"The Battle of Traitors" or "The Meaningless Battle"—no matter what later generations thought of it, the long battle, which had lasted from autumn to winter in the Year of the Griffin, was destined to leave its mark in history books. As the grand opening of yet another Holy War, this battle's influence would last for dozens, hundreds—even thousands of years.
The Elven Gods' plan had immediately met with a hard wall and the beastmen's southern invasion would have to wait for the next Holy War. Due to a certain ex-lich's plotting and taking advantage of their weakness, I was able to plant visitors from the Underground World in both elven and beastmen territories.
