At first, no one paid attention.
Everyone thought it was just a small skirmish at the border.
Those pointy-eared scoundrels probably got restless and wanted to take advantage of the First Empire losing its status as a Holy Country.
Hmph! Ridiculous!
The First Empire is strong and mighty! Even without the blessing of the Holy Light Goddess or support from the Holy Light Church,
it wouldn't allow mere elves to gain any advantage!
Whether commoners or nobles, everyone had the same thought in their hearts.
If we can't handle the Holy Light Church, surely we can handle you?
Then, in less than half a month,
over 80% of the Empire was completely overrun, with such exaggerated enemy-to-friendly casualty ratios that no one even wanted to seriously calculate them.
What was supposed to be a well-fought border skirmish, where the nation believed we held the advantage, was meant to be as easy as taking out the trash when going downstairs to get a meal.
