Chapter 1680: The Degenerate
War is a game of nations.
The plane war is a game of life and death between two worlds.
Unlike the heroic legends in legendary novels, although individual strengths are clearly above average, in this multiverse, war is still a game of "attrition".
It’s not that individual strength is unimportant, but if you are strong enough, you will always encounter stronger opponents. Unless you are as powerful as the gods among the twelve pillars, you will still be just a pawn in the war between races and planes.
Chess pieces will naturally be consumed.
The war entered its ninth day. In fact, the Western coalition had already been fighting for ten days. When two waves of troops were replaced, the high-level combat forces of both sides had been replaced countless waves.
The number of quasi-gods and even gods who have died has exceeded double digits.
As far as casualties were concerned, the human side actually had a slight advantage, because there were no god-level casualties, and the number of quasi-gods killed in battle was much less than that of the enemy.
This is not only because the lower-level combat forces have a numerical advantage, which forces the higher-level combat forces to act in advance and bear an absolute disadvantage in intelligence and opponent selection, but more because they are always fighting in a foreign land, and the "world" is their biggest enemy.
Since gods cannot connect to the world, they naturally cannot rewrite the "rules" at will, nor can they grant "privileges (divine grace)" that require the support of the world.
The human side had the intelligence advantage, and the low-level combat forces had the numerical advantage relying on unmanned equipment. They used the grace of God to fight against opponents with restrained abilities, but they still lost. It was probably a bit unlucky. There are always accidents in war, and there are always errors and omissions in intelligence. Those strong men will also hide a lot of things, so mistakes are bound to happen.
However, we have taken the initiative and in many cases we can send people to rescue.
The human side's organization has a great advantage. The feudal lords always fight on their own, making it impossible for them to fight for colleagues with whom they have no friendship, not to mention the risky rescue.
Only when driven by a stronger lord do they behave like an organization. Individual supervisors always have their limits, but the places they cannot observe or the middle and lower levels that they cannot directly interfere with are still a mess.
"Since this is a clash between two races and two civilizations, then, of course, we have to consider the organizational strength of society."
Beyond everyone's previous expectations, the degree of organization and sociology, which were usually considered unimportant, actually affected everyone in the confrontation between top combat forces.
The other side of the feudal lords who were engaged in their own foreign wars was that they not only had to bear the cost of weapons and logistics themselves, but when they were injured and sought help from other medical experts, they also had to pay extremely expensive treatment fees.
This also means that they really can't afford the consumption. The use of other people's medical system capabilities requires consumption, so why should they offer you a low price or even for free?
On the human side, providing treatment to the wounded is basically common sense. It cannot even be counted as welfare, but is one of the most basic obligations.
The party with organizational and social advantages can transform national strength into combat power more effectively, maximize the value of combat power, and reduce losses.
"The exchange ratio was about 1.5 to 5."
The high-level combat power reached this number, which was still gratifying even with the intelligence and logistical advantages. This meant that three of our high-level combat power could replace ten of the enemy!
Then, as the battle goes on, our side will have more high-level combat power remaining and will naturally be able to win the battle.
A massacre of low-level combat forces by high-level combat forces? That generally won't happen, because when one side's high-level combat forces are really exhausted, the losing side should have surrendered.
".But their total combat power seems to have increased."
The good news is that we have achieved an advantageous exchange ratio, the bad news is that the enemies are getting more and more numerous. Although it is a joke from hell, it is the reality.
Unlike the new cosmic civilization on Earth which was still closed to the outside world (most areas) ten years ago, the Octopus occupies too many universes and worlds. When it is under pressure and has to draw on its combat power, more reinforcements will naturally come from the plane gate over there.
".It's still within the acceptable range."
As long as it’s a battle of consumption, no one will be afraid of whom.
This is always the Earth's home ground. As long as our casualties are far lower than those of the other side, the other side's advanced combat power will sooner or later have its own ideas.
The fighting will of the invaders' advanced combat forces is really weak. They have become accustomed to long lives and living like kings.
Fight for my life? Fight for my life in a foreign land that has nothing to do with me? Am I a little stupid?
In fact, the opponents with stronger fighting will are all the lords who have already occupied the land and become kings. However, since the intelligence about these guys had been leaked long ago, the human side has basically prepared several sets of tactics, and they often die very quickly.
"boom!"
There were explosions and roars everywhere, the ripples on the seismograph went up and down, and bursts of divine energy occurred one after another.
Lu Ping'an himself was a little dazed by the explosion. He had taken action several times in these days, but he was lucky and did not suffer any serious injuries. His resurrection ability seems to be the strongest among high-level professionals, and many followers feel relieved about it.
The deaths continued, and among the ranks of visitors from outside the domain, deserters finally appeared. When a quasi-god voluntarily disappeared from the battlefield, it meant that the time of blood collapse seemed to be just around the corner.
In fact, there have always been sporadic deserters, and on both sides, but the previous fugitives were often executed on the spot. This time the fugitive is quite heavyweight, and no one can stop him from leaving.
This is undoubtedly a very bad scene for visitors from outside the domain.
During the battle on the second day, the human side discovered that the other side had lost 30% of its troops. Apparently, someone had escaped overnight, and the other side's organizers had not stopped them.
But when the human side was overjoyed and ready to take back the lost territory in one go, the decision makers of the other side could no longer sit still.
"Ugh, it hurts."
An inexplicable pressure suddenly swept across the battlefield. Even Longyue Island, which was still dozens of kilometers away, was under inexplicable pressure.
The island dropped more than one meter, and some areas were directly flooded. The most outrageous thing was that all this was not done by the opponent's main force, but was simply a leakage of power.
".Is this the God of Gods?"
At that moment, Lu Ping'an seemed to understand something.
His "Eye of Truth" saw a "sun", a huge sun that was far more powerful than the gods in the sky.
This is the hidden danger for humans.
Facing the existence of rule-level gods, humans can show equal combat power, but for a transcendent civilization like Octopus, how should they deal with those legendary beings that transcend gods, the so-called "eleventh level"?
"He is interfering with the world. The sea level has risen by one meter. There are floods all over the world! The icebergs are beginning to disintegrate. He is powerful enough to destroy the world by himself!"
