EP.415

Siloam… A song that healed the hearts of those who suffered for 4 weeks in the unfamiliar environment of Nonsan Training Center.

Imperial officers began chanting earnestly to forget their fears as they walked to the walls where the enemy awaited them.

“Sing loudly! In hell! In despair! “Let’s go in search of hope!”

Although Peter Yeager did not specifically teach lyrics and rhythm to the entire army.

Priests serving in the military continued to sing the song while circling around the Polsky castle for over an hour, so there were some among the officers and soldiers who memorized the song.

And the soldiers also sang along to forget their fear.

“In hell! In despair! “Let’s go in search of hope!”

As the entire imperial army began to sing this song as they advanced to the walls of Polsky Castle, the atmosphere on the battlefield began to heat up.

The fear of not knowing when I might die began to settle in a corner of my mind.

They began to have a well-founded confidence that they would definitely win against the evil Warsaw hillbillies over there.

“Even though the bells rang and the roosters crowed, I saw only despair!”

As the atmosphere of the Reich Imperial Army improved, the atmosphere of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw’s army worsened.

One soldier was so scared and anxious that he started biting his nails.

“What are those crazy people… Are Deus really siding with the Reich Imperial Army?”

Another soldier had cold sweat all over his body and his knees were numb.

“It’s not like protecting a castle, it’s a siege. “Are people unilaterally killing their colleagues in droves?”

Some of the non-commissioned officers swung their swords here and there to scare them.

“Did you see it? Did you enjoy the sights, you bastards? Throw arrows and stones! “Kill all those bastards!”

Even the people who were scaring me couldn’t hide the fact that they were sweating in fear and thought to themselves.

When I see them overcome that extreme fear and come back smiling and singing, I think it would be right for the real Deus to bow down to them.

‘And we’re all left behind?’

From the walls of Polsky Castle, countless arrows and stone magic ballista arrows rained down on the Reich Imperial Army.

Those who were hit by arrows died while spitting out words and last words.

Those hit by stones or magic ballistas either died instantly or were so seriously injured that they could not move and screamed.

“My arms and my legs! “Save me… no, kill me!”

“Maria Maria… I promised I would return alive…”

“Those heretics Polsky, how dare you blow off my shoulder…”

When such people appear, at least the immediate surroundings should show signs of agitation, but there was no sign of fear or intimidation from the imperial soldiers.

Instead, they just cheer and sing and appear to be enjoying themselves as much as they can, like young people having fun at a village festival.

“I will thank you, Deus! Give me this city! “Please show me that great miracle!”

“Long live Deus! Long live Deus!”

“Avenge Bastion! Let’s not forget Director Landel’s noble sacrifice!”

However, the imperial army officers were well aware of the emotions hidden behind it.

“After all, it’s a Deus miracle. “To even cover up the soldiers’ fearful feelings with such a joyous military song.”

However, the only people within the Imperial Army who knew the truth were the Engineer Command and a few high-ranking priests…

“Did Marshal Jaeger’s fervent faith and the prayers of the Imperial soldiers reach Deus?”

“Are miracles really happening that we couldn’t even imagine? Well, if it’s Marshal Jaeger, it’s not anyone else…”

“Deus will probably use him too. “As always.”

Among the officers of the Reich Empire, Peter Jaeger was unintentionally gaining an image as a devout believer.

If Peter Yeager himself had heard it, he would have laughed out loud.

The officers who would be the source of these rumors all truly thought so.

Otherwise, the enemy, who has no knowledge of composition or music, would not have been able to create such an exciting and catchy song in just one day.

Peter Yeager watched the situation closely and gave an order.

“Concentrate your magic catapult fire on the castle wall! Show me clearly the punishment of Deus! Deus Bolt!”

The wizards followed the command and cast spells on the castle walls.

“Get down! “Fuck, lie down!”

“When the Imperial soldiers start coming up, the magic won’t fly! “Until then, put your face on the ground!”

“Put your body behind the castle!”

Warsaw soldiers and officers on the walls tried to increase their chances of survival as much as possible by sticking themselves behind the fortress or lying down on the ground.

“The Reich Imperial Army are no better than dogs!”

