In the Pantheon Temple, the atmosphere had been very tense during this period.
In the second row, right after the Master of Order, the God of Light used an unimaginable magic power to move his seat to the side of the Sky Devourer Canine. He did not speak and just sat there quietly, waiting.
But the Sky Devourer Canine did not appear. Not only this Master God of the Orc God System, but all the gods of the Orc God System did not appear during this period.
The God of Light did not express any opinion on this matter. He only laughed coldly and waited patiently.
The Orc God System wanted to expand their power through the war in the human world. This was a common tactic in the war between gods. Whether it was the human gods or the Orc gods, they were all gods of faith. If the number of people who believed in them decreased, their power would also be weakened. There were even examples of them being demoted or even dying.
But … the war between the Orcs and humans had been going on for so many years, and there had never been a winner. Situations like the Orc Empire's general mobilization had happened before in history. Although each time the war was extremely fierce, there had never been a time when the defense of the human countries had been completely defeated. Could this time be an exception?
The gods of the Pantheon Temple waited for a few days. Finally, the Fire Elemental God, the King of Flames, who had a good relationship with the God of Light, could not help but ask the God of Light about the war in the human world.
The God of Light did not play the "silence is golden" trick. He laughed coldly and said, "For a long time, that group of filthy beasts has occupied a large area of fertile land. They are like mosquitoes on the land, casually growing and putting on all kinds of ugly acts. Not only that, but they also always look at the areas where humans live and live, trying to spread the ugly ecology over like a plague. Similar invasions happen every once in a while. It's not a big deal. "
"Is that all?" the King of Flames asked.
"That's about it," the God of Light replied confidently. "We humans never reject any friends, nor are we afraid of any enemies. We use wine, food, songs and dances to welcome our friends. We use swords and magic to defeat our enemies. They want to fight? Then let's fight. Humans are not afraid of war! "
Such an answer obviously did not satisfy the King of Fire. Hence, he asked the God of Light if he had any specific strategies to counter the attack. However, the God of Light refused to answer. He expressed that this was a military secret and was not suitable to be discussed in public. If he was interested, he could ask in private.
After a while, the King of Flames found the God of War and asked the God of War for his opinion on the war.
"Opinion? You know, I love war! " The old God of War smiled. However, there was no kindness or kindness in his smile. Instead, it was filled with viciousness and bloodlust. "Whether it is attacking or retreating, whether it is invading or defending, whether it is sweeping or ambushing … As long as it is war, I like it!"
"I like to see countless people kill each other for their own benefits, ideals, or beliefs. It doesn't matter why, as long as they kill each other."
"I like to see their blood and corpses all over the ground. I like to see the victors cheer in a pool of blood. I like to see the losers cry in a pool of blood. I like to see the dead struggle in a pool of blood. I like to see the barbaric slaughter in a pool of blood. I like to see the swift chase in a pool of blood … Iron and blood, the smell of war is so alluring! It doesn't matter who is attacking who, who is fighting for who, who is laughing and who is crying … I only like the war itself. I like the various scenes in the war. "
"When countless living beings shout, scream, cry, and whine, when they use all their strength to fight and fight for the less than half chance of survival, I will always be overjoyed to see them from the sky and admire such rare and beautiful scenes."
"You asked me what my opinion on this war is? My opinion is that it is good! Very good! Very good! I like this war! "
The King of Flames was silent for a while. Then, he asked, "I mean, do you have any opinion on the outcome of this war, who has the upper hand, what the outcome might be … these kinds of questions?"
"What will happen to the mortals who can only live for a few decades? I have no interest in that at all. " The God of War laughed nonchalantly. "My power comes from the war itself. What I care about is whether there are any more wars in the world, whether there are enough wars, and whether the wars are intense enough. Other than that, I have no interest at all! "
"… Then you should at least have some opinion on the combat power of both sides, right?" The King of Flames sighed. "Just give me some face and talk about the outcome of the war."
The God of War laughed. He used his hand to touch his beard that was harder than steel needles and said, "The Beastmen have been reproducing very quickly in recent years. The number of young adults has increased greatly. Thus, they will definitely use war to consume a portion of their population. On one hand, they will use this method to filter out the weaker or unlucky ones. On the other hand, they will reduce the consumption of food and reduce the pressure on the population. Thus, from this perspective, the Beastmen shouldn't really care about winning. "
All the Gods nodded slightly and felt that what he said made sense.
"However, not caring about winning doesn't mean that they can't win. Just like what I said before, the Beastmen have been reproducing very quickly in recent years. This has caused the number of their soldiers to be shockingly high. Their purpose of war is basically to consume the population … Thus, their way of fighting must be very cruel. I'm afraid that the humans will find it difficult to withstand them. "
All the Gods were silent for a while. The God of Knights couldn't help but ask, "Then, what do you think the humans should do to increase their chances of winning?"
