>300K is how many were said to be at that stronghold.
yeah, and they already killed 400K before.
and both of those were basically just exp farming trips so the 1M and 3M armies will most likely suffer the same fate
>>
>>290694463
the demons have a bunch of B+ class monsters as we saw in the village it takes a commander type who fought on the frontline to deal with those monsters.
>>
>>290694862
>yeah, and they already killed 400K before.
Oh, you mean across the war, not in just today's battle. They were able to use petit meteor and more dragons at the time. I think that was over a few days too iirc. Still a huge number though.
>the 1M and 3M armies will most likely suffer the same fate
Prior to getting deputize I don't think Allen could handle that 1M. Maybe with enough time, but Idk if they have that.

According to the last thread, a single elven unit was stronger than 99% of the units in the demon army (1on1). How the elves lost is kinda mysterious.
>>
>>290694813
Is not like their attack patterns were that good either, demons are playing a game of numbers.
>>
>>290695043
>a single elven unit was stronger than 99% of the units in the demon army (1on1)
Elven propaganda next they will claim Dark Elves are behind the invasion.
>>
I know I'm a retard for expecting this, but I thought we'd finally get a long and cool siege with proper tactics rooted somewhat in sense or logic. After the school arc started, it was just never going to get better at any point right? What a fucking waste.

This is following the manga pretty directly, with a bunch of additional scenes not in the WN/LN included, in particular those showing Sophie and Gatoluuga using their powers. In the WN/LN we still haven't really seen them do so yet, though chapter 189 finally explains how Sophie's Spirit Mage class works and shows her stats for the first time. Volmaar's stats and powers were first shown and explained in chapter 186. Neither of them have really done any kind of fighting in the WN/LN yet at this point.

Also, the history of the Dark Elves was originally told in chapter 196, the manga moved in to earlier and the anime followed suit. This change doesn't really make much sense, this is the elves' dark history, and Allen had to push really hard to have it explained to him in the WN/LN - here Sophie just spills the beans for no real reason.
>>
>>290695169
Sieges never last long when magic is involved. If you wanted a long siege then you'd have to watch/read a medieval anime with no magical powers involved.
Also, we learned that Nest is going to get invaded by a million monsters in 3 days so there's no way they had time to take the castle the "right" way.
>>
>>290695194
>In the WN/LN we still haven't really seen them do so yet,
Huh doesn't she do so all the time in the LN? She's basically just a buffer in the LN anyway with her job being just the dedicated buff stacker.
>>
>>290695169
But that's what happened? The siege worked as a distraction while they used the classic "sewer invasion" tactic to get inside and let everyone else in, and I was afraid that they would just solve everything by dropping a nuke.
>>
>>290695271
>and I was afraid that they would just solve everything by dropping a nuke.
They sort of can't because they needed the castle intact to use it. Eradicating the castle from existence would be awfully stupid of them because it's an Elven castle on Elven country not some demonic stronghold.
>>
>>290695252
Nope. First time we see her do anything useful in a fight at all is in chapter 203, when she summons Ifrit to assrape a bunch of monsters.
>>
>>290695337
Idk, in the LN she's always buffing the party because she gains very useful skills and extremely important buffs after the rohzenheim arc and she's always shown using the buffs in pretty much every fight ever they're in.
>>
>>290695368
But we're still in that arc now.

Just for clarity, a siege is when you prevent the garrison (those under siege) from being able to enter or leave or to be able to get supplies. You're kinda trying to starve them out or tire them out or something.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege
When you attack it like they did today, I believe that's an assault. Allen's crew was infiltration.

I thought you meant haven't seen her do anything useful in current LN, not at this point in time for the LN. Yeah, this arc is meant to be Sophie's character arc so of course her development and stuff happens here.

>10 billion xp to level up

Well it took two days, and the objective was to hold them and tire them during that time, I think it counts but I'm not an expert anyways.

>>290695539
Tire them out to the point they want to give up or don't have any more resources to fight or defend with. A siege is one of the things one does when fighting them wouldn't work. The kinda thing that might take months or even years.

just for clarity, sieges were a solved game back around vauban's writings. and they involved safely getting close to the walls and overcoming them, not waiting indefinitely.

LN makes Sophie bigger for some reason which is why I never honestly gave a shit about her but the anime turned her into a lolibaba which is a huge upgrade. Idk what the manga does, I hope it follows more the anime than the LN.

Krena and Cecil are still flat as fuck of course, I'd know because I'm a superficial retard that picks up novels based on whether the main girl(s) are flat or not.
>>
I watched it.
>>
>>290696291
Pretty sure the anime is just using the manga design. It looks mostly the same. Might look a bit cuter in the anime.
>>
>>290696879
time to fire the LN artist and hire the manga/anime one
One of the LNs I'm reading unironically did this, the original writer had to quit for some unstated reason and they replaced the artist for the person that did the art for the anime
>>
So silver hair demon means anyone (of sufficient power) who makes it to the world tree can form a pact with rohzen.
And that's presumably why the dark elf loredump was this episode.
Interdasting.
>>
>>290696911
The funnier part is how none of the designs for Dogora seem to fit his description in the novels. Dude's supposed to be a big guy with a potato face. Even the WN comments were wondering who the hell that bishounen was when the first LN illustrations for him hit.
