"Have you heard? The elves have occupied the southern fortress city."
In a tavern in the royal city, the atmosphere was not as lively as it used to be. Instead, it was rather depressing. A few well-dressed noblemen were sharing a bottle of angel wine as they discussed the news regarding the southern fortress city.
The southern part of the Holy Dragon Kingdom had an endless primeval forest. That forest bordered the Forest of Eternity, where the Elven kingdom was located. There were countless magical beasts there, and amongst them were magical beasts that were as powerful as platinum-tier elites. It was not an easy task to cross the Forest of Eternity, let alone to attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom after crossing the forest.
