Man that first monster he trapped looked an awful lot like a human with a fur cape for a second. :wtf: Love that in this series, building a nation qualifies as just a side quest. :dogkek:
I bet future historian will read his travel stories and say it's all tall tales and exaggerations or say "Ermm actually it was multiple elves that wrote under the same pen name" like some people say today that Sun Tzu/Shakespears are multiple people using the same "pen name" or something.

Elves are all archers right? What kind of formation could Aesir teach them? Isn't their current hit and run tactic the best without any screening infantry?
Don't forget, Aesir is a blacksmith and sword master. 10 years he can easily pass on blacksmithing to help gear up front liners who can fight with a sword. The governing part though is where I'm interested in seeing how it goes, since he's never really ruled over a place or people.

Seeing how they're victims of genocide the baby might be an orphan those two ladies decided to adopt for all we know.
In the penultimate page, was that a lesbian couple? And was that their baby or an adoption?

I thought only high elves were formed out of spirits; normal elves brew up babies the expected way.

And who's to say they are a couple to begin with. They could just be fellow villagers, close friends or even relatives, mother/daughter seeing as how they are elves and wouldn't look that far in age from each other once they were adults. Just because someone is beside you while holding a child, doesn't automatically equate to some form of familial or sexual relationship. In fact, they can be total strangers in the same village, and still have reacted in the way they were depicted because of Aesirs statements.

How the thought that they were even a lesbian couple in the first place happens before any others, I don't even understand.:thonk:

The basics of basics: discipline and organization. They're good with guerilla tactics, but those 30 odd thousand elves are more like multiple militia group that move on their own. They need to have a concrete chain of command, which he will do in the decade hes staying there.

If he doesn't want to make a purely elven country, a half-elf like his son Wynn would probably be the best choice for a king. Wynn should be fighting somewhere in the west anyway. But it doesn't necessarily need to be a monarchy, they just need some form of functional central government.

I understand why he doesn't want to become king, but considering how many years he whiled away in random villages, it is a bit surprising how much qualms he had about putting aside only ten years for nation building.

Aesir finding himself in an incredibly difficult situation. He has a duty to help these elves who are suffering as a fellow elf, but he doesn’t want to lord over them despite the other elves putting themselves lower than him. I hope he manages to find a proper balance between all his goals and desires.

Maybe she just got tired of having a child and she was like: "oh you're gonna take care of us? Take the little shit then" :pepela:

So, the successor he needs to rule over this elf kingdom needs to be an elf that can understand other races, get along with humanity, is knowledgeable in warfare and governance, and be a proven leader.
That's just Wynn, isn't it?
"I heard there's a high elf that's currently helping Inelda"

"is he also a master blacksmith and master swordsman?"

"As a matter of fact..."

"Goddamn it dad"

Unless you build-a-bear then likely yes. To do all of that is going to require some cheat level talent or hella happenstance. Worse case scenario you have to choose multiple people and form a governing body which collectively possess all those skills, which is entirely possible. Then the chapter ends with I accidentally unintentionally made a democracy and now humans have a say as well as all live in peace, yay.

ten years is ALOT of time for a human to learn to fight and doing peacetalk.
so it will be interessing to see how he will teach them. i assume it is the tough love style teaching he will use?

You're right, it's not that deep. Hence....

God I feel even older, and demoralized after reading these comments....

A lesbian elf couple? Holy shit on a stick Batman... what a horrible take. Elves, the race know for being androgynous and universally beautiful.... for fucks sake, the current world view has really tainted the younger generations. Erofu and big tittied elves should only exist in erotica and badly written isekai novels... that's not to say that there couldn't be non-standard couples in a fictional fantasy setting. But to just assume it as such because two women are depicted in the same seen scene with one holding a baby is just stupid...

As for the whole Israel and Palestinian comparisons, please don't. I can almost guarantee whatever it is you think you know is just flat wrong, propaganda, or worse misinformation spread via AI slop generators designed to output outrage and attention grabing clicks...

I mean, Wynn is a half-elf. He's long-lived, compared to a human, but his lifespan is still shorter than an elf's, let alone a high elf's.
At least, I think that's right.
Wynn might not have as much time as Aesir thinks; not just in because of a shorter lifespan, but also because he's fighting in a war, and there's no way to know if he's safe.

Feeling is mutual here.

I could not be bother with those guys. They will even claim that we are weebs or racist as an insult term if we don't take their side at the end of the discussion.

Like who made them became holier than thou in matter of anime/manga space?
