War is cruel, war is difficult, no matter which side it is.
Although the human side has been under tremendous pressure, so much so that the Kingdom of Glory is on the verge of collapse, the orcs are not much better.
Compared with humans, the production capacity of orcs is worse, and in order to support the frontal battlefield, they mobilize too many troops.
There are so many that they have seriously affected rear production.
The main occupation of the orcs is animal husbandry, followed by farming. From the end of winter to the beginning of summer, the long-term confrontation between the two armies consumed a large amount of food, and the food reserves of the Orc Empire had almost reached the bottom.
If the confrontation continues like this, the humans may be able to hold on for a while, but the orcs can no longer hold on for long.
Emperor Yiluo looked at the heavily guarded warehouse at the rear and sighed secretly in his heart.
Although those military ration warehouses are large, there are actually not many military rations in them. If this consumption trend continues, it is estimated that the army will run out of food in another month to one and a half months.
The backward agricultural and animal husbandry production and scarce manpower mean that the production in the rear cannot keep up. To get rid of the immediate crisis, the only way is to ask the gods for help.
But... asking the gods for help means that you may violate the rules of the Lord of Order.
Neither Emperor Yiluo nor the orc gods are willing to take this risk.
The current situation is that the orcs have the advantage, so they are unwilling to take risks. Taking risks is something only the disadvantaged party would do.
Just like the "Sky-Swallowing Dog" Le Font used the Kingdom of God to knock out the human Kingdom of God without saying a word.
But... if we don't get help from the gods, this war in the world may be lost.
Emperor Yiluo frowned and remained silent.
"Wait, wait." Finally, he said to himself, "At least, don't bother the gods until there is really no other way!"
East of the Great Wall, the atmosphere in the human military camp was also very gloomy.
Unlike the orcs, who at least had good news coming out frequently, the humans had bad news after bad news during this period, and there was almost no good news at all.
This time, there was an attack. This and that transport team were attacked. Your Majesty still failed to contact us. The troops who tried to attack the orc army failed... All in all, there is no good news at all!
If they hadn't known the importance of this war, if they hadn't known that there was no way out, many people would have been forced to go home.
During a routine military meeting, the air pressure was so low that it seemed like it was going to rain.
"His Majesty Void Mask took over another batch of about 20,000 refugees today."
"Just pick him up and pick him up. At least it relieves us a lot of pressure."
"But various signs have appeared in many places, and many people are not willing to fight this battle."
"Those stupid guys! Don't they understand that we are already standing on a cliff, and apart from gritting our teeth and climbing to the top of the mountain, we will fall to death if we let go!"
"The people are ignorant and the most direct. It is difficult for them to understand this kind of thing and they can only see immediate benefits."
"Damn it! We are bleeding and fighting on the front lines, as long as they work in the rear, it's fine. They can't even do this. They are simply useless!"
"... During this period of time, a large number of labor injuries have occurred in various places. There are already a lot of people injured or even killed due to the heavy labor burden. Here is a statistics-"
"Shut up! This kind of statistics is useless! What we want is victory, and it is worth paying no matter how high the price is!"
"… yes."
"Why don't we try another large-scale attack? The mages have already prepared enough to support a major battle."
"Those beasts are waiting for us to attack! Attacking now is playing into their hands! What we have to do is to consume, grit our teeth and consume with them! No matter how much pressure we have here, their pressure will only be greater than ours. ! You must understand that behind us are various countries with abundant supplies and strong industrial and agricultural production. Behind the orcs are only the backward empire, and it is impossible to have enough supplies to supply their army by relying on grazing!"
"But they have managed to survive until now, and maybe they can survive for a long time..."
"No matter how long they can last, they will not last longer than us!" The leader of the human coalition, the king of the Kingdom of Glory, and the current high priest of the Lord of Glory Church, only has one eye left because he was attacked by an assassin before. A cold light was revealed, "We are now like two injured beasts, everyone is bleeding. But they are injured more than us, and their bodies are not as strong as ours. If we continue like this, victory will eventually belong to us!"
After a long silence, a young noble asked: "But... the gods -"
He had just finished speaking halfway when someone around him covered his mouth.
The one-eyed king looked at them eerily, making the man who covered his mouth tremble all over.
After a long time, he said coldly: "The first catch-all rule, enforce it!"
With that, he ended the military meeting.
A moment later, a scream came from outside the conference room, and then the young noble's head was hung on the flagpole.
The first military rule is that it is forbidden to mention anything related to the divine war. Anyone who violates it will be beheaded regardless of their identity!
The one-eyed king sat in his study, silent, with a gloomy face and fierce eyes.
He knew that everyone was under heavy pressure, but who would be under greater pressure than him
Those useless things!
Now is the time to fight for consumption. Even if you want to eat people, you have to wait until the orcs can no longer consume them!
They are working hard, your majesties are working hard now, everyone is working hard, and the enemy is working hard too.
War is such a hard thing!
Without so much hard work, where would victory come from!
The one-eyed king didn't say anything. He sat alone in the darkness for a long time, then walked out of the study and headed to the prayer room.
In front of the altar, he knelt down and prayed devoutly.
"The great Lord of Glory, the leader and hope of our humanity, please guide me as always, give me the courage and ruthlessness to persevere, and allow me to lead the weak who have developed timidity and withdrawal to continue. Stick to it!"
"We will definitely win and we will never hold you back! Please fight the way you want, no matter what, we will persist to the end. No matter what you need us to do, we will definitely do it! "
"Your devout servant is praying here. Please be victorious and lead us to victory!"
"No matter what is needed for victory, we will give it without hesitation!"
"All we want is victory!"
Outside the prayer room, the green jellyfish, invisible to the naked eye, watched all this silently, with a look of sadness on its face.
