Chapter 903 (2/2)
“At least, we can’t do anything about it until this war has an outcome,” Sui Xiong said with a gentle sigh. “Although this form of practice is harmful to the workers’ health, if it is not being implemented for too long, it won’t be a big problem either. It won’t be long before this war commences. There’s still time to stop this when there is an outcome of this war.”
“When there is an outcome?” Wall asked. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Your Majesty, who do you think will win?”
Sui Xiong cast a confused look at him, then said, “Of course the humans. It’s impossible for the Orcs to win this at all. The difference in population, I’m afraid, is probably four to five times.
“In truth, all wars of humans are secondary. The key lies in the war of gods,” Wall said.
“That’s right. But even for a war of gods, the humans are still the ones with an absolute advantage,” Sui Xiong said. “The human gods, be it in quantity or quality, are much stronger than the Orc gods.”
“But the Orcs have many allies,” Wall lamented. “This time, the humans don’t have many allies.”
“Allies and such are, in fact, just like that. Do you mean to say you expect these allies to risk their lives to help you?” Sui Xiong questioned. He shook his head and said, “They can do nothing more than provide some help from the side, wave some flags and shout loudly, or they could help in absorbing some of the burdens of firepower. That’s all. Other than that, which ally would help Lefon deal with Wuther?”
The more he said, the happier Sui Xiong felt. He went on to say, “We can look at the number of gods on both sides. The Orc God System currently has about 30 gods, plus the few gods who were just demigods, they can probably make up about 40 die-hard fighters—the ones who will put up the most courageous fight and are willing to put their lives on the line. As for the Human God System, there are about 40 gods from their own God System itself, and adding on those who became gods from humans, there will be more than 200 of them participating in the morale-building rally this time. Forty against 200, will the Orc God System win?
“Of course, as we all know, in a war of the gods, it’s a fight at the level of a great Divine Power that truly determines the outcome. In this regard, the Human God System has four great Divine Powers, and there’s the God of Light among them who is possibly the most powerful of the four. What about the Orc God System? There’s only one great Divine Power, the Sky Devourer Canine. And at most, there is the addition of the Iron Mask Ferocious Spirit. Even if they can rouse a few sleeping ancestor Orcs, they still won’t have any advantage to speak of.”
“How can the Orcs possibly win a war where their top-rated martial skills can’t win them the upper-hand, where their middle and lower-end martial skills are simply going to get them crushed, and where they had a human population that was of a four to five times difference from their opponent? What are they going to depend on to win?”
Wall was silent for a long time. Then he sighed deeply.
“Recently, I’ve been having a bad feeling. I keep thinking that the humans are going to lose, and it will be a crushing defeat at that.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. You’re the God of Knowledge, not the God of War,” Sui Xiong said with a hearty laugh. Then he said, “The God of War, Wenner, is inclined to think that the Human God System will win. Comparing your level of professionalism against him? You’re a far cry!”
Wall could not help smiling as well. It was a bitter smile though.
“I know that too. The God of War’s judgement in this aspect is definitely more accurate than mine. But… this feeling is so intense that I just can’t help worrying…”
Sui Xiong frowned and looked at Wall carefully.
After a while, he asked, “Are you certain that this feeling is very strong?”
“Yes, very strong.”
“And you often feel like that?”
“Often, just now, I felt it again.”
Sui Xiong frowned deeply. Then he was silent for a while again before saying, “Let’s go. We shall go find the Goddess of Fortune!”
