Chapter 107
In the Pantheon, the atmosphere has been very tense during this period.
In the second row, second only to the Lord of Order, Lord of Glory used unimaginable magical powers and moved his seat next to the Dog of Swallowing Heaven. He didn't speak, but just sat quietly and waited silently.
But the Sky-Swallowing Dog did not appear. Not only this orc god, but also the entire orc god, did not appear during this period.
The Lord of Glory had not expressed any opinion on this matter, He just sneered and waited patiently.
The Orc Gods want to expand their power through wars on earth, which is a common routine for gods. Whether human gods or orc gods believe in gods, if the people who believe in them decrease, their power will also be weakened, and there are examples of descending levels or even falling.
But... the war between the orcs and humans has lasted for so many years, and it has never been possible to win or lose. Such situations as the orc empire mobilization have also happened in history. Although they fought extremely fiercely every time, they have never really defeated the defensive situation of various human countries. Is this an exception?
The gods of the Pantheon waited for several days, and finally, the fire element god "King of Flame", who had a good relationship with Lord of Light, finally couldn't help but ask him about this human war.
The Lord of Glory did not play the "Silence is Golden". He sneered and said, "For a long time, the group of dirty wild beasts occupied a vast and fertile field. They grew casually like mosquitoes on it, performing various ugly things. Not only that, they always turned their attention to the areas where humans were thriving, trying to spread the ugly ecology like a plague. Invasions like this happen every time, it is no big deal."
"Is that all?" asked the King of Flame.
"It's basically it." The Lord of Glory replied confidently, "We humans never reject any friends, nor are we afraid of any enemies. We welcome friends with fine wine, food, singing and dancing, and defeat the enemies with swords and magic. They want to fight? Then fight. Humans are not afraid of war!"
Such an answer obviously cannot satisfy the King of Flame, so He asked the Lord of Light if there was any specific strategy to fight against him, but the Lord of Light refused to answer H He said that this was a military secret and was not suitable for discussion in public. If you are interested, you can ask privately.
After a while, the King of Flame found the God of War and asked the main god of the War God about his views on the war.
"View? You know, I like war!" The old-fashioned God of War smiled, but there was no slight sense of kindness and kindness in his smile, but was full of viciousness and bloodthirst. "Whether it is attacking or retreating, invading or guarding, whether it is sweeping or raiding... as long as it is war, I like it!"
"I like to see countless people fighting for their interests or ideals or beliefs. Why doesn't it matter, as long as they fight."
"I like to see their blood flowing all over the ground, I like to see the winners cheering in pools of blood, see the losers wailing in pools of blood, see the dead struggling in pools of blood, see the rudes slaughtering in pools of blood, see the swift people chasing in pools of blood... Iron and blood, the smell of war is so charming! It's better for whoever attacks, fights for whoever, and whoever laughs and crys... It doesn't matter, I just like the war itself, and I like the various scenes in war."
"When countless creatures shout, roar, cry and whine, and when they use all their strength to fight and fight for less than half of the chance of survival, I always look at them in the sky with ecstasy and beautiful scenery."
"You ask me what I think about this war? My opinion is, good! Very good! Very good! I love this war!"
The King of Flames was silent for a moment and asked, "I mean, who is more beneficial to the outcome of this war? What is your opinion on the outcome? "
"What will happen to the mortals who can only live for decades? I have no interest at all." The God of War smiled indifferently, "My power comes from the war itself. What I care about is whether there is any war in the world, whether the war breaks out enough, whether it breaks fierce enough. I have no interest in anything other than that!"
"... Then you always have a comment on the combat effectiveness of both sides, right?" King of Flame sighed, "Just give me some face and talk about the issues of victory or defeat."
The God of War smiled and touched his beard that was harder than the steel needle with his hand, saying: "The orcs have reproduced very well in recent years, and the young and strong population has increased a lot. So they will definitely consume a part of it through war. On the one hand, they are used to screen and eliminate those who are weak or have poor luck. On the other hand, they are also to reduce food consumption and reduce population pressure. So from this perspective, the orcs should not care much about victory."
The gods nodded slightly, feeling that He was saying very reasonably.
"But not caring about victory does not mean that victory cannot be achieved. As I said before, orcs have reproduced very well in recent years, which makes their war soldiers surprisingly high. The purpose of their war is fundamentally just to consume the population... Then their fighting style must be quite fierce, and it is probably difficult for humans to withstand it."
