Ring Tower City.

"What did you say?"

Kana, who was sitting in the office handling affairs, was stunned upon hearing the news from Alyris next to him.

"The Elf Race has completely split? They've even entered a military standoff?"

Kana instinctively dug at his ear, briefly suspecting he had heard wrong.

How could it be possible? Elves usually drag on other matters for years, considering it rapid if they finish something within several years. Why are they so eager when it comes to war?

And it's civil war at that, shouldn't they delay it as much as possible and negotiate if they can?

Just two years ago they split because of intensified conflicts, and now, just two years later, they are facing each other with weapons?

Isn't it just the Dark Moon Elves who were the most conflicted that split off?

The other elf groups were merely discontent, using their withdrawal from the World Ring Council as a show of intimidation.

Before Kana could sort out his thoughts, the door was suddenly pushed open.

He didn't even need to turn his head to know who had arrived.

Sure enough, Maxim walked briskly in with a face full of anxiety and confusion, sitting directly across the desk.

"Why would this happen? It shouldn't be like this!"

Kana tried his best to regain composure, raising a hand to signal Maxim to hold off speaking.

"Don't rush. I received the news no earlier than you did." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

After all, the news was transmitted via channel, and they received the information around the same time.

Maxim swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth, but the anxiety and confusion on his face remained unabated, clearly visible on his expression.

Kana opened his channel to check the information published via the relevant channel.

Seriously, folks, nearly a thousand elves died in this civil war?

Is this insanity?

Just for a mining vein? Weren't you just having conflicts and hadn't officially entered a military confrontation stage yet?

Now it's blown up.

Moreover, this will inevitably act like a heavy bomb, triggering a huge uproar throughout the entire elf society.

Don't underestimate the loss of nearly a thousand elves.

Elves live long lives but face reproductive difficulties, making each newborn infinitely precious.

Even after blood calamities occurred, resulting in several blood elves, there were rarely any abandoned by their own group, only examples of being kidnapped by pirates.

This indicates the level of importance elves place on each newborn elf.

Although elves have gradually fallen behind in wars against external parties, nearly losing their former dominion as a deterrent force, elves rarely lose over a thousand in major battles.

According to records, the greatest defeat encountered by the Elf Race over thousands of years happened in a war a thousand years ago.

In that decisive battle, the Elf Race lost a total of three thousand people, which is the historical record.

In most small-scale battles, casualties typically only see dozens or even just a few elves.

The Elf Race has not suffered such a heavy loss for nearly a millennium.

When Kana saw that the war had involved annihilation with no prisoners, he knew deep down that things were bad.

Even Kana, at this moment, felt both disgusted and perplexed.

The escalation leading to nearly a thousand elves dead might have been barely understandable, but the massacre with no prisoners makes the situation entirely different, with unimaginable consequences.

"This conflict is highly severe!"

Seemingly sensing that Kana had finished reading the related information, Maxim couldn't help but speak excitedly.

Kana nodded; the seriousness of the problem is self-evident.

"But the question is, what can be done now? Do you think Dark Moon Elves will listen to Radiant Elves' explanations?

They are the branch most dissatisfied with Radiant Elves' dominance, and now the Radiant Elves have committed such acts of slaughter.

Impossible, even knowing there might be hidden truths, the Dark Moon Elves' Double Moon Leader could never forgive this deep-seated hatred."

From a political standpoint, Kana could roughly guess who might be behind this.

This kind of impulsive and brutal massacre likely points to the Blood God as the mastermind.

"Alas, the barrier is growing weaker." Kana sighed helplessly.

The Elf Race has not gone entirely through a period of rampant Evil God activity, and it's only been a few years since the Evil God unrest was even slightly subdued, just slightly eased.

At this critical junction, the Evil God seized the opportunity to instigate this great disaster.

After all, it was elves being too arrogant and ignoring some potential crises. Losses that are insignificant to humans are enough to ignite all the elves' anger.

"What now? The Elf Race has completely split into three factions."

Maxim said worriedly, "One side is the Radiant Elves, another side is the rebellious Dark Moon Elves, and the third side is the bystanders."

Of course, this third side consists only of the Starlight Elves race. As the scholarly race among elves, the Starlight Elves have always refrained from participating in political and military affairs.

"Is there any way to avoid this war? It's apparent the Evil God is behind all this. If a full-scale internal war breaks out over this, the consequences are unimaginable."

Facing Maxim's inquiry, Kana sighed helplessly, shaking his head.

"I am but a Prophet, not omniscient."

Hearing this, Maxim leaned back against his chair, looking perplexed. He naturally understood this logic but couldn't come up with a countermeasure.

At this moment, Alyris spoke again.

"New intelligence has arrived; the Beitel Kingdom has declared war on the Wanshan Duchy.

The Telsar Alliance has invaded Buttehar City Harbor, and the Thorn Kingdom has attacked the Emerald Wood Elf Colony."

Well, now those countries that had maintained peace have also caught up in war.

"Great, it's leading to World War, isn't it?"

Maxim said with a bitter smile.

This is the influence of elves. Although they have gradually lost the status of world dominion, their influence remains significant.

Despite elves being naturally arrogant, possessing the unique time conception of longevity species, one must admit that the elf races maintain countless connections with the upper echelons of many countries.

Their influence is still spreading worldwide.

Once internal war within the elves breaks out, those royals and nobles closely tied with them are bound to take action.

Those countries that have long wanted to break free from elf control, and the ambitious forces eager to replace elf influence, certainly won't miss this opportunity.

"Especially at this time." Alyris murmured.

"This isn't a coincidence; it's the Evil God obstructing our efforts," Kana said.

This is too easy to guess; if there were no Evil God involvement here, Kana would be the first to disbelieve.

The Lebia Continent is now occupied by the Ratman horde and alliance forces. In recent years, Night Watchers have developed marine warship technology significantly, making the sea around the Lebia Continent almost within their control scope.

With the promotion and preparation for full-scale war, Night Watchers have practically cleared the Ratman horde's sea forces these days, and all Ratman cities near the ports have suffered comprehensive bombardment.

Unless the Evil God directly descends to exert mighty power, they are virtually powerless to support the Ratman.

Furthermore, they themselves don't wish to act easily, given that in the last war, they were soundly defeated.

Night Watchers used the Void Rift to counter-invade the Evil God's Domain.

Although Night Watchers paid a huge price to seal the rift in the end, for Evil God, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Naturally, they are unwilling to personally interfere, but this doesn't mean they will stand by idly.

While Night Watchers' attention was drawn to the Lebia Continent, Evil God began invasions in other regions, striving to incite greater chaos.

With the world's barrier growing weaker, the high-minded elf races are inevitably affected.

The "Blood and Sword" version, long suppressed by Night Watchers, has finally reached its climax.

A world war has thus commenced.
