The battle raged for an entire night.
The next morning, Lin Zhan limped back to the human combat fortress with the others.
At the entrance, they saw the young Taoist priest sitting in a daze.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Seeing the cut on Lin Zhan's leg, the young Taoist priest hurried over to help him.
"Big Brother, are you alright?"
As he spoke, the young Taoist priest surveyed the team, noticing that the Lie Shan Shi heavy armored guards were reduced by half, and the Great Shang Ancestral Court guards had also lost quite a few men.
Many iron-eating beasts carried warriors from two different guard units, and even king beasts of their own kind.
The young Taoist priest instantly burst into tears. "Big Brother, how many brothers have we lost? Why are half of them being carried back?"
Lin Zhan patted the young Taoist priest and said, "Stop crying, we haven't lost that many brothers, but many are seriously injured. Quickly go and call for the Nineteenth to come and save them."
The others quickly helped the injured soldiers down from the backs of the iron-eating beasts, and Lin Zhan, exhausted, slumped onto the ground.
After half a day of treatment, Lin Zhan, leaning on a cane, arrived at the meeting room.
Looking at Xuan Zhen and Lie Shan Long Que, who were wrapped in bandages, he shook his head helplessly and said, "How many brothers have we lost?"
Lie Shan Long Que shook his head and said, "324 brothers, not a single coward among them. They all died with the gods and demons."
"Well done," Lin Zhan nodded and said softly.
Then he looked at Xuan Zhen.
"292 brothers, all of them died after I slew the berserk orcs and then charged the divine race."
Lin Zhan nodded again and said, "Damn it, they are all true men of Great Shang, all of them are good."
"A total of 616 brothers, damn it, it hurts like hell."
"Our two teams, in total..."
If it weren't for the desperate rescue by the personal guards of the Divine Race Imperial Daughter, she would have perished at Lin Zhan's hands this time.
Out of a total of 72 peak kings of the Divine Race, only a little over a dozen managed to escape. The rest were all slain by Lin Zhan and the Five Little Ones.
The consequence was that all of them, except for Xiao Hei, were seriously injured.
Xiao Jin was almost cut in half by the Divine Race Imperial Daughter. Xiao Bao's stomach was ripped open. After stuffing his intestines back in, Bao Ye got up and killed two more Divine Race kings.
Xiao Ji's iron feathers were all shot out, and he was now a bare-chested bandit bird with one wing broken.
Xiao Kong had a bandage around his head, felt dizzy now and then, and kept pestering them to let him wear a helmet so he wouldn't get his head cracked again next time.
As for Lin Dashuai, he took a cut to his chest, abdomen, and thigh.
Especially the cut on his thigh, which was directly at the root of the thigh. It narrowly missed turning Lin Dashuai into a one-eyed man. If that cut had been straight, Lin Dashuai could have been renamed "Deficient Egg Marshal" from "Wicked Marshal."
Lie Shan Long Que also raised his hand and said, "Little Uncle Master, our weapons and equipment are all scrapped. Not to mention the warhammers, even the last dragon spears are bent. You need to make arrangements for us too. After the brothers recover, we still need to take revenge."
Xuan Zhen also chimed in, "Young Master, our God Slaying Crossbows are all empty. We were only focused on escaping on the way back, and didn't have time to collect crossbows from the Ten Thousand Races coalition."
The young Taoist priest beside him was instantly stunned. "Holy crap, all sixty thousand God Slaying Crossbows are gone? How many Ten Thousand Races kings did you shoot down?"
Xuan Zhen calculated and said, "About twenty thousand. Now, in the Giant Demon Forest, apart from the kings of the Giant Demon race, the Sea race, and the God and Demon races, there aren't many kings left from other races."
Then he turned to Da Hei and Da Jin and said, "The remaining kings will be up to you two races. Our group won't be able to recover anytime soon."
Lin Zhan looked at the distressed young Taoist priest and said, "Brother-in-law, we not only took down 20,000 kings of the Ten Thousand Races, but also over 3,000 elites from the God and Demon races. Why are you still looking so sad?"
The young Taoist priest looked at Lin Zhan and said helplessly,
"Big Brother, I fired a total of 60 waves of rockets, a full 18,000 black hole missiles, and 115,000 high-explosive rockets."
"And on your end, another 60,000 God Slaying Crossbows were lost, 4,000 sets of full Lie Shan Shi equipment, and 8,888 sets of king-level rune armor."
"Big Brother, those kings of the Ten Thousand Races were not killed by you. They were literally smashed to death with spirit stones, and all of them were king-level spirit cores."
"Also, 110 out of 300 fixed missile launch bases are scrapped, 900 out of 1,500 rocket launchers are scrapped, and 120 out of 500 missile launchers are scrapped."
"Congratulations, Big Brother, this battle has expended enough resources for an army of 50 million to fight for three months."
