I was really best up over Cirille!!! Had to throw my phone down for 5 minutes when she passed just to calm down.

[King ofJecrass] is next on the chopping block.

Enjoyed all three 'C's, nice to have contrast despite so many other threads I'd love to see progress. Liked the depiction of the effects of perpetual total-war on Rhir's society; rampant paranoia, obsessive administration, villainous acts venerated for their efficiency. Hard to extrapolate from earth history what the consequences of conflict over those timescales could be (this got me reading up on the Hundred Years War). We haven't yet seen much of Rhir's rank and file, unlike the other continents, so seems like lots of scope to continue to explore that.

( ; n ; )7 dam onion cutting ninjas. Amazing chapter and enjoy your break

I'd agree with you usually IF we ended up with a total massacre this chapter and only showing off how powerful Silvena was. The way Pirate wrote it at least it pushed forward a couple plot threads and introduced some new characters who didn't die all while introducing another old powerful foe we will have to confront later. For that I can give Pirate a pat on the back.

So? If the point of side chapter us to introduce new characters and world build that's fine. It's a waste to build these characters up to kill them at the end. Why bother reading/getting invested if it's they're a one off.

Raian

Great chapter. I always thought of the demons as maybe just a misunderstood faction until they seeded the ground they took.

Beth Rasmussen

Damn it Flora. >< .... the ending -- this is worse than what you did to the dirty dozen. :(

Osiris

Some of these characters were very old lmao

This is the kind of chapter that has me hooked. I cried and you showed me wrong. Last episode I was thinking about Crille as just a new person I don’t know or really care about. Slightly 2 dimensional. Then in this chapter you set me up to see such potential. I started to long for her and the rest hitting the walled cities. Then the final nail- that skill not only commanders but everyone that has lost someone dear longs for- and I was crying. For me this chapter was great. Totally motivating the arc. Beautifully showing the glory and meaningless of life. Behind every success story just as many that never was.

DasNiveau

Holy hell that was intense. Thank you, pirate.

Christie

That is actually very bad, really sorry. I thought since on the comments this is no secret it wouldnt be a problem. But if it is the first thing you see, you have no option in that. I will delete it now

Rincewind314

People will talk about the chapter in the comments section of the chapter. Be very careful about looking down.

Keding Yin

Spoilers :c First thing I saw as I came to get the password

Christie

It wouldnt be reasonable, thats true. I hope her real message reaches Invriss at least.

Jennifer Toledo

whoa..what a chapter!!! stay safe on vacation relax and recharge

Kurt A

I agree, Cirille should have lived, but her living wouldn't have made sense for the scene. She was the last major commander at the wall, and obviously Sylvania was hunting commanders, and there was no reasonable way for Cirille to survive her attack when the others didn't.

I think the king since he lived for so long he had A beef With one race so people hard to choose sides or something. The kingdom is committing genocide against the endangered races. If you are cornered to one side of the planet you will fight back . even a cute bunny will bite back.Forget about crelers eggs they have the right to magic virus 🦠 on those people . I think if the king could get rid of those people he calls demons he will turn on anything that is not human. already two species are against or do not get involved they are smart . It happens in the real world. I feel sorry for those people who are dying that came from other continent.

Deepak Kamlesh

Amazing chapter as always Pirate, thank you!

Hursha

Don't read the comments before reading the chapter.

Parker Groseclose

I think that was part of the point. A lot of her side storied have gotten predictable. Now every character is fair game.

Smaug

dude, spoilers! :(

DThornz

Ah so frustrating to lose Cirille most of all I think. Her class would have allowed for very interesting fighting dynamics if she had ended up joining Ilvriss. Now i'm suspicious of any new character you introduce in a side story. Their likelihood of surviving past the small mini-arc has dropped.

DThornz

At least it wasn't a TOTAL massacre, some actually managed to make it through.

Davis

Arbitrarily killing new characters isn’t failed protection of plot armor, it’s using plot as a weapon

Davis

Too bad you decided to kill the new characters you spent 75k words introducing. Very frustrating to read.

Colomor

Awesome chapter, really enjoy pirate's ability to write small day to day stuff and then switch over into massive epic type of engagements. However I wish the characters got a bit more development time before they were killed off. I just didn't feel the same type of connection to them as compared to Skinner deaths or Goblin deaths

PieceOfCode

I cry for Cirille. She would have done so good in Salazsar, especially with her combination with merish. But alas plot armor can't always win huh?

a.m.

Not sure where I was expecting this arc to go but I have to say it definitely wasn't this! Excited to see where this is going to lead to and how it will tie in with everything else. Have a restful break pirateaba, and thank you as always for your amazing work!

Osiris

Great chapter. Felt like the Earthers outside of Tom missed a huge opportunity. Dire situation, outnumbered, and facing a superior foe? Those are the situations where a [Hero] thrives! They did the sensible thing, but I won't be surprised if they lose the class.

Craig

We saw it said in story. There is a “justification” from thousands of years ago ... that doesn’t matter because of thousands of years of slaughter and resentment.

SabreToothTortseshell

Anyone else crying by the end of the chapter?

Durzo

That was really good. We got a glimpse into what the older generation were capable of and damn. Usually as time progresses the newer generation overtakes the older generation but in inn-world the whole world regressed drastically. So when an old monster like her pops up... I’d say you’d need a hero in times like this but seeing our [Heroes]... *cough*

Luca

Quite so. While one can argue that both sides in the conflict are varying shades of grey (depending on your POV), the Demons' strategic use of Crelers is a step too far IMO.

Jack Trowell

Indeed.

Jack Trowell

Not only that but cirille joining the anti necro force was something I was glad to see 😢

KDP

The demons are not attacking because of the sacrificed babies. We know too little about them. I agree that the Blighted King is not a “good guy” but that does not automatically make the other side better. Seeding the ground with Creler eggs is definitely also high up on the “evil moves”-list too in my oppinion.

KDP

Great chapter. Not what I had expected, but great setup for the future.

David Hansson

Truly a beautiful end to a great arc

Ellija

I kind of hate this chapter the fact that this entire arc feels wasted. Nothing that happened matters. Feels like in a show when they introduce the new big bad and have to show just how badass they are so you get to watch a one sided beat down. It’s not compelling and makes the people who died look like clay soldiers set up just so we get an idea of how “powerful” a single deathless is.

dang it I hate akk this c;pwning around

Andrew

Thank you!

Caanbo

There is a good site on those are the demons not the king . Not the king who is sacrificing babies and bringing humans kids to his planet and most of them died.

Newguy Roy

At this point, there are no good guys or bad guys, just sides that hate each other because they've always hated each other and can't begin to imagine not hating each other.

Caanbo

Omg this was really sad . Third time I cried reading this book. One thing I didn’t understand is if the Clown knows that the kingdom are the bad guys why is he fighting with them

Atlas Dwarf

Nice try Death of Monologues but you will not take this from [Villains] just cause it's practical.

Imran

Monologuing because you think you've already won? Flora should have told Silvenia to never start to monologue when you have the upper hand. It's a surefire way to lose it.
