The elves empire in this world is a binary monarchy composed of the high elves kingdom Asuan and the wood elves kingdom Averen. What is interesting is that the name of the entire elves empire is also Asuan, and even the capital of the empire, Lothen, is also the royal court of the high elves. The phoenix king Ingway not only ruled the high elves, but also ruled the entire empire.

This situation caused a big and small embarrassment, that is, the original equal status between the Phoenix King and the Wood Elf Queen became the phoenix King to rule the Wood Elf Queen. The consequence of this was that the Wood Elf believed that the status between himself and the High Elf should be equal, while the High Elf believed that the Wood Elf was just a lower-class elves ruled by him. There had been many frictions between the two, and even fierce conflicts broke out. In the end, if the elf patron saint Asuyan had not descended the oracle and determined that the high elves' bloodline was more noble, the debate would continue.

But this did not eliminate the contradiction, but instead deepened the crack between the high elves and the wood elves.

Originally, there was only discrimination and friction between the high elves and the wood elves, and they had not yet risen to the point of resistance and resentment. However, when Asuyan's oracle descended, the bloodline of the high elves became more noble and the saying that they should rule everything in the world was rampant. Some extreme high elves even called themselves holy elves, believing that other intelligent races in the world were only worthy of being slaves to the high elves, and even the wood elves were just slightly better servants.

This statement spread widely among the higher elves. Although some of the less radical high elves believed that they should not enslave other intelligent races and wood elves, the name of the sacred elves soon spread throughout Asuan. Except for the official official documents, all the higher elves changed themselves to the sacred elves and despise other intelligent races even more.

The wood elves who were despised by Asuyan felt that the entire race was humiliated, but the huge gap in strength between the high elves and the wood elves made them unable to resist. Even the gods believed in by the wood elves were suppressed by the gods who protected the high elves.

The wood elves who were unable to fight against the high elves could only retreat to their homes in despair. Averen, the wood elves kingdom located in the Great Forest of Arthurion, and with the help of the gods, they rose up endless thorns on the border to build a long wall, completely separating themselves from the high elves, leaving only a few dangerous passes to communicate with each other.

However, with the fall of the wilderness god Tar, this long thorn wall was seriously affected, and many places began to wither and die. The trembling of the earth caused by the fall of the gods even tore the long thorn walls in many places, creating gaps, creating conditions for the higher elves to attack the wood elves.

"So now we have to fight on both sides?" In the palace of Lothen, the phoenix king Ingway, who was sitting on the throne, put down the battle report in his hand and looked at the ministers and generals standing in the audience, his brows couldn't help but frown: "When the dark elves were not completely repelled, we started a war with the wood elves, and even fought with the reinforcements we had asked before. This is really ironic. Is it really necessary?"

The minister who looked like a middle-aged man explained to him in the eyes of the Phoenix King: "Dear Your Majesty, Prince Vera has repelled the attack of the Dark Elves. After the fall of the God of War and Killing, the attack of the Dark Elves is no longer a concern."

"In fact, Prince Vera's latest war report said that the dark elves have been expelled from Asuan's territory and are constantly retreating." A general wearing golden armor also interrupted. It can be seen from his more gorgeous armor and more advanced position than other generals, his status is also higher.

Although the general and the minister seemed to have reached an agreement in advance to promote the war with the wood elves, there were obviously other voices around the King of Phoenix. The court chief who had been standing next to the throne spoke up and said the information he had: "But General Palpatine, the information I received told me that the dark elves were retreating by themselves, and His Highness Prince Vera's army was unable to pursue because of the heavy losses before. Can you explain the problem here?"

"Are you doubting Prince Vera's war report? General Varis?" Palpatine responded dissatisfiedly in the face of the general's inquiry, staring at Varis standing next to the throne with sharp eyes. His left hand holding the sword had even tightened the hilt. Varis did not doubt at all whether the old general could kill him. As one of the strongest people in the empire, Palpatine had this strength.

"No, no, my respected general, I just hope you explain how Prince Vera's army defeated the army of the dark elves." Faced with Palpatine's silent threat, Varis still remained calm, and even a faint smile appeared on his lips: "After all, the battle report we received before stated that Prince Vera's army had been reduced by at least 30% in previous battles, among which the elite White Lion Guard, as the main force, had suffered 40% casualties, and even the palace mages had four people killed in battle. In this case, it is hard for me to imagine how Prince Prince defeated the army of dark elves with more than three times the number of people."

