Chapter 279: A War for Destruction and Killing
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the entire battlefield fell completely silent.

All living beings were shocked by the powerful slash of divine light and shadow just now.

The dwarves at the gap in the city wall, whether they were ordinary dwarf warriors or extraordinary high-level dwarf generals, all turned into blood foam and disappeared on the spot under the energy slash.

The dwarf next to him also had his pupils shrink suddenly when he saw this, and he couldn't help revealing fear.

This is the power of the gods, what a terrifying power!
"My Lord, your devout believers need you!"

"We can't win. It's impossible for us to win with our strength. The alien god has already arrived. Only when His Majesty the God arrives as well, can we stop him."

"Help, I don't want to die!"

The terrifying slash directly destroyed some dwarf warriors with fragile minds, almost causing them to collapse.

What's worse, some of them simply knelt on the ground, with no intention of fighting anymore, and kept praying to the dwarf god, hoping that he would also come and protect his devout believers.

However, the dwarf god Ringo in the divine realm, although he also noticed the abnormality here, had no intention of sending down his incarnation.

Whether He admits it or not, there is a level difference between the two sides, and it is a big level difference.

The gap between demigod and true god is far greater than that between sanctuary and demigod. He is not one of those big guys who can fight against true gods at the demigod stage.

With His strength, as long as He dares to come, there is only one possibility.

The avatar was destroyed.

Rather than suffering unnecessary losses, it is better to concentrate our forces to defend the city at the rear, and then use the geographical advantage to see if we can win.

As for the people living in the border cities, they can only leave it to their fate.

"Attack and destroy this city!"

The phantom of the orc god looked at the dwarves on the city wall, as if he saw the dwarf gods far away in the divine realm through them. After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party did not come, Paul Hammer felt a little disappointed, and then gave an attack order to the orc army below.

After completing its mission, His divine shadow instantly broke into countless shining fragments, falling like rain and merging into the bodies of the orc warriors, helping them recover from their injuries.

"Roar!!!"

"Kill! Destroy this city, and leave no one alive!"

"Follow the oracle of my Lord and destroy this city!"

The orc army, which had just witnessed the majestic figure of the god, was now very enthusiastic and became extremely fanatical. The depression that had just been blocked by the steel city was instantly swept away.

Led by the orc general, the brave orc army launched an attack forward. They rushed into the steel city along the gap.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Blast them to death!"

"Don't be afraid. For the sake of the Dwarf God and the Empire, stop them!"

The dwarf general reacted immediately, and quickly issued an attack order, and shouted loudly: "The alien god has disappeared, and only a group of savage orcs are left. My Lord's most pious and brave warriors, the time has come to fulfill your original promise! Kill these savage invaders and defend the majesty of my Lord!"

The dwarf warriors woke up as if from a dream, suppressed the fear in their hearts, turned the magic cannons, and launched a fierce attack on the mighty orc army.

There was a constant roar like thunder.

A horrific explosion sounded in the orc army, flesh and blood flew everywhere, limbs were broken, and screams rang out one after another. These ordinary orc warriors, even though they possessed incomparable physiques among those of the same level, could not withstand the bombardment of the cannons.

Their recovery ability, which far exceeded that of normal creatures, had no effect. Any orcs that were bombarded were either crippled or died.

They were not given any chance to recover.

The orc army's offensive was temporarily suppressed by the dwarfs' counterattack, but it was of no use because the gap had already been opened.

Just a little artillery fire could not stop the advance of the orc army.

Stepping on the blood of their comrades and over their corpses, the orc warriors moved forward fearlessly and bravely.

The war beasts were the first to rush into the gap. They roared and rushed forward with all their might. The dwarf heavy-armored warriors who were urgently deployed were directly knocked away.

"For the glory of our Lord, stop them!"

"Everything for His Majesty, everything for the Empire!"

