Chapter 1153
Hansen was buried in a mountain of work he had to do.
While Siegfried only needed to go wherever he was told to go and rampage to his heart’s content, Hansen was not so lucky.
Though his title was merely that of a strategic advisor, he was actually the one commanding the imperial army these days.
The empire’s top generals had entrusted him with strategizing after witnessing just how capable of a strategist he was. Hansen kept coming up with tactics they never would have thought of themselves, so they saw no reason to intervene.
All they did was review the reports Hansen had submitted and sign off on them.
As a result, Hansen had to work more than twenty hours a day without taking a single day off, but he never complained once.
‘A nobody peasant like me was given the chance to command the army of the world’s greatest empire... Who would even believe this? I guess all sorts of things are possible in this world...’
Hansen thought of this opportunity as an honor, no matter how tired he was.
He was a slash-and-burn farmer just like his father before him. He could never have dreamed of standing where he was now. Thus, instead of grumbling and complaining about the workload, he focused on fulfilling his duty with everything he had.
As if rewarding his efforts, the war slowly turned in the imperial army’s favor.
His strategies and Siegfried’s combat prowess created a synergy that was nothing short of monstrous, allowing the imperial army to enjoy a string of victories against the Corals.
