Also since we're at the end of the manga I will tell you what we are reading next. This was a pretty hardcore and rough manga, so let's do something more fun.
The next dump will be Asobi Asobase. I'm aware that it has a bit of a tonal shift at the end, but I look forward to reading it nonetheless

>>280634859
What is Seh

>>280635300
So he's the new Wolfram
He just doesn't smile

>>280635565
He's a serious professional

>>280635195
Maybe not the manga to say this but it's a shame Heinz went out like that.

>>280635565
I think he has a very nice smile.

>>280635565
Wolfram did it for the love of the game
Leopold does it for a living

>>280634859
I feel like they're changing their battering chants every time

>>280635195
Brutal

>>280635264
This is how you lose the faith of your subordinates

>>280635310
Thanks OP
I will judge Asobi Asobase purely on whether it's funny faces are as good as Shonan Junai Gumi's

>>280637303
Lolwut? Leopold is the first manager in this manga not to act insane. Firing your local magistrate because he got his castle taken is perfectly reasonable

>>280637422
Women aren't generally treated well in war, and no man is going to want to move his life somewhere where his wife and daughters may be taken from him, while his lord happily lets them go
He doesn't have to mobilise the entire army to save two PoWs, but not being overly cold helps

>>280637481
Leopold is in the middle of something. He has no time to send men away to find some girls. His army needs to dismantle the castle and follow up on the rebel army.
As for having your wife and daughter taken, it's simply one of the risks of the job. Crusader lords took their families with them to frontier forts like Aleppo and the Krak de Chevaliers, so it's hardly a deal breaker

>>280637610
>He doesn't have to mobilise the entire army to save two PoWs, but not being overly cold helps
Just a quick 'yeah sure' and then sending him back to Austria would do the trick

>>280637776
He's gonna know if you lie. It's better to be upfront and tell him no

>>280634835
That can't be good.

>>280635069
such a pleasure to see habsburg hard workers

>>280635132
KWAB

>>280635195
splitting headache
also, he looks like he's wearing a fur hat in the first panel

>>280635310
Why not Silver Nina? You've been putting it off for years now.
Also I wanted to do AA

>>280634895
gee, just everyone seems to have access to Greek fire these days, despite the Greeks having forgotten about it for 200 years
>>280635310
thanks, OP. It looks like I'm not the one who should lead the Swiss rebellion

>>280635310
Thank you for posting.

>>280635565
Wolfram did it because it made him smile
Leopold does it because he has an obligation

>>280634916
They truly went down in a blaze of glory.

>>280635195
That's a lot of brain!

>>280635310
Wolfram keeps on giving blows from the grave. What a guy!
Thx mate.

>>280637303
Everyone would have expected him to be killed. This is being nice.

Man Leopold really didn't take a single chance, he utterly crushed them without giving them any way to do anything.

>>280635310
Well, fuck.
Thanks OP

>>280635195
Truly mind boggling.

>>280643889
of course; if it was your station, you could not allow any lingering ideas that this sort of thing would ever be possible again, else the peasants would attempt it any time you rode out to attend any of the Imperial officiations

>>280635195
F Schwyz. You were a real one.

>>280635310
>Ask something if you can think of it
No.

>>280643889
well that's just him being pragmatic and it makes sense on a very practical level

>>280639226
early bird gets the worm

>>280634821 (OP)
Thanks

With such a huge army, Leopold can't lose in any open field battle.

Thanks for reading everyone

>>280654754
Morning OP

Leopold quite literally did nothing wrong. He is just protecting his God-given realm.

>>280656928
He didn't do anything wrong so far.

LIVE!

>>280654754
Good evening, OP.

>>280635310
>Asobi Asobase
>Wolfsmund
Both are asshole comedies, basically. They are practically the same.

>>280652093
What if I just wanna read Silver Nina already?

>>280635221
At least he wasn't brutally tortured.

>>280664943
No time to torture when he's on a tight time schedle to crush the mountain peasant rebels.

Chapter 30

>>280666255
Hello OP

Hope you have a nice day

>>280666317
There were blacks in medieval Switzerland?

>>280666571
It's like Wolfram never left

>>280666578
It's a very multiethic region.

>>280666651
He said Jungfrau, not junge Frau.

And that's it for today
Leopold is a good fair and honest man

Ask something if you can think of it

Thank you for reading
Previous chapter: >>280634821 (OP)

>>280666751
See. He isn't like Wolfram.

>>280666775
Thanks OP
Where'd all the questions go

>>280666700
In the old Swiss and Austrian and German/Swabian dialects, you might have trouble understanding each other.

>>280666405
Yeah, about warning Heinz...

>>280666582
Wolfram did it for fun, Leopold is just pragmatic. He wouldn't torture women and children for no real reason.

Leopold should have built a mobile miniature torture castle that functions like Wolfram's fun castle, so that he can torture mountain rebels on the way.

>>280666493
is everyone in this rebel army retarded ?

>>280667723
Compassion!

>>280667723
They're stupid peasants. Why do you think aristocracy always looked down on them? People refuse to acknowledge all the bad parts of the have-nots just because the haves are assholes.

>>280668586
>aristocracy always looked down on them
stupid landowners who can afford horses always being on the high ground. they're too smug for their own good.

>>280666775
Gotta go fast.
Cheers OP

>>280667723
Rebels usually are you know

>>280635195
Ketchup'd

I wish I could kill habsburgian knights and every mercenary willing to work for them with my bare hands.
Alas, I will have to rely on crossbows.

