Possessed in a Family of War Heroes - Possessed in a Family of War Heroes chapter 44

44 – What are you doing? Jump out

Königsen’s summer offensive ended in failure. And that’s not an ordinary failure, but a catastrophic failure.

Our allied forces did not miss the gap created by Erwin and I. He immediately penetrated the weakened enemy lines, cut their waists, and conversely formed a huge siege.

There were several reasons why the Allies were able to move this far.

I blocked the enemy’s movement once, but it was successful. In the first place, the enemies had no options other than attack and it was impossible to retreat, so it was the same as half of them blocking my movement on their own.

The second is mobility. The enemy urgently recruited troops to catch us, and this was called a rapid response unit, so in Königssen it could be said that it was a unit close to Tier 1 in terms of mobility.

Since we said we’d catch this, we couldn’t stop it even if the coalition came rushing in.

Lastly, the absence of reserve forces. Königssen was rather understaffed. In the middle of the attack, one division was completely pinned down thanks to Erwin.

It was only natural that there would be a hole because they sent troops equivalent to one division to help with that again.

There is no such thing as a grand offensive anymore. The only thing left for the Königssen is to somehow save some of their forces and retreat.

“You are alive and well. I am very fortunate.”

And those who came to help us were, unexpectedly, elves, not the imperial army.

Oh my god, my ears are really pointed. It’s not just a slight rise. It’s like looking through a window

How the hell do the officials do it? Her hair is very fine, regardless of gender.

All of them are quite long, but they can shine that much. Looking at it this way, I can’t even see the balding elf. Doesn’t the hair loss gene itself exist in them?

I think I suddenly know why they say they are the most superior. Both humans and dwarves lose their hair when they get older, but those elves have plenty of hair even when they get older! Damn you nerds!

“Thank you very much for saving me. My name is Rich Reinhardt.”

Of course, an elf without hair loss is a dwarf, and an elf who saved us is a good elf. Cancer cancer.

“I am Enka of the Eastern Spring. I couldn’t believe it because the son of the commander-in-chief of the allied forces was here, but looking at it like this, he was preparing a foothold for a reversal here.”

“This is overrated. And it’s not what I did. Exactly what this guy here did.”

I pushed Erwin’s back at the same time as I quietly stepped aside.

Why do you keep trying to run away? Tactics and command were all done by you.

All I did was assist with some bait from behind? Don’t pass the ball to me

Also, since he is the son of the commander-in-chief, if he ate an ambiguous ball, he would only get scolded.

“Whoa. There was another hero of the empire. What is the name of the?”

“Kuhm. Erwin Company Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division. Thank you so much for coming this far and saving the lives of my soldiers. I will never forget this grace.”

“Ha ha ha! It’s grace Don’t talk like that.”

Yes. What is grace While the empire was serving as a shield in front of you, you must have prepared everything.

I know everything. The elves and the beasts always pretend to each other that their own population is extremely insufficient.

Emperor knows that, so it’s at a level where it can go out with just one blow of the wind, so it’s giving consideration.

However, it is a problem to keep quiet even when the empire is in danger of collapsing if it is really wrong.

As far as I can remember, that person’s good father must have been straight-faced and had a blast with them.

“Hey, I’m sorry I was talking.”

A very haggard face, but Enter, who has accumulated a lot of experience, sneaks in.

“What do we do now?”

“You can switch to the Imperial Army that will arrive later and retreat to the rear.”

“Then the offensive….”

“We plan to encircle the Königssen who have not yet retreated by moving our elven rangers and beast warriors to the left and the brave troops of the empire to the right.”

You’re saying that you’re going to take some stakes like this since you haven’t played well in the defense game?

Yeah, no matter what, it must be the decision of the superiors. It’s not yet at the stage where I can talk about it.

In addition, the Königssen must have known what would happen to them if they couldn’t retreat.

You will receive as much resistance in attack as in defense. And you will do a lot of damage.

Even if not as much as the Empire, all elves and beasts must shed blood. That’s fair

“Then let’s go. The area is now safe, so prepare to retreat to the rear.”

As the elves retreated, I let out a sigh of relief and sat down.

