Chapter 1103: Chapter 152: Love and Hatred Between Beastmen (Demihumans) and Elves (6200)_2

“Even now, half of the Royal Court Iron Cavalry’s elite guard, the Blood Cavalry Guard, are elves—back in the day, it was the elven generals who pooled resources to help Chasing-Star Khan reorganize an elite guard after the Qie Xue Army disbanded.”

——Oh, these Elven World Marquis and Elven Martial Guards. Will it become ‘Certainly, the Azure Sky Royal Court is co-ruled by the Elven World Marquis and the Khans, what do demihumans have to do with it?’, followed by selling hordes of demihumans as slaves to the elves?

Upon hearing this, Ian was filled with a sense of deja vu and cynicism. The Azure Sky Royal Court originally seemed to him like a mere gathering spot for demihumans, but now it has completely transformed into a chaotic domain filled with all sorts of monsters… Tree Shepherd Tribe, can tree people really herd? And fae riding moths to herd sheep, my heavens, these little creatures are indeed everywhere!

And let’s not even mention the Elven World Marquis. Originally, he thought the two countries had merely ordinary territorial skirmishes, only to find that the friction indeed existed, but was surprisingly deep-rooted into each other’s bones!

Although the histories of Terra and Earth are different, as long as there is intelligent life, there are some commonalities—calling in foreign barbarian reinforcements to beat one’s own national forces until they cry out; it’s a classic scene that appears in nearly every version, an essential historical delicacy.

“And then, and then?” The boy asked with great interest: “I think I understand the origins of the relationship between the Azure Sky Royal Court and Canaan Moore… but this has nothing to do with Canaan Moore’s political system, does it?”

“It has a direct connection.”

Master Glarvie waved his hand: “Because next, it was the Five Elf Tribes who invited the Khan’s celestial soldiers to march south to the World Tree City, forcing the Elf King to abdicate.”

Ian: “?”

This actually isn’t particularly strange.

After the wars between the khans ended and Chasing-Star Khan ascended as the Azure Khan, the elven tribes of Canaan Moore quieted down for a while. After all, they’d been battling for many years with eastward and westward expeditions. Even if the people didn’t want a break, at least the population needed to rest. Elves aren’t like leeks, they grow back slowly after being harvested.

But decades later, nurtured by enormous wealth and resources, the elven tribes, led by the Ten Great Royal Blood Tribes, launched another civil war.

This time, due to differences in distribution and having abundant resources, there was a noticeable gap in strength among the Blood of the Ten Kings.

The Fertile Soil Tribe achieved overwhelming superiority and formed an alliance with Ashlight, Silver Gate, Vine Corridor, and Green Leaf, creating the embryo of the Canaan Moore nation. They repelled Vine Branch, Bone Root, Blood Column, Active Core, and National Domain, claiming the World Tree City that was co-governed by the Blood of the Ten Kings, where Minal Votu was crowned as the first Elf King.

In a sense, this is identical to the track on which the Great Khan of the Azure Sky was born… the only difference being, when the Great Khan was born, Canaan Moore wasn’t unified, whereas when the Elf King was born, the Azure Sky Royal Court was already unified.

The five tribes expelled from the World Tree City paid a hefty price to convince the Elven World Marquis in the Royal Court to sway the Great Khan of that time. An elite Royal Court guard, guided by the Pillar Five Tribes’ united forces, routed the Elf King’s army, forcing him to abdicate after a mere 103 days of ruling.

Of course, the Sustenance Five Tribes did not let their opponents off easily; the Pillar Five Tribes were also crippled, and in the end, all could only negotiate peace at World Tree City, discussing elven national affairs.

Since then, the elves have never had another chance to unify; the twisted competition among the Ten Great Royal Blood Tribes continues to this day, shifting from the bloody battles identified by names in the past to a political struggle and assassination between the Sustenance Party formed by Fertile Soil, Ashlight, Silver Gate, Vine Corridor, Green Leaf, and the Pillar Party formed by Vine Branch, Bone Root, Blood Column, Active Core, National Domain.

It was from then that the intricate animosity between Canaan Moore and the Azure Sky Royal Court was established.

——Although it was a demihuman Khan, the Canaan Moore Blood Army rampaged and slaughtered mercilessly across the great plains, turning the verdant grasslands crimson; what treachery to the Royal Court! Cursed elf chumps are also a bunch of butchers!

——Huh? Do these self-slaughtering elven executioners dare to hate us? If it weren’t for us helping them repel their blood-stained Elf King, these elves would have wiped themselves out ages ago!

——Although they were Canaan Moore’s elves, they invited the Khan’s reinforcements to force out our elven King, pure elven treachery! Cursed Royal Court people are no good either!

——What? Do those demihuman mongrels dare to criticize us? If it weren’t for our Elven Righteous Army aiding Chasing-Star Khan to fend off rebellious factions, your Royal Court might still be divided into dozens of pieces today!

Both sides see the other as hateful, yet each considers themselves a historical benefactor to the other. Several wars erupted subsequently, including one instance where a Great Khan of the Azure Sky completely unified the three great plains, marched south to invade Canaan Moore, intending to turn Sudden Rain Wetlands into his own backyard, only to be massacred by the elves until heads rolled and blood rains fell from the sky.

Of course, with the Royal Court’s scandals, there was also Canaan Moore Federation, during its founding, when to stabilize the national foundation, a fatigued Royal Court was attacked, leading to farcical defeats where elven marquises led demihuman cavalry, forcing them to retreat to Hanging Valley Fortress…
