[beThereShortly]

Is it finally here? The build up is insane, next chapter has to be the start of the war.

I AM LOVING THIS MUAHAHAHAHAAHAH

Reading raw perhaps?

wonder if there is gonna be a prince born after the war!

Wouldn’t the chance be very low?
Orcs had very low birth rate, and elves don’t give birth, they just picked up baby elves found under trees.

maybe the isekai'd orc king is using tech knowledge from our world to speed development up but notably the maxim gun doesn't exist in this universe (yet)

Author seems to avoided the fate of being too dependent on isekai knowledge for technology development. The machine gun in previous episode seems to be developed independently by human native to this world. The general staff is also said to be modelled after human’s creation.
There’s also possibility that war had been fought with guns since even before Gustav was born.

Oh you're right! I forgot about the elves with that, the forst pretty much just give them babies!! Guess you're right they might be not compatible, shame would have been interesting to see if was born an orc, elf or a mix

Actually, since elves originally had males, and the whole "new elves are produced by trees" was something done by an isekai human-turned-elf-queen, maybe it's possible to wind that back and allow for normal procreation again?
Because otherwise, since the light elves cut down all of the trees that produce dark elves, Dineru's people are the last generation of their race.

Guns are already used for over a century in world, that battle of Rozalind is fought with musket and napoleonic line infantry, so we're in the equivalent of late Victorian/pre WW1 era

swear i've seen this chapter

Funnily, I feel the same. But on checking date of this chapter uploaded, it verily is odd.

Please author, keep Nerina alive... 🙏

 

[jarjaxle]

Time to burn those White Elfs Down, White Elfs Down, White Elfs Down.....Time to Utter Slaughter of those White Elfs....Slaughter them ALLL!!!!!!

 

[wakanana]

lol poor soldiers aren't even told until they get to camp.

It's quite an achievement to have so many chapters on logistics without it being boring. Ascendance of a Bookworm is the only other example I can think of.

The writing in this story is excellent. Japanese writers usually only create superficial decorations and dislike delving into simulation and realism. I occasionally compare this story to Hitoner, even though the genres are different, there are some similar elements. The world of Hitoner completely falls apart if you poke it even a little, but I don't feel the same way about the world of Orcsen.

It's a matter of percentiles. Most created stuff is garbage in any field.

Orcsen historians will note that Gultina and Nerina are very close friends.

I agree. But the weird part is that the percentage of good writing in the LN's military genre is much higher than in any other LN's genre in Japan. It's almost like this genre attracts good writers. Or at least writers who know history.

Well, I guess it would have to be so. A non-sentimental person won't care to write romance stories, right?

If you aren't into the whole logistics stuff, you wouldn't be drawn to making a military focused story. And if you are, you've probably already read a bunch on that stuff for fun by the time you begin writing.