“Ahh!”

“Dirty empire bastards… receive heavenly punishment.”

After the magic salvo, the Reich Imperial Army prepared to climb the castle wall in earnest.

“Climb up the wall! “It is time to show Deus’ punishment with your own eyes!”

“Kill every single one of them! Don’t discriminate between adults, children, women, and old people!”

“They are followers of the evil archduke. Pull it out by the roots.”

As the imperial soldiers began to climb the walls, the Warsaw soldiers did their best to stop them.

“Kill! “Those imperial bastards who are no better than dogs must be slaughtered!”

“Don’t leave a single person alive! Fight for your family. “We are not heretics!”

“Long live Warsaw! Long live Deus!”

They overturned ladders, smashed their heads with stones, stopped them with huge hammers and maces, and fired arrows at them.

“Holy shit, it hurts so bad…”

“The ladder is tipping over! Everyone avoid it! “If you don’t want to get lost!”

“It’s over! Let’s go!!”

In contrast to those who resisted so hard, the imperial soldiers continued to climb the castle wall while singing to forget their fear.

“In hell, in despair! “Let’s go in search of hope!”

“Do not tremble! Move forward! Sing loud! “Overcome the fears that Satan gives you!”

“Long live the Reich Empire! “Even though the bells rang and the roosters crowed, all I saw was despair!”

After three months of only hearing stories about Bastion Castle, let’s add a lively military song to the soldiers who came here.

On the outside, they went forward like an army from hell that felt no fear, or rather like a horde of zombies as they say in Korea, where Peter Yeager lived.

Even when his comrades died, he sang military songs to wash away his fear and sadness.

“Corporal Martin! Argh! Oh Lord! To you!”

Even after climbing the ladder, I continued shouting loudly.

“I will be grateful! “Give me this city!”

The Warsaw soldiers who saw and heard this naturally felt afraid, and some weak-hearted men and girls wet themselves.

“Ah ah… ahhh! “Crazy guys!”

This is because it was difficult to stay sane while watching people sing happily and repeatedly kill their enemies in a war where they could die at any moment.

People who were already immersed in fear and mental exhaustion were unable to maintain their sanity when faced with these crazy people.

“Hehehehe!”

If Peter Yeager had seen it, there was a crazy person who suffered from a phenomenon in which his brain was temporarily destroyed due to so-called fear and fear, which he would call PTSD.

A soldier who has thrown away his weapon and just runs forward without any thought and with unfocused eyes.

The Imperial soldiers and officers who saw such a man became more confident.

‘Ah, Deus really performed a miracle. Otherwise, there would be no way for an enemy soldier to suddenly go crazy.’

The Imperial soldiers who saw this person suffering from unknown and inexplicable PTSD with their own eyes misunderstood this as the power of Deus.

“Deus handed over your life to me, so you deserve to die!”

The soldier who ran without thinking got his head smashed and died.

Some officers were horrified to see this strange phenomenon, but now was the time to focus on raising the morale of our troops.

“Deus is with us! Sing and be happy! “We will win!”

Then, he himself fought in the vanguard on the castle wall, singing in a loud voice along with the soldiers.

Several officers died in the process.

The power of song Because I didn’t know about people who are obsessed with a condition called PTSD.

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

“Deus protects us! “Leave nothing behind in Warsaw!”

“Show the power of the imperial army clearly!”

The soldiers and officers mistakenly thought that all of this was really being helped by God.

And of course, a messenger ran to Peter Yeager to deliver this news.

“I will report to the enemy!”

The messenger’s face was very flushed and full of smiles.

“Perhaps thanks to the support from Deus, the morale of the soldiers fighting on the walls is very high, and the enemy is having a hard time resisting the momentum of our army!”

“Right. and?”

“It also seems like Deus is working directly. Among the enemy soldiers, there were even those who abandoned their weapons and ran towards our troops with their eyes wide open!”

Peter Yeager was dumbfounded.

‘Why is there already PTSD, a thing exclusive to the era when cannons and shells were exploding like crazy?’

However, he answered solemnly without showing any such sign.

“Deus is helping us. “Then now I will climb up the castle wall.”
