408 – Siege of Polska (4)
When Peter Jaeger climbed the castle wall, everyone’s attention was focused on it.
He had recently become accustomed to fighting in the vanguard, including Bastion, and stood on the battlefield holding his sword as if it was no big deal.
Both the armies of the Reich Empire and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw were shocked by the fact that the enemy of a country was on the front line.
The imperial soldiers cheered with joy and hope.
“Marshal Jaeger himself stood at the forefront! We won! “We already won!”
“Don’t let your guard down yet! The war does not end just because the Marshal is at the forefront. “Be more nervous!”
“Fight at the risk of your life so as not to fall behind the enemy!”
On the other hand, the morale of the Grand Duchy’s army, which was already very low, broke through the ground and fell underground.
“……Peter, why is Peter Yeager there?”
“That damn bastard was hell-bent on killing us. If you don’t kill us, are you going to kill us? “Why all the fuss!”
“A bloodthirsty devil, a dirty slave of Satan.”
Amid completely conflicting reactions, Peter Yeager pulled out his sword without saying anything.
My nerves reacted sharply to the sound of sharp metal scraping.
“……Whether you block my way or not, it’s up to you. “I order the entire army to annihilate the dirty and ugly Warsaw bastards on this castle.”
An extremely dry order with no words or actions to raise the morale of allies.
It was an instruction that violated the formula that states that when standing at the forefront as an officer, you must boost the morale of the soldiers following you.
Peter Yeager had no need for such pretentious words just now.
Every single move he made during this war proved his sincerity and ability as a commander of the highest rank, and everyone, both officers and soldiers, sincerely believed in and followed him.
“Long live the Reich Empire! “Exterminate every single one of them!”
“Deus Bolt! God willing! “God’s will be done!”
“Bastion, let’s go in to make Bastion!”
Marshal Jaeger felt everyone’s reactions with the nerves of his entire body aroused by the explosion of adrenaline.
Feeling a thrill from their cheers and support, which was not unreasonable even if they were almost blind, I held a sword in both hands and dug into the enemy army.
“It’s coming, it’s coming!”
The Warsaw soldiers took up arms and tried to keep Peter Jaeger in check in order to somehow kill him.
However, contrary to what I thought, I had to feel my knees shaking and my legs losing strength.
When they saw Peter Yeager, they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming force coming from him, and they felt fear and intimidation, as if they were dealing with a huge bear that they couldn’t even stand up to.
“Uh, uhh…”
“Hey, is that a person? “Are you a person?”
“Surely what you see in front of you is a person? “Why does my body naturally start shaking…”
When the Warsaw soldiers were terrified, Peter Jaeger once again tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
He blew off the heads of three soldiers who were standing there in a daze with one blow.
It was a sword play that was like a feat that only a sword master who had been fighting for decades in the war could perform.
Everyone was astonished by the sight that unfolded before their eyes for the first time.
After a while, the imperial soldiers all cheered at the incredible swordsmanship shown by Jaeger.
“Long live the Marshal! Long live the Reich Reich!”
“Let’s kill all the evil Warsaw bastards! “The enemy stands before us!”
“Run so you don’t fall behind! “Don’t show your enemies shame!”
The morale of the Imperial soldiers at Polsky Castle was sky-high, and the Allied soldiers could not keep their mouths open.
‘What on earth is this bastard named Peter Yeager doing that makes him fight so well?’
In order to overcome this situation, among the young officers in Warsaw, several of them who were renowned for their skill with the sword stepped forward holding two-handed swords like Jaegers.
“Captain Winter von Smirnoff, successor to the Count Smirnoff family of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, will stop your atrocities! Die, Peter Yeager!”
“Lieutenant Andrei von Winterheim, this is the name of the man who beheaded you!”
“Accept the ancient will handed down from the Alexiev family!”
When names are mentioned like that, the unspoken rule is that they usually come out one at a time.
However, the value of the name Peter Jaeger was already higher than that of the monarchs of most countries on the continent of Europa.
His martial arts skills were considered a walking disaster among those who knew a little about swords, so several people attacked him at once, thinking that it was okay to be cowardly and abandon the rules that apply at the human level.
Seeing the Warsaw officers courageously stepping forward, the Warsaw soldiers looked forward with vain hope that even Peter Jaeger would not be able to defeat the young officers who could use swords in droves.
“f*ck you, cut the Jaeger bastard into pieces!”
