Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 28: ·War of Attrition (Part 2)

War is cruel, and war is difficult, no matter which side it is.

The human side has been under tremendous pressure, so that the Glory Kingdom is on the verge of collapse, but the orcs are not much better.

Compared with humans, the production capacity of the orcs is worse, and in order to be able to support the frontal battlefield, they mobilize too many troops.

To the point that it has seriously affected the rear production.

The main business of the orcs is animal husbandry, followed by farming. From winter evening to early summer, the long-term confrontation between the two armies consumed a large amount of food, which has almost bottomed out the food reserves of the orc empire.

If this confrontation continues, the humans may be able to hold on for a while, but the orcs can't hold on for long.

Emperor Yiluo sighed secretly as he looked at the heavily guarded warehouse behind.

Though the ration depots are large, they don’t actually contain much rations. If this consumption trend has been maintained, it is estimated that in another month to one and a half months, the army will run out of food.

The backward farming and animal husbandry production and the scarce manpower have caused the rear production to not keep up. To get rid of the immediate crisis, you can only ask the gods for help.

But... if you ask the gods for help, it means you may violate the rules of the Lord of Order.

Neither the Yiluo Emperor nor the orcs nor the gods are willing to take this risk.

The current situation is the advantage of the orcs, so they are not willing to take risks. Taking risks or something is something the inferior party will do.

Just like when Le Feng, "the dog of swallowing sky", directly used the kingdom of God to knock down the kingdom of mankind without saying a word.

But...If you don't get help from the gods, this war on earth may be lost.

Emperor Yiluo frowned and was silent.

"Wait, wait." Finally, he said to himself, "At least, you can't bother the gods until you really can't help it!"

East of the Great Wall, inside the human barracks, the atmosphere is also very low.

Different from the orcs, who at least report good news frequently, humans have heard bad news after bad news during this period of time, and there is hardly any good news to hear.

This time there was an attack. This team and the transport team were attacked. Your Majesty still couldn't get in touch. The troops who tried to attack the orc army went down...All in all, there is no good news!

If you don't know the importance of this war, if you don't know that there is no way out, I'm afraid that many people will be tempted to go home.

At routine military meetings, the air pressure is so low that it seems to be raining.

"His Majesty the Void Mask took away another group of about 20,000 refugees today."

"Let’s pick up and pick up, at least it relieves us a lot of pressure."

"But various signs have appeared in many places, and many people are reluctant to fight this battle."

"Those stupid guys! Don't they understand that we are already standing on the cliff, except for gritting our teeth and climbing up to the top of the mountain, we will fall to death when we let go!"

"The people are stupid and the most direct. It is difficult for them to understand this kind of thing, and they can only see the immediate benefits."

"Damn it! We bleed and fight on the front line, as long as they work in the rear, they can't even do this kind of thing, they are simply useless!"

"... During this period of time, a large number of labor injuries have occurred everywhere, and there have been many injuries and even deaths due to the heavy labor burden. Here is a statistics--"

"Shut up! This kind of statistics is useless! What we want is victory, and it is worth paying for it!"

"...Yes."

"Why don't we try a large-scale attack again, the wizards have already prepared enough things to support a great war."

"The group of beasts are waiting for us to attack! Now the attack is in their arms! What we have to do is consume, grit our teeth and consume with them! No matter how much pressure we are here, their pressure will only be better than We are bigger! You have to understand that behind us are various countries, with abundant supplies and strong industrial and agricultural production. Behind the orcs is only the backward empire, and relying on grazing, it is impossible to have enough supplies for their army to consume!"

"But they have survived until now, maybe they can last for a long time..."

"No matter how long they can last, they will never be longer than us!" The leader of the human coalition, the king of the Glory Kingdom, is also the current high priest of the Church of the Glory Lord. Because of the previous assassin attack, only one remains. In the eyes, there was a sharp cold light, "We are now equal to two injured beasts, and everyone is bleeding. But they hurt more than us, and their bodies are not as strong as ours. If this wears down, victory will eventually belong. Us!"

After a long silence, a young nobleman asked: "But...the gods--"

He had just said half of his words, and his mouth was covered by the people around him.

The one-eyed king looked at them gloomily, making the person covering his mouth tremble.

After a long time, he said coldly: "The first military rule, enforce it!"

After finishing speaking, he ended this military meeting~IndoMTL.com~ After a while, there was a scream outside the meeting room, and then the head of the young nobleman was hung on the flagpole.

The first military rule prohibits mentioning things related to the war of gods, and offenders will be beheaded for publicity regardless of their status!

The one-eyed king sat in his study, silent, his face gloomy, and his eyes fierce.

He knows that everyone is under heavy pressure, but who is more stressed than him?

Those useless things!

Now is the time to consume, even if it is to eat people, it will last until the orcs can't consume them!

They worked hard. Your Majesty is also working hard now. Everyone is working hard, and the enemy is also working hard.

War is such a hard thing!

Without so much hard work, where is the victory!

The one-eyed king said nothing. He sat alone in the darkness for a long time, then walked out of the study and went to the prayer room.

In front of the altar, he knelt to the ground, praying devoutly.

"The Great Lord of Radiance, the leader and hope of our mankind, please guide me as always, give me courage and coldness, so that I can persevere, so that I can lead the weak who have developed cowardice and withdrawal. Guys, keep going!"

"We will definitely win and will never hold you back! Please fight the way you want, no matter what, we will stick to it. No matter what you need us to do, we will definitely Do it!"

"Your pious servant prays here, please be sure to win, and you must lead us to victory!"

"In order to win, no matter what is needed, we will offer it without hesitation!"

"All we want is victory!"

Outside the prayer room, the green jellyfish, invisible to the naked eye of mortals, stared at all this in silence, his face full of sorrow.
