At about the same time as the rescue mission commencing, the situation near the border between humans and elves heated up as Zodiac City's flagship Taurus raided half a dozen elven outposts in rapid succession.
Being one of the fastest battleships in the known universe, the Taurus took advantage of that greatly and used guerilla tactics to take on the elves. With its superior mobility it was able to swiftly attack the elves' strategic locations by catching their defenses off guard, while also avoiding any possibility of a confrontation with their warships.
The Taurus wreaked chaos and havoc in all the places it visited.
This situation was possible not only due to the ship's mobility or firepower, but also due to the fact that Alduin Talon, a powerful supreme magus, was on board. Together with five human grand magus hailing from Zodiac City and the Magus Academy, the group delivered wrath and payback for what the elves had done to the academy.
