It's an epic line that is a combination of many years of frustration Wyatt's had with stupid blue bloods!😊 I have a feeling that Leopold loved Wyatt saying things he's wanted to say to nobles but as a commoner he couldn't without risk lots of trouble. 😂
I am looking forward to seeing this. I hope that by the end of this novel we will see Admiral Wayatt Stapels Duke of the Pricipality and Reformer of military conduct.
@@meistersgarage748 he hasn’t passed out since he had that auxiliary vascular pump installed (part of the trinumitor(?) implant) so he may have lost that quirk. Clara would be so disappointed.
@@nautifella one can hope, but there are too many nobles with the old ideas ingrained in their minds; something like the Crimean war might need to happen for that to change. (It was a pyrrhic victory by the English where the survival rate was so low that the military shifted from one where ranks were bought to more of a meritocracy, not the first or last even to cause change in the English military, but enough to get them in the right direction).
Once the whole fleet feels that victory and know that mission is more important than the leader, they may reluctantly reconsider and become one group of fighters not afraid to follow the leader to accomplish the mission assigned to them. This may be the fighting force that changes at least some blue bloods archaic mind set.
Now it's picking up speed. The commoners will now follow him anywhere as they see he cares. He demonstrates the difference between a boss and a true leader.
@@RebelMerc I see the loss of some fighters as a potential opportunity, the Noirnavio does after all have manufacturing facilities and a Ykanti named Jincho
Absolutely brilliant episode, an impossible situation solved by out of the box thinking. Commander Redferns battle simulations predicted total loss of all fighters, can imagine the surprise and elation when he see's so many returning along with the Drazan losses. Wonder if or how they are going to change blue bloods seeking glory? They are no longer fighting in sytem scirmishes against one opponent. They have pirates, Drazan and the insurectionists, with limited resources. Reckless actions by a few will have devastating consequences that turns a ripple into a sunami.
A wonderfully penned description of combat, tactical thinking, reasoning and deduction pitted against yet unrealized obstructions in Wyatt's evolution in culture and nobility. Excellent detail included in the logic behind Wyatt's battle planning including the expected divergences in known enemy fighter capabilities, and the enemy reactions. I also found the ass chewing wrapping up the battle to be exemplary for the timing and evolution in Wyatt's command and nobility perspective. No doubt there will be some coming words about efforts to recover any possible survivors before withdrawing from the battlefield, likely not a common procedure before Wyatt ordered this action. I watched daily for a possible early release, thanks for not disappointing your readers and fans. I am sure I am not the only one repeatedly replaying this series.
Wyatt's viewpoint reminds me of a basketball coach who told his team that if he ever saw one of them hogging the ball to get a shot when someone else was open, he would throw them off the team. His viewpoint was that it didn't matter who made the points as long as it was for the team. After he left, the basketball program at that college was never as good as it was when he was there.
Great episode, Wyatt's speech was outstanding and on point. His out of the box thinking saved the day again. As for the three idiots should also realize that disobeying orders won't bring you glory but disgrace you and your family. Great work again, looking for the next release.
Ooff, that ending was absolutely amazing. Wyatt finally snaped, was waiting for this since he been promoted. Great episode and absolutely cannot wait for the next episode and conclusion to the battle
Yeah, Wyatt had lots of pent-up anger 😠 😡 at noble's obsession with honor and glory to moronic levels. This scene shows that how much Wyatt has grown as a character to chew out his fellow nobles at their stupidity from a perspective as someone who lived most of their life as a commoner. 😊
Watching Wyatt shake off his uncertainty, learn the lessons of being an officer and develop into a true leader in these last few chapters has been an absolutely delicious treat. Reading The Black Ship has become the highlight of my week!
Not just his squad of 5. Although the numbers at the end didn't add up for me, 72 pilots survived because of him. Almost every pilot that was there and at least 70% of the entire flight.
@@meistersgarage748 80 pilots went out including Wyatt, 12 ships were disabled or destroyed including the 3 glory seekers, but 4 of the pilots in those 12 ships were picked up alive so 8 out of 80 survived or 90%
Wyatt did get all of his squadron subordinates out of harms way so far. It was other squadrons that lost pilots. So far all Composters are still alive and their fighters are intact.
The glory and honor attitude permeates through every facet of this society. It's easy to see how the Principality is considered a backwater amongst other human galactic nations.
The composters were the last to dock in Noirnavio. After Wyatt docked his fighter, he stayed inside for some minutes to sink in the fact that they survived. When he came out of his fighter, he saw the pilots lining up, squad leaders in front. Alpha Squad Leader shouted and saluted their Commanding Officer, Wyatt. This is what I am imagining after all of these trouble. hehe! Thanks for the chapter! This was worth the wait.
The irony of the Noble's honour being dishonourable is truly one of the best things of the series. Honour and glory at the cost of other lives and reputation means nothing
Yahooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeee❤....Fantastic episode ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ In my mind I'd like to dedicate this episode to the SURVIVORS and FIGHTERS of both hurricanes 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THAT was a fast 36 minutes! Well done once again. Many people figured out "missiles as mines" - still a good trick. So the Drazzan fighters are enhanced? Maybe the Drazzan got more than just info about when to strike the principality. Wyatt's speech at the end reminds me of Admiral Dewey just before the battle of Manila Bay: "I don't want good losers. I want tough hombres that will go out there and win." Victory, like loyalty, is its own reward. Saving most of the wing instead of being annihilated is glory enough for him - a fact that his squadron mates probably find shocking. This will have repercussions.
Exactly the same thought, it seems that the Drazzan not only received information. And with his speech and by rescuing the wounded I think Wyatt won a lot of supporters.
i think they refitted their fighters, or something, using the wrecked rebel tech (or the rebels shared it or something). Also Admiral Dewey was an oddity, but that seems to be the norm for truly exceptional people (the stories about his younger days are crazy).
@@travelingscienceman4404 A lot of those old admirals and generals "had a past" 😆 I like the tale of "Ching" Lee myself. That said, I don't think they refitted using rebel tech. First, the accounts of rebel tech make it appear it was no better than principality tech. Second the arrogance of the Drazzan would make them look down on everybody else, making them dismissive of the rebels and their tech. Third, the timeline. The Drazzan may have been there 2 to 3 months, but not more, which leads into point 4. The scale of refit required would be enormous. They fielded 400 fighters - it could have been 1000, maybe more.
HURRAH! Wyatt's genius is on full display: thank you. This was all I hoped for and have been waiting for!! I can imagine all sorts for consequences ("Take that George Lintar!")
My first word at the conclusion was "Wow". Our beloved author really knows how to write a story. It makes me wonder what his background is. Ex-military perhaps, or just an incredibly gifted person who writes one hell of a story. Either way kudos, high fives, hats off, and a slute to you once again. I can't wait to find out the reaction back at the ship and I wonder if Clara will give him another reward. Perhaps a kiss for her favored knight?
