Perhaps nobody expected that the fairies would be the most sensitive about the Holy War, even though they didn't seem to have anything to do with it.
Perhaps it was precisely because the fairies had nothing to do with the benefits of the Holy War that they would automatically become losers as soon as the Holy War began. That was why they were able to see the situation clearly from a bystander's point of view and were the first to issue warnings.
But when the urgent journal appeared in the various countries at a price far lower than the cost of production, and when the intelligence organizations of the various countries were unable to collect information became cheap entertainment, some things were suddenly revealed to the world.
In that journal, the fairies' unparalleled intelligence gathering, verification, and deduction abilities were all on full display. Not only did they mention that the mortal plane was currently facing an unprecedented threat, they even categorized the major problems they were currently facing. This made the scattered intelligence reports from all over the mortal plane truly effective. The most important ones were the three main types of threats.
The first major threat was the return of the immemorial species.
Actually, such problems would occur in every Holy War. From a certain standpoint, the Holy War would affect the rise and fall of every species. The ruling species of the past would always be the final victors of the "officially permitted" Holy War. Humans had only ever been the ruling species of the past few Holy Wars, so the losers would naturally be unwilling to leave the stage of history.
The first threat would be the elven kingdoms. They were the ruling species of the previous generation, but they lost their ruling status in the Holy War that they won. After a long period of recuperation, the elves didn't dare to be lonely, and desired to return to the stage of history.
With the protection of the Elf Gods, along with so many years of accumulation and the natural talents of the elves, along with the vassal species, the elves would be a force to be reckoned with if they caused trouble. The human kingdoms had always been wary of the elves, so it was only natural that they would be the second most likely victors.
But the prerequisite was that the elves would first have to decide who would represent the elves. Perhaps there would be an internal conflict among the elves.
The elven kingdoms in the southwestern mountains were dominated by the silver elves. They had already established a new united kingdom at the end of last year. Nominally, this kingdom didn't have an Elf King, but the Silver Elf War God Sonia was secretly behind this kingdom. Sonia was the second most powerful individual in the Elf God Faction, although he never had much of a presence.
The St. Heen Empire had just been established, and more than 20 Kingdoms of the Elves had already declared war on it. At the same time, an equal number of Kingdoms of the Elves had declared their subordination. The Moon Elf Queen Afina's name explained everything. Although it hadn't been stated explicitly, everyone knew that the Main God of the Elves, Anslo, was behind this kingdom.
Obviously, the moon elves, silver elves, and the Gods behind them had decided to use strength to decide who would be the boss.
The Silver Elves were originally a Warrior race among the High Elves. They were brave and skilled in battle, while the Moon Elves were skilled in Divine Arts and magic. They had countless secret manuals. Plus, Anslo was obviously more powerful than Sania, so the Moon Elves were more likely to win.
Of course, it was also possible that this was just false information to conceal the vision of the other races. Perhaps the two families had already formed an alliance in private, but judging from the current situation of the battle, the possibility was a little low.
That's right, the elves' internal war had already begun, and it was incredibly cruel. Both sides unhesitatingly used ancient magical weapons and high-level magic. Every day, over ten thousand elves and three times that number of vassal species died on the battlefield. Although the neighboring human countries weren't affected, they were all on high alert.
The second returning species that the fairies viewed as a major threat were the undead of the Tark Republic. The undead's past and present had already been revealed (by Roland Mist), and the power behind them was frighteningly powerful. The names of the Undead Emperors were quite frightening.
Although the Undead Emperors were restricted by the dimensional laws of the Undead Plane, the fairies unhesitatingly listed the Undead Plane as the second-most dangerous of all top-level threats when considering the frightening combat potential of the Undead Plane.
Of course, since the Undead Plane was viewed as a mega threat, the journals would naturally write about them in detail. However, for Roland who was familiar with the Undead Plane, this wouldn't be very meaningful.
The third returning species was naturally the ogres. The ogres had once been the rulers of this plane, living in the same generation as the elves. However, the ogres also had a rather complicated relationship with the Tark Republic, the second-most powerful species in the world.
A large number of ogres had appeared in the Sapphiron region of San Antonio. There were many subspecies of ogres in the snowy plains, mountain cliffs, and forests. It was evident that the ogres had already merged with each other, rather than just a single branch species. It was likely that the ogres had royalty or a priest's bloodline behind them. Meanwhile, fire ogres had also appeared in the Amu Mountains. These were strange half-elemental, half-ogre creatures that were incredibly difficult to deal with.
Originally, the ogres hadn't been viewed as a threat by everyone. In fact, some people were quite happy that San Antonio was finally in trouble. However, the fairies' analysis caused all the countries to be even more vigilant against the ogres.
