I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.241

“An order was given to turn them into hedgehogs! “Kill every one of them with an arrow!”

“Long live the great Reich Empire! Long live Kakan!”

“Let’s insert plenty of arrows!”

The northerners fighting on the deck shouted that and began firing more than a thousand arrows.

Every time you heard the sound of arrows and magic passing through the air, you could hear the deathly screams of people dying from both military camps.

“Keep shooting! “Kill at least one more guy!”

“Shoot that son of a bitch right in the eye. Make it one-eyed and send it to Deus!”

“Don’t hide behind your shield! “The ship is rocking anyway, so arrows fired by the enemy do not hit well!”

As we were exchanging arrows like that, the distance between us shortened to about 20 meters.

Then, the enemy battleships suddenly increased their speed and began to run towards the sides of our ships with the waves attached to their bows.

If you react incorrectly here, a hole may open in the side of the hull and the ship may sink. I was nervous inside because the environment was different from the command on land.

However, since there would be no end in sight if we just kept shooting arrows without approaching, I chose a more aggressive tactic instead of backing down.

“Order the oarsmen to row harder! Also, control the rudder and sails and turn about 10 degrees to the left! “If you don’t want to die, hurry!”

As soon as my order was given, the rowing speed of the Reich ships gradually increased.

In this way, our Imperial Army was slightly deviated from the direction from which the Warsaw guys were charging head-on, so they passed each other, and there was almost no conflict between them.

The enemy’s ambitious ramming attack was missed without causing much damage to our ships, and the soldiers of the Reich Empire all shouted hurray.

“It must have hurt your stomach a little because the attack you put all your might into was missed! Damn these guys look so good!”

“The teachers over there must be very disappointed, so give them one more arrow!”

The soldiers were sincerely happy that the enemy’s ill-intentioned attack missed and did not suffer any major damage.

In other words, the fact that the enemy’s attack missed means that the enemy and our battleship crossed paths and our ship was unable to inflict significant damage to the enemy.

Therefore, although the Warsaw men failed to attack, they loudly mocked their allies in relaxed voices.

“There are so many barbarian bastards who are no bigger than dogs that can even speak!”

“I’m sorry, you ran away like little pigs and hurried away.”

“Next time, I’ll make a big hole in your stomach, so you don’t have to be disappointed!”

In the first conflict, our Reich Imperial Army neutralized the enemy’s attack and ended it, achieving only one or two enemy ships.

It seems that the enemy suffered a similar level of damage as we did, so it cannot be said to be a loss, but as an organization with an important mission to plunder the Warsaw coast, we had to avoid further loss of power in the sea battle as much as possible.

“Delivery to the battleship. In this conflict, our troops do not use arrows or long-range weapons. Instead, when we pass by an enemy ship, we will attach the enemy ship to ours! Everyone grab the rope!”

At those words, all the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and grabbed a rope about three fingers thick.

If you do this, you will be defenseless to arrow attacks while the enemy approaches, but when you pass by, you will be able to pull the enemy with a rope with a hook.

When the enemy’s ship and our ship collide, it would be possible for the soldiers to pilot the enemy’s ship (cross over to the ship) and compete in one go.

“Spread your formation horizontally! Surround and attack enemies left and right! “Hurry up, row the oars, operate the rudder, and spread out your formation!”

According to my command, the oarsmen rowed their oars to death and formed a formation, and just like that, our battleships went out again to attack the enemy.

“This time, I’ll climb aboard those cute bastards and kill every single one of them!”

“They’re so cute, they’re so cute that you want to kill them all.”

“I will break your heads off with this ax that has been passed down from generation to generation from our ancestors! “Consider it an honor!”

The northern soldiers seemed to be resentful of not being able to achieve any significant results in their first attack, so they gritted their teeth and twirled the rope in the air, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Naturally, their faces showed no fear of being killed by an enemy arrow.

“If you don’t want to die, hide yourself in the shield installed next to the ship! “If you get hit by an arrow, that kid is an asshole!”

“Save yourself! Kakan does not want you to die on a battlefield like this!”

“Hold on just a little longer! An exciting battle against the enemies will soon take place!”

As the commanders’ orders rang out, I quickly took out my full-body shield and hid myself along with the soldiers.

Not long after that, thousands of arrows flew towards the battleship we were on, accompanied by cheers from the enemy.

Every time I heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind, I heard a groan from a soldier next to me or around me.

“Oh shit! “It hurts so bad!”

“My arm hurts so bad. Warsaw fucking bastards…”

“Orphans who were born alone in this world without a mother or father. “You shoot arrows like crap…”

While hearing those sounds, I took the best action I could and gave instructions to everyone.

“Don’t pull out arrows arbitrarily! If you pick it carelessly, it can end up costing you more! “Break the arrow shaft so you don’t have any difficulty moving!”

As I just said, pulling out an arrow carelessly is more dangerous than leaving it alone.

This is because there are many cases where arrows are not pulled out properly and parts of the arrow remain in the body and rot when pulled out without even the bare minimum of tools.

Therefore, it is much safer to pull it out all at once with the right tool after the battle is over.

Even as I say this, I wonder if the Warsaw idiots want to kill even one more of us.

Like a fool who only eats bread and shoots arrows, arrows were constantly flying towards us at an incredible speed and quantity.

And just like that, the gap between the enemy and our ship gradually began to get closer, until it reached a point where the voices of the Warsaw thieves could be heard vividly.

“Turn every single Reich bastard who tries to invade the territory of our Grand Duchy into fish food!”

“It’s time to show the hot taste of Warsaw men! “Don’t be afraid and fight!”

“Every arrow you fire saves the life of one of our allies! Even if it feels like your finger will be cut off, just shoot!”

As the distance between us and the enemy got closer, the number of our soldiers dying gradually began to increase.

For a moment, I felt impatient and wanted to get up right away and shoot arrows at them, but no. I still had to wait a little longer.

As I held on and suppressed my anger at being subjected to a one-sided attack for a little while longer, one of the soldiers shouted in a loud voice.

“5 meters distance between friendly and enemy ships! It’s about 5 meters away! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”

“Ready to throw the rope! “Assei spirit!”

“The time has come to fight like a man! Everyone, prepare for close combat at sea!”

At those words, the soldiers stood up and cheered along with the sound of arrows hitting their shields.

“Fight like a man! “Let’s kill those bastards who lack spirit and are flitting around like flies with arrows!”

“It’s time to give true education to those who can’t do anything other than hide behind a shield and shoot arrows like bastards!”

“Let’s just kill every single one of them!”

Then, as the enemy ship’s iron-covered bow slowly approached the side of our ship, I also gave an order while holding the rope.

“Throw the rope into the enemy ship! When the hook is caught, pull it at the command!”

Then we threw more than 100 ropes at once at the enemy ship.

The hooks attached to the ropes were usually caught somewhere on enemy ships, but occasionally they were caught on the bodies of unlucky Warsaw soldiers.

“evil! Fuck! help me! “You bastards, cut the rope!”

“You have to cut at least one more! cut! “Go ahead and cut it off!”

“Damn Carl! Take out the knife and cut it!!”

Meanwhile, the Reich Empire soldiers, including me, pulled the rope with all our might so as not to miss this opportunity.

Before we knew it, the oarsmen on our boat were putting all their oars into the boat, as if they were worried that the oars would break in the collision.

Soon after, the enemy ship and the friendly ship collided with a loud bang, and the ship shook.

However, because no one had let go of the rope, the enemy’s ship and our ship were so close that we could pilot them just by climbing over the railing.

“Ahoy! We are the Reich Imperial Navy! Cut down every single one of them and kill them!”
