Chapter 23 Bloody Battle (Part 2)

It was getting late.

The front of the human side has retreated again and again, retreating at least two or three miles.

These two or three miles of fronts are really full of land and blood. Every time humans take a step back, they have to sacrifice many soldiers. Every time they retreat, they often have to fill in several lives to avoid the collapse of the front.

Although the human commanders tried their best to seize every fighter as much as possible, the gap in strength could not be compensated by wisdom. Even if they tried their best, they still could not recover the defeat.

What they can do is nothing more than defeat without chaos as much as possible, and defeat without collapse.

Behind the human front, the goddess of virtue was as deep as water.

"Do we need to attack?" asked a powerful demigod.

The goddess shook her head and was silent for a long time before saying, "Retreat to the Great Wall defense line and let them attack the city!"

This is also one of the original tactics, but no one expected that the battle that everyone thought they could win easily ended up like this.

Fortunately, the Great Wall is still there.

With this line of defense that stretches across the eastern part of the northern land and divides the human kingdom from the orcs, even if the orcs have an advantage, they will not be able to win easily.

Even without the help of magic, humans can still consume the advantage of geographical advantage and number of people.

The gods did not fall, but there was only a problem with the connection between the human world. When the problem was eliminated, it was time for humans to counterattack in a full-scale manner!

At that time, the weakness of the tired orcs in terms of military strength will be completely exposed. With just one fierce attack, they will collapse on the whole line!

Before that, all human beings have to do is to endure hardships.

The night color cannot stop the battle between the two sides, nor has it delayed the retreat of human beings.

The orc emperor Ilo was still standing in the chariot. The night wind blew his long hair, and the lion mane's golden mane had turned gray because of its age, but the hair had not dried up yet, just like the enthusiasm and fighting spirit in his chest.

"Humans are retreating, they probably want to retreat to the Great Wall defense line." From the start of the war, he spoke for the first time, "If you want to make them shed more blood, you must launch a fierce attack now."

"We don't have enough strength to attack." A veteran of the staff team sighed. "Although the reserve team still has it, our soldiers need to rest now in consideration of the subsequent siege."

Yiluo nodded slightly. He was not good at military tactics, always respected the opinions of professionals, and followed the flow of good deeds.

At this moment, a young staff officer suddenly spoke and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!"

Such very unethical behavior will definitely be severely rebuked in the human kingdom, but there is no problem among the orcs. They do not care much about things like "qualification" or "rules".

Ilo looked at the other party with interest, and the first thing he noticed was the pair of fox ears. There was no doubt that this was a member of the Wilder family who had always been called "wisdom".

"Little Wilder, what advice do you have?" the emperor asked.

The young fox man was excited by the emperor's friendly attitude and his face turned red. He took twice deep breaths and said in a calm tone as possible: "I think we should send some mobile troops to destroy human logistics and supplies."

The emperor was stunned. Since the Civil War of the Gold Coin Federation, the notorious reputation of the "mobile force" has been known to everyone. After discussion, the countries of the mainland unanimously passed the treaty of "prohibiting the use of mobile forces to attack enemy logistics and civilians". Now Little Wilder suggests that the Orc Empire establish a mobile force is equivalent to unilaterally tearing up the treaty. It is quite embarrassing and despicable for the orcs who have always praised their credibility.

Emperor Yiluo was also a person who valued credit, so when he heard this suggestion, his first reaction was to be surprised and then he wanted to refuse.

However, he did not speak immediately, but looked at the other members of the staff.

As a monarch, he should refer to the opinions of his ministers before making a decision.

The members of the staff were shocked and angry at first, but then they all showed thoughts. After a while, several oldest veterans nodded and agreed.

"The treaty or something is meaningless now. This battle is a decisive battle between orcs and humans. The winner becomes the overlord, and the loser is likely to be driven out of the main plane. Since this is the case, of course any means can be used, and there is no need to worry about it anymore."

"Yes, keeping your credit is to get the neutral faction to support us. Now the entire main plane has been involved in this war, either a friendly party or an enemy, and there are any neutral factions there! Since there are no neutral factions, why should we tell them any credit again!"

"But be careful, you can't commit a massacre, otherwise you will anger His Majesty the Void Masque..."

"His Majesty of the Void has clearly declared that He will not care about anything other than massacres and refugees. As long as the mobile troops cannot do fire, He will not intervene."

"How can it be considered a fire?"

"This... let's discuss it carefully..."

Emperor Yiluo nodded and asked the staff to discuss the issue.

But before the staff began to discuss this issue, it made suggestions.

"Your Majesty, since we plan to send mobile troops to harass the rear and supply lines of humanity, we don't have to consider the issue of siege." The oldest veteran said, "Then there is no need to rest for the reserve team. Keep on attacking fiercely. Taking advantage of the advantage now, we can kill more, and kill more!"

Emperor Yiluo naturally accepted his opinion, so the order was conveyed.

This order came with a more violent fight and more bloodshed than during the day.

After a day of fighting, both sides were tired. Even the reserve team that could rest during the day would be difficult to rest well in this environment, so they were in a bad condition. However, the orcs could use large-scale magic to make the soldiers recover quickly, but the human side that had exhausted their mana could not do it.

What's worse is that the orcs generally have dim vision or even dark vision, and the night does not hinder their sight. However, humans cannot do it. Even with torches and fires, the sight of most human soldiers is greatly hindered, which makes it difficult for them to see the enemy clearly, the attacks are difficult to hit, and it is even more difficult to avoid the enemy's attacks.

So on this night, humans suffered extremely heavy losses. By dawn, with the sharp retreat of the front, the losses of human soldiers also shocked the commanders.

Of course, during this night, humans also successfully fought several counterattacks based on some arrangements originally located in the camp, consuming a large amount of orcs' troops. However, from the overall statistics, in this short night, the exchange ratio between orcs and humans had exceeded one to five. In other words, on average, the fall of each orc soldier will be accompanied by the fall of at least five human soldiers.

Not only that, the seriously injured soldiers of the orcs can save their lives under divine treatment, and even recover as soon as possible. However, the human side cannot do it. They can only rely on pre-prepared healing potions and other things to rescue. The effect of the potions is very limited after all, which makes it almost impossible for their seriously injured to be saved. If we consider this factor, the ratio of the battle losses of both sides this night was probably even more than one to ten!
