Half an hour later, the battlefield was almost cleaned up. The number of Deep Ones corpses was incalculable because they were at sea. Once the Deep Ones were lost, they would sink to the bottom of the sea or be devoured by the sea monsters that were eyeing them covetously. Therefore, it was impossible to calculate the exact number of casualties.
However …
The casualties of the humans were not optimistic either. Although they won the battle, it was a pyrrhic victory. Two of the Gold-ranked professionals were killed by the elite Deep Ones. Other than that, many mutated Deep Ones made it to the deck and caused a number of casualties. In this battle, ten people were unfortunately killed and the number of injured was more than double digits.
It could be said that the morale of this expedition team had already slipped to a low point. Just thinking about it made people sigh. Everyone had embarked on this road of conquest in high spirits, but before they even saw the main character, they had already caused a lot of casualties. This made people want to retreat. Not to mention, there were two Gold rankers among them. Although these two people were not as talented as Xu Hongzhuang, their potential was not to be underestimated. With a little training, they would be the mainstay of order. But it was these extraordinary experts who had lost their lives in the underworld.
As a matter of fact, the number of professions that belonged to the Order had already exceeded thirty thousand. This was already a considerable number in a city with a population of a million. But even so, every month, there would still be dozens of professions that died due to various unforeseen circumstances.
Professionals had the ability to protect themselves, but the casualty rate was much higher than the average citizen. This was because they were the line of defense against the monsters.
This was the fundamental reason why Order was able to achieve what it was today. Chen Feng built a real fortress, unlike the City of Silver. When faced with a crisis, the first thing they would do was to abandon the survivors to protect themselves. Even under such high pressure, the average citizen would not be able to put up any resistance. But the upper echelons of the City of Silver would never be able to win the hearts of the people. They did not know what it meant to have the hearts of the people.
As for the establishment of Order, only about 20,000 citizens lost their lives. But … 20,000 people was already a number to be proud of. They had gone through a lot of hardships during their escape. They had encountered all kinds of shocking dangers. The arrival of the Zerg Tide, the devil's conspiracy, the mutation of the zombies, and several energy mutations. There were also landslides, mudslides, and other natural disasters.
Looking back, many of the ordinary citizens were in disbelief. They still couldn't believe that they could persevere and even have their own home in the Order. In these two years, who knew how many people's sweat, blood, and tears had dripped. Who knew how many people's wails and screams echoed. Who knew how many people's corpses lay on the ground …
Almost everyone lost their loved ones. This was a highly probable event. The disaster happened too suddenly. Some people even witnessed their loved ones turn into real zombies because of the energy. A second ago, they were still loved ones standing in front of them, but in the next second, their loved ones became slaves of flesh and blood. Their faces were ferocious and bloodthirsty!
Time and time again. Time and time again. Time and time again. They thought of giving up. But due to the fear of death and the attachment to life, they persevered until now. They persevered until the moment of victory.
Furthermore, the 20,000 people who died were mostly from the time when Order had just been established, when it was still a small city. Now, Order had already built several walls around the city, and other than normal deaths, there were very few records of normal people being killed by monsters.
It was also because of this that Xu Hongzhuang dared to bring the elites out for a mission. If it was an ordinary small city that had not been built yet, just a medium-sized attack might cause fatal damage. But for Order, it was basically impossible!
Order still had experts guarding the city. On top of every wall, there were hundreds of magic cannons. When these magic cannons were fired at the same time, even a Legendary champion could be blown to pieces in an instant.
And now, those people on the deck, no matter if they were professionals or ordinary warriors, no matter if they had the strength of Gold or Bronze, without exception, they were all the victors!
Even if their comrades died, even if their morale was at a disadvantage, no one would cry out loud. Because they were the warriors of Order. No matter when or where, they should not and should not be affected by emotions!
The dark red clouds in the sky began to rumble. The thunder became louder and louder. Perhaps, after a while, it would rain heavily again.
At this moment, everyone was taking medicine. There were also doctors from the medical department. They must recover their physical strength in the shortest time possible.
"Phew …"
Xu Hongzhuang slowly opened her eyes. Her injuries had recovered by eighty percent. Chen Feng's [Holy Healing] was very powerful. After activating this skill, the injuries caused by the collision with the elite Deep One were quickly healed!
And this was the advantage of having a powerful force behind her. Even if her physical body had recovered by eighty percent, because of the [Holy Healing], her spiritual energy was exhausted to the limit. However, Xu Hongzhuang had a healing department that specialized in serving the fleet. One of them was one of the two experts in the healing department. He was an existence that was on par with Li Siyu.
With the other party's careful treatment, Xu Hongzhuang quickly recovered to her normal state. According to the current time, she would be able to recover to her peak state in half a day's time.
When the crowd dispersed, Xu Hongzhuang took out the golden skeleton. Previously, she felt that this skeleton was extraordinary, so she used a special container to wrap it up.
The research department produced new experimental products every day. This special container was like a blanket, but the surface was refined with a special material that could isolate energy. This material was mostly used to cover mutated plants and ores.
Due to the energy storm, all kinds of plants had mutated and even gained the ability to devour living things. This greatly increased the difficulty of harvesting them. It was precisely because of this that the research department created this magical item to isolate the energy of the other party. However, it was useless against living things and could only be used on fixed objects.
Xu Hongzhuang discovered the strangeness of the golden arm. She could feel that it was because of this arm that the elite Deep One had the majestic appearance it had before.
"What the hell is this?"
Xu Hongzhuang slowly removed the [Blanket] with a little doubt, and the golden skeleton was exposed in front of her eyes.
Xu Hongzhuang hadn't really touched it yet, but she could already hear layers of noise in her ears. Hallucinations appeared in front of her eyes. What did she see? In the endless sea, countless Deep Ones were entrenched in the surroundings. Their eyes reflected a blood-red light, and they were kowtowing to a large stone statue.
This was similar to how the believers of Order treated Chen Feng!
