    Chapter 315 Post-War Issues

    It is March 10th, 187th year of the Holy Light Calendar.

    The battle in the southern part of the Alliance ended, and the entire battle lasted for several hours.  Putting aside Kadlak's decapitation tactics and Lin Tan's ambush trap, this battle was absolutely tragic in every aspect.  The Principality of Florence has rarely experienced a war of this scale, and the blood dyed the originally green plains and fertile fields bright red.  It also attracted scavengers that were not originally seen in the plains.  However, these scavengers may not be able to find anything delicious to eat. Lin Tan left behind a brigade of logistics soldiers to clean the battlefield.  This is also what Grand Duke Colin requested. If these corpses are allowed to be left here, spring will begin soon. Regardless of whether the war is won or lost, a huge plague will break out in the Principality of Florence. This will affect both the principality and the principality.  It is an unacceptable loss for the entire league.

    Apart from leaving the logistics troops to clean the battlefield, Lin Tan did not command the troops to continue the attack.  It's not that he doesn't want to seize this good opportunity to beat the drowned dog, but now no matter from any aspect, it is difficult to continue fighting with the orcs.

    In the battle of the Southern Confederacy, both sides invested a total of more than 40,000 troops.  The orcs suffered huge losses. The elite Kodo cavalry troops were almost completely wiped out. Most of the large number of fully equipped elite warriors were also lost. The remaining soldiers suffered countless injuries.  According to post-war statistics, the number of orc casualties this time was probably over 10,000.  The humans were not feeling well either. Although the humans won the war, they still failed to completely defeat the orcs in the end. Under the leadership of Ramos, the orcs retreated in an orderly manner.  In the previous frontal wars, the total number of human soldiers lost exceeded 7,000.  Fortunately, both the Purple Lily Legion and the Huahan Knights suffered relatively small casualties and did not reach the point of breaking their muscles and bones, which ensured the strength of humanity's elite troops.

    On the other hand, Lin Tan's own physical condition is not enough to lead the army to continue fighting a large-scale battle.  You know, commanding a war involving more than ten thousand people is very stressful for the commander, and the injury he suffered in the previous sneak attack by Kadrak has not yet completely healed.  He managed to win the battle in the southern battle by holding on to his strength. At the final moment of pursuit, if Lin Tan had all the fighting power, not to mention being able to directly keep Kadrak behind, at least the Orc King  The injury may continue to worsen.

    Although from all aspects, it is difficult for humans to take advantage of the victory and directly drive the orcs into the ocean.  But this does not mean that the human coalition has no other actions.  There was no large-scale advance, and the small-scale advance was still pressing forward step by step. The orc troops, which suffered even greater losses, had to shrink their defense lines and were restrained in the coastal areas, making it difficult to move forward.

    For the alliance, they are in no hurry.  The next batch of reinforcements will arrive soon. By then, Lin Tan can add at least 5,000 more soldiers to make up for all the combat power lost in the last war. After recharging his strength, he can continue his plot.  This is impossible for the orcs. Their tactics originally wanted to rely on the surprise attack of 20,000 orc warriors to cause chaos within the Holy Cross Alliance and exert huge pressure, so that the alliance had to mobilize all the troops on the battlefield of the Eastern Kingdom of Meazza.  Strength allows the real main force of the orcs to break through from the Wolfblood Fortress.  However, such a tactical goal has been difficult to achieve now. The orc army in the eastern battlefield was suppressed by the coalition forces led by General Batty, and the landing force that had been pinned on was defeated by Lin Tan in one fell swoop.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that it is difficult for the orcs to continue to receive reinforcements and supplies.

    In the hinterland of the alliance, the orc troops are alone and deep, so all reinforcements and supplies rely on sea power.  It has to be said that the shipbuilding technology of the goblins is quite good. Through huge sea ships, various supplies are continuously delivered. Coupled with the three-light policy implemented in the Principality of Florence, the orc army can  There was no shortage of food or supplies.  But things are different now.  After the southern battle, Lin Tan adhered to the tactical policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, and firmly relied on blockades one after another to control the orc army in the coastal areas.  At the same time, with the arrival of the main fleet of the Kingdom of Wembley, after a fierce naval battle with the Orc fleet, although they were not able to completely defeat the opponent's maritime power, they still had a slight upper hand, at least leaving the opponent's fleet without a chance.  Ways to easily transport supplies.

    Seeing that the army could not last much longer, even the orcs could not help but think of retreating.

    Ramos rubbed his temples and looked helplessly at the noisy orc officers and tribal leaders below.  If Kadrak was around, this situation would be completely impossible.  With the prestige and ability of the orc king, who dares to make a noise in front of him???, that is no different from seeking death.  But Ramos is different. Even in terms of strength, he is still a level 16, close to legendary shaman.  But this can only win him respect, otherwise the chiefs and generals will not let him, who has no prestige in the orc tribe, sit at the top.  But even Ramos could not make all the tribal chiefs and generals obey his orders.  At this moment, the issue of retreating or continuing to fight to the death has become a big deal.

    "If the king were here, it wouldn't be like this." Ramos is definitely a wise man, but he really doesn't have many ways to deal with this situation, and he can only miss it in his heart.  But Kadlak's current physical condition makes it difficult to even get out of bed. How can he come here to suppress these unruly orcs?  Looking weak at that time will only shake the determination of these orc generals to fight, right?

    Judging from Ramos¡¯ own thoughts, he does not support continuing to fight.  Because the situation has gradually become clearer, not only will no further benefits be gained from continuing the fight, but there is a danger of the entire army being annihilated.  But he didn't choose to evacuate. There was naturally a reason for this.  Seeing that the officers below were about to start fighting again, he immediately used the power of magic to separate the two impulsive guys. After some consolation, he announced the dissolution of the military meeting.

    Ramos doesn¡¯t have that much time to appease the emotions of the officers. He has to think about it as soon as possible, how to deal with the peace envoys sent by humans?
