A lot of small details are excluded from the LN. But most of it doesnt really contribute much to the main story (consider it like a side story). Im just happy as long as the main story progress steadily
@Halo ong whenever an author puts in a play it just detracts from the story, why not keep the main story going and give more insight to the characters normally like wtfff
Their goal is to attack the church in Longsong to steal their supplies of THE pills, as well as more or less capturing the western area.
Because now that Garcia is gone the church is slowly cutting Timothy off and he's realizing it.
Once they get the pills they'll use it on some peasants they brought along to use as suicide charger against Border Town.
Well, Roland's group know this is coming thanks ot Petrov's messenger + Lightning and Maggie's daily scouting.
Before the group arrive, he already made some simple bunkers and put his soldiers inside.
Between Nightingale's revealing herself just to shoot someone then disappear again and Echo's imitating the knights' voice to give out fake orders, the enemy were in chaos.
And faced with the bunkers + the constant bullet fires, even the people who took the pills ran away in fear.
It's easy victory, but this reveal to Roland that Timothy is wasting his citizens' lives with this suicide soldiers tactic, and made Roland decide Timothy must be stopped.
All the skipped content was just supportive and not really essential. The pace of the manhwa is pretty good right now and I think the author is being very successful with the adaptation.
