Yondome wa Iya na Shizokusei Majutsushi - Vol. 10 Ch. 42 - A Breach in the Wall

[spamtrashed]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into scanlating for us! (^_^)

Reminder that the general is from the Amid Empire and is actually planning on this invasion ultimately failing, or at least resulting in heavy casualties, because one of their goals is to reduce the power of the Mirg Shield-nation, where Chezare and most of the forces were drafted from. The actual job of killing Vandalieu, as far as the general concerned, is solely up to the vampires.

Mostly yes, but to be a little more complete:

Amid Emperor: Reduce Mirg's military power to avoid a possible future Coup. The previous attack in Talosheim also had this intention, but they had too many losses to even consider it a win from their side.

Spoiler

He doesn't know that the plan suggested by Mauvid is related to Vampires, but seems suspicious on the background, still,

He expects something relatively "easy" in this crusade.

Alda Religion (Gordan): Alda sent an Oracle about "Shadows of the Demon King lurking beyond the Mountain Range", Gordan assumed this was the Dhampir he was looking for.

Spoiler

Alda doesn't know much besides that Yupeon suffered (Yupeon only felt pain, he doesn't know what happened, he doesn't have memories of the soul that was destroyed), but

Gordan actually got it right.

Vampires: Kill Van, Eleonora and Sercrent (They don't know about Soul Break, they think both betrayed). Also collect some heroic bodies like Borkus' if possible for Gubamon.
They want the army to be mostly destroyed, and then they will block the entrance.

Spoiler

They do not want any more people going to the Mountain Range, because they could entice the Pure Breed Vampires in Vida's side to act. For the 3 Pure-Breed Vampires worshipping an Evil God, they are aware that there are more than 3 Vampires on the same level on the other side.

Observation: Amid Empire is a Suzerain state to Mirg Kingdom, thus Mirg Kingdom is a Vassal state to the Amid Empire.

Mauvid: Working with Vampires to become an immortal Vampire himself. He is an entity from the Amid Empire, meaning, he is the one in command overall, and he doesn't care about the Mirg Kingdom.

Chezare Legston: He is from one of the main Military Families in Mirg, Palpapek is from another family in the same position, so he could be said to be 2nd in command in this army. He is the one who knows the least of everything that is ongoing.

Riley: Is aware of the Vampires and Mauvid's plans, thus he is following their plans. He was used by Palpapek to limit the number of soldiers being sent, but he thinks he is the one getting one over Palpapek. His true objective is just the spear and to become famous as a successor to Mikhail, the one who died in the previous invasion to Talosheim 200 years ago.

yep so it makes sense that they got angry due to a religous thing also do the people know that the spear has it's own conscience, it's own brain like it's a living thing?

Common soldiers probably do not know, but religious knights are likely to understand that.

Vampires:

You might want to put a lot of spoiler tags in your answer.

Spoiler: About vampires

They might also realize that the pure breed vampires in Mountain Range are stronger, because they have classes, while the three outside it have lost them.

Which is the weirdest part about the temple knights breaking down into a frothing mass... Every historical religious warrior order has one single thing in common: Discipline.

Constantinople might disagree...
In fact, even in general... I don't even know where you got that idea.

I've a feeling you have a different idea about "Constantinople"..
Mine's the corrupt, decadent, infighting mess, whose military and political relevance had long faded, and whose only tactical relevance remained as a strategic choke/staging point for any campaign into the middle-east.

If anything, "Constantinople" was more of a hindrance to the crusades than an aid, even when they were requesting military aid , and it was sidestepped as soon as european forces managed to secure proper staging harbours.

The human army have just executed the world’s largest self-limiting career move.

The higher ups know more than the normal soldier, who thought they were just going there to get their spear back and maybe some extra treasures.

They didn't knew there was an enemy besides wild monsters, nor that whatever they would face would have any chance against their army. Their report about the Old Wall shows that, and it was after seeing the real wall that things got real for them.

The invasion army think they fighting a normal monster and the Dhampir is just a dumb savage brat, so they think its enough to just brute force it. The monk is the only one who know how elusive the Dhampir can be, but he actually among the first that started to lose it lol. Break the fake Ice Edge is really a good strategy 🤣

In short: They're doing a Putin.

I thought the high priest is the smart one in the army but he easily got triggered too.. lol

Intelligence doesn't make you immune against provocation and being emotional is kinda a human thing...

Also, people like to forget that fanatics are anything but stoic, else they wouldn't be fanatics!

Also, also, they're cultists totally submerged in their religion and it's dogma and Van just (seemingly) broke one of their national treasures. It's an insult and a taunt, both to their religion and military and as a religious, militaristic nation that REALLY stings.

The human army have just executed the world’s largest self-limiting career move.

Funny way of spelling "mass suicide".

I can see those 2 artisans together. They're totally on the same wavelength.

In short: They're doing a Putin.

I see it the other way around. Mirg Shield-Nation is a lot like Ukraine - being sent to certain death by the machinations of politicians and vampires. While Putin and Van are just doing what they can to defend against invading xenophobes.
