The losses were heavy, but it didn't mean that there were no gains. On the contrary, in terms of the hunting group, Allen and the others had gained quite a bit. Just like everything in the world, there were gains and losses. There were gains and losses, but this was the case.
Under the list of casualties was a list of military contributions issued by the Federation, which listed the military contributions Allen's team had obtained this time. Among them, the battle in the Scarlet Flame Highlands was a great contribution. Killing nearly a thousand enemy soldiers and killing Sabott, a chieftain level expert, allowed Allen and the others to each obtain a third-class merit. Among them, because Sabott's combat strength was slightly higher than the Dark Titan's, the military gave him another fourth-class merit.
The rest of the enemy killing merits, including the battle at the supply base, were converted into a fourth-class merit. In the detailed form, even Allen and the others' resolute return to the Scarlet Flame Highlands was included in the military merit assessment. Even Allen had no choice but to say that it was fair for the military to review military merits.
Finally, it was clearly stated in the summary column that Allen's team had obtained a total of two third-class merits and two fourth-class merits. Even if the two third-class merits were split up and divided equally with the two fourth-class merits, each team would obtain at least three fourth-class merits. This was already a good sum of money. One had to know that on Frost Star, a team like Reese's that lacked combat ability would only be able to obtain a fourth-class military merit if they fought to the death.
Now that just one battle had tripled, it could be seen that the central battlefield was indeed a good place to harvest military merits. Of course, the prerequisite was to survive to the end.
Allen thought about it carefully. Military merits naturally couldn't be divided, let alone obtained by the living. After some deliberation, Allen planned to exchange a fourth-class merit for Federation dollars and distribute it to the deceased as a pension for their families. As for the other hunting groups, they would be distributed according to their contribution and battle damage. Dawn Academy once had a complicated formula for this method of distributing military merits. For many people, this formula was enough to cause a headache, but for Allen, it was only a matter of a few minutes.
Very quickly, he finished distributing the military merits. Generally speaking, the Black Knight, Adjudicators, Silver Pegasus, and the others, who were the main fighting force of the team, would be slightly more inclined. As for support teams like Reese and the Shadow Lynx, there were slightly fewer. After distributing the military merits, the next step was to go to the fortress's command building to cash in and register. Looking out the window, it was already evening. Allen could only give up on the idea of going to the command building immediately.
Night fell.
An internal celebration dinner was held in the Morsen Clan's camp. This time, the Morsen Clan defended the defensive area. Even in the face of enormous pressure, they did not retreat in the slightest. For a clan that started as a merchant, their performance was indeed impressive. In particular, the army commander Zeke's bold tactical style won a lot of praise. In the battle of the C2 camp, Adele's performance was even more remarkable.
The Morsen Clan's demoness had always been famous in Babylon for her poisonous tongue and difficulty, but no one had expected that the decisiveness and toughness she displayed on the battlefield would not be inferior to that of a man at all. On the battlefield, the Morsen Clan had never had anyone to put on the stage. But after this battle, Adele leapt to become the shining new star of the clan. Behind this glory, however, was more of a contrast to her performance as a woman on the battlefield. If it was a man, he might not have received so much praise.
But no matter what, the Morsen Clan had really made a name for themselves this time, and Adele had given the weak impression of the clan a long face.
When Wallace sent all this information back to the clan, Old Kate couldn't stop smiling all night.
Tonight's celebration banquet was mostly to reward the clan warriors. Although they were mostly hired external soldiers, they were inseparable from such a front. On this point, the Morsen Clan was not stingy, and all the soldiers received a good reward. Even those who died in battle received a pension of about 30% higher than the contract.
As a result, the camp was filled with laughter. The soldiers drank shoulder to shoulder, laughed together, and fell to the ground drunk together.
The camp's battle hall became the main venue of the banquet, and the atmosphere inside was blazing. At this moment, the door opened and a wave of hot air gushed out from the hall. Adele walked out in hunting shorts, her hair tied up and hidden in a newsboy hat. She still had a smile on her face, but as she left the hall, the smile gradually disappeared. She was still holding a cocktail in her hand. She drank half of the wine, and the remaining half of the light blue liquid swayed gently as she walked.
