somehow hold on…
If one person happened to fall, dozens of others would fall on top of them and be crushed by each other’s weight.
“I can’t hold on any longer.”
“You crazy bastard, ah. f*ck, I can’t breathe. Help me, it’s heavy! “It’s heavy!”
“Mom, Dad, please save me. It’s heavy, my chest is pressed. “I can’t breathe.”
As numerous soldiers were trampling each other to death while running backwards, a situation arose where even those who had crossed the river in an orderly manner from the rear could not be controlled.
It is not enough to put all your strength into crossing the river slowly, but there are people who try to jump on the river bed in a hurry, but lose their balance, fall down, and are swept away.
The Grand Duke watched this and sighed.
“Release the fierce battle against those who disturb order! If you want to save even one more person, you must retreat while maintaining order at all costs. “Only then can we protect our territory!”
When the staff heard the order to disband the single-handed squad, they initially thought that this was not a good idea.
But in fact, when you judge it calmly, isn’t the important thing now to maintain order at all costs to save at least one more person and send them back to their home country?
For his sake, no one was reluctant to abandon the conscience they had already abandoned in Bastion anyway.
“Yes, Your Highness. “I will solve the problem of self-destruction.”
Although the Archduke’s order was quickly accepted, his insides were burning.
“Ha, he looks like f*cking Peter Yeager. “One day, I will rip out its intestines and eat it.”
Soon, as ordered by the Archduke, a lone squadron appeared, armed with swords and other weapons, to slaughter those who retreated.
However, since the opponent was an ally, the killing did not begin immediately.
“I give you one last warning. Grab your spear now and fight the Reich Imperial Army approaching in front of you. Then, by order of His Majesty the Merciful Archduke of Warsaw, your life will be spared.”
In normal times, it was possible to restore order to the soldiers even if their morale had fallen to the ground with just one word from the single-minded squad.
But right now, we are in such a corner that it cannot be considered a normal situation.
“Get out of the way, you f*cking idiots! Are you dealing with Peter Yeager then?”
“Can’t you see the Reich guys are crazy!”
“Please get out of the way! “We want to live too!”
After hearing their words, the commander in charge of the unit made up his mind.
Then, as ordered, he pulled out his sword to kill them.
“All those coming towards us are enemies, regardless of whether they are Allied Forces or Imperial Forces.”
When he coldly declared, those belonging to the independent squad immediately pulled out their swords and brutally killed their allies.
Whether they prayed for their lives or resisted in their own way, they all left this world equally.
In this way, the Allied Forces are somehow maintaining the front line while cutting down hundreds of our troops.
Meanwhile, the wizards who had come up the river by order of Peter Yeager were chanting magic.
“You, lightning, who enrich the earth and carry out heaven’s punishment…”
“I will carry out the anger that burns everything on the earth with the power of striking down.”
“Let the wrath of God fall on fools.”
In normal times, it is common to chant as briefly as possible and activate it quickly, but now they are lengthening their chants and combining magical power in platoon units.
The reason was simple. The purpose was to pour a little more powerful lightning into the river.
“Never lose focus! If even one person loses their magic, you all die!”
“I will rest immediately after casting the spell.”
“This is Marshal Jaeger’s plan to personally kill the bastards who invaded our land! “Don’t doubt and gather your magic power!”
The commanders of the newly joined wizard unit had deep doubts about the idea of gathering and completing magic in platoons, which were originally supposed to be cast by individuals.
No matter how much they said they knew more about magic than Peter Yeager, they could not dare to object to the fact that it boasted the dignity of 5 stars and already had a successful precedent.
Therefore, they also feel anxious and urge the wizards.
And when about a minute had passed, the observers who were sending signals to the wizards contacted them.
Waving the blue flag three times.
It was a signal that countless Allied soldiers were crossing the Palatinate River while submerging themselves in the water.
“Shoot lightning into the river!”
According to the command, the wizards gathered their magic power in platoon units and poured powerful magic into the river.
Up close, the lightning struck the Palatinate River with a blinding light that was so dazzling that you thought you were going blind for a moment, and a thunderous sound that shook your eardrums.
Although it is capable of great power, it was a magic that allowed several magicians to combine their magical powers at the same time, which had been taboo in the empire until now.
A disaster occurred where some of the wizards who casted this collapsed or died from exhaustion as a side effect.
“Damn it, why is this so difficult and dangerous!”
“Damn, this isn’t right…”
“Shut up, damn it. In Bastion Castle, the death rate is estimated at 60% so far. If you use magic and are unlucky, one or two people will die!”
At this time, a catastrophe occurred to those crossing the river.
