"Yes, there is a war between Dragons and Humans," Belinda confirmed, her expression serious.
'HUMANS,' Renan thought, his mind racing.
'So that's why Mother didn't allow me to leave the castle, but Are humans this strong that dragon needed to be on guard in their own kingdom?'
"Grandma are they strong," Renan inquired.
"Indeed, they are strong, but compared to dragons, they are still weak," Belinda said.
"So does it mean we are winning the war, Grandma, against them?"
"No, right now, the war has been on hold since the second Great War," Belinda replied.
'What! There have been two wars before this, and humans still have not lost; forget about losing the way she's saying things to me. It seems like the third war would also be soon,' he thought.
"Grandma how did the war start," Renan asked.
"The war started about four thousand years ago when the progenitor of every race disappeared out of nowhere leaving their race and subordinate flabbergasted, and the subordinate of these races made a search team that did their best to find their corresponding progenitor and that research continues for about five hundred years before they give up finding them and the dragon's who were arrogant from the birth and were kept discipline by the dragon progenitor were free and after that many dragons who were finally free to do anything did many things and one of them was that they made human their slave,"
"And some humans who were made slaves didn't like that and made a group of many people who didn't like that and wage war against the dragon who at that time have hundreds of Elder dragons and thousands of Adults dragon and humans who at that time only know one way of using mana and that was to strengthen themselves with mana, lose the war pathetically and were gone into hiding and dragons who think of the human as ant didn't go after them and just like that three thousand years went by and human come back way stronger than before starting the second war," Belinda explained.
"Hmm, Grandma how did they become that strong,"
"It was because of the elf,"
"Elf," Renan repeated.
"Yes, Elf who at that time felt sympathy for humans helped them and taught them magic and ways to use mana, making them way stronger than before,"
"Did they become stronger than dragon Grandma," asked Renan.
"No, they didn't, they were still weaker than dragons," replied Belinda.
"Then how didn't they lose till now,"
"Renan as the dragon is given amazing strength and things they are also given some setbacks to balance these out after all the world is fair,"
'Indeed, the dragons would have truly been broken being if they were not given some setback, I guess,' he thought inwardly.
Belinda continues, "and those weaknesses were exploited by humans in the second war, first weakness of dragons was that newborn dragons are weak and they need time to grow, and those newborns were targeted by humans in the second war, second weakness is dragons lifespan is only three thousand years and after that, their life depends upon their mana they will live as long as they have mana and die if they run out of it and humans who couldn't killed the elder dragon did their best to tired them out so they could die themselves,"
"The third weakness is a dragon mother can only have a child one time, and after that, no matter what they did, they can't have more children. It's the same for the male dragons,
The fourth and final weakness is the dragon birth rate. It usually takes a dragon couple to have a child between four to six hundred, and if they have bad luck, it will take them one thousand years, meanwhile, millions of humans would be born, having an overwhelming amount of differences between armies and human who use this differences to group against one dragon and killing them before going after other,"
"That's also how your Great-grandpa died but before dying he self destruct bringing significant amounts of enemies soldiers and a commander, giving them no other options but to retreat, and that's how the second war ended,"
