Chapter 22: The Bloody War (Part II)

About half an hour later, the orcs also threw themselves into the reserves. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Despite the size of the battlefield, it is still not enough for both sides, both of which have more than a million troops. Neither humans nor orcs can put all their forces into battle at once.

Of course, the first to step into the battlefield must be the most elite troops, after all, everyone wants to be the first to take the lead. But since the first wave failed to defeat the enemy, it had to turn the battle into a continuous positional war and a war of attrition.

It's like a grinding disc of flesh and blood.

The orcs were not as trained as the humans, and when their reserves stepped onto the battlefield and the exhausted vanguard was ready to retreat, the humans also put in a new reserve and massively strengthened the offensive. In this way, the battle situation was immediately pulled off, so that the vanguard of the orcs did not have time to withdraw.

What will happen when an army that is tired and ready to retreat has to turn around and engage a recharged army?

In just a few minutes, the most elite vanguard of the orcs suffered heavy losses, and many of the most prestigious legions were almost completely wiped out.

The Orc Emperor watched all this in silence, and did not give an order, but only let the staff committee composed of veterans and strategists of various clans who were well versed in military affairs discuss and decide on their own.

He knew that he was not a good thinker. Compared with the previous emperors, his strength is that he has been in the army for many years and has outstanding prestige. If he wants to talk about fighting, he can at best see the situation, what to do in what situation, that is really beyond his ability.

This is the case with most orc generals, when they fight, they are nothing more than "come with me", "rush with me", and "withdraw with me"...... That's it. To say that the charge is in front and the retreat is behind, they are indeed not ambiguous, but if it is said that they are improvised, they really can't.

Of course, the human side is not much better, but the population advantage means the talent advantage, and the talents that can be selected out of 300 people will of course be much more than those selected out of 100 people. Not to mention that the level of education in human society is generally high, and the success rate is also much higher.

Therefore, although the level of bravery of the human commanders may be worse than that of the orcs, their observation of the battle situation and their grasp of the fighters are much higher than those of the orcs.

Just like now, the orc side did not urgently mobilize troops to respond until the staff made a decision, and the vanguard that was able to successfully withdraw in the end was less than one-third of the total number of participants in the battle, and it can be said that it was almost completely destroyed.

The reality is not to play a game, if an army loses about one-tenth of the battle, it can rejoin the war after resting; if it reaches one-third, it must replenish new troops or reorganize; if it exceeds half, it will not only need to replenish troops and reorganization, but also need a long period of recuperation to restore their fighting spirit; if the loss reaches two-thirds, it is almost no different from a collapse, and it is not even possible to break them up and integrate them into other units, because their low morale may affect other people.

Such an army must return to the rear to recuperate for a long time, so that a stable life can heal the panic and pain in the hearts of the soldiers, and then they can return to the battlefield again.

Seeing those once famous troops retreating to the rear with a frightened face, the orc emperor's white eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face sank like water.

He knew that, at least in this war, there was no possibility for these troops to fight a tough battle again.

The attack on the retreat just now had already made them almost collapse. The reason why he was able to hold on to the battle and hold out until the reinforcements arrived relied on the sacrifice of the elite in the army and the courage that was temporarily summoned in a desperate situation. Now that they are safe, the courage naturally dissipates.

This is like many soldiers who are very brave on the battlefield, but after returning to the rear, they will look nervous, afraid of this and that all day long, it is nothing more than that the courage to come from danger has dissipated, and all that is left is panic.

The old emperor didn't say anything, just stood silently under his royal banner and stared at the battlefield.

He didn't think much about this war, he just tried his best to fight.

If you can win, that's the best. If you can't win, then you will die on the battlefield and write a decent ending to the fight of your life.

As for the question of whether you can win or not...... He wasn't sure.

The orc gods did not tell the mortals about their plans, and even the orc emperor, who had the highest status among the mortals, had just received the news that the great main god "Sky Devouring Dog" had driven the "Endless Wilderness" of the orc clan to die with the "Radiant Plains" of the human kingdom.

According to the plan of the orc gods, this blow will definitely hit the human gods hard, and all that remains is to lead the gods of all races who rushed to fight the water dogs, and unite to strangle the group of human gods who were seriously injured.

Of course, the beast in a desperate situation is the most ferocious. Especially for an extremely strong person like the Lord of Radiance, even if he was seriously injured due to the explosion of the Kingdom of God, it was not so easy to deal with. Therefore, the orc gods are also ruthless this time, even if they want to pay for all the high-end forces, they will also kill the Lord of Radiance.

Only by killing the Lord of Radiance can this war really have a chance of victory.

Before that, all mortals had to do was to fight with all their might, taking advantage of the fact that the human gods were temporarily unable to build a channel of divine power because of the destruction of the kingdom of God, and weaken the combat power of the human side as much as possible.

It's like simple arithmetic, everyone subtracts from each other, and what is subtracted is nothing more than fresh lives.

Time passed little by little, and the tide of the battle gradually tilted against the human side.

The advantage of the magic support is too great!

The orc soldiers often put on a full body of auxiliary spells before going to war. This gives them more strength, faster movements, and courage in their hearts, sharper weapons, stronger armor, and even when they are injured, they often receive some degree of healing and can fight longer.

In contrast, although the human soldiers are well armed and trained, their innate physique is much behind in the first place, and the gap in support spells makes them often need several people to fight against an orc.

Some time before the war, the spell casters on the human side could still use spells to provide assistance, but the amount of spells was limited, and soon their mana was exhausted, even if they used the various props prepared before, they could not recover much, so the gap between auxiliary spells became larger and wider, and the combat power of the two sides gradually became high.

Although the human soldiers were still brave and fought with all their might, their battle line was slowly pushed backwards, little by little, step by step.

Every step of the battle line was soaked in blood, and in the back, the soldiers on both sides even stood directly in the pile of corpses to fight.

This bloody battle shocked and uneasy everyone.
