chapter 41
41 – Push the end of the offensive
Commander of Jerez of the 9th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army. Just a few days ago, he had barely managed to defend against Königssen’s devastating blow, and was breathing heavily.
He was also a person who thought about Königssen’s weakening, knowingly or unknowingly.
It is not that he was ignorant of war. Rather, Jerez was a veteran of veterans.
Nevertheless, the reason I thought that way was because Königsen had been beaten by the empire that much.
It was a story decades ago that Königssen pushed the empire with an overwhelming offensive.
Their offensive has all been futile since Marshal Joseph Reinhardt stepped forward.
Since then, Commander-in-Chief William and his subordinates, who took over the position, gradually turned the tide of battle, and in recent years, the Empire has switched to an offensive, constantly knocking on Königssen.
Despite this, overestimating Königsen is something only those who are tired of defeatism would do.
I’m not completely broke yet, but I’ve lost quite a bit of stake.
If you don’t want to disgrace your family, now is the time to gather up what’s left and discuss the future.
‘I thought. It was stupid. No, I only thought of it based on our standards.’
The military, no. More than everyone in the Empire expected, Königssen was a proper madman.
“Sold money? Future? Huh. f*ck you. We either eat it all or lose it all.”
Königssen mobilized all their capabilities. It turned out that all the silence had been for this very moment.
The skilled soldiers and wizards he has cherished and treasured, the enormous supply items and the funds that accompany them. They literally poured their all into a single blow.
If you think about it rationally, this is really nonsense.
What are you pushing like this? Will the Empire fail to stop this offensive and surrender all its institutions? Or do you think it’s impossible anymore and surrender?
You are welcome. The empire is also in the beginning, huh? I’ll be pushed back, and then there’s no question.
A certain amount of territory will be given away and the front line will be lowered, but that is all. From the moment they reach the end of the offensive, they will have to worry about whether they will be pushed out.
Anyway, Königsen launched an attack and achieved quite a few results.
The fact that the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces immediately sent such an order was enough to let us know that it was a crisis.
“They lost their temper. So be careful not to get swept up in its madness.”
Insanity. Yes, could there be a better word to describe this situation than that?
To think that even if he won, he would put all his energy into a strategy that would make it even better if he lost. Crazy chicks.
However, the force was so great that the Imperials had to constantly fall back.
By the way—
“Commander. This is a report from the front. They say their offensive suddenly weakened noticeably.”
“… The offensive has weakened?”
My first thought was maybe they were cheating.
Otherwise, it could be that they are trying to target the rear of their allies by turning some of their troops around.
But the numbers in that case soon faded from his mind.
‘The second line of defense is still in good shape to target the rear. And they’re not so laid-back as to cheat with numbers.’
There is something called jjambab. In Jerez’s view, Königsen had reached his limit.
The offense is still fierce, but there is no backlash. The moment it twists even a little, it collapses as it is.
So you’re supposed to have a near-perfect operation of your troops, but you’re saying that you’re taking out those troops recklessly?
When he reached that point, he was able to infer a fact intuitively.
‘There is a problem. It’s a problem to the point where we have to urgently withdraw troops from the front.’
Königssen is a mad dog. She drools yellow saliva and tries to bite the empire.
It is foolish to fight against that mad dog by biting and biting together. You have to wait until you’re exhausted, then tie your limbs at once and throw them into the fire.
But? What if that mad dog suddenly got hit somewhere and came back to his senses?
If he knows what situation he is in and is looking around, then he can walk up to him and kick him without a problem.
Jerez immediately summoned all of the staff of the division, including his chief of staff.
“Which side is currently preparing for a counterattack from our rear?”
“I know them as the 1st Cavalry Division. The reserve is the 24th Infantry Division….”
“Tell all the reserve units to come up right now. And I contacted the 1st Cavalry Division and said that the time for revenge is not far.”
“Division commander? What is that all of a sudden….”
Something must have gone wrong with their plans. You cannot miss this great opportunity.
Jerez conveyed his opinions to his staff and had them share this information with their divisions as well.
I’m sure. Beyond them, somewhere on the front lines we couldn’t hold. Our allies remain and hinder their offensive. No, it goes beyond the level of obstruction and smashes the pillar.
The powerful Königssen was hit in the stomach and staggered for a moment, to the point that he had to withdraw his troops in a hurry.