The confusion of his squadmates, excluding leopold, makes a lot more sense when you remember they think he's an undercover agent who was always a noble. I wonder how they'll try to reconcile his actions and subsiquent outburst with that little theory of theirs😂
Well by now I have a feeling that Nultar either no longer believes that or had serious doubts of it, especially after his heart to heart conversation with Wyatt which end up with Wyatt telling him how Salazar Ried screwed up so badly that he’s barely a noble anymore. Think about how the 3 pilots who were born nobles in Composters reacted to Wyatt’s out burst of how stupid honor and glory are and that the one that was least bothered by it seemed to be Nultar. He unlike Gregor or Raquel did spend down time with Wyatt and realized that Wyatt is a very pragmatic person that does not care about honor and glory. As for Gregor or Raquel I said this in another post for this chapter which does pertain to what your talking about: @carsparks1980 I have a feeling that Gregor will do either asked to be let go of Wyatt’s squadron or this will be something that pushes Gregor to grow as a person to slowly change his ways to be less rigid and be more flexible. I got the vibe that Raquel does not like how subordinates are supposed to give up some of their kills to superiors and will change to Wyatt’s way of running the squadron relatively easily. I do think that Raquel will realize that Leopold was either right that Wyatt is truly a commoner who became a knight or is still a noble agent who has given up all desires for honor and glory to better serve the Astorian Dynasty. Gregor is going to have real noble crisis will he either follow what his superior officer Wyatt tells him to do which clashes normal noble values or will he follow noble values but goes against his superior office? I have a feeling soon will finally get a Gregor pov section where we see him struggle with this great dilemma he has! Its going to be so interesting in see how he deals with this! Leoplold is so waiting for the perfect time to say: I told you so, that Wyatt was born a commoner!
There is no hope for the Blue woke Blood Principality. Let the Duke have Power and The Prince can start a Meritocracy out of Dirty Filthy Commoners which is probably 95 percent of The Principality
That was fast moving action, a lot was cramed into that 27 minutes and fully entertaining and engaging. So all I can say as a listener Loyalty is it's own Reward!
The rebels have to be watching, Maximilian will be baffled by the military genius he was watching. He may even think twice about hostile action against the loyalists.
@@quasimodotrahanaquasimodo Both are very valid reasons, and they are both reasons he would consider it. He would never go because he _NEEDED_ to, only because he wanted to. And _Clara_ would be what he sacrifices. Nothing and nobody means more to him. I think that they may fall in love with each other and for reasons long a varied, it can never be. Becoming a _Lone Wolf_ might provide him a way out.
@@nautifella I think Wyatt will prove to be something different, Lone Wolves appear at least in part to be all about the "Glory" of all those kills, Wyatt kills because he has to, not (except for Drazzan and possibly pirates) because he enjoys it, he is the garbage man coming to take out the trash, heaven help those who get in his way ,oh and don't even think about going after his friends, it will be the last mistake you ever make
7 am. and now on the second listen through. I am so greatful to be getting these chapters as they are posted, but I almost wish I had found it as a finished story. The anticipation is near torture waiting for the next drop!!! Peace, and thank you!
Likely we are all about to die today. Fight on sons and daughters of the principality so that your families and countless innocents may live another day in peace!
Wyatt understands the logistics of war in a way that the born ‘nobles’ do not. Dead allies can’t kill any more of the enemy nor go on future missions and dead enemies can’t kill you or your allies.
That and that the Duke's forces also out number the loyalist forces something like 2 or 3 to 1. Then combine that with the fact the Noirnavio is getting no support with its solo crusade to retake this system, so every single person on board could potential make the difference of success or failure. ☺
I can’t wait for the records and orders to be reviewed during debriefing, and to see the newfound respect he has from the pilots after an underdog victory like that, with minimal losses at that.
I think the majority of them had already got some respect for him as a pilot or at least were willing to follow his orders, the real issue will be did his last comments about the blur bloods go out over an open channel or only his squad
@davidorf3921 I think, as you mentioned earlier, that the rescue of the 4 pilots will have a huge weight in how the rest of the pilots will now see Wyatt, no man left behind will be a fundamental part of the "Wyatt doctrine".
@@meistersgarage748 I think Cynthia likes and admires Wyatt as a fellow warrior and a friend, the reason she is training him so hard is because she knows what a bunch of arseholes her fellow nobles can be and she is trying to keep him alive, also because Wyatt has shown himself to be a genuine friend to Clara, which as we have discovered is a real rarity. Clara on the other hand initially went after Wyatt because of her thing for great pilots (this is the in joke about Wyatt being her personal pilot) however she has shown on several occasions that she really cares about him, this might or might not lead to the bedroom at some point far off into the future, but for now I think it means that she will ensure he gets pulled out of any self ignited fires before he gets too hot. That and making sure there are sweets and pastries available for those knitting sessions
Hello from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. CRIKEY, surprised again. I was anticipating the NoirNavio to come to their rescue. Another interesting revelation; glory kills. The demise of the 3 glory seeking nobles should enable Wyatt to forbid this practice as Wing Commander. Nothing like Survival against the odds to facilitate the change process. Now wondering when Jinko will be involved to include tactical mines into the arsenal of the fighters.
"Jinko will be involved to include tactical mines into the arsenal of the fighters." They already are part of the arsenal, they were used to bring down the cattle ship's shields. The fighters can only carry one mine. I would be concerned adding a second mine would add enough mass it would interfere with maneuverability.
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us....they can't get away this time!" Chesty Puller And if you dont know who Chesty Puller was..... GOOD NIGHT CHESTY PULLER!!!
“They’ve got us right where i want them… We can fire in any direction & hit them…” “Hell, we’re not retreating, we’re just advancing to the Rear…” Yarch..!!
This is turning into something very different to what I was expecting. This episode has me on the edge of my seat. This episode has been really nicely done please keep up the exceptional work and thank you.
Damm. I listened to the last part 3 times where Wyatt was ranting. Those lines are damm good. Looking forward to the reactions of the people behind his back. They won't say their true feelings and reactions to his face because he's their CO and a blue blood now so I'm looking forward to the reactions of others behind his back. OMG really really really want another chapter man. 👍 A very fantastic series and one of the top sci fi i listen to.
Wow, I didn't knew how I needes this minutes of amazing descriptions of an even more amazing fight, loved to listen to it as always Loyalty is its own reward!
