The battle is finally over. It can be said that this is a great victory, because we still completely annihilated the regular army of the apostles with pure apostolic blood. The total annihilation of an apostolic army is a hearty victory that has not been seen in the human world for a long time. But are things really that good?

"Count war losses. "I don't know why, when I said this, my heart was so gloomy. Could it be because I knew that this time we were going to lose a lot of money?

Soon, the battle damage statistics of the Tiger King were already out. Again, this is due to the fact that this army has strict odds and an organized division of labor. However, the numbers that come out this time are not simple numbers for us, but cold reality. The Tiger King came to me, and it didn't seem like he was in a good mood. "Ma'am, are you sure you want to know about battle damage?"

I nodded, since the incident has already happened, what else is there not to face?" "You say, it's okay, losses are inevitable." ”

"Okay, that's it. "The previous battle damage was firmly remembered by the Tiger King. "Three archers were killed, eleven collapsed from frequent firing, and there was no way to pull the bowstring for about two days. The casualties of the crossbowmen were slightly greater, fifteen killed, all of whom were caught up by the apostles as they retreated. Seven were wounded, and they were injured for the same reason as the archers, and it was two days before they had to reshoot. ”

Originally, there were only about 200 crossbowmen, but after just this battle, they had already lost eighteen excellent marksmen. In addition, a full eighteen excellent shooters temporarily lost their combat capabilities. This is really not good news for us.

But the worse news is still to come: "None of the magicians have an accident, they just need a certain amount of time to recover their magic." But the heavy cavalry suffered some losses. Because after they have launched the impact, they will be able to fight in place. The heavy armor became their biggest obstacle at this time. ”

I took a deep breath: "You just need to tell me how much they've lost." ”

The Tiger King looked at me meaningfully and said, "Thirty-six were killed in battle. Seventeen were lightly and seriously wounded, two of whom were completely incapacitated and needed to be sent to the rear. ”

I'm flustered. How is this possible, why did these heavy cavalry suffer such heavy battle losses? Didn't they come out when the occupation was already in a stalemate, how could they still have such large battle losses? What is the reason for this? Are these apostolic soldiers really so strong? But why have I never found out?

"Do you still need to report the battle damage of the infantry?"

I nodded, and I knew that when you report the details, you usually leave the worst for last. And I was mentally prepared, I knew that the losses of these infantry were absolutely very heavy.

In the end, the Tiger King said: "One hundred and seventy-six infantry of all kinds were killed, more than seventy were slightly wounded, and thirty-four were seriously wounded. All thirty-four of them were to be quickly returned to the Immortal City for treatment. But some of them will definitely not be able to return alive, and the number of dead people will continue to rise. ”

My face turned pale in an instant. There were only 450 infantry in total, but the battle losses had already reached nearly 200! Even if only the soldiers who were killed in battle and the middle and upper ranks, there were 210 soldiers who had completely lost their combat effectiveness. But this is just the first tough battle!

Why are there such great losses? Is it because I miscalculated the gap between the apostles and the human soldiers? Or am I not the material to command the army to fight at all?" "Tiger King, you say, why do we lose so much? In just one battle, we have sacrificed nearly three hundred people, and there are dozens of people who are completely incapacitated. What's the reason for this?"

After signaling the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, the Tiger King said to me, "This is the cruelty of war. You're not wrong, we're not wrong. As long as it is war, it is impossible to be without casualties. We had been dealing with irregular forces that were much inferior to ours, so it was only natural that none of us were killed at that time. But this time we faced the most formidable enemy we've ever faced, and it was a miracle to be able to wipe them all out. What's more, we've only lost so many people. Know that the apostles are equal in number to us. In the past, if we wanted to annihilate about 1,000 apostolic soldiers, we often needed five or even ten times as many to do so. ”

I was stunned, I was at a loss. Why have I never been in such a situation? "What you say is true, are those apostles really that strong? But I've never met them. ”

The Tiger King shook his head: "Madam, you still haven't understood. It's not because the apostles who appear before us are weak, but because people like you, Lone, and Viren are too strong. So the apostles and we are simply not on the same plane. However, the average human being is not at all on the same level of strength as the apostles. Now, do you understand?"

So it was, so it was. In our eyes, these ordinary apostles are simply the targets of one-hit killing, but in the eyes of those apostles, human beings are also the objects that the apostles can plunder and kill. The gap between them is too big.

Perhaps the mages and ranged troops of the human race could consume the lives of the Apostles at long range, or perhaps the massive swarms of heavy cavalry could take the lives of hundreds of Apostles in a single charge. But once the mage and those ranged units are close to the apostles, let alone the apostles, along with the human infantry, they can cut down these ranged classes like vegetables. And the heavy cavalry, after losing their speed and shock power, they are completely live targets. It is an object that can be plundered at will.

