Chapter 923 · Stalemate (Part 2)

Sui Xiong had said before that he was neutral in this war and would not help either side.

But being neutral does not mean doing nothing. He said that he would lend a helping hand to the refugees in desperate situations, and at the same time set a rule for both sides: no massacres.

As for the former, he had not seen refugees who were really in desperate situations until now - even though the orc mobile forces destroyed towns and villages one by one, leaving more than 100,000 people in a miserable situation without food and clothing. But the human reserves were fully sufficient to deal with such problems, and Sui Xiong did not need to interfere at all.

If the human rulers ignored the lives of these refugees and abandoned them, Sui Xiong would take them away and take away the heads of those rulers - forget about the parts below the heads, just keep them in the coffin.

As for the rule of "no massacres", no one dared to violate it until now, but this did not mean that Sui Xiong had forgotten it.

On the contrary, he actually cared about this matter very much and was always cautious and vigilant.

Driving refugees to attack the city was, of course, also a kind 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 very effective. The orc commanders immediately understood what he meant and gave up this plan that would have been very effective.

It was impossible not to give up. Who would dare to say "not give up" when being stared at by a powerful god who was obviously in a bad mood with a murderous look?

Perhaps there really had been such tough guys in the world, but it was obvious that they had all died long ago and had no chance to pass on their precious bloodline.

So anyway, this time, Sui Xiong did not 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 in bewilderment and wet their clothes with cold sweat on their backs.

Since the method of driving refugees to attack the city did not work, there was only one way left to think about.

Do it hard.

In terms of military strength, the orc mobile force has at least tens of thousands of people, all elite, and many of them are strong. As long as the right opportunity is found, it is not difficult to cut off the human supply line.

Although the human fortress is strong, food still needs to be transported. To transport food, it is natural to transport it out and transport it to the next fortress one by one.

This road for transporting food is the most suitable battlefield.

However, what the orcs can think of, humans can certainly think of. They mobilized a strong and elite force to escort the food, and the number was even more than twice that of the orcs' mobile force.

Faced with such an army, the orcs did not dare to attack rashly.

But they could not watch the food being transported to the front line to provide support for the human Great Wall defense line.

In this case, they naturally chose to ask the gods for help.

Including the orcs, the gods of various tribes have been searching for traces of the human gods for almost half a month.

They searched all the places they could find, but they could not find the whereabouts of the human gods, as if this large group of gods had completely disappeared and all fell.

However, everyone knows that the human gods have not all fallen.

Although none of them showed up in the Pantheon, nearly half of their seats were still there, especially the gods of medium and stronger power, none of whom had fallen.

But from the intelligence obtained by the spies ambushing in human society, the human gods had obviously not been able to restore contact with the clergy, and their clergy had not been able to restore their ability to cast spells.

More importantly, the coalition of gods composed of various pantheons had destroyed thousands of altars and temples of human gods one after another during this period. Except for a few large temples with particularly tight defenses, the sanctuaries of human gods had been almost destroyed.

And their clergy also suffered heavy losses. Many of the gods' churches had been almost completely destroyed, and not even a temple or altar was left. Only some clergy who had escaped by chance could build temporary altars - these altars were of course built in the military camps, and only the altars located in the military camps did not have to worry about the attacks of the gods.

Gods and God's messengers cannot attack the army directly. This is the rule set by the Lord of Order after the "Sun Goes Out" battle.

After all, whether it is gods or God's messengers, their power is too strong compared to mortals. If they can attack the army directly, it will definitely cause extremely serious damage.

The Lord of Order obviously does not want to see this kind of scene, so He set that rule.

This rule is obviously beneficial to humans, but even the orcs did not raise any objections.

Rules are rules. It is beneficial to humans now, but it may not be beneficial to orcs in the future. What's more... no matter what, the orcs are in the upper hand now.

Since they are in the upper hand, don't worry about other things.

The main consideration of the orc gods is to find the human gods and destroy them.

Only by destroying the human gods can this war be called a victory.

However, where are the human gods?

No one knows.

All we can do is to keep looking.

In this situation, when the orc mobile force requested the help of the gods, the orc gods did not hesitate and sent the gods to them.

And what these gods had to do was to cooperate with the orc mobile force to attack the human transport team.

Of course they would not take action directly, as that would violate the order of the Lord of Order. But they could create favorable terrain, create suitable weather, and provide continuous help to the orc soldiers before and during the battle.

With these advantages, despite the backwardness of the troops, the orc mobile force dared to launch an attack on the human transport team.

That attack took place in the early morning, around three o'clock.

It was the cold and dark time of winter, and it was the most tiring time for people. Although the human transport team was prepared every day, when the orcs, with the powerful assistance provided by the magic of the gods, rushed over with a roar and rushed directly to the tents storing food in the camp, they still couldn't help but panic.

Some soldiers hurriedly stood up to fight, while others felt that they should protect the food and grass, and some were completely in a panic, not knowing what to do.

In this chaos, the orc mobile force successfully burned a large amount of food and grass, and left, leaving behind a blazing fire and corpses lying all over the ground.

Among these corpses, there were humans and orcs.

Fortunately, they were not able to destroy all the food and grass, and the human Great Wall defense line that received the news quickly sent reinforcements to strengthen the defense of the transport team.

In the end, only less than one-third of the food and grass originally planned was delivered to the Great Wall defense line in time.

Looking at these food and grass, the commanders of the Great Wall defense line looked gloomy.

When the orc emperor received the news, his face was also very ugly.

They all knew that this war was probably still a long way from ending...
