419 – Géricault’s Wall (7)
Fighting with vigor, Laura and her subordinates from the division almost reached the castle gate, defeating all the weakly resisting Grand Duchy troops.
Warsaw soldiers were already fighting among themselves there, and Laura stopped for a moment to understand the situation. Then her deputy came up and asked.
“Lieutenant General, what should I do?”
“Isn’t the guy trying to open the castle gate an ally, and the one preventing him from opening the castle gate is an enemy?”
“Yes, I understand!”
As soon as the adjutant heard those words, he immediately drew his sword and took the lead.
“Shouldn’t our 16th Division be responsible for opening the castle gates? Everyone, charge forward!”
The adjutant led the soldiers and joined the spies in Warsaw who were struggling to open the walls.
“Deus gave us this castle, and we will open this gate!”
“Let’s go in to get ahead! Even if you just open the castle gate, you can reach the sergeant!”
“Let’s change the eight characters! That Warsaw spy over there, can you get out of the way? And then you suddenly die!”
Her spies, who noticed that the soldiers of the 16th Division led by Laura had joined, showed various reactions.
Some people clapped and rejoiced.
“f*ck, I’m alive now! I lived, damn it! Let’s go!”
The rational guy started looking through his cotton tablets that he had kept in his arms.
“This tile, this tile… I need this tile for me and my family to survive.”
All the spies thought this in their hearts.
‘He was good at selling the country. Even if everyone else dies, me and my family live!’
Laura gave orders while swinging her baton behind her.
“Those who have received a plaque from the Reich Empire must follow my orders! Open the gate! Open the gates and create a bridgehead for our troops to occupy Polsky Castle!”
The Warsaw soldiers who were resisting to protect the castle gates began to regret their choice as they watched what happened.
Why are you being so pointless? I have painful regrets about driving myself and my family to death while trying to protect something like loyalty.
“f*ck, if I had known this would happen, I should have abandoned His Highness and joined the imperial army early on!”
A sincere wish that even if one dies, one’s family can survive.
“I don’t mind dying, but please spare my wife and children. My wife is only 20 years old and pregnant! Help me!”
As a woman and mother who has had children, Laura was made to feel guilty when told that she was a pregnant woman, but she soon made up her mind and ordered:
“Deus told us to kill all the humans in this castle. So your wife and children will soon follow you. Don’t be so lonely. Anyone who shows unnecessary mercy will be severely executed according to the Imperial Military Code. Just move according to orders.”
Then she spoke to ease the guilt of the imperial soldiers and officers.
“If there is a burden of guilt to bear, all the commanders who gave orders will bear it.”
At the same time as those words were spoken, the spies who joined the imperial soldiers each brandished their weapons and slaughtered the enemy in front of them.
“Lieutenant General, we will open the gate!”
Then the spies and soldiers worked together to turn the handle and open the castle gate.
Laura received her division flag from her adjutant, held it high, and shouted.
“Lieutenant General Laura von Benner of the 1st Army Group of the Warsaw Expeditionary Force opened the gate! “Follow Deus’ orders, burn this castle, and exterminate every living thing within it!”
At those words, imperial soldiers flooded into the castle gate.
“Polsky Castle is ours! Long live the Reich Reich!”
“Kill everyone in the castle! Adult men, women, the elderly, and children must all be exterminated! “Kill everyone, regardless of whether they resist or not!”
“He told me to make an exception for the guy holding a wooden paddle with a red groove on it and his family!”
Warsaw soldiers fighting on the walls could not say anything when they saw the gates open.
All he did was shed tears, cover his mouth with both hands, and squeak.
One of the soldiers shouted in desperation.
“f*ck, we’re screwed! Deus has completely abandoned us!”
Fear and sadness spread like fire.
“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die, you damn platoon leader! “f*ck, if you told us to go out and fight, you shouldn’t have to tell us how to survive!”
“The castle gate has been breached! “Now a million troops are coming!”
“It’s all over now! “We are all dead now.”
When this happened, even the lower-ranking officers acknowledged that there was no solution and tried their best to survive.
“Step back! “I fall back to protect His Highness the Archduke!”
“No matter how many Reich bastards come, we must protect this position! “That way your family can survive!”
