EP.229
The scene near Oslo’s walls seen from Major Augur’s perspective shows that hell and heaven are clearly separated by the walls.
Heaven was a camp where the troops of the Reich Empire he belonged to were stationed, and hell was a prison surrounded by a wall about 3 meters high.
The soldiers of the empire were leisurely enjoying a happy situation where all food was supplied without restrictions except for alcohol.
“A toast to the grace of His Majesty the Great Emperor!”
“I hope it’s just like today, no more, no less!”
“Eat and drink while you can! Since the Lieutenant General gave permission, all I have to do today is have fun. Oh, tomorrow too!”
And some northerners did cartwheels and threatened the prisoners in Stockholm.
Some of them were sobbing, looking like they were about to cry, but the northern soldiers personally approached the captured soldiers and encouraged them.
As a result, they began to sing songs near the castle walls that reminded them of their hometown in the Kingdom of Stockholm.
“Ah, a quiet water mill by the blue river in the village. That night, Katyusha’s skirt fluttered like a butterfly~”
“Her beautiful smile appears before my eyes in the golden wheat field...”
“Our home, where there is a dazzling morning sun and a warm bread wife’s smile.”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire clapped and loved the song, and all the attention and attention of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Stockholm above the castle walls were directed to the bottom of the walls.
“I fucking want to go home. “It sucks that I was drafted into the military, but why on earth do I have to live like this?”
“Mom, Mom... I miss you.”
“I want to touch Liella’s breasts. “Why on earth did you ask me to go to the water mill on the day before I enlisted...” When
the officers and nobles of the kingdom heard the captured Stockholm soldiers singing a song about their hometown outside the castle, the soldiers guarding the castle walls became distraught. As I saw the morale sagging and sagging, I began to focus all my attention on boosting the morale of the soldiers.
“The reconnaissance battalion is now. Hurry up and enter the castle. “I’m sure everyone brought a torch filled with oil and a can of straw soaked in oil, right?”
In response to Major Short’s question, the 150 members of the unit, including prisoners, quickly completed roll call and inspection and began to carefully look for holes under the castle wall.
Normally, it was a situation where they could have been discovered by the guards standing guard, but the attention of the officers and soldiers in Oslo was all focused on the song sung by the prisoners of the Kingdom of Stockholm.
Because of that, even though the guards were on guard, they couldn’t even properly determine who was passing below...
“Captain Holmes, have you found the location of the hole?”
“I looked closely at the bottom of the castle wall and found a hole large enough for one person to crawl through. In addition, even if you put your ear to the ground, you can hear very faint human footsteps, so there are no kingdom soldiers or civilians making the rounds inside.”
“Okay, let’s go in now. “The 1st platoon of the reconnaissance unit goes in first, and then the rest of the prisoners, along with me, go in last.”
His acting was so perfect that the people of the Kingdom of Stockholm were immediately returning to their lodgings because they did not want to die.
Soldiers belonging to the real Stockholm Kingdom Army who were passing by thought they were friendly troops and just passed by.
In this way, Major Short was able to get close to the armory without being caught by anyone, and from there he gave a hand signal.
He waved his right hand up and down three times, and he and the soldiers spread straw soaked in oil in a convenient location for burning.
He piled up as many of the things that were easily burned as possible and poured oil on top of them.
“Light it.”
As soon as he said those words, the wooden armory caught fire and began to burn brightly.
The scouts who saw this showed their joy by suppressing their voices, and Major Short gave each of them a hard slap on the back and said,
“If you idiots stay here, you will die. Hurry up and get out. If there are wooden shacks or temporary lodgings along the way, light them with torches and move on!”
At the same time as those words were said, the 10 men under Major Short, who had come here with confidence, moved carefully, using the back alleys as secretly as possible.
Meanwhile, if there was a building that seemed flammable, they quickly set it on fire.
As they ran away in such a hurry, they heard good news from a nearby highway.
“1st platoon is a weapons depot! The 2nd platoon is the regimental barracks! The 3rd platoon runs to the temporary camp!! “The 4th platoon will come out immediately and go to the royal castle!”
“Fire! “Fire!”
“...... A person is dead! Someone died! “The Reich Empire has entered the castle!”
The fact that the enemy’s major facilities are on fire means that other unit members’ operations have been successful, and as the commotion grows, the attention paid to them decreases, increasing their chances of survival.
This was very good news.
“Burn everything you can with the idea of burning down the entire castle. And the Stockholm prisoners can go away. “No, if you don’t want to die, get out.”
In fact, Lieutenant General Jaeger did not know that the Stockholm prisoners were praying for all of them to be captured in the castle, and as soon as he was told to get out, the Stockholm prisoners quickly began to run away.
Major Short and all 100 members of his unit succeeded in returning to their unit safely.
And a few days later, King Christian von Vasa of Stockholm proposed peace negotiations to Lieutenant General Jaeger.
