Chapter 18 Heavy losses

After a busy night, there was no more corpse in the house, and there was not a drop of blood, and everything was as good as new.

Only the traces left by various weapons and the collapsed houses due to the impact can prove the terrible battle that took place last night.

Corpses can be buried and burned, blood stains can be washed and wiped away, and traces left by sword soldiers can be repaired, even collapsed houses can be repaired and rebuilt.

But the dead will never come back, and although the guards who patrol the palace are happy for the rest of their lives, there is a deep sadness in their eyes.

Although the Zhou family was lucky to win because of Zhou Yunfeng's rush back and the help of the Luo family, the Zhou family also suffered heavy casualties, which can be said to be a tragic victory.

Nearly 400 of the 700 Thunder Guards left behind in the Mansion died, more than 160 of the 250 Wind Guards left behind, and only 40 of the 64 Wind Thunder Guards remained.

And the most casualties were none other than the Fu Wei, with less than 30 of the 300 Fu Wei remaining.

And those who are lucky enough to survive are all injured, and the difference is only that the injuries are serious and light.

The Zhou family has a total of 3,000 Lei Wei, 5,000 Feng Wei, and more than 80 Feng Lei Wei.

But Lei Wei was not all in the Zhou Mansion of Yunlan City, there were seven hundred left in the Zhou Mansion of Yunlan City, five hundred people in the Zhou Mansion of Tianyun City, and the remaining 1,800 people were scattered in the Zhou family fief.

But in last night's battle, Lei Wei's losses exceeded one-tenth, which was the accumulation of decades since the establishment of the Zhou family.

Although there are a lot of Fengwei, their main task is to gather intelligence and find out information, so they are scattered all over the empire, even if there are people in other empires. Because of their nature, their strength ratio is not high, far inferior to Lei Wei.

In fact, Lei Wei is not the most heart-wrenching thing for Zhou Xiaozhan, the most heart-wrenching thing is the loss of the two dozen Feng Lei Wei.

The people of Fengwei, Lei Wei, and Fenglei Wei are all gifted orphans adopted by the Zhou family everywhere, and then they are trained according to their talents, and those who are outstanding in martial arts will be selected into Lei Wei, and the rest will enter Feng Wei.

And Feng Lei Wei is selected from Lei Wei, and it will be carried out every three years, and the most basic requirement for Lei Wei to be eligible to participate in the screening is that he must reach the Martial Emperor.

And the Lei Wei who can be selected to enter the Wind Thunder Guard, all of them are extremely talented, and they will all have the opportunity to impact the Martial Emperor in the future.

In the past forty or fifty years, Feng Lei Wei has only recruited more than eighty people, plus eleven Tie Xiong, a total of less than a hundred, and last night's battle lost more than twenty people.

Such a loss is not insignificant, Zhou Xiaozhan now doesn't know how to explain after Zhou Zhantian returns?

Of course, it is not only Zhou Xiaozhan, the head of the family, who is heartbroken, but also the head of Zhou Yunfeng.

Because when the Fengyun Mercenary Group participated in the battle, the battle had already taken place for a short time, so the sharpness and fighting spirit of those people had been consumed a lot.

The joining of the Fengyun mercenary group can be said to be a new force, and it is mainly based on the three guards, auxiliary operations, and the cooperation of the demon wolf, so the casualties are not very large, and only forty-nine people are lost.

Although this amount is not large, Zhou Yunfeng is heartbroken.

The more than 3,000 people of the Fengyun Mercenary Regiment were all carefully cultivated by Zhou Yunfeng, but now they have not yet entered the battlefield, and they have lost nearly fifty people.

These people all died because they saved the Zhou family, and Zhou Yunfeng didn't feel that their death was not worth it, but thought that they died too unjustly.

As a mercenary group, but a mercenary who is about to go to the battlefield, there is a possibility of death at any time, so there is nothing to be afraid of death.

But this time their death was because of the Yun family, and they didn't even figure out who they were fighting with until they died, they only knew that these people were the enemies of their leader.

That's all!

It's just that Zhou Yunfeng is glad that none of the wolf cavalry died, probably because of the deterrent effect of the demon wolf, those people did not exert their full strength when facing many wolf riders.

Although the wolf cavalry did not lose a single wolf, but there were many wounded, more than 160 demon wolves were injured, more than 30 were seriously injured, and five of them were fatally injured

Zhou Mansion, the hall "Dad, Grandpa Tie, how are they?" Zhou Yunfeng looked at Zhou Xiaozhan and said.

"Your Grandpa Tie and they were all injured in yesterday's battle, and as soon as the battle ended last night, they went into the library to heal their injuries, and your Grandpa Yao was protecting them. Zhou Xiaozhan sighed.

In this war, the Martial Emperor of the Zhou Mansion was Yao Li who was the least injured, and after that, Zhou Xiaozhan needed to sit in the Zhou family, so Yao Li went to protect Tiexiong and them.

"Dad, now that Lei Wei is killed and injured, and the defense in the mansion is empty, what arrangements does Dad have?" Zhou Yunfeng frowned.

"Dad has already arranged this matter! Early this morning, I have already sent a message to our Zhou family's fiefdom, and within two days, eight hundred Lei Wei will be mobilized, and three hundred Feng Wei will follow. Zhou Xiaozhan said.

"That's good! Although there are brothers from the Fengyun Mercenary Group in the mansion to help the palace guards, these mercenaries are still a lot worse than Lei Wei!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"Of course, three thousand Lei Wei is the result of the Zhou family's decades of work, if you only have been training for three or four years and the mercenary group catches up, then where will our Zhou family's face go?" Zhou Xiaozhan scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, hey, that's right!" Zhou Yunfeng touched his chin and said with a smile.

