To start, thank you for the chapter. Now, my frustrations about the manga itself...
At this point, the rebels have nothing to get us readers to sympathize with them. We can speculate or give some possible off-page sympathy, but none of the characters the rebel forces are focused on are worth rooting for the rebels.
At least with the pro-continental forces, we can sympathize with the grunts who have some incompetent commanders, but still keep positive through as much of it all.
