After the cavalry from Mengchuan City entered the large camp, the statistics showed that the casualties of the allied forces in the camp were even more terrifying than on the front lines, with the death toll likely exceeding 200,000.
This round of bombardment alone caused at least 360,000 casualties among the allied soldiers.
In cold weapon warfare, an army that doesn't collapse with over ten percent casualties is already considered an elite among elites.
With over 1,000,000 allied troops in total, suffering over thirty percent casualties in one go naturally led to their collapse.
When Mengchuan City's forces believed this was the result of this wave of bombardment, facts proved they had underestimated the tragic state of a super-large cluster of troops in disarray.
A small team of Mengchuan City's cavalry was ordered to scout along the allied forces' retreat route, and what they saw along the way were layers upon layers of corpses with no gaps.
Some were wounded and burned escaping, but most of the bodies had broken bones and snapped tendons, clearly trampled to death by friendly forces on the road due to their overly hasty escape.
Especially at several canyon passes, the density of corpses was simply unbearable to look at.
Blood flowed everywhere.
When the people of Mengchuan City arrived, they could still see many people with a last breath, wailing in this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
A quick calculation showed that over 100,000 of these allied forces died from internal chaos and trampling just during their escape.
Therefore, the total gains from this battle for the reinforcements should exceed 400,000!
This number is nothing short of shocking.
Lin Yilong, as the commander of the reinforcements, also gasped when he heard of such terrifying casualties.
Even their command center had not anticipated such a result before the battle.
There was no way, they also had no experience fighting this kind of battle.
After a post-battle review, many commanders believed there were many reasons for such heavy casualties.
One reason was that the simultaneous firing of such a large-scale cluster of artillery and rocket launchers was probably unprecedented even on Blue Star, with overly terrifying firepower density, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide.
Another reason was the Otherworld people's lack of countermeasures against weapons like artillery, and their complete lack of preparation; whether it was the military formations lined up for the siege or the allied camp, they were quite dense, often seeing a single shell kill dozens of people, which is almost impossible on a Blue Star battlefield. Even armies with excellent matching mechanisms like the Black Continent's 'Black Uncles' wouldn't be foolish enough to let so many people stand together to be bombed, and here it was still the cold weapon warfare era, where dense formations were very common.
There was also an important reason: people in this world had almost no understanding of artillery weapons. Although Vivi had previously tried out a few artillery pieces.
But those were very outdated products brought by Su Yi, and there were too few of them. The allied forces, when bombed, thought it was some kind of magic and didn't take it seriously at all.
The lack of understanding of artillery led to a greatly increased lethality of this weapon.
On Blue Star, everyone knows to lie down when bombed. Although this method is clumsy, it can indeed increase the chance of survival.
However, people in this world have no such concept; when bombed, they only know to run around aimlessly.
They completely unaware that artillery has a range of tens of kilometers, so running is useless.
The superposition of so many factors led to the current battle results.
Lin Yilong had gone up the city wall to observe the situation outside. To protect the mental health of the soldiers, he even only dared to tell the soldiers in the reinforcements that they had achieved a great victory in this battle, as for how many enemies were annihilated and what the actual battle situation was like, he simply kept silent.
He also ordered that those in the command center who could observe the front line with drones were not allowed to speak carelessly about it.
Such a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was still a bit too overwhelming for Blue Star people.
It was to the extent that a photograph posted online would require full censorship.
Unlike the post-battle statistics and experience summaries on the reinforcement side.
Vivi almost jumped for joy after seeing the terrifying battle results.
As a noble of the Magic World, an old feudal lord, she had long been accustomed to the slaughter on the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of casualties in a war were commonplace in the Magic World.
Not to mention her, the army in Mengchuan City, and even ordinary residents, only marveled at how powerful the reinforcement's weapons were, but no one thought that killing too many enemies was inhumane or anything like that.
That's just how their world is; when fighting a war, you must be prepared to die, whether it's killing enemies or being killed, there's no moral burden.
Only people from Blue Star, who have lived in peace for a long time, would feel uncomfortable with such casualty figures and battlefields.
Afterward, Vivi was not stingy; she directly gave 1,000 barrels of the captured 5,000 barrels of life water to the reinforcements, and planned to take 2,000 barrels from the remainder as a thank you gift for Su Yi.
As for the tens of thousands of tons of magical ingredients, Mengchuan City's current situation made it impossible to consume them internally, so they naturally still had to be traded with Su Yi.
...
On Blue Star, Su Yi had not yet received news of Mengchuan City's great victory.
However, he was not idle either.
After finishing the matter of sending reinforcements to the Otherworld, the chain reaction caused by Tianyu Group's previous actions in Suo Country finally appeared after a two-day delay.
The White-headed Eagle's military aircraft were struck by Tianyu Group, and the White-headed Eagle dared not make a sound, but that didn't mean they let the matter go.
After sending many elite special forces to approach the pirate town for close-range reconnaissance and discovering that it had become a completely empty city, the White-headed Eagle immediately informed the media, and the news spread throughout the world.
Many of those special forces were actually caught by the people left behind by the Tianyu Group Security Department to clean up. There were no close-up shots, but there was no shortage of photos taken from a distance with military cameras.
The White-headed Eagle dared not mention the humiliating fact that their overseas garrisons were beaten by the Tianyu Group Security Department's exoskeleton warriors to the point of not daring to approach, so they could only claim that these photo evidences were taken by some random passersby or tourists.
One by one, they were a bit blurry, but the empty city and the traces of war were enough to indicate that a battle had indeed occurred there, and there were indeed no people left in the city.
Moreover, they also found some people who originally lived in the city and had fled during Tianyu Group's operation, and had them come forward to identify.
They even directly sued Tianyu Group in a White-headed Eagle court.
With the White-headed Eagle's promotion, the news, through Western media channels, almost instantly flooded all regions worldwide within a single day.
A huge hat of anti-humanity was also directly placed on Su Yi's head.
