Chapter 199 Awakening and Casualty Report
"Your Highness is awake."
Before his eyes were opened and his consciousness was still a little blurry, Imrik heard Masno's surprised voice, followed by waves of trampling on the ground. The sound of footsteps reached my ears.
"How long have I been in a coma?" After opening his eyes, he found that he was in a palace. He should now be in a medical center in Saffrey.
"Three days." Masnow stood nearby and handed a glass of water to the prince. Judging from his tired look, he probably hadn't had a moment of rest in the past three days and had been staying by Imric's side.
He reached out to take the cup, but did not drink it immediately. Imrik stared at the ripples in the water and said calmly, "How many people have we lost." Masno, who was happy because the prince woke up
, At this time, his expression became much darker. After a moment of pause, he told the situation, "The number of killed was 7,319, and 942 were seriously injured. Alan Bruy and Agarle could Te, Kelrasd, and Gregorio died in battle."
Imrik did not speak, but slowly drank the water into his mouth. He brought a total of 30,000 soldiers on this trip, even with the help of several years of The large-scale armament improvement carried out by Vaal Anvil still caused a lot of losses in the face of hundreds of thousands of Druzi and Chaos coalition forces. Those Khorne demons only joined the battlefield for a short time and still caused a large number of casualties.
Those who were seriously injured had no ability to continue fighting. Even the life mage could not fully heal them, and the four giant dragons rested forever in Fenouir Plain, a place that did not belong to them.
Without sighing or saying any sad words, Imric just handed the water glass to Masnow, and then planned to get up and walk out of the palace. Perhaps in the eyes of others, such a big victory was achieved with this loss. , it can be regarded as an epic victory, but Imrik does not think so. Even the loss of one person will be a huge harm to Caledor.
As he walked outside, he saw Adila and found her running up to him with a worried look on her face. Then she ignored the guards behind them and directly took Imric's hand and looked at it carefully.
Two days ago, she saw Imric's body covered with scars due to black magic, and thought he was about to die. At that time, she wanted to chop off Teclis who had caused this situation with a sword, or was he killed by the life system. The Archmage gave up the idea after ensuring that the Dragon Prince was fine.
"It's great that you're okay." Adira held Imric's hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to find that their lover had turned into a cold corpse when they had just confirmed their relationship.
Seeing her concerned look, Imrik stopped talking in a sinister manner and reached out his hand to touch her beautiful golden hair. The atmosphere immediately solidified in this harmonious scene.
Just as the two were enjoying this moment of tranquility, an untimely cough sounded from the side, bringing their thoughts back to reality.
"Ahem." The person who made the sound did not intend to interfere. This was a medical center prepared for high-ranking nobles. The sound came from people passing by.
"Let's go, there are still many things to deal with next." Imrik did not miss this feeling too much. After just sacrificing so many children of Caledor, there were too many things that needed to be resolved urgently.
"Yes." Adila also knew that Imrik must not be in a good mood now. After all, Caledor's casualties were indeed very heavy this time. Considering the importance he attached to his people, he did not leave with murderous intent on his face. It's already settled.
The group of people walked out of the medical clinic. This is the life magic research area of the White Tower of Hos. Various animals and tall trees can be seen everywhere, and many people are lying on the grass and basking in the sun.
After seeing that Imrik was fine, Adira also left with others. Tyron Locke also suffered a large number of casualties this time. As the person in charge of this military operation, she had to deal with no fewer things than Imrik. The Twilight Knights under her command performed well in this battle, but they suffered a large number of casualties due to the retreat of the chariot troops. How to make up for this gap may be what she needs to focus on next.
Signing to the people who were saluting one by one, Imric arrived at Caledor's garrison outside the city and found that the atmosphere was very solemn. Obviously after the casualty statistics report came out, this tragic data was not only difficult for the Dragon Prince to accept, but also for those who lost their loved ones. The soldiers with their comrades-in-arms found it even more difficult to accept that those who complained to them about common things like the poor food in the army all day long had left forever and could no longer continue to ask about these trivial and boring things. Sitting back on the familiar oak chair, Imrik picked up the casualty statistics report. After looking at it for a moment, he closed his eyes helplessly.