It's interesting seeing Wyatt dealing with the stress of commanding the Noirnavio fighters in a seemingly hopeless situation and trying to somehow survive this. Great scene where Wyatt decides he's not dying today! He's not going to let his subordinates down, Clara, Cynthia and Redford. 😊 Interesting twist that there's a new type of Drazin fighters. It's interesting seeing Wyatt using some of there missiles to see how the new type of Drazin fighters defenses are like. That they are faster but have weaker shields. 🤔 I do like how Wyatt convinces his squadron subordinates to trust his crazy idea as a fellow fighter pilot!😊It was interesting how Wyatt’s squadmates react to his out of the box way he convinced them to do what he wanted to do. It’s a crazy way how Wyatt plans on using remaining missiles as mines and using flares creating a sensor jamming the Drazin sensors long enough they don’t detect the missiles until its too late. Nice job of Wyatt using his knowledge of the Drazin to use their own mind set of being superior to all other sentient being against them! 😏 Great job on EkhidnaWritez on showing Wyatt’s anxiety and then focus on the moment when everything goes to plan or to hell. AWESOME scene where Wyatt just before their desperate attempt either succeeds or fails speaks from his “heart” telling them that he has done everything he can think of trying to get them back to the Noirnavio alive, while killing as many Drazin as possible. That they are to fight for the Principality, the Prince and if they are to die to kill as many of Drazin with them to protect their loved ones. No surprise that everyone listening to Wyatt’s impromptu speech responded to fervently with “Loyalty is its own reward!”☺ Interesting to see how missiles were used to mainly weaken the Drazin shields and blind them to Astorian forces suddenly changing direction and going at them. Therefore they did not see the Astorians until they were in coilgun range and chewing them up. Now this genius static has made the battle go from basically impossible to win to now 127 vs 80 quite winnable as long as they stay ahead of the Frigates anti fighter weapons range. Good job with Wyatt reminding his Wing Commanders, squadmates to focus on surviving over glory seeking and to keep out of the Frigates range. Wyatt says an epic assemble line “Composters to me!”😲 Great job EkhidnaWritez with how well the dog fight between Astorians and Drazin pirates, especially how chaotic it would be with it devolving into furball. I am not surprised that the end of the dog fight that about 50 Drazin fighters retreated to the frigates. I am not surprised that pragmatic Wyatt is annoyed with noble ideocracy of not taking someone else’s “kill” like how Gregor and Raquel didn’t want to take his kill and in doing so nearly get him killed! Then his furry is redirected from them when he sees 3 Astorian fighters pursuing the retreating Drazin fighters and comms them to chew them out! I am not sure if Sirus 1 is speaking truefully or just covering his ass but I suspect the latter. I am not surprise that the 3 idots who chased after the retreating fighters ended up getting killed when the retreating fighters realized those 3 Astorian fighter were alone and slaughtered them with ease. I do love how Wyatt uses their deaths as further giving his point of view further credit, that its time to get the hell out of their now! I do like how Leopold is the one to realize that Wyatt does not know about glory kill accolades and that combine with his pragmatic view is the reason why he’s totally confused why his squadmates did not kill the fighters he was going after. I was surprised with how few Astorian starfighters were killed with less than 15! 😲No surprise that Wyatt ends up deciding to no leave any potential survivors to potentially getting caught by Drazin. I do like how Wyatt does hope the 3 pilot who died going for glory kills don’t have angry irrational brothers (like Salazar Ried)! I do like how Wyatt asks Leopold what Glory kills are but its Nultar explain what are GK’s are when they were safe retreat to the Noirnavio. I am not surprised when Wyatt learns what GK kills are it causes his long term frustration with blue bloods and their stupid obsession with Honor and Glory, combine with it nearly getting him kill less than 15 minutes ago has him chewing out Gregor and Raquel! He rants on about what are glory and honor good for if your dead. What does honor taste like and what does glory look like? 🤬 Glory looks like a destroyed fighter and honor tastes like ash. That if they want to honor him, they kill the enemy, if they want to go for glory kills he will no longer try to stop people going for them and getting themselves killed. All he cares about is completing the mission, surviving and having as many of his subordinates alive. Awesome job EkhidnaWritez with this epic line at the prefect time: “Keep your precious honor, drink your rancid glory, you can take them, victory shall suffice for me!” 🤬I feeling that Leoplod is loving how Wyatt shows his commoner roots with his rant about the stupidity of noble’s obsession of honor and glory and how he does not give a shit about it!🤣😂 Wyatt is saying all the things that Leopold probably has wanted to say to nobles but has been unable to do so since he is a commoner.
@@Soundwave119 Wyatt just showed his true Colors & Strengths- Glory & Accolades means nothing, Survival of his Men, with Dead & Burning Drazzan means so much more… His Final & Scathing Rant, will have lasting repercussions, and felt across the Principality as a Whole… Wyatt’s skills & tactical mind combined with unconventional means, will cause those under him to not only respect him more, because He leads from the front & by example, he does look to waste their lives as meat shields or Glory Seeking… there’s no Glory in Death…
@daghost11 Yes his rant will have repercussions in his squadron but it's going to be a long time before it will reverberate around the Noirnavio much less the Principality. I do think that Noltar will be among the 1st nobles that will follow his example. 😊 It will be how he leads and doesn't look for glory will be how slowly more and more more open minded nobles will follow his example. 😊 Good to see you back again after not seeing you in the comments section last video. 😊
@@daghost11Honor and glory do mean things but in moderation with focusing on completing the mission as well as possible. From that you can gain proper honor and glory. 😊
@@daghost11 The after action episode will be interesting. Gregor may decide he can't serve under Wyatt anymore - the culture shock may be too intense. Regardless, I see an interesting set of conversations coming up. Especially because Maximilian will realize 2 things, if he can get some sensor and/or comms intercept data. 1. He will realize Redford was not in direct control of the fighter wing.... 2. Because the jammers were active, and Redford, as commander, would have stayed on the Noirnavio. There's a new kid on the block.
Your writing puts me in the story watching and listening. You use your words to open the readers or listeners mind to create the scene. Well done. I await our next viewing Wyatt’s story.
Wonder how mad Clara and Cynthia will be at Wyatt ,We all know his lecture will be never ending ..from both women and and Clara will ofc brag to her brother....and don't forget Jincgo will be dying to make his improvement's
He came back and he brought 90% of his pilots with him, his speech on the stupidity of seaking glory when surrounded by enemies would go down badly with many superiors, but I think Redford will probably quietly agree, Clara on the other hand knows how important keeping those pilots alive was
No Jingo will crumply call Wyatt a maniac and other names for damaging his fighter ,then he will repair it with mods ,as for Clara and Cynthia they will be happy he survived .
@@davidorf3921I can see Redford & Clara agreeing to Wyatt’s promotion to Lieutenant Commander after this and Firmly cementing his position as CAG, with no arguments from the rest of the Wing… Not only did they Win decisively, but he’s bringing 95% of the Home to fight another day, when the Simulations predicted more than a 50% Loss of the fighter Wing… The Only question will be- How many actual Kills did Wyatt achieve… to go in addition to their Battle Skulls…
@@daghost11 there are more stages in the authors rank system, 1st Lt is next then Lt Commodore, then Commodore, after that I think Lt Commander, Commander, Captain and probably several Admiral ranks, apparently they need all the ranks to keep the nobles happy LOL, I believe he lost 12 ships but recovered 4 pilots so he lost 10% of his pilots , as to how many kills, I believe 15 in a single combat event makes you an ace, the question becomes do the tactics that he orders the other pilots to carry out give him bonuses because in that case he just got 300 kills plus individual dogfights for another 10 or so
That sentiment at the end… I think I would phrase it as “The honor of saving friendlies is greater than the glory of destroying enemies.” Or “Saving friendlies is more honorable than killing enemies.”
