Last Totem Novel - Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Bamboo Leaf

Before dark, Giant Ah Mu led the logistical staff to clear an open space. Not long after, the Dark Night Lighthouse sent out small aircraft to pick up most of the wounded. The next morning, at dawn, Tie Zha ordered them to pack their bags and return immediately.

After more than ten days of trials and hardships, the exhausted team finally arrived at the night lighthouse. Tie Zha announced his disbandment on the spot, and the soldiers scattered in all directions, returning to their camps to rest.

By the morning of the third day, Tie Zha had slept for more than 30 hours in a row and gradually regained his strength. Afterwards, he summoned Qin Ke’er to discuss the following matters.

In terms of personnel, more than half of the 64 Marines of the Wolf Legion were killed and wounded. Currently, only 31 members were active. Six of the wounded were lying in hospital. Four of them could return after half a month. The remaining two were permanently disabled. They could only receive disability benefits and retire. The remaining 27 members were all killed in battle. In addition, there were still eleven members left in the Fireworks Legion. They collectively proposed to Tie Zha that they hoped to join the Wolf Legion like the students of the Black Knights of the North.

After discussing with Mu Yuqinxin, Tie Zha agreed to their request. Currently, the Wolf Legion had 46 active Marines.

As for the mecha pilots, even the fifteen mecha pilots, including Mu Qianhe, were unharmed, and the mecha had been preserved intact. However, this loss was based on the fact that Tie Zha had counted all the losses on the sixth squad. On the day of retreat, Tie Zha gathered the remaining mecha of the sixth brigade and picked out the good ones to take away, leaving the badly damaged ones to the sixth brigade. Although his actions were very hooliganism, after experiencing the friendship of fighting side by side, the pilots of the sixth brigade remained silent. After all, the mecha was not their personal property. They were all from the Dark Jungle Guards.

There were 90 logistical personnel. Apart from the one who had been hit by the stinger bug, there was basically no loss.

As for credits, on the day he returned to the camp, General Li Qi allocated 3,000 credits to Tie Zha, and promised that the portion of the “surprise attack on the Abyss Ant Queen laid the foundation for victory in the war and achieved brilliant results” would be rewarded after the overall merit assessment.

Together with the remaining credits from before, the Wolf Legion had 3,200 credits on their books.

In terms of gold income, he collected a total of 492 pairs of large canine teeth and 161 stinger tail bones, which he exchanged for 975 gold at General Richie’s place. Afterwards, Tie Zha found Giant Mulberry and launched a highly damaged mass-produced first-generation psionic power armor, a highly damaged second-generation psionic power armor, and a highly damaged and intact Temple custom-made first-generation psionic power armor, Holy Light, on the black market. The four power armors sold for a total of 7,300 gold coins. The most expensive item was the intact Holy Light, which sold for more than 4,000 gold coins. However, it was still 30% cheaper than the market price. After all, Tie Zha was anxious to make a move, and there weren’t many merchants who dared to take over Holy Light Power Armor.

After that, Qin Ke’er tidied up a bill and handed it to Tie Zha.

Book: 3,200 credits, 8,275 gold.

Estimated cost:

Mecha maintenance and ammunition replenishment costs (unpaid): projected 600 gold

Maintenance of logistical vehicles and supplies (unpaid): 200 projected

Pensions and disability benefits (unpaid), 27 killed in battle, 2 permanently disabled, estimated 2,900 credits, 27 Team Honor Points deducted

Task Dividend (Unpaid): Based on 30% of the mission’s earnings, it is estimated to be 900 credits

Exclude private property (unpaid): pending accounting by the review team …

Monthly personnel salaries (unpaid), Mech pilot (20*14) 280 gold, Marine (15*45) 675 gold, Core member (30*11) 330 gold, Reserve soldier (21*15) 315 gold, Logistics personnel (69*12) 828 gold; The total monthly expenditure is 2,428 gold.

Monthly consumption (unpaid), barracks rental fee 3*7 for 21 credits, meals (to be determined)

After reading the list, Tie Zha felt bad. Without waiting for the results of the review team’s accounting, he was already in full deficit.

