In the Kingdom of Brune, King Faron suffers an illness and Dukes Felix Aaron Thenardier and Maximilian Bennusa Ganelon get into a power struggle. In response to this matter, the neighboring Kingdom of Zhcted sends the Vanadis Eleonora Viltaria to invade Brune. After wiping out the entire Brunish army, Elen captures the Alsace count Tigrevurmud Vorn and holds him for ransom in Leitmeritz. But instead of paying for the ransom, Thenardier sends his son Zion to invade Alsace. Hearing of this invasion, Tigre is forced to have Elen loan her troops to him to battle Zion. They are able to rescue Alsace and Titta, Tigre’s loyal maid, and kill Zion, but the Brune Civil War has begun.

* AnArmAndALeg: Zion gets his hand shot by Tigre when he is attempting to rape Titta in the second act and [[DirtyCoward runs away as fast as he can]]. And, of course, in the finale, Zion’s arm is pierced by Tigre during his duel and escapes again, but Tigre and Elen [[CharacterDeath kill him before he can get the chance to escape]].

* CallForward:
** Zion’s invasion of Alsace is eerily similar to what Muozinel would do to Brune in volumes 4 and 13.
** Titta almost gets molested by Zion, referencing Greast’s successful molestation of Elen in volume 13.
** Towards the end of the volume, Zion refers to Tigre as a traitor, which is exactly what happens to Tigre in volumes 3 and 12.
* TheCavalry: Tigre and Elen arrive at Alsace and rescue Titta from being raped by Zion, and Zion and his allies escape.

However, all of the women and children are able to find shelter in the local temples and the men are sent to the woods.
* GambitRoulette: Ganelon and Thenardier’s plans to start Brune's civil war requires that the Brunish Prince Regnas would fall in battle so that the renowned war maiden Eleonora Viltaria would capture Count Tigrevurmud Vorn to hold him for ransom so that Zion can launch an assault on Alsace and sell the citizens as slaves en masse to Muozinel in order to gain total control of Brune and overthrow the poisoned King Faron.

* MortonsFork: After Tigre is stopped by Elen when he is about to leave for Alsace, he is faced with a morally grey decision: go out alone to stop Zion's 5,000 troops, which would lead to his death, or let Elen kill him, which would lead to Zion burning Alsace to the ground and indirectly lead to Thenardier assuming control of Brune. [[TakeAThirdOption Tigre asks Elen to lend him her troops]], and it works.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Lim and all of Elen's troops get this reaction when Tigre shoots down the bandit who interfered with his training.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The invasion of Alsace give some similarities to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, particularly in Leni Riefenstahl's ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' where Zion is observing his troops from a hilltop during the Alsace invasion. In addition, Duke Thenardier orchestrated the invasion of Alsace to gain more power similar to how UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler had some of his army pose as Polish citizens and attack their own key buildings so he would have the excuse to invade Poland.
* OhCrap:
** Titta gets this [[RuleOfThree three times]]: when Zion’s forces invade Alsace, when Zion infiltrates Tigre’s home, and when Zion [[AttemptedRape is about to rape her]].