There is little honor in dying stupid, the thing about honor is to defeat the enemy by vanquishing them and living to fight another day if possible. Honor is being able to bring your people back alive if possible too.
I agree the reason they are soldiers and pilots is to protect people. They have to kill to do that sure, but that's why Wyatt is there. To protect the people of the principality.
As Patton said, you don't win a war by dying for your country, you make the other dumb SOB die for his... that is what Wyatt is teaching them Whether he knows it or not...
If presented no other choice and he was going to die, then he would've taken the fight to them. However, as it was said, it wasn't just him there and he was making sure they had a fighting chance. Living to do their duty longer meant living to kill more=living longer to indirectly save innocents
Great episode!!! It is episodes like this that make this series my favorite!!! Glory and honor are not gained by an individual, but are earned thru the selfless actions of an individual for his fellow warriors!
Truly exceptional chapter!!! Creative way of surviving with the odds stacked against you. But this talk of honor and glory just amplifies what Redford said a while back. They are among the weakest nations because of how the think,act and govern themselves. The 3 pilots petfectly reinforce this by making the dumb decision to go for honor instead or recognizing that they can live to fight another day. Then you hear this notion of Glory kills which rightfully sets Wyatt off, it is strategically and tactically stupid. I hope author further expands this by showing waiting traitors making the same mistakes deal with remaining foes when they try come in for the obvious sneak attack.
They forgot the Number 1 Rule of Warfare- Never pursuit a Retreating Enemy, for you never know if they’re leading you into a Trap or Ambush… Glory only serves to get people Killed…
I just caught this the flight leaders said that “If Wyatt’s plan failed and they sum how survived they would do what ever to have Wyatt removed.” But his plan did not fail, so we now know you can not take a noble at their word.
At this point, im sure Clara will make Jincho Wyatt's personal technician and probably give him a team to not only improve the Composters fighters to fit the pilot, but also have him be the the head of a division for all the fighters. I believe she'll give him free reign to make whatever improvements he wants. Him and her will probably bond over the fighter data and video of the fight. I hope they watch it together because she seems to like Jincho because he's so laid back. Im sure Redford will be shocked with the strategy Wyatt came up with.
My god Whyat is cooking, both drazan an a blueberry's, i hope we will have a scene were Redford and Clara just staring down the pilot while on background sounded his speech about glory
the story is really starting to gain momentum now, Wyatt is showing his superiority in tactics, the commoners adore him, the nobles still look down on Wyatt but respect his tactics. what a fun story!
@@StrategeryJack I think the same, Wyatt's not stupid though so before he totally changes 100's of years of "tradition" I think he's going to run it by Clara and Redford first
I think this was Grego trying to say when Wyatt started his rant/speech. He was in the open channel... he may have accidentally switched it to open channel. that's my take
Seems like petty blue bloods will be petty blue bloods no matter what. As we all know, Wyatt shines brighter under pressure. ❤❤ Loved it. Hope you guys enjoy it as well... Clara, Cynthia, Redford, and the rest of Wyatt's closest friends will be proud of him and his capacity to adapt to the situation. ❤❤❤ Clara better give him an entire plate of pastries 🍰 🍰🍰
@@frankrobinsjr.1719 LOL I think that Clara might let Wyatt buy his own book but ask her Pastry chef to maybe help Wyatt in some way, a little guidance at least
I like to imagine Sunraku’s battle theme playing whenever Wyatt’s in combat. Also I wonder what Clara’s reaction is going to be to this ‘impossible’ victory
Can't wait for the next chapter this one was one of my favourites ! I'm really, REALLY curious about how the pilots react to his speech especially the composters (or maybe he was only talking to his squadron not sure), I'm also wondering if Maximilian and co were watching the battle with probes (which they said they would send into Gintrax). Wyatt's either gonna end up reforming the whole fighter side of the navy or having a wing of fanatics ready to throw honour away in a breath for the chance to save their own, love it ¡
You're in for a treat!!!
You're being so sneaky waiting to add the video to the playlist now! I respect the game lol.
You are not kidding. Bravo, good sir!
You misspelled:

An absolutely outstanding chapter. I think Wyatt is going to have a group of pilots that once fully trained will never be able to fly fleet again.
Maybe the fleet adapts to Wyatt.
@@nautifella one can hope, but there are too many nobles with the old ideas ingrained in their minds; something like the Crimean war might need to happen for that to change. (It was a pyrrhic victory by the English where the survival rate was so low that the military shifted from one where ranks were bought to more of a meritocracy, not the first or last even to cause change in the English military, but enough to get them in the right direction).
Once the whole fleet feels that victory and know that mission is more important than the leader, they may reluctantly reconsider and become one group of fighters not afraid to follow the leader to accomplish the mission assigned to them. This may be the fighting force that changes at least some blue bloods archaic mind set.
Written on Wyatts heraldic shield should be "take the fucking shot" !

Absolutely brilliant episode, an impossible situation solved by out of the box thinking.
Commander Redferns battle simulations predicted total loss of all fighters, can imagine the surprise and elation when he see's so many returning along with the Drazan losses.
Wonder if or how they are going to change blue bloods seeking glory? They are no longer fighting in sytem scirmishes against one opponent. They have pirates, Drazan and the insurectionists, with limited resources. Reckless actions by a few will have devastating consequences that turns a ripple into a sunami.

"Certainty Of Death? Small Chance Of Success? What Are We Waitin' For?" Gimli LOTR
Love that line.
A wonderfully penned description of combat, tactical thinking, reasoning and deduction pitted against yet unrealized obstructions in Wyatt's evolution in culture and nobility.
Excellent detail included in the logic behind Wyatt's battle planning including the expected divergences in known enemy fighter capabilities, and the enemy reactions. I also found the ass chewing wrapping up the battle to be exemplary for the timing and evolution in Wyatt's command and nobility perspective. No doubt there will be some coming words about efforts to recover any possible survivors before withdrawing from the battlefield, likely not a common procedure before Wyatt ordered this action.
I watched daily for a possible early release, thanks for not disappointing your readers and fans. I am sure I am not the only one repeatedly replaying this series.
LT Wyatt's speech at the end is outstanding!
Best part of the whole chapter !
Fuck yeah
Wyatt's viewpoint reminds me of a basketball coach who told his team that if he ever saw one of them hogging the ball to get a shot when someone else was open, he would throw them off the team. His viewpoint was that it didn't matter who made the points as long as it was for the team. After he left, the basketball program at that college was never as good as it was when he was there.
way to go, wyatt! not only saving the fighters and pilots but educating them. well done!
Great episode, Wyatt's speech was outstanding and on point. His out of the box thinking saved the day again. As for the three idiots should also realize that disobeying orders won't bring you glory but disgrace you and your family. Great work again, looking for the next release.
Ooff, that ending was absolutely amazing. Wyatt finally snaped, was waiting for this since he been promoted.
Great episode and absolutely cannot wait for the next episode and conclusion to the battle
It is hard to say, but as a former officer, realism is its own reward!
