oof

 

[nachtness]

smh just join the other faction and destroy the 4 asshoIes

 

[KuroInfinity]

Its going to suck to see her die, she's practically drowning in death flags.

 

[Wreavant]

Dang that was fantastic.

 

[Korvalus]

@nachtness: that would be even worse. If Alexis did that, the 4 lords would have a perfect excuse to declare her a traitor and rally all the lords against her. And to be honest, an army that can be held off with an inferior force and that leaves their flanks & supplies open to ambushes doesn't inspire confidence to help Alexis. And that's if they accept her at all, which I doubt...

The 4 nobles are in the perfect position to do whatever they want: weak monarchy, feeble lords, economical + political power combo... Bringing down that thing is incredibly difficult, but possible. But I find the political+intrigue way more effective in this case that the military one.

 

[Dust]

GREAT.

 

[Carjiga]

I mean, The aunt has to die to be the final nail in the MC's rage. But still gonna suck to watch her go down.

 

[grandygon]

the chapter name do live up to the hype

 

[karanga]

gotta purge them nobles

 

[nachtness]

@Korvalus weII enIighten me with the soIution then

 

[Kisato]

@nachtness There is no clear solution and there probably won't be either. There is always something that must be lost and something that will be taken, all we can hope to do is try to succeed within the lot that we are given, and sometimes.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

 

[Doomer]

even if the nobles are sending the enemy reports about how low Alexis food supply is the enemy's food supply is even worse not to mention they are being massacred, no king would be stupid enough to actually keep that invasion going, the losses FAR outweighs the benefits.
the nobles plan is equally retarded, it's one thing to try and push down and potential threats to their power but they are literally allowing their nation to be invaded, they gain absolutely nothing, only losing not to mention all the nobles know it's those 4's fault this happened so their influence should diminish

 

[Korvalus]

@nachrness: well, it's a bit of a long shot but here we go.
The best option with these 4 would be pitting the 4 nobles against each other. With statuses so high if you completely trust you lose so there's bound to be places where they keep tabs on each other. Sabotaging certain business of noble A which may benefit noble B, specially if you send forged letters of noble B to the clients of A offering the same services. Another would be framing one of them for crimes against other of the nobles. There's possibilities, but the core idea is to make the situation between the 4 nobles as hostile as possible so that when something big happens (provoked by you), they'll go for each other's necks.
@Kisato: that's a given. With this conditions bringing those behemoths down would probably take years at best, and that if you can at all...

This really makes zero sense. What could the nobles possibly have to gain from not only letting their countries soldiers die, bleeding them of assets for future war, but losing prosperous land? I mean if they are jealous of the city then whatever, but a prosperous region in the kingdom helps them too due to the trade and farm land it creates. Unless the enemy nation is paying them VAST amounts of money or something, the loses from this would be devastating to the nation. That's not even mentioning the fact that the aunt seems to be a war hero, protecting the entire kingdom in that direction, and if every other lord knows it's these nobles trying to stop her how the fuck do they have ANY power whatsoever? You lose military might, resources, farmland, trade, completely destroy moral of the military in general, and the lose of a well known war hero would destroy the moral of the citizens as well, since now they would feel fear knowing she isn't guarding that area anymore. Like for real, the author is going to have to create a work rivaling The Illiad for any of what is happening to make sense.

 

[sdarkpaladin]

The thing about logic is that... sometimes people do not have them.

The nobles could have been blinded by envy and would let their empire be split up before allowing anyone to have a better city.

 

[sunsengnim]

The aunt is going to die isn't she? While that's going to be sad watching Leonard become an avatar of rage is going to be glorious.

 

[lupus_in_fabula]

"This war heroine is being too conceited, so that's what we'll do to take her down a peg. We'll sabotage the defense of our nation giving to the enemy not only a prosperous territory, but a natural stronghold against foreign invasions, turning it in a great outpost to invade us.

Because we are clever."

 

[Homelander]

Can't wait till those fat nobles get it!

 

[Wilhelm_Stenvall]

if the aunt dies, they'll definitely be invaded by more forces.
