The elves are now... TOASTED.
And they are just about to have dinner... to think they die hungry.

is this MTL or being done with AI or something because it's pretty consistently getting pronouns wrong like calling elves he/him when we know they're all women.

It takes a man to be bez woman.

Things are getting messy! but well that's war for you, still waiting for the other shoe to fall and if the elves have something up their sleeve, like some magic nuke or something

so what is the overall goal here? take the elves' territory and have them become citizens?
because the germans/orcs here don't seem to be the type for a genocide.
they even have a nation of multiple species.

they are evading civilian casualties as best they can so they are probably gonna take them as citizens

Battle of Moria

Song of Durin starts playing

 

[Hootanic]

The Dark Elves also make sense as the vanguard because they're from the region and know the territory. In wars of this nature in Europe and elsewhere, having units made of disaffected minorities from the country being invaded was always a successful tactic.

Damn knife ears are finally getting what's coming to them.

Thanks for the translation.

 

[Baelgun]

This is going too easy, this has to be a trap or some weird magic shit somewhere.

 

[Seether00]

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. They are not in the core yet. They are simply at the out areas that used to belong to races the elves expelled.

Honestly just feels like general incompetence of their government. Most of the elven military probably doesn't even realize they're at war. And it also doesn't seem like they've compensated for the effects of the dark elf genocide. The dark elves that would've noticed the orcs advance and alerted the rest of the country aren't there anymore. Any garrisons left are ones that were meant to put down rebellious dark elves rather than actually put up a fight against anything approaching a peer.

TL;DR sucks to suck

The missing 11,000 troops and the ships from previous chapter keep bugging me. It smells to me like a counter-offensive elsewhere.

Since this story heavily references the German wars of unification, with Elfind being Denmark, then what's most likely going to happen is the same as in 1864. Orcsen will steamroll Elfind because of superior numbers and technology.

The question I'm having is how and if they're doing the other two wars, the German War and the Franco-Prussian war as well. A side story with the rise of Japan was also hinted last chapter.

 

[CrimsonWarden]

It still feels weird that I'm rooting for actually civilized Orcs over Uber racist Elves.

I just pity the shrapnel casualties since that's a gruesome way to die.

 

[Minipels]

This being too easy leads me to think that a) the capital will be full of elites and most orcsen soldiers die there b)Historians will call orcsen barbaric for such a massacre, provided point A doesn't happen c)Dark elves get their revenge and as a reward for their accomplishment in the war their instated as governors of the conquered land.
Either that or I am too delusional

 

[nomadicengi]

So they are going to be utterly roasted for booting the dark elves out of their country.

Even weirder that they didn't bother to reinforce the area in the possibility that the dark elves survivors were to somehow retaliate against their actions. They know the orcs assisted the dark elves so they should have prepared something.

Maybe they are so high up in the clouds that they didn't bother thinking of what could had happened if they messed up in their purge and it's now going to cost them.

It should be C.

A : The orcs are calling the elves gunner idiot for going WITNESSSS MEEEEE and get shots, plus orcs have multi races and AIR SUPERIORITY for infiltration and surveillance, and the deciding factor, a PROPER WAR SUPPLIES and TACTICS. It will be very stupid if the orc lost cuz the elves has equivalent of nuke and is not using it till the last city stand.
B : The historians will be too scared to write anything not in the favor of the war victor, they will die once the orcs labelled them as traitor and hunt them, the way those who hunt elves, and purging everything that sounds bad, making them to be non existant to start with. After all, government RULEZ.

Winner mentality, they think they invincible until they realize NO ZEY DON't.
Don't think they ever consider the dark elves to be accepted among the orc army, and the previous chapters have showed how the elves practically are governed by bunch of airheaded pompous politicians who only talks about beauty and image, nothing but deadweight, and civilians/soldiers are the 1 paying the toll with their lives.

 

[zelsphere]

The orcs army seems way too overpowered, I hope sometime more interesting is going to happen and give the elves a fighting chance.