I love his speech at the end. It highlights what makes this book so awesome.
Yeah, Wyatt had lots of pent-up anger 😠 😡 at noble's obsession with honor and glory to moronic levels. This scene shows that how much Wyatt has grown as a character to chew out his fellow nobles at their stupidity from a perspective as someone who lived most of their life as a commoner. 😊
“Keep your precious honor, drink your rancid glory. Victory shall suffice for me.” Goes so damn hard
Watching Wyatt shake off his uncertainty, learn the lessons of being an officer and develop into a true leader in these last few chapters has been an absolutely delicious treat. Reading The Black Ship has become the highlight of my week!
Hopefully Wyatt's pilots get the message about mission success over glory hunting
Wyatt doesn't need glory kills. The fact that he completed his mission and got almost all of his squad home will bring glory honor and acclaim.
Not just his squad of 5. Although the numbers at the end didn't add up for me, 72 pilots survived because of him. Almost every pilot that was there and at least 70% of the entire flight.
@@meistersgarage748 80 pilots went out including Wyatt, 12 ships were disabled or destroyed including the 3 glory seekers, but 4 of the pilots in those 12 ships were picked up alive so 8 out of 80 survived or 90%
@davidorf3921 ah ok. It did specify that there were 12 pilots lost but i guess that's a typo.
Wyatt did get all of his squadron subordinates out of harms way so far. It was other squadrons that lost pilots. So far all Composters are still alive and their fighters are intact.
Dawm Wytt Showed the blue bloods what true honor should be, survile against all odds and that glory is death. One of the best chapter Thanks😎
The glory and honor attitude permeates through every facet of this society. It's easy to see how the Principality is considered a backwater amongst other human galactic nations.
The composters were the last to dock in Noirnavio. After Wyatt docked his fighter, he stayed inside for some minutes to sink in the fact that they survived.
When he came out of his fighter, he saw the pilots lining up, squad leaders in front. Alpha Squad Leader shouted and saluted their Commanding Officer, Wyatt.
This is what I am imagining after all of these trouble. hehe!
Thanks for the chapter! This was worth the wait.
This is the beginning of the legend of Wyatt Staples and the Composters written into principality history
Damn. I thought the same too!
Damn Ekhidna, I'm glad I never had to face you on the battlefield. You have a devious and cunning mind.
I'd like to have a game of chess with him honestly.
Oh hell yes
More please don't make me wait another week more
The irony of the Noble's honour being dishonourable is truly one of the best things of the series. Honour and glory at the cost of other lives and reputation means nothing
Two of the last 3 episodes preceded a hurricane. Stop it. Lol. Loyalty is its own reward! But I hate the clean up afterwards! 😂😂😂
Hopefully you will be luckier this time
Yahooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeee❤....Fantastic episode ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ In my mind I'd like to dedicate this episode to the SURVIVORS and FIGHTERS of both hurricanes 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Damn, Wyatt. Tell us how you really think.
You're awesome, my dude. Well said.
Wyatt is a real man, he feels for his lost and not to those who die from there own ignorance. He just wants people to live and i respect that
THAT was a fast 36 minutes! Well done once again.
Many people figured out "missiles as mines" - still a good trick.
So the Drazzan fighters are enhanced? Maybe the Drazzan got more than just info about when to strike the principality.
Wyatt's speech at the end reminds me of Admiral Dewey just before the battle of Manila Bay: "I don't want good losers. I want tough hombres that will go out there and win." Victory, like loyalty, is its own reward. Saving most of the wing instead of being annihilated is glory enough for him - a fact that his squadron mates probably find shocking.
This will have repercussions.
Exactly the same thought, it seems that the Drazzan not only received information. And with his speech and by rescuing the wounded I think Wyatt won a lot of supporters.
@@dantepoggini7752 perhaps even more by recovering the 4 pilots as well,.
i think they refitted their fighters, or something, using the wrecked rebel tech (or the rebels shared it or something). Also Admiral Dewey was an oddity, but that seems to be the norm for truly exceptional people (the stories about his younger days are crazy).
I wouldn't say enhanced if they traded that much shield for speed. A different spec perhaps but definitely not an improvement.
@@travelingscienceman4404 A lot of those old admirals and generals "had a past" 😆 I like the tale of "Ching" Lee myself.
That said, I don't think they refitted using rebel tech. First, the accounts of rebel tech make it appear it was no better than principality tech. Second the arrogance of the Drazzan would make them look down on everybody else, making them dismissive of the rebels and their tech. Third, the timeline. The Drazzan may have been there 2 to 3 months, but not more, which leads into point 4. The scale of refit required would be enormous. They fielded 400 fighters - it could have been 1000, maybe more.
Excellent chapter, truly excellent. One man may not be able to change the whole Principality; but he’s not really just one man is he?
HURRAH! Wyatt's genius is on full display: thank you. This was all I hoped for and have been waiting for!! I can imagine all sorts for consequences ("Take that George Lintar!")
When I open up TH-cam, the first thing I check for is another The Black Ship chapter. Somehow it's StarPower
Ring the bell for notifications! And if you haven't checked out ( Adopted By Humans), do so. It's one of the funniest ones.
Victory shall suffice for me… a great new mantra for the pilots of the Noirnavio.
:::::::: takes deep breath:::::::::: love the smell of victory !!!!!! Preach it sir Wyatt!!!!
TOO BLOODY RIGHT, WYATT!!!!! too bloody RIGHT.
Survive to fight another day.
… and kill a bunch of Drazzan!!!
And the GREAT LEADER emerges still further . Great description of a Battle .
My first word at the conclusion was "Wow". Our beloved author really knows how to write a story. It makes me wonder what his background is. Ex-military perhaps, or just an incredibly gifted person who writes one hell of a story. Either way kudos, high fives, hats off, and a slute to you once again. I can't wait to find out the reaction back at the ship and I wonder if Clara will give him another reward. Perhaps a kiss for her favored knight?
Anyone that reads or hears this story MUST admit this would be a great story to watch on TV! Whether as a movie or a series...both perhaps?
Cant wait for the next chapter! This one was awesome as usual, can't wait to hear Redford Cynthia and Clara's reply to the battle.
You Know Clara will want to add the Video Footage to her collection of Fighter Engagements…. 😂
@@daghost11Clara will be drooling over the footage 😂
@@daghost11so does jincho
The confusion of his squadmates, excluding leopold, makes a lot more sense when you remember they think he's an undercover agent who was always a noble.
I wonder how they'll try to reconcile his actions and subsiquent outburst with that little theory of theirs😂
Well by now I have a feeling that Nultar either no longer believes that or had serious doubts of it, especially after his heart to heart conversation with Wyatt which end up with Wyatt telling him how Salazar Ried screwed up so badly that he’s barely a noble anymore. Think about how the 3 pilots who were born nobles in Composters reacted to Wyatt’s out burst of how stupid honor and glory are and that the one that was least bothered by it seemed to be Nultar. He unlike Gregor or Raquel did spend down time with Wyatt and realized that Wyatt is a very pragmatic person that does not care about honor and glory.
