Banner of the Evil God

Because he witnessed the battlefield with his own eyes, Sui Xiong gave up his original idea of ​​stealing the three Eagle artifacts for research. The whole night, he floated over the battlefield, thinking alone.

Born in an era of peace and tranquility, and growing up in a stable and peaceful society, for him at the time, the most cruel and terrifying thing in the world was probably a lovelorn lunatic going out on the street with a machete to chop at random, causing many injuries. He was eventually shot to death on the spot - he was eating spicy rice noodles in a nearby shop. He was surprised and put the rice noodles soaked in spicy oil into his nostrils, which left a deep memory.

Of course, he has also seen many horrific reports, such as terrorist attacks that endanger the public in a certain area, such as war and famine in a certain area, such as an earthquake and tsunami in a certain area... But, after all, these are all separated by Media such as TV, computers and newspapers lack a sense of reality.

Born and raised in a peaceful world, he developed a gentle and soft character. He is willing to negotiate with others to solve problems, is willing to share the benefits with everyone, is willing to share the benefits, and is willing to compromise and give in appropriately...

However, this also makes him react quite violently when faced with evil acts that exceed his bottom line of compromise and concession. When he is faced with cruelty that is beyond his ability to bear, he will suffer a very heavy blow.

And among the cruel scenes he had seen in his life, this moment was the most cruel.

It's not that he hasn't fought or killed. For example, when I was in the abyss, I killed countless demons. Even not long ago, he participated in the war to attack Cloud City, fighting with a large number of angels and divine envoys, and he did not know how many he killed. But no matter whether it is a demon or an angel, there is no bloody and tragic feeling when being killed. There is only a light, shadow and flame explosion effect similar to that in the game. For experienced players, this kind of battle is really difficult for them. It has enough realism that it feels like an intense and difficult virtual game.

In fact, until now, Sui Xiong often fantasizes that maybe he is just having a too long and absurd dream. After waking up from the dream, he returns to real life, returns to his dormitory, and continues to look at the warehouse, draw illustrations and play games. Game life.

This may be regarded as escaping reality. He really can't accept the messy reality of this world.

But at this moment, with countless human and humanoid corpses scattered across the fields, he finally had no way to escape reality. He had to look directly at this bloody battlefield and this cruel world.

As an artist, Sui Xiong is an emotional person. He is not good at detailed analysis and thinking, but he is good at understanding and feeling others.

At this moment, he could deeply feel the pain and despair of the dead, the sorrow and grief of the living, the tragic destruction caused by the war, and the disaster that would last for a long time...

He just floated motionless over the battlefield, watching the people at his feet busy, collecting the corpses day by day and disposing of them separately. The corpses of nobles and knights with relatively high status will be frozen, waiting to be returned to their cemeteries; the corpses of junior officers and adventurers with a slight status but not high enough will be burned to ashes, and the ashes will be placed in a In a small jar, they were given to their families along with their belongings; as for ordinary soldiers, their bodies were gathered together and burned, and then their ashes were buried collectively. What they left behind in the end was just a name on the "killed list" of the army secretaries. That’s all.

Compared to the more civilized Eagle Kingdom, the Orc Empire's approach is more rough and ruthless. The corpses of famous strong men would be found and transported back to their hometowns together with their relics, because they could be used as blood inheritance materials for their heirs or tribesmen; ordinary soldiers would simply burn them on fire, and their ashes would float in the wind. No need for burial. As for the scribes, they only record how many people died in a certain tribe, their names, etc. They don't bother to remember them at all.

Sui Xiong stayed above the battlefield for a month, watching with cold eyes as the two sides silently cleaned up their affairs, sent envoys to negotiate, and handed over prisoners. In late January, when the weather was almost extremely cold, the last remaining armies of both sides garrisoned here also left. On the land that was once fought for with blood, there is only a vast expanse of white snow, covering up all traces.

By this time, the casualties on both sides had been tallied.

On the human side, the army directly under the Eagle Kingdom originally numbered about 400,000 people. Among them, nearly 200,000 died in battle, died of illness, and were seriously injured. About 20,000 were slightly injured, and about 50,000 fled. The recruited adventurers originally There were more than 4,000 people, and more than 2,000 people died. The number of minor and serious injuries was about the same, and only a few were intact. About 50,000 volunteers and knights from various countries came to help, and nearly 45,000 died in the battle. The remaining five Few of the thousands could still retain combat effectiveness, and the casualties were the most severe.

