Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

39 – Push the end point of the offensive

Königsen’s 7th Guards Infantry Division crossed the front and began its advance into Imperial territory.

So the vacant space was supposed to be filled by the Barmen Reserve Division in the rear–

“This is information that cannot be ignored, Commander!”

“That goddamn Willie’s son. You must catch it!”

“It’s not just hostages. The Empire’s proud lineage of war heroes can also show signs of being no big deal. Our Barmen Reserve Division will do just that!”

Staff belonging to the reserve division express their opinions by spitting out all sorts of insults.

Originally, most of the time we fight because we disagree with each other in a place like this.

Some people are in favor, some people are against it, and some people step back to see the situation for now.

But not this time. Everyone actively insisted on the offensive.

And the commander of the reserve division was also agonizing over and over again.

‘The order we received is to support the back of the 7th Guards Infantry Division and move to the front as well.’

This is an attack command. It is the superior’s will to get on the offensive and either push or pull.

We should not even give the empire time to prepare by pushing the front line like this.

The plan is to switch to defense after attacking until they stop….

‘I couldn’t believe the son of the commander-in-chief of the allied forces was here.’

William Reinhardt of Kenneth. Imperial Field Marshal, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.

His son, Douglas Reinhardt, is a monster who has already swept the battlefield many times.

Fortunately, this time I was able to move somewhat comfortably because I had broken his vanguard.

But besides Douglas, it is said that the commander-in-chief’s second son was also at the front.

According to our prisoners who even managed to escape, they haven’t retreated yet and are hiding with the remnants of their forces somewhere around here!

“And! There’s one more! The daughter of the Imperial Duke is also said to be with them! We heard them whispering!”

The commander-in-chief’s son, the duke’s daughter. Even if only one is captured, there are two of them with the highest hostage value.

I wonder why the two of them are here on the front line, but after examining the enemy prisoners taken over from the forward units, it doesn’t make much sense.

Among imperial aristocrats who dream of becoming officers, they stay in the unit for about a month to gain field experience.

But what if they attacked and failed to retreat at that timing? It’s quite possible!

If this is true, you must catch it. It must be captured unconditionally. At least you have to take care of the body.

It is said that there is an order received, but if the general command finds out about this, it is clear that the order will be corrected immediately.

Immediately move the troops away from the front line, eliminate the remaining troops and capture the main characters.

This is an opportunity to give both Reinhardt and Jeonseonggong, who inflicted the most damage on their country, one shot.

The opportunity to heal the pride that has been scarred by various defeats has finally arrived.

“… Gentlemen. You should be aware that it could be a trap by the enemy.”

For now, calm down your excitement. Calmly examine the situation and examine the range of options in more detail.

Running like a mad dog here is a sewage thing to do. This is an extremely stupid move.

Would the enemy manage such important information carelessly, just because they were crazy?

Why was this important information provided through friendly prisoners?

Is there any chance that the news was leaked intentionally rather than by accident?

The division commander tried to point out that part while calming his excitement.

The staff also tried to assume the worst while drool.

However, things took an increasingly strange turn.

“Commander. The enemy raid took a toll on the rear units.”

“Again? Damn, these!”

“Report from scouts. Those who appear to be the remnants of the enemy are targeting our supply bases.”

“You really bother me so filthy!”

If this continues, it will be annoying not only for themselves, but also for the units that advanced first.

I pushed away the imperial army at best, but what kind of strange remnants remained, so what the hell?

When this happened, not only the staff but also the division commander gradually focused their attention on this place.

If you think about it, the final order they were given was ‘to push the offensive as much as possible before the Empire’s defense capabilities are equipped, and to separate them from the front line.’

In that sense, rear stability is also very important. You have to catch these annoying flies.

‘It is against the order right now, but it is necessary in the broader sense. The General Command will agree.’

A very logical judgment that rear safety should be a must.

The fact that the front troops are pushing well anyway, so there is a little bit of room.

And the most decisive part is, of course, ‘major’.

‘If you catch it, it’s as good as fighting on the front line, or maybe even more.’

‘It’s a promotion. We’ll make a bigger contribution than those who fought bloody.’

