Video memory technology is underdeveloped in this world.

Evelis says, 'Not without means, but at a high cost'.

But the art of far-sightedness, which mirrors what is now there, was relatively common.

"Hey, you caught me brilliantly. Yesterday, today."

"The killer will return to the crime scene."

There, a little further into the back of the dense forest from the attacked fields.

It's a room in a building like a digging shed that magically raised dirt and turned it into a rock.

It was made for now as a base for work surveillance, but now this was the 'guard room'.

A distant crystal ball lined up sloppily on a broad desk emits a blurry light in the dark room.

Since the discovery of "field vandalism," the Renées have immediately prepared themselves for "fishing".

First, we eliminate the power of the 'order' that has saturated evil and lingered.

Evelis then planted tons of 'surveillance cameras' around him.

Later, 'Transipole' was reinstalled, and once again after nightfall, Skeleton Opening Squad set out.

Day and leisure are no different.

I also tried to increase perimeter security just in case, but the Kaiju team connected to finish the work and retreated at sunset.

And it was just after sundown that the anomaly happened.

Something glowing appears in the view beyond the crystal balls, in the fields swallowed by darkness at approaching nights.

Lumps of light gushing out of the ground so that hot air can stand and become man-made.

The silhouette was fine, but from a long body and pointy ears, it was like an elf. That's a few.

The shadow of light, which looked like an elf, each had a bow of light in his hand.

When an arrow of light is emitted from it, it bursts.

"... Bomb bow and arrow?

"Mmm, that's what it looks like."

It was more like a magic bullet than an arrow.

A field that was so well plowed and seeded at any time, a 'transit pole' to move the labor undead, is destroyed by a carpet bombardment of arrows of light.

And so the elves vanished, where one side of the perimeter was devastated.

The human-shaped light disappeared, breaking the contour and scattering and dissolving in the wind.

"Appears only at night, the ghost of the elves..."

"I wonder if it's different from ghosts. I don't know what to say, something awfully weird.

Besides, if you just did it, you'd disappear like smoke. Anyway, I can't believe you just disappeared. "

Apparently it's an odd thing to think about, even if you do an EXPO strong Evelis.

Even the giant breasts come up because of the armband and don't say hello to the teenager.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but just north of this place is the big 'Elf Forest'. I told you beforehand, didn't I?

Evelis placed an accessory with green gems on his desk and placed three demonic stones around it, like blue squared sugar, in reverse triangles.

I wonder if Brooch is showing the Elf Forest and the Demon Stone is showing up a nation state.

"There's an elf forest in the middle, surrounded by three human states: Northwest, Northeast, South.

However, there are other rare relationships between these three countries and the elves. Almost every pulse in the area is managed by the elves. "

"... why?

"I don't know. The only thing that's clear is that the elves are somehow controlling the ground vein. Once upon a time, there were no such special circumstances when this was a demonic power zone... and even if something happened, we should be talking about the last 200 years or so.

Actually, I even tried to find out when I was in the Demon King's Army, but I wasn't even talking about the front line, so the budget and personnel priorities drop, and the Elf Forest is hard guarded and I don't know anything about it.

Of course, the three surrounding countries rebelled, but in the end they couldn't do anything about it, and now it feels like they're all alive with the mercy of the elves. "

Elves are a kind of human race. It is a species that lives in the woods, with a graceful figure and a long life.

They ordinarily enshrine massive forests throughout their territory, forming tribal societies to live in. The forest where the elves live is turned into a restricted area from which the outsiders do not enter even elves in other woods, rather than people.

Such a 'forest of elves' existed in many ways in this world.

Except for some strangers, the elves just don't pay much attention or try to get too involved in events outside the woods.

Would it be more appropriate to say attractive temperament than to say exclusive because we do business with humans or join the battle against demons?

Four hundred years before the entire human race was in danger of survival, even elves mixed, lived and fought with other peoples (although interracial marriages seemed to have been suppressed in reverse on the grounds that children would be less likely to be born), and the ancients of long-lived elves see and know their times with their eyes. It didn't mean it was hostile to other people.

Whatever it is, the circumstances of the elves living in your neighborhood just north of this place are odd.

They don't know exactly what the elves are doing for, either, the humans holding the lifeline of the earth's pulse.

This time, the anomalies that took place on Rene's territory and the elves of the north.

There's no evidence to connect this and think about it, but you can't even say it's a leap of thought.

"Nah, that's creepy. I haven't even been able to unpack the move yet, but I need to crack the investigation as soon as possible."

"Oh, good. Anyway, we have to get that forest."

Rene sighs.

It is not preferable to have more unexpected hassles, but we no longer have to trample and run through that hassle as well.

"How much will that forest endure against the Imperial Blue Army?

"... I guess it depends on the sturdiness of the forest itself. As long as there's a forest, I think we'll endure it."

"Speaking of which, there was a country on Earth that sprinkled poison to get rid of the dense forest in order to defeat the guerrillas hidden in the dense forest..."

"Whoa, nice. With that evil.

It's just a way of fighting to destroy, isn't it? How does the Empire intend to handle the elves... "

Evelis shrugged like any other HR.

The way the Kanis Empire invaded was simple and lucid.

We will press for annexation as a big name to counter the demonic threat.

Some countries surrender and defer at that stage, but it is still often a war.