As for Gregor or Raquel I said this in another post for this chapter which does pertain to what your talking about: @carsparks1980 I have a feeling that Gregor will do either asked to be let go of Wyatt’s squadron or this will be something that pushes Gregor to grow as a person to slowly change his ways to be less rigid and be more flexible. I got the vibe that Raquel does not like how subordinates are supposed to give up some of their kills to superiors and will change to Wyatt’s way of running the squadron relatively easily.
I do think that Raquel will realize that Leopold was either right that Wyatt is truly a commoner who became a knight or is still a noble agent who has given up all desires for honor and glory to better serve the Astorian Dynasty. Gregor is going to have real noble crisis will he either follow what his superior officer Wyatt tells him to do which clashes normal noble values or will he follow noble values but goes against his superior office? I have a feeling soon will finally get a Gregor pov section where we see him struggle with this great dilemma he has! Its going to be so interesting in see how he deals with this!
Leoplold is so waiting for the perfect time to say: I told you so, that Wyatt was born a commoner!
There is no hope for the Blue woke Blood Principality. Let the Duke have Power and The Prince can start a Meritocracy out of Dirty Filthy Commoners which is probably 95 percent of The Principality
Waiting for the Hurricane to hit , but at least I have a new Episode to listen too ..Great distraction :)
Hope it is not as bas as predicted.
good luck! hopefully it's not too bad.
Hope your spared the worst of the Hurricane.
That was fast moving action, a lot was cramed into that 27 minutes and fully entertaining and engaging.
So all I can say as a listener
Loyalty is it's own Reward!
Exactly what I'm thinking!
The rebels have to be watching, Maximilian will be baffled by the military genius he was watching. He may even think twice about hostile action against the loyalists.
I'm thinking _Max_ will soon start to recruit _Wyatt_ to become a _Lone Wolf._
@@nautifella trouble is right now they are enemies on opposing sides of the conflict. I can't help but like Maximilian anyway.
@@nautifella too Loyal to clara and he really does not need too
@@quasimodotrahanaquasimodo Both are very valid reasons, and they are both reasons he would consider it. He would never go because he _NEEDED_ to, only because he wanted to.
And _Clara_ would be what he sacrifices. Nothing and nobody means more to him.
I think that they may fall in love with each other and for reasons long a varied, it can never be. Becoming a _Lone Wolf_ might provide him a way out.
@@nautifella I think Wyatt will prove to be something different, Lone Wolves appear at least in part to be all about the "Glory" of all those kills, Wyatt kills because he has to, not (except for Drazzan and possibly pirates) because he enjoys it, he is the garbage man coming to take out the trash, heaven help those who get in his way ,oh and don't even think about going after his friends, it will be the last mistake you ever make
7 am. and now on the second listen through. I am so greatful to be getting these chapters as they are posted, but I almost wish I had found it as a finished story. The anticipation is near torture waiting for the next drop!!! Peace, and thank you!
I really like how focused and principled he is. It's like listening to tales of old, when real men acted with integrity.
Likely we are all about to die today. Fight on sons and daughters of the principality so that your families and countless innocents may live another day in peace!
OMG! I'm loving this writer! Keep them coming!
Wyatt understands the logistics of war in a way that the born ‘nobles’ do not. Dead allies can’t kill any more of the enemy nor go on future missions and dead enemies can’t kill you or your allies.
That and that the Duke's forces also out number the loyalist forces something like 2 or 3 to 1. Then combine that with the fact the Noirnavio is getting no support with its solo crusade to retake this system, so every single person on board could potential make the difference of success or failure. ☺
Wyatt is not mincing words about how he feels.
This section of the two books is the absolute best. It shows depth and a creative understanding of a solder in command.
I can’t wait for the records and orders to be reviewed during debriefing, and to see the newfound respect he has from the pilots after an underdog victory like that, with minimal losses at that.
I think the majority of them had already got some respect for him as a pilot or at least were willing to follow his orders, the real issue will be did his last comments about the blur bloods go out over an open channel or only his squad
@davidorf3921
I think, as you mentioned earlier, that the rescue of the 4 pilots will have a huge weight in how the rest of the pilots will now see Wyatt, no man left behind will be a fundamental part of the "Wyatt doctrine".
@@davidorf3921I to have been wondering the same thing 🤔
Another outstanding chapter. Wyatt's tactical expertise is shown again. His leadership saved the lives of many of his group.
My man Wyatt pulled it off again. He def getting some sweets from the princess later haha
Why'd that sound dirty? Don't get me wrong, I'm assuming both clara and Cynthia have a thing for him and can see it happening, but still....😂
@@meistersgarage748 I think Cynthia likes and admires Wyatt as a fellow warrior and a friend, the reason she is training him so hard is because she knows what a bunch of arseholes her fellow nobles can be and she is trying to keep him alive, also because Wyatt has shown himself to be a genuine friend to Clara, which as we have discovered is a real rarity. Clara on the other hand initially went after Wyatt because of her thing for great pilots (this is the in joke about Wyatt being her personal pilot) however she has shown on several occasions that she really cares about him, this might or might not lead to the bedroom at some point far off into the future, but for now I think it means that she will ensure he gets pulled out of any self ignited fires before he gets too hot. That and making sure there are sweets and pastries available for those knitting sessions
@davidorf3921 all true. However i can see Cynthia desiring more from him as well.
@@meistersgarage748 wyatt will fall in love with Lady Veronica
@quasimodotrahanaquasimodo now that is a twist. Idk though, he's fiercely loyal to clara and cynthia
This battle is so F-ing EPIC!!!
Finally i got my fix...tshhh aaahhhh that´s the stuff 😉!!
Hello from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. CRIKEY, surprised again. I was anticipating the NoirNavio to come to their rescue. Another interesting revelation; glory kills.
The demise of the 3 glory seeking nobles should enable Wyatt to forbid this practice as Wing Commander. Nothing like Survival against the odds to facilitate the change process.
Now wondering when Jinko will be involved to include tactical mines into the arsenal of the fighters.
"Jinko will be involved to include tactical mines into the arsenal of the fighters."
They already are part of the arsenal, they were used to bring down the cattle ship's shields. The fighters can only carry one mine.
I would be concerned adding a second mine would add enough mass it would interfere with maneuverability.
Yoooooooooooo this had me screaming letssss goooooo what good is glory if you're dead
Dear God..., I need this series in paperback so I can have it always... even after the EMPs strip this planet of technology 🙏🙏🙏

Yes. I know know who he is, a good friend serviced under him in Korea. Unfortunately he passed away many years ago. 😔

This is turning into something very different to what I was expecting. This episode has me on the edge of my seat. This episode has been really nicely done please keep up the exceptional work and thank you.
Damm. I listened to the last part 3 times where Wyatt was ranting. Those lines are damm good. Looking forward to the reactions of the people behind his back. They won't say their true feelings and reactions to his face because he's their CO and a blue blood now so I'm looking forward to the reactions of others behind his back. OMG really really really want another chapter man. 👍

@@edgarkeisi same here

@dantepoggini7752 😂😂😊👍
Wow, I didn't knew how I needes this minutes of amazing descriptions of an even more amazing fight, loved to listen to it as always
Loyalty is its own reward!
