Chapter 919 · Bloody Battle (Part 2)

About half an hour later, the orcs also deployed their reserve troops.

Although the battlefield was huge, it was still not enough for both sides, who had more than a million troops. Neither humans nor orcs could deploy all their troops to the front line at once.

Of course, the first troops to enter the battlefield must be the most elite troops, after all, everyone wants to be the first to gain the upper hand. But since the first wave failed to defeat the enemy, the battle had to be turned into a continuous positional war and a war of attrition.

It was like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood.

The orcs were not as well trained as humans. When their reserve troops stepped onto the battlefield and fought the exhausted vanguard troops and prepared to retreat, the humans also deployed a new reserve troops at the right time and strengthened the offensive on a large scale. In this way, the situation was immediately pulled back, so that the vanguard troops of the orcs had no time to withdraw.

The tired army that was ready to retreat had to turn around and fight with the troops that were recuperating. What would be the result?

In just a few minutes, the most elite vanguard of the orcs suffered heavy losses, and many of the famous legions were almost completely destroyed.

The orc emperor watched all this silently, and did not issue any orders, but only let the staff composed of veterans and counselors from various tribes who were familiar with military affairs discuss and decide on their own.

He knew that he was not a person who was good at thinking. Compared with the previous emperors, his strength was that he had served in the army for many years and had a great prestige. When it comes to fighting, he can only see the situation at best, and what to do in any situation is really beyond his ability.

Most of the famous orc generals are like this. When they fight, it is nothing more than "follow me", "charge with me", "retreat with me"... That's all. When it comes to charging in front and retreating in the back, they are indeed unambiguous, but when it comes to judging the situation and responding to changes, they are really not good.

The human side is certainly not much better, but the population advantage means the talent advantage. Of course, there will be many more talents that can be selected from 300 people than from 100 people. Not to mention that the education level of human society is generally high, and the success rate is also much higher.

So although the human commanders may be less brave than the orcs, their observation of the battle situation and grasp of the opportunity are much better than the orcs.

Just like now, the orcs did not urgently mobilize troops to support until the staff group made a decision. In the end, the vanguard troops that were able to withdraw successfully were less than one-third of the total number of participants, and it can almost be said that they were completely destroyed.

Reality is not playing games. If the loss of an army reaches about one-tenth, it can be re-entered after a rest; if it reaches one-third, it must be supplemented with new soldiers or reorganized; if it exceeds half, it not only needs to replenish troops and reorganize, but also needs a long time of recuperation to restore their fighting spirit; if the loss reaches two-thirds, it is almost the same as collapse, and they cannot even be dispersed and incorporated into other troops, because their low morale may affect others.

Such an army must return to the rear for a long time to recuperate, so that a stable life can heal the panic and pain in the hearts of the soldiers before they can return to the battlefield again.

Seeing those once-famous troops retreating to the rear in panic with faces full of fear, the orc emperor frowned and his face was as gloomy as water.

He knew that at least in this war, these troops had no chance of fighting a hard battle.

They were almost collapsed when they were attacked when they planned to retreat. The reason why they were able to fight hard and wait until the reinforcements arrived was due to the sacrifice of the elite soldiers in the army and the courage they temporarily mustered in desperate situations. Now that they are safe, their courage will naturally dissipate.

This is like many very brave soldiers on the battlefield, who will appear nervous after returning to the rear, afraid of this and that all day long, simply because the courage brought by danger has dissipated, and only panic is left.

The old emperor did not say anything, but stood silently under his royal flag, staring at the battlefield.

He didn't have many ideas about this war, it was nothing more than fighting with all his strength.

If you can win, it would be the best. If you can't win, then you will die on the battlefield and write a decent ending to your life of fighting.

As for whether he could win... he had no confidence at all.

The orc gods did not tell the mortals about their plan. Even the orc emperor, who had the highest status among the mortals, had just received the news that the great Lord God "The Sky-Swallowing Dog" had driven the orc kingdom "Endless Wilderness" to die together with the human kingdom "Glorious Plains".

According to the plan of the orc gods, this attack would definitely injure the human gods. What remained was to lead the gods of various tribes who came to fight the fallen dogs and unite to strangle the group of seriously injured human gods.

Of course, the beasts in desperate situations are the most ferocious. Especially for a top power like the Lord of Glory, even if He was seriously injured by the explosion of the kingdom of God, it is not so easy to deal with. So the orc gods also became ruthless this time. Even if they had to sacrifice all their high-end military forces, they had to kill the Lord of Glory.

Only by killing the Lord of Glory can this war really have a chance of victory.

Before that, all mortals have to do is to fight with all their might, taking advantage of the fact that human gods are temporarily unable to build channels of divine power because their kingdoms are destroyed, and weaken the combat effectiveness of the human side as much as possible.

It's like simple arithmetic, everyone is doing subtraction, and what is subtracted is nothing more than fresh lives.

As time goes by, the war situation gradually tilts towards an angle that is unfavorable to the human side.

The advantage of divine assistance is really too great!

Before the war, the soldiers of the orcs often put on a body of auxiliary spells. This makes them stronger, faster, and full of courage. Their weapons are sharper, their armor is stronger, and even when they are injured, they often get a certain degree of treatment and can fight longer.

In contrast, although the human soldiers are well armed and trained, their innate physique is far behind, and the gap brought by the auxiliary spells makes them often need several people to fight against one orc.

Some time before the war, the human spell casters can still use spells to provide assistance, but the amount of spells is limited. Soon their mana is exhausted, and even if they use the various props prepared before, they can't recover much. As a result, the gap in auxiliary spells is getting bigger and bigger, and the combat power of both sides is gradually divided.

Although the human soldiers were still brave and fought with all their might, their battle line was eventually pushed back, bit by bit, step by step.

Every step of the battle line was stained with blood, and later, the soldiers of both sides even stood directly in the pile of corpses to fight.

This bloody battle shocked and disturbed everyone.