Some say it's better to surrender from the start, silly as challenging the mighty Kanis Empire to battle against him...

But if it is put under control, it will thoroughly destroy the system as a state, and the form of government will change dramatically. That's all I'm afraid of people who were supposed to go on living the same for the rest of their lives.

People newly added to the empire will also be treated second-class for some time. The nobles are kicked out by Ichii. The people are taken into military service and made a new force to attack and defeat the country. If you powder yourself and devote yourself to the Empire, and you are not recognized, you will be spoiled to the degree of 'Better than Slave'.

Because I know so, the people targeted by the Canis Empire challenge the fight.

To put it further, this is not, of course, limited to the invasion of the Kanis Empire, but war is easy for the defensive side to prevail.

It is geologically beneficial, easy to replenish, has high morale and, above all, pulls magic out of the ground vein to move defensive weapons.

Not undefeated with the Kanis Empire.

If only we could create a perfect defense system. Hands in hand with neighbouring countries. If you are a hero of our country. If you get the back shield of Diretta or Noaculio. If surpassed by tactics. If the nation unites. If you attack your neighbor and aim where you are exhausted.

Wouldn't it also be possible to take one victory and conclude a harmony of substantive reciprocity?

... the countries that fought with that in mind have been crushed, needless to say, mostly by the Kanis Empire.

The Canis Empire, on the other hand, also gives candy to the ruling areas.

Being a part of a big country has enormous benefits.

Infrastructures such as roads and water supply are being maintained and commerce is being revitalized.

Not that there is no corruption in the officials, but the voice also rises from those who were once frustrated that the reign of the Canis Empire, ruled by numerous laws, is better than being swept by the whims of the nobles.

Also, the Canis Empire is a bureaucratic country where nobility does not exist. Even those born into civilians can break through exams and become bureaucrats if they are talented. That was an easier way to go than to get a handle on it and get a title.

Furthermore, the Kanis Empire also invests in education.

It is also due to poor friendship with Diletta and the Temple forces, but many 'applied schools' have been created separate from the schools opened by the Temple. The temple offers a diverse education that goes beyond the knowledge given to it by the gods, and there is no need for technological development. The new empire will also benefit from it. Higher standards of education will enrich lives and pave the way for growth for talented people.

Especially children who show superior talent are gathered from all over the country to be educated as elites in the capital. Will they eventually work for the court, or will they go back to the locality and become local deputies… Either way, they can live like royal marquis nobles, not only in person, but even their families.

As a result, good people are taken to the institutional side, and the reign of the Kanis Empire becomes even more daunting.

"The Kanis Empire invades with the faces of angels and demons," the sara poet says in his reputation.

On flowing blood and tears, but still build an unshakeable order. It was a country that could do that.

The Imperial Blue Army, which is responsible for the eastern side of the Kanis Empire, had so far planned to make a southerly detour through the Ku Lukal Mountains from the east.

The target now is the three human states, in a position such as the one that took on the eastern edge of the Ku Lukal Mountains. And the "Elf Forest" that exists at its center.

The forces of the three countries + α formed a united military alliance to counter the invasion of the Kanis Empire. And beaten and scattered by Cotempan in the crossfire, the Dotholas Union northwest of the forest and the Duchy of Cadennis northeast declare surrender. The Blue Army is staring at the Great Forest of Gausenfall, where the elves live, and the Kingdom of Lugart, which lies to the south of it.

The Red Army had already conveyed suspicious stories of a sudden path to the mountains and information that the "Princess Rose of Grievances" had set up south of Lugart, but once the battle had begun… it was not easy to cut up the victory immediately.

To create a foothold for the future, I just wanted to keep at least the Great Forest of Gausenfall in my hands.

That's also because the pulse of the three countries, mainly the Great Forest of Gazenfall, is controlled by the forest elves (unclear how they can do that).

For one thing, the Blue Army is forming southeast of Dotorus, but the ground vein is withering like a river that closed the Watergate, and it is a little difficult to rebuild itself.

Bases that can't use ground veins are less valuable. Assuming you get attacked, you can't move defensive weapons, and if you're relying on demonic machines (artifacts) for the city's infrastructure, it's also paralyzing, difficult for ritual magic and lacking in communication.

We should use the surplus of two countries to gain access to the Great Forest Landscape.

The recommendations put forward by the tribes of the elves living in the Great Forest of Gaisenfall are the same as those addressed to the human State. Put him under the control of the Empire.

But then the forest belongs to the Kanis Empire. The elves revolted against this. Because the elves had a much stronger and heavier obsession with the forest than humans had with the land and the country.

The decision taken by the Council of Elders is a complete antiwar.

The elves do not pray to God, but worship their fathers and ancestral spirits. We believe that the forest is a system that directs the cycle of souls, a sacred place where the souls of the fathers and ancestral spirits dwell. Roughing it up at will with human hands was also tantamount to the deprivation of faith, an event that could never be seen.

But they were never here to fight, knowing they were going to lose and ready to be miserable.

The elves of the Great Forest of Gaisenfall have a virtually dominant past of fighting the three surrounding countries for the liberation of their veins, which means they also have experience in the fight against humans. Once caged in the woods, he boasted invincible defeat, and beat his attacker where he exhausted him, he could easily make a victory.

The memories of that time were still alive among the elves, bringing victory and optimism.

Of course, it didn't take long for that to prove a mistake.
