Casualties and chaos immediately caused individuals to flee, which then spread into group behavior.
Although some individuals successfully achieved zero-kill breakthroughs during this period, the attrition gap could not be evened out under the protection of military shields, and those who launched successful attacks would soon be concentrated. These weapons specially prepared for kinetic shield-breaking were concentrated. During fire, a higher level of magic shield may not necessarily last one second longer.
At this point, the demons were completely in chaos. Only some of them fled towards the planned west, and some of them were intercepted by the 301st Battalion.
After a discussion, overall it was just a "sneak attack success", and the gains can be said to be very limited.
Yes, the intermediate demon clan that is integrated into the open space can indeed be split into two and attack from two directions, and the overall strength is far beyond that of the little demons. The few demons that survived even if they were broken into pieces also caused accidental casualties during the subsequent cleanup process.
But overall, it seems that because of their "brains", the performance of this group of demons in the face of casualties is not as good as that of clustered low-level demons.
If the demons can't think of a better way to close the range gap and achieve large-scale shield-breaking kills in the future, they may have to take a longer detour to and from the temporary world gate, or they may only operate under the cover of the Stinky Fish. After all, as a living high-density air-proof balloon, the Stinky Fish will indeed affect the effects of airborne and anti-aircraft shooting.
Speaking of stinky fish, this thing has never spread in all directions.
The demons definitely hope that the stink fish can cover the entire sky, but the stink fish themselves cannot survive by eating air. When no one is paying attention, they will gradually gather above the water body and choose the opportunity to enter the water.
Its survival density after entering the water is barely comparable to that of Cypriniformes. The density is quite high. The problem is that the water body is in any case too small compared to the sky.
Those stink fish that cannot obtain living space in the water will also choose to land on the ground to forage. Not to mention the efficiency of foraging and digestion, the appearance of the fish after exhaust determines that once it comes ashore, it will be the ration of other creatures. Once discovered, there is no time to re-inflate.
The gas of the stinky fish is not only the key to its floating, but also the factor that prevents disgusting natural enemies from annihilating the group. Unfortunately, most of the effects will be lost after exhausting the gas. Although some carnivores will hate it, more creatures that are not competitive enough will not Mind you, especially scavengers such as tuatara and wild boar.
In areas where there are human activities, the survivability of stinkfish is not good.
There are two places within the territory that are seriously affected by the stinking fish. One is the northeastern part of the Phoenix plate. There are many shallow lakes formed after increased rainfall. These lakes are in a state of stagnant water most of the time. Only after heavy rains, the lake surface of each water body When connected, they will flow southward out of the island along the low-lying areas.
The method to deal with the invasion of stink fish is also very simple, just put carnivorous fish into these waters.
In one hectare of water, as long as a dozen carnivorous fish of a certain size are present, the stink fish can only attack aquatic plants and duckweeds, and dare not stay in the water for too long. At this time, their natural density will gradually drop to the maximum feeding density of carnivorous fish. About ten times as high as air defense balloons can no longer affect areas outside water bodies.
Generally speaking, although the stinkfish can fly, it is a very weak bottom creature, and its survival strategy is not necessarily better than that of lungfish, loach and other types that survive buried in the soil.
The original water bodies and the new water bodies connected to them will have some carnivorous fish schools, and simple biological control can also be done in the occupied areas. Their overall growth rate is very limited, and their influence is almost negligible outside the areas occupied by the demons.
Back to post-battle statistics.
A total of 630 casualties occurred at the battle site. With the support of the healing magic personnel accompanying the army, nearly 200 of them were saved. Deducting the remaining dozens of disabled people who were helpless, the losses of the 1st Regiment and the 41st Regiment were 150 and 200 respectively. , the latter can go to the slime mold center to be a ghost for a while, rest and then reincarnate.
Over 1,400 enemy troops were directly killed. If calculated based on the on-the-spot attrition ratio, the exchange ratio is 2.2 to 1. This exchange ratio is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the troops formed by the intermediate demons is not bad, especially some of the special abilities of the demons are difficult to guard against. Once our own army If you step outside the military shield, you will face various risks.
Now that most of the enemy is on the run, they can look better after medical rescue and the reincarnation of the slime mold troops. However, since the total number of our own troops is small, it can hardly be called a crushing game.
