"My lord, my subordinates reported that the Wind Howling Fortress was captured by us not long ago, and those bugs are fleeing south!" A new ascendant knelt on one knee and said loudly.
"You did a great job! I will report this credit to Your Excellency Lord of the Vault of Heaven." Totoloc nodded approvingly, "Don't worry about the collapse for the time being, and continue to cut the front of the bugs eastward until they are defeated!"
"Yes!"
"This war will bring you more than one promotion opportunity, seize the opportunity well and exchange their blood for honor!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
After the first ascender retreated, Totoloc sneered and looked at the map provided by the human nobles, "The bugs are just like this, Lord Hykezord is too concerned. Their traps may be effective once or twice, but It is impossible to take effect every time. War is ultimately determined by positive force, and even if their resistance is much stronger than four hundred years ago, it cannot make up for the overall gap between ethnic groups."
"But our losses are not small," the tentacles of Siasis's chin hissed, "We lost nearly 40,000 warriors in eight days, and the frontline troops have already lost 30%. If we continue to fight like this, follow-up strength may appear. Discontinued."
"So what? Recalcitrant in the early stage and collapse in the later stage. Isn't this the consistent performance of bugs?" Totoloc said indifferently, "In the battle of divine will, only the tough race that can withstand casualties can win the final victory. Victory. Now that the west of Wolfheart is in my hands, how long can the remaining two cities hold on? When we double-team from all sides, they will soon lose the will to fight - as it is now!"
Siasis did not refute.
Although the strength of human resistance is somewhat unexpected, it still agrees with the other party's views.
After all, it has seen too many times that the stalemate situation suddenly collapsed, as if the seemingly solid frozen river surface shattered and disintegrated in an instant.
Often the cause only requires a crack.
Human beings always resist the strongest at the beginning, but as casualties continue to increase and they fail again and again, they will gradually lose confidence, and internal divisions will also occur, and finally lose the will to fight completely. The casualties of the early ethnic groups will be greater than the opponents, but as long as the continuous pressure continues, this situation will be reversed.
In the later stage, it is not an exaggeration to describe human beings by looking out for the wind and fleeing.
This is not simply a matter of courage, but, as Totoloc said, stems from the essential gap between the two groups.
They need a lot of rest, food, warm bedding and shelter from the wind, but these are conditions that are difficult to achieve in war.
It has carefully studied human beings, and even if you don't have to see it with your own eyes, you can imagine how bad the other party's current situation is.
Uninterrupted attacks for days in a row, the use of protists as consumables, coupled with the advantage of quantity, humans basically cannot get enough rest time under such conditions, and their spirits must be on the verge of collapse; as for ample food Don't even think about where you live.
These unfavorable conditions will continue to wear down their morale, and the news of the fall of Jinshiling and Fengxiaobao will spread in the army sooner or later. When the two are superimposed together, how long can Xisha City and Shenchiwan last
However, the ethnic group does not need these things. Whether it is eating or resting, it can be solved by the mayfly of life. The more cruel the war, the more obvious this advantage will be.
Siasis agrees with Hykezord, but it firmly believes that the victory will ultimately belong to the race, and that humans - not bugs, have done enough.
"I will bring the news of the victory back to Sky City, and the next attack will be handed over to you for the time being." It said, "Don't underestimate the opponent, and strive to use the existing strength to occupy the heart of the wolf - at this time, we should not Too much burden on the rear."
Totoloc spit out a breath of heat, "Don't worry, if the troops are insufficient, I will fill in that link myself."
…
After withdrawing to the safety zone, Joda slept for more than ten hours.
When he woke up, he felt weak all over, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously wanted to touch the dry food in his pocket, but found that all the clothes on his body had been changed to new ones, and there was no familiar rifle by the bedside.
There were a dozen or so wooden beds in the tent, but they were all empty.
This is... a field hospital
He was sent here by his teammates, probably because of the side effects caused by the failure of the delaying agent when he fainted.
I don't know how Fara is doing now.
In order not to reveal her identity, she endured the severe pain and destroyed the wound beyond recognition. Even if her life is not endangered, it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover.
When he thought that the comrade-in-arms he had been with for more than half a year turned out to be a goddess, Juda felt a little hot on his cheeks - he had no idea about this when he was withdrawing from Fengxiaobao.
However, this restlessness and anxiety were quickly dissipated by a strong sense of hunger.
If he doesn't eat something quickly, he suspects that he may fall down again at any time.
Joda slowly got up from the bed and dragged her weak body towards the outside of the tent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a strong aroma of meat penetrated into his nostrils. The aroma was so tempting, it was like a delicacy from heaven.
"Are you awake?" A nurse quickly noticed him, "Isn't it explained above? You can't take the delayer together. If you take one more pill, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up. Now you're starving. , I'll take you to the cafeteria."
After following the other party into a large tent, Joda almost couldn't believe his eyes.
I saw seven or eight iron buckets lined up on the long table, filled with steaming food, from meat steaks to soups. Everyone lined up in a horizontal line and passed the long tables with their lunch boxes in turn. When the food in the bucket was more than half consumed, someone would pour new food into it-no doubt, these meals were made by the logistics department.
But... that's too extravagant, isn't it
As a Mojin hunter who used to hunt in cooperation with other small clans, he naturally knew how difficult it was to provide fresh food for a team, not to mention wartime! The front line of the First Army is obviously short on personnel and ammunition. How could it be possible to use precious transportation capacity for such a thing
When Juda couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, the nurse chuckled, "These food are not brought from Greycastle, they come from various cities in Dawn. And it is not the First Army and the Caravans, but those you rescued."
"The... people we rescued?"
"Yeah," the other party's tone was full of gentleness, "there are both the fugitives of the Everwinter Kingdom and the refugees of the wolf heart, some of them went to Neverwinter, while the other part hoped to stay, in order to fight The devil is doing something. The food is what they brought here bit by bit on a cart, or even on a hand."
Joda suddenly didn't know what to say.
He had also carried out evacuations, and to be honest, the refugees weren't particularly cooperative at first, and there were occasional clashes between the two sides, which he had privately complained about and dismissed them as hopeless idiots. But now, it is these "foolish people" who bring them hot meals.
"It's not just the rescued," the nurse said in a very happy tone, "The merchants from Chenxi also stood by our side. They not only provided many horses, but also took the initiative to reduce the price of food, so everyone can enjoy it here. To fresh hot rice and hot dishes."
She raised her head, looked at Joda and said with a smile, "Does this mean that we are fighting for all mankind is gradually being accepted by everyone? When I think of this, I feel full of energy!"