The God of War laughed loudly. "So what if they win? The humans have already abandoned their faith in you. Look at the human world. How many of your temples are left? How many of your believers do you still have? How many people are still following your ideals? What does winning or losing have to do with you? "
"It does," the God of Knights said calmly. The God of Knights said calmly, "Even if I die tomorrow, I will continue to pay attention to and protect humans today. Even if I die in the next moment, at least I am still alive at this moment. As long as I am alive, I must fulfill the oath I made to myself. "
There was a moment of silence in the Pantheon temple. The God of War shook his head and sighed. "The humans will definitely lose. It's just a matter of how big the loss is. If the human countries can unite and march from both the east and the south at the same time, then the Beastmen may not have much of an advantage when fighting on both sides. But you and I both know that this is impossible. "
Just as he said, the Kingdom of Holy Angels was to the east of the Orc Empire, and the Kingdom of Eagle was to the south. The two countries were enemies and had been fighting endlessly in the Great Plains in the east of the continent, fighting for the fertile land. No one would believe that these two countries could put aside their hatred and unite against the foreign enemies.
Not to mention that the Kingdom of Holy Angels believed in the Sun God as their national religion and did not pay much attention to the human gods. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Eagle was an important area for the human gods to believe in. There were even many descendants of gods in the country. Even in terms of faith, the Kingdom of Holy Angels had no possibility of helping the Kingdom of Eagle.
"… Why did the Beastmen attack the Kingdom of Eagle and not the Kingdom of Holy Angels?" At the high-level meeting of the Church of Void Mask, Sui Xiong looked at the map and said in confusion, "Don't they have a strong army and a large population now? Then wouldn't it be more advantageous to fight directly to the east and spread out the large army with the help of the vast terrain? "
Just as he said, the area bordering the Orc Empire and the Kingdom of Holy Angels was a vast hilly area. Here, they could fully spread out a large battle array, which was enough to give full play to the advantage of the Beastmen's military strength. And the place where the Orc Empire and the Kingdom of Eagle bordered was a relatively narrow valley between the Graystone Mountains and the Mountain of Giant Beasts. Here, there were many fortresses built by the Kingdom of Eagle for a long time. If one wanted to fight in such a place, what was needed was not quantity but quality. Even if the Beastmen had a large army, not many of them could be put into the battlefield at one time. How could they take advantage of the situation?
"Probably because of political and religious considerations." When it came to war, there were not many people in the high-level of the Church of Void Mask who really had foresight. Only Leon Igor, who used to be the son of the Kingdom of Eagle, could speak with confidence and assurance. "Indeed, as Your Majesty said, from a military point of view, it is most advantageous for the Beastmen to fight to the east. But if they fight to the east, the Kingdom of Eagle is likely to attack under the oracle of the human gods and cooperate with the Kingdom of Holy Angels to fight on both sides. After all, the Kingdom of Holy Angels is also a human country. Even if they do not believe in the human gods, the human gods should protect them because of their priesthood. "
"Then there is no such problem in fighting the Kingdom of Eagle?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Yes, the Kingdom of Holy Angels mainly believes in the Lord of Light (the Sun God). He is one of the leaders of the Natural God System and does not have a good relationship with the God of Light. For a long time, he has been trying to weaken the belief of the human gods in the country. In this situation, it is already lucky that he does not let the Kingdom of Holy Angels cooperate with the Orc Empire to fight. Do you expect him to give an oracle and let the Kingdom of Holy Angels help the Kingdom of Eagle? That is impossible. "
Sui Xiong thought for a while, shook his head, and sighed.
"A group of guys who do not know what is important!"
"… It is not that they do not know what is important. It is just that everyone cares about different things." In the world that Sui Xiong had named "Shelter of Holy Light," the gods who had a good relationship with him gathered together to discuss the problem of this war. When Sui Xiong sighed that the Sun God did not know what was important, Javier explained, "For the Lord of Light, the lives and deaths of those humans who do not believe in him are completely not worth caring about. And after the orcs have gone through this war and lost a large number of people, they should be stable for a long time, so the Kingdom of Holy Angels does not have to worry about anything. It is also natural that they do not send troops to help the Kingdom of Eagle. "
"Don't they know that the teeth are interdependent when the lips are gone?"
"The teeth are interdependent when the lips are gone … This phrase is well used!" Morani praised, but said, "But the Kingdom of Holy Angels and the Kingdom of Eagle are actually mortal enemies. They do not have a relationship of lips and teeth."
Sui Xiong frowned a few times and finally sighed angrily.
This matter was really displeasing!
