Chương 527: Chapter 478: New Era, Old Grudges_3

The Orcs and Laine's battlefield finally entered the "dirty war" state, where both sides knew each other too well, aware that sending troops was futile, yet compelled to act regardless.

The war was no longer about tactics and bravery but had devolved into a mere tug-of-war of attrition, a test of who would falter first.

This type of attritional warfare was the most eroding to morale and spirit, and after a month, both sides simultaneously chose to cease hostilities temporarily.

There was no mutual proclamation, but the Orcs no longer sent out troops to attempt crossing the river, and Laine ceased sending warships to bombard the Orc docks from afar.

The weather was getting ever colder, and everyone needed a break from the fighting.

Perhaps, only when the river surface froze over would the two parties engage in another major battle.
