It's the name Elen gave to the combined troops of Brune and Zchted. "Silver Meteor". I can't stop laughing at this. And also at how Elen pokes fun at Lim. "Having your breast fondled and sucked must have made you soft for him" roflmao.

That said, I wouldn't say he was dumb. He was merely kept ignorant of the political machinations around him. He is a soldier through and through. Fights for the citizens, fights for the king, fights for the country, and takes order with little question. In many ways, he is the ideal knight. He is not someone who plays those political games and it's a shame he was sacrificed as a political goat. |

Checked up the jp wiki 'cause of a friend's request, my eyes ended up catching a line or two and now I've been bothered by this tidbit for a while now. So here's a question to those who have read Volume 5. Because it is really, really bothering me.
Spoiler for Don't bother opening me if you have no idea who Drechvach (ドレカヴァク) is in this series. I'm serious. Otherwise it's just going to open another can of worms, people are going to ask for more information, summaries plz, gimme spoilers plz. and all that, etc., tons of inane speculations out the wazoo, so DON'T.:
Not that I want to spoil myself, because I don't ever get spoiled very easily.

I don't know how relevant this is going to be, but seeing as this is from the manga with the author's input...
Tigre. That's the ONLY romaji I've seen of Tigre's name in any Vanadis-affiliated medium; I'll see if I can find more. I tried looking the author up on Twitter for direct confirmation, but he's not listed on it. It might be able to help out with the translations or something, I don't know.

Wow.
I liked the skirmish in Vol. 3 Ch. 2. At first, after reading about how the river had "stopped flowing", I came to the same conclusion as Greast's general did (shows how predictable the whole "flooding the enemy army" tactic has become in recent media). And then Tigre's actual plan kicks in, and...wow. The author took the expectation I had with regards to that strategy and then turned it on its head. I didn't think the forest would play that vital a role, though I'm surprised Greast managed to note its importance (which the general then paid no heed to, heh). Very interesting tactic to route the enemy's troops of equal number, especially Tigre's guerrilla warfare. The following victory celebration scene was heartwarming, in part because of how it shows some significant romantic development between Elen and Tigre. I had to chuckle when Elen went "You really are cute" after Tigre mentioned that if it weren't for the circumstances, he would've punch Greast right then and there. It was also notable in that the entire tone during the scene was, while still throwing the reader a bone or two for some chuckles, rather mature. I liked that as it was really a heartfelt moment shared between the two; it was nowhere near the childish squabbling or half-hearted "heartfelt" scenes you'd usually find in a harem series. It also shed more light on Tigre's character, showing just how different he is from the other nobles just by how he sees his soldiers, and what he believes he's fighting for. He realizes just how much PEOPLE they are, not pawns, nor do they fight for justice but at the end of the day, they are soldiers merely following orders. That alone was very notable, doing away with the whole "we fight for justice!" cliche found in stories like these (and if you distance yourself from the main characters, you'd realize that is exactly what is at play here; several individuals fighting to secure and promote their own interests). That and, a main character admitting just how limited his view and perspective were before, and then thanking the heroine for having given him the opportunity to grow and expand his horizons while still admitting just how aware he is of his own shortcomings? Not a very common thing to read in these days of standardized invincible, unshakable, male harem lead archetypes. I'm beginning to see how Volume 3's scale is so much larger than in Volume 1 and 2...and not just in the battles. Personally speaking, this is good. This is REALLY good.

The forest tactic was just whoa. A VERY nice surprise! Though considering that Greast didn't bother pursing and had already accomplished his role, it downplayed the taste of victory a bit...but it was still a very enthralling development as it was.

Nah, I think it was alright. It was a good appetizer to whet the reader's appetites for the upcoming battles...and considering that Roland's illustration is on page 169, I'm pretty certain that the upcoming ones are DEFINITELY going to be awe-inducing.
