Couldn’t they have turned off the monster wards initially, why let them blow up their walls?

Walls can be rebuilt, meanwhile if they come this close they will have no way to escape, which means you'll cause them such massive damage that at the very least they won't be coming back for a while.

Let's go!

What the fuck was the point of that shitty "captured" point?

Why is Sharon the commander in chief thought? The 2nd in command is supposed to be Selena.

What the fuck was the point of that shitty "captured" point?

In order to get the Alois/Berta army to attack the Great Demon Forest, so that King Alois could be taken out and the Berta Kingdom's army devastated so that the country could be taken over by Alan.
Alois wasn't going to attack unless they received a report that Alan has been captured by Berta.

Why is Sharon the commander in chief thought? The 2nd in command is supposed to be Selena.

Well, no, Captain Dhalsim is technically the second-in-command, determined back in Chapter 32.
But he understands that when it comes to actually taking advantage of the military assets of the city, that he is outclassed by Sharon and Selena.
According to Selena, Sharon knows the defense systems better than her, so Sharon is going to be in charge of command and control to coordinate the defenses.
Though the hairstyles of the twins are very similar from certain angles, so some confusion is easy to understand.

Probably to lure them out. Allan would have likely waited years to build up before taking back the kingdom. And the other side was cautious of Allan. But capturing him, they forced the conflict to expedite

An unprepared army fighting two fronts is easier to wipe out. Also, they want to take over the world and have no need of war mongering groups/states.

Man if only this wasn’t so rushed.

I mean the headcanon and tiny detail people here are having a field day, but as a normal reader the tension is just barely there. I don’t give a hoot about it being 3 or 4 walls.

But hey, here are some more panels to raise up edgy spy girl. And don’t forget characters talking in a meta way to the reader instead of to other characters.

I don’t have a huge problem with the things happening, I have a problem with how things are happening.

It’s like the author knows where he wants to get to the end, but didn’t have a detailed plan. Now the team is rushing through the prototype of an ending the novel author didn’t want to flesh out himself.

A pity, but I guess they didn’t want to take a step back and let the writing team work on it more. For whatever which reasons.
