Clayman's "plan" (which isnt really his) is dependent on all the other lords being total idiots, he literally just spouted a bunch of nonsense without any evidence besides the clearly biased sources of his subordinates.
It is almost funny how bad he is at manipulating, he is only depending on luck strikes and simply having a strong card (as far as he thinks), and even then he believes that no one has a brain to see more than what he thinks he controls.
Ok, personal opinion, but Shuna fight didn't thrill me, it was too much of "show your card and I show that I have a counter already" type of logic, I know I shouldn't wait for total originality on this story and I am not, but the "emotional background" linked to holy magic was really forced.
Well fun chapter anyway, still waiting for Clayman's reckoning for punching the dragon loli.
Thanks for the work on this series.
