"Your majesty, I believe things are only getting worse" The officer spoke in such low spirit that the emperor become nervous that he's going to say "There are rumors within the Imperial Army that a secret project which is develop under the joint venture of Imperial Advance Technology and Research Institution, Carl Johnson Robotics and Spartan Heavy Armament that quote a weapon that surpass modern warfare" The officer paused to let the emperor and his advisors digest the information, then a calm man with green hair and violet eyes asked the officer
"Director Ermys, what exactly a weapon that surpass modern warfare?" The man asked with a calm demeanor, then the director answered "Unfortunately Prime Minister sir, we don't have any concrete intelligence regarding that matter" Director Ermys shook his head dejectedly before adding "Whatever it was, it will surely shifts the balance of power when release, that I sure of it"
Then the the Chief of Staff of the Holy Army, a red haired man with a crimson eyes share his thought "If we can't defeat such a foe, well we invite the one's who can" Then an evil smirks etched on his face before finally dropping the bombshell at the room "Of course, I'm talking about those filthy demons!" Then the room erupts with insult, anger and disbelief "Have you finally gone mad!? To allied ourselves to those creatures is an greatest taboo to the Goddess and insult to the sacrifice of Supreme Mage Cassia Windwalker during demonic invasion 500 years ago!"
As an elf species, they have a lifespan of 1600 years so majority in this room understood this betrayal cause they personally saw the last stand of the Grand Mage against the demonic incursion and some of them are friends of her's including the emperor "General, your very suggestions is tantamount to high treason against the Holy Empire and heretic in the eyes of the Goddess but..." A cold furious gaze of the emperor but then replaced by a indifferent and calculating expression "Desperate times calls for desperate solution"
The emperor gaze turns to Director Ermys as he gave the his orders "Ermys, I want you and the entire S.I.S to plant the fragments of the great demon lord which is currently contained on the great vault within the Polemian Empire and leak the information to them, I believed the demons are searching for it since the death of their lord" All of the people within the room was shocked beyond belief even the calm Prime Minister can't help stand up and voice out in anger "Have you finally lost your mind Edward!? Even just one of those fragment can resurrect the demon lord! Just fucking one! If they manage to do such a thing Mirage!, Daniel!, Cassie! and so as millions of soldiers died of that day will be in vain!"
It's been a while since Emperor Edward saw his childhood friend in anger, the last time he saw him in such a state when he found out his wife Mirage Amberheart died, but he didn't care, emotions is a distraction, distraction lead hesitation which equals to their deaths and fall of the holy empire, there are no such thing as an "good answer" in this predicament, only death or survival "You have your orders Director, get it done"

Three hundred meters deep underground, a gaint military complex which houses top military officials from the Imperial Army, Navy, Air and Space Force gathered for a classified meeting, "So your saying those fucking elven cunts are currently developing an WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) to use against our most populated cities?" A greying blonde old man with a rank of Lieutenant General asked a younger man with black uniform with no insignia or patches standing beside a large 8k resolution flatscreen
"Yes sir, we have a credible intelligence from a reliable source within the Holy Empire" The man answered the general indifferently as he present pictures on the screen where it shows a large magical circle which is written on the ground goes brightly before turning vicious black then a figure wearing a white and golden magician robe and a plain white mask storngly and pridefully stood on the center of the circle, it then point it's magic staff on the air and starts gathering this black energy "Fucking hell! It's that the legendary staff that crafted and used only by Supreme Mage Cassia Windwalker! The Staff of Retribution!" An officer who is specialized in elven history points out at the beautiful golden staff with a magic stone on top of it
After gathering for a good minute, a miniature pure black orb that is size of golf ball hanging above the magician heads just several meters away from it, point it's staff at the mountain then the projectile flys at the speed of sound "What kind of creature possess such power?" An admiral wonders who ones contain such tremendous mana and not die, then the view shift where it displayed the result of such power as a mushroom cloud rose from the ground, all the viewers quietly watched where the huge mountain was gone cleanly "Wait!" A scientist exclaimed as she observed the result again before her face turn pale "You it can't be! It's impossible to gather such amount in a short timespan!" She hysterical mutters before turning to the the officials "It's antimatter!" Then she start a 30 minute explanation of hypothesis why she say it's antimatter which is supported by other scientists
"So what now?" A Colonel of the Royal Marines breaks the somber mood where an young man in his late 20s steps forward with a rank of Supreme Marshall on his shoulder that causes everyone to stand in attention answered "His majesty the great emperor, orders all military into DEFCON 2 and eliminate this mysterious mage whatever means necessary to paveway for the invasion of the Holy Elven Empire" The man coldly spoken while everyone else reaction differ, the younger generation was ecstatic because they have finally have a chance to prove themselves in the battlefield while the older one's have a grim look but quietly acknowledge the order
"As you were, his majesty my father, is highly concerned regarding the recent developments of an magical spell equivalent of an WMD of those long ears and this unknown mage according to the experts is a peak Grand Mage that leading this test, originally our plan is to overwhelm elven forces by numbers and suprerior firepower" The Supreme Marshall display the warplan on the screen his generals and admirals which simulate it's invasion "With our Combined Arms Divisions, air superiority and naval firepower we can easily smash through the south border and end the war within two months"
The screen shows dozens of it's C.A.D from armored to infantry types easily capturing cities and before finally the capital city "But this magician" He display the photo of the mage "Change everything, so our first objective for the upcoming war is to find this mage and eliminate it"
