Thx for the TL

peak is about to start : D

You know, I've never seen the good guys spend the entire chapter thoroughly explaining their plan in detail...

That's due to the storytelling rule of repeating. If the good guys spend a large amount of time discussing a plan and the audience knows about it it's going to fail. Because it'd be kind of boring to just see the heroes talk about a plan and then for the plan to execute just as they said it would. You essentially be seeing the same event twice.

Something bad bout to happen to them.

 

[popmol]

Thats pretty shallow. The nations are actively at war. We don't even know which side instigated. Heck sounds like its a war that started with a rebellion against beastkin supremacists. These two are a strategist and a merchant. Nether of them can call of the war, the strategist can only try to keep as many alive as he can. Defining it in black and white terms of good vs bad, is foolish.

dude he isn't just some strategist, he is introduced as some amazing thing, the equivalent of our best birdgirl but in strategy instead of fighting!

I mean, they are antagonists here, but they are not really villains. The two nations seem to be in active conflict. And the strategist isn't even one of the human supremacists, he actively dislikes that mentality and view it as something to correct.
So really with a shift of which side your on, they can be good guys.

This back alley stabber isn't really a villain. There seems to have been an active conflict between him and the wallet owner. And the fence views murder as a liability so he could even be a good guy if you think about it.

 

[shinobanana]

That's because you haven't read Youjo Senki. So...many...chapters..of explaining plans.

On the note of Youjo Senki, unfortunately just opening a corridor isn't enough when reaching a location through hostiles. You could lose all your forces if the corridor collapses.

6500 forces vs 3500 in Prague, but how many are you keeping to hold the corridor open for supplies? How many are you planning on losing through the monster infested lands? Also, how are you planning on ensuring the duplicity is not discovered? Surely an "official merchant" is not enough for the communications of an entire frontier town.

Holding Prague gives "control" over the Heed Kingdom, but how exactly are you planning on exercising that control? Withhold monster materials? Say hello to the army of Heed while you need to carry supplies through a monster-infested wasteland. Not withhold materials? Then what control are you exerting, exactly.

Military supply lines off the coast did not exist until railroads were invented. Armies only need food, wood, and water, and the only places worth marching to are places that already have those things. Wagons, horses, pack animals all need to eat and thus can only move food a couple days' journey. Look at any historical war and you will see 99 armies that moved like sharks and 1 guy who had an easy time retreating after splitting his forces. "Don't try to keep a corridor open for supplies, that is not possible" was the premodern warfare equivalent of "Don't invade Russia in Winter."

"The skillful soldier does not raise a second levy, neither are his supply-wagons loaded more than twice." -Sun Tzu
Note, the second loading here is stolen from the enemy and used for the return trip.

Looks like there's gonna be a lot for "Breakfast" very soon.

No! Bad! That's dirty, spit it out!

There are "enemies" coming, the children know Friend, Breakfast, and Enemy.

[Bahamut-99]

Only 25 days and not a month this time! amazing! thanks for the translation! i love this manga!

Unfortunately the author is taking a small break and we won't see chapter 10 until June

 

[tremor3258]

That's quite a bit of luck (and not much time to investigate before the Evil Plan commences, so making some reasonable assumptions).

Reasonable assumptions are fun when MCs explode 'em.

 

[frogxdor]

We need more cute birdbrains, not this political maneuvering nonsense.

 

[columbidae]

What do you mean flying types aren't weak to electric?

Ostriches may be birds, but they're definitely ground-type

 

[TheGrandMugwump]

The author couldn't help but spoil their own story. Hopefully that's a good sign of how exciting this will be.

 

[Nekotofu]