>>280666775
These people suck at rebelling.
Thanks OP

For real, where did these random black dudes come from? Did the author just feel like drawing them?

>>280674702
They delivered the Greek Fire from the middle east

>>280674702
They might be manga stand-ins for some of her real life friends and acquaintances who wanted to somehow star in her manga.

>>280666317
the fuck? I thought it was doing a fast forward to the 20th century for a second

>>280666524
nice t-shirt

>>280675238
Me too. Their clothes are way tighter than everyone else's.

>>280666775

>Ask something if you can think of it
You don't answer so I won't.

>>280674702
Some central europeans are pretty swarthy

>>280666751
Nice hair.

>>280681956
Not to mention some of the southern places.

>>280666255
My HERO Leopold!

>>280666571
First time I'm learning about this. Neat.

Thanks for reading everyone

>>280686041
Morning OP

>>280666685
These guys are alright

>>280687505
I don't think they're alright anymore

>>280687712
They will be remembered as heroes forever.

>>280666255
Pretty cool that the main villain is on the cover for the final volume.

>>280674702
Italy

>>280686041
Good evening, OP.

Soon

Chapter 31

>>280697830
Hello OP
Congratulations

>>280697838
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsOwQiA2Ss4
Hope you have a nice day

>>280697967
Should the leader really be at the forefront of something like this, or any casual movement

>>280697861
How old was this guy suppose to be ?

>>280698038
In real life he was 24 or 25

>>280697892
these guys look like they could deadlift a truck

>>280698104
Brutal

>>280697948
You really cant say Arabs are the only people that enjoy to blow themselves out, when you learn europeans used to do things like these

One guy with a crossbow hiding behind a rock instead of suiciding by knight and their problems could be solved

And that's it for today
The main battle approaches

Thank you for reading
Previous chapter: >>280666255

>>280698201
Seriously, why is Leopold just hanging out at the front like this
Leaders go first and all, but this isn't even battle. It's just unnecessary danger

The Full Moon watchalong will start in about 2 hours. We will watch CITY half an hour before

>>280698211
Thanks OP
Where's my question

>>280698266
Nothing I can ask

Don't worry guys, I'm sure Heinz will come to the rescue

>>280698304
How am I meant to know what to think now

>>280697874
>enemies got that close before anyone noticed
Fire your scouts right now

Halbeard-using peasants? Trample them!

>>280698139
Now that's a badass.

>>280698211
Thank you for posting.

>>280697830
Nice horse

>>280698211
There has to have been a better way to stall them.
Thanks OP

A whole chapter of just trampling peasants.

>>280698201
>>280698232
Well 1. a plan with so many moving parts can't count on your enemy being a retard and...
2. the plan was to fuck up all the knights so it was bigger than just getting Leopold

>>280706735
It's not enough. There need to be more.

>>280705078
They are just peasants, they aren't educated in warfare stratagem like anon

>>280709850
If only anon was there.

>>280634821 (OP)
thank you

>>280697991
It's stupid that he is in the head of the army. But I guess if he backed down now in front of a small force then it will be a hit to the army's morale.

>>280698211
I'm gonna say that this is most likely a trap.
Thx mate.

>>280697905
is this formation real? it looks so silly

>>280698191
every nation in the world has its fair share of sacrificial last stands, the swiss probably didn't do it like this though historically. remember that this particular depiction is written by a nip. a culture with history of glorifying suicidal combat tactics

Thanks for reading everyone

>>280716587
Morning OP

>>280697919
Gorgeous hair on this guy

The dump today will be a bit earlier. We'll start in around 2 and a half hours

No sense in dying now

>>280718489
This is clearly a trap. OP is laying an ambush.

Chapter 32

Hope you have a nice day

>>280722860
The author's fond of this move

>>280723018
You know, earlier on I thought this would be a sort of anthology manga with each chapter or chapters focusing on the various people who pass through Wolfsmund, or failed to

>>280723111
It'd blow to be that guy

>>280723141
Comedic timing

And that's it for today
It's an absolute massacre

Thank you for reading
Previous chapter: >>280697830

>>280723235
Thanks OP
Not sure the Swiss can win this one

>>280722876
What the hell did they expect?

>>280723235
Drop some logs on the or something, dude. This is a shit strategy.
Thanks OP

>>280723216
Does that shit 'actually' happen?
You hear every now and then that you shouldn't take cold/scottish showers because it's bad for your heart but it just seems far fetched

>>280723964
You are underestimating just how cold the lake is
Normal body temperature straight to hypothermia is extremely bad for you

>>280723235
Thank you for posting.

>>280723235
>It's an absolute massacre
Imagine the aftermath.

Where is Wolfsmund?

>>280728162
Somewhere in Switzerland

>>280723235
Ah yes a narrow passage for horses while away from your infantry with a huge cliff above you, nothing could go wrong I'm sure.

>>280723409
That halberds > cavalry lances.
Unfortunately, it turned out that cavalry lances > halberds.
Need something better for the future. Like, pikes...

>>280723111
>Wow it took 3 of you to kill me

I do really like how dangerous knights feel in this manga

>>280730373
They're really elite units

I don't think the rebels are going to make it.

>>280729632
Well, cavalry lances were designed to break infantry lines so they were required to be as long as possible to outrange pikes and other polearms.

>>280724032
People don't know how traumatizing cold shock is. Your mind just seizes up.

>>280723018
>>280723037
Damn Hapsburgs and their magic flying horses

>>280722931
They never fucking learn.

>>280732264
Trust the plan.
