Chapter 1894: The Start Of The War.



It is not false confidence in themselves. After all, if their enemies were so great, they wouldn't be hiding and scheming like cowards. They wouldn't be using a weak pantheon to waste their time.

Instead of throwing them a piece of meat to preoccupy them, those gods would have

confronted them and fought them openly if they were strong enough. But history has proven that they are not strong enough.

Many gods have confronted them openly and regretted it quickly. So they are not concerned too much about the scheme against them. They are even already planning on what to do after they win the war against the Thames kingdom.

They plan to go to the Western Divine Domain to fulfill the quest they got from Kutneri. Apparently, Oceania used to be an ancient god in the Western Domain. If they are to find any trace of her, then it will be there.

-War Is Coming

The Oracles heard the words of their god and informed the priests of it. The priests passed over the decrees of the 9 Crowns to the Orc chiefs. So the orc chiefs rallied their forces.

Horns were blown and drums were beaten across the makeshift plain. The Orc Host of 200,000 and more began to move towards the fortress. Their footsteps caused the earth to shake. The roar of their war beasts caused some ears to deafen.

These heavy chunks of rock sailed and crashed into the fortress to create an explosion of rock and shrapnel. But all the fortress could do was sit there and take it.

The fortress tried to retaliate with their wall-mounted ballistae, but the giant spears they shot lost momentum after flying too far. The same thing happened with their cannons. Every projectile they used fell short of the distance to the Orcs.

On the other hand, the trebuchet swung another boulder at the fortress. It flung it high up in the sky. Gravity took hold of it and pulled it down, where it smashed onto the fortress.

The boulder destroyed one of the useless cannons at the top of the wall and caused a cave-in that smashed some of the men below the first level of the wall into meat paste.

The orcs cheered at the sight. Meanwhile, the men on the fortress narrowed their eyes, trying to see what was going on with the orcs. It is because the distance was too far for them to see what the orcs were doing.

The eyesight of humans has only been above average among the sentient races. It is nothing special, as even goblins can see in the dark. They haven't improved their eyesight with mana, so their eyesight has fallen below average.

This is just one of the many things that the humans were lacking. In general, things were going poorly for the humans. Actually, not a single thing is going well for them in this battle.

The orcs were still marching forward, but by the time they got within range of the fortress, it was unlikely that there would be a fortress still standing. There certainly wouldn't be a fortress powerful enough to punish the orcs for getting close to the fortress. Those days are over.

The fortress is doomed. This, coupled with the fact that the human soldiers in the fortress were hungry, thirsty, smelly, and hadn't had a good sleep in a long while, made the fact that the fortress was exploding around them and killing everyone a good reason to give up.
