As a light cavalry army, the Gale Army all wore light armor such as leather armor, so before that horrific natural disaster, their casualties were the highest.

Moreover, when they were in the underground abyss, almost all their horses were injured. At the same time, they were unable to exert their cavalry advantage in that environment, and there were also many subsequent casualties.

"The Fire Army, more than 9,000 people died in the battle..."

It was Lu Yuan's turn, because Ranbir, the leader of the Royal Knights, was seriously injured by Zi Ji and died of his injuries.

At that time, due to Ranbir's suggestion, the Royal Knights temporarily merged with the Tianying Army into one army, and were unified under the command of Lu Yuan.

Until now, the Royal Knights are still commanded by Lu Yuan.

"Royal Knights, the second division suffered the heaviest casualties this time, with nearly 3,000 soldiers killed, and almost all the remaining soldiers were injured. The other nine divisions suffered a total of more than 2,000 soldiers killed and more than 10,000 injured."

Lu Yuan said.

Upon hearing the casualties of the Royal Knights, Emperor Xueye, who was sitting on the throne, opened his eyes with an ugly expression.

The Royal Knights belong directly to the Tiandou royal family. Although it sounds like the number of casualties is much lower than that of other armies, with only nearly 6,000 people killed.

But you must know that the Royal Knights itself has an establishment of only 50,000 people, which is half of the establishment of the major legions.

Therefore, the death toll of six thousand was enough to make Emperor Xue Ye feel distressed.

Lu Yuan continued, "More than 5,200 people of the Tianying Army died in battle..."

Actually speaking, the Tianying Army suffered the heaviest casualties. After all, after the battle at Zhennanguan, there were only more than 30,000 Tianying Army left.

In this war, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left.

Even Lu Yuan felt very distressed. After all, these were soldiers he had spent a lot of time and money training.

It can even be said that in terms of elite level, it is even higher than the major titled corps.

If the configuration of the Royal Knights hadn't been too abnormal, with more than three of the commanders being soul masters, the Sky Shadow Army would have been even more elite than the Royal Knights.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue sighed, "According to the laws of the empire, the funeral arrangements for the wounded and wounded soldiers must be properly arranged. The pensions of the fallen soldiers must be sent to their families."

In fact, it is better to say that the wounded soldiers were injured, and the dead soldiers basically had no bones left. After all, the battlefield had turned into an underground abyss.

Whether they were killed on the battlefield or later sacrificed in the underground abyss, there was no way to collect the corpses.

It can only be buried deep in the abyss of the earth, which can be regarded as sleeping underground.

"Everyone, we must properly arrange the sacrificed soldiers, and we must not let the people of the empire feel cold." Qian Renxue said meaningfully to the Prime Minister of the Empire and the new Minister of Finance.

"Yes, Your Highness." The Imperial Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance said quickly.

"Okay, it's time to reward based on merit. The old friend has passed away, but the great achievements now have to be rewarded." Qian Renxue then said with a smile.

"What do you think?"

She looked at Lu Yuan, Ge Long and other generals, hoping that they would be the first to come out and ask for credit.

At this moment, unexpectedly, the gray-haired Marquis Xuanwu came out first and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I think this great achievement should be rewarded first..."

"Tianyinghou!"

Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, Marquis Xuanwu was the first to stand up and ask for credit for Lu Yuan!

Lu Yuan was also very surprised.

But at this moment, Marquis Xuanwu said firmly, "Marquis Tianying commanded the Sky Shadow Army and the Royal Knights, and at the same time rescued the Royal Knights and the Gale Army immediately on the battlefield, and then took the lead and charged in front of the battlefield..."

"Senior La Ast was ordered to resist the attack of the hundred thousand year old soul beast head-on, and at the same time, he saw through the soul beast's trick, and saved Tiandou City and the tens of thousands of people in the city..."

"At the same time, when he fell into the abyss, he immediately protected His Highness the Crown Prince. At the same time, relying on Tianyinghou's own ability, he rescued the remaining soldiers of the army and returned to Tiandou City."

Marquis Xuanwu said slowly, "So, this war minister believes that Marquis Tianying should take the lead!"

After everyone listened to his words, they immediately felt that they made sense.

Not to mention anything else, it was to finally help the remaining Tiandou army escape. This was Po Tian's great achievement.

Otherwise, there would be no need to talk about the casualties in this battle. Nearly 700,000 troops would be trapped in the underground abyss. Without supplies, they could only slowly wait to die.

Although nearly 400,000 troops suffered casualties, at least there were still soldiers who survived.

Not to mention other achievements such as protecting Tiandou City, resisting the Titan Giant Ape, and protecting Qian Renxue.

All of these are great merits, and every one of them is at least a great merit that can lead to a knighthood, or at least a great merit that can lead to the level of a marquis.

But Lu Yuan was already an imperial noble at the level of Marquis and Prince Shaobao.

Wouldn't it be great if you have great achievements...

Emperor Xue Ye frowned at this moment and looked at Lu Yuan below.

Lu Yuan looked at Marquis Xuanwu with some curiosity, and saw Marquis Xuanwu turning his head and smiling slightly at him.

Obviously he was trying to please Lu Yuan.

Liehuo Hou on the side saw it and immediately cursed in his heart, "Old fox."

He also quickly stood up at this moment, "I also think that Tianyinghou takes the greatest credit in this battle."