‘I don’t know who he is, but if he comes back alive, he’ll be the next war hero.’
Jerez thought so, and he had no doubt that the time for a great counterattack would return sooner or later.

“Yaaa!! Reinhardt’s Lich is here!”
“Get it!”
Today too, being chased by sasaeng fans during the day is a daily routine. If you get caught, you really get f*cked.
“Leehi! Some of the remnants of the 93rd Infantry Regiment joined a little while ago. The number is approximately… About 200 people?”
“Platoon commander. Part of the 173rd Engineer Battalion made it this far. Shall I wait?”
“The existing warhorses of our regiment are at the limit of battle, Lihi. We need another alternative.”
“As the number of troops increases, the use of drinking water is increasing, but it is dangerous at this rate. Hurry….”
And at night, f*ck. There was something more terrible than being chased by sasaeng fans.
It’s nice to win, and it’s nice to see the remnants gather little by little.
I had to deal with all the problems that arose.
“f*ck! Shivaaal!—”
I think I know why people of high rank lived with cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee in their mouths.
I can’t stand this terrible intensity of work without caffeine, alcohol and nicotine.
Swearing comes out of nowhere. Hmmm, I’m going crazy. Sober, how the hell are you doing this?
“Eomsal is. And you are doing well.”
Ar, who was helping me with my work, giggles and rubs my shoulders.
Uh, yes. There. Just a little bit harder on that part- keuaaah!! I’m going to live now After overdoing it for the past few days, I almost died because my shoulders turned to stone. Thanks, Ar! I live thanks to you!
“Leehi. Then I’ll go back to the manned mission….”
“Absolutely not.”
This woman, could it be that she approached for that? She used these mean tricks.
At least, without even realizing it, I said, “Yeah. Do what you want!’ I almost said.
“Oh, why. I mean, I’m really fine now.”
“You may be fine, but other people are not. Sorry. That story is over. No more.”
She managed to get Ars out and after she returned to the camp, she gave a posthumous review.
Through her knights and commanders under her command, she sought to find out what was the matter.
And among the many opinions, there was one thing in common—
“Königsen’s eyes went crazy that he had a woman.”
“I was told that all I had to do was keep the daughter of a high-ranking nobleman alive, so he went crazy.”
The horned bastards. No, no matter how it is, isn’t there a line that needs to be followed?
Why do you follow the minimum ethics during the war? To talk about our moral superiority? f*ck.
On the contrary, when this side strikes at such a moment, it is to put the minimum shield.
Did you guys start doing that first? Then we do too. Be prepared If it goes on like this, both sides are just f*cking screwed up. Then the already difficult war becomes even more difficult.
That’s what ethics are for. You don’t do it, neither do we. It’s an implicit promise.
But Königsen’s puppies, it’s as if there’s no turning back, they’ve even crossed that line.
They have no answers. So, he must have been beaten up by his grandfather.
Anyway, for that reason, Ar was excluded from the manned mission.
It’s the reason why the enemies are f*cking crazy, but I can’t add it to the mission anymore.
Even if she’s okay, she can’t help it when she thinks of the soldiers she’s going to train with.
“… I am also a person who dreams of writing an article. If you don’t go to the battlefield, it’s a bit like that.”
“What you are doing is enough, Ar. You are doing your part well enough with that alone.”
To be honest, Ar is more capable in this kind of work like me than an engineer.
Especially when it comes to dealing with people, he has a natural talent.
It is clear that she will want to be friendly with anyone if you have a little chat with her.
Right now, those stiff noncommissioned officers are getting along very well with Ar.
A knight and an officer, even though the relationship is a bit ambiguous. Or even though there are classes such as the great nobility and commoners. At this level, the place where Ar should really be is the law.
“Let me be cool, Ar. You are the kind of person who should do something similar to me rather than a knight.”
“I know you mean it well, but as an aspiring knight, it hurts.”
“Sorry. But I want you to think positively.”
At my sincere suggestion, Ardo nodded, saying that he would consider it after all.

3 Weeks. It has been three weeks since the start of the Königssen offensive.
Now it’s time for Erwin to see her influence in ruining their plans.
By now, our allies will notice something strange and prepare for a counterattack.
“Leehi. I think it will be really hard this time.”
The problem was, that meant that we were also subjected to more intense attacks from the enemy.
