Chapter 535 - 482 I Come for Peace
The chill winds of winter finally reached the Emerald River.
In previous years, by this time, the surface of the river would have already formed a layer of ice thick enough to walk on.
But this year was different; the Laine People put in a lot of effort, breaking ice and lighting fires, insisting that the Emerald River must not freeze over.
Now, chunks of shattered ice covered the river, giving the appearance of being frozen, but one step would plunge you straight into a hole.
Ange Watson was not just skilled in leading troops; he understood clearly that war between two countries was a contest of national strength, and currently, the Orcs were in a rather embarrassing predicament.
They were short of food.
As a kingdom with more mountains than plains and primarily reliant on agriculture, the Orcs were already in deficit when it came to food supplies.
With a massive number of able-bodied individuals drafted into the war effort, consuming a great quantity of food daily, the Orcs wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
Had they not seized a city from Laine, gaining some supplies, the war might have ended much sooner.
The Orcs were aware of this, which is why they recently managed to pull together a Mage Group and were casting spells from afar, attempting to freeze the Emerald River.
