Chapter 25: The Impasse (I)

The war in the world has slowly fallen into a strange state. Vertex updates the fastest

On the frontal battlefield, in the face of the Great Wall defense line built by humans for many years, the orc army is helpless even with the assistance of divine magic.

The walls of the Great Wall are high and thick, and the entire body is reinforced with spells. Ordinary swords cut up, leaving only an inconspicuous mark, which will disappear after a while. These walls are not simply connected, but are uneven by the leylines of the earth. There are many twists and turns in the structure of the urn city, and if you want to rush into it along the road, you will fall into the urn city, and it will be attacked from several sides, and it is easy to destroy the whole army.

Therefore, to attack this line of defense, you must and can only rely on equipment such as ladders to climb the city wall.

However, when it comes to the level of siege equipment, the technology of the orcs is really a bit miserable. After so many years, they have not been able to invent something more powerful, it is really useless, the orcs themselves do not have the habit of building high walls, and they also do not have the habit of attacking cities. What's more, even in the face of the towering and steep city walls, there are not flying demonic beasts and mid-to-high-level powerhouses.

However, for the Great Wall defense line, flying demonic beasts are useless, and the powerhouses of the middle and high ranks are also useless.

Humans also have flying troops, and they are very numerous. Maybe the total number is not as large as the orcs, but at least it's enough for defense.

In terms of the number of strong men, the human side has an absolute advantage. In the last battle, the clash between the legendary powerhouses of the two sides ended with the defeat of the orcs. It's a pity that the battle dragged on for a long time, and in the end it was not able to have any decisive significance for the outcome of the battle.

At this point, the situation is exactly the opposite of the Flyers.

But if the Great Wall defense line is used as the battlefield, and the legendary powerhouses of both sides start a long battle, then the numerical disadvantage of the orc side will be revealed. At that time, I am afraid that the legendary powerhouses will have a lot of losses, and this is unacceptable to the orc emperor.

The loss of ordinary soldiers is not a problem for this kind of clan battle, but the number of legendary powerhouses is not much, and if you lose some more, the situation will be even more disadvantaged.

Since the legendary powerhouses can't fight, the orc side is naturally at an absolute disadvantage. If you want to attack the city, you can only fill it with human lives.

Do they have enough human lives?

Of course.

But the Orc Emperor did not intend to fill that terrifying line of defense with human lives.

"There's no need. In the evening at a military meeting, he said, "On the human side, there are more people than us, and food must be tighter than us." And they lack enough spellcasters, the treatment of the wounded, and the healing of the sick...... These are all losses. ”

"What's more, their logistical line is about to go wrong. There was a grim smile on the emperor's old face, "Tens of thousands of people are constantly destroying behind them, and there are even your majesty's divine envoys attacking the temple and altar, they won't last long!"

This is the result of the discussion of the staff committee, according to their estimates, the human side of the military food will probably last for another month or so, and after a month, millions of troops will face the dilemma of food shortage.

When the time comes, humanity will either take the initiative or retreat, and there will be no other choice.

Emperor Ilo was not worried about the safety of the mobile troops, they were not as isolated as the mobile troops of the Southern Legion of the Gold Federation, behind them were the great gods and a large number of oracles.

These oracles will provide them with sufficient information and support in a timely manner so that they can stay in good shape, and even with the help of the oracles in transporting supplies for them, they are not alone even if they are alone.

On the contrary, in practical terms, they may have lived more nourished and comfortable than the main army that was staring at the human army on the west side of the Great Wall's defense line.

After all, the enemy they have to face is not strong, it is nothing more than some militia or aristocratic private army. The elite forces of the human race have either been assembled on the Great Wall defense line or are holding various points along the supply lines, and it is impossible to draw enough troops to deal with them.

As for the issue of transferring a small number of strong men, what is the use of a few strong men in the face of tens of thousands of strong men and the strong ones who may be hidden in the army?

In fact, the human side can also mobilize several troops to encircle and suppress them, and with the advantage of troops, this is not impossible. But the orcs had a divine envoy to help collect intelligence, and they easily avoided the two encirclements and suppressions of the human army, and the second time they were even taken advantage of the opportunity to lay a trap and fight a beautiful counterattack.

As the days passed, the weather gradually warmed up, but the hearts of the commanders on both sides were cold.

What is cold is not despair or fear, but killing intent.

The human side has already suffered huge losses, and the previous losses in the positional warfare are not enough, and it is really a heavy loss to be harassed by the orc mobile forces in their hinterland during this time. At least 100 towns and villages have been reduced to rubble, and more than 100,000 civilians have become refugees and need help, and all this is just the beginning.

100,000 people is not much, but it is not so easy to provide food and shelter for an additional 100,000 people.

After repeated consideration, the human side could only choose to move these 100,000 people towards the Great Wall defense line. Only there can they get enough food and shelter.

As for the question of danger, if the army is defeated, then where is not dangerous?

On the orc side, the mobile unit was also a little tired after more than ten days of continuous combat. The most important thing is that the biggest goal of their trip has not been able to accomplish yet.

For the Orc Mobile Force, attacking the hinterland of humans and creating a large number of refugees is just a passing goal. Their main goal is to destroy the human supply lines. However, of course, the humans also expected this, and every stronghold along the entire supply line was heavily defended, almost all of them were fortresses, and they were heavily guarded, and the mobile units of the orcs were enough to attack noble castles or towns, but it was not enough to attack heavily guarded fortresses.

In this case, these orcs who went deep behind enemy lines couldn't help but get irritable.

According to tradition, at this time, they should have captured a large number of humans, forced these civilians to attack the fortress, and used their lives to drain the weapons and morale of the defenders of the fortress. It's brutal, it's vicious, it's very effective.

Not this time, however.

When the Orc Mobile Force held a military meeting in the evening to discuss the plan, they heard a roar from the sky.

The sturdy tents were torn to shreds, and the huge green jellyfish looked at them with their big, terrifying scarlet eyes.

Sui Xiong didn't say anything, but his attitude was already clear.
