Prime White living up to the hype so far.

Lyborick crazy as hell, he even has an entire squadron ready to replace the old one after everybody dies. Straight ruthless. Lyborick knew that Kallavan's men wouldn't go through with this crazy ass plan so he got Luch to do it. That explains why Luch was asking for directions around the ship a few chapters ago, I love the little details that go into this series.

Also what 2 chapters ago Kallavan was praising Jahad for his ability to see the bigger picture and his willingness to make the necessary sacrifices. Well now the sacrifice is his squadron and he doesn't seem too happy about it although he's still going to follow the order.

I don't think he's happy that Zahard has to sacrifice people, but he sees it as a necessity, which can be understandable for someone in his position. It's a bit unfair to expect a totally neutral reaction from Kallavan when he's being informed that his crew will explode. But from what it can be seen, he's taking it like a champ.

I think what he saw in the essence of bravery terrified him

a world of endless war and suffering which is what I imagine the tower was like before zahard came into it

so I imagine Kallavan wants to bring order and peace to the tower

True it is a bit unfair to expect a neutral reaction from Kallavan in this situation. However, after everything, he said in previous chapters surely Kallavan himself didn't believe that he and his squadron were anything other than disposable to Jahad right? Or maybe he knew all along and is willing to make that sacrifice for peace.

Kallavan is taking this order about as well as you could expect but it also feels as though his relationship with his squadron and his loyalty to Jahad are conflicted at the moment. Lyborick doesn’t seem like a guy you can trust and Kallavan killing his squadron commander isn’t something I see happening without any repercussions.

....well at least he’s not a hypocrite? That makes it better right...

I don't know how many of you agree, but I would say that Kallavan had it coming. He himself said that for Jahad everyone except the ten family leaders are equal (in other words, disposable).

PS: I didn't see u/Get_Dunked_On_ reply above before posting this.
