Chapter 262: Defensive Counterattack
`
After killing the real orcs, a group of more than 500 human women were driven over. From their timid appearance, I could tell that their lives among the orcs were not easy. But before I could sympathize with their experiences, an unexpected discovery made me feel disgusted with those women. . . . .
"Sir, after investigation, we found out that these people were captured by orcs from the occupied area. After all their relatives were killed, they were forced to become slaves of the orcs." After gathering the human women whose ages ranged from teenagers to over 30 years old, an officer gave me a general report of the situation.
"Slaves? If they were just slaves, it would be easy to deal with... Unfortunately, my Kingdom of Yaen simply can't tolerate them... Shen Qiang, give the order to kill them all. If the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Yaen have any opinions, let them come to me directly, I will give them an answer..." After listening to the officer's words, I didn't show any expression at all, but directly issued a massacre order to Shen Qiang.
"Xiang, what are you going to do? They are all human beings! This... this is more than 500 lives!" After hearing my order, everyone present was stunned. And Yiya in my arms almost fell off the horse. After calming down a little, she turned around and asked me.
"Yiya, look at their bellies... I can't imagine what kind of impact the entire human society will suffer if they give birth to those children? How should we treat those hybrids of humans and orcs
After suffering the invasion of orcs and experiencing the tragic death of their loved ones, how would a normal citizen of the Kingdom of Yan view the women who gave birth to orcs, and how would they view the offspring of the orcs
Even if I am willing to use the power I have now to protect these so-called innocent people, what about the future? As for those half-orcs left behind by the orcs, when they grow up, due to their appearance being very different from humans and the feud between their fathers and humans, we cannot be sure whether they are safe. . . . I am even not sure that if we leave them behind, will we leave behind another hostile race similar to the orcs for the entire human race. . . . . .
Therefore, killing them is the only way to completely solve the problem."
Although I also hope that I can be like the protagonists in those so-called fantasy novels I have seen on Earth, with an extremely strong tolerance and love, and be able to tolerate those innocent half-bloods.
However, I must consider the consequences of doing so. If I do so, I may directly conflict with the rulers of the East Continent, and even put myself in hostility with those rulers.
Even if I can successfully shelter those half-bloods, I cannot guarantee that these half-bloods will not become a time bomb that may explode at any time in the East Continent.
"Sir, what about expelling them? Drive them away, drive them outside the territory of the Kingdom of Yan, or let them run to the orc army to consume food?" After hearing what I said, everyone present was silent. After learning the situation, everyone present knew that human society would never tolerate such mixed-bloods merging into humans. Even after many people in the army learned of this news, they were about to beat up those women. After all, among the survivors here, many relatives died at the hands of orcs. But in the end, someone, because they were all humans in front of them, gave me another suggestion.
"Do you know how the orcs treat human captives? Kill them for fun, use them as slaves, and finally treat them as pigs when there is a lack of food... Do you think I will send them to the orcs to replenish their supplies? Or do you think I will keep a group of potential enemies for more than ten years? Well, don't think about anything, just follow my orders and kill them all..."
Without further explanation, I blindfolded Yiya, turned my horse around and left. After I gave the order, the melee division composed of the survivors rushed forward and chopped the hundreds of women into meat paste. . . . . .
Afterwards, when the orc gathering place was still engulfed in flames, I set out on the journey again with the Legion of God, which had not lost a single soldier.
Using the same method, I led 50,000 troops to annihilate hundreds of large and small beast tribes that migrated to the territory of the Kingdom of Yan. Although I suffered several ambushes in the process, with my advantage of long-range and high speed, even if I couldn't eat the enemy in one bite, after several consumptions, I could still easily win with almost no losses.
In the more than a hundred battles, or massacres, that took place during these almost three months, hundreds of orc settlements were completely destroyed, and several super-large settlements suffered almost devastating blows from me.
A total of about 1.8 million beastmen died, and hundreds of thousands were injured (at first they were massacred en masse, but later all captives had their hands and feet cut off). At the same time, tens of thousands of human men and women were rescued. Tens of thousands of women were indiscriminately massacred by the army of God.
Meanwhile, the magician corps of the Kingdom of Yan, which was confronting the orcs, began to harass the orcs in various ways according to the methods I taught Victor before departure.
In addition to the long-term noise attacks on the orcs at irregular intervals every day, hundreds of magic cannons that had been deliberately modified to reduce their weight, after being installed on special carriages, launched sneak attacks on the orc troops almost 24 hours a day.
In addition, a large number of wind magicians and fire magicians were also constantly making small moves, flying from high altitude to the sky above the orc camp, throwing those specially made small magic shells or magic scrolls at the location where important supplies were stored in the orc camp. Later, they even launched small attack magic in the air that they could do while flying.
At the same time, the orc army also experienced a catastrophe, starting from the animal skin tents they used during the invasion and eating food snatched from humans.
Two months ago, as a large number of their tents and supplies were destroyed, they had been forced to start building simple huts made of grass and wood, and their food became irregular.
A month ago, the situation became even more unbearable. The lack of food, coupled with 24-hour harassment, was unbearable even for a strong orc. Many orcs could no longer bear the ban of the tribal leader and went out of the barracks in groups to hunt for food. But this time, it was almost like throwing meat buns at dogs. (To be continued)
