Scanlation of Chapter 110: The Holy Voice of God is out now on Mangadex!

Oh my god

I don’t know where I should start with this chapter.

First of all I am so happy Project Vinland picked it up and translated it. I am so happy about this.

And then Kishward…..after this chapter I see you in a diffrent light. Men how he stand his ground after seeing a wild ox is appearing in front of him. The fight was so good and on the other hand his sense of tactic and reformation are so good.

And the his look on his face when Narsus tells him they are going to Ecbatana. He knows that Narsus has a sly plan 😂 and Azraels appears….yes Kishward knows that Arslan is not so far away. What a deep trust in both of them Azrael and Arslan the crown prince.

I love the little hint from Daryun about telling Gieve how to make love 😂 I think that is a proofe of the good dynamic in team Arslan.

And my baby boy

I am so proud of him. He sees that the tactic Gusicard has is not really the best one and I think that he has a feeling that something is going on.

On the other hand…Andragoras….oh I don’t like the guy. Really. Because he don’t care for his men or the people who are following him. He only one way to fight and that is by force.

Oh the last chapters where so so good

Can’t wait for the next one

Project Vinland’s release of Arslan Senki Chapter 111: Lusitania’s Counterattack is out now!

Amazing

Wish we had Shapur on the side of Andragoras as well. I would die for his expression.

Can’t wait for the next cover

Here are the bonus sketches from Arslan Senki manga vol. 18! These are both nice (maybe we’ll get something similar for Team Hilmes and Team Arslan in the next vol?). I can sense the internal conflict on Andragoras’s side. Kubard doesn’t really care but for the others the expressions and slightly lowered heads convey their sentiments very well.

Summoning my energy reserves to make a post before the next chapter releases. I reread Chapter 124 and was like 'that's a nice detail where the broken blade of one of Kishward's swords goes flying off and chops down the flaming torch from where it's mounted on the wall' but now that I think about it, it's more than just a neat moment in a fight scene.

It's foreshadowing.

Here's that moment for illustrative purposes.

The torch bracket shows up again at the end of this scene, where Andragoras has just stated his intention to meet with Hilmes in order to speak with him.

These are Sam's thoughts.

That question was what made me go 'Oh!'. Because this scene, at the opening of Chapter 124, is actually backtracking a little from Chapter 123, where we had the start of that dialogue between Andragoras and Hilmes, where Andragoras refers to him as 'brother,' so in that sense, we already know what Andragoras wants to tell Hilmes.

But the conversation's not over. There's more still to come. And Sam's question, positioned next to the remains of the torch where the wall has been blackened by its flame, is leading us towards one more possible subject matter — the truth about the palace fire.

Andragoras, torch in hand (Chapter 25).

(Chapter 64)

"His Majesty Andragoras is likely the only soul who knows the truth."

I don't want to derail this post with what Andragoras may or may not be about to tell Hilmes, but if that panel in Chapter 124 was intended to hint at this conversation, it's not the first time a torch has been used to indicate the palace fire and allude to a truth not yet wholly revealed.

This how Chapter 19 ends. Hilmes reveals his identity to Andragoras in the dungeon, but it's not until the next chapter that we come to learn the reason why he hates him so much. And after hearing what Hilmes has to say then, Andragoras laughs.

So far, he's avoided either confirming or denying the rumours about the palace fire. Sam asked the question when he visited Andragoras in the dungeons, but although Andragoras imparted some details about Gotarzes that revealed the truth about Hilmes's parentage, he didn't directly address what happened on the night of the fire.

(This last thought might be a bit of a stretch, but the fight between Kishward and Sam in the underground waterway called to mind the scene where Hilmes infiltrates Ecbatana through those very same passages, especially as there was a moment there that showed us his fear of fire when Gieve hurled his oil lamp at the torch on the wall.)
