Chapter 49, Battle Settlement
Gu Hang sat in an infantry fighting vehicle with a pale face, closing his eyes to rest.
He noticed the movement outside, but didn't bother to pay attention.
The battle just now cost him a lot.
The most important thing was that he was hit head-on. [Spiritual Body Protection] blocked almost all damage to him, but it also drained all his spiritual energy.
In fact, this is a very dangerous thing.
According to the education about psychic spells I received in my memory, complete exhaustion of spirituality will bring uncontrollable consequences. Death, madness, psychosis, split personality...these are all possible.
After the battle, Gu Hang took a rest while searching for his spiritual condition. The result made him relieved.
Those bad situations have not occurred, and the current symptoms are just some fatigue and a little headache. Generally speaking, you can get better after resting.
But he still learned some lessons.
This time, I still took a little risk and put myself in danger.
But looking back carefully, Gu Hang didn't feel that he had done anything particularly wrong. It's true that he is the governor, but he is really not so rich that he can't sit down in court without spending a lot of money. His career is still in its infancy, and he has to fight for some things.
Just this time, he couldn't find a second psyker in his entire sphere of influence. If he doesn't come forward in person, there will be no solution to this matter today.
There was no way he would let Yan Fangxu and the 3rd Battalion led by him get trapped in the forest and die.
But the result this time is definitely good.
The way the original Angry Owl Sect spawned and controlled so many monsters must not have been easy, otherwise they wouldn't still be rats in the gutter. After using this method, three more powerful priests were lost here. The loss must be quite painful.
Even before that, they should be quite sore.
If they hadn't asked Fuxing City to intensify its efforts to crack down on the cult, forcing them to jump over the wall, they wouldn't have found a way to pay the price to assassinate them.
That's good. If you don't get me this time, then wait for me to go to Fuxing City and blow away all your old tricks.
……
After resting for a while, he felt that his condition had recovered a lot.
Only then did he really have the energy to take stock of his gains.
This time it was considered a complete victory. Although the loss was the largest in all previous battles, the result was also the same.
[Slightly advantaged, get 86 points of gift]
[Loss 103, 6597 destroyed, 0 prisoners]
[2nd Infantry Battalion: 77 losses, 4447 killed]
[3rd Infantry Battalion: 24 losses, 1613 wiped out]
[Marine Corps: 2 losses, 537 killed]
Just looking at the battle damage ratio, it was very beautiful, but Gu Hang was not happy at all.
Those who were eliminated were all brainless monsters.
If they act according to Yan Fangxu's strategy, in the next few months, they can burn out the lairs of these monsters one by one with almost no damage, instead of facing them all at once after their unification has been catalyzed.
Not to mention bringing three storm priests to face it together.
A total of 103 soldiers were lost, of which the losses of the 2nd Battalion exceeded 25%.
These casualties mainly occurred when strong winds and thick fog enveloped the area.
Among them, two of the marines he had just promoted to the T3 level were killed, and they were all killed by the most powerful priest. This meant that the two points of grace invested were gone.
The two normal infantry battalions, especially the 2nd Battalion, require substantial reinforcements. The total population under Gu Hang's rule is less than 6,000. Not counting the servitor battalion, it previously supported two infantry battalions with 600 people, and the mobilization rate exceeded 10%. In fact, judging from the population composition, the pressure is already great, let alone Gu Hang's place besides the army In addition, various rapidly expanding production lines also require manpower.
Excessively high mobilization rates have affected production efficiency.
Especially in terms of young and middle-aged manpower, there is a huge gap in Feidongshe, which is already a constraint on development.
The army's casualties require another hundred dollars to be taken from the manpower pool... very weak. Gu Hang could already imagine that when the time came, Patel, who was in charge of heavy industry production at the Wastedong Society, would definitely be scratching his head.
That guy would not put any obstacles in the way of the young men serving as soldiers for the governor. In his heart, it was an honor and he was defending the fruits of their labor. But after the manpower is reduced, he really has to scratch his head on how to maintain or even expand production.
As for other costs... The textile factory has been opened, military uniforms can be produced by themselves, and the relevant design drawings have been given; the alloy plastic steel production line can produce armored vests; firearms can recycle equipment left on the battlefield, or produce new ones, even if they are Soldier training, one hundred soldiers only gets 1 point of gift, so this is no problem.
The problem is still population.
Still have to suck blood.
The quintet number in the sky is not easy to attract, and it is not interesting to attract the low-end population. Gu Hang has other ideas for the female captain. There are many talents he covets on the Quintet. To eliminate the original Angry Owl sect and at least give them a hard blow would require the help of the female captain. It would also be considered a reward for Yelicia, but we can talk about this later.
The rest is Fuxing City and Garbage Town.
Garbage Town is full of adventurers who dream of getting rich. It cannot be ruled out that they have experienced ups and downs and now want to find an honest person... No, they want to live an honest life, but they can't force it.
Fuxing City is a huge source of refugees. Gu Hang does not dislike the refugees who cannot live outside the city.
It is unrealistic to eat hundreds of thousands of people in one go, but he now has enough jobs and plenty of food to feed many people.
……
After thinking about the losses, the next step is the gains.
86 points of gift, this is Gu Hang's biggest profit so far.
Even more than before combined.
This made Gu Hang feel like he was suddenly rich.
The huge casualties and losses of the soldiers had cast a shadow on his heart, but the joy dissipated a lot.
Of the 86 points of gifts, it is estimated that more than 30 points were 'contributed' by the three priests. Among them, the one with the strongest light gave more than 20 points.
That great priest, in terms of spiritual power alone, was even higher than Gu Hang.
But in the application of spiritual energy, Gu Hang has the exquisite 'soul cutting' inherited from the ancient family and the 'spiritual body protection' given by the system, which is much stronger than the great priest who can only borrow the indigenous evil gods and use the storm magic.
In other words, Gu Hang could win, firstly, by his powerful spells, and secondly, by his large number of people. Rather than his spiritual strength, Gu Hang, who was only at LV2, was not as good as his opponent.
To destroy such a powerful enemy, it is only natural to give him more gifts.
As for the remaining fifty points, they were the results of the soldiers killing more than 6,000 alien monsters.
Obviously, the lives of these monsters are worthless.
But the number was really huge. More than 6,000 died, which also gave Gu Hang a lot of gifts.
It's a pity that the victory in the battle was only rated as slightly superior. The gift coefficient obtained after the battle was not large enough, otherwise there should be room for more.
Next, there is the question of how to spend this gift.
He called out the panel happily, and then saw an old thing flashing, and a new thing appeared.
What's flashing is the [Hero] panel.
What is new is a new function called [Event].