Wyatt came to kick ass and chew bubble gum and he’s all outta gum….
You mean he came to cut weed and chew lachoa and he is all outta lachoa.
Haha Duke nukem 👍🏻
It's interesting seeing Wyatt dealing with the stress of commanding the Noirnavio fighters in a seemingly hopeless situation and trying to somehow survive this. Great scene where Wyatt decides he's not dying today! He's not going to let his subordinates down, Clara, Cynthia and Redford. 😊
Interesting twist that there's a new type of Drazin fighters. It's interesting seeing Wyatt using some of there missiles to see how the new type of Drazin fighters defenses are like. That they are faster but have weaker shields. 🤔 I do like how Wyatt convinces his squadron subordinates to trust his crazy idea as a fellow fighter pilot!😊It was interesting how Wyatt’s squadmates react to his out of the box way he convinced them to do what he wanted to do. It’s a crazy way how Wyatt plans on using remaining missiles as mines and using flares creating a sensor jamming the Drazin sensors long enough they don’t detect the missiles until its too late. Nice job of Wyatt using his knowledge of the Drazin to use their own mind set of being superior to all other sentient being against them! 😏
Great job on EkhidnaWritez on showing Wyatt’s anxiety and then focus on the moment when everything goes to plan or to hell. AWESOME scene where Wyatt just before their desperate attempt either succeeds or fails speaks from his “heart” telling them that he has done everything he can think of trying to get them back to the Noirnavio alive, while killing as many Drazin as possible. That they are to fight for the Principality, the Prince and if they are to die to kill as many of Drazin with them to protect their loved ones. No surprise that everyone listening to Wyatt’s impromptu speech responded to fervently with “Loyalty is its own reward!”☺
Interesting to see how missiles were used to mainly weaken the Drazin shields and blind them to Astorian forces suddenly changing direction and going at them. Therefore they did not see the Astorians until they were in coilgun range and chewing them up. Now this genius static has made the battle go from basically impossible to win to now 127 vs 80 quite winnable as long as they stay ahead of the Frigates anti fighter weapons range. Good job with Wyatt reminding his Wing Commanders, squadmates to focus on surviving over glory seeking and to keep out of the Frigates range. Wyatt says an epic assemble line “Composters to me!”😲
Great job EkhidnaWritez with how well the dog fight between Astorians and Drazin pirates, especially how chaotic it would be with it devolving into furball. I am not surprised that the end of the dog fight that about 50 Drazin fighters retreated to the frigates. I am not surprised that pragmatic Wyatt is annoyed with noble ideocracy of not taking someone else’s “kill” like how Gregor and Raquel didn’t want to take his kill and in doing so nearly get him killed! Then his furry is redirected from them when he sees 3 Astorian fighters pursuing the retreating Drazin fighters and comms them to chew them out! I am not sure if Sirus 1 is speaking truefully or just covering his ass but I suspect the latter.
I am not surprise that the 3 idots who chased after the retreating fighters ended up getting killed when the retreating fighters realized those 3 Astorian fighter were alone and slaughtered them with ease. I do love how Wyatt uses their deaths as further giving his point of view further credit, that its time to get the hell out of their now! I do like how Leopold is the one to realize that Wyatt does not know about glory kill accolades and that combine with his pragmatic view is the reason why he’s totally confused why his squadmates did not kill the fighters he was going after. I was surprised with how few Astorian starfighters were killed with less than 15! 😲No surprise that Wyatt ends up deciding to no leave any potential survivors to potentially getting caught by Drazin.
I do like how Wyatt does hope the 3 pilot who died going for glory kills don’t have angry irrational brothers (like Salazar Ried)! I do like how Wyatt asks Leopold what Glory kills are but its Nultar explain what are GK’s are when they were safe retreat to the Noirnavio. I am not surprised when Wyatt learns what GK kills are it causes his long term frustration with blue bloods and their stupid obsession with Honor and Glory, combine with it nearly getting him kill less than 15 minutes ago has him chewing out Gregor and Raquel! He rants on about what are glory and honor good for if your dead. What does honor taste like and what does glory look like? 🤬
Glory looks like a destroyed fighter and honor tastes like ash. That if they want to honor him, they kill the enemy, if they want to go for glory kills he will no longer try to stop people going for them and getting themselves killed. All he cares about is completing the mission, surviving and having as many of his subordinates alive. Awesome job EkhidnaWritez with this epic line at the prefect time: “Keep your precious honor, drink your rancid glory, you can take them, victory shall suffice for me!” 🤬I feeling that Leoplod is loving how Wyatt shows his commoner roots with his rant about the stupidity of noble’s obsession of honor and glory and how he does not give a shit about it!🤣😂 Wyatt is saying all the things that Leopold probably has wanted to say to nobles but has been unable to do so since he is a commoner.
@@Soundwave119 Wyatt just showed his true Colors & Strengths- Glory & Accolades means nothing, Survival of his Men, with Dead & Burning Drazzan means so much more…
His Final & Scathing Rant, will have lasting repercussions, and felt across the Principality as a Whole…
Wyatt’s skills & tactical mind combined with unconventional means, will cause those under him to not only respect him more, because He leads from the front & by example, he does look to waste their lives as meat shields or Glory Seeking… there’s no Glory in Death…
@@Soundwave119 Honor & Glory means Nothing… Dead & Burning Drazzan while surviving means everything…
@daghost11 Yes his rant will have repercussions in his squadron but it's going to be a long time before it will reverberate around the Noirnavio much less the Principality.
I do think that Noltar will be among the 1st nobles that will follow his example. 😊
It will be how he leads and doesn't look for glory will be how slowly more and more more open minded nobles will follow his example. 😊 Good to see you back again after not seeing you in the comments section last video. 😊
@@daghost11Honor and glory do mean things but in moderation with focusing on completing the mission as well as possible. From that you can gain proper honor and glory. 😊
@@daghost11 The after action episode will be interesting. Gregor may decide he can't serve under Wyatt anymore - the culture shock may be too intense. Regardless, I see an interesting set of conversations coming up.
Especially because Maximilian will realize 2 things, if he can get some sensor and/or comms intercept data.
1. He will realize Redford was not in direct control of the fighter wing....
2. Because the jammers were active, and Redford, as commander, would have stayed on the Noirnavio.
There's a new kid on the block.
Your writing puts me in the story watching and listening. You use your words to open the readers or listeners mind to create the scene. Well done. I await our next viewing Wyatt’s story.
Can't wait for next chapter
I can never wait!
Wyatt is going to single handedly change all the rules of battle in the princes fleet at this point
I’ve had to listen to the entire chapter (thus far) multiple times. I just hope the next part is released soon! Great story.
If the release time stays like it's been. Then it should be out Tuesday.
Hell ya Wyatt!!!
