The long lifespan has caused the elves to suffer from a common ailment of longevity races—their ideologies and beliefs cannot keep up with the times.
Those in power are all a group of old folks, hundreds or even thousands of years old, lacking sensitivity to changes in the continental situation, and often their assessment of each race's strength remains stuck in the past.
Before the outbreak of this continental war, almost all elves believed that if they fought with all their might, the Anti-Human Alliance could defeat the Human Race.
They entirely failed to notice the various reform movements undertaken by human nations in recent decades.
In the long run, these incomplete reforms will ultimately end in failure.
But within a certain period, the military strength of various countries has indeed improved.
The Anti-Human Alliance was very unlucky, coinciding precisely with the peak military period of human nations.
"Your Majesty, good news!"