There is a good situation here. Our exposed strength in this battle is also relatively limited.
The main benefit is the Ripper cannon.
Like the two guns Wang Qi brought out when he was traveling, the full power output of the Ripper consumes a lot of energy. In many cases, in order to maintain shooting continuity, soldiers prefer to use heavy rain mode.
It's not that the soldiers would rather die than use the solidified gas boundary mode, but that the Ripper uses this mode within a certain distance. In addition to being more powerful, it cannot show its greatest advantage - range.
Its range is out of touch with most existing equipment, and it can effectively threaten targets two thousand meters away. Due to factors such as the lack of cooperation with other weapons and the decrease in hit rate caused by long distances, the military is not willing to use it like this. A waste of ammo and energy over long distances.
The key point is that this highly mobile demon is not big enough. If it were bigger, it would be easier to "bump" into the shells, and the troops would not have to move closer to fight.
As for power, in the chaotic battle process, it is difficult to really distinguish the difference between one shot that penetrates the shield and two shots that penetrate the shield.
In short, through interrogation of the captured demons, it was found that basically no prisoners realized that the Ripper was a weapon of another level.
The prisoners were divided into two parts: main battlefield treatment and capture by the 301st Battalion.
The 301st Battalion did not escape as a whole, but the results were not very good either.
According to estimates from the main battlefield, the total number of demons who fled westward and passed through the attack range of the 301st Battalion was around five hundred, and these five hundred did not rush together together. In fact, the 301st Battalion only intercepted half of them and successfully captured 155 of them.
It is better than the worst-case scenario expected, but considering the capabilities of the 301st Battalion, such friendly forces are still not trustworthy. We don’t know what will happen when our own side is at a disadvantage, and they are still far from being able to mix with the main force.
The results on the main battlefield were slightly better, with more than 180 demons captured and revived.
Compared with the proportion of kills, it is low. On the one hand, the abilities of the middle and high-level demons are weird, and the casualties caused during the cleanup process have delayed the action. On the other hand, the number of medical magic personnel is not enough, and you must save your own people first. There are many demons who are He bled to death in the process.
Finally, there are the main world "guests" and supplies.
Only about one-third of this group of demons carried the loot. They stayed behind together with the group that imprisoned the captives in the main world and did not directly join the frontal battlefield.
About a quarter of the captives in the main world were lucky. Before the war started, there were demons who stayed behind and wanted to join in the fun, so they were put on the ground. The rest were not so good. They were all chased from the air during the period of dispersion. It was thrown directly from the air to the ground.
The terrain of the tall grass plain is good, and the tall grass is also good for buffering, but it is far from the harmless effect of Leap of Faith and haystacks. Even if it rained in this area the day before, the soil has softened. Survival rates for being dropped remain low.
Anyway, the total number of healthy and disabled people found in the final search was less than eighty.
A lot of the loot was also thrown away during the later chase, and some of it was even thrown into the steam sea below the floating island.
Judging from the counting results, there was nothing wrong with the demon intelligence provided by the 301st Battalion, half of which was pure gold products such as gold bars, gold bricks, gold coins, gold beans, and calendula.
For other trophies, silver products account for a smaller proportion of the total. Most of them are silver candlesticks and other items that are more decorative than resource. There are a smaller amount of magic crystals, plus small jewelry and staffs. All added together, and another type of trophies. Proportionally equal - steel sword!
These steel swords are naturally not ordinary goods in the main world. They are a specialty of the Kingdom of Lado. They are specially used to award nobles with swords. It is determined that the total content of nickel, chromium, copper and rare earth elements is about 11%.
It's a pity that they are completely useless to the kingdom. Although the rare earth elements in them can enhance the sword body to a certain extent, the overall performance is not as good as our own special steel, let alone titanium alloy products.
As for how they refine rare earths... they don't refine them at all. There are a lot of processes of burying soil and mixing ash in manual forging. These things are basically smashed in like the carburizing method. It can't be called fine proportioning and re-smelting at most. There is a small amount of magic training.
Rare earth minerals are most likely just ordinary earth in the forging place.
If you are interested in this kind of thing, why not come and grab your own steel?
Probably because I can’t win.
