The rain had lasted for more than fifteen hours by now.
The terrain around Banlo City was mainly tropical woods and swamps. The shallow wet ground had turned into little ponds covered by algae.
Mud was constantly washing down from the Andes Mountains. The woods were soaked in a lake of mud, leaving little solid ground.
The Brown Rebels had already adapted to the environment. They were using the vines in the woods to create walkable paths.
It was similar to putting a net on the surface of water. Those who were familiar with walking on the vines could move freely around the swamp.
The Federation's army was obviously not very good at it. A huge army had gathered outside Banlo City, but it stopped moving after it reached the swamps and the woods.
He is staying RIGHT on trope.
Also, the original words are literally calling him Black Chimpanzee instead of Lt. Colonel Mason, but the heavy racism in that means we are selectively cutting it way back.
He's definitely written as really dumb, however.
