1204: Chapter 198, Integrity Shattered (Still in Debt)_3 1204: Chapter 198, Integrity Shattered (Still in Debt)_3 The Forest Elf Queen spoke wordlessly.

As a border nation of the Human Race, military preparedness has always been of utmost importance; some things can be feigned, but the numbers of the Standing Army can absolutely not be falsified.

“Big sister, the Human Race is the most cunning and deceitful.

They wouldn’t be playing word games with us, would they?

They speak of arms reduction, but behind the scenes they might expand their military.

That’s something they would do!”

The Prairie Elf Queen said with disdain.

According to the experience of the Elf Race in dealing with Humans, all promises and contracts are time-limited.

One year they may play at arms reduction, and in a few years after a power shift, they might play at military expansion.

It’s nothing new.

Because of the lifespan differences between the two species, to the elves, all Humans are unreliable.

No matter how good the promises in front, or how detailed the clauses of the contracts, they always find a way to circumvent them.

“Verbal promises naturally can’t be counted on, but we can set it in stone with a treaty.

The King of Moxi Duchy, George, is still very young; a shift in power should not happen in the near future, so a treaty could bind them for decades.

In the meantime, we should keep a closer watch on them.

With the constraints of a treaty, if they dare to overstep, we have the legitimacy to take action, and the Human Alliance can’t say much.

Just like this time, if it weren’t for the stipulations of the previous treaty, the Moxi People certainly wouldn’t be as compliant as they are now!”

The Forest Elf Queen sneered.

Trust, that is non-existent.

If one dared to trust the Human Race, the Elf Race would have long ceased to exist.

Throughout the past, too many species have suffered in this regard.

Those lucky enough might linger on, while the unlucky ones have been wiped from the face of the Continent of Aslante.

In fact, deception and intrigue in the struggle between species has always been commonplace.

Everyone holds grudges against the Human Race because they are now the dominators of the continent and have naturally accrued the most hatred.

“Big sister, the expansion of the Human Race’s power is too rapid; our strategy can only alleviate the immediate crisis.

Especially the situation in the South Continent, it’s now completely out of control.

If this continues, after a few more continental wars, we might have no place on the Continent of Aslante.

For the security of our species, we must accelerate our land division plan!

Time waits for no one; if we miss this chance, the next one will take tens of thousands of years.

Given the current situation on the continent, whether we can last until the next ten thousand years is unknown.

Even if we were to survive, by then we would probably be powerless to continue…”

The Night Elf Queen gnashed her teeth as she spoke.

Had it not been for the Human Race’s aggressive momentum, would they have rushed to prepare for contingencies?

Remember, a thousand years ago, the Elf Race could still pull down the Human Race from their position as continental leaders with a determined effort.

To this date, they can only inflict heavy losses on the Human Race.

It’s not that they have weakened, but the enemy has become stronger.

What’s more lamentable is the lack of effort by allies; they talk a big game, but every time they go to war with the Human Race, they perform poorly.

Because of coordination issues, the once dominant Alien Coalition is becoming increasingly unsustainable.

“There’s no need to rush; let the Human Race be complacent for a few days.

Soon enough, they’ll be in trouble.

It’s not easy to be a continental overlord!

Having occupied the most fertile land on the continent, they will naturally bear the greatest backlash.

Almost facing a significant calamity, the Human countries continue to fight internally, completely oblivious to the looming danger.

If this operation goes as planned, it might be possible to resolve the crisis of the Elf’s Mother Tree.

As long as fertility increases, we have no fear of the Human Race!”

The Forest Elf Queen sneered coldly.

Being able to survive from the Ancient Era as a storied continental overlord assures at least superior information compared to other species.

Many historical secrets buried in the river of history are not secrets at all to the Elves, a Longevity race.

The outside world thinks the low fertility of the Elf Race is a congenital issue, but in reality, that’s misinformation deliberately spread by them.

If fertility had always been so poor, how could the Elves have dominated the continent in the Ancient Era?

What really caused the decline of the Elf Race was the Mother Tree suffering unexpected grave damage during an adversity that occurs once in ten thousand years.

Without the blessings of the Mother Tree, relying solely on natural reproduction, the fertility of the Elf Race has been on the decline.

Out of necessity, they had to voluntarily relinquish their position as dominators of the continent and retreat to recuperate in a small corner.

Once the population issue is resolved, with the Elves’ innate gifts, it would only take a few more centuries before they could again stand tall atop the continent.
