that ignores the obvious advance tech they have. take a look at the chariot from a few chapters back. it uses things that would require at least modern levels of tech to build. the wheel alone looked to be a modern day rubber offroad truck tire which implies all kinds of advancements in production quality.
Yeah, I saw those wheels in this chapter and I was like "...Those are oddly advanced for a medieval chariot."
And speaking of possible foreshadowing, the helmets on the bad guy knights look oddly bug-like, don't they?
Well... some readers still can't accept that MC who looks super human suddenly gets beaten to a pulp by a new character, and a chick that is. Even though the reason is clear, Alan is just a chuuni, not a real fighter.
Yeah, it's just so weird. She's obviously got nanomachines of her own, she's wearing the same low profile battlesuit Alan is, she even outright explained how she won: Because Alan has been using his nanomachines as a crutch this whole time, which we knew about from the moment he explained that his "Corinth swordsmanship style" is literally just Alan doing video game moves in real life way back in like chapter 3 or something.
Alan is basically like the Wizard of Oz. He uses technological tricks to appear better than he actually is, and it works because the primitive natives are gullible. Now he's run into an actual wizard and he gets owned like expected. I don't understand why people are at all confused about this turn of events.
If I had to complain about something in this scene, it'd be that Alan didn't realize her nature sooner. The second she pulled off obviously nanomachine-aided superhuman feats and then berated him for relying too much on nanom as a crutch, he should've realized. The only one who'd even know what nanom is and refer to it with that term is someone from the empire. Natives think it's magic spirits.
But, then, Alan can also be plenty dumb sometimes, like not realizing that Celeria thinks they're going to get married after he talks about ruling together and building a legacy because in her society that's how rule works, so perhaps expecting insight is too much from him lol.
Because the spy does know the tech but there is no way she doesn't know about the alien and why Alan does what he did.
The spy outright mentioned the bugs in a previous chapter IIRC.
I think the dude who suggested she's trying to get the evil king's army wiped out is right. They were gonna abort the mission if they failed to capture or kill Alan, and now they're about to waltz into a prepared trap with sentry guns.
