Orcsen Oukokushi ~Yaban na Orc no Kuni wa, Ikanishite Heiwa na Elf no Kuni wo Yakiharau ni Itatta ka~ - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

[TestAddress]

It’s probably real.
If I’m not mistaken, Gustav is the first king. Dineru met him before in battlefield nearly 8 decades ago and they’re still more barbarian than now. So he did the reforms in less than a century. And rather than lustful, they’re more of glutton who need a lot of food. Other race are not afraid of being raped, they're afraid of getting eaten literally. One of the dark elves later commented on how the orcs have developed refrigeration spell and logistic system to distribute goods exactly because orcs need a lot of food. That combination allows them to produce and then deliver the food across their kingdom.

They’re militaristic country for sure.
This is from chapter 3,

Spoiler

After talking more to Gustav and seeing how the country operates, she realised the country itself is moved by military. All of Gustav’s closest aides are the members of General Staff HQ (a concept they adopted from human hero they faced during battle 6 decades ago). Meanwhile, their military complex are always ready for full scale war against the elves, and what would surely come after that, war with human kingdoms. Right now they have friendly relationship with human, but if war breaks out, they know they must be ready.

If I don’t misread, Gustav later told Dinerus that magic and physical strength barely count these days. It’s already the era of steel and gunpowder. Magic is integrated into technology in their world.

Nogami is one of those military-genre manga artists, especially world war era stuffs. Had drawn airplanes, tanks, warships, and flying loli in panties.

Loli in panties - planes - tanks - warships. Ok I found out who drew Strike Witches for Studio GONZO.

[...] the warfare looks early 19th century.

You mean late 19th/early 20th century.

rescuing 2000 people across multiple raids is kind of incredible.

Page 57 states "about twelve thousand" (12000).

Really makes you wanna pledge your loyalty to Gustavchad

 

[ItchyBombastic]

Soooo nazi elf

 

[Greedygreen]

Ah yes the überelves

 

[Sunspawn]

I am gonna bet the author is a fan of Carlo Zen's LN.

 

[IvanDFakkov]

Mofo going all NAZI!!!!! when genocides like this happened all the time, and by the orcs' drip, they're clearly inspired by Prussia/Imperial Germany. Tell me when the Japanese had that pointy helmet the orc general wears.

 

[420LoliPolice69]

So the Orcs are Germans while the Elves are Russian? Makes sense.

 

[Kampfarsch]

le bad guys are actually le good guys

uhuh

They somehow saved 12k out of 20k people even though they came back like months later and the elves didnt seem to have any goal other than shooting dark elves in the face

....uhuh
This is some straight garbage isnt it

 

[mindlessBiped]

Can we briefly talk about the political/sociological impact an immortal queen would have on a mortal kingdom? One that fought these martial peoples' ancestors over 120 years ago?

The sheer depth of first-hand accounts she could call on would instantly make her the leader of whatever conservative faction exists

 

[Dust]

people should stop projecting on this ffs

let it develop

 

[danbellucci]

Damn darkness sub-elves. Of course they would have no problems with selling their bodies to a pig! This is why those sub-evles are mere animals who need to be wiped out like vermin.

 

[BCS]

Why is everyone losing their minds because a manga tried to attempt a slightly different setting

 

[YaboiWeebworld]

TOTAL LEAF LOVER DEATH

 

[nivad]

cool!

 

[theo1996]

Just discovered this title it even has its own small military doujin event, bery nice, thx for the TL

 

[Covefiel]

Noble swines' probably the U.S.?

more like Soviet Union

 

[LordofAlI]

Ok so we got nazi elves trying to genocide the dark elves?

and the orcs are good guys in contrast to the light skinned elves who while look human and good but actually sick af.

You know, since I am a white supremecist, it's very difficult to read this
It would be nice, if the colours were reversed

On a more serious note, I do dislike the over-the-top villainy of the elves here. I also dislike the naiveness of the dark elves. The tech also seems weird to me. It all feels too forced. The feelings are forced on us. The elves are purposefully dehumanised, so that when they are killed it doesn't seem like a bad thing for example. But the tech also seems very out of place. The invention of guns should LOONNNG since caused the extinction of at least one group of humanoids in this world.
