Shinju no Nectar - Vol. 10 Ch. 42 - A Call for Bloodshed

The Colonel must be some Old Guard, because you don't just charge a Star Fort.

@Rin2k In case you forgot, all those dem supplies are inside the walls.
Unless the reverse trap is one of them (which is what I'm expecting here), we gonna need this colonel that obviously moves up the ladder by connection to step aside and let Kai lead the operation with proper strategies.

True but I do think there are benefits to drawing this out for atleast a week or two. 1st is that we know that these are drugged up students and not disciplined soldiers. The longer this goes on, even without starvation, the more likely that they come off the drugs and and are more open to inciting internal rebellions. Ofcourse if they have a massive drug stockpile that changes things but even then keeping all of those students on drugs will take a lot of drugs lol.

2nd is probably a bit more far fecthed but given that the students are nobles, you effectively also have alot of the kids of political opponents to the queen hostaged. One way for the queen to maintain her position now would be to claim that she doesnt want to unleash her forces and masscre the students, while using the threat of violence against the children of her opponents to keep them in line.

Except he did not, as it was explained the frontal assault was diversion for the main, flanking assault. And to be honest, it was the best choice here since he couldn't simply bomb his way in the stronghold. Which is why, kinda paradoxically, it was unsuccessful, because the enemy could predict such move and do his preparations. Moreover, based on the conversation between the leaders, Franz and Celestia, they made their preparations for assasination attempt, which is another good option.

Btw, I'm still suspicious of the nurse. Because, AFAIK, it was not explained how did they manage to get the blood in academy without anyone noticing.

@lastKANAshimi
It's generally disadvantageous to wait out siege, because while you are waiting at the gates, the rest of the world is not. I have played enough strategy games to know that. 😉
Second, it's also bad to let rebelion aflame for any lenght of time since you might be deserted by the opportunists who look to better their fortunes and your political enemies might use it as pretext to depose you. Given the fact that Rezalia's hold of the throne is not as strong as it should be is a considerable factor here.

Yes, the children of her opponents are here, but so are children of her supporters. So any threat to massacre could, and most likely would, be used against her.

 

[Mangon]

honestly this is such a stupid arc, the plot here is beyond belief, somehow drug runners take over and 'infect' the whole campus with mind altering drugs and orgies, now these brainwashed people are staging a coup, ya thats believable

 

[DrHizzle]

I may be wrong, but in most cases, wouldn't a direct order from the queen/king for someone to be put in charge of an operation supersede a difference in ranks?

 

[Serkket]

Killing them all wouldn't be bad at all.
The elite and nobles usually have more than one child, all that it would do is delay whoever would inherit those titles a couple years at most.
Therefore the obvious answer is to suck some tits and mass murder everyone inside.

damn that acid pussy

 

[toastedguy]

????????

 

[Seraphus]

Well done, Colonel! You're exactly what we've come to expect!

 

[flanman]

this arc is so long

 

[kwendy]

Withholding the informaton about drugs involved makes really big impact on desision making here.
Can't really blame colonel here.

 

[JaxunHero]

It feels so long due to the long window of releases but in manga time of the story it’s like the same day or within a week’s time?

 

[Kreate]

What kind of inane stupidity is this? There is just so many bad and boring parts to this arc that. It lives purely on incompetence from so many characters just to have the slightest shot of working.