Speaking of this, Varis looked at Palpatine very seriously with a puzzled expression, as if he was really confused.

"That's because the God of War and Killing was killed by His Majesty Asuyan. After the dark elves lost the protection of the divine grace, they became vulnerable!" Palpatine's tone became passionate, and there was a trace of disdain in her eyes when she looked at Varis. She seemed to be despising him even if she could not even imagine such a simple thing. In order to cooperate with her, Palpatine took a step forward and pressed towards the palace general with the power of his legendary power.

"Enough!" The Phoenix King slapped heavily on the armrest of the throne. The loud noises rang throughout the throne room, causing the ministers and generals to bow down: "I asked you to discuss the attack on Ansar, not to argue whether Vera was lying! Valoren, tell me why the Imperial Senate wanted our army to attack the wood elves?"

Although the Phoenix King ruled the entire Elf Empire, and even the name of the empire was Asuan, there was still an institution called the Senate within the empire, which restricted the rights of the Phoenix King. This time, the order to allow the army of the High Elves to attack the Wood Elf Kingdom was issued by the Senate, and Valoren was the Speaker of the Senate.

"Because after the fall of the God of Wilderness and the God of Hunting, the position that descended to the mortal world is in the kingdom of these inferior elves according to the calculations of the court mages." Facing the question of the King of Phoenix, Valoren did not dare to neglect as the speaker and explained to Ingway: "The Empire Senate has always been committed to consolidating the rule of the sacred elves over the empire, but this group of inferior elves who do not comply with the rule of the sacred elves is undoubtedly a hidden danger to the stability of the empire. Ansar even has an army that can confront the empire, which is intolerable!"

As a radical, Valoren's greatest ideal is to include all the intelligent races in the world into the rule of the empire. The existence of the Wood Elf Kingdom is undoubtedly a huge obstacle to his ideals. This is the fundamental reason why Valoren promoted the proposal to use troops against the Wood Elf in the Senate. The fallen god descended to Ansar, undoubtedly gave him a perfect excuse.

"Your Majesty, the Senate has been working hard to bring Anshar under the rule of the Phoenix Court. However, relying on the protection of the gods, those inferior elves not only rejected the gifts of the royal court, but also built a long wall of thorns on the border, intending to split the empire. If we can take this opportunity to destroy Anshar, or let the two gods who protect these inferior elves change their minds, or even replace them, this will greatly strengthen the empire's rule over the entire world! And the two gods who were knocked down from the throne, Your Majesty, don't you want to have a glimpse of the power of the gods and become the truly supreme ruler of the world?" Valoren's voice was full of temptation, as if it was arousing the desire of the King of Phoenix.

But Valoren did not tell Ingway that in his plan, the King of Phoenix would certainly become the supreme ruler, but the Imperial Senate was the real existence that ruled the entire empire, and he, Valoren, would become the greatest speaker of the Imperial Senate and truly control the existence of the Imperial Senate.

"You are crazy? You actually intend to stab the gods! Aren't you afraid that the gods will be punished?" Ingway's voice was full of panic, but in the panic, it seemed to be covering the desire that he had not even noticed. The phoenix king's eyes looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else in the throne room at this moment, and the ministers and generals in front of him were his confidants, which made him feel a little relieved, but the confidants he trusted may not be worthy of his trust.

"Your Majesty, I need to remind you that strictly speaking, even the supreme god Asuyan has been knocked down from his throne at this moment. From the moment they descended to the mortal world, they are no longer true gods. Although they still have powerful power, this is not an unbearable problem in the face of the power of the entire empire." Valoren showed strong confidence on his face, while other ministers and generals stood behind him, looking at the throne with the same gaze at the King of Phoenix, who was at a loss by their eyes, as if they were waiting for his decision.

Ingway turned his eyes to Palpatine who was silent, hoping to hear his opinion. But facing the silent inquiry of the King of Phoenix, Palpatine just looked at him silently and did not speak, but his attitude undoubtedly explained everything.

"Okay, it seems that you have already thought about it. Since you want to fight, I will fight you!" Ingway shook his head helplessly, stood up from the throne, walked to the table beside him, pulled out a pen made of phoenix feathers and wrote his commands on an open scroll. Every word he wrote will determine the life and death of countless people, and even the direction of this world.

Under the gaze of Valoren, Palpatine and other generals, the Phoenix King finished his orders, and the court chief dripped a spoonful of melted varnish on the scroll, took off the seal ring on his finger, and Ingway pressed it on the varnish: "Don't let me down, if you fail..."
