Chapter 924 · War of Attrition (Part 1)

The weather is getting hotter.

The development of the war situation in the world is gradually becoming unfavorable to mankind.

Although the Great Wall defense line built for many years and heavily guarded by troops is still unbreakable, and although all countries are still providing supplies and manpower, the Kingdom of Glory, which is constantly being harassed, is gradually unable to hold on.

The basis of the rule of the Kingdom of Glory is the clergy system composed of a large number of temples and churches. This country is almost a complete theocracy, and its political power relies on theocracy. When the theocratic system was destroyed to pieces by the envoys of the orc gods, their political system was almost on the verge of collapse.

No matter how populous and resource-rich a country is, once its political system collapses, it will be in disarray.

Can a war be fought with a piece of loose sand? Can a big war be fought?

Of course not.

Fortunately, there are many strong people on the human side. Although the priest system cannot hold on, it is still possible to rely on strong people running around to maintain a basic transportation line.

But as a result, the lives of the refugees in the Kingdom of Glory have encountered big problems.

Their production tools were destroyed, their farmland was burned, and they didn't even have any stored food. They had to rely on state support to survive. But now, the national system is on the verge of collapse and can no longer provide them with adequate support.

In this situation, it can almost be said that the situation is “at the end of the road.”

If this continues, it won't be long before a large-scale famine occurs in the Kingdom of Glory and a serious refugee wave breaks out - this is exactly what the orcs want to see.

However, at this time, Sui Xiong finally took action.

He sent his own messengers to the refugees and asked them if they were willing to leave the war and move to a neutral position.

If they still insist on fighting, then Sui Xiong has nothing to do. All he has to help are refugees who don't want to fight, not including potential fighters.

And if the refugees give up the fight, Sui Xiong's envoy will send them to the refugee camp he has prepared.

There are houses there, water sources, prepared food, good fields and suitable agricultural tools for the refugees to pass the time.

Sui Xiong does not need the refugees to do anything for him. His only request for these refugees is peace.

"When you decide to go to the refugee camp, your war is over." The girl angels wearing magical armor warned, "You can get peace and tranquility, and you can get safety guarantee. In exchange, you must Give up the idea of ​​fighting.”

This is a very fair deal, Sui Xiong thought.

"Your Majesty, you are so merciful!" Seeing the refugees being sent away one after another, his disciple Wole couldn't help but praise, "Few gods would rescue refugees on such a large scale."

"I will do it if others don't do it, but I can do it anyway." Sui Xiong said lightly, "Since I can do it, why don't I do it?"

Wall smiled and nodded, watching the refugees who had given up the war leave in an endless stream.

Sui Xiong's actions have been unanimously praised and supported by the good gods. Although some gods think that he has not done enough - for example, some gods think that he should prevent the orc mobile troops from destroying the homes of the civilians of the Kingdom of Glory - but when After Sui Xiong emphasized his "neutral" stance, they had nothing to say.

Neutrality does not necessarily mean impartiality, but at least it cannot blatantly be biased. Sui Xiong had done enough to stop the massacre by the orc mobile troops and to rescue the refugees who had given up the war. If it goes further, it may deviate from a neutral position.

The orcs don't have much objection to this. For them, being able to bring down the Kingdom of Glory and suppress the human logistics supply line is already a great success. As for defeating humans with just one raiding force, not even the orc emperor himself had any illusions.

In this world, the foundation of war still lies in frontal fighting on the battlefield, and everything else is just an auxiliary.

If the orcs cannot break through the Great Wall defense line, then trying to defeat humans will always be just empty talk.

And if you want to break through the Great Wall defense line, it will definitely not be achieved overnight.

In the past long years, the orcs have launched many attacks on this line of defense. In the end, apart from being bruised and bloody, there was not even the slightest gain, and they were never able to take half a step east. Instead, relying on this line of defense, humans opened up a large territory towards the west.

With this war, they have completely recaptured the land that humans have developed for many years, which is considered a rare victory.

The most important thing is that the human situation has gradually become dangerous.

"The mobile unit reported that it successfully attacked the human supply line yesterday. Unfortunately, it was not able to destroy much food." At the meeting at the orc military base camp, a staff officer said with the intelligence.

They have heard this kind of information many times in the past few days.

Since the orcs’ mobile forces burned a large amount of military rations several times before, humans changed their thinking. The mages of the Secret Tower Federation temporarily created a batch of space bags with huge capacity. These space bags have limited effect in reducing weight, but they really help a lot in reducing capacity. In the past, when the orcs attacked, a large amount of military rations were piled on the car, and there was no place to hide them even if they wanted to. But now, as long as they buy a little time, the transport team can hide these space bags in a place that is difficult to find. Unless the orcs’ mobile forces can completely annihilate the human transport team, there is no time to find them and destroy them.

In this way, the results of the orcs’ mobile forces have obviously declined. Unless they attack the fortresses that store food, they can hardly find an opportunity to destroy a large amount of military rations.

If it weren’t for the repeated attacks that killed a large number of transport teams, so that the human transportation capacity was greatly reduced, perhaps the mobile forces would have returned without success.

But in any case, the mobile forces are always useful. The collapse of the Kingdom of Light and the increasingly difficult transportation lines of humans are good evidence.

It's just that... the losses of the mobile force itself are also quite shocking.

"They must have asked for more manpower, right?" Emperor Yiluo asked.

The staff nodded: "They said that the losses in this battle were not small, and they hope to replenish the elite troops as soon as possible."

Emperor Yiluo sighed: "Then replenish them, give them everything they want - anyway, there is nothing to do with the army stationed here. Although the battle over there is a bit tragic, it is better than doing nothing."

He looked indifferent and was not very moved.

For veterans who have experienced many battles, war is a battle between the two sides. As long as the losses on the orc side are relatively low, it is acceptable.

It's just... he hasn't seen a chance to win, which makes him a little irritable.

After the military meeting, Emperor Yiluo walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky.

The stars were shining, as before.

"Gods in the sky, please find the gods of mankind as soon as possible and completely destroy them!"

The white-haired orc emperor prayed silently.

"Only in this way can this war end soon!"
