Roxie's explanation made Shien look surprised.
An unbeatable Mage Corps?
Wasn't that a bit exaggerated?
"Even stronger than the Royal Knights?"
Shien voiced his doubts to Roxie.
Roxie merely rolled her eyes.
"You need to understand that while the Royal Knights are strong, they're only the strongest in the kingdom," Roxie said. "The Kingdom of Mithra is merely one of the many human nations. It may be stronger than many countries, but in terms of military strength alone, the Empire actually surpasses the kingdom. The Royal Knights might not necessarily defeat the Empire's strongest Knights."
"And that's only among humans. Not to mention the other races, each of which has elite corps that can be considered the finest of their kind."
"For example, the Beastmen Race's Priestly Corps and the Dwarves' Iron Cavalry Corps. Both are no weaker than the kingdom's Royal Knights, and may even surpass them."
Only after Roxie said that did Shien understand.
"No wonder the Beastman Priest Corps had so many high-level Beastman Priests. Oz was Legendary-tier, and Mafy was close to Legendary-tier."

The Royal Knights were only the pride of the Kingdom of Mithra, not the pride of all humanity.

The Elves were one such race.
As a race naturally gifted in magic and blessed with long lives, their long years and exceptional talent combined to produce countless powerful mages.
These elven mages formed the Elves' strongest Mage Corps, as well as the strongest Mage Corps among all races: the Elf