“If we just kill that guy, the Grand Duchy can survive!”
“Deus, protect us!”
All of the Warsaw soldiers sincerely prayed that Peter Jaeger would die by the hands of one of them.
Despite that situation, the soldiers of the Bastion Division were not worried about anyone and had no intention of raising their hands to help.
They just look with bright eyes in anticipation of what kind of performance the commander they respect and follow will do.
It was a situation where anyone would say that the commander was under heavy attack and his subordinates were crazy.
Marshal Jaeger laughed as he watched the swords of the young officers, who were proud of their own skills, charging at him.
“This old man killed Khan when he was your age, and his sword skills are beyond compare! Are you really saying that there is no one in Warsaw who knows how to hold a sword properly?”
After making such a threat, Peter Yeager lowered his posture and effortlessly dodged all of their strikes.
Then, with the sword in his hand, he cut and stabbed the vital points, such as the neck, between the armpits, and between the crotch, of the guys running in front of him.
The fast movement was difficult for the eye to follow, taking only about 10 seconds.
The four officers who ran towards him with great enthusiasm instantly turned into cold corpses.
“…… It’s pathetic. Using my sword with such poor skill, the head of your Grand Duke of Warsaw was cut off by my sword. “How is it that there is no one who is half as good as Director Landel, or even worthy of comparison?”
Then Jaeger let go of all human emotions, such as anger, excitement, and guilt, and moved forward as if he were a weapon for murder.
Cutting down the soldiers in front of me.

Warsaw soldiers and officers were frightened and afraid at that sight.
“A monster, a monster! “That’s not a person!”
“People’s lives… ㄹ…”
“Send reinforcements, send reinforcements! “There’s no way I can beat that by any means!”
The walls that had become battlefields were filled with the blood and flesh shed by Warsaw soldiers and Imperial soldiers, and the urine shed by frightened weaklings who had not yet been hit by the sword.
Peter Yeager muttered on the bloody battlefield.
“One by one, one by one… I will kill every single one of them. “For the well-being of the Reich Empire.”
Revenge for the terrible things he experienced at Bastion Castle. He will probably retire after this war, and he hopes that the stability of the empire will continue even after that.
Deciding on two things: revenge and laying the foundation for the future, he became the Black Reaper who dominates war.
Every time the sword he swung flashed silver in the sunlight, the fearful soul of the enemy was called to Deus.
On the other hand, Senior Captain Karl von Dönitz, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force who was in command while watching the scene, opened his mouth wide open.
“……Is that something a person can do?”
Laura, who played the role of his deputy, answered.
“Isn’t this what the enemy is doing?”
“…Your husband is so great that your eyes are so high.”
“In training at the General Staff College, we refer to and study the strategies implemented by Marshal Jaeger, but don’t they tell us not to try to imitate his way of fighting? “The Marshal’s fighting ability is beyond comprehension.”
Senior Captain Tsu nodded his head at those words.
“… A person like that is saying he will retire after this war is over… It is truly a big loss for the empire.”
“It must have been a decision made with Your Majesty in mind.”
Peter Yeager’s position is already absolute in the military.
If anything, the Chief of Staff would say that if Peter Yeager pulls out his sword and attempts a rebellion, there is a greater than 80% chance that the coup will succeed and the royal family will be replaced.
“And you and Lieutenant General Kergit are also retiring? Wow, I’m jealous. My son is your age, and he’s just taking his promotion review to colonel. You’re not a lieutenant general, but you’ll be a captain after the ceremony. “He retired with honors and honors.”
“Actually, I want to do more military service.”
Laura sincerely wants to stay in the military.
‘I want to show my father that I’m doing well…’
Doenitz lowered his baton.
“Lieutenant General Laura, mobilize three divisions from the 1st Army Group to support Marshal Jaeger’s rear. Even if the Bastion Division can withstand it, it’s too dangerous if the time goes on.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Laura immediately picked up her sword and mobilized three divisions to support Peter Yeager.
Doenitz looked at that and muttered.
“…… It is said that a flower is only beautiful if you know when it falls. I can’t believe someone like Marshal Jaeger decided to retire at the age of only 40. “Those words applied directly to the enemy.”
And he immediately gave the following command:
“Use siege weapons and wizards to launch indiscriminate attacks inside the castle walls. According to Marshal Jaeger’s orders, we will kill everyone, leaving no civilians or soldiers behind.”
