"Commander, I am telling you this because I want you to understand that war is always cruel, absolute strength does not mean results, defeat is also inevitable, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, excessive self-blame will only make those soldiers who died because of you more worthless, and make those soldiers who are still alive feel more chilled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"You may not yet realize the deep hopes that the Coalition has placed on you, but when you reach my age one day, you will understand how much risk and expectation the Coalition has taken on to entrust this force and such a heavy task to you today. ”

Gongsun Yang stared at Duan Rui with a serious expression, his fists were still squeaky because his emotions had not completely calmed down, although he had never blamed Duan Rui from beginning to end, but he used his personal experience to teach Duan Rui a thought-provoking lesson.

"Elder Gongsun ......" If Duan Rui stood up just to show his respect to Elder Gongsun at the beginning, then now Duan Rui is standing there because of that unforgettable shock.

It turned out that Elder Gongsun had a similar experience to himself, and it turned out that this is the real cruelty of war, and those who have passed away and who are alive may live forever in guilt and self-blame.

"Commander, according to your orders, the specific casualties of this battle have been counted. At the same time as Duan Rui felt emotional, Zhao Xiong, who was wearing blood-colored armor, walked over from the other side of the hillside.

The armor on Zhao Xiong's body was originally silver-white, but his performance was particularly outstanding in the battle just now, probably inheriting his master's fighting style, and Zhao Xiong's posture was a little uncontrollable as soon as he fought.

Moreover, the cavalry regiment was also the most outstanding unit in this battle, and it was also the only team with zero casualties except for the special operations squad that did not participate in the battle.

The combination of high force and sophisticated equipment made the cavalry regiment the most terrifying existence on the battlefield after the battle entered the strategic counteroffensive stage, nearly half of the seventh-level demon beasts killed during the battle were the credit of the cavalry regiment, and many of the sixth-level demon beasts died under the bombardment of their heavy weapons.

"How about the casualties!" The previous figures were only assessed by Duan Rui based on the battle situation, because the corpses of too many soldiers were trampled and gnawed, and Duan Rui could not intuitively count the specific numbers.

"After this battle, the total number of deaths of the team was 849, of which 721 were members of the main attack team, 95 were killed by the bow and crossbow squad, 27 were killed by the crystal cannon team, and the remaining six were accidentally found and killed by the scout team while on a mission. ”

"Among them, the weapons of the crossbow squad members were also left after their deaths, and I have already assigned the laser crossbow to some of the weaker members of the main attack squad after obtaining the consent of the Momen disciples. ”

"In addition, after the battle, we recovered some weapons and armor parts, and we can refine new armor and weapons by returning to the furnace to refine them again. ”

"In terms of the corpses of the Demon Beasts, we have gained the most, thinking that even if there is no logistical supply from the coalition forces, it will be enough for our entire army to eat for several months, and the Demon Beast crystal nuclei have also harvested more than 30,000 pieces, most of which are the demon cores of the fifth-level and sixth-level demon beasts, and there are also several demon cores of the seventh-level demon beasts. ”

Zhao Xiong introduced to Duan Rui in detail the losses and gains of this battle, among which the number of demon cores and the number of demon beasts are not in contrast, because the strength of demon beasts will only appear in the body after reaching the fourth level, and not all fourth-level demon beasts have demon cores, and even some fifth-level demon beasts do not have demon cores in their bodies.

"Well, how is the condition of the wounded!" Duan Rui asked with a heartache on his face after hearing this.

"More than 1,800 people were seriously injured, and more than 4,000 people were lightly injured, most of them have now recovered their combat strength, and there is no major problem after eating the demon beast meat and healing pills, but the situation on the side of the seriously injured is a little tricky, and I am afraid that ninety percent of the seriously injured will not be able to fight in the next battle. Speaking of the wounded, Zhao Xiong's expression froze, and he shook his head helplessly and replied.

"Ninety percent! In this way, after this battle, our Volunteer Legion will lose one percent of its combat strength!" Although Duan Rui had already prepared in his heart, the sense of loss after getting the accurate number was still unavoidable, and the 30,000 soldiers left the Duanmen stronghold with great dignity, who knew that before they arrived at the main battlefield, they had already lost one percent of their combat strength, which was not a small blow.

"More than that, in addition to the attrition, the biggest problem we are facing now is the psychological quality and fighting mentality of the players. Zhao Xiong said to Duan Rui after some entanglement.

"What's the matter? Is everyone's military spirit unstable? Is it because it is difficult to forgive me for the mistakes I made before, so you have resistance and emotions?" Duan Rui asked subconsciously when he heard this.

"No! Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that if you don't have your amazing battlefield command ability this time, Commander of the Legion, you are afraid that the casualties will be several times that of now, and everyone is very convinced of you now. Zhao Xiong shook his head and explained with a lonely expression.

"Then why are you still unstable, is it fear or evasion?" Duan Rui asked with some puzzlement when he heard this.

"It's heartache! This problem has not yet been shown during the battle, but when the battle is over, when many team members see their former friends and relatives trampled and eaten by the demon beasts, the flesh and blood are blurred on the spot, and now I have arranged special manpower to take care of them, so as to prevent them from having thoughts of suicide when they wake up. ”

Zhao Xiong shook his head and sighed, with tears in his eyes, he pointed to a certain position on the other side of the hillside, and said bitterly.

"What!" Duan Rui almost jumped up on the spot when he heard this, he only counted the casualties before but ignored the hearts and family feelings, his volunteer army is a team composed of elites from various sects and different forces, many of them are from the same sect, they have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are very good, at this moment, the death of relatives and the absence of bones will not be able to withstand this kind of blow.

"How can this be!" Liu Fang covered her mouth and looked at Zhao Xiong with tears in her eyes, and cried softly in a choked voice.

"Alas!" Xiao Yan sighed softly, it was lying quietly in place from beginning to end, it had lived in the Demon Beast Forest since it was a child, and this kind of cruelty of life and death was far more than the flowers in the greenhouse like Duan Rui and Liu Fang had to experience.

"Damn war, abominable Slave Beast Sect, I, Duan Rui, swear to get rid of you with my own hands to comfort the souls of your deceased soldiers in the sky. Duan Rui's performance was much better than Liu Fang's, but the pain in his heart made Duan Rui's tolerance reach the limit of what he could bear.

At this moment, whether it is the Slave Beast Sect or the Demon Emperor, in Duan Rui's opinion, they are no different from the invaders of the Demon Clan, they are the same enemies, the same devils who regard human life as a mustard, and they can also sacrifice the lives of countless people for their own selfish interests, the same hateful ......
