Du You was delighted to have yet another follower. Though his pact ensured his subordinates wouldn't betray him, and his territory had its own deterrents, genuine devotion was distinctly different from passive obedience.
A follower with leadership abilities was quite a rare find. With Shaliya and Luo Jia taking charge of development and military affairs respectively, Du You felt confident that his territory could continue to prosper even in his absence.
The war gradually winded down and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield once the last Sandperson was eliminated.
"The statistics are ready." Luo Jia brought in a report.
Du You had seen his panel earlier. His territory's forces had decreased from 1,200 to 983, indicating a loss of about 217 troops in this battle, far more than he'd expected.
