Chapter 153 Battle Damage Report
huh, huh...

A man covered in a black robe with silver borders was panting sharply,
At this moment, he was hiding in a tomb, and the suppressed soil around him made him very uncomfortable, especially the rotten corpse under his buttocks, which had already wet his whole body.

"I never imagined that I, Zhao Hui, a silver envoy, would end up in such a situation!"

Tightly grasping the strange piccolo in his hand, Zhao Hui was a little annoyed.

Not to mention that the attack did not complete the mission, it also took away all the infected soldiers and infected beasts, including the precious infected hidden dragon beast and channel flower!

But thinking of the dazzling white light just now, it was like a punishment from God, Zhao Hui shrunk his neck unconsciously. Fortunately, he was far away, otherwise he would have entered the Hall of Valor in advance.

"If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have hidden the infected soldiers. If I secretly sent them to the city while the infected beasts were attacking the city, there would be so many troubles!"

Zhao Hui regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself a few times, but now he could only smear his face with corpse oil.

"Damn, why don't you even have a coffin? This territory is so stingy! Alas, it seems that I am the only one who can go back alive this time."

This time, there are 4 more people who followed Zhao Hui to attack Hope City. Each person is responsible for a different division of labor, some control the infected hidden dragon beast, some control the attack of the infected beast, some are responsible for commanding the infected soldiers, and some control channel flower,

And Zhao Hui is the main person in charge of this operation. After returning, he will definitely bear the blame.

Zhao Hui shuddered a little when he thought of the punishment he would receive for this loss and mission failure after returning to the church.

He watched menacingly through the chinks of the tomb at the searchers, as if they were looking for gold.

"Wait! You won't be so lucky next time! Supreme Cult? Hmph!"

tread!
A foot suddenly blocked the gap, and then an excited cry rang out, causing Zhao Hui to sweat as much as the corpse water underneath him.

"There is new soil here! There may be people hiding!"

……

Lin Guiyao sat in the middle of the meeting room in the outer city, and nodded to Gui Xingchao.

Below you are the core staff of City of Hope, as well as Ge Bling, Ge Lingtong and Bai Bai, who also participated in the meeting.

Gui Xingchao stood up, unlike Lin Hai, he didn't hold any notebook in his hand, but opened his mouth and began to report:

"In this attack, 130 and seven of our villagers were killed, three were seriously injured, and [-] were slightly injured. That is to say, except for the women, the elderly and children who were in charge of logistics, our villagers were basically injured.

As for the guards selected from among the citizens, the loss was even greater. A total of 370 people were killed, and the rest were slightly injured.
The casualties of the mercenaries were less, about 48 were killed, no serious injuries, and 140 were slightly injured. However, some of them were fraudulent injuries for the high bounty, and the third correction is being identified.As for the Knights' Association..."

Lin Guiyao nodded, indicating that he understood.

The loss this time somewhat exceeded his expectations. In the late stage of the attack of the infected beasts, his green-named villagers took up weapons and participated in the battle spontaneously.
However, although they lacked training, although they had blood, their fighting qualities were still a bit poor, especially after the infected cockroaches and palm monkeys went up to the city wall, they were basically helpless and waiting to die.

"Then it's about materials..." Gui Xingchao continued to report. Since the participants were not all from Hope City, he sorted out his wording a little and only gave a general overview.

"The loss of ammunition and firearms is relatively serious, mainly in terms of ammunition. As for the explosives, giant cocklebur and ghost thorns, the consumption is almost the same. There are still fifty pairs of bamboo rats left. Since the battle lasted only half a day, there is no need for food and drinking water. It has little impact.”

"Then there's security and bounties..."

Gui Xingchao glanced at Lin Guiyao, and continued after seeing him nodding.

"There are only a few criminals who are causing trouble in the city. They want to take the opportunity to disturb people's hearts and escape. They have been cleaned up by Chen Elong's law enforcement team. The emotions of other citizens and traveling merchants are still very stable, and there is nothing wrong with it for a while. risk."

Here, Gui Xingchao concealed Chen Elong and caught a few people with bad intentions. They should be spies of other forces, but it is not very convenient to say it out. He will report to Lin Guiyao after he tortures the information at midnight.

"The rewards for the mercenaries and merchant guards who assisted in the defense have been distributed. A total of 18 city coins have been spent. There are fewer mercenaries who follow the lord out of the city to meet the attack. However, if we want to settle according to the ten times the bounty that the lord said, we must at least They still need to pay them 35 metropolitan coins!"

"More than 50 yuan has been spent? Do we have that much money?" Lin Guiyao asked with a frown.

"That's the problem. We don't have that much cash." Gui Xingchao shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly.

This lord really has a good habit of spending money when he has money. Basically, he will not have more than 50 Metropolitan Coins on hand. If it is not for the need for a little liquidity to operate the territory, it is estimated that he will not even have the 50.

But it is impossible to use all of it to pay the bounty, which will cause the operation of the city to come to a standstill, so he can only pay part of it first.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he understood Lin Guiyao's thoughts. After all, money is not a real material thing.

Although he has never experienced modern finance, Gui Xingchao does not know the true power of currency, but this does not prevent him from seeing the danger of prices being controlled by others at any time.

"Then what do you do with the remaining bounties of these mercenaries? Aren't they making trouble?"

Lin Guiyao has a headache. It is difficult to accumulate reputation, but it is easy to destroy it. Just one breach of trust can destroy all previous efforts.

"It seems that I shouldn't make a promise so easily, I'm sorry everyone."

"The village chief doesn't need to blame himself. In the situation at that time, it was true that only a lot of money could mobilize their enthusiasm for defending the city as quickly as possible, and if it weren't for these mercenaries, those infected bodies that jumped on the top of the city would be able to tear our defenses apart. crack!
Fortunately, the village chief opened the mouth, otherwise we might not be able to sit here and have a small meeting and drink, right?Ha ha! "

Everyone smiled when they heard Gui Xingchao's words.

Gui Xingchao smiled, and pointed to Wang Bing who was sitting in the front row: "And the village chief doesn't have to worry about the money, the bounties for the scattered mercenaries and merchant guards have already been settled, and most of the rest that have not yet been settled They are mercenaries from a mercenary regiment, Wang Bing is also very familiar with them, the rest, you say?"

Wang Bing nodded and stood up.
