Damn, we knew the Dark Elves were persecuted and driven their lands. But didn't know Elfind had done this much.

Thanks for the translation.

Before going past the first page: "Ooh, a trigger warning? This is gonna be good."
After finishing the chapter: "...that's it?"

That wasn't exactly worth a trigger warning, I think. Sure, it was pretty messed up that the deceased dark elves didn't get a proper burial, but there wasn't anything triggering at all. Maybe I'm just too thick skinned to notice whatever the trigger was? Either way, it's good to see them get some justice, even if it's just a "this will happen much later" sort of deal.

 

[Baelgun]

Those Dark Elves are way better people than me i would've had every white elf man woman and child on the way massacred or burned alive, if they wanted the land so much they can become part of it.

 

[GreenDude1]

So the white elves straight up used the Nazi execute, bury, repeat strategy. I hope they get obliterated.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:
The horrors of war, the boundless attrocities of mankind and a damn fine sandwich.

I appreciate the snark of the credit pages but proof reading is important and you should pay attention to it. However, maybe it's because the jarring effect of switching to a new scanlation group has past, or maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, but I feel like these last two chapters have been much smoother to read. And I appreciate your work, thank you.

it's a genocide on the dark elves and annihilation of their culture.
the trigger here being that the dark elves have to excavate their relatives, neighbors and friends from mass graves at the site where they were murdered and mutilated.
it would feel eerie and otherworldly, even devastating to the minds of those who had to through such a situation.
basically the mental condition of a holocaust survivor.
of course, if one is tough enough, they will suffer less from such an experience.
but many are not.

 

[Vocalereder]

God even Isekai manga commit war crime

 

[kraize]

WW2 with the mass graves like in this is just grim.

 

[OWMWO]

Very grim on the mass genocide...
But THAT is what a WAR will bring, RIP and TEARS until it is done.
And give that village chief to the BIG DOG, after all a GOOD DOG deserve a TREAT.

It's happened repeatedly and it's happening right now.

Reconciliation is far too kind for these knife ears....

Thanks for the translation.

It’s not just that the Dark Elves were massacred; it’s the way they did it, which is to prevent the Dark Elves from being reborn.
In this world of magic, where elves are born from trees and there are documented reincarnations, this belief in reincarnation may be rooted in how the world actually works.
It wasn’t enough to murder the Dark Elves, but they also desecrated their souls.

 

[Trevoga]

Yeah, who needs quality control when you can just come up with a new way to spell the brigade's name every time it's mentioned.

 

[Gotham2298]

This is likely a reference to the 1940 Katyn massacre: After the Soviet invasion of the Eastern half of Poland (while the Nazis took the Western half) over 20,000 Polish military and police officers, border guards, and intelligentsia were rounded up, executed and buried in mass graves by the NKVD.
It was actually discovered by the Nazi after they broke their Non-Aggression pact with the Soviets, and used it to discredit them after the Allied Powers reluctantly accepted them. The Soviets blamed the Nazis, and continued to deny being responsible until 1990, by which point they and later Russia go "Everyone involved is dead, so no further investigation or cases."
I've already noticed the White Elves uniforms look like the uniforms of the Russia Empire/Soviet Union, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the direction they take.

You can safely cut out the "probably". If you know where to look, you can find video recordings of women and little kids being executed by trained soldieres in an orderly, organised manner, all recorded on smartphone cameras. Really disheartening, even if you grew up on the edgy zones of the web where laughing about gore was commonplace.
Massacres like this are happening in the russian/ukraininan contested zone, all over africa and in the israel/palestinian/libanon conflict zones.
We are just living in a time of sanitized reporting and embeded (read: censored) journalists with a pretty effective control on what ends up in the daily news.

 

[Dreynard]

Regarding the credit page, the great thing about not having English as your main language is that the translation must really suck for you to notice. Here, I ain't noticing anything.
On another note, not sure that's how a soldier that was about to assault a captured civilian should be treated. Not the first time the author is taking the gloves with the heroes (see the incendiary rounds attack a few chapters ago), but I hope it will be treated at some point, like a "good guy" committing a warcrime and getting an appropriate punishment for it.

Around elves, watch yourselves...
