"Kill! Kill! Kill! Keep on chasing! Don't stop! "
"Even if you're so tired that you can't breathe, don't stop! Even if you're tired to death, you must die on the way! "
"Use our swords to bring peace to our descendants!"
The human soldiers roared and encouraged each other. They dragged their tired bodies and chased after the equally tired Orcs in front of them.
They were already very tired, but the Orcs in front of them were even more tired. After all, the humans still had clergymen who followed the army and could occasionally use divine spells to relieve fatigue and restore strength. Although the Orcs still had clergymen, there were almost no gods who could give divine spells.
The outcome of this chase was already decided.
Finally, the Orc soldiers were exhausted and could no longer run. They did not even have the strength to turn around and fight back. They could only lie on the ground and let the exhausted human soldiers catch up to them and kill them one by one with spears or swords. When the cold sharp blades pierced through their bodies, there were no screams of pain. There were only sighs of despair as lives were lost.
In fact, many Orcs had already died of exhaustion when they fell. The so-called last stab was nothing more than creating some meaningless wounds on the dead bodies.
This happened everywhere. The Orc army that had completely collapsed was like a plate of loose sand. They could no longer organize any decent resistance. The bravest armies of the empire, those brave men who could still fight to the death in desperate situations, had already followed their old emperor and dyed the battlefield red with blood. The ones who were running now were only the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had lost their courage.
Perhaps they each had their own reasons for not wanting to die, not being able to die, not willing to die. But the battlefield was a casino where lives were the stakes. If you were willing to gamble, you had to be willing to lose.
There were also deserters who tried to escape into the Orc village and hide among the civilians. But as soon as they neared the village, a green light would fall from the sky and mercilessly stop them outside.
This was Sui Xiong's move.
He would not allow these deserters to escape into the civilians. That would cause a huge mess.
Early on, after the humans had won, he had found the God of Light and reminded him to restrain the army and not to kill civilians. In response, the God of Light said that as long as the civilians did not protect the Orc army, he would not order a massacre.
Sui Xiong was not very satisfied with his answer, but he did not continue to ask. But every time the human army wanted to rush into the Orc village, they would be stopped by a green light.
That was his attitude.
If you need supplies, pay for them yourself. He couldn't play the "expropriation" game. For the sake of war, the Beastmen had already squeezed out almost all of their resources. If they were plundered in the name of "expropriation", most of them would probably starve to death this winter.
In that case, what was the difference between that and a massacre?
Sui Xiong would not allow a massacre against civilians, no matter who killed them. As for the "conqueror's right" or whatever, Brother Xiong refused to acknowledge it.
No matter how good the human gods were at fighting, in the Main Plane, Brother Xiong had the final say!
In this regard, the human gods naturally had a lot of opinions. Javier specifically found Sui Xiong and advised him not to be so stubborn.
"Anyway, the Orcs are already done for. Why bother offending the God of Light for them?" Javier said earnestly. "It's not worth it!"
Sui Xiong just smiled and did not answer.
Whether it was worth it or not didn't depend on others, but on one's own opinion.
It didn't matter if others didn't think it was worth it. If he thought it was worth it, that was enough.
The God of Justice, Yorgaardman, was very appreciative of his decision. Even though he was a human and had a bad relationship with the Orc gods, he was first and foremost the God of Justice. He had to first consider things from the perspective of justice.
The victors launching a massacre against the civilians of the losers was, of course, an unjust act.
So he very quickly followed suit and announced that he firmly supported Sui Xiong in protecting the Orc civilians and preventing the human army from slaughtering and looting them.
Immediately after, many good gods expressed the same opinion.
On one hand, they were doing this out of their own good standpoint, but on the other hand, they were also a little worried — the power of the God of Light made them all worried. Under such circumstances, if they could cooperate with the Void Mask and the God of Justice to weaken the influence of the God of Light, even if it would not have much practical effect, at least it could make them feel more at ease.
Regarding this matter, Morani, who had been injured and defeated in that battle, privately found Sui Xiong and sincerely advised him not to stand up for him.
"The God of Light's situation is not right." Because his battle incarnation, which had almost all of his Divine Power, had been destroyed, the Iron Lion was still very weak. Even though this was a private one-on-one situation, he still said in a low voice, "His power is already abnormal."
"Abnormal? Between great Divine Powers, there is always a difference. "Sui Xiong was a little confused.
"The difference should not be so big." Morani shook his head and said, "His current level of power is not like a great Divine Power, but more like … he is becoming a great Divine Power."
