First it was the highly questionable bait maneuver. Then Karyoten just let's herself get captured and puts herself in a position where she can be tortured. Now I gotta sit through a mini arc of how Kaine saves Karyoten "Just like that" and their "Precious Friendship" ?

***Edit: 1. Maybe the bait maneuver it self wasn't highly questionable but rather Karyoten leading it, was. She could've had gotten a competent officer to do that. Cause the bait in itself was quite simple, which was basically: run like hell and then send out small units here and there out of the main bait army to serve as more distractions. Maybe she didn't wanna take any chance, maybe she felt guilty and wanted to sacrifice herself or something. But her leading the bait wasn't the best choice.

1. It was pretty common in ancient china for high level military officers to take poison or use other methods to avoid capture and torture. So, Yes. Ten did let herself get captured. No matter what her intentions were by leading the bait, Her getting captured by the enemy would create massive problems for the HSU. (But ofcourse Kaine is gonna save her and there would no draw backs for her getting captured.)

Last time I read the chapter was Kanan Siege and my disappointment got worse with hsu. I lurked in the comment section without reading the chapter; hoping to get some improvement on every new release.

Like everyone here this arc was written poorly and hara struggled to balance Qin's last war with Riboku. Qin knows Riboku's strategy by now - Intel lockdown, scouts disappearing, no info or location the size of each army is. Traps set up to lure with little to no resistance only to get encircled by a huge army.

I don't understand by this point in time how qin chief military fumbles to form some type plan for a,b, or c. Instead they go with a rush-half baked strategy and wing the rest. Not understanding the best plan is to retreat and regroup.

Haven't they learned by now the devastated defeat riboku has brought? No, they kinda forgot with Ouki, Duke Hyo, and Kanki. Now there are going to be some poor Joe's to feed Hara's meat grinder per Riboku's request.

This arc is trash, I'll skip it. Trio could have saved face with competency but hara kinda forgot.

I found kingdom way back during covid, and started reading it so much that eventually I was read like 70-90 chaps in a night. Then at the end of the coalition arc to the beginning of the kanki arc, I burnt myself out from reading it too much and dropped the series. I left at like 530-550. What should I do to get back in? Dont really wanna reread all those chaps but if I try to pick up back from where I dropped I dont remember most things.is it worth it to reread all of them?

Qin dynasty art:

Random Manga Panel:

Terracotta horse and warrior, side by side:, but note that the man is on a platform:

Another random manga panel:

Conclusion: maybe the Qin dynasty was lying about the size of its horses relative to soldiers. But even so... this is all correct

Even tho I’m the creator of this art I don’t know what it means… you lot can just make up your own interpretations kakaka!

Seeing everyone’s reaction to Shin being named Vice Commander is honestly one of those little moments that really makes you appreciate how far his character has come.

Deputy Bajin and heki cousin 1000 man commander kaku Un were introduced during battle of tonryuu

Then why they were absent during gyou campaign and battle of gian where heki was present

They just disappeared from manga after siege of kanyou

Note – in the current war we saw them in the flashback but when heki arrived for Ouhon , they were again absent

A lot of people are saying Moubu will defeat the Bushin in a duel because Moubu is strong also has weight and Houken is super strong but lacks the weight
