Kinda weird to call him being out for revenge when they are part of the invading force that has been pillaging, raping and killing everyone in their way. The other side has every right to want to desecrate the highserk army
No matter the reason, it is still called revenge. Well, imo, if the enemy doing something outrageous, it doesn't mean you have the very right to do the same. For cliche reason it's called 'You just become the very enemy you fight. You become like them.'
And as far as i remember Walm squad didn't do any of that, at least not on screen. Some battalion members sure did it, but does it justify the enemy to treat the whole battalion as the same?

you should go to https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/episode/3270375685457628827 create an account and buy some chapters, you can buy 120 points for like 0.75 euros, or similar amount in dollars, and some chapter cost 35 points and the latest something like 70. Buying even just one chapter would be really good, the site is in japanese, but if you have a phone i would suggest you to download lens, and use the camera of your phone to take a photo of the screen in japanese and translate it with lens, its good enough to understand where to click in the site.

So this is the best place to support them directly?

I'm baffled you can defend murdering invaders with such sophistry. His group is crossing the borders into not just one but multiple different kingdoms. Starving their enemies to death, murdering the remaining troops (as explicitly mentioned in one of the earlier chapters). It's also mentioned they served as the "security enforcing" troops, which is an excuse to pillage and rape the population. The latter was done explicitly and the former was implied it would happen again when they said an earlier territory was ravaged by war despite formerly being a very fertile land
There is no defending an invading army unless the opposition was planning an attack first

In my rather stupid defend, i am not defending the invading troop, i am defending Walm group specifically and his right for taking revenge for his 'appear-innocent' friends. A great tool to invoke reader emotions.
In real life, sure i am not gonna defend invading troop and their war crimes, but we discuss war manga here so i just apply war manga logic. All the points i presented are often appear in war manga and isekai war manga, you know Japan and their war sophistry, but the real thing they did is total menace.

Rita lived this time not because of Walm's mercy, but because of his hatred.

Now that Walm, the walking flames of hell, has nothing to lose, he is going to fuck EVERYONE up. And them isekai kids? Fuck them kids! I want them to be end up even worse than when Walm broken that adventurer girl.

tbh not really. She hasnt really contributed much to the war effort. The 3 heroes that done his team in are from a different nation that just wants to reap the benefits on a foreign warfront. She's basically only a figurehead for a fallen nation at this point. Out of all the enemy she's the least to blame for what happened to his crew.
True but she is an enemy nonetheless. And the enemy must be killed.

Highserk was attacked first, do you not remember? They won so they counter invaded.

Google has build in translation feature, even on phone.

Did you straight up not read most of the manga? The rape was explicitly forbidden and heavily punished, and how is it Walms fault for the actions of complete strangers?
Nobody even says Walm is a morally righteous hero or smth. If you can't read stories that aren't just black and white, then this is especially not something for you.

It's so funny when someone tells another person to read the manga and says things that just don't make sense about it. The punishment was clearly shown as something extremely rare and the event as a daily occurrence. How nice of them to punish it once
It's also said in ch1 that they waged war with one country in order to invade a second one so not sure where you take this "they were invaded first" from.
I'm just trying to make the people who say the other side are hypocrites or similar realize that only one side is responsible for everything that's happening. The story is interesting and I like reading it so it is for me. What I don't like is people misunderstanding what's going on

What Walm needs the most currently is a hug from an ice mage - he's (understandably) gone batshit crazy after seeing the fate of his friends!
Here's to hoping that it's just a superstition so they can find peace in death. Go, Go, Fire Ranger!

Thanks for the translations; I'm overjoyed that this series was picked up again!
