Chapter One Hundred and Seven
Inside the Pantheon, the atmosphere has been tense during this time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In the second row after the Lord of Order, the Lord of Radiance unleashed unimaginable powers and moved his seat next to the Sky Swallower. He didn't speak, but sat still, silently waiting.
But the Sky Devouring Dog did not appear, not only the main god of the orc god system, but also the gods of the entire orc god system, did not appear during this time.
The Lord of Radiance didn't say anything about the matter, he just sneered and waited patiently.
The orc god wants to expand its power through human war, which is a common routine of divine warfare. Both human and orc gods believe in gods, and when the number of people who believe in them decreases, their power will also weaken, and there are examples of demotion or even fall.
But...... The war between orcs and humans has lasted for so many years, and there has never been a victory, such as the general mobilization of the orc empire, which has also happened in history, although each time it has been fought extremely fiercely, but it has not really broken the defense of human countries even once. Could this time be an exception?
The gods of the Pantheon waited for several days, and finally the Fire Elemental God "Flame King", who had a good relationship with the Lord of Light, finally couldn't help but ask him questions about this human war.
The Lord of Radiance did not play the game of "silence is golden", he sneered and said, "All this time, the smudge-covered beasts have dominated the vast fertile fields, on which they grow like mosquitoes and perform all kinds of ugliness. Not only that, but they always set their sights on areas where humans thrive, trying to spread the ugly ecology like a plague. Invasions like this happen every once in a while, and it's not a big deal. ”
"Is that all?" asked the Flame King.
"That's pretty much it. The Lord of Light replied confidently, "We humans never reject any friend, nor do we fear any enemy. We welcome friends with good food, wine, singing and dancing, and crush our enemies with sword magic. They want to fight? Humanity is not afraid of war!"
Such an answer was obviously not satisfactory to the Flame King, so he asked the Lord of Light if he had any specific strategy to meet it, but the Lord of Light refused to answer, saying that it was a military secret and not suitable for public discussion. If you are interested, you can ask privately.
After a while, the Flame King found the God of War again and asked the Lord God of War for his opinion on the war.
"You know, I like war!" smiled the god of war, whose face was rather old, but there was not even the slightest hint of kindness in his smile, but it was full of ferocity and bloodlust, "whether it is attacking or retreating, whether it is aggression or guarding, whether it is sweeping or raiding...... As long as it's war. I love them all!"
"I like to see countless people fighting for interests or ideals or beliefs, it doesn't matter why, as long as they fight. ”
"I love to see their blood all over the ground, I like to see the victors cheering in pools of blood, seeing the losers wailing in pools of blood, seeing the dying struggling in pools of blood, seeing the savages slaughtering in pools of blood, seeing swift people chasing in pools of blood...... Iron and blood. The smell of war is so fascinating! Whoever attacks is good and whoever fights for whom. Whoever laughs and cries is fine...... It doesn't matter, I just like the war itself, I like the sights of the war. ”
"When countless creatures shouted, roared, wept and wailed, when they fought and fought with all their strength. When I fought for less than half of the chance of survival, I would always watch them in the sky with ecstatic joy, admiring such a rare and beautiful view. ”
"You ask me what I think of this war, and my opinion is, OK! Good! Very good! I like this war!"
The Flame King was silent for a moment and asked, "I mean." What are your thoughts about the outcome of this war, who is more advantageous on both sides, and what the outcome might be...... Do you have any thoughts on this kind of question?"
"What about mortals who only live for a few decades? I'm not interested at all. The god of war smiled indifferently, "My strength comes from the war itself, all I care about is whether there is a war in the world, whether the war has broken out enough, and whether it has broken out violently enough." Other than that, I'm not interested!"
“...... Then you always have a little evaluation of the combat effectiveness of both sides, right?" the Flame King sighed, "Just give me a face, and talk a little bit about victory and defeat." ”
The god of war smiled, touched his beard, which was harder than a steel needle, and said, "The orcs have multiplied very much in recent years, and the young and strong population has increased a lot. So some of it will definitely be consumed by war. On the one hand, it is through this method to screen and eliminate those who are weak or unlucky, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce food consumption and reduce population pressure. So from this point of view, the orcs should not care much about victory. ”
The gods all nodded slightly, feeling that he had a point.
