I also think there may be a time skip. Especially since part 1 of the novel series is officialy over and part 2 is staring next volume.

The only detail not working in our favor is that the beastmen are attacking the dragonic kingdom. If a time skip happens, we wouldn't understant wether they lost or survived the invasion.
