Orcsen Oukokushi ~Yaban na Orc no Kuni wa, Ikanishite Heiwa na Elf no Kuni wo Yakiharau ni Itatta ka~ - Vol. 6 Ch. 18 - The battle for Falmaria

[Substitution]

Such an irony that the marine general is more valiant than any of the ground units.

Sailors have thousands of years of marine traditions they observe.

Navies are always more formal and serious than any land army.

I feel like the artist really wanted to draw a cooking manga, but only had a war story, and that's why all the military meals look amazing for some reason.

Check out the artist's related works, mostly all military ones.

Ready for what happens after atp

 

[Ruhrpottpatriot]

Please, these are Prussians, not Canadians.

That made me chuckle.

Captured white elves?
What captured white elves?

The ones from Falmaria, who didn't flee. It's been pretty clear that while the Orc love a good war, they're also not doing it for the sake of it and will take prisoners if they surrender.

Title: Battle
Content: not one skirmish shown

Smh the shrinkflation gets worse, we can't even get a proper battle

Also he draw and self-published the manga adaptation for this story since it’s still WN.

and then one day...

Editorial : We got green light for Orcsen manga adaptation. I can’t make a promise, but do you have any request for manga artist to do the adaptation?
Author : Hmm... maybe Nogami Takeshi? Not hoping much though. (I remember he did doujin of this before)
Nogami : Leave it to me!

I can't wait to see the Bitch Queen's face when the news and the extent of her arrogance fueled stupidity dickslaps her.

Though im also a little suspicious that she wants her people slaughtered for some horrific and selfish reason. But Im happy with her just being incompetent trash as well.

Artist's own manga is Slice of life about writer have a lot of break times and yeah his detail of food in that also good too.

Of course the navy is the most brave

At the same time, Enfanglia brigade:
PoWs? What is that? Tastes yummy?

 

[wakanana]

Nice that the dark elves got to hunt escaping white elves. Must have felt appropriate.

 

[JasonBourne117]

The translations are better than the previous ones.

 

[Plutonis]

i wonder what they do with captured white elves since they committed massacres on the dark elves.
will we have some nuremberg trials situation at some point?

That's actually going to be an interesting point bc Gustav's whole reason for the war is unifying non-human races for a possible future conflict with Gloire or Camelot, so while he definitely is going to purge and try army officers, he might be tempted to try and integrate some like that Marine Commander who show themselves to be actually competent.

 

[Abricomas]

he might be tempted to try and integrate some like that Marine Commander who show themselves to be actually competent.

It may be easier to do that for the Marine Corps and Navy officers, since they’re less likely to have been involved in any of the pogroms and massacres, simply by the fact that they were at sea and couldn’t have been involved.

too early for that shit to happen

This part looks at the flaws of traditional military organisation and hierarchy, in the face of a modern military. During the Opium Wars and Boxer Rebellion, China's Eight Banners was woefully unprepared to fight modern European, American and Japanese armies:

• Designed around ethnic and clan identity, during wartime politicians had to decide which and how many units from each Banner had to be mobilised based on political and military reasons.
• Structured for both administrative and military organisation, leading to slow bureaucracy and a lack of training or updating during peacetime.
• In order to prevent military commanders from forming bases of loyalty from troops and locals from military achievements, whoever was chosen as overall commander (if at all) was rotated or reassigned from the frontlines.
• Units were scattered across the country and fulfilled different roles, leading to slow movement & lines of communication, inconsistent quality of weapons & equipment and little coordination between commanders without clear orders.
• Worse of all: The military had become so complacent from being used for internal conflicts and a lack of foreign threats, that it was not prepared to fight against militaries that were highly mobile, better organised, had more advanced weapons and allowed to act without political authorisation.

Oooh, that’s such a cool insight and lesson! Never had the chance to learn about the lesson of the war when it was taught in the syllabus back during my school days.

I’ve always assumed it was only because of Britain’s advanced weaponry (for the time), and China’s internal conflicts and politics that they won a landslide victory, and not anything to do with a modern army vs a group of clans.

Thank you for the translations!

Man, after seeing their military and societal culture throughout the war, I wonder what did those knife ears supremacist wannabe were thinking when they decided to eradicate their entire free/low-maintenance labor force when they themselves were so laughably easy eradicate.