‘He is the son of the enemy commander-in-chief. She is the daughter of a duke What treasure is greater than this?’

I am greedy. It’s not normal, it’s a very big greed.

If you succeed in being captured, you will be promoted unconditionally. You will receive a huge reward.

By the way, are you going to hand this over and hand it over to the second team? Are you crazy?

There has been no request for support from the frontline yet. If so, that means you can afford it.

On the contrary, the enemy left here is at most a handful of remnants.

It won’t take long. If this huge number makes up its mind and pushes through, it will be soon.

It is a floating table for eating. The menu was too good to refuse.

To the point of ignoring it and passing it by, people roll their eyes at the thought of eating it.

In the end, they made a choice. From their point of view, in a direction that they believe is extremely rational.

“I order the entire division. We slow down our advance and aim for the remnants of the enemy who are here.”

The greedy pursuit of those who want to make a mark has begun.

Pureuk! Purruk!

Run, lightning. Run! If caught, this master will die! aaagh!

Look at the Koenies chasing after you from behind saying, ‘Get him!’

It’s like watching zombies whose eyes are gone from starvation for a month.

“Get it! Grab it unconditionally!!”

“They said they would give you a wagon full of pockets full of gold coins if you catch that guy!”

“We must catch it unconditionally! Die and run!”

Crazies! To pay that much money to an aristocrat who is only an adult now!

Someone is ranked because of the high bounty, but I have no intention of doing that!

Using Ar and I as bait, we hold on to the second team and take all our nerves.

In the meantime, Erwin beats all over the place and forces them to bleed.

As a result, it creates a vacuum and hinders future operations.

This is a rough sketch of the decoy operation I put together with Erwin.

So, from now on, we have to go to the forefront in earnest—

“Ugh!”

Königssen These crazy bastards. As if they were a bear looking for honey, they began to follow.

Wouldn’t it be a trap just yesterday? They were the ones who were nervous and chasing after them.

However, I am pursuing it in earnest from today to see what kind of change of heart it is.

Thanks to that, I almost got caught while slowly adding the medicine. Damn it

“This way! You can follow me right away!”

The soldiers of the Imperial Army who were moving with me are driving their horses in perfect order.

If the distance is too close, the designated ones will turn around and charge at the enemy.

That’s how we used to bump into each other and rejoin the ranks….

‘f*ck. f*ck. sh*t.’

Every time I secretly look at the unit, the number of invisible people increases.

They were fighting the Königssen with me just a few minutes ago.

As the pursuit of them intensified, I went forward to shake it off, but I couldn’t come back.

“Platoon commander. Don’t take it too far in your heart.”

Perhaps he noticed my feelings, one of the noncommissioned officers spoke cautiously.

I know. There’s no way you’ll get better by thinking like this or having a mind.

It just complicates my head for no reason. And on the battlefield, the thoughtful are the first to die.

It is natural to lose people on the battlefield, and one day my job will be to write down the losses in documents and numbers.

If you don’t become calm, you won’t even dream of it. You have to adapt.

That’s why it’s even scarier. I hope someday I’ll get used to it. I’m afraid people’s lives will be judged only by numbers.

“I can’t see them. It seems like I barely got away with it.”

Purrule!

Soldiers and horses take a breath and look around.

In the meantime, I decided to accept the map and prepare for the next task.

“Erwin should be hitting the road here by now.”

“They’re not fools either, so they should be well-prepared, right?”

“It will be fine. He is none other than our company commander.”

If you doubt Erwin, who will you trust? His skills are currently the best in the Imperial Army.

Not only his older brother, but also his father will do his best to show such an overwhelming performance.

Nothing. Our Erwin is quite the main character. He’s getting a deceptive buff?

“We move slowly again. You have to go to this point and change the troops and change the horses. Is there still water left?”

“There is nothing to worry about as it can be moved. However….”

Why are you taking a break all of a sudden? Make people anxious. Let me tell you something.

“Actually, Lady Ariete… No, I haven’t been able to contact Ariete’s aide since a while ago. I can’t see any of the soldiers on that side….”

Hell itself, the battlefield. Again, nothing came loose.
