437 Broken muscles and bones
As the battle loss statistics of Silent City were sent in, the battle loss statistics of other legions were also sent to the hands of the legion commanders and mercenary group commanders one after another, and the main account, which was originally noisy, was eerily silent for a while.
In the silence, everyone's faces slowly deteriorated with the movement of their eyes on the statistical table, although everyone knew the outcome of this battle, but when the data of battle damage was sent to everyone, the heartache caused by the huge loss was unavoidable.
And those who were still a little dissatisfied with the distribution of prisoners also put out the idea of arguing, and some people were more direct, just said "sorry" and left the main tent.
"It seems that our losses are relatively low."
After looking around in the main tent, the faces of the people in Silent City were also a little better, and they were distressed, but after finding that others were even more distressed, the heartache in their hearts seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
The Shadow Blade, who came to report the data, also whispered an explanation in everyone's ears, and everyone knew that the sacrifice behind the victory that originally seemed to be brilliant was so huge.
Originally, after the White Earth Comprehension Division, the total number of coalition troops exceeded 170,000, which can be described as a sea of people, and after the victory of the battle, the size of the coalition army was still close to 150,000, and the high-level leaders of Silent City thought that everyone's losses should not be large, but after listening to Shadow Blade's report, they knew that the more than 20,000 people who died represented more than one-eighth of the coalition army.
In this battle, only the elite soldiers of more than 80,000 people can really exert their combat effectiveness, and the remaining ordinary troops of nearly 100,000 people can only be counted as auxiliary soldiers and logistics troops.
In the final decisive battle, these regular troops did not join the battle, but only formed a second layer of encirclement outside the encirclement, which was regarded by everyone as a last resort, once the encirclement formed by the elite troops in front was broken by the believers, these ordinary soldiers could also slightly block the cultists who broke through, and buy some time for the elite troops who came to support from other directions.
Therefore, the more than 20,000 soldiers who died in this decisive battle were the elite forces of all kinds of legions, in other words, the entire crusade coalition army was wiped out a quarter of the main force in one battle!
Not to mention that among the surviving soldiers, there are also some soldiers who are seriously injured and dying, and a large part of the soldiers who are disabled for life, if you count these soldiers who are seriously injured and dying and severely disabled and can no longer go to the battlefield, the entire crusade coalition has lost at least half of its elite forces!
"Half ......"
Everyone smacked their lips and looked down at the loss of Silent City, and suddenly felt that they were already very lucky.
"Anyway, let's decide on the compensation plan first, although we have relatively light losses among the major legions, but for Silent City, it can be regarded as a bone-breaking."
Hunter sighed, but his eyes kept staring at Al, there was no way, who let the economy of Silent City be controlled by El now.
Al was stared at by Hunter, and glared back at him directly, and said, "The compensation plan of your demon army is as before, just go directly to Old Devin when the time comes, as for the compensation of the Silent Blade......"
Speaking of which, Al also had a headache.
Due to the overall strength of the demon army, everyone is a great master who has completed three awakenings, and there are two marksmen in Sina and Eichna to assist, so the loss in this decisive battle is not large, only two people were sacrificed by the cultists because they rushed too far forward, and one was seriously injured and dying, and there was only one person who was seriously disabled.
Of the remainder, only about two dozen were seriously injured, and all of them were recoverable, as for minor injuries...... For the soldiers of the Demon Army, a minor injury is also considered an injury?
So in the final count, Hunter, the leaders of the demon army, only need to take out a small amount of money to pay the soldiers' compensation.
But the situation with the Silent Blade is not so easy.
Compared to other coalition forces, as well as the armies sent by the native lords of Skyrim Province, the Silent Blade is definitely a very strong force, whether in terms of numbers, average strength, or equipment, the level of the Silent Blade is much higher than that of the elite troops sent by other territories, not to mention those assembled from mercenaries and mercenary soldiers.
