EP.57 The Great Elf War
The Great Elf War. It was a name that perfectly encapsulated the magnitude of the conflict. It was a colossal war involving the ruler of the southern hemisphere, Muwan, and the alliance of Lasi, the representative of Lumolasi, and Rodri, the priest of the Holy Nation. The battle between these two forces lasted for a staggering five years.
Considering that their population was relatively small, numbering in the millions despite their vast territories, and that the number of warriors capable of fighting was just under 100,000, the war’s duration was remarkable. The reason was simple: the elves’ bodies were incredibly strong and resilient. Additionally, they possessed the power of spirits bestowed by Rios, allowing them to quickly recover from most wounds and continue fighting.
With both sides engaged in a war of attrition without actually depleting their forces, it was inevitable that the conflict would drag on.
“This won’t end at this rate.”
“Moreover, we are on an expedition. Although we are rotating our troops through supply lines due to our numerical advantage, there are limits to this approach.”
“Hmm…”
Muwan’s side was in a state of emergency. The longer the war dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for them. Being on a distant expedition, they had to rely on supplies from their far-off main base. Initially, they managed through looting and hunting, but as the war extended, even that became difficult.
