Chapter 925 - : The Impasse (Part 1) (2/2)

These Oracles would provide them with sufficient intelligence and support in a timely fashion so that they could keep themselves in good condition. The Oracles would even transport supplies to them—with the help of the Oracles, even if they had to go up front alone, they would never be left with no support at all.

On the contrary, given the actual situation, they might be much better provided for and more carefree than the main military army. This main Orc army of troops was presently at the western region of the defense line at the Great Wall, doing their best to outstare the human army.

After all, the army they had to face was not strong. It was nothing more than some militia or the private army of aristocrats. The elite troops of the humans were either mass-gathered at the defense line at the Great Wall or stationed to stand guard at the various important points of the supply lines. It was simply impossible to deploy enough troops to deal with them.

As for the issue of transferring a few masters, what was the use of a few masters in the face of such a large army of tens of thousands of men, as well as the masters who might possibly be hidden among this great army? It would be nothing but death.

In fact, the humans could also mobilize a few troops to lay siege around them. With the advantage they had with their military strength, this was not impossible. But the Orcs had the Oracles to help collect information. The human army had tried to surround them twice, but they easily evaded the humans on both attempts. The second time around, they even managed to take advantage of the situation to lay a trap and but was hit with a swift counter-attack.

As the days passed, the weather gradually became warmer. But the commanders on both sides were feeling cold deep within instead.

The cold was not due to despair or fear, but rather, due to their murderous intentions.

The humans had suffered a great loss. Their previous loss incurred at the war of bases was nothing much. This period of time where they suffered a harassing attack by the Orc’s mobility troop in the core region of their own land, this was truly a heavy loss for them. At least a hundred towns and villages were reduced to rubble and ruins, more than one hundred thousand civilians were turned into refugees in need of rescue—and all of this was just the beginning.

A hundred thousand people were not considered many, but it was not as easy to provide food and shelter for an additional one-hundred thousand people.

The humans deliberated on this aspect repeatedly. In the end, they could only choose to move this one hundred thousand people towards the defense line at the Great Wall. Only there were they able to get enough food and shelter.

As for the issue of danger, if the great army failed, where else could there not be danger?

On the side of the Orcs, their mobility troop had gone through more than 10 days of continuous combat and were also a little tired. Most importantly, they had yet to accomplish their greatest goal for this trip.

For the Orcs’ mobility troop, attacking the core region of the humans’ land and creating a large number of refugees were only targets conveniently accomplished along the way. Their primary goal was to destroy the supply lines of the humans. However, the humans certainly expected this as well. Every fortified point along the entire supply line was heavily guarded. Almost all were uniformed fortresses and were heavily guarded. The Orcs’ mobility troops would suffice when it came to attacking places like aristocrats’ castles or towns and villages, but they were still far from adequate to be used to attack these heavily guarded fortresses.

Under such a situation, these Orcs who had gone deep behind their enemy’s line, could not help feeling frustrated.

According to tradition, at this point in time, they should be capturing large numbers of humans, force these civilians to attack the fortress and use their lives to deplete weapons and morale of the guarding soldiers. Such a method was cruel, vicious, but extremely effective.

But this time, they could not do so.

When the Orcs’ mobility troop convened their military conference at night to discuss this plan, they heard a roar coming from the sky.

Their sturdy tent was torn to shreds. A huge green jellyfish was looking at them with big, terrifying bloodshot eyes.

Sui Xiong did not say anything, but his attitude made everything crystal clear.
