Half an hour later, the battlefield was almost cleaned up. The number of deep divers' bodies could not be counted because this was at sea. Once a deep divers was lost, they would sink to the bottom of the sea or be snatched away and devoured by the sea beasts that were watching them covetously. As a result, it was impossible to calculate the specific number of casualties.
However…
The damage to humans was not optimistic either. Although they won a victory, it was a pyrrhic victory. Two gold-level professionals were killed by elite divers. In addition, many mutated divers boarded the deck, causing several casualties. In this battle, ten people were unfortunately killed, and the number of injured exceeded double digits.
It can be said that the morale of this long-distance sailing team has slipped to a low point. It is really sad to think about it. Everyone embarked on this road of conquest with high spirits, but before they even met the real boss, they had already suffered considerable casualties. This made people want to retreat. What's more, there were two gold-level powerhouses among them. Although these two people were not as talented as Xu Hongzhuang, their potential should not be underestimated. With a little training, they could also be the mainstay of order. But even such outstanding masters died.
In fact, the number of professionals affiliated with the Order has exceeded 30,000 since records began. This is a considerable number in a city with a population of one million. But even so, several or even dozens of professionals die every month due to various accidents.
Professionals have the ability to protect themselves and are very impressive, but their casualty rate is much higher than that of ordinary citizens, simply because they are the flesh-and-blood defense against monsters.
This is the fundamental reason why order exists today. What Chen Feng built is a real fortress, which is definitely not like the Silver City. When encountering things, the first thing they think of is to abandon the survivors to save themselves. Even under high pressure, ordinary people can't make any resistance at all, but the top leaders of Silver City can never win the hearts of the people, and don't understand what it means to be in the hearts of the people.
As for since the order was established, only about 20,000 ordinary citizens died, but... 20,000 people, this is already a number to be proud of. Since their escape, they have experienced untold hardships and encountered all kinds of shocking dangers, the coming of insect tides, devilish conspiracies, corpse mutations and several energy mutations, as well as large and small landslides, mudslides and other natural disasters. It can be said that every step is thrilling.
Looking back, many ordinary citizens feel incredible. They still can't believe that they have been able to persevere and have their own homes in order. In the past two years, who knows how much sweat, blood and tears have been shed, who knows how many people's wails and screams have echoed, and who knows how many bodies have been laid...
Almost everyone has lost their loved ones. This is a high-probability event. The disaster happened too suddenly. Some people even witnessed their family members turning into real zombies because of the energy. The previous second, the people standing in front of them were their loved ones, but the next second, their loved ones became slaves of flesh and blood, with hideous faces and extremely bloodthirsty!
They have been discouraged and despaired many times, and have thought about giving up countless times, but out of fear of death and attachment to life, they have persisted until now, until the moment of victory.
Moreover, most of the 20,000 deaths occurred when the Order was just established and it was just a small city. Like now, the Order has built several walls, and except for normal deaths, there are very few records of ordinary people being killed by monsters.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Hongzhuang dared to bring elite troops out on the mission. If it were an ordinary unbuilt small city, a medium-sized attack alone might cause fatal damage, which was basically impossible for order!
There are still experts guarding the order, and there are hundreds of magic cannons placed on each city wall. When these magic cannons bombard together, even a legendary strong man may be killed instantly without leaving a complete body!
And like now, those people on the deck, no matter they are professionals or ordinary warriors, no matter they are gold rank or bronze strength, they are all winners without exception!
Even if more companions died, even if morale was low, no one would cry out loud, because they were warriors of order, and no matter when or where, they should not and could not be swayed by emotions!
The dark red thunderclouds in the sky began to roll again, and the sound of thunder became louder and louder. I was afraid that in some time, heavy rain would fall again.
At this moment, everyone is taking medicine, and there are doctors from the medical department providing treatment, aiming to restore everyone's physical strength in the shortest possible time.
"Huh..."
Xu Hongzhuang slowly opened her eyes. Her injuries had recovered by 80%. The holy healing technique given by Chen Feng was very powerful. After using this skill, the injuries caused by the collision with the elite diver were quickly healed!
This is the benefit of having a force supporting you. Even if your physical body recovers by 80%, your mental strength has been consumed to the limit because of the use of holy healing. However, Xu Hongzhuang has a treatment department that specializes in serving the fleet. One of the experts is one of the two masters of the treatment department, and is as famous as Li Siyu.
With the other party carefully healing her, Xu Hongzhuang quickly returned to normal. At this rate, it would take another half a day for her to recover to her peak condition.
When the crowd had dispersed, Xu Hongzhuang took out the golden bones. She had felt the extraordinary nature of these bones, so she wrapped them in a special container.
New experimental products are born in the research department every day, and this special container is like a blanket, but the surface is made of special materials that can isolate energy. It is mostly used to cover mutated plants and minerals.
Because of the energy storm, various plants also mutated and even gained the ability to devour living beings, which greatly increased the difficulty of picking them. It was for this reason that the research department refined this magical thing in order to isolate the opponent's energy, but this is useless for living things and can only be used on fixed objects.
Xu Hongzhuang discovered the strangeness of the golden arms. She could feel that it was because of these arms that the elite divers had their previous majestic presence.
"What on earth is this?"
Xu Hongzhuang slowly removed the blanket with a little doubt, and the golden skeleton inside was exposed in front of her eyes.
Before Xu Hongzhuang could really make contact, she heard layers of noise and hallucinations. What did she see? In the endless deep sea, countless deep divers were lurking around, their pupils reflecting blood-red light, and they were kneeling and bowing to a huge stone statue.
This look was almost the same as how the believers of order treated Chen Feng!
