Sui Xiong has said before that in this war, he is neutral and will not help the two sides.
But neutrality does not mean doing nothing. He said that he would lend a helping hand to refugees in desperate situations, and at the same time set a rule for both parties involved in the war: no massacres.
As for the former, he has never seen refugees who are truly in dire straits until now - despite the fact that the orc mobile troops have destroyed towns and villages one after another, leaving more than 100,000 people in a miserable situation without food and clothing. But human beings' reserves are completely sufficient to deal with this kind of problem, and there is no need for Sui Xiong to do anything.
If the human rulers ignore the lives of these refugees and abandon them, Sui Xiong will pick them up and take away the heads of those rulers - forget about the part below the head, just keep it in the coffin.
As for the rule of "no massacres", no one has dared to violate it until now, but this does not mean that Sui Xiong has forgotten it.
On the contrary, he actually cared about this matter very much and was always careful and vigilant.
Driving refugees to attack a city is certainly a type of massacre. So when the commanders of the Orc Mobile Force discussed this plan, Sui Xiong immediately came forward and issued a serious warning to them.
His warning was effective, and the orc commanders immediately understood what he meant and abandoned what would have been an effective plan.
It's not okay not to give up. Being stared at by a powerful god who is obviously in a bad mood with a look that can almost kill, who dares to say "don't give up"
Maybe there really were tough guys like that in the world, but obviously, they had all died long ago and had no chance to pass on their precious bloodline.
So anyway, this time, Sui Xiong didn't meet anyone who dared to question.
He snorted coldly, and his figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a group of officers who looked at each other with cold sweat soaking the clothes on their backs.
Since the method of driving away the refugees and attacking the city failed, there was only one other way to think of.
Hard dry.
In terms of military strength, the orcs' mobile troops numbered tens of thousands anyway, all of them elite, and there were many strong ones among them. As long as you find the right opportunity, it is actually not difficult to cut off the human supply line.
Although human fortresses are strong, food must always be transported. Transporting food naturally requires transporting it out, truck by truck, to the next fortress.
This road for transporting food is the most suitable battlefield.
However, if the orcs can think of it, humans can certainly think of it too. They mobilized a powerful and elite force to escort the food, and the number was more than twice that of the orc mobile force.
Facing such an army, the orcs did not dare to attack rashly.
But they couldn't just watch as food was transported to the front line to provide support for the Great Wall of Humanity.
In this case, they naturally choose to seek help from the gods.
Including the orcs, the gods of all races have been searching for traces of human gods for almost half a month.
They searched all the places they could, but could never find the whereabouts of the human gods. It was as if this huge group of gods had completely disappeared and had all fallen.
However, everyone knows that not all human gods have fallen.
In the Pantheon, although none of them showed up, nearly half of their seats were still there. Especially among the gods with medium divine power and stronger powers, not even one of them had died.
However, judging from the intelligence gathered by spies lurking in human society, it is obvious that the human gods have not been able to restore contact with the priests, and their priests have not been able to restore their ability to cast spells.
More importantly, the coalition of divine envoys composed of various gods has successively destroyed thousands of altars and temples of human gods during this period. Except for a few large temples with particularly tight defenses, human beings The sanctuaries of the gods were almost destroyed.
And their clergymen also suffered heavy losses. Many of the churches on the surface of the gods have been almost completely wiped out. Not even a temple or altar is left. Only some clergymen who were lucky enough to escape can still build temporary ones. Altars—Of course, these altars are built in military camps. Only altars located in military camps do not have to worry about attacks by the gods' envoys.
Gods and divine envoys cannot directly attack the army. This is a rule set by the Lord of Order after the battle of "The Day the Sun Dies".
After all, be it gods or divine envoys, their power is too strong compared to mortals. If they could directly attack the army, they would definitely cause extremely serious damage.
The Lord of Order obviously didn't want to see this kind of scene, so he set that rule.
This rule is obviously beneficial to humans, but even the orcs have no objections.
Rules are rules. What is good for humans now may not be good for orcs in the future. What's more... no matter what, the orcs have the upper hand now.
Since you have the advantage, don't worry so much about other things.
The main consideration of the orc gods is to find and destroy the human gods.
Only by destroying the human gods can this war be called a victory.
But where are the human gods
No one knows.
All we can do is continue to search.
In this case, when the orc mobile troops requested the help of the divine envoys, the orc gods sent the divine envoys to them without much hesitation.
What these envoys have to do is to cooperate with the orc mobile troops to attack human transport teams.
Of course they would not take action directly, as that would violate the order of the Lord of Order. But they can create favorable terrain and suitable weather, and can also provide constant help to the orc soldiers before and during the battle.
With these advantages, the orc mobile troops dared to attack the human transport team despite their backward strength.
That attack took place in the early morning, around three o'clock.
At the end of winter, this time is cold and dark, which is when people are most tired. Although the human transport team was prepared every day, when the orcs, with the powerful assistance provided by the divine magic, roared and rushed over with an overwhelming force, and went straight to the tents storing food in the camp, they still I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Some soldiers hurriedly stood up to fight, others felt that they should protect the food and grass, and some were completely panicked, not knowing what to do.
In this chaos, the orc mobile troops successfully burned a large amount of food and grass and walked away, leaving behind blazing fires and corpses scattered on the ground.
Among these corpses were humans and orcs.
Fortunately, they were not able to destroy all the food and grass, and after receiving the news, the Human Great Wall Defense Line quickly sent reinforcements to strengthen the defense of the transportation team.
In the end, less than one-third of the originally planned grain and fodder was delivered to the Great Wall defense line in time.
Looking at these grains and fodder, the commanders of the Great Wall defense line had sinking faces.
And after receiving the news, the orc emperor's face was equally ugly.
They all know that this war is probably far from over yet...