“If you don’t want to die under the strict military law, you will have to fight for your life here.”
Some shrewd officers gave orders to retreat under the pretext of protecting the Archduke, while the remaining stubborn ones somehow banded together and thought that what they should do was to hold on to their current positions.
We tried our best to hold on, but no matter how much we resisted, in the end we could not overcome their numbers and momentum, and the gates and walls were breached.
A unit led by Lieutenant General Anastasia also entered the castle through the wall opened by Laura.
“Lieutenant General Laura! You can’t fall behind Lieutenant General Laura! 13Th Legion Charge! Show the strength of the northern people. “Marshal Jaeger, this is your chance to return the favor, charge!”
As expected from a corps comprised of 90% northern ethnic groups, they all held northern cavalry swords in their hands.

They quickly dug into the castle.
“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live the enemy! “The time has come to repay the enemy’s kindness!”
“Kill all the evil Warsaw bastards!”
“It’s time to prove how strong the Northern cavalry is at Polsky Castle!”
Meanwhile, Laura moved out of his way, smiled triumphantly at Anya, and raised one corner of his mouth.
Then he whispered in a voice that only Anya could hear.
“No, Lieutenant General, after I return this time, I will have a second child with the Marshal…”
The two maintain a very good relationship privately, but it was a battle of how much of Marshal Jaeger’s night they could occupy depending on who was more active here.
Looking at her performance so far, Laura, who opened the gates of Polsky Castle, was overwhelmingly ahead, so Anya gritted her teeth.
“Our 16th Corps will do whatever it takes to capture the Archduke! “We can’t lose to the 13th Corps led by Lieutenant General Laura!”
Anya played a big role in this war and encouraged her soldiers to storm into Polsky Castle, intending to take over Jaeger for herself.
And Anya’s military power, who stood at the forefront and killed the enemy general, is still alive and well…
“Right there! “I will take your head, Lieutenant General Anastasia Kergit!”
Although Anya was a lieutenant general, she stood at the forefront and decapitated an enemy officer.
“I would rather die than show my enemy shame! Everyone charge forward!”
And at this time, Laura also left the castle gate and pointed her sword at the citizens around her.
“Surrender is not accepted. Everyone, follow orders!”
At the same time as those words were spoken, the imperial soldiers drew their swords and pointed them at the enemy.
“Deus wants it!”
Women and children begged for their lives, and old people desperately prayed for their grandchildren and granddaughters to be saved.
“We are not guilty. There is no sin. “I just did it because the Archduke told me to do it…”
“Please save only my cute grandson and granddaughter who won’t hurt even if I put them in my eyes. “This is the old man’s last wish…”
“I will do anything if you let me live.”
When they actually saw it, they were imperial soldiers who were determined to kill everyone before they crossed the castle wall, but they showed hesitation due to their conscience.
At this time, as ordered by Marshal Jaeger, Laura raised her sword without hesitation and slashed both the old man and the young child with one slash.
He was struck cleanly on the neck with consideration that was not minimal, thereby relieving as much pain as possible.
“Anyone who does not have a military badge, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians, must be massacred. This is Marshal Jaeger’s military order. His responsibility lies with him and with the commanders of our Reich Empire.”
With that order, the imperial army began a full-scale massacre of Warsaw citizens and soldiers at Polski Castle.
In the meantime, when those with the face shield discovered their families, they immediately broke away from the Reich Imperial Army and faced the Imperial Army soldiers to protect their families.
“Myeonsapae.”
At those words, those who had the cotton shaving pattern took it out from their clothes.
“Number 001401, myeonsapae.”
“Confirmed. You and your family must remain in hiding until the city is overrun. “Never lose your cotton pad.”
The soldiers and officers who saw the Myeonsa plaque spared them and then immediately attacked the house next door and killed everyone inside the house.
I didn’t want to do it, but it was something I had to do to protect the people of the empire and seek just revenge.
As Peter Yeager watched, he felt sorry and gave an order.
“Shoot four fireballs into the air. “We attack Polsky Castle and the palace.”
At the same time as that command, four fireballs were fired into the sky, and the Reich Imperial Army immediately began to flock towards the castle and the palace.
“The war with these damn Warsaw bastards will soon be over.”