I wasn’t alone. Enterdo, Ardo, everyone collapses as if their legs gave out.

“… I live.”

“Sure.”

“I really lived.”

While I was muttering that in a daze, someone sneaks up next to me.

When she looked up, Erwin was looking at me with a gentle smile.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

“You are. No, Erwin, on the contrary, you suffered more. From commanding to establishing tactics, you did it all.”

“Of course it is. But that tactic, that force, it’s all thanks to you, Richie, for making it all work in time. Also, Mr. Enter and Mr. Ariete. I mean everything.”

If it wasn’t for us, I wouldn’t have dreamed of being as active as we are today.

It was an opportunity to realize once again that the rear is more important than anything else for soldiers on the front line to show the best fighting power. Erwin said that and held out his hand to me.

“Please take good care of me in the future. Rich Reinhardt.”

Perhaps, in the not too distant future, I am certain that I will see you again.

You should see it the way he expects. I’ll roll from the rear, Erwin from the front line.

Anyway, isn’t it the same as contributing to the victory of the Empire?

“As for me, please take good care of me. Erwin.”

How far has this guy been promoted this time? Did he go all the way to the youngest regiment commander?

“Squadron commander Erwin. I report to the division commander to return to the unit.”

After encountering the elves and then the imperial army and swapping with them. Me, Erwin, Enter and Ar were finally able to return to 1st Cavalry Division headquarters.

There, like the other commanders, a rather haggard-looking older brother greeted us surrounded by all sorts of strategy plans and battle reports.

“You have worked hard, Captain Erwin. I heard that your performance was great.”

“No. This is what his men, officers and noncommissioned officers have done. I’m just behind….”

“Humility is good, but sometimes it’s not. This is such a moment. The empire needs a hero, and if you look at it that way, Erwin is an undeniable hero of the empire.”

“That’s too much praise.”

Since then, my older brother, who has been talking about this and that, told me to go back and rest.

So, following Erwin’s footsteps, I’m also going to step back…

“Leehi. Wait for a sec.”

My brother stopped me and I had to turn around and sit down again.

“I heard that your contributions were also quite large.”

Once everyone else in the group left the division commander’s office, the older brother was out of luck.

“What is a ball? Erwin and the soldiers did everything. I hardly ever went to battle. While serving as bait, we lost only the brave soldiers of the Empire.”

“Before discussing tactics and strategy, what is needed is supplies and troops. It can be said that the rear commander who managed to arrange it somehow played a decisive role in the victory.”

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems that the military is already trying to shine a spotlight on me as much as Erwin.

The son of the commander-in-chief, the younger brother of the youngest division commander. Could there be a more suitable person to be promoted as a new war hero for the empire? Even if it’s like me, I think I’ll tell you to float it unconditionally.

“Brother. Can I ask you one favor?”

But to do that, there are too many brave warriors who have had to be buried.

“Ervin is a hero among heroes that no one can deny. He made a great major. Let that friend go unconditionally. But not me. I don’t know it from the inside, but I don’t want it to float outside.”

“Is it because you still don’t want to stand out?”

“No. It’s not like that.”

I have already made up my mind. Then, of course, you have to deal with what stands out.

The reason I am saying this now is not for such a powerful reason.

“As you may know, even if the alliance wins in the end, there were definitely defeats in the beginning. Many died and were injured. In the meantime, if you dare to launch the commander-in-chief’s son as a hero, you’ll make his father tired here and there. And of course there will be talk about his older brother.”

“It is undeniable that we lost early. If you have to take responsibility for that….”

“Instead, Ervindo is from the 1st Cavalry Division. So don’t talk to each other, let’s not talk too much about it. And… Well, actually, this is the most important reason.”

It suddenly comes to mind. At the moment of crisis, the soldiers turned and ran to the enemy without hesitation.

Although he knew he was going to die, he was aware that he would never be able to return to his family.

The warriors who did not forget their position and did not avoid what they had to do.

“There are too many people who never came back. And this war isn’t over. I just pushed back the offensive and went into a counterattack, but in fact, you can see it as the beginning. Therefore-“

It can be said that the battlefield where I will go out in earnest is from now on.

“When it’s all over, ask me to launch you as a hero.”
