Chapter 977: God is not beautiful
Soon, the conclusion of the Thracian noble council came out. The news that nobles from all walks of life have fought fiercely and sent troops from all directions to resist the invasion of the orcs also spread.
The army of orcs headed by the ligers and tigers couldn't help but panic.
In the past years, the steppe coalition forces invaded Thrace or Western Brunei, and not every time was able to take advantage. On the contrary, they often lost battles, leaving countless corpses and retreating in embarrassment.
But...the dead don't need to eat.
So in fact, a lot of people died, which is not a bad thing, at least the mouths that need to eat have been eliminated.
But this time is different. This time the orc coalition has almost no cannon fodder. But those who participated in the war were almost all the races that had benefited from the war in the past.
They are unwilling and impossible to accept the result of "eliminating the mouth that eats".
To destroy, it is they who destroy others!
Lion clan elder Ryan fainted again after receiving the news. Judging from his angry appearance twice in a short period of time, he was probably old and frail, and he might be about to retire.
The tiger clan chief Galades finally didn't go into a rage this time. When he got the news, he was silent for a long time, and then calmly said: "I see."
Yeah, got it...what else could he say?
During the subsequent discussion between the two sides, he was frustrated and had nothing to say.
"Let's withdraw," Old Ryan said. "It's still too late to withdraw now."
"It can only be like this..." Galades sighed, "If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave..."
The two were speechless and could only drink in silence.
But before they really made up their minds, cheers suddenly came from outside the tent.
"The sun... the sun is out!"
The two patriarchs looked at each other, a little puzzled.
The sun is coming out? What's there to cheer about?
They walked out of the tent, looked up, and suddenly their eyes were like pigeon eggs.
The northern sky, which should have been cloudy, has begun to clear, and the sun has clearly appeared in the northeast of the sky, and the sun is shining brightly.
This kind of thing... shouldn't happen during the White Calamity!
According to experience, during the White Disaster, it should be snow first, then overcast, and then snow. After the snow has accumulated enough thickness, the sun will come out for a few days, and then it will become cloudy and snow again... However, this white disaster, the snow has not actually fallen much.
How did the sun come out?
The two patriarchs looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
On the grasslands, where the orcs all live, cheers are everywhere.
The dark clouds soon dissipated completely and the sky was clear.
Then, the weather began to warm up slowly, and the snow that was not thick at first began to melt.
Obviously, at least this time the snowfall will not bring real disaster to the grasslands.
For those with ambition, though, such weather is a real disaster.
Misjudging the weather situation can be big or small. If things were going well, it wouldn't be a big deal, but... in a situation where things aren't going well right now, it's a big, bad thing!
Old Ryan almost fell ill again.
Because he learned some rumors about the bad patriarchs of the ligers and tigers.
"Actually, they already knew that this white catastrophe has been eliminated, but they still want to take the opportunity to get some benefits." That's all good news. The more ugly news is "they have been abandoned by their ancestors because of their perverse behavior." "such as.
The former statement is not bad, but the latter statement is serious.
How serious is it?
In Chinese history, there is a man who is said to have been abandoned by his ancestors because of his rebellious behavior.
How miserable was King Zhou of Shang when he rushed to the street? On the front, it is the combined army of various princes led by Zhou people under the traditional Shang Dynasty; on the back, it is the combined army of merchants and nobles led by his brother. And what about his subordinates? There were only a few temporarily freed slaves.
It's a real betrayal.
So in the end, he could only put up firewood and grill himself—barbecuing a living person was one of the methods used to worship ancestors in the Shang Dynasty. Probably he also felt that he was really hated by his ancestors, so when he was about to die If you want to please your ancestors, take yourself as a sacrifice.
Now, the situation that Old Ryan and Galades are facing is not as tragic as King Zhou of Shang, but if it goes on like this, sooner or later they will have to chat and laugh with King Zhou of Shang.
After all, everyone's social customs are similar, and the severity of "abandonment by ancestors" is similar.
So the two did not hesitate and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops.
Now they don't care so much anymore, let's run away first!
Orcs have always been soldiers of the whole people, and the speed of retreat is not bad. And because of the meaningless confrontation during this period of time, many people actually have the mind to retreat, and many people are even preparing.
So after the news, the orc army immediately took action, and after only two or three hours, they began to retreat in a mighty manner.
The Thracian army led by Duke Drake did not pursue it, and this was not their territory.
For them, being able to push back the army of orcs was already a great achievement, and there was no need to fight for more.
In the Thracian barracks, Duke Drake even held a feast for this, and drank Dardan with the nobles who arrived in time from all walks of life.
According to history, every time the orcs invaded in the past, almost all the nobles of Thrace had to act and assemble a large army before they could win. And it also takes a lot of time and energy, and many people die, and sometimes even the small half of eastern Thrace is smashed into mud.
But this time, they only dispatched about ten noble families, with a total army of less than 50,000, and they forced the orc army back without much effort.
Although we were looking for reasons, we could find a lot of reasons for this orc army not being strong enough, but the history books of later generations would not record it in such detail.
In the history books, at the merit conference, people will only say that this group of frontier nobles headed by Duke Drake fought valiantly and repulsed the invading orc army with a weak force, creating an amazing and glorious history of the Thracian war. scene.
When he was drinking to his heart's content, Duke Drake looked at the bright sunshine outside the tent and couldn't help laughing.
"This is really beautiful!"
The nobles also laughed.
Coincidentally, at about this time, in the army of orcs fleeing in embarrassment, old Ryan was complaining angrily.
"Why... even God is against us..."
