The casualty numbers had been tallied: one hundred and eighty-six dead, three hundred and fourteen wounded, and as the severely injured continued to succumb to their injuries, the number of dead would rise even further. Gao Yang estimated the final death toll would be around three hundred, including nineteen deaths and thirteen lightly wounded from the Instruction Platoon.
After finally obtaining a more accurate count of the casualties, Gao Yang remained silent for a long time. Eventually, he let out a sigh and said, "Just over sixty enemies caused five hundred casualties. What a devastating loss."
Glolov shook his head and said, "I don't think so. We were ambushed at night by elite mercenaries. At the cost of five hundred casualties, we annihilated sixty-four of the enemy. If we include those on the ship, that makes eighty-seven. Considering the huge gap in strength between us and the enemy, I think this is a great victory, a very great victory."
