I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

Chapter 434

EP.434

When Division Commander Lafayette fell, there was a heavy silence in both the surrounding Reich Army and Francois Army.

As if the world had stopped, everyone stopped moving and looked blankly at the place where the division commander had fallen.

Even Friedrich Jaeger was so doubtful that he had really killed a two-star general that he was unable to make the declaration of subjugation he was supposed to shout when he subdued the enemy general.

However, no matter how incredible and surprising things happen in reality, a ‘dead person’ can never come back to life and the truth will always be revealed.

Francois officers and soldiers spoke first.

“Commander Lafayette? “The division commander was killed!”

“Nonsense. “It’s only been an hour since the war started, and the division commander has already been killed?”

“This is a fucking dream. “It can’t happen...”

However, since the dead division commander had become a corpse unable to even move a finger, everyone had no choice but to accept the reality.

Friedrich could not believe that he had defeated the enemy division commander on his first battlefield, so he stared blankly at the place where the enemy division commander lay dead.

The platoon members next to him grabbed his shoulders and shook him.

“Platoon commander, the enemy division commander has fallen over there. “You should quickly declare that you have killed the enemy division commander.”

“Let’s also take a look at the platoon leader.”

“Platoon leader, come to your senses!”

With those words, Frederick also fully recognized the fact that he had killed the enemy division commander.

He picked up the sword that had been placed on the ground and raised it high toward the sky. At the same time, a signal was sent to the platoon commander.

“Friedrich Jaeger, a minor prince of the Jaeger family and a lieutenant in the Reich Army, killed the enemy division commander Lafayette!”

At this time, all of the soldiers in the platoon truly realized that their platoon leader had killed the enemy’s ‘division commander’, and they all shouted hurray with red eyes.

“Long live Platoon Commander Jaeger!”

“Platoon Commander Friedrich personally defeated the enemy division commander!”

“Long live the platoon commander! Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”

The two platoon riders each waved the imperial flag and the flag symbolizing the Jaeger Duke family, and this news quickly spread to the surrounding imperial troops.

It was good news that Lieutenant Jaeger had opened a hole in the enemy lines, but killing the enemy division commander was an incomparably greater news.

This is because if the division commander dies, the entire division will be shaken, and if the gap is exploited, the enemy’s left wing can be completely destroyed.

From the officers’ mouths came grumbling sounds mixed with feelings of envy and despair.

“As expected, the Jaeger family receives the blessings of the war god. A second lieutenant performs a remarkable feat in a battle against hundreds of thousands of armies and goes on to subjugate a division commander? It’s crazy, it’s crazy.”

Those who had achieved liberation a long time ago were pure joy, saying that general standards should not be applied to those who were already part of the Jaeger family.

“Lieutenant Jaeger killed the enemy division commander? What are you doing? I muster up all the strength I had and charge forward! “Our battalion captures the enemy corps commander!”

On the other hand, the soldiers remembered the famous general who promised victory and the confidence to survive when the empire was in crisis or from any war.

But they probably didn’t think about it.

Peter Jaeger truly thought that Frederick, if given the opportunity, would achieve feats that surpassed his own and leave a mark as a far more capable general than himself.

I’m satisfied and happy with this, but I don’t think it’s surprising.

“Slowly withdraw the vanguard of the 3rd Corps, attach the 5th and 8th Corps behind it, and penetrate the enemy lines all at once. “Do your best not to lose this momentum that Ensign Jaeger has created.”

“Yes sir.”

“And order Captain Kergit to lead the knights and archers and march out. “If I were Commander Francois, I would order you to attack the flanks of the 3rd Corps.”

As soon as Jaeger’s order was delivered, Frederick was immediately sent to the rear.

“Our platoon can be more active...”

“It’s an order, Excellency the Marshal. “I know it’s disappointing, but on your first outing, you created a hole to destroy the enemy’s large army with just one platoon, and even captured the division commander. Why are you so regretful?”

“You have to live up to your father’s expectations.”

“Your Excellency is someone who can take on about 100 enemy soldiers by himself using only his own military power. You are a wonder beyond the realm of humans. So compare yourself to the average person.”

In that way, Friedrich was dragged to the rear by the regiment commander...

“Captain Kergit, Captain Kergit!”

Anastasia Kergit, who had now been recognized by Patton in the use of horse archers as well as archers, listened to those words.

“What’s going on? “Is this an order from His Excellency?”

“Yes that’s right. “His Excellency ordered us to lead the archers and knights to cover the flanks of our 3rd corps!”

“It’s the 3rd Corps. “What happened in the 3rd Corps?”

The messenger was excited when he heard that and responded with a red face.

“Lieutenant Friedrich Jaeger killed enemy division commander Lafayette. As a result, the situation of the war suddenly tilted towards the 3rd Corps...”

Anya smiled in vain after hearing those words.

“His Excellency, our Generalissimo, has a habit of saying that Frederick will be a better general than he is... In about 10 to 15 years, a half-baked person like me will just be buried.”

“Is that really possible?”

“Does His Excellency’s ridiculous martial arts skills make any sense? “I understand. We will go straight to cover the flanks of the 3rd Corps.”

Anastasia then looked at Viscount Andersen, who was wearing two stars, and said:

“The lives of our knights and archers depend on your performance. “I can trust you, right?”

“I will definitely repay Khan’s kindness.”

“Okay, let’s go.”