"In the morning, the Luo family sent a message that the rest of the Ma family was gone!" Zhou Xiaozhan said with a gloomy face.

Zhou Xiaozhan killed the Ma family, not just because the Ma family dragged the Luo family and prevented the Luo family from supporting the Zhou family.

Zhou Xiaozhan, as the head of the Zhou family, is naturally a shrewd person, Yun Tongchuan can quietly appear near Yunlan City with more than a thousand people, if no one answers, he will not believe it if he is killed.

And with the Ma family's behavior of blocking the Luo family, Zhou Xiaozhan naturally thought that all this was done by the Ma family to help Yun Tongchuan, that is to say, the Zhou family was almost not destroyed, it was all caused by the Ma family.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaozhan's hatred for the Ma family even exceeded his hatred for the Yun family.

"These bastards, they must have already arranged a back road, even if Ma Kun and they didn't die in the hands of the Luo family yesterday, I'm afraid they would have left Yunlan City afterwards!" Zhou Yunfeng said coldly.

"It must be so! Those people from the Ma family must have been received by Yun Tongchuan in advance and secretly escaped into the Congyun Empire!" Zhou Xiaozhan nodded.

"Don't think that you can escape in this way, I will definitely lead people into the Congyun Empire and find out the people of the Ma family and kill them all!" Zhou Yunfeng said with a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

This time the Zhou family is too dangerous, if it weren't for Zhou Yunfeng's timely return, I'm afraid the Zhou family would really be finished.

Every time he thought of this, Zhou Yunfeng was terrified, and of course he hated the Ma family, who played a key role in it.

As for the Yun family, the Zhou family and them already have a deep enmity like the sea, because of the Long family's affairs back then, the Zhou family had a feud with them, and later Zhou Zhantian inherited the Blue Dragon Legion, and also inherited the hatred between the Blue Dragon Legion and the Yun family.

In the past few decades, the Blue Dragon Legion under the control of the Zhou family and the Viper Legion under the control of the Yun family have been constantly fighting and fighting, and the enmity between the two families has become deeper and deeper.

If you want to understand the grudge between the Zhou and Yun families, there is only one possibility, that is, one of them will be destroyed by the other.

Other than that, there is no second possibility.

"There's still a troublesome thing now?" Zhou Xiaozhan said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yunfeng asked.

"The matter of the Luo family, they risked the danger of exterminating the clan to help our Zhou family this time, although there are other reasons, but after all, they supported our Zhou family, so it is necessary to visit and thank us. Zhou Xiaozhan said.

"Then just go, what's the trouble with this?" Zhou Yunfeng pouted.

In Zhou Yunfeng's opinion, this is not a matter at all, Zhou Xiaozhan can go for a trip.

"If it's normal, it's really not a big deal, I'll just go for it. But now the situation of the Zhou family, you are clear, I don't dare to leave the Zhou Mansion easily. Zhou Xiaozhan said in embarrassment.

Listening to Zhou Xiaozhan's words, Zhou Yunfeng also frowned, what Zhou Xiaozhan said is indeed a problem, now the only Martial Emperor powerhouse who can operate on the surface is Zhou Xiaozhan, he should have this kind of worry.

"What should I do then, do you have to wait for Grandpa Tie and their injuries to heal before going?" Zhou Yunfeng asked.

"That's not good! if you want to heal, if you want to heal, I'm afraid it will take half a month for the lightest injury, and it will be too insincere to go at that time!" Zhou Xiaozhan shook his head and said.

"What do you mean, Dad?" Zhou Yunfeng knew that Zhou Xiaozhan had been around for a long time, and he must have already had a plan, so he didn't bother to say anything, and asked directly.

"I see that the ancestor of the Luo family has a good impression of you, and you are my son again, I think you go with Hu'er, you should be able to represent our Zhou family. Zhou Xiaozhan smiled.

"I'll go with my second brother, Dad, your old man is not mistaken, right? Let our two little guys go to the door on behalf of the Zhou family to thank others!" Zhou Yunfeng exclaimed, obviously he didn't expect Zhou Xiaozhan to have this idea.

"Dad, I'm not mistaken!If it's another situation, it's really not enough for the two of you to go, but I think Luo Yun, the ancestor of the Luo family, has a good impression of you, and the Luo family is also clear about the situation of our Zhou family, so I think they don't care about this!" Zhou Xiaozhan said.

"Uh!" Zhou Xiaozhan said this, Zhou Yunfeng didn't know how to answer.

"Okay then, when are you going?" Zhou Yunfeng said with a wry smile.

"I think it's tomorrow! Dad will prepare the gift of thanks, but there are really not many things we can hold at home!" Zhou Xiaozhan was puzzled.

"Dad, don't pretend, don't you just want me to be a coolie and refine a little elixir! Why go around in such a big circle?" Zhou Yunfeng glanced at Zhou Xiaozhan and said.

"Ha Luha! You kid can see it!" Zhou Xiaozhan said with a smile on his face.

"Alas!" Zhou Yunfeng sighed, got up and walked out.

"Feng'er, where are you going?" Zhou Xiaozhan saw Zhou Yunfeng suddenly get up and leave, and asked hurriedly.

"Alchemy!" Zhou Yunfeng said without replying.

"If you want any materials, go to the warehouse to get them yourself, I've already said hello over there!" Zhou Xiaozhan said with a smile.