"The ogres aren't the cannibals from the legends. The ogres have comforted the residents of the places they conquered and even provided them with food. The ogres are currently steadily establishing their own cities. Nobody knows how they arrived, but it's obvious that they're not a single species. It's highly likely that they have the support of a God. "
However, it was evident that the ogres had met with major trouble. Although it was unknown why the ogres had chosen the mountains around San Antonio as their base of operations, this mega empire would definitely be difficult to deal with.
The Sea Tribe was quite powerful, and they also had the support of a True God. However, considering that the Sea Tribe had to live in the sea or by the shore, their aggressiveness was limited, so the Sea Tribe's threat rating wasn't very high. Not only that, the Ottoman Empire was also there to deal with the Sea Tribe.
Of course, the fairies' analysis wasn't complete. The ancient species that had only appeared in small numbers weren't on the Sea Tribe's list. The fairies had obviously missed out on the most important species, the return of the titans and the awakening of the giants. However, the Dragons and the Bardi Empire seemed to be fighting against these species as well.
It could be said that just by looking at these returning species, it could be said that the mortal plane was in dire straits. Every major country had already met with their own problems. Any single country that collapsed would cause a chain reaction.
The reason why the fairies viewed these returning species as their number one enemy was because they had once been the rulers of this world. They were highly aggressive and proactive. It would be impossible for the fairies to sit down and negotiate with each other before they suffered serious losses and defeats.
"Negotiate? Give us a small region to live in? Why should we? It's all ours to begin with. "
In this aspect, the outsiders that the fairies viewed as a level 2 threat were much better off.
Out of all the outsiders, the ones that attracted the most attention were the gigantic bugs that had appeared around the North Sea. However, considering that the average temperature there was around -10 degrees Celsius, only primitive humans and seals would be on guard against them.
The fairies were still collecting information on the bugs. However, the bugs were completely incapable of communicating with each other. They would even attack each other if they encountered them. Even if the fairies saw the bugs' communication, it would be useless. It would be incredibly difficult to obtain information on the bugs. This mission seemed to be impossible to complete in a short period of time.
Then, Roland shouted, "Are you kidding me? This doesn't seem right." These strange technological creatures had already tamed many native humans. They had even begun to construct strange buildings. It seemed as if they intended to stage a battle between technological colonists and magical natives.
However, it seemed that there weren't many of them, so they didn't attract much attention. At least, not for the time being.
Of course, not all the visitors came with evil intentions. Among the many strange "guests," the cute and gentle Orc subhumans were very popular. They called themselves the "Cami people," but humans called them little Orcs. The neighboring countries had already tried to interact with them.
It had to be said that appearances were actually very important. For example, the Octopus people were treated as monsters the moment they appeared, while the little Orcs were very popular.
Of course, the fairies wouldn't forget about the Wood Spirits, who were also a new species. However, it was evident that they were also cute and had been born pure. This world had accepted them from the very beginning.
The Wood Spirits were viewed as a level 2 threat not because they were a high level of threat. Instead, as the Holy War progressed, more and more new visitors arrived. Not only did this world become more and more colorful, but it also brought even more threats.
The third threat was actually the main threat to this world — wars between human countries.
It wasn't rare for humans to have internal wars. If it was rare, humans wouldn't fight each other. But right now, if one found a marker and painted the places where wars were about to break out red on a map, perhaps the final result would be a red rag.
Small countries would declare war on small countries, while large countries would declare war on small countries and large countries. Even mega countries wouldn't declare war on each other. The ambitious ones had encountered the best era.
Brave warriors desired to become heroes of the Holy War. The strong desired to obtain power and immortality. Kings desired to become heroic emperors who would leave their names in history. Even the Gods desired to become stronger. In that case, there would be plenty of reasons for war.
As for whether or not there was something fishy or some scheme behind the reasons for war, it was likely that even if there was concrete evidence, these people who desired more territory would pretend that they didn't see anything.
Since the flames of the Holy War had been ignited, the Holy Church, which was embroiled in a war between divine authority and royal authority, no longer had any restraints. The ambitious ones who desired to plunder naturally took action.
There were three main types of threats, and the list of threats was quite frightening.
When Roland, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, saw this list, he could only helplessly shake his head. This was the damned inevitability of history. These countries and rulers wanted to fight and find reasons to expand their territory. Unless he killed them off one by one, it would be impossible to stop them.
However, this wasn't meaningless to Roland. At the very least, it strengthened his resolve to carry out his plan at all costs. It was no longer the time to hesitate.
"There's not much time left. We need to hurry. Even if there are sacrifices, there's no other way … "