** Once Tigre stops Zion’s rape of Titta in Alsace, Zion makes a quick break for it.
** Zion does this again when he is defeated in the Battle of Molsheim, but Tigre and Elen make short work of him before he can do so.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Prince Regnas and Zion Thenardier have very important roles to play despite having little screen time. The prince’s demise at the Dinant Plains leads to Elen capturing Tigre and taking him as her prisoner. Afterwards, Zion, the volume’s BigBad, is sent by his father to invade Alsace to eliminate Tigre and his people. However, his death leads to Duke Thenardier plotting to exact his revenge on Tigre and Brune’s civil war has begun.
* SoleSurvivor: Tigre appears to be the only survivor to survive Elen’s assault on Dinant; most of his allies are dead and/or have escaped, and Tigre himself was PlayingPossum after he was knocked down.
* SoreLoser: Zion by the end of the volume. Elen even lampshades this.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Bertrand. Had he not infiltrate Zhcted on Mashas’s orders, he would not have been captured by Leitmeritz guards and Alsace’s invasion would go unnoticed by either Tigre, Elen or Zhcted.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When Tigre is about to duel with Zion, he basically tells Zion that his acts are unforgivable.
* TooDumbToLive: It’s rather inadvisable to rape a maid, because it means trouble.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** At first, Lim, Ryurik and Elen's troops underestimate his archery skills during his training. They realize Tigre's true worth when he shoots down a bandit aiming for Elen.
** Zion seriously underestimates Tigre’s archery skills and nobility. Zion pays for this with his life.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Faron sends Prince Regnas and a fleet of 25,000 soldiers to the Dinant Plains, only for Elen to take Tigre for ransom and Prince Regnas to seemingly perish; as a result of Faron and Elen’s actions, Zion launches an invasion of Alsace and ultimately leads to the start of Brune’s civil war.
* VillainousBreakdown: Zion suffers this after being defeated at the Battle of Molsheim.
* TheWarHasJustBegun: Tigre and his allies save Alsace from Zion’s grasp. Unfortunately for them, Brune’s civil war has already begun.
* WouldHitAGirl: Zion’s AttemptedRape on Titta counts.

* AlasPoorVillain: Zion was admittedly an asshole, but you have to feel sorry for him since he loves his father.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: With Ryurik and Zion as the ringleaders. Just before Elen’s attack at Dinant, Zion mercilessly mocks Tigre for his archery skills even when he attempts to stop Zion from breaking his bow, but fortunately, Mashas intervenes. In Leitmeritz, Ryurik, along with Lim and the other citizens makes no secret in their dislike of Tigre at first due to a possible rumor about a war maiden falling in love with an archer at first sight could lead to a potential scandal, him missing the targets at the practice range due to a poorly made bow ''and'' Tigre shooting Lim’s horse in the Battle at Dinant, but fortunately, their viewpoints change when Tigre shoots down the bandit attempting to kill Elen during his training and when Tigre asks Elen to lend him her men.

* AnArmAndALeg: Zion gets his hand shot by Tigre when he is attempting to rape Titta in the second act and [[DirtyCoward runs away as fast as he can]].

* BoyMeetsGirl: Tigre and Elen first meet in the opening of the volume after the ActionPrologue.
* ButtMonkey: Titta gets the crap kicked out of her in this volume; she gets chased around the house, her clothes torn open, her knife knocked out of her hand and finally getting cornered and nearly violated by Zion while he mocks her.
* CallForward:
** Zion’s invasion of Alsace is eerily similar to what Muozinel would do to Brune in volumes 4 and 13.

However, all of the women and children are able to find shelter in the local temples and the men are sent to the woods.
* GambitRoulette: Ganelon and Thenardier’s plans to start Brune's civil war requires that the Brunish Prince Regnas would fall in battle so that the renowned war maiden Eleonora Viltaria would capture Count Tigrevurmud Vorn to hold him for ransom so that Zion can launch an assault on Alsace and sell the citizens as slaves en masse to Muozinel in order to gain total control of Brune and overthrow the poisoned King Faron.

* MortonsFork: After Tigre is stopped by Elen when he is about to leave for Alsace, he is faced with a morally grey decision: go out alone to stop Zion's 5,000 troops, which would lead to his death, or let Elen kill him, which would lead to Zion burning Alsace to the ground and indirectly lead to Thenardier assuming control of Brune. [[TakeAThirdOption Tigre asks Elen to lend him her troops]], and it works.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Lim and all of Elen's troops get this reaction when Tigre shoots down the bandit who interfered with his training.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The invasion of Alsace give some similarities to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, particularly in Leni Riefenstahl's ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' where Zion is observing his troops from a hilltop during the Alsace invasion. In addition, Duke Thenardier orchestrated the invasion of Alsace to gain more power similar to how UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler had some of his army pose as Polish citizens and attack their own key buildings so he would have the excuse to invade Poland.
