Looking at the map. Elfind is ripe for the picking.

70,000 was the number of Dark Elves that were on the border before they were killed by the white elves. There are only around 12,000 left. The Orc army thought they would have to fight through the Dark Elf buffer in case war broke out.

I think he is mirroring the Nazi Germany move into Czechoslovakia prior to a full war in Europe, what White elves invaded was more of a DMZ zone and getting rid of the buffer state. Turkey just used this excuse to invade part of Siria a few years ago. This would be a predecessor to going into the Orc territories with the goal of attaining resources. As an isolationist nation Elfind probably has no idea what the Orc territory is actually like and thinks they will be able to just walk in and kill 'the inhuman enemy'. This would be similar to initial attacks by Japan into Asia to spread its influence sphere and build resources for a larger conflict.

It is kind of refreshing to see Orc's not be the bad guys for once.

Nah, it got eaten by Bavaria.

My favorite alt-history country, Bavaria.

Well well well... In the previous chapter, I was wondering what kind of enemy a flourishing nation like Orcsen - despite having achieved peace, industrial revolution and different races close unification - could possibly fear, to feel compelled to maintain such an advanced and powerful army?
Now I know.

Hope this manga will carry on, cause I'm a big sucker for Bismarck-era military tactics transposed in heroic-fantasy civilizations. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Like I thought, the Orcs are German. However the Elves are Danish? I guess that this is something like how the first Schleswig war was a victory for the Danish (elves) while this is the second Schleswig war which was a victory for the Germans (orcs)

What the shit is this ww2 analogy, wehraboo, west fellating, reddit character subversion, tonal 180, nothing interesting going on, wall of exposition, crybaby garbage?
Dropping this straight into the trash

The exposition was a little hard to follow. Or was it just me?

 

[mindlessBiped]

Considering Kingship is granted by magic power I wonder if the Dark Elf MC is going to succeed/become heir. Elfs dont seem to have anything unique in this (since every other demon is also immportal) so it would be nice if they were even somewhat special magical wise

 

[Dust]

it's not like i dislike the worldbuilding and all that, but i really enjoy the slow burn romance-not-romance here and hoping that there's more

 

[FeudalGrass]

Elfind is way smaller than I expected lol, the premise made it sound like they are a rival power to Orcsen.

Humans seem to be France and UK in this world.

I hope they make it unique, taking fantasy races with different biology into account, not just be a copy of the 19th-20th century.

Let's see if Orcsen Will unified with Askania and decided to pick a fight against Gloire.

It wasn't just you. I think the translation is kinda messy, but it's improved since chapter 1 so hopefully that continues. It becomes a bit clearer with the map at the end and the fact that the -70,000 they were referring to was the number of dark elves before they were attacked.

some correction
Deutone War was 60 years ago not 6

True. Sometimes thing can be "lost in translation". Trying to translate and figure out how to correctly word things with the correct context without losing the initial meaning can be hard I imagine. Especially on some these more wordy chapters and scenes.

Either you're trolling or you're a new kind of stupidity to type this comment.
