Ep 15. An Army That Does Not Kill

In this episode of Plunderer, titled "An Army That Does Not Kill," we are introduced to a squadron of soldiers who refuse to kill. As they march towards their destination, they are confronted by a group of Plunderers who demand they hand over their ballots. When the soldiers refuse, a battle ensues. However, instead of fighting to kill, the soldiers use non-lethal techniques to subdue their opponents.

Meanwhile, Hina and Licht continue their journey to find the legendary Ace. Along the way, they come across a small town that has been taken over by a group of thugs. Hina and Licht reveal their true identities as Ballot Holders and offer to help the town, but the townspeople are skeptical and refuse their offer. Undeterred, Hina and Licht begin to devise a plan to take back the town.

Back with the soldiers, we learn the reason why they refuse to kill. Their commander, Schmelman, has implemented a system where soldiers are rewarded for the number of ballots they collect and the number of people they kill. However, many of the soldiers are disgusted by this and refuse to participate. As the battle with the Plunderers continues, the soldiers are able to gain the upper hand using their non-lethal techniques.

Hina and Licht's plan to take back the town involves using Licht's unique ability to create illusions. They create a fake Ballot Holder and use it to distract the thugs while the townspeople are able to escape to safety. With the town back in their control, Hina and Licht are finally able to earn the trust of the townspeople.

The episode ends with the soldiers continuing on their journey and Hina and Licht setting off once again to find the Ace. However, as they part ways, they are ambushed by a group of mysterious soldiers who seem to be after Hina's ballot. The episode concludes with a cliffhanger as we are left wondering who these soldiers are and what their intentions are.

Overall, "An Army That Does Not Kill" is an action-packed episode that explores the moral and ethical complexities of war. By introducing a group of soldiers who refuse to kill, the episode challenges viewers to consider the role violence plays in conflicts and offers a more nuanced perspective on the nature of warfare. With plenty of twists and turns, this episode sets the stage for an exciting continuation of the series.