Wonder how mad Clara and Cynthia will be at Wyatt ,We all know his lecture will be never ending ..from both women and and Clara will ofc brag to her brother....and don't forget Jincgo will be dying to make his improvement's
He came back and he brought 90% of his pilots with him, his speech on the stupidity of seaking glory when surrounded by enemies would go down badly with many superiors, but I think Redford will probably quietly agree, Clara on the other hand knows how important keeping those pilots alive was
No Jingo will crumply call Wyatt a maniac and other names for damaging his fighter ,then he will repair it with mods ,as for Clara and Cynthia they will be happy he survived .
@@davidorf3921I can see Redford & Clara agreeing to Wyatt’s promotion to Lieutenant Commander after this and Firmly cementing his position as CAG, with no arguments from the rest of the Wing… Not only did they Win decisively, but he’s bringing 95% of the Home to fight another day, when the Simulations predicted more than a 50% Loss of the fighter Wing…
The Only question will be- How many actual Kills did Wyatt achieve… to go in addition to their Battle Skulls…
Daghost11
I think we Will know, for me at least 10.
@@daghost11 there are more stages in the authors rank system, 1st Lt is next then Lt Commodore, then Commodore, after that I think Lt Commander, Commander, Captain and probably several Admiral ranks, apparently they need all the ranks to keep the nobles happy LOL, I believe he lost 12 ships but recovered 4 pilots so he lost 10% of his pilots , as to how many kills, I believe 15 in a single combat event makes you an ace, the question becomes do the tactics that he orders the other pilots to carry out give him bonuses because in that case he just got 300 kills plus individual dogfights for another 10 or so
❤❤❤. Finally!! One of the best chapters so far.
That sentiment at the end…
I think I would phrase it as “The honor of saving friendlies is greater than the glory of destroying enemies.” Or “Saving friendlies is more honorable than killing enemies.”
There is little honor in dying stupid, the thing about honor is to defeat the enemy by vanquishing them and living to fight another day if possible. Honor is being able to bring your people back alive if possible too.
I agree the reason they are soldiers and pilots is to protect people. They have to kill to do that sure, but that's why Wyatt is there. To protect the people of the principality.
As Patton said, you don't win a war by dying for your country, you make the other dumb SOB die for his... that is what Wyatt is teaching them Whether he knows it or not...
If presented no other choice and he was going to die, then he would've taken the fight to them. However, as it was said, it wasn't just him there and he was making sure they had a fighting chance. Living to do their duty longer meant living to kill more=living longer to indirectly save innocents
Great episode!!! It is episodes like this that make this series my favorite!!! Glory and honor are not gained by an individual, but are earned thru the selfless actions of an individual for his fellow warriors!
Truly exceptional chapter!!! Creative way of surviving with the odds stacked against you. But this talk of honor and glory just amplifies what Redford said a while back. They are among the weakest nations because of how the think,act and govern themselves. The 3 pilots petfectly reinforce this by making the dumb decision to go for honor instead or recognizing that they can live to fight another day. Then you hear this notion of Glory kills which rightfully sets Wyatt off, it is strategically and tactically stupid. I hope author further expands this by showing waiting traitors making the same mistakes deal with remaining foes when they try come in for the obvious sneak attack.
They forgot the Number 1 Rule of Warfare- Never pursuit a Retreating Enemy, for you never know if they’re leading you into a Trap or Ambush… Glory only serves to get people Killed…
You know Jinjo and clara will both want to see the data on those fights with the Drazzan .
May be, Jinjo will find a way to make the fighters faster.
@@snowwolf8186or make jumps
I just caught this the flight leaders said that “If Wyatt’s plan failed and they sum how survived they would do what ever to have Wyatt removed.” But his plan did not fail, so we now know you can not take a noble at their word.
bestest series on here!
'Victory Shall Suffice', battle cry of house Staples
Thanks! 🎉
Jose, thank you so much!
At this point, im sure Clara will make Jincho Wyatt's personal technician and probably give him a team to not only improve the Composters fighters to fit the pilot, but also have him be the the head of a division for all the fighters. I believe she'll give him free reign to make whatever improvements he wants. Him and her will probably bond over the fighter data and video of the fight. I hope they watch it together because she seems to like Jincho because he's so laid back.
Im sure Redford will be shocked with the strategy Wyatt came up with.
Nice! Been waiting for wyatt to let rip, hoping he get Clara and Redford to ban such stupid traditions that are causing unnecessary losses
To ban traditions would start an up roar. This must work its self out by showing at times it only gets you killed with no glory at all.
Listening to these chapters have got to be my most anticipated weekly activity! What a great series
My god Whyat is cooking, both drazan an a blueberry's, i hope we will have a scene were Redford and Clara just staring down the pilot while on background sounded his speech about glory
They agree with him though
Another great an electrifying chapter ❗
I always love an update of the black ship!
Thank you for this exciting chapter!!!
the story is really starting to gain momentum now, Wyatt is showing his superiority in tactics, the commoners adore him, the nobles still look down on Wyatt but respect his tactics. what a fun story!
Wyatt pulled the rabbit out, and I hope everyone of the pilots heard his speech, not just his squad
Pretty sure his rant against glory-seeking was on his squad’s private channel, but I have a feeling everyone else will hear his views soon enough.
@@StrategeryJack I think the same, Wyatt's not stupid though so before he totally changes 100's of years of "tradition" I think he's going to run it by Clara and Redford first
I think this was Grego trying to say when Wyatt started his rant/speech. He was in the open channel... he may have accidentally switched it to open channel. that's my take
@@jayreyes9746 you might be correct
Seems like petty blue bloods will be petty blue bloods no matter what.
As we all know, Wyatt shines brighter under pressure. ❤❤ Loved it. Hope you guys enjoy it as well...
Clara, Cynthia, Redford, and the rest of Wyatt's closest friends will be proud of him and his capacity to adapt to the situation. ❤❤❤ Clara better give him an entire plate of pastries 🍰 🍰🍰
Clara's going to get him a book so that he can bake them himself. (Because you know she'll hold knitting breaks every time he's finished baking.)
@@frankrobinsjr.1719 LOL I think that Clara might let Wyatt buy his own book but ask her Pastry chef to maybe help Wyatt in some way, a little guidance at least

Thank you for sharing another great segment to this wonderful story!
I like to imagine Sunraku’s battle theme playing whenever Wyatt’s in combat.
Also I wonder what Clara’s reaction is going to be to this ‘impossible’ victory
no AC/DC's SHOOT TO THRILL
Cakes all around ?
I am so hear for this
Can't wait for the next chapter this one was one of my favourites !
I'm really, REALLY curious about how the pilots react to his speech especially the composters (or maybe he was only talking to his squadron not sure), I'm also wondering if Maximilian and co were watching the battle with probes (which they said they would send into Gintrax).
Wyatt's either gonna end up reforming the whole fighter side of the navy or having a wing of fanatics ready to throw honour away in a breath for the chance to save their own, love it ¡
By my stars and garters I cant wait for the next ep, so hyped to see the results of that speech
Thanks for the story, keep them coming!
