While Charlemagne's people were partying all night long, the people of Alfheim were not idle, and they were also celebrating the end of the war. Being on the winning side, they showed themselves to be far more fanatical than Charlemagne.

Various agricultural associations, labour groups, KdF, the Alfheim Mothers' Union, the Association of Retired Veterans, ...... Various celebrations are spontaneously organized in all walks of life. Speeches, parades, cabaret performances, spontaneous fireworks displays...... The most eye-catching is the torch parade organized by the youth league and the girls' team. The sight of thousands of boys and girls holding torches in high motion to the accompaniment of the high-pitched March of Glory to form the word "Sieg" is so beautiful that it makes onlookers shudder.

This is not a joke or a joke, at least the ambassadors will not think it is a joke.

“...... A giant has fallen, and an even more terrifying dragon has awakened. ”

Lord Wood shook cocktails, long lines of swimming torches and neat shouts of "Empire will win" pierced through the heavy glass and reached the deepest recesses of the heart.

It may seem like a sign of confidence and pride in the eyes of the elves, but in Lord Wood's eyes, neat queues, fanatical populaces, strong central governments, powerful armies, and even more demons are threats, and they are the kind you can't ignore.

– The root of the problem lies in the structural form of Yalfheim.

This is a statement by Secretary of State Walsingham, as sharp as it has been before.

Yalfheim is different from all other countries to this day, in terms of ethnic composition, political structure, and even ideology. For a moment, the nations had no idea how they were going to deal with this newly rising behemoth.

What kind of country is it? It looks at everything around it with suspicion and hostility, and so does its neighbors. Its citizens believe that they are a superior race, that they are chosen by the Mother Goddess, and that eventually the whole world will be brought under their new order, but unlike the Charlemagnes before them, they are very good at hiding this idea, at least when communicating with people from other countries, they hide this consciousness and behave very gentlemanly. But this covert camouflage actually makes them more dangerous, not less. Because you never know what's going on beneath the gentlemanly façade of the elves.

Of course, someone like Lord Wood, who often deals with the elven camp, can still grasp some clues about the thinking patterns of the pointy-eared people. The more he learned, the more the Lord felt that this new power was terrifying.

The deepest part of Alfheim's neurotic perception of world affairs is the traditional, instinctive insecurity of the elves. At first, this sense of insecurity arose from the tragic result of the old Gilmanian kingdom being overthrown by humans and orcs overnight thousands of years ago, and then the tragic result of a long period of exile and almost extinction for thousands of years. The recent war may go some way to assuthing the fears of government officials and the general public about the prospect of losing their country again. However, this new sense of insecurity will not disappear with Charlemagne's demise, and even though Charlemagne is gone, the geostrategic form of Yalfheim surrounded by other countries has not been fundamentally alleviated, but the confidence of ordinary people in the use of force to change this status quo has made them inclined to support or even force the government to take a tough stance to solve problems with other countries.

In fact, in terms of insecurity, they are very similar to the United Principality of Rus'. The rulers of the principalities were well aware that their rule was a rule of relative disorder in form, with a weak and false psychological base that could not be compared with the human camp. As a result, they have always feared infiltration from the outside, and have been afraid of direct contact with the nations of the human camp, and they are worried about the possible consequences of the vast number of races under their rule learning the truth about the outside world, or the foreign peoples learning about the situation inside the principality. As a result, in order to be safe, they only learned how to completely kill their opponents, and never considered making contracts and compromises with their opponents. This is one of the important reasons why the war between the principality and the human camp has lasted for thousands of years.

Alfheim was as insecure and neurotic as the United Rus' Duchy. But they are good at hiding their thoughts, and to some extent they can communicate and interact with other countries. Because they know very well that having a relationship with each other not only gives the opponent a chance to get to know you, but also gives them a chance to get to know the opponent. What's more, as an emerging country, their heritage is limited after all, and swallowing most of Charlemagne's territory is already their current limit. Now Yalfheim's priority is not to continue to expand externally, but to find a secluded place to digest slowly, like a python that swallows its prey. After the completion of the integration of the occupied territories, a large amount of resources will be invested in the army of industrial production, and with the technological superiority, the industrial products of Alfheim will be quickly sold to the world, so as to accumulate a lot of wealth, increase the strength, and prepare for the next war.

This is actually their strategy to eliminate Charlemagne: to temporarily hibernate before the strength is reached, while accumulating strength, slowly infiltrate the target, and when the time comes, use a fierce lightning attack to take down the opponent;

This kind of trick that has already been used once is also thanks to the fact that they can take the trouble to use it again.

"Conversely, only long-lived races can be patient with this strategy that requires long-term continuity. ”

Shaking his glass, Lord Wood's somber face was reflected in the amber liquor.

"But that's not the heart of the matter. At the very least, a long life is not necessarily a good thing, and it is easy to be rigid when you live a long life. As long as our side can be patient, we will eventually be able to win back a city. After all, they have a weakness that they can't get around - quantity. ”

Population is a flaw that the elven camp can't get around, and this weakness will be difficult to overcome for the foreseeable future. It is also because of the existence of this chronic disease that the elven camp did not rush to start a new war, but through a long-term strategic game to follow the plan.

After all, there is a limit to technological advantages. When the difference between the quantity of the two sides is too great, the quantity advantage can completely overwhelm the quality advantage. History has proven this more than once.

This is a well-established conclusion that still holds true today.

But—

There is an ultimate being in the elven camp that can even surpass this truth.

It is precisely because of this existence that Alfheim's unique structure can exert unprecedented energy to eliminate Charlemagne in one fell swoop and completely reverse the order of the entire world.

Siegfried Otto Lilin – Dictator of Alfheim and Acting of the Divine Will.

He is the key to the rise of Alfheim and the core of the entire new order, and his decisions will determine the direction and fate of the world.