Adele stopped in a corner outside the hall and found a clean place to sit down. She took off her hat and let her long hair dance in the night wind. She held her wine and looked at the night sky, speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
This made Adele frown, and then she saw Ham, Toure's son, a man she hated very much. The Goliath Clan came uninvited to tonight's celebration banquet. It was just a gift from Toure, and out of courtesy, Wallace chose to receive them. Toure's skin was also extremely thick. He didn't talk about his rude actions when he retreated into the Morsen Clan's defensive area that day. He played the role of a forthright patriarch and spent the entire night talking to Wallace about the wind and moon, not mentioning business.
Adele didn't bother to meet them and ran out by herself. He didn't expect this Ham to be so thick-skinned as to follow him. It could be seen that this person's skin was no less thick than his father's. Adele stood up with a disgusted expression, picked up her glass and was about to leave. Hamm hurriedly shouted, "Please wait a moment, Miss Adele."
"What, what advice does Mr. Hamm have?" Said Adele coldly.
Hamm put on a sincere smile and said, "I came to apologize to Miss Adele for my previous rudeness."
"Oh? You've done a lot of rude things. I don't even remember which one it is. "
Hamm was not angry at Adele's taunts. He still smiled and said, "Of course it was that night in Babylon, Miss Adele. Please believe me, I was really drunk at that time, so I did such an outrageous thing. "
"So it's about this. Alright, you've apologized now. You can leave." Said Adele impatiently.
'"Listen to me, beautiful lady," said Hamm. Although I was rude that night, it was because I admired Miss Adele's beauty that I made that mistake. Because of this, our two families are so unhappy. Every time I think about it, I feel very guilty. So you see, I hope Miss Adele will give me a chance to make up for it all. "
Adele raised her eyebrows and sneered, "I can't think of any way to make up for it."
"Of course." Hamm's eyes shone with a blazing light as he took a step forward and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I'll propose to Miss Adele. Let the past go with the wind, and as long as Miss Adele agrees, our two families will be back together. When the time comes, do you still have to worry about not having any achievements on the central battlefield? Of course, we will still abide by our previous agreement. All the military merits we obtain will belong to the Morsen Clan! "
Adele laughed, "So that's what happened after going around and around. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you. "
After saying that, he wanted to leave.
Hamm hurriedly stood in front of her and said, "Miss Adele, think again. This is a good thing for both of us. I really can't think of any reason for you to refuse. "
"No reason?" Adele laughed and said, "Mr. Hamm, you overestimate yourself. If I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the family's political capital, there are more men better than you for me to choose from. You? To put it bluntly, you don't have the qualifications. "
She pushed Hamm away forcefully and walked alone to her camp residence.
Hamm was stunned on the spot. After a moment, his eyes burned with anger, "You ungrateful bitch!"
He flicked his sleeves and walked back.
A moment later, the Goliath family left. On the flying car, Toure quietly listened to Hamm's story and shook his head. "You're too impatient, Hamm. Adele had a problem with you before, and at this time, you shouldn't immediately throw out the idea of marriage. You should pursue her like an ordinary woman. Girls want romance, and you ruin the scenery. "
Hamm snorted and said, "I really don't understand, father. Why do I have to curry favor with that bitch again? That Adele, she'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make her look good. You weren't there, so you don't know how she taunted me. I almost wanted to strangle her! "
"Fortunately, you didn't do that." Toure smiled and said, "Listen, the situation is very bad for us now. And you see, Adele is getting so much attention now. If we can win the marriage again, with Adele's current momentum, we can redeem our former reputation. Tomorrow, prepare some gifts and go find her. I don't care what you think, but before you take this marriage, I want you to please Adele with all your might, even if you lick her feet like a dog. You have to do it for me. "
Hamm's eyes widened, and after a moment, he said discouraged, "I see."
Toure shook his head. How could his son know how bad the Goliath family was now? Losing the defensive area was no joke, even though the stronghold military had previously notified them that they could "selectively evacuate". However, the premise was that they couldn't defend the defensive area, so they took this inferior strategy. However, at that time, the Goliath Clan did not even try to defend to the death. Especially after comparing it with the Morsen Clan in the neighboring defensive area, the Goliath Clan had already been nicknamed cowards and cowards.
This was very disadvantageous to the future development of the clan, so Toure wanted to rebuild his relationship with the Morsen Clan to restore the clan's reputation. Tonight was an attempt. Toure believed that as long as he took out enough benefits, the Morsen Clan would not agree.
