I feel like I'm missing something, why would the borrowed soldiers go along with this plan?
yeah that also makes little sense to me, unless the soldiers are all completly unthinking subordinates.

however this whole setup may be a ploy of the third evil noble, who did not accompany the soldiers, to get rid of the other 2 evil nobles. He may hope to absorb the territories of the two, so even if people flee from the territories he will still get enough taxes to live in luxury.

considering the name of the group and the last / credits page of the chapter I assume this chapter is more of an ad for their translation services...
thank you for translation, will you pick up this series?

This series got commissioned till Ch 53. So yeah, for now we'll be catching up to the raws for sure.

They are the soldiers of O'Shae who is in on the plot and the troops are presumably loyal to him. The Baron is borrowing them from O'Shae "for his security" and they are asking the general, who is O'Shaes boss, for permission to move the soldiers around. The general tells the Baron that Baron can borrow the troops for 3 days from O'Shae, not that they get to borrow the troops from the General.

Seizing the territory for themselves seems like the kind of thing that would get them thrown out of their own lands. If they're lucky. But more likely, heads will roll, if they even survive that long.

Lives to skin people, I mean, to provide a fair and unbiased service to her customers.

"There are no oversights in my strategy."
The first oversight is that he actually believes that. Plan has yet to make contact with the enemy.

Fuck I don't want this to be another run at the pilot chapters. I've avoided reading them whenever I reread this manga.

Uh, wouldn't it immediately be obvious if the commander asks the soldiers? After all they never fought the bandits that supposedly ambushed them. Also they planning to only get two heads for borrowing 1000 men?

Because they are soldiers. And their current commanders are nobles. If anyone of them tries to refuse an order then that is good grounds for execution due to insubordination.

That's what they have been taught and that's how they will act regardless of whom is in the right. Because going against a noble can mean not only that their life ends but some times even that of their loved ones who depend on them.

I mean just look at our medieval times on earth, in out long history of warfare, do you think that the commoner who joined or was drafted into an army, had any choice to voice his opinion?
No, the nobles/royals pointed and the soldiers attacked or were killed.

It's the word of some soldiers against that of the nobles. A commoner in a feudal setting knows better than to challenge the words of a noble and subsequently gain the ire of a person who can destroy him and his family on a whim.(besides they have already cut off some random commoner's heads for those nobles ...did you think the nobles did it themselves?)

And as for the number of heads, what exactly do you expect to happen in case that there were actual bandits? Bring back fifty heads? No, they would only bring the heads of the supposed ringleaders.
