Chapter 49, Battle Settlement
Gu Hang sat in an infantry fighting vehicle with a pale face and closed his eyes to rest.
He noticed the noise outside, but was too lazy to care.
He was exhausted from the battle just now.
The most important thing was that he was attacked head-on. [Spiritual Body Protection] blocked almost all the damage for him, but it also drained all his spiritual power.
In fact, this is a very dangerous thing.
According to the education about psychic magic that I had received in my memory, the complete exhaustion of spiritual power would bring uncontrollable consequences. Death, madness, mental abnormality, split personality... these were all possible.
After the battle, Gu Hang rested while checking his spiritual condition, and the result made him feel relieved.
Those bad conditions have not appeared. The current symptoms are just some fatigue and a little headache. Generally speaking, it will get better after rest.
But he still learned some lessons.
This time, he was still a little risky and put himself in danger.
But thinking back carefully, Gu Hang didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He was the governor, but he was not so rich that he would not sit in the palace. His career was still in its infancy, and he had to fight for some things.
Just this time, he couldn't find another psychic in his entire sphere of influence. If he didn't come forward in person, there would be no way to solve this matter today.
He also couldn't allow Yan Fangxu and the 3rd Battalion he led to be trapped in the woods and destroyed.
But the result this time is definitely good.
The original method used by the Angry Owl Sect to spawn and control so many monsters must not be easy, otherwise they would not still be rats in the gutter. After using such a method and losing three powerful priests here, the loss must be quite painful.
Even before that, they should be in pain.
If I hadn't asked Fuxing City to step up its efforts to crack down on cults and force them into a corner, they wouldn't have found a way to pay the price to assassinate me.
That's great. If you can't deal with me this time, then just wait for me to go to Fuxing City and expose all your secrets.
…
After resting for a while, he felt that he had recovered a lot.
Only at this time did he finally have the energy to take stock of his gains.
This time it was a great victory. Although the losses were the largest in all the previous battles, the results were also great.
[Slightly in the upper hand, gain 86 points of gift]
[103 lost, 6597 killed, 0 captured]
[2nd Infantry Battalion: 77 lost, 4447 destroyed]
[3rd Infantry Battalion: 24 lost, 1613 destroyed]
[Marines: 2 lost, 537 destroyed]
Just looking at the damage ratio, it's very impressive, but Gu Hang is not happy at all.
Those who were destroyed were all brainless monsters.
If they act according to Yan Fangxu's strategy, in the next few months, they can burn down the lairs of these monsters one by one almost without any damage, instead of facing them all at the same time after their unification has been catalyzed.
Not to mention bringing three storm priests to face it together.
A total of 103 soldiers were lost, with the 2nd Battalion suffering losses of more than 25%.
These casualties mainly occurred when the weather was windy and foggy.
Among them, two marines who he had just promoted to T3 level were killed, all of them were killed by the most powerful priest. That was how the 2 points of gift he invested were lost.
The two normal infantry battalions, especially the 2nd Battalion, need significant reinforcements.
The total population under Gu Hang's jurisdiction is less than 6,000. Not counting the mechanical servant battalion, there were two infantry battalions with 600 people, and the mobilization rate was over 10%. In fact, from the perspective of population composition, the pressure is already very high, not to mention that in addition to the army, Gu Hang also has various rapidly expanding production lines that require manpower.
Excessively high mobilization rates have affected production efficiency.
Especially for young and middle-aged manpower, there is a huge gap in Feidongshe, which has become a constraint on development.
The army's wounded vacancies would require another 100 people to be drawn from the manpower pool... it was very exhausting. Gu Hang could already imagine that Patel, who was in charge of heavy industry production at Feidong Society, would definitely be scratching his head.
That guy would not put up any obstacles for the young men to serve as soldiers for the governor. In his mind, it was an honor and a way to defend the fruits of their labor. But with less manpower, he really had to scratch his head about how to maintain and even expand production.
As for other costs... the textile factory has been opened, military uniforms can be produced by ourselves, and the relevant design drawings have been given to us; the alloy plastic steel production line can produce armored vests; firearms can be recycled from equipment left over on the battlefield, or new ones can be produced; even for soldier training, there is only 1 point of grace for every 100 soldiers, so there is no problem with these.
The problem still lies in population.
Still have to suck blood.
It's not easy to suck the Quintet in the sky, and there's no point in sucking low-end population. Gu Hang has other ideas for the female captain. There are talents he covets on the Quintet. To destroy the original wrathful owl sect, or at least give them a hard blow, he also needs the help of the female captain, and it can also be regarded as a reward to Ye Lixia, but this can be discussed later.
What remains are Fuxing City and Garbage Town.
Most of the people in Garbage Town are adventurers who dream of getting rich. It is possible that they have experienced many 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, and Gu Hang does not despise the refugees who cannot survive outside the city.
It is unrealistic to feed hundreds of thousands of people at once, but he now has enough jobs and plenty of food to feed quite a few people.
…
After thinking about the losses, the next thing is the gains.
86 points of grace, this is Gu Hang’s biggest gain so far.
Even more than all before combined.
This made Gu Hang feel like he had gotten rich overnight.
The shadow cast over his heart by the huge casualties of the soldiers was dispelled a lot because of this joy.
Of the 86 points of grace, it is estimated that more than 30 points were "contributed" by the three priests, and the one with the strongest light gave more than 20 points.
That high priest, in terms of psychic power strength alone, is much stronger than Gu Hang.
However, in the application of psychic energy, Gu Hang has the exquisite "soul cutting" inherited from the ancient family and the "spiritual body protection" given by the system, which makes him much stronger than the high priest who can only borrow the help of indigenous evil gods and use storm magic.
In other words, Gu Hang was able to win because of his powerful magic and his large numbers of people. If it really came down to spiritual strength, Gu Hang, who was only LV2, was no match for his opponent.
It is only natural to give more gifts after eliminating such a powerful enemy.
As for the remaining fifty points, they were the results of the soldiers killing more than six thousand alien monsters.
Apparently, these monsters' lives are worthless.
But the number was really huge, more than 6,000 of them died, which also brought a lot of gifts to Gu Hang.
It's a pity that the evaluation of the battle victory was only slightly superior, and the coefficient of the gift obtained after the war was not large enough, otherwise there should be more room.
Next, the question is how to spend this gift.
He happily called out the panel, and then saw an old thing flashing, and also a new thing appeared.
What is flashing is the [Hero] panel.
A new feature called [Event] has emerged.