The orcs' calculations are more general. The total number of troops engaged in the decisive battle was about 650,000, and almost 350,000 died on the battlefield. Later, due to the insufficient healing ability of the shaman, the number of injured, sick, and those who died or fled was close to that. One hundred thousand. However, the orcs calculated another figure - the elite troops lost about 150,000, and the other losses were about 300,000.

In total, both sides invested more than one million troops, and there were even true gods leading legions of divine envoys to participate in the battle. In the end, the earliest patron saint of mankind, the God of Knights with high reputation, fell. The envoys and believers of the gods were killed and wounded countless, and the mortal casualties on both sides totaled more than 750,000!

Such a tragic war rarely happened in the past history. Even in the legendary war between humans and orcs, although the number of troops mobilized exceeded this number, the casualties were much less than this - both sides mobilized more than 1.5 million troops, but the final casualties were only about 300,000, less than half of this time.

The reason why the casualties in this battle were so tragic was that both sides invested in the divine envoys and several crazy battles. The legendary divine envoy army was too efficient in killing mortals, and with the help of super-large-scale auxiliary divine arts, the mortals who would usually collapse when slaughtered mustered unimaginable courage and launched a crazy battle, regardless of physical strength and casualties, which not only caused an astonishing number of casualties, but also caused a large number of people to die from injuries after the war.

In particular, the human army once broke through the orc front line and launched a completely one-sided slaughter of the low-power auxiliary soldiers in the rear of the orc army. It was just like using a huge sickle to cut wheat. Countless auxiliary soldiers died in large numbers, and the blood even formed a small lake. The price was that almost no one in the human assault troops could come back alive, and almost all of those warriors died in the orc positions.

In the intertwined melee, the situation was reversed. Although several elite orc troops were almost wiped out, before they were wiped out, they took several times more humans with them to the underworld.

The serious consequences of such casualties will be gradually reflected in the future.

The total population of the Eagle Kingdom is about five million, but the Griffin Dukedom in the east is basically semi-independent. Although the place is not large, the land is very fertile and supports nearly one million people. In this war, the Griffin Duke only sent more than 3,000 troops to help. This army was very cunning and always maintained a relatively safe position on the battlefield, with minimal losses.

With a population of four million and a mobilization of 400,000 troops, this has almost exhausted the Eagle Kingdom's assets. The direct loss of 200,000 and the wounded and deserted 70,000 meant that the entire army lost nearly 70%, which means that more than one-fifteenth of the population of 5 million was lost on average. For those regions that sent fewer troops, perhaps only five people from a village joined the army, and three returned in the end; but for those regions that sent more troops, there were cries in every family, and there were deaths in every household. Many funerals were held in every territory at the same time, and many orphans and widows were added to every village.

The Orc Empire has not counted the exact population, but it should be roughly between 12 million and 15 million. However, many tribes in it pretended to obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and only 60% to 70% of them could be called die-hard royalists, that is, about 70 to 10 million.

Taking a more optimistic middle number, assuming that His Majesty the Emperor can mobilize the army among 9 million people, including auxiliary troops, the elite troops will not exceed 300,000, and 100,000 died at once, which seriously shook His Majesty the Emperor's rule. Not to mention the loss of 300,000 auxiliary soldiers, which may not directly harm the emperor's rule, but will have many negative effects on the people.

For the Orc Empire, this means that many once powerful tribes will weaken, and many tribes that were not strong will be annexed. It is unknown how much blood will be shed in the subsequent civil strife and fighting.

At the same time, people cannot forget the knights, troops and adventurers who did not originally belong to the Eagle Kingdom and went to support for interests, beliefs or the king's orders. Their losses were also extremely tragic. The elite believers of the Knight God were almost killed and wounded in the entire main plane, and only about one-fifth of the volunteers were able to return to their hometown alive. Even the adventurers who suffered relatively less losses died a full half...

This is war, a war that is so tragic that it is unimaginable.

Before the outbreak of this war, many people had speculated, some speculated that both sides would win, and many speculated that everyone would draw, but even the craziest and most pessimistic people did not expect that the two sides would fight so badly, it was just like a nightmare!

This crazy and tragic war even moved the goddess of war and death of the war god system. Although He has always been keen to make both sides of the war die more tragically, and even planned a massacre with the god of hunting and slaughter, but facing a super-large scene of a million people fighting and more than 70% casualties, this cruel and evil god could not help but retreat. So much so that His believers who should have praised this war were somewhat speechless.

Regardless of the scale of the war or the number of casualties on both sides, this war, which was later called the "Battle of the Day when the Sun Extinct", was so terrifying that even the gods trembled.

In terms of the impact on future generations, perhaps compared with the war of gods in which the human god system annihilated the solar god system, this war on the human world is more far-reaching...
