The situation near Furnace Fortress has been honestly reported to the Elf Capital. Since the Ice Cold Empire is currently relying heavily on the elves' support to persist in the battle, they have no reason to hide the real situation.
After all, they are the "beggars," and naturally, one must let others know just how "miserable" they are to seek help. Sometimes, you even have to act it out, presenting your plight in a more exaggerated manner.