“What’s going on?” Tie Zha stared at Qin Ke’er and asked in disbelief. Not only did he not earn any money, he also suffered a loss after coming back from a trip.

“Sir Guild Leader, you left with only twelve Marines and three mechs.” Qin Ke’er reminded.

“Is that so?” “Yes, Guild Leader.” “Are you sure?” “Ke’er is sure.” “Why do I feel like I’m losing?” “That must be an illusion, Guild Leader.”

Tie Zha put down the bill and asked again, “Is that so?”

“Yes, Guild Leader.” Qin Ke’er replied patiently. There was not a trace of impatience in her pious tone. The Guild Leader in front of him was no longer the country bumpkin who had just arrived from the Northern Wilderness. Instead, he was the leader of a medium-sized guild. She saw in the eyes of the soldiers the respect they had for the captain from the bottom of their hearts.

The cohesion of this team was no longer something that money and credits could forge. Instead, it was a friendship that could only be obtained after experiencing the tests of blood and fire. Because they had fought side by side, because they had died together, because they had never left!

In the following week, with the help of Wang Hu and Mu Qianhe, Tie Zha regrouped his troops.

Team Name: Wolf Legion

Guild Leader: Sa Cha Cha,

Assistant Guild Leader: Bai Xiaoyun

Deputy Guild Leader: Wang Hu

Staff Officer: Jerome

Logistics Officer: Qin Ke’er

Captain Porcupine, Marine Team One, 12 players

Marine Team 2, Captain Match, 12 players

Captain Tuoba San, Marine Corps 3rd Squad, 12 players

Marine Team 4, Captain Marcus, 9 players

Mech Brigade Captain Mu Qianhe, Vice Captain Ma Wen, 1 Tiger Mech, 2 Flamingo Mech, 12 Thunder Fire Mech

The logistic brigade leader, Ju Ahmu, had 21 reserve soldiers and 69 logistic personnel.

The squad was fully equipped and ready to enter the plane’s entrance at any time, marching into the No.5 Desert.

However, there are two more urgent matters that need to be addressed immediately. On the one hand, the Wolf Legion had to undergo a thorough review by the censorship team, eliminating the personal property of Alan Rudolph, the former Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion, and McRowe, the former Black In addition, Tie Zha was also investigated by the review team to confirm that he had no direct connection with the deaths of the two captains.

On the other hand, he needed to wait for the exact distribution of his merits. Otherwise, his budget would be in deficit. Not to mention entering Desert Five, he would not even be able to pay his wages now.

By Dr3712-12-15, as the climate in the central continent gradually cooled, a large aircraft flew over the Dark Night Lighthouse. From below, both sides and the bottom of the aircraft were painted with the signs of green snakes wrapping around wooden sticks and bamboo leaves flying everywhere.

This is the exclusive aircraft of CSUM’s Student Union Secretary-General, the Bamboo Leaf.

Bi Qinglan is here …

(Volume VII, End)

At this point in the story, the world outlook gradually appeared in front of you. From the perspective of writing, one of the basic goals of the first 600,000 words was to show the politics, economy, culture, history, faith, armaments, and power system of the Silver City world. I will not easily break and change the world outlook and rules that I have forged. It was like once the rules of a game were set, they couldn’t be easily changed, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun.

In the following story, I will try my best to perfect the structure of Silver City World.

In this world, there are wastelands filled with green barbarians, cities brightly lit, beliefs persisted for a thousand years, adventures in unknown worlds, battles and conquests in different planes, and immortal legends in this world …

Here, people wore motorized armor, piloted mecha, and used hot weapons to fight the berserk Abyss Devils. They fought against the overwhelming swarm of bee ants and insects that swept over the sky and earth, and against the sturdy, ancient, mysterious, bloodthirsty, and brutal outsiders of the Wilderness …

There was also that dusty but unforgettable history here, as well as that deep but insurmountable love, hate, and enmity …

All of this will happen in this vast land …
