After thinking for a long time, Moli prepared himself mentally and opened the battle damage statistics report.
Looking at the series of numbers and the long list above, Moli felt a pain in his heart every time he read one more line.
The names that could be marked in the battle report were at least B-level psychics, and such a list was endless in the battle damage report that Mo Li was reading now.
With a sad heart, Moli scrolled to the end of the battle damage report and saw the final statistical results.
After seeing this, Moli felt that his heartbeat stopped for more than ten seconds.
Too many, really too many.
The loss of carrier-based aircraft accounted for half of the fleet, which was still acceptable.
The loss of the mecha unit exceeded one-third of the fleet.
The battle turned out this way and the losses were so huge, which proves that the morale of the Moli fleet and the training of the soldiers are indeed good.
Faced with such huge losses, these two forces did not collapse completely, and were even able to cover the fleet in the end.
They were not able to return to the hangar until some time before the evacuation.
After reading the battle damage report, Moli was speechless for a long time.
If the losses in the previous battle in Fornax were included, the total loss of his fleet had reached more than 7,000 ships, more than one-third.
They are all well-trained veteran fleets.
Even if we win the final war, it will take a long time to make up for the loss.
Inside the flagship, Moli almost collapsed in his seat.
Duncan was in a similar situation. Their eyes were blank and for a moment, they both found it difficult to accept the situation.
When they sent out their troops, they were all in high spirits.
In total, the number of ships under Morey and Duncan is about the same as the number of ships under Ahmed, Owen, and Adams.
Moreover, Owen and Adams' fleets were larger in number and somewhat disunited.
According to Duncan's original strategic prediction, they should have achieved good results and directly defeated Irving and the Galaxy Defense fleet.
But the actual result was that they were slapped hard in the face.
Owen's fleet grew instead of decreasing.
The Galaxy Defense fleet did suffer losses, and the losses of carrier-based aircraft and mecha units were also considerable, but at least the damage ratio was very good.
Moli and Duncan returned to Xilin with their fleet in disgrace.
Owen, Adams, and Ahmed returned to Fornax with their fleet.
In any case, after this battle, Duncan and Clive's original strategic plan was realized.
At least they had opened up the passage, so they were not trapped in Xilin Constellation and unable to receive supplies from other galaxies.
The only question is how long this gap in the C-22 galaxy hub will remain vacant.
On Owen's side, he originally had about 13,500 warships. After fighting this battle, he split up the captured fleet.
First, some were allocated to Adams to make up for Adams's losses. There were still three space battle groups and about 9,000 ships.
He took over the rest himself, and finally expanded the fleet to about 17,000 ships.
However, the number of ships has increased a lot, but the crew members, soldiers, and officers cannot be used directly.
No matter what, they were all captives, and even their families were still in the territory controlled by Duncan.
Now they can surrender to Irving, and next time they encounter a difficult battle, they can surrender again without any problem.
As a result, the vast majority of soldiers, crew members, and even mecha operators were temporarily restrained and put aside. They would have to undergo at least a period of brainwashing training before they could be put to use.
When Ahmed heard the news, he immediately informed Owen, saying, "Since you don't dare to use these prisoners now, why not give some of them to me?"
Owen was stunned, but he still said, "But the loyalty of these prisoners is a big problem. I am also from Lidadas Capital, and I don't dare to use them. What about you, sir?"
Ahmed smiled and said, "It is precisely because I am not from Lidadas Capital that I can use it with confidence."
"I will select some of them to join my fleet and split them up for use."
"It'll be no problem."
Since Ahmed said so, it was difficult for Irving to refuse.
Although these captured veterans originally had other uses, for example, they could be separated and arranged into the fleet after a period of brainwashing.
As for their relatives, to be honest, except for some officers of slightly higher ranks, the vast majority of soldiers and crew members do not have to worry about this issue.
No one would have the time to target the relatives of these soldiers.
Duncan doesn't dare to do that now, because the morale of his subordinates is not very good.
If this happens again, the army under his command might collapse completely.
By then, Duncan won’t even have the chance to cry.
After getting the captured soldiers from Owen, Ahmed directly sent officers to select suitable psychics from among these prisoners.
Psychics are usually military officers or mecha pilots, and they play a very important role.
This time, the fleet under Ahmed suffered heavy losses in the mecha division, so it was just right for them to recover here.
As for the issue of loyalty, there is no need to worry too much about it.
They will be separated and join the fleet under his command, becoming mecha divisions directly.
They have no access to any high-level intelligence.
As for after they go to the battlefield, they are even less likely to commit any acts of betrayal under the influence of the general trend.
They drove the Rangers and were separated to join the squadron team just now. How could this be a betrayal?
They can't even connect with each other. Once the war starts, even if they want to betray, the enemy will not be able to accept it.
In this situation, it was actually much easier for Ahmed to handle than for Irving.
This can be considered as a barely sufficient recovery for the fleet under his command.
These surrendered mecha divisions may not have performed well in combat under Duncan's command.
However, after joining the Galaxy Defense Group, their performance and combat effectiveness will definitely be higher after a period of training.
Ahmed and Owen Adams' fleet returned to Fornax for a brief rest.
The damaged ships were taken to the starport for repairs and maintenance.
The soldiers got a chance to rest temporarily, returning to the Sky Fortress or the life planet below to rest for a while, relieve the stress after the war and relax.
The ships lost under Ahmed's command were quickly replenished.
All of them are ships built in the super-large space dock of Fornax. Even though the soldiers and crew are all recruits, their combat effectiveness is much lower.