Especially in terms of equipment, although the Silent City side "only" spent more than two million gold coins, but all the money bought was raw ore, whether it was smelting metal or casting weapons and equipment, it was all completed by the casting of Silent City, and it also used a variety of new metal formulas researched by the equipment team of the research institute, and the value of the entire Silent Blade equipment was at least a hundred times the value of the original ore!
In other words, the equipment listed in the Silent Blade, even the most ordinary soldier-level equipment, is worth more than 20,000 gold coins!
If you count the "intellectual property" of the research institute, even if you quadruple this number, it will be considered a "fair price", so that in terms of equipment, even the Ruby Legion from the imperial capital is slightly inferior to the Silent Blade.
The well-equipped equipment did ensure the survival rate of the Silent Blade soldiers, and in today's daytime Armageddon, the number of Silent Blade casualties was only 768, less than 1 in 10, far below the average death rate, and the number of seriously wounded, dying and severely disabled soldiers was only 327, also less than 1 in 10 on average.
But Rao is like this, and it is enough to make Al feel distressed.
In terms of pensions and subsidies, a total of one thousand and ninety-five copies need to be issued, if calculated according to the level of the original demon army, counting the amount of subsequent payments, each copy of three hundred and twenty gold coins, a total of more than three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, even if it is a one-time pension, there are about two hundred and twenty-two thousand gold coins, if the Silent City is asked to come out with this money, it will not be able to kill El .
If the old Dai Wen's Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce is allowed to pay on his behalf, it will also affect both the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce and the Silent City, after all, the net profit of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce is only more than 300,000 gold coins per month, such as today's dragon rebellion in various parts of the province, which has also affected the profits of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce and increased the cost, maybe now the profit of a month is not enough to pay a pension.
What's more, Silent City also needs the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce to deliver various materials to ensure the normal operation of the city, although there is no need to build new equipment now, but it still needs metals and raw ore to repair the equipment damaged in this decisive battle.
And in other aspects, especially in the research institute, there is still a need for a lot of experimental materials, which are all long-term plans, and many experiments are not just stopped.
In this way, Silent City still needs the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce to deliver about 100,000 gold coins of various materials every month, and then throw away the various expenses of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce in other aspects, and the amount that can be used to issue pensions is only less than 100,000 gold coins.
"One hundred thousand...... 350,000 ......"
After a simple calculation, Al's expression became even more sad.
It's still anti-theft because it's not finished.,Ask for a light spray......
When Sean woke up again, it was already noon the next day, he was lying on the bed in the guest room, staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes, his mind was blank, and it was a long time before he was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and looked at the young priest carrying the kettle in a daze.
"Hangover tea, sir."
"Oh, thank you."
It took three seconds for Sean to react to the meaning of 'hangover tea', and thanked him in a hurry.
"You're welcome."
The young priest poured Sean a whole cup of hangover tea, and when Sean had finished drinking it, he filled it up before turning around and leaving the room.
"Hiss~"
Sean rubbed his head, the hangover made him weak, although his head didn't hurt, it was also empty, and it took longer to think about anything than before.
Squeak~
The wooden door of the guest room was pushed open again, but it was the fat man Pei Di who walked in energetically, staring at Sean with a mocking expression: "Hey, how is it, the hangover feels good." ”
"Nice fart! You're not drunk before me! ”
Sean sneered at each other without hesitation, glaring at Pei Di viciously before speaking: "Hurry up and help me recover, don't tell me that you don't know how to do magic skills." ”
"Hey, you're so boring."
Pedi shrugged his shoulders with boredom on his face, chanted a few words silently, and waved his scepter, and a soft light enveloped Sean.
When the light dissipated, Sean's hangover state was dispelled, leaving only a strong feeling of hunger.
"Tsk, the effect is good, do you have anything to eat?" Sean exclaimed and asked again.
"Hey, it's already past lunch time at the temple, but I've got some for you."
Pedi said, throwing a cloth bag on the table next to the bed, Sean pulled the cloth bag and opened it, only to find that there were only two flatbreads inside, and looked at Pedi with a little dissatisfaction: "That's it?" ”
"Do you still want to have a big meal?" Pedi gave him a blank look, "The lunch at the temple wasn't hearty in the first place. ”
"Well, forget it, it's not bad to have this."
