Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 159:
Because of witnessing the battlefield with his own eyes, Sui Xiong dispelled the idea of stealing the three eagles for research. All night, he floated above the battlefield, thinking alone.
Born in an era of peace and tranquility, growing up in a stable and peaceful society, for him at the beginning, the cruelest and most terrifying thing in the world was probably a certain love-lost neuropathy who took a machete and went to the streets. Many people were chopped up and killed on the spot. He was eating spicy rice noodles in a nearby shop. In surprise, he sent the rice noodles covered with spicy oil into his nostrils, and he remembered deeply.
Of course, he has also seen a lot of terrorist reports, such as terrorist attacks that endanger the public in such and such areas, such as wars and famines in such and such areas, such as earthquakes and tsunamis in such and such areas... But, after all, those are all It was viewed across the media layer of television, computer, newspaper, and lacked realism.
Born and raised in a peaceful world, he developed his gentle and soft character. He is willing to negotiate with others to solve the problem, is willing to share the benefits with everyone, is willing to share the benefits, is willing to compromise and give in appropriately...
However, this also makes him react fiercely in the face of evil actions that are beyond the limit of his ability to compromise and retreat. When he is confronted with cruelty beyond his ability, he will suffer a very heavy blow.
And the cruel scenes he has seen in his life are the best in this moment.
It's not that he's never fought, it's not that he's never fought. For example, when I was in the abyss, I didn't know how many demons were killed. Even not long ago, he participated in the war to attack Cloud City and fought a large number of angels and envoys. He didn't know how many he killed. But no matter whether it is a demon or an angel, there is no **** tragic feeling when being killed. Only the explosion effect of light and shadow in the game is similar to that of the game. For experienced players, this kind of battle is really difficult to make him. There is enough realism, but it is like an intense and difficult virtual game.
In fact, until now, Sui Xiong often imagined that maybe he was just having a dream that was too long and absurd. After the dream woke up, he returned to real life, returned to his dormitory, and continued to look at the warehouse and paint. Illustration and the life of playing games.
This may be regarded as an escape from reality. He really can't accept the chaotic reality of this world.
But at this moment, the scene of countless humans and humanoid corpses all over the field finally made him no longer able to escape reality. He had to look directly at this **** battlefield and this cruel world.
As an artist, Sui Xiong is a perceptual person. He is not good at careful analysis and thinking, but he is good at understanding and feeling others.
At this moment, he can deeply feel the pain and despair of the dead, the sorrow and sorrow of the living, the tragic destruction brought by the war, and the disaster that will last for a long time...
He just floated motionless over the battlefield, watching the busy people at his feet, gathering the corpses day by day and handling them separately. The corpses of the nobles and knights with more status will be frozen and waiting to be returned to their cemetery; the lower-ranking officers and adventurers who have a little status but not high enough, the corpses are burned to ashes, and their ashes are packed in one In a small jar, they were given to their families along with their relics; as for ordinary soldiers, the bodies were collected and burned, and then the ashes were buried collectively. In the end, what they left was only a name on the "death list" of the army clerks. That's it.
Compared with the more civilized Eagle Kingdom, the approach of the Orc Empire is more rugged and ruthless. The corpses of the famous powerful men will be found and transported back to their hometowns together with the relics, because this can be used as a material for blood inheritance to their children or clansmen; ordinary soldiers burned directly, and the ashes drifted with the wind, even The burial is saved. As for the clerks, they only record how many deaths a certain tribe or tribe has died, and they don’t even bother to remember their names.
Sui Xiong stayed over the battlefield for a month, watching the two sides quietly cleaning up, sending envoys to negotiate, and handing over the prisoners. When the weather was almost cold to the extreme in late January, the last army of the two sides to stay here was also stationed here. Each left, and there was only a vast expanse of white snow on the land that was once a **** battle, covering up all traces.
At this time, the results of both deaths and injuries have also been counted.
On the human side, the army directly under the Eagle Kingdom originally had about 400,000 people. Nearly 200,000 people died in battle, disease, and serious injuries. There were about 20,000 minor injuries, and about 50,000 people who fled in disintegration; recruited? There were originally more than 4,000 people at risk, and more than 2,000 died. The number of minor and serious injuries was almost the same, and very few were intact. There were about 50,000 volunteers and knights from various countries who came to help out, and nearly 45,000 were killed in battle. Few of the remaining five thousand can still retain combat effectiveness, and the casualties are the most tragic.
The orcs here are more general. The total force invested in the decisive battle is about 650,000, and almost 350,000 died on the battlefield. Later, because of the shaman’s insufficient healing ability, he was injured, sick, died, and fleeed. There are close to one hundred thousand. However, the orcs actually counted another figure-the elite troops lost about 150,000, and the other losses were about 300,000.
