Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 23 Casualties

On Sulian's side.

Hearing the rumbling sound coming from afar, and confirming the appearance of a large number of magical reactions and battle qi reactions through his spiritual perception.

He couldn't help but stand up from the branch of the tree. Looking at the beast tide below that was still charging but with a明显 decreased number, he felt a little more at ease.

"It should be alright now." Sulian muttered to himself.

According to my perception, there should be around ten thousand people. It seems that grandpa directly dispatched three fully loaded magical motor vehicles.

The 17th Army Corps has joined forces with the original garrison here. Coupled with the militia teams and guard teams of each village and town, they are defending and counterattacking with the magic arrays of the teachers from the academy as the center. With the arrival of the magician students from

the Polar Star Academy later and the cooperation of various area magic attacks, it will basically be over.

For the remaining part, as long as the warrior students arrive and cooperate with the remaining troops to clean up the scattered magical beasts.

As for the elite beast tide following the eighth-level magic disaster...

By the time those fourth and fifth-level magical beasts are condensed, the nearby powerful individuals should have arrived.

At that time, even if there are one or more eighth-level magical beasts that will be finally condensed, they will also be eliminated.

After all, in the final analysis, these are just natural magical beasts born in a short time during the magic disaster. There is still a big difference between them and the natural magical beasts that are condensed and born over a long period of time.

Thinking like this, Sulian completely relaxed.

"Help the army in the battle, and finally meet up with the commander."

"The commander of the 17th Army Corps seems to be..."

"Tuttle Tommy, right?"

Sulian pulled out two swords and muttered to himself.

At the same time, he jumped down from the big tree and directly killed two second-level magical beasts. While being discovered and provoking the surrounding magical beasts, he also directly rushed towards Anglai Town where the army was located.

He didn't care about getting injured now. Anyway, his purpose was just to meet up with the army.

It might even be better to get a little injured.

After all, he has to go back to the academy later. If he goes back without a single injury after experiencing the eighth-level magic disaster alone, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion.

...

Subsequently.

The beast tide in the initial stage of the magic disaster, under the fierce resistance of the 17th Army Corps of the Kingdom, held on until the support of the 15th Army Corps arrived. With the assistance of the powerful magicians dispatched by the academy, the area magic attacks targeting the large

groups of magical beasts quickly reduced the overall pressure.

The nearby church also immediately dispatched and coordinated a large number of priests to arrive, actively rescuing the injured soldiers and soothing the residents.

Some members of the newspaper guild who caught wind of it originally came, but were stopped on the grounds of a military operation.

Then came the problem of the elite beast tide.

The spread of the known situation was not very clear, but the more credible version was that the powerful individuals living in seclusion nearby and the dean of the Polar Star Academy and others joined forces and directly went to the source of the magic disaster. They suppressed, channeled, or dispe

rsed the chaotic and huge amount of magical elements by some means.

They also eliminated all the fourth and fifth-level magical beasts that had just been condensed and prevented the subsequent condensation of the eighth-level magical beasts and so on.

There was also a more outrageous rumor version, which was that there was actually a ninth-level magic dragon deep in the Saji Forest. It was very dissatisfied with the magic disaster in its own territory, so it also helped out.

It's not clear how much of this is true and how much is false. In any case, before the details are officially announced, the nearby residents know that they are already safe.

Then came the issues of casualty statistics and post-disaster reconstruction.

...

Around ten o'clock at night.

The magic disaster broke out around three o'clock in the afternoon. The army that arrived after four o'clock had to fight intensively for five hours before they could rest. At this moment, they were already cleaning up the battlefield.

Most of the magical beasts had been eliminated. The scattered magical beasts were not something that the severely wounded and damaged corps could deal with. After all, the soldiers in the army were ordinary people in the final analysis. Even if they had practiced battle qi, at most they were only at

the intermediate level. Once they reached the high level, they were basically no longer ordinary soldiers.

So the subsequent task of eliminating the scattered magical beasts at night was handed over to the warrior students of the Polar Star Academy.

The 17th Army Corps, which had suffered relatively heavy casualties and was originally from the nearby area, temporarily stationed in place. The 15th Army Corps that came for support had relatively fewer casualties. After counting the casualties and simply cleaning up the bodies on the battlefield,

they took the magical motor vehicle and returned to their original garrison point.

"Lord Tuttle, the casualty report has been statistically summarized after being reported by each team." The secretary officer came into the tent with a heavy heart, holding the casualty report.

"Read it." Tuttle said.

"Yes!"

"Due to the hasty march, there were situations where soldiers of all arms did not have all their equipment properly equipped. Especially, the heavy infantry lacked heavy metal equipment and were at the forefront. The number of soldiers killed in action was 372, and all the remaining soldiers were wo

unded."

"The number of soldiers killed in action among the other infantry arms was 1,223, the number of seriously wounded was 546, and the number of slightly wounded was 2,728."

"There were no deaths among the archers and magicians. However, because some archers took the initiative to move forward, 25 of them were seriously wounded and 57 were slightly wounded."

"Among the knights, 13 Terry (third-level) knights were completely destroyed, and 29 were severely damaged. 37 Deva (second-level) knights were completely destroyed, and 56 were severely damaged. Only a few mechanized cavalry pilots were slightly wounded, and the rest were unharmed."

The secretary officer closed the report and lowered his head silently.

"The total number of soldiers killed in action is 1,595..." Tuttle let out a slight sigh.

Clearly living in a stable country, a magic disaster had led to the death of so many soldiers!

Although the 15th Army Corps arrived later, after all, they participated in the battle for three hours, so there must still be some casualties.

Adding the militia teams and guard teams, perhaps...

The number of people who sacrificed for this might have reached as many as two thousand!

Tuttle couldn't help but clench his fists, but he held back his emotions from bursting out.

"Report the data to the Central Military Department."

"And order the soldiers to step up the night patrols in the villages to prevent the scattered magical beasts from launching night attacks and causing secondary casualties. At the same time, order some soldiers to escort the severely wounded and slightly wounded soldiers to take the magical motor veh

icle back to Kexufuluo City for timely treatment, so as not to put too much pressure on the priests of the nearby church."

"And... what about the casualties among the residents? It's not large, right?"

Tuttle finally asked with a complicated and even somewhat cautious mood.

"Not large!" The secretary officer also showed a little joy.

"One could even say it's very small. Except for a small number of people who lived alone in the wild or those who were farming and hunting at a relatively long distance, basically no one was injured." The secretary officer said.

"That's good." Tuttle let out a sigh of relief.

Although the losses were heavy, at least they had succeeded!

...

Just then.

"Report, there is a young high-level soldier holding a secret order from Prince Ersha who requests an audience with General Tuttle." A guard outside the tent reported.

Someone from Prince Ersha? Tuttle was taken aback.

Did he arrive by taking the newly arrived magical motor vehicle?

"Let him in." Tuttle said.

"Yes!"

Immediately, Sulian, wearing a black cloak and a large hood, entered the tent under the guidance of a guard.

The guard then withdrew.

"May I ask who you are?" Tuttle asked.

Sulian looked at the secretary officer beside him. After confirming that he was not an outsider, he lifted the hood.

"Hello, General Tuttle. Let me briefly introduce myself. I am the grandson of Suman Ersha. Now I am studying at the Polar Star Academy under the name of Sulian." Sulian introduced himself with a faint smile.

Tuttle was slightly taken aback.

The grandson of Ersha? Why is he here? The Polar Star Academy... Oh!
