[Chizan]

I'm a bit worried about the village...

 

[RexNemorensis]

Meanwhile, back in Arnheid...

 

[Eighty-six]

"Leave!"
"But leave your things behind!"

Priorities: these guys have 'em.

 

[YalkYalk]

Great chapter, scared about what’s going to happen next. Thanks so much for the translation as always 🙏

 

[Thoshy]

I'm so worried, despite Thorfinn agreeing to leave and prioritizing peace the war-lust hasn't left the Natives.

 

[Blitzor]

I had a feeling Gudrid would go into labour this chapter

"Thorfinn!! Let me fuck your wife and enslave your child! or else we will start a war!!!"
"Ok... Since this is what will avoid war...."

 

[Theozilla]

While Niskawaji'j says she isn't sick any longer, do her discolored hands indicate otherwise? Or do some survivors retain permanently discolored skin even after recovering?

Considering how the allied tribes vastly outnumber the villagers I have to wonder how many would/may be stubborn enough to try and stay and fight?

 

[5H4B0N3R]

Seems like no matter what Thorfinn gets, war shall take its course.

 

[Grimmycoffee]

I wonder how terrible the disease has been for the other tribes.

 

[SpiritusNox]

"LEAVE OR WE SHALL HAVE TO FIGHT!!!"

"Okay we won't fight you."

"Huh...okay.....but, I mean.....after all the trouble of getting all these warriors together.....we were kinda expecting to get to fight somebody......."

I guess we are not going the alternate history route then.

I would have liked to see what Yukimura-sensei imagined for a “peaceful” settling of the Americas by Europeans. Maybe the scope is just too enormous for manga-form.

Presumably not nearly as bad as Niskawaji'j's tribe considering how many potential combatants (at least 300 according to Thorfinn) came to the gathering/meeting.

Yeah it doesn't seem like Yukimura will go full-blown Tarantino alternate history.

Also somewhat ironically, while there have been lethal large-scale skirmishes and conflicts in Iceland, (according to Wikipedia at least) Iceland has never participated in a full-scale war or invasion in its recorded history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Iceland

Sigurd sorta referenced that during his fight with his father (Halfdan), I wonder if that historical factoid will play a role in keeping the story from having a completely downer ending?

 

[Xenvex]

It just seems like war is inevitable no matter how hard Thorfinn seems to avoid it, I imagine one of the sides will try to fight no matter what. I'm just wondering which side strikes first

 

[Joel_Joestar]

I'm so worried, despite Thorfinn agreeing to leave and prioritizing peace the war-lust hasn't left the Natives.

not just the natives but also the settlers, none of both sides will like the idea of leaving with empty hands after all the work

 

[YerRob]

There is exactly 0% of a chance he can convince everyone to leave quietly and peacefully.
Time for war.

 

[FlorianGran]

If we're not going with alt history then I wonder what's gonna happen. Thorfinn just goes home and never accomplishes his dream?

Well, he's probably on Newfoundland, and they have found traces of settlements there. Your guess is as good as mine.

I could say a lot about this, as a Canadian, but this is not the place nor the time.
