Ce tome est tout bonnement incroyable.

La guerre débute, Qin est peut-être désavantagé par son manque de (grands) généraux face à l'armée de Zhao et sa puissante cavalerie, mais l'armée est en marche et l'arrivée d'Ouki à son commandement est un soutien moral indéniable en plus de s'avérer être une aide stratégique conséquente. C'est la naissance de l'unité de Shin. 100 hommes, un général ennemi à abattre, voilà comment résumer la mission qui leur a été donnée. Une mission qui ne se fera pas sans obstacles et sacrifices.

En quatrième de couverture nous retrouvons Heki, qui mérite amplement cette mise en valeur. Il a été à la hauteur de son poste et plus encore dans ce tome.

Well, THAT was bloody. It was certainly exciting to see Shin's unit slowly make their way towards their goal, the whole Qin army constantly getting beaten down and losing bodies left and right, waiting for all the little sacrifices to amount to some swing of the tide. I liked seeing everyone trust in Shin, he's come a long way to suddenly have the faith of soldiers like he does. I think this might be what Kingdom does best, in my opinion- telling this big stories of war and the movement of armies while still being cohesive and relatively grounded. There's little that anyone here does, even Shin, that feels unnatural or like it breaks any established rules of how the world actually works. The victories, however small (or large), feel earned because you can connect the incremental changes together.

Impressionante.
Come l’autore narra la guerra, le tattiche, le varie strategie, la differenza tra eserciti in campo è incredibile, e poi i disegni sono fenomenali.
Shin (con una squadra di pochissimi uomini) ha una missione da compiere, datagli da Ouki: prendere la testa del generale Fuuki.
Ce la farà? Il finale è da applausi.
E sono solo al dodicesimo volume, penso che gli aggettivi si sprecheranno andando avanti (soprattutto quando Ouki scenderà in campo).

What happened to Xin's armor, anyway? He went out of his way to buy some, he's got it in the cover, but for whatever reason he went into the fight without it. Why?

Good thing Plot Armor's way stronger than steel.

This was a very tense volume. The battles and how they enacted them were very engaging. Each chapter had me at the edge of my seat. Looking forward to the next installment.