"But just because you don't care about winning doesn't mean you can't win. As I said before, the orcs have multiplied in recent years, which has led to an astonishing number of warmen, and the purpose of their wars is fundamentally only to deplete the population...... Then their fighting methods must be quite fierce, and it will be difficult for humans to resist. ”
The gods were silent for a while, and the god of knights couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you think should be done on the human side to improve the odds of victory?"
The god of war laughed: "What if you win? Look at the world, how many temples are left, how many believers do you have, how many people are still following your ideas, who wins and who loses, what does it matter to you!"
"There is a relationship. The god of knights said calmly, "Even if I fall tomorrow, today I will continue to watch and protect the human race." Even if I have to die the next moment, at least I am alive for this moment, alive, and I will fulfill the vow I made to myself. ”
There was silence in the pantheon for a while, and the god of war shook his head and sighed, "Mankind will definitely suffer, but it is only the size of the loss. If the human nations can unite and march from the east and south at the same time, then the orcs may not have much advantage of fighting on both sides. But you and I both know that it's impossible. ”
As He said, the Orc Empire is bounded by the Kingdom of the Holy Angels to the east and the Kingdom of the Eagle to the south, and the two nations are feuding, and they have been fighting for that fertile land in the Great Plains, which is located in the eastern part of the continent. To say that these two countries can put aside their hatred and join forces with the outside world, no one believes it.
Not to mention, the Divine Angel Kingdom is based on the belief in the sun god as the state religion, and it does not buy much of the accounts of the human gods, while the Eagle Kingdom is the key area of the belief of the human gods, and there are even many gods in the country. Even from the point of view of faith, there is no possibility that the Kingdom of the Holy Angels will help the Kingdom of the Eagle.
“...... Why do the orcs attack the Eagle Kingdom instead of the Holy Angel Kingdom?" At the high-level meeting of the Void Masquerade Church, Sui Xiong looked at the map and said in confusion, "Aren't they now strong and strong, and have a large population?
As he said, the area bordering the Orc Empire and the Holy Angel Kingdom is a vast hilly area, where a huge formation can be fully deployed, which is enough to maximize the orc's superiority in strength. The place where the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom border is a relatively narrow valley between the Greystone Mountains and the Behemoth Mountain Range, and there are fortresses built by the Eagle Kingdom for a long time, which are defended layer by layer. If you want to fight in such a place, you need not quantity but quality. Even if the orcs have more troops, there are not many that can be put into the battlefield at one time, so how can they take advantage?
"Probably out of politics and beliefs. "Speaking of war, there are not many people in the upper echelons of the Void Masqueradal Church who really have vision, and Leon Igor, the former prince of the Eagle Kingdom, can talk eloquently, "It is true that as Your Majesty said, from a military point of view, it is most advantageous for the orcs to fight eastward. However, if you fight to the east, the Eagle Kingdom is likely to attack under the oracle of the human gods, and fight with the Holy Angel Kingdom on both sides. After all, the Kingdom of the Holy Angels is also a human country, even if they don't believe in human gods very much, the human gods are supposed to protect them out of their priesthood. ”
"Then when you fight the Eagle Kingdom, isn't there such a problem?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Well, the Holy Angel Kingdom mainly believes in the Lord of Light (Sun God), he is one of the several leaders of the nature god system, and his relationship with the Lord of Light is not good, and he has been trying to weaken the belief of the human gods in the country for a long time. In this situation, he didn't let the Holy Angel Kingdom cooperate with the Orc Empire, then he was already thankful, expecting him to send down an oracle and let the Holy Angel Kingdom help the Eagle Kingdom? ”
Sui Xiong thought for a while, shook his head, and sighed.
"A bunch of guys who don't make any difference!"
”...... It's not that it's important, it's just that everyone cares about different things. In Sui Xiong's world, which has been named the "Sanctuary of Light", the gods with whom he has good relations gather to discuss the great war, and when Sui Xiong laments the importance of the sun god, Viye explains, "For the Lord of Light, the life or death of those who do not believe in Him is completely unworthy of concern. And after the orcs have lost a large number of people after this war, they should be stable for a long time, and the Holy Angel Kingdom will not have to worry about anything. It is only natural that they do not send troops to help the Eagle Kingdom. ”
"Don't they know the truth of cold lips and teeth?"
"Dead lips and cold teeth...... That's a good word!" Morani complimented, but said, "But the Kingdom of the Holy Angels and the Kingdom of the Eagle are mortal enemies, and they are not lip-to-tooth relations. ”
Sui Xiong frowned a few times, and finally sighed in annoyance.
This is really displeased!(To be continued.) )
