Chapter 159

Because of witnessing the battlefield with his own eyes, Sui Xiong dispelled the original idea of stealing the research of the three artifacts of the Eagle. For www.biquge.info whole night, he floated above the battlefield, thinking alone.

Born in an era of peace and tranquility, growing up in a stable and peaceful society, for him at the beginning, the cruelest and most terrifying thing in the world was probably a lovelorn neurotic who took a machete to the street and slashed many people, and was finally killed on the spot - he was eating spicy rice noodles in the store next to him, and he was surprised to send the rice noodles stained with chili oil into his nostrils, which is a deep memory.

Of course, he has also seen a lot of horrific reports, such as terrorist attacks that endanger the public in such and such areas, such as wars and famines in such and such areas, such as earthquakes and tsunamis in such and such areas...... However, after all, those are all watched through the media of television, computers, newspapers, etc., and lack a sense of reality.

Born and raised in a peaceful world, he developed a gentle and soft character. He is willing to negotiate with others to solve problems, willing to share the benefits with everyone, willing to share interests, willing to compromise and back down appropriately......

However, it also makes him react quite violently when faced with evil actions that are beyond the bottom line of his compromise and concession. It would be a very heavy blow for him to face the cruelty that was beyond his means.

And the cruel scene he has seen in his life is the most at this moment.

It's not that he hasn't fought, it's not that he hasn't fought. For example, when I was in the abyss, I killed an unknown number of demons. Not long ago, he participated in the war against Cloud City, and fought with a large number of angels and oracles. I don't know how many were killed. But it doesn't matter if it's a demon or an angel. When you are killed, you don't have that bloody sense of tragedy, only the light and shadow fire explosion effect similar to that in the game. For veteran players, this kind of battle is really hard enough for him to feel real, but it is like an intense and difficult virtual game.

In fact, until now, Sui Xiong often fantasizes that maybe he was just having a long and absurd dream, and when he woke up, he returned to real life, returned to his dormitory, and continued to look at the warehouse, draw illustrations, and play games.

Maybe this can be regarded as an escapism, he really can't accept the chaos of this world.

But at the moment. The scene of countless human and humanoid corpses strewn all over the field, and finally he could no longer escape reality, and had to look directly at this bloody battlefield and this cruel world.

As an artist, Sui Xiong is a sensual person, he is not good at meticulous analytical thinking, but he is good at understanding and feeling others.

At this moment, he could deeply feel the pain and despair of the dead, and the grief and sorrow of the living. Feel the devastation of the war and the catastrophe that will last for a long time......

He just floated motionless above the battlefield, watching the people at his feet busy, collecting corpses day by day. Processed separately. The bodies of the nobles and knights of the more powerful were frozen and waiting to be returned to their cemeteries, and the lower officers and adventurers of the lower ranks, who had a slight status but were not high enough. The corpses were burned to ashes, and the ashes were packed in small jars. They were given to their families along with their belongings, and as for ordinary soldiers, their bodies were gathered and burned. Then the ashes were buried en masse, and all they left behind was a name on the "dead list" of the army clerks.

Compared to the more civilized Eagle Kingdom, the Orc Empire's approach is more rough and ruthless. The corpses of famous and powerful men will be found and transported back to their hometowns along with their relics, because this can be used as materials for their descendants or clansmen to pass on the bloodline, and ordinary soldiers will be burned directly, and the ashes will be scattered in the wind, and even burial will be saved. As for the clerk, he only records how many people died in a certain tribe, and he doesn't bother to remember them at all.

Sui Xiong stayed on the battlefield for a month, watching the two sides silently clean up, sending envoys to negotiate and deliver the prisoners, and when the weather was almost extremely cold in late January, the last troops of the two sides who remained here also left, and the land that had been fought for bloodily was only a vast white snow, covering all traces.

At this time, the results of casualties on both sides have also been counted.

On the human side, the army directly under the Eagle Kingdom originally had about 400,000 people, nearly 200,000 died in battle, died of disease and serious wounded, about 20,000 were lightly wounded, and about 50,000 were scattered and fled; the recruited adventurers originally numbered more than 4,000, but more than 2,000 died, and the number of minor and serious injuries was almost the same, and very few were intact; about 50,000 volunteers and knights from various countries rushed to help the battle, nearly 45,000 were killed in battle, and few of the remaining 5,000 still retained their combat effectiveness, and the casualties were the most tragic.

The orcs are more general, the total number of troops involved in the decisive battle is about 650,000, almost 350,000 died on the battlefield, and later due to the lack of healing ability of the shaman, nearly 100,000 were injured, sick and died or fled. However, the orcs did have another figure - about 150,000 elite troops lost, and other losses were about 300,000.