In general, the two sides have invested more than one million troops, and there are even true gods leading the army of gods to participate in the war. In the end, the earliest guardian **** of mankind, the **** of knights with a high reputation, fell. The envoys and believers died and injured countless, and the deaths and injuries of the mortals on both sides totaled more than 750,000!
Such a tragic war has rarely happened in the past. Even in the legendary battle between humans and orcs, although the number of mobilized troops exceeded this number, the casualties were much less than this-that time, the two sides mobilized more than 1.5 million troops, but the deaths and injuries eventually added up. It was only about 300,000, not even half of this time.
The reason why the deaths and injuries in this battle was so tragic was that the two sides invested in the gods' troops and several crazy dogfights. The legendary army of divine envoys is extremely effective in killing mortals. With the help of super-large-scale auxiliary divine art, the mortals who are usually disintegrated after being slaughtered mustered unimaginable courage and launched madness. The battle, regardless of physical strength, and casualties, not only caused an astonishing number of deaths and injuries, but also caused a large number of deaths due to injuries and illnesses after the war.
Especially, the human army once broke through the orc front, and carried out a complete slaughter of the low-powered auxiliary soldiers behind the orc army. It was almost like cutting wheat with a huge sickle, countless auxiliary soldiers died in pieces, and the blood even converged into a small lake at one time. The price is that almost no one of the few troops that humans launched assaults can come back alive, and almost all of the warriors have died in the orc positions.
And in the canine teeth melee, the situation is reversed. Although the few elite troops of the orcs were almost completely wiped out, before they were wiped out, they brought together several times their own humans to Huangquan.
The serious consequences caused by such casualties will slowly manifest in the future.
The total population of the Eagle Kingdom is about 5 million, but the Griffin Duke in the east is basically semi-independent. Although the area is small, the land is very fertile and feeds almost a million people. In this battle, the Griffin Duke only sent an army of more than 3,000 people to help out. This army was very slippery, always maintaining a relatively safe position on the battlefield, and the loss was minimal.
With a population of four million and mobilizing an army of four hundred thousand, this has almost exhausted the wealth of the Eagle Kingdom. The direct loss of 200,000, the injury and the flight of 70,000, almost means that the entire army has lost nearly 70%, and on average, more than one-fifteenth of the population of 5 million has been lost. For those areas where there are fewer troops, maybe it’s just a village where five people joined the army, and finally three came back. But for those areas where there are more troops, there are really cries in every household, there are dead in every household, and every territory is at the same time. Many funerals were held, and many orphans and widows were added to each village.
The orc empire has not counted the exact population. It should be between 12 million and 15 million. However, many of the tribes have violated the emperor’s orders, and they are truly **** royalists. It should be only 60 to 70%, that is, seven hundred to ten million.
Take a more optimistic middle number. Assuming that His Majesty the Emperor can mobilize an army among 9 million people, among which, regardless of the auxiliary soldiers, the elite troops will not exceed 300,000, and one hundred thousand will die at once, which is severely shaken. The reign of His Majesty the Emperor. Not to mention that the loss of 300,000 auxiliary troops may not directly damage the emperor's rule, but it will have a lot of bad effects on the people.
For the orc empire, this means that many once powerful tribes are now weakened, and many tribes that are not powerful will be annexed, and there will be civil strife and fighting, and it is not known how much more blood will be shed.
At the same time, people must not forget those knights, armies, and adventurers who did not belong to the Eagle Kingdom and supported them for profit, faith, or the king’s orders. Their losses were also extremely tragic. The elite followers of the Knight God almost died and wounded on the entire main plane ~ IndoMTL.com~ and only about one-fifth of the volunteers were able to return to their hometown alive. Even the adventurers who had relatively little loss died a full half...
This is war, a war that is so tragic that it is unimaginable.
Before this war broke out, many people had guessed that both sides would win, and there were many guesses that everyone had a tie, but even the craziest and most pessimistic people did not expect that both sides would fight. It's so miserable, it's like a nightmare!
This crazy and tragic battle even moved the goddess of war and the goddess of death. Although he has always been keen to make both sides of the war die more tragically, and even planned a massacre together with the **** of hunting and slaughter, in the face of a super scene of a million people, more than 70% of the deaths and injuries, this cruel And the evil deity couldn't help but back down. As a result, his followers who were supposed to eulogize this war have lost their voices.
Regardless of the scale of the war or the number of deaths and injuries on both sides, this battle called the "Day of Sun Extinction" by later generations is so frightening that even the gods tremble.
If we talk about the influence on later generations, perhaps compared to the battle of the gods of the human gods to annihilate the sun gods, this battle on earth is more profound...