Sui Xiong frowned and thought of the few times he had met and talked with the God of Light.
He had indeed felt the aura of a great Divine Power from the God of Light, but that level was not even comparable to the Dragon of Chaos. Logically speaking, he should still be quite far away from a real breakthrough.
But … the combat power that the God of Light displayed had already surpassed that of the Dragon of Chaos.
Sui Xiong had left an incarnation in the Dragon of Chaos' lair. Previously, when he saw the scene of the God of Light displaying his power, he had asked the Dragon of Chaos about it. At that time, the Dragon of Chaos was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Even if we fight one-on-one now, I can't beat him."
What did this mean? After becoming a great Divine Power, the God of Light would be stronger than the Master of Chaos?
Or … the God of Light had actually walked very far on the path of becoming a great Divine Power, but he could not see it?
Sui Xiong could not be sure.
In this decisive battle, Morani and a few brave Orc gods had once rushed to the front of the God of Light, but in the end, they were unable to force the God of Light to fight. But at that time, the God of Light was tempted once again and wanted to fight.
At that time, Morani could clearly feel the deep pressure that was as deep as the sea. That was a power that the Orc Master God Lefon had never had before. It was also a power that the God of Justice, Yorgaardman, had never displayed before. It was not a difference in strength, but a difference in essence.
That was why he had specially looked for Sui Xiong to persuade him not to become enemies with the God of Light.
"I am not sure if he has become a great Divine Power, but even if he has not, he is not far from it," Morani said worriedly. "Once he has become a great Divine Power, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be a big showdown. If you provoke him now, you will definitely be a thorn in his side. You will be the first target that he will attack! "
However, in the end, Sui Xiong still did not listen to his advice.
Before he had transmigrated, he had admired a saying: "There are things that a man should not do, but there are things that he must do." At that time, he did not have enough power to hold his head high and call himself a man. But now, he had it.
Since he had power, why not do what he wanted to do? Why should he tolerate those things that he did not like?
So the green light fell from the sky again and again, stopping the human army from stepping into the Orc towns and villages. It also stopped the Orc deserters from escaping into the civilian population.
Since they want to fight, let them fight to the end. Since they have stepped onto the battlefield where their lives are at stake, please leave after they have lost!
Sui Xiong thought so.
The result was actually not that tragic. After a few big chases, the human army finally stopped and began to arrange for the follow-up work.
And at this time, the God of Light gave an order.
In this battle, the races that challenged the humans and lost could no longer maintain their countries and churches on the Main Plane. They could not establish military or commercial organizations, could not occupy land, and could not maintain their titles.
If they still wanted to stay in the human world, they could only be farmers, craftsmen, small merchants, or mercenaries. Just like the Orcs in the past, they could be scattered everywhere and accepted the rule of various lords.
If they were not willing, then it was fine. They could leave the Main Plane.
Just like those races that had lost and left in the past.
In addition, those like the dwarves who had lost and left but came back to stir up trouble must all leave this time. Not a single one of them was allowed to stay!
In general, this request was not particularly harsh. It was much more relaxed than what many people had expected — it should be known that among the human gods, many gods strongly requested for cruel revenge against the other races.
As the saying went, "When you are under a low roof, you have to lower your head." Although they were very unwilling, the dwarves, Orcs, and Marsh natives finally began to retreat before the deadline given by the God of Light.
The only ones who did not move were the elves.
It was not that there was no movement. The choice of the elves was to recall as many of their people as possible to the Ancient Forest and then set up a large-scale enchantment in the Ancient Forest.
It was obvious that they wanted to resist to the end.
Including Sui Xiong, no one was optimistic that they could win — in the past, when all the races joined forces, they were still no match for the humans. Now that only the elves were left, how could they win?
But this time, the Elven Council showed unusual determination. All the elders and Demigods appeared and emphasized that they would definitely be able to protect the home of the elves.
Where did they get this confidence from? Sui Xiong was very curious.
All the gods were very curious.
But now was not the time to be curious.
There was another important thing to do in front of them.
The humans were not in a hurry to deal with the elves who refused to admit defeat. Instead, they sent invitations to the gods, inviting them to come to the newly established Human God Kingdom, the "Court of Victory."
To watch the human master god, the God of Light, ascend to a greater Divine Power.
Yes, as many people had guessed, the God of Light wanted to use the fact that the humans had defeated all the other races to become the absolute overlord of the Main Plane. He wanted to break through the limits of a great Divine Power and step into the realm of a greater Divine Power that no other god could step into besides the four great God Masters!