As for the infantry, it is even more vulnerable. Without weapons, an apostle could even crush a squad of fifty human infantry. Even if you have a weapon, you can kill at least a third of them. However, I didn't know this before. I have never seen a war between humans and apostolic armies. And now only after experiencing it can I know the cruelty of reality.

At this time, the Tiger King comforted: "In fact, now these Denoma Empire's troops have performed very well, they only killed more than 200 people, but in exchange for those apostles, they were completely annihilated, and basically not many apostle soldiers escaped." It's really a big win. ”

Hehe, maybe from their point of view, it's a big win indeed. Originally, human soldiers were able to completely annihilate an equal number of apostle soldiers, which was simply impossible to happen before. Unless there is a pervert like Viren or Qi Tianci in the human army. They were even able to single-handedly wipe out hundreds of apostolic armies. However, humans like Qi Tianci and Viren are so rare in the human world. If the number of such humans reaches a thousand, even if it is five hundred, it can easily turn the tide of the war. But human powerhouses like them are too rare. More human armies can only watch as the fierce apostles slowly crush their own people and their own lives while the apostles' army is flanked.

I looked at the expressions of the Denomah Empire soldiers. It didn't seem to be sad, but it felt very calm. I am even very satisfied with the current state. What is the reason for this?" they were now very happy with the outcome of the battle. You have an extraordinary sense of hearing, and you think you should be able to hear the conversation between them. ”

I nodded: "They are all saying that this time the fight is too beautiful. But I don't understand why they think that, after all, they have killed so many soldiers. ”

"Lonely is still the same sentence, war, it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices. The Tiger King said solemnly: "You have nothing to blame yourself. Because you don't understand what the hell is the war that ordinary soldiers go through. ”

I grinned reluctantly, "Okay, I see." What should we do now, Tiger King, should we go back and join the large army, or should we continue to advance?"

"Our nature is reconnaissance, to provide security for the rear of the camp. The Tiger King thought for a moment and continued, "So, Lone thinks that what we should do now is to let some soldiers escort some seriously wounded people who can no longer fight back to their own camp or even the Immortal City, and then we will continue to complete our mission after being streamlined. What do you think, ma'am?"

I didn't answer the Tiger King directly, but I thought so in my heart. After all, if our forces were to return to the Formation, the Formation would be at any time vulnerable to the attacks of the Apostles. Therefore, the only thing we can do now is to continue to make a protruding sharp knife, otherwise, it will only be slowly cut by the apostles. Well, honestly, I don't like that to happen.

So, I made the decision to reduce all my troops to six hundred, and to send some soldiers to escort the seriously wounded back to their positions. At the same time, let the remaining Rangers expand their reconnaissance range, especially around the ranks of the seriously wounded, and fire flares as soon as they notice that something is wrong. In this way, both we and the army of our own formation can rush to the rescue as soon as possible. Although we all know that if those seriously injured really encountered some sudden attack, they may not wait for our rescue to arrive, and they will already be lucky.

After the downsizing, the size of our cavalry unit remained at about one hundred and fifty men, and several of the heavily armored knights still had wounds, but they were not too serious. The other public crossbowmen were one hundred and sixty or so combined. This is by far our unit with the fewest casualties outside of mages. Naturally, all the magicians remained, and we all needed them for the rest of our operations. As for the infantry, now there are only two hundred. With the addition of those magicians, we now have less than five hundred and fifty troops left.

But it's the best situation we've been in at the moment, and most of them have no injuries, and even if they do, they're just not too serious. After burning the bodies of all the soldiers who died in battle and resting for the day, we finally started our journey towards the City of Armor at dusk the next day. At this time, the Honjin may have already arrived at the place where we fought yesterday. I don't know how Sir Scar will feel when he sees the marks left behind by those battlefields. But I think maybe Sir Scar will feel like a good victory like the average soldier. Isn't that what happened?

I don't know what the soldiers of the Denomah Empire think, but the soldiers of the Denomah Empire also don't know what I think. Anyway, so far, they've admired my command, which makes me feel a little quiet. They all think I'm a good commander, and even though I'm from the undead, I don't stand in the way of them respecting me. But I had never been the commander of a large army before, and it was the first time I had encountered the death of two or three hundred men. But they all believe that I can do well in the future, and the same is true of the Tiger King.

Over the next two or three days, we again encountered waves of apostles or scattered apostles against us. But with the experience, I know what to do to get the most out of my losses. On the third day, they had been able to wipe out as many pure-blooded apostolic armies as before, and now, three days later, we had grown from five hundred and thirty or forty to about five hundred. But don't get me wrong, in the past three days, we have only less than ten killed, and a few of them have been wounded, but they were still specially escorted to the main formation. In the same face of an apostolic army of about a thousand men, they only really forgot a few people. And among them, I and the Tiger King basically didn't participate.

I was stunned, and so was the Tiger King. Why, we all have ample evidence that they were the regular armies of the apostles, but why are they so weak now, or have they grown? To be honest, we really don't know.
