GATE - Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri - Vol. 23 Ch. 121

[amamiya426]

Out of the frying pan straight to the fire.
Zorzal is an idiot thinking Italica is left unattended.

 

[Esor]

Quite chillin talk between Apostle in Love and Dummy Apostle 😇

 

[screamdoom]

I know he stupid, but you gotta respect the hustle, not only he lack information but he also can't differentiate in power superiority.
He about to lead his men to their demise.

 

[Eeliejun]

Seems they forgot about air assets. Even if they deployed them in the front it would be minutes to get them back and bomb the shit out of them. Also would be SHOCKED if they did not spot the army already because really doubt it they would leave their government without any support or troops even if they took the city the army would just airlift the Emperor back to the home base. Even if they win this battle they can't win the war. The only way is if the gate would close and the army would starve but think even if it is closed with the build-up we have seen it would take months to run out of ammo. Tbh, hope the author crushes this army like we did them all but doubt it and think we will have something stupid like a last min save.

 

[BasicRaincloud]

Huh, the translation is kinda iffy for this chapter. But it's still decently readable.

Redrawer/cleaner here, I mentioned those mistakes to the translator, will probably get them fixed by tomorrow. Proofreader seems to not be paying enough attention lately...

 

[dragon_soup]

Nah i feel bad for those soldiers in mares, zorzal is a bitch

 

[Sung_Jin-Woo]

You're gonna march an army through an open plain when you know your enemies have air superiority? Are they betting that the JSDF deployed their entire force to Marles and have no reserves? Do they think they can take the city of Italica before the JSDF can respond? Either way, it's just a terrible idea because they have no way of holding the city even if they take it. A war of attrition with guerilla tactics was the better approach. Bleed our their money and men until the politics back home force them to retreat.

they are assuming the enemy goes with the same common sense as them, which i guess is semi understandable, suddenly dealing with modern weaponry and tactics is a really big step, but the fact that the generals aren't even taking into account the possible stories they've heard of artillery (possibly described as gods wrath or something) just rains upon them without a enemy in site does show the arogance of the generals and the king, which ig is also accurate for the era they are in, assuming they are the better kinda of human and are always right until theres a gun pointed to their face and their entire army is just massacred in a 1 minute encounter

 

[Baddtraxx]

Cant tell if Zorzal is dumb af, or thinks boldness wins over.
Because thats both, bold and stupid.

Also Rory was perfect this chapter 💜

[Rayla89]

oh no Itlica.... anyway....totally no recollection of why Tyuule is reacting like this

Because Furuta (the JSDF chef she has feelings for) is in Italica.

Regardless, Zorzal is dumb as all hell, so wherever he goes he's going to get curb stomped.

 

[levyoasu]

just a couple of modern war machine is enough to wipe them out, that guy who grinning in the last pag just never learn XD

 

[IronMace1990]

Rory on why there's so many shitty people: They took our souls! Dey took 'er soles!! Durka der!!

It may be true, but still a boomer thing to say.

Isn't Youji's soul is off-limits due to Rory? I wonder what will happen first: Rory's accession or Youji's death?

 

[Bahamut_Blitz]

Because Furuta (the JSDF chef she has feelings for) is in Italica.

The JSDF chef is under cover with Zorzal. He's not in Italica.

 

[Hoezell]

Chapter 121 and he STILL manages to fuck it up, again...

 

[chusetto]

No guerrilla formation in the jungle? Istead, we're going open! Yup, they're so dead

 

[Nunally]

Interesting if JSDF plant a minefield around Italica, Zorzal will go crazy because his army can be defeated without sparing any single soldier XD

 

[Kshatria]

how much debt does she have anyway? a few people worth of meal shouldnt be that long for working. it's not even 5 star restaurant. is it just for punishment?

anyway, back then in japan, japanese goverment had this advanced tech to obliterate other country spy (when the gang first come into japan). and here in isekai they're pretty much BLIND. just wtf happened here?? they should have at least a drone, heck even spy ballon. i just dont get it, in the last few chapter battles, they're all pretty much getting ambushed nearly every time. i know they dont bring any advanced tech there, but is drone that advanced? balloon? even flir or at least thermal imaging?

 

[al_pacino]

A lot of empires have been this "dumb", but chugged along for centuries while slowly declining instead of collapsing. On account of the backs of strong infrastructure and civil services, and maybe an occasional brilliant ruler who fixes their forefather's mistakes, only to have it frittered away by their immediate descendants.

As it turns out, highly evolved sovereign states don't crumble easily, even when faced with war. This kind of military-minded hubris can co-exist with somewhat stable governance, and is even realistic when you observe military conflicts over the ages.

I'd love to just disagree with this. but... I'm reminded by the Romans during the 1st and 2nd Punic war. during 1st Punic war, Romans just lost about 3 fleet along with all their crews (some 10.000 men or more), and they still ended up winning. and then during the 2nd Punic war, Rome had devastating lost at Cannae, and still ended up winning anyway. so yeah, you're right about Great Nations somehow able to absorb such amount of losses and yet still standing.

it still frustrate me tho. the Empire here already got experience in Ginza attack, Alnus attack, and some latest attack in plains where they manage to ambush Japs in the plains. they should've known by now what their adversaries capabilities are! isn't there anyone with a working brain with Zorzal or something!?

 

[MCX01]

I see mountains of corpses and rivers of blood in the coming chapters, all of it will be Zorales men's.

 

[MangaRockRefugee]

If Zorzal intends to destroy the gate, then he's going to eat a fistful from Rory.
