Bro for the first time I'm confused, everything I read I knew how plot was going but here ...

Because the manhwa is mistranslated. The translatos don't refer to previous chapters or the novel, so some parts don't even make sense.

The biggest issue is that Korean doesn't use clear pronouns, so you have to guess from context if it's "I", or "you", or "he/she" etc.

One sentence in the latest chapter (ch 142) was Cale saying to Tunka "You said that your crown prince calles me his friend, right?" And Tunka gets embarrassed. This makes no sense, right?

What Cale actually said was "The crown prince said that you called me your friend, right?" and Tunka gets flustered bc he said Cale is his friend to someone and Cale found out.

If the translator was following the story, they would be able to understand from context, because Cale found this out when Crown prince called him while visiting the Empire and was like, why is the Jungle queen calling you the savior of the Jungle and the Whipper kingdom's commander called you his friend??? You crazy bastard, what have you been doing?? Oh, btw the pope exploded. - Alberu, some chapters ago.

The whole discussion about the documents is also slightly mistranslated which affects the whole picture like a chain reaction and it stops being comprehensible.

This shows that the transaltors are focused on pushing the chapters out with minimal effort. This is not the issue of only the unofficial translations, though. While I haven't read the officials of this manhwa, some officials novels and manhwas I bought over time have been much worse translated than fan translations.

Though I heard this novel is being published physically by Seven Seas and they are referring to the fan translations. So far I've heard it's good. I'm going to buy it soon.

Oh, so my main takeaway from this is that if you see a weird sentence that doesn't make sense, try mixing up the pronouns and see if it makes sense.

Thanks for this. Question you may be able to answer - So there’s Tonka and then the guy in green with light brown hair, I think he’s a prince of the kingdom the mage tower was in? I’m confused on if he and Tonka are ‘coworkers’ or against each other. Especially when it came to buying those documents, why would Tonka have any need of mage documents, anyway?

I'm not who you asked and my memory is hazy, but guy in green with light brown hair (Harol) was Toonka's ally and has his own faction that worked with the barbarians in the rebellion.

He's pretty much in an advisory/administration/strategist kind of role at the moment, or vice leader I guess. He does hate the mages and magic, but understands its value and is willing to make the most of that.

At least that's most of what I remember
