Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 27: ·War of Attrition (Part 1)


The weather is getting warmer.

The development of the war situation in the world is gradually becoming unfavorable to mankind.

Although the Great Wall defense line that has been heavily guarded for many years is still unbreakable, although all countries continue to provide materials and manpower, the Glory Kingdom, which has been constantly harassed, is gradually unable to hold it.

The ruling foundation of the Glory Kingdom is based on the priesthood system composed of a large number of temples and churches. This country can almost be regarded as a complete theocracy, and the government depends on the existence of theocracy. When the theocracy system was destroyed by orcs and gods’ envoys, their regime system was almost on the verge of collapse.

No matter how large a country’s population and resources are, once the political system collapses, it is tantamount to a mess.

Can a battle be fought with a plate of loose sand, can a big battle be fought?

Of course not.

Fortunately, there are many strong humans. Although the priesthood system can’t support it, it is always possible to rely on the strong to run around and maintain a basic transportation line.

But in this way, the lives of the refugees in the Kingdom of Glory have encountered major problems.

Their production tools were destroyed, their farmland was burned, and they didn’t even have stored grain, so they could only live on the support of the state. But now, the state system is on the verge of collapse, and they can no longer provide sufficient support.

In this case, it can almost be said to be “exhausted”.

If this continues, it won’t take long for the Kingdom of Glory to have a large-scale famine and a serious flood of refugees-this is what the orcs want to see.

However, at this time, Sui Xiong finally made a move.

He sent his envoy to the refugees and asked them if they would be willing to leave the war and switch to a neutral position.

If they still insist on fighting, Sui Xiong can’t help it. All he wants to help is refugees who don’t want to fight, not including potential fighters.

And if the refugees gave up fighting, Sui Xiong’s envoy would send them to the refugee camp he had prepared.

There are houses, water sources, and prepared food, as well as good fields and suitable farming tools to let the refugees pass the time.

Sui Xiong does not need refugees to do anything for him. His only requirement for these refugees is peace.

“When you decided to go to the refugee camp, the war that belonged to you was over.” The girl **** envoys in the wonderful armor warned, “You can get peace and tranquility, and you can get security in exchange. , You must give up the thought of fighting.”

This is a fair deal, Sui Xiong thinks.

“Your Majesty, you are so merciful!” Seeing the refugees being sent away one after another, his Conggod Woer couldn’t help but praised, “There are few deities that will rescue refugees on such a large scale.”

“If others don’t do it, I will do it. Anyway, I can do it.” Sui Xiong said flatly, “If I can do it, why don’t I do it?”

Walle smiled and nodded, watching the refugees who had given up the war leave in an endless stream.

Sui Xiong’s behavior has been praised and supported by the good gods, although some gods feel that he has not done thoroughly enough–for example, some gods think he should prevent the orc mobile forces from destroying the homes of the civilians in the Glory Kingdom— -But when Sui Xiong emphasized his “neutral” position, they had nothing to say.

Neutral is not necessarily unbiased, but at least it is not clear and eccentric to blow a black whistle. Sui Xiong has done enough to prevent the orc mobile unit from launching the massacre and to rescue those refugees who have given up the war. If we need to go further, I am afraid it will deviate from the neutral position.

The orcs don’t have much opinion on this. For them, it is already a great success to be able to bring down the Kingdom of Glory and oppress the logistics supply line of mankind. As for the defeat of mankind by a harassment force alone, even the orc emperor himself had no illusions.

In this world, the root of war lies in frontal fighting on the battlefield, and everything else is just assistance.

If the orcs can’t break through the defenses of the Great Wall, then wanting to defeat humans is always just empty talk.

It is definitely not an overnight effort to break through the Great Wall defense line.

In the past long years, the orcs have launched many attacks on this line of defense. In the end, apart from hitting their heads again and again, they didn’t get even the slightest gain, and they were never able to make a half-step eastward. Instead, mankind relied on this line of defense and opened up a large territory towards the West.

Relying on this war, they have completely retaken the land that mankind has developed for many years, and it is already a rare victory.

The most important thing is that the human situation has gradually become a little dangerous.

“The mobile unit reported that it successfully attacked the human supply line yesterday, but unfortunately it did not destroy much food.” At the meeting of the orc military base camp, a staff officer said with intelligence.

Such information, they have heard many times these days.

Since a large number of military rations were burned by orc mobile units several times before, humans have changed their minds. The mages of the Secret Tower Federation temporarily created a batch of space bags with huge capacity. These space bags have limited effects in reducing weight, but they do help a lot in reducing capacity. In the past, when the orcs attacked, a large number of military rations were piled on the truck, even if you want to hide it, you can’t find a place to hide ~ IndoMTL.com~ But now, as long as you buy a little time, the transport team can hide these space bags. Hard to find places. Unless the orc mobile force can completely annihilate the human transport team, there is no time to find them and destroy them.

As a result, the results of the orc maneuver forces dropped significantly. Unless they attack the fortresses that store food, there will be little chance of destroying large quantities of munitions.

If it hadn’t been for multiple attacks that killed and injured a large number of transport teams, so that the human transport capacity was greatly reduced, perhaps the mobile unit would have returned without success.

But in any case, the mobile unit is always useful. The collapse of the Kingdom of Glory and the increasing embarrassment of the human transportation line are all good evidence.

It’s just… the loss of the mobile unit itself is also quite alarming.

“They must have asked for additional manpower again, right?” Emperor Yiluo asked.

The staff officer nodded: “They said that the losses in this battle are not small, and they hope to replenish the elite troops as soon as possible.”

Emperor Yiluo sighed: “Then add, they will give everything they want–anyway, there is nothing to do if the army is stationed here. Although the fighting over there is a bit fierce, it is better than doing nothing. Good.”

He looked calm, not very moved.

For a veteran who has experienced many battles, the war is the loss of both sides. As long as the loss of the orcs is relatively low, it is acceptable.

It’s just…the delay in seeing the chance of a decisive victory made him a little irritated.

After the military meeting was over, Emperor Yiluo walked out of the camp and looked up at the sky.

The stars are as bright as ever.

“Gods in the sky, please find out the human gods as soon as possible and destroy them completely!”

The gray-haired orc emperor prayed silently.

“Only in that way can this war end soon!”