The dwarf heavy armored corps guarding here are also first-class elite. Facing the attack of the war beasts, they did not panic at all.

They roared, brandished their hammers and axes, and headed straight for the charge of the war beasts.

Weapons flashing with blood and energy slashed at the war beast, cutting into the gaps, turning its flesh and blood over, causing it to howl in pain.

Even a raging war beast could not withstand such a blow. After a while, it fell to the ground and bled profusely.

However, this was of little use, as one war beast after another still rushed in, relying on their huge size, superb defense, and unbridled attack, they directly broke up the formation of the Dwarf Heavy Armored Legion, and more and more Orc warriors also rushed in.

They all went into berserker mode, rushing towards the dwarf warriors and engaging in combat with them, widening the gap and allowing more and more companions to come in.

The Sky Legion, which was originally stranded in the distant sky, also launched an attack at this moment. Holding sharp blades, they pounced directly on the dwarf warriors on the city wall and entangled with them.

There were also orc light infantry riding on giant eagles, coming to the top of the city wall, then dropping down and completing the landing directly.

While the other party had no time to pay attention, the orc commander mobilized the blood and energy of the army. The scarlet blood rushed forward like a tide, and like a vine, it climbed up the city wall and finally formed an inclined ramp.

Under the leadership of the ninth-level legion commander, the Orc Cavalry Corps roared and rushed forward directly under the bombardment of artillery fire.

For a time, the entire steel city was engulfed in war.

In a sense, this main border city of the Dwarf Empire has been completely captured.

After all, even the dwarven gods have abandoned them.

Support from the empire is even less likely.

After losing the most important city wall and being unable to rely on the power of the city defense equipment, the dwarf troops they urgently mobilized were simply not enough to defeat the long-prepared orc army.

The two sides are not on the same level in terms of army size or quality of soldiers.

If a head-on battle took place on the plains, it would be no exaggeration to say that the dwarf army in this city would be easily defeated.

And that is indeed the case.

With the influx of the orc army, the gap became larger and larger. In just a few hours, the dwarf army was completely defeated.

"Brave orc warriors, we have won! We have once again defended the glory of the Orc God!" The orc general chopped off the dwarf leader's head with one knife, looked at the fleeing dwarf warriors, bathed in blood, raised the ferocious head, and shouted loudly.

The orc warriors immediately cheered loudly, and their battle cries were like the roar of thunder, shaking the earth.

They waved their weapons and celebrated:

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"With this victory, I dedicate it to the great orc god!"

They were all bathed in blood, and the ground was littered with corpses, some of their enemies, and some of their companions, but at this moment they were shouting fanatically, extremely excited.

"My Lord is watching you, Orc warriors, go and fulfill my Lord's oracle!" The voice of the Orc commander reached the ears of all the Orc warriors: "Destroy this city!" It was extremely cold.

So, a group of orc warriors cheered and rushed forward, starting a new round of killing.

The orc warrior did not show any mercy just because the dwarf in front of him had no power to resist.

City massacres were extremely common during the Orc Empire's conquests.

Due to their racial characteristics, the orc warriors didn't think there was any problem.

They have been like this since ancient times.

With the enemy, they only have two options.

Conquer or kill.

And now that His Majesty the God has issued the oracle of extermination, naturally the only option is killing.

It just so happened that they were also unhappy with these dwarves who believed in foreign gods.

In addition to the border city named Hamina, other border cities of the Dwarf Empire were also engulfed in flames of war.
The well-prepared orc army caught the Dwarf Empire off guard. Even though the dwarf gods urgently issued an oracle to let them prepare, the number of troops they could mobilize in a short period of time was still too small.

Of course, there is another reason besides this.

The orc gods on the opposite side died, and the dwarf god they believed in did not show up despite the believers' prayers.

For a time, the Dwarf Empire suffered heavy losses. Not only did many border cities fall, but a large number of Dwarf people were also massacred.

