I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 165

EP.165

The day after our 7th Division entered Castle Dolfino, a large army led by the Duke of Switzerland arrived right in front of the castle.

I must say that the speed with which they chased us was truly astonishing.

That’s because the soldiers of the 7th Division that I lead all rode from Richen Hill to Castle Dolfino on horses, even if they were carrying luggage or pulling a carriage.

The Duke of Switzerland would not have been able to afford to put soldiers on horses like we did, so considering that they came here only on foot… It

is difficult to put into words their hardships, but when they finally caught up with them, they looked like dogs chasing a chicken that had climbed onto the roof. This is what happened.

The imperial soldiers taunted on the walls so loudly that they could be heard even in the general’s quarters where I was staying.

“Look at the Swiss bandits! Are you pissed? It’s unfair, right? But I can’t do anything!?”

“It was a lot of trouble to jump here with both feet. “Eat this and go back!”

“Oh my. How do you feel about pity? It’s so pitiful that I’m crying a lot. “It’s so tearful!”

They look so happy that it’s hard to believe that our Reich Imperial Army was being attacked by them just a few days ago.

Moreover, there are about 60,000 imperial troops stationed around this castle to repel them, so no matter how much the Duke of Switzerland grinds his teeth, he cannot even dare to attack.

So, even if you can’t take this opportunity to attack them directly and take revenge, you can at least verbally curse them to the point that their blood pressure rises to the point of death.

Now that I’m feeling better, I wanted to completely break their morale by showing my face and swearing at them to make them more miserable, so I put on my armor and tried to go out.

“Charlotte, help me put on the armor. I’m thinking of going up on the castle wall and making a little fun of the Swiss army. “I won’t do anything dangerous, so you don’t have to worry.”

She stayed next to me and continued to nurse me, and she said with a bewildered expression on her face.

“Yesterday, the priest said this while using the healing method. ‘I absolutely need stability for a month. Please, at least for now, lie quietly in bed. “What are you going to do if you get sick?”

“No, I overdid it a bit, but it’s okay now. “There are no cuts or stab wounds like other soldiers.”

“Instead, you worked so hard that you became so thin that your cheeks were sunken. Moreover, perhaps due to physical exhaustion, my whole body feels hot like fire. And yesterday, when you were lying down, His Highness came to you and said, ‘If Director Jaeger tries to do something unreasonable, be sure to stop him no matter what.’ He commanded. “Lieutenant Colonel Kergit will be here in a little while…”

From the time we first met until we got married, Laura seemed like a blunt but loyal and capable secretary on the outside.

From the time I started to overexert myself during the Battle of Richen Hill, Charlotte sometimes acted like my mother and took care of me.

Like now, I can try to stop him from overdoing it under the pretext of His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders, or I can at least wipe away the sweat from my body.

He sits next to me and if he sees me sweating, he wipes me off without me telling him to.

There’s nothing bad about me because he really takes care of me, but it’s a bit burdensome in many ways for a girl who’s naturally pretty to take care of me this much.

“So, sleep comfortably. The lieutenant colonel will be here in a little while. Let’s take a break and talk. Also, if the master goes out to encourage the soldiers, the other people in the 7th Division will be very worried…”

After hearing that, I decided not to think about going out anymore.

Because right now, Charlotte looks like she’s about to cry because she’s worried that if I overexert myself, my physical condition will worsen.

“I understand. I’ll be resting well. Now go out and get some rest. “I may have overexerted myself, but Charlotte, you also overexerted yourself while coming all the way from Richen Hill.”

Although Charlotte was now doing her best to take care of me, it must have been very difficult for her, who had no military training, to follow me on a week-long flight from the Richen Hill.

Without exaggerating, it would have consumed more stamina than running a 20km marathon every day for 7 days.

I think she, like me, wants to lie down in bed and rest well.

“What if I collapse while taking care of myself? So go to another room and get some rest.”

Then Charlotte shook her head and pointed to the small bed in the corner of my room.

