Chapter Twenty-Eight: The War of Attrition (Part II)

Wars are brutal, wars are hard, no matter which side it is. Vertices M. updates the fastest

While the human side is under so much pressure that the Radiant Kingdom is on the verge of collapse, the orcs are no better.

Orcs are less productive than humans, and they have mobilized too many troops to survive the frontal battle.

So much so that it has seriously affected rear production.

The main business of the orcs is animal husbandry, followed by farming. From the twilight of winter to the beginning of summer, the long-term confrontation between the two armies consumed a large amount of food, which had almost bottomed out the food reserves of the orc empire.

If this confrontation continues, the human side may be able to hold out for a while longer, but the orcs can't hold out for long.

Emperor Yiluo looked at the heavily guarded warehouse behind him and sighed secretly in his heart.

Although those military ration warehouses are very large, there are not many military rations in them. If this trend of consumption is maintained, it is estimated that in another month to a month and a half, the army will run out of food.

Backward agricultural and animal husbandry production, scarce manpower, resulting in production in the rear is not very able to keep up, to get out of the immediate crisis, the only way to get out of the immediate crisis is to ask the gods for help.

But...... If you ask the gods for help, you may be violating the rules of the Lord of Order.

Neither the Emperor Ilo nor the orc gods were willing to take this risk.

The current situation is on the side of the orcs, so they are not willing to take risks. Taking a risk or something is something that only the disadvantaged side does.

Just like when the "Dog of Heaven Swallowing" Le Feng didn't say a word, he directly used the kingdom of God to knock out the kingdom of human beings.

But...... If you don't get help from the gods, this war on earth may be lost.

Emperor Yiluo frowned and remained silent.

"Wait, wait. Finally, he said to himself, "At least, you can't bother the gods until you really can't do it!"

To the east of the Great Wall, in the human barracks, the atmosphere was also very gloomy.

Unlike the orcs, who at least had frequent good news, the human side had bad news after bad news during this time, and there was almost no good news.

This time there was attacked, this and that convoy was attacked, and Your Majesty still couldn't get in touch, and the troops who tried to attack the orc army returned with a feather...... All in all, no good news!

If you don't know the importance of this war, if you don't know that there is no way out, I'm afraid that many people can't help but go home.

At a routine military meeting, the air pressure was so low that it seemed like it was going to rain.

"His Majesty the Void Mask has taken another batch of about 20,000 refugees today. ”

"Just take it and take it away, at least it takes a lot of pressure off us. ”

"But there are already signs in many places, and many people are reluctant to fight this battle. ”

"Those foolish fellows! Don't they understand that we are already standing on a cliff, and we are going to fall to our deaths if we let go except to grit our teeth and climb up to the top of the mountain!"

"The people are ignorant and the most direct, it is difficult for them to understand this kind of thing, they can only see the immediate benefits. ”

"Damn! We are fighting bloodshed on the front line, as long as they work in the rear, they can't even do this kind of thing, they are just rubbish!"

“...... During this period of time, there have been a large number of labor injuries in various places, and the number of injuries and even deaths due to the heavy labor burden has been very large. Here's a statistic."

"Shut up! This kind of statistics are useless! We want victory, and it is worth paying a big price!"

“...... Be. ”

"Why don't we try another large-scale attack, the mages have prepared enough things to support a big battle. ”

"Those wild beasts are waiting for us to attack! Attacking now is playing into their hands! What we have to do is to consume, grit our teeth and consume with them! No matter how much pressure we have here, their pressure will only be greater than ours! You must understand that behind us are various countries, with abundant materials and strong industrial and agricultural production. There is only that backward empire behind the orcs, and it is impossible to rely on grazing to have enough supplies to supply their army!"

"But they've survived so far, and maybe for a long time......"

"No matter how long they can last, they won't outlast us!" "The leader of the human alliance, the king of the Radiant Kingdom, and the current high priest of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, revealed a cold light in his eyes because of the previous assassin attack, "We are now equal to two wounded beasts, and everyone is bleeding. But they are more injured than we are, and their bodies are not as strong as ours, so if we continue to wear them down, victory will be ours!"

After a long silence, a young nobleman asked, "But...... Gods"

He had only just said half of his words when he was covered by the people around him.

The one-eyed king looked at them grimly, and saw the man who covered his mouth tremble.

After a long time, he said coldly: "The first military rule, enforcement!"

With that, he ended the military meeting.

A moment later, a scream was heard outside the conference room, and the young nobleman's head was hung on the flagpole.

The first military regulation prohibits mentioning things related to the war of the gods, and violators will be beheaded for public display regardless of their identity!

The one-eyed king sat in his study, silent, with a gloomy face and a fierce look in his eyes.

He knows that everyone is under a lot of pressure, but who is under more pressure than him?

Those useless things!

Now is the time to fight for consumption, even if you want to eat people, you have to suffer until the orcs can't consume it!

They are hard, Your Majesty is working hard now, everyone is hard, the enemy is also hard.

War is such a hard thing!

Without so much hard work, where is the victory!

The one-eyed king didn't say anything, sat alone in the darkness for a long time, and then walked out of the study and went to the prayer room.

In front of the altar, he fell to his knees and prayed sincerely.

"Great Lord of Light, Leader and Hope of our humanity, please guide me as always, give me courage and ruthlessness, so that I can persevere, so that I can lead those who have developed a feeling of cowardice and retreat, to continue to persevere!"

"We will win, we will not hold you back! Fight the way you want, no matter what, we will stay the course." Whatever you need us to do, we'll do it!"

"Your pious servant prays here, that you must be victorious, and that you must lead us to victory!"

"For the sake of victory, whatever is needed, we will not hesitate to give!"

"All we want is victory!"

Outside the prayer room, the green jellyfish, invisible to the naked eye, watched in silence, their faces full of embarrassment.
