Thank you translator-san

 

[darkomantis]

@Togashi_G
Good job translating this

 

[coldpray]

I find this queen somehow stupid. Being idealistic is stupid in its own way too. Wanted to read missing chapters, but if that's how this queen would behave then that's it I guess.

 

[talisay999]

much thanks mr translator

 

[Chaos_Knight]

She needs to get slapped again.... 😅

 

[Gabagu]

Queen stupid is the definition of enlightened centrism.

 

[henkingu]

thanks a lot for the chapter!

love this series

@Gabagu @coldpray Because preaching diplomacy is such a stupid thing. Better lay waste of the ground and burn settlements.
Well, words aside, it's the result that will define if she is stupid or not.

@Gabagu @coldpray
Naivette Idealist to be exact I think...

@kwendy
It depends on what kind of opponents that you have. Sometimes diplomacy just doesn't work if your opponents don't want to compromise.

Where'd these elf wizards come from

 

[ukimix]

Thanks a ton @Togashi_G . !!!!!

 

[kiigu]

Thanks for the translation! I think it will improve readibility if you go with all caps. I find the need to zoom in many times to read this. Good work otherwise.

@Raizel13
Sure, but as queen said "wierd things are wierd".
Even terorrists are being negotiated with. While it really is a bother and it's much more simple to loose some necks in translation, it does not mean the desire to resolve things without bloodshed is plain stupid by default. And she speculates by her flashback about her current enemy race being negotiable.

@kwendy Orks' battle thralls, Lizardmen? Sure, maybe if they kill enough Orks.
Orks themselves? Eh, those guys seem to have been raised in quite a screwed up society compared to all others in the story. These guys have had no moral qualms about poisoning entire countries (that's the lands they plan to conquer) or watching their own tribesmen succumb to the insanity poison. They torture or kill their prisoners for fun. They kill each other for sport. They search for things to kill. While it's good to be an idealist, Vivian sounds pretty dumb in this chapter. I don't think she had much moral struggle about killing mad Wompa Loompas and pretty sure she resorted to killing the mad monkey man (the black one) too. These are the guys who caused every bad thing too happen in the story, her desire to defend herself and her orders to her men to do the same without killing them aren't just stupid, they're suicidal. She doesn't sound much better than those gnome guys, Orks already found them once but they think that the best course of action is to hide instead of uniting with others? Give me a break. Unless she finds a perfect 100%-successful way to ask them to go away, stop poisoning and killing others and also release all of their slaves, the alliance's plan to kill them until they decide it's not worth it to keep attacking and remove the mastermind behind them sounds much better.

Well this was annoying. She sounds like a pontificating fourteen-year-old.

 

[Gabagu]

@Raizel13 Idealism isn't the problem, her stupidity where she believes violence used for defense in response to being targeted by violence is the problem. Idealism is great, stupid people compromise on idealism viewing compromise of morality as being more realistic in turn undermining fundamental human rights to achieve a negative peace while not addressing root problems. But the problem here is queen stupid is just really dumb, she's equating both sides being equal to each other for using violence. And this is a comic, so I'm not going to compare it to real world diplomacy in which case diplomacy is preferable.

@kwendy Not really, you can be extremely stupid and still get results. That's unrelated to queen stupid being mentally impaired.

 

[kwendy]

@InedibleSpook Again, we yet to see what will she do. The result will show if she really is stupid.
+ don't judge people by the ways they are having fun, lol. I mean, sure massacre of less developed [in military technologies] nations is pretty common throughout history, but it does not automatically makes things right in modern sense. So far she just noted obvious (from the perspective of modern human) moral dilemma, yet to deserve to be called stupid.
@Gabagu If stupid idea works it might not be stupid after all.

 

[Varler]

Thanks for the update!

I feel bad for best girl Olavie, though.