The heavy casualties were somewhat beyond his expectations. Four of Caledor's most important dragons were killed, and one hundred and thirty Dragon Princes were killed. The Dragon Halberd Guards and Patunyuin's Claws directly under the Dragon Lord lost their lives. One-third, they assumed the most important position. The former intercepted the impact of Hagrid Grave's cold lizard knight and the hydra, while the latter had been cooperating with the spearmen in the central battle zone to strangle.
The Horns of the Sun led by Bruni retained most of their strength. They were responsible for attacking the cold lizard knights and chasing down deserters during the battle, so they did not suffer too serious losses.
The other types of soldiers also suffered serious casualties. If there was such a war every few years, Caledor might be able to declare that the kingdom was truly weak.
Putting down the report sheet in his hand, others saw the prince's action and knew that he would say something next.
"The soldiers who died in battle will be given three times the pension by the Dragon Palace, and their families will also be supported by the palace. If they have children, the palace will raise them until they can live independently. Those with outstanding military exploits will be granted posthumous titles. A title of military nobility."
After each Asur soldier is killed in battle, a large amount of pension is often paid. Although the longevity species do not lack wealth due to their longevity, this is a sign that the kingdom attaches great importance to them.
After acquiring a lot of capital from Finuba two years ago and gradually putting the trade share entrusted to the Tyranno Lok Bianchi family into operation, the Dragon Palace is finally able to afford this high amount of pensions and alimony. cost.
After everyone else nodded to express their understanding, Imric continued, "The same goes for seriously injured people. The palace will do its best to find a way to heal them, and will also allocate a portion of funds from the treasury every year as their living allowance. ."
"I will order Maurice to establish a loyal heir academy in Kalede. The children of these sacrificed and seriously injured people can join it on a voluntary basis. They will enjoy the training methods of the children of the vassal families of the Dragon Tamer family as future Kaledi. Officer Ledo."
To be honest, Imric didn't want to do this. After their fathers died in battle, even their children had to be trained as reserve soldiers of Caledor, but the actual situation now forced him to do this. Not to mention, if she had a conflict with Lilith, those licking dogs of the Lake Goddess might, under the hint of the Lake Goddess Fairy, launch a chivalric holy war against Caledo, and then Lilith would rely on thousands of The power of faith accumulated over the years to create a Holy Grail Knights Chapter was a bit of a headache.
Moreover, the legendary dragon horn is still located in the ancestral treasury of Eight Peaks Mountain, and an expedition across the entire bad land will not be much easier than the expedition to Nagaroth. Even if the dwarves temporarily put aside their hatred due to the action of recovering Eight Peaks Mountain, they choose Marching into the Eight Peaks Mountains with Caledor will not be much easier. The Greenskins and Skaven will not let the Eight Pillars City, which can connect the World's Edge Mountains, return to the control of the dwarves.
Not to mention that after obtaining the dragon horn, they have to go to the Plain of Bones to perform a purification ceremony. The Lahmian Sisters entrenched at the tip of the Silver Spear cannot allow the birthplace of the top undead behemoth to be occupied by Caledor, and they have to because The dead dragon was manipulated by the undead to make an explanation to the Caledor dragons.
He shook his head helplessly. Druzi, Chaos, Greenskins, Ratmen, Vampires, and Bretonnia, who might be enemies, were really fighting all over the world.
"Your Highness, do we need to relax the requirements for the Dragon Prince's service?" Randy sat on the chair next to him and asked. He could also see that Imric must be planning to make some big moves in the future, otherwise he would not be able to do it. There is no such thing as establishing Chuji Academy.
After hearing Randy's words, Imric pondered for a moment. The minimum age for the Dragon Prince to serve is one hundred and eighty years old. This is a rigid rule. Even Elvis Hallandur, as his herald, It can only be said that he is a preparatory dragon prince and Caledor noble. This is to ensure that the young nobles of the kingdom will at least officially enter the battlefield after getting married and having children. However, due to the impressive fertility rate of the Immortal species, many families have become history.
To become a dragon prince, you need to go through a series of assessments. The first is the most important dragon language assessment. If you can't even understand the dragon's language, you will have no chance of becoming a dragon prince. The second is the assessment of martial arts and military command capabilities. These people are trained as officers and have extremely high military qualities, not to mention a series of cultural qualities that are even more cumbersome.
"Relax some of the assessments on military command ability and cultural literacy, and the rest will remain the same as before."