Sean took a bite of the dough hard, but his eyes stared at Pedi fiercely, and Pedi felt a chill when he saw it, and he laughed twice and quickly escaped from the room.
While eating the bread, Sean habitually opened the system interface, flipped through his personal attributes, and opened the task interface, but found that there was an extra golden task in the task interface at some point.
"Ahem, epic quest?"
Sean almost choked to death and coughed violently, but the violent cough couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Epic quests! How can it be!
He, Sean, trainee mage Sean, a rookie who has just debuted, with its current strength, even if it completes an advanced task, it may die, is the system crazy? Or did you see that he was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to kill him, and even issued him an epic mission?!
In the tasks released by the system, the difficulty from low to high is novice, ordinary, advanced, legendary, epic and world tasks, the difficulty of the task will be assessed according to the player's level, the novice task is used to guide the player to adapt to the world, as long as the player does not comic or die, it can also be successfully completed, and from the beginning of the advanced task, it is not easy for the player to get it, if you want to complete these tasks, strength, heritage, luck, all are indispensable.
And for a rookie like Sean, who has just started the game, neither strength nor background is enough to support them to complete an advanced task, and it is more likely that they will die on the way to complete the task, not to mention the epic task with unusually high difficulty.
Looking at the [accepted] marked at the back of the epic task, Sean had the urge to jump off the building, what did he do last night to accept an epic mission?!
[Mission: Temple in the Void]
[Mission Level: Epic]
[Description: What exactly does the mysterious temple in the wilderness represent?] Is it death or chance? Go explore, boy! As long as you don't die, the protagonist template is yours! 】
[Quest Rewards: A lot of resources, a lot of experience, first- and second-order employment items, mysterious inheritance]
Shame as always!
Sean spit out viciously, there was no useful information in the entire mission description, but the task rewards made him very excited, especially the first- and second-order inauguration props, which correspond to the official and high-level occupations of the Kasura Empire, which happened to be what he needed next.
As for the mysterious inheritance, although he is also excited, compared to the difficulty of the epic mission, Sean does not want to take too much risk.
(Since you've received the task, why don't you just try it, it's a big deal...... )
Sean glanced at the lower right corner of the quest panel, and 11 quest points was his greatest confidence.
After another night's rest at the temple, Sean, Fat Pedi and two young priests left Stonebridge in a carriage and drove into the wilderness south of the city.
Now that the beast tide has passed for four days, many adventurers near Shiqiao Town have noticed the strangeness of the wilderness south of the city: the beasts that originally roamed the wilderness south of the city seem to be gone?
When the news first appeared, the adventurers in the tavern were just drunken gibberish, but as more and more "forerunners" brought back valuable loot from the wilderness south of the city, the entire tavern in Stonebridge Town blew up!
All the adventurers threw down their wine glasses, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tavern, and even many of them "forgot" to pay for the wine, and the owners of several taverns in anger raised the price of the wine by two percent.
At this moment, adventurers can be seen everywhere in the wasteland south of the city, and the entire outskirts of the wasteland have been looted, and the medicinal herbs, scattered ores, and the inheritance of unknown unlucky ghosts have all turned into the wealth of the lucky ones.
Of course, there are some unlucky guys, after all, it is only animals that can migrate with the beast tide, and some dangerous plants are still here, waiting for the careless guys to take the bait, not to mention some natural traps, which will quietly disappear into this world if they are not careful.
However, the temple naturally has a more detailed map, marking dangerous plants and traps in a huge part of the wasteland south of the city, as for the territory of the powerful beasts on the map? The beasts are all gone, so what's the matter?
The two young priests who followed Pedi had seen the ruins appear in the first place, and the three of them confirmed each other, avoiding the dangerous markings on the map, and the group reached the place where the ruins appeared, a funnel-shaped basin.
But when Sean had just entered the confines of the basin, a voice stunned him.