“I will rest in this room. Please sleep first, master. Then I’ll go take a rest too.”

Then he wiped the sweat from my forehead with a wet towel.

Even since I married Laura, I have never received such thorough nursing care…

As I was lost in thought, the door opened and Anya came in with porridge and a spoon.

She naturally sat down on the chair to the right of my bed, lifted my body up and said,

“This is a porridge made with flour, cheese, and meat at the request of the cooks in the castle. If you eat this, you will feel better. So please eat it all and don’t leave anything behind.”

I don’t know what blessings I may have accumulated in my past life, but I have a pretty wife like Laura in the system.

I don’t know why I receive such great care from Anya and Charlotte, but I am truly grateful.

If it weren’t for those two, there’s a very high probability that I would have died on Richen Hill or died from low stamina as soon as I returned.

So I couldn’t tell them to go now.

“If you have trouble holding a spoon, it’s okay if I feed you…”

After saying that, Anya held up a spoon to serve the porridge in front of me.

He said he was going to do it himself, but his face was red as if he was embarrassed.

So I was just going to tell him to leave it alone because I would eat it.

With a knock on the door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in with a big smile on his face.

“Haha, I heard you just woke up. “Yes, body…”

However, His Royal Highness looked embarrassed when he saw me between two women.

If I had gone to Lieutenant Colonel Werner’s or another subordinate’s house and found myself in a similar situation, I would have been just as surprised as you.

Moreover, right now, on my left, Charlotte is wiping off my sweat with a wet towel, and on my right, Anya is wearing an Imperial Army uniform and trying to serve me porridge. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

In addition, Colonel Anya and Charlotte have been ordered to focus on my care and physical condition, but isn’t this a battlefield anyway?

“Anyway, thanks to the 7th Division led by you on Richen Hill, many Imperial soldiers, including me, were able to return to this country. “Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.”

“I just did what I had to do, Your Highness.”

“If someone who has achieved a miracle that no one else can do says that, they will be punished. “And you are the savior of my life and the hero who saved the empire from danger.”

After saying that, His Royal Highness placed his hands on the shoulders of the two people next to me and patted them.

I don’t know if it was true, but Charlotte was at a loss as she didn’t know what kind of expression to make, as if she was very grateful for the crown prince’s encouragement, but also felt burdened.

His Majesty spoke as if he did not care about such things.

“It’s scary to think what would have happened to Director Yeager here without you guys. I will personally reward you for your trouble later. thank you so much.”

When you become a member of the imperial family, even an emperor or crown prince, you rarely say thank you.

Because the political impact caused by that single word is enormous.

In fact, there is even a joke among the imperial nobility that if the emperor or crown prince just says a word of gratitude, a baronial family will sprout from the ground.

And Anya and Charlotte will receive a huge amount of gratitude after the contest is over.

“However, please understand that I would like to borrow Director Jaeger for now. “I won’t hold you back too long, so please come and eat.”

At the same time as those words were said, the two people left my room and His Highness the Crown Prince stopped me from getting up and said,

“There is no need to go out of your way to show respect to someone who is sick. What I came to today was none other than to ask how to end this war. “Before that, I need to tell you this news.”

“What happened to Laura?”

“I heard you gave birth to a healthy son. And I have already given you a good name and sent it to your wife in Reichburg. ‘Friedrich’ Yes. Friedrich von Jaeger. You don’t often use your phone when calling yourself by name, but isn’t your son a true noble of the empire in name and reality? How do you like it?”

I don’t know why, but it’s a name that reminds me of a potato king from the Earth where I used to live.

He was a master general who continued to fight wars for Prussia and was famous as a great general.

A rare and famous soldier who laid the foundation of the German Empire.

“Yes, I really like it. “I don’t know why, but it’s a name that makes me think he will become a master who surpasses me.”

“A master who surpasses you? Okay, I’ll pass that on to your wife in the next report. “If he grows up according to the name I gave him, he will become a great general whose name will be engraved in the history of the empire, so please raise him well.”