With the help of Paul Hammer, the main force of the Orc army marched straight into the heart of the Dwarf Empire, burning, killing and looting along the way. It can be said that they were completely driven to kill.

In just a few months.

More than two million dwarves died at the hands of the orc army, and the Dwarf Empire was littered with corpses.

Even for a behemoth like the Dwarf Empire, this is a huge loss.

And this is just the casualties; the losses in other areas are even more outrageous.

Especially in terms of faith, as the Orc God has appeared repeatedly, while the Dwarf God has not been seen for a long time, the faith of the Dwarf Empire has begun to waver.

Some of the imperial subjects, who were not very pious to begin with, even began to question the dwarf god.

Although the voices of doubt are not loud yet, they have already begun to take shape.

It is somewhat abnormal for such voices questioning the gods to appear in a divine power that is mainly composed of dwarves and has been operating for hundreds of years and has a unified regime.

Don't think too much, there must be something fishy going on.

And the truth is indeed so, this matter is related to the Orc Empire.

How to kill a god who is deep in the religious forces and has hundreds of millions of followers?

Many players have thought about this question.

The conclusion then is to first eliminate the devout believers of the gods, then support a group of pseudo-believers to muddy the power of faith they accept, and finally kill them, causing them to completely perish with no possibility of recovery.

From the actions of the orc army, it can be seen that this time Paul Hammer is really determined to kill Ringo.

Kill believers and confuse faith.

No matter when it happens, for believers in gods, it is a plan to tear each other apart and create mortal enemies.

The ministers of the Dwarf Empire were extremely furious at the atrocities committed by the Orc army.

Dwarves have a strong character to begin with, and they have mostly been successful in the past, so they have never suffered such injustice.

For a time, the entire empire was outraged and people wanted to mobilize all their elite legions to go directly to the front line to fight the orc army to the death.

But they can't do it.

Ringo was naturally furious about Paul Hammer's actions, but there was nothing he could do. He had to swallow his anger temporarily and even had to suppress the subjects of the Dwarf Empire to prevent them from acting impulsively and avoiding unnecessary casualties.

The gap between true gods and demigods is too big.

If he attacks rashly and is caught, not only will the dwarf army be killed, but even he himself might perish.

He couldn't afford to lose.

Another two months passed.

Nearly 200,000 orc troops besieged a dwarf main city with great momentum. The besieged orc warriors would come forward and shout from time to time, mocking the dwarves' weakness.

The location of this city, even in the entire territory of the empire, is already considered the heartland of the Dwarf Empire.

If the attack speed was normal, it would definitely not be possible to hit so fast, but this time, Paul Hammer came here to cause destruction, so naturally he didn't have so many concerns.

To put it simply, it means killing but not burying.

In addition, there were enough mobilized orc warriors and various large storage props, which greatly reduced the army's logistics work. With the combination of various factors, the orc army encountered almost no obstacles and advanced smoothly into the hinterland.

"Warriors, our homeland is behind us. We cannot retreat no matter what."

The city defender, Hobert, was a ninth-level warrior. He was one of the few Saint-level warriors in the Dwarf Empire. He raised his war hammer and shouted to the warriors around him:
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Inspired by him, the other dwarf warriors also shouted:

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Hobert continued to shout: "For the Dwarf God! For the Dwarf Empire!"

The morale of the warriors instantly reached its peak. The eyes of every dwarf warrior were filled with firm will, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

The atrocities of the orc army did shock some dwarves, but at the same time it also blocked the retreat routes of all dwarves.

Surrender means death, and fighting to the death also means death.

In that case, why not fight an enemy before you die?

At least that way the death would be more meaningful.

While Hobert was mobilizing the dwarf army, the orc army outside the city advanced again and began to prepare for the third siege.

"For the glory of the Orc God! Charge!"

"Everything for Your Majesty!"

Shouting loudly, the war beast launched a charge, followed closely by the orc warriors.