In total, more than a million troops were invested on both sides, and there were even legions of divine envoys led by the true gods into battle. In the end, the earliest patron saint of mankind, the god of knights with high prestige, fell, and countless deaths and injuries were suffered among the divine envoys and believers, and the total number of mortals on both sides exceeded 750,000!

Such a tragic war has rarely occurred in the history of the past. Even in the legendary battle between humans and orcs back then, although the number of troops mobilized exceeded this number, the casualties were much less than this - the two sides mobilized more than 1.5 million troops that time, but in the end the total number of casualties was only about 300,000, not even half of this time.

The key to the tragic casualties in this battle was the investment of divine forces on both sides, as well as several crazy dog-tooth scuffles. The legendary level of the army of divine envoys is too amazing for the killing efficiency of mortals, and with the help of super-large-scale auxiliary divine arts, mortals who are usually slaughtered and will be scattered have unimaginable courage and launched crazy battles, regardless of physical strength and casualties, not only making the number of casualties to an astonishing extent, but also allowing a large number of people to die due to injuries and diseases after the war.

In particular, the human army once broke through the orc battle line and launched a completely one-sided slaughter of the low-powered auxiliaries behind the orc army. It was as if wheat had been cut with a huge scythe, and countless auxiliaries died in patches, and the blood even pooled into a small lake at one point. The result was that few of the human assault forces made it back alive, and almost all of the warriors died in the orc positions.

And in the dog-tooth scuffle, the situation is reversed. Although several elite troops of the orcs were almost wiped out, before they were wiped out, they brought several times their own human beings to Huangquan together.

The serious consequences of such deaths and injuries will be felt in the future.

The total population of the Eagle Kingdom is about five million, but the eastern griffon dukedoms are basically semi-independent, and although the land is not large, the land is very fertile, and it supports almost a million people. During this battle, the Duke of Griffon sent only more than 3,000 troops to help, and this army was very slippery, always maintaining a relatively safe position on the battlefield, and the losses were minimal.

With a population of four million and an army of 400,000 mobilized, this is almost exhausted for the Eagle Kingdom. The direct loss of 200,000 and the wounded and fleeing 70,000 almost meant that the entire army had lost nearly seventy percent, or more than one-fifteenth of the five million people on average. In those areas where there were fewer troops, it was possible that five people from one village joined the army and three came back, but in those areas where there were more troops, there were really cries in every house, there were dead people in every household, many funerals were held at the same time in every territory, and many orphans and widows were added to each village.

The Orc Empire has not counted the exact population, which should be between 12 million and 15 million, but many of these tribes are obedient to His Majesty's orders, and the real number of hardcore royalists should only be six to seventy, that is, seven hundred to ten million.

Taking a more optimistic middle number, assuming that His Majesty the Emperor can mobilize an army among 9 million people, regardless of the auxiliaries, the elite troops will not exceed 300,000, and 100,000 will die at once, which will seriously shake the rule of His Majesty the Emperor. Not to mention the loss of the 300,000 auxiliary soldiers, it may not directly damage the emperor's rule, but it will have many bad effects on the people.

For the Orc Empire, this means that many once powerful tribes will be weakened, and many tribes that are not strong will be swallowed up, and the civil strife and fighting that will arise after that do not know how much more blood will be shed.

At the same time, one must not forget the knights, armies, and adventurers who did not belong to the Eagle Kingdom and supported them for profit, faith, or the king's orders. Their losses were also extremely heavy, with almost the entire main plane of the elite followers of the god of knights killed or wounded, and only about one-fifth of those volunteers made it back to their homeland alive. Even the adventurers, who had relatively few losses, died in half......

This is war, a war that is unimaginably tragic.

Before the outbreak of this war, many people had guessed, speculated that both sides would win, and there were many people who guessed that everyone would have a draw, but even the craziest and most pessimistic people did not expect that the two sides would fight so badly, it was like a nightmare!

This crazy and tragic battle even moved the goddess of war and death of the god of war. Although he had always been keen to make the deaths of both sides of the war more tragic, and even planned a massacre with the god of hunting and slaughter, the cruel and evil god could not help but flinch in the face of the super scene of a million-strong battle with more than 70% casualties. So much so that His followers, who were supposed to sing the praises of this war, lost their voices a little.

Regardless of the scale of the war or the number of casualties on both sides, this great battle, which later generations called the "Battle of the Day the Sun Goes Out", was so frightening that even the gods trembled.

In terms of the impact on future generations, perhaps this human war is more profound than the war of the gods of the human god system to annihilate the sun god system...... (To be continued.) )
