Just as Wenyuan and Su Bai were explaining the secrets of the beast tamer, the deputy battalion commander ran over to report after completing the tally of casualties:
"Master Wen Yuan, the casualties of this battle have been tallied."
"We have six hundred and eighty-two dead, two hundred and eighteen severely wounded, and the rest mostly lightly injured."
"Report completed, please give instructions!"
Wenyuan looked at the deputy battalion commander, who was covered in injuries, nodded, and patted his shoulder, saying:
"Everyone has worked hard, you are all excellent!"
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
As soon as they heard the words "go home," the students who had been somewhat absent-minded due to the battle suddenly lit up with determination in their eyes.
Wave after wave of Shadow Cat on the battlefield tore their roommates, classmates, and even their mentors into shreds, leaving them forever on this battlefield.
The cold battlefield has forged the iron and perseverance of the surviving students, but when it comes to going home, their tense strings finally loosen. The boys' eyes are red, holding back tears. The girls are huddled together, crying. It's at this moment that they realize they are only eighteen years old, and they are just freshmen in college.
Even the fifteen-year veteran deputy battalion commander was moved by this scene, his fierce eyes turning red as he once again saluted Wenyuan with deep emotion.
"Yes!"
The severely injured students were carried on the backs of others, while the rest of the group used their weapons as makeshift crutches, slowly making their way back to the camp.
When they came, they were still youthful teenagers, still freshmen at Wuda. A queue of over 1,200 people, each with a look of nervousness and innocent curiosity about to head to the battlefield. But when they returned, only over 500 remained, each carrying injuries, but the nervousness and innocence had faded away.
The return journey of these ten kilometers was very slow, and it took more than two hours for everyone to complete it. Master Wen Yuan silently led the team in front. Five members of the Rapid Response Force guarded the students, swiftly dealing with any Shadow Cat that approached.
F269 military base outside.
After the company commander killed the last Shadow Cat, he wiped the bloodstained broadsword clean on his clothes and then sheathed it.
"Brothers, we have killed all the Shadow Cats, quickly clean up the battlefield!"
"deputy battalion commander is still waiting for us to provide support over there!"
"Zhang Dabiao, take your platoon soldiers with me to support deputy battalion commander, hopefully they can hold on!"
After Zhang Dabiao responded, he immediately turned around to organize the personnel.
At this moment, the Camp Communication Officer hurriedly ran to the company commander and reported, "Sir! We have just received orders from higher-ups. Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Jinyang and the Wu university teacher students have finished the battle, decapitating over eight hundred Shadow Cats, including one Silver Level and twenty-four Bronze Level. They are currently returning under the leadership of Master Wen Yuan. We need to prepare for their reception!"
After the correspondent finished reporting, the company commander breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "The battle is over? That's good..." Then the company commander suddenly realized, widened his eyes, and looked at the correspondent in disbelief, repeating,
"What? Say that again?"
"Silver Level?!! How is that possible!"
The communication officer was startled by the company commander's reaction, but he had reacted the same way when he received the orders from the higher-ups. So, he confirmed with the company commander three times before the company commander accepted this fact.
company commander was stunned on the spot, murmuring:
"Damn, these kids are amazing, they even took down the Silver Level!"
"Old Wang, this deputy battalion commander is probably going to get promoted soon!"
Suddenly, the company commander seemed to remember something and shouted, "Zhang Dabiao! Get back here! We don't need to support the deputy battalion commander!" "Everyone, clean up the battlefield at the fastest speed!" "Within an hour, there should not be a single Shadow Cat body outside the camp area!" "Hurry up! Move it, everyone!"
The words of the correspondent also reached the ears of some soldiers, who began to discuss the matter of Deputy Battalion Commander and Wu Da student solving the Silver-rank Phantom Cat.
...
As the sunlight of the setting sun fell on the earth, a group of people could barely see F269 military base.
At this moment, the battlefield has been cleared by the soldiers. The company commander personally led 500 soldiers to form two long lines, standing on both sides of the camp gate to welcome the return of the Wu university teacher and students.
The soldiers' formation extended for hundreds of meters, and each soldier eagerly awaited the heroes' return.
Upon seeing Master Wen Yuan and the others returning, the company commander's mouth curved into a smile as he shouted loudly:
"All present!"
"Salute!"
Hundreds of soldiers raised their right arms in a uniform and orderly manner to salute.
"Raise the flag!"
Dozens of tribal war flags were raised high by the soldiers.
The blood-red flags, as well as the pattern of the Great Wall, fluttered in the wind.
The place where the flag flies is the indomitable spirit of humanity in the Battlefield of Myriad Tribes. The company commander continues to shout loudly: "Beat the drum!" "Boom boom boom!"
The stirring sound of war drums entered the ears of the students, instantly making them feel lighter all over, as if their fatigue had been greatly reduced. The drumming continued without stopping, and the company commander rallied his spirits, shouting once again, "The Dragon Kingdom Great Wall."
Five hundred soldiers shouted in unison:
"With me, we won't fall!"
"myriad ethnic groups fighting."
"I am for vanguard!"
"Indomitable in a Hundred Battles."
"The human race will prevail!"
The shouts rose to the sky and echoed through the heavens and the earth. One by one, the soldiers clenched their fists and placed their right hands on their chests. Their expressions were resolute, and they showed no fear, as if they wanted to use this method to dispel the haze of the recent hard-fought battle in the hearts of the students. The students were infected by this indomitable spirit, and regardless of whether they were lightly or seriously injured, they all raised their weapons high and shouted along with the soldiers.
"The human race will win!"
"The human race will win!"
After the cheers, under the personal leadership of company commander, everyone made their way to the military hospital to receive initial treatment for their injuries.
Since everyone is a warrior, as long as it's not a fatal injury, recovery is usually quite fast. With the help of hospital medication and the body's own self-healing abilities, most of the lightly injured students have already almost fully recovered. As for the severely injured individuals, they will be arranged to continue treatment after returning to the martial arts academy.
During this time, the company commander sent soldiers to retrieve the bodies of the fallen from the battlefield. After a brief rest, the students slowly recovered from the battlefield environment.
