[CrimsonNanashi]

They got a rat

 

[Warukyure]

That brings a new meaning to the term "Battle Maid"...

I like it, no flashy moves, very precise.

 

[flxsemi]

The clear flow of panel composition when it comes to the fight scenes is so satisfying to read. Artist's got a PhD on it.

Thank you for the update

Edit: also, Season 2 hype (10 days to go!)

I LOVE COMPETENT SIDE CHARACTERS.

God damn, having the capacity to provide battlefield info to your allies with an arrow in your throat, what a guy. And the battle maid knowing they have healing powers, so she stabs one of them and tosses them as a distraction to force the archer to try and heal him? This is peak shit and these aren't even main characters.

 

[Raifurain]

He got shot in the neck

"No problem, they are over there."

 

[alacaelum]

Hmmm... the assassin femboy tried to save his companion... didn't expect this level of comradeship from a group of killers belonging to a sect of religious zealots.

Faye goes directly for the lethal approach, she cuts the guy's throat and throws him off the roof for good measure.

The competency of everyone involved is a sight to see.

One of the royal guard was hit by an arrow on the neck, knowing he was finished, he used his last moments to see as much as possible and inform his comrades about it... if that ain't badass, I don't know what is.

Rest well now, mah guy, you deserve it.

This artist can draw some banger action scenes while still keeping the panels easy to follow. Love it.

 

[Zthulu]

Bro gets sniped in the neck, and still manages to wait until it’s safe and signal his team in cover. What a G

 

[Raifurain]

I wonder if the anime will even go this far....

 

[Ldark]

I wonder if the anime will even go this far....

the anime already covered this arc, but is totally different, the manga story is much better

 

[WhimsiCat]

No quips, no hesitations.

Just professionals doing professionals things.

 

[lolfacesayshi]

I love that it wasn't a clean raid or a clean ambush

They got a rat

They already knew that they've been made.

 

[YoJimbo0321]

Damn, one down on both sides. Everyone already mentioned the Royal Guard doing his duty to the end, but Captain Fey interrupting Hinnis from healing her mate was cold too

 

[razorshaleh]

Looks like this chapter flew by so fast. I finished reading the whole thing in just 2 minutes

thank you for transaltion

 

[havelmom]

this is by far one of the best fighting choreography paneling and movement in all of manga
everything has flow, weight, perfectly displayed

 

[Med1um]

He got shot in the neck

"No problem, they are over there."

Didn't he die right afterwards? Artist draw him slumping on the next frame.
It's more like "I'm so professional that even when i know i'm beyond saving, i will fulfill my duty up until the very end"

 

[af4zl]

one of the good of this manga is EVERYONE IS COMPETENT, I hope this one can continue without being axed or ending abruptly.

 

[Hauberk1800]

That wqs short but still satisfying chock full of good action right here.

Thanks for the tl
