Having enslaved people and elves on the continent, the orcs rushed to the promised islands. The pampered elves living there are completely unprepared to repel an attack. Everyone is convinced of the ability of the leaders of Elfland to oppose the Horde with the achievements of techno-magical progress, thus costing little blood. There is a rumor about some powerful miracle weapon that can destroy all the orcs in an instant. You just need to hold out long enough to give the elven sorcerers the opportunity to perform a ritual and put an end to the green-skinned creatures forever. However, the orcs are not at all frightened by such prospects, they revel in permissiveness. Their understanding of the true balance of power in the struggle for world domination is as far from objectivity as that of citizens watching the legendary elf-vision. Meanwhile, the gnomes are preparing to show that their new ideology provides very tangible advantages. The plans of the Lychnists extend much further than the “intelligent races” at each other’s throats think. Author’s notes: This is the second book in the “Brave Dark World” trilogy.
