So,

It really feels like some sort of planned betrayal. Why else would they wait to tell them they are packing to leave?
Because the last time they informed their host of their intentions to leave, merchants and goods suppliers stopped selling them the materials needed to leave. So once it was established that there was a conspiracy too prevent them from leaving, they figured out a way to beg, intimidate, or steal the needed supplies to do so anyway. Only now that they have gotten it, all that is left is to leave before some other roadblock is erected in their path to keep Shuri close to the princess.

Yeah, definitely. I just think that there’s no reason to keep Shuri out of the loop on the plans.

I expect that he is a distraction for the princess while they slip away. They’ll justify leaving him behind as being for his own good.

I doubt he will be left behind (no way they're going to leave their only good cook!) but they know that Shuri is too kind-hearted and unstained by death, so they want to spare him the details, which may likely involve getting their hands bloody in order to escape, and Altros will be key to that plan.

one part of the trick to keep a large force stuck is to not allow them the full degree of resources needed to move. it doesnt matter if the process is stalled at 80% or 50% of whats needed, just that they never reach 100%.

I'm wondering if they had to purge early the less desirable portion of their troop to meet the balance needed to leave...

I guess we will find out in the next 2 sub-chapters?

Aight, we bout to bail out of this shit hopefully under the guise of night then? Lord forbid we ain't getting progress by indulging that brat any further. 💢💢💢

And also we need to get past future scene for our okama altros gdi so we could also see what secret that priestess has.

.....Also looking at some miroton presentation when I look it up doesn't look appealing.

O . o;

No, think you got it all wrong, or least hope you are. The Mercs are very much so attached to their camp cook and councilor and doubt they would leave him behind.

If I had to guess, I would say it's more that he isn't all that good at subterfuge. So was left out of the planning to avoid him leaking any information that would prevented their escape.

Sure it's a slight breach of trust, and it does deprive them of his input, but sometimes operational security means leaving people in the dark.

One thing I've come to appreciate about this manga, is that it doesn't pull its punches about the realities of the setting.
Many mercenaries are scum and they need a hard hand to keep them as straight and narrow as possible.
Altrous really is doing one of the most important jobs in the Company. Even if it's something that's constantly weighing on them.