The gods were silent for a while, and the Knight God couldn't help asking: "So what do you think should humans do to improve their chances of winning?"
The God of War laughed: "So what if you win? Humans are already abandoning their faith in you. Look at the world, how many of your temples are left? How many believers are there? How many people are there to follow your philosophy? Whoever wins and loses, what does it have to do with you!"
"It's related." The God of Knight said calmly, "Even if I will die tomorrow, I will continue to pay attention to and protect humanity today. Even if I want to die next moment, at least I am still alive at this moment. When I am alive, I will fulfill my oath to myself."
After a while, the God of War shook his head and sighed, "Humans will definitely suffer losses, it's just a big loss. If human countries can unite and march from the east and south at the same time, then the orcs may not have much advantage in fighting on both sides. But you and I know that this is impossible."
As He said, to the east of the Orc Empire is the Kingdom of Holy Angels and to the south is the Kingdom of Eagle. The two countries are feudals. They have been fighting in the Great Plains area in the eastern part of the mainland, competing for the fertile land. If these two countries can put down their hatred hands and go abroad, no one believes it.
Not to mention, the Holy Angel Kingdom takes the belief in the Sun God as its national religion and does not buy the accounts of the human gods. The Eagle Kingdom is a key area for the belief in the human gods, and there are even many gods in the country. Even from the perspective of faith, the Holy Angel Kingdom does not have the possibility of helping the Eagle Kingdom.
"...Why did the orcs attack the Eagle Kingdom instead of the Holy Angel Kingdom?" At the high-level meeting of the Void Mask Church, Sui Xiong looked at the map and said with wonder, "Aren't they now strong soldiers and strong people? Then, can they fight eastward and use the vast terrain to expand large troops, can they gain an advantage?"
As he said, the area bordering the Orc Empire and the Holy Angel Kingdom is a vast hilly area, where a huge formation can be fully developed, enough to exert the orcs' military strength advantages as much as possible. The area bordering the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom is a narrow valley between the Graystone Mountains and the Giant Beast Mountains, and there are also fortresses built by the Eagle Kingdom for a long time, with layers of defense. If you want to fight in such a place, what you need is not quantity but quality. Even if there are many orcs, there are not many who can invest in the battlefield at once, so how can you get a advantage?
"It is probably for political and faith considerations." Speaking of war, there are not many people who really have vision in the top leaders of the Void Mask Church, and Leon Igor, the former prince of the Eagle Kingdom, could talk freely. "It is true that as your Majesty, you said, from a military perspective, it is most advantageous for the orcs to fight eastward. But if you fight eastward, the Eagle Kingdom is likely to attack under the oracles of the human gods and cooperate with the two sides of the Holy Angel Kingdom. After all, the Holy Angel Kingdom is also a human country. Even if they do not believe in the human gods very much, the human gods should protect them from their clergy."
"Then is there no such problem when fighting the Eagle Kingdom?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Well, the main belief in the Holy Angel Kingdom is the Lord of Light (Sun God). He is one of the leaders of the natural god system. His relationship with the Lord of Light is not good. He has been working hard to weaken the faith of the human gods in China. In this case, he will not let the Kingdom of Holy Angels cooperate with the Orc Empire to fight, so he is already grateful. I hope that He will bring down the oracle kingdom and let the Kingdom of Holy Angels help the Kingdom of Eagle? It is impossible."
Sui Xiong thought for a while, shook his head and sighed.
"A group of guys who are not divided by weight!" "...It's not that they don't matter whether they are divided by weight, but that they care about different things." In the world that Sui Xiong has been named "Holy Light Sanctuary", all the gods with good relationships gathered together to discuss the issue of this war. When Sui Xiong lamented that the Sun God was not divided by weight, Viere explained, "For the Lord of Light, the life and death of those humans who do not believe in Him are completely unworthy of attention. After this war, the orcs have consumed a large population, they should be stable for a long time, and the Holy Angel Kingdom does not have to worry about anything. It is natural that they do not send troops to help the Eagle Kingdom."
"Don't they know the reason why they lose their lips and teeth are cold?"
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold... This word is well used!" Morani praised, but said, "But the Kingdom of the Holy Angels and the Kingdom of the Eagle are actually mortal enemies. They are not a relationship between lips and teeth."
Sui Xiong frowned several times, and finally sighed in annoyance.
