Chapter 57 Casualties
The conditions in Pi City are so good!
Because law enforcement officers have been required to stay on the bridge to block Zaun recently, the council actually built a temporary material warehouse nearby.
When Vi and Vandel arrived at the warehouse, they saw the warehouse full of supplies!
Food, clothing, daily necessities, as well as weapons and ammunition, all kinds of materials filled most of the nearly 500 square meters warehouse!
Fander climaxed…
There was electric current coming from the soles of his feet and rising straight to his scalp!
"Quick...quick!"
He infatuatedly ordered the workers behind him: "Go and gather more people to move things!"
"Fander!"
After Wei came back to her senses, she immediately started to argue: "You can't be greedy for all the supplies! Our Blue Bird Gang must get half of it!"
"Okay! No problem!"
Fandel's body was shaking with excitement, his face was filled with a joyful smile, and he nodded and explained: "In fact, it is appropriate to give all the loot to you, but the bridge has been blocked these days, and no supplies have been able to flow into Zaun. "
Pointing at the materials in the warehouse, Fandel said calmly: "I only take food and send it back to Zaun first for everyone to fill their bellies. Now that the bridge has been captured by us, supplies will naturally flow into Zaun."
Hearing this, Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, leave some of that food for our children of the Blue Bird Gang."
"It should! It should..."
Fandel nodded repeatedly, and immediately turned around to urge the many Zaans who were still unable to recover.
…
While Wei and Fandel were discussing how to divide the spoils, Ke Wen was standing on the metal pillar dozens of meters high at the end of the bridge and watching.
He looked over the battlefield, clearly understanding the casualties.
Although Janna is protected, Janna can only protect both parties from being killed by bullets.
Casualties appeared in the close combat that followed.
Many of the marshals were killed by the Zaun's crude weapons, and some Zaun were killed by the marshals' batons.
Of course, the number of deaths on the side of law enforcement officers was higher. Among the same number of thousands of law enforcement officers, the number of deaths exceeded 300.
The remaining more than 600 people were able to save their lives, and those who were hit by Jinx's gel bullets were the safest.
Apart from being quite frightened, they were actually trapped in the gel without any harm.
The number of people in this situation is probably a little over two hundred, which shows how efficient Jinx is!
As for the remaining four hundred people, their injuries ranged from minor to serious.
Those with minor injuries suffered only physical pain, those with moderate injuries were unconscious, and those with severe injuries often died.
On the other hand, on the Zaun side, their casualties were very small.
The number of deaths was less than fifty, and they were all those who were too excited and rushed too hard.
They dared to break away from Wei's leadership and rush into the crowd of law enforcement officers, so their lives were naturally trapped.
The rest are relatively intact.
The 500 or so people gathered by Hilko paddled the whole way.
They had no fighting skills to begin with. When the melee combat started, they were basically at a loss and didn't know what to do. They even forgot to drink the 'Glimmer Potion' in their pockets.
So those people stayed behind the crowd, and no one was injured.
Among the 500 people organized by Fandel, except for the more than 40 people who died, the injuries of others were not serious.
These people are more sensible, either following Wei to pick up heads, or uniting around Fandel to carry out joint operations.
Therefore, very few of these people were seriously injured. Only four people were attacked due to bad luck, and the others had only minor injuries and scratches.
In short, these were the casualties on both sides. It seemed that it could not be called a formal war at all. In Kewen's view, it could only be regarded as a conflict.
However, the hatred that should be born will still be born.
After today, I don't know how many families in Piltover will begin to hate the Zaun people deeply.
Ke Wen shook his head slightly, then raised his gaze to look at the top of the city wall in the distance.
He saw the lonely and sad little figure.
Coven knew that Heimerdinger must be extremely self-conscious at this time.
He blamed himself for his indifference to Zaun in the past, and also blamed himself for not speaking out firmly this time, and for failing to suppress and eliminate the signs of war from the beginning.
Corwin isn't worried that Heimerdinger will fail.
The other party is also an immortal species after all, and he has witnessed the rune wars in history with his own eyes.
He has seen a lot about war and death, and less than 400 people died in today's armed battle. Heimerdinger should be able to adjust his mentality soon.
Ke Wen couldn't help but have the thought that 'a gentleman can be bullied'.
He was thinking, should he find a way to make money for the families of those fallen law enforcement officers in the future?
In that case, Heimerdinger should be more dedicated to Zaun out of gratitude.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by Ke Wen.
Forget it, it's enough to bully Jace Tallis, don't play tricks on Heimerdinger, a cute little guy.
With a dumb chuckle, Kewen looked in the direction of the college.
I don’t know how far that guy Victor has gone with the design.
While thinking about it, Ke Wen, who was about to look away, paused again.
He squinted slightly and looked carefully at the area where the noble manor was located.
The sight over there made him sneer playfully, and then he quickly slid onto the bridge along the bridge's boom.
At this time, Fandel had returned to the bridge and started busy.
While he was directing people to move supplies, he was also paying attention to the work of rescuing the wounded.
After giving another order, he suddenly saw a familiar face.
After thinking for a while, he walked over.
In front of a collapsed sandbag bunker, Marcos slumped on the ground with his face covered in blood and in despair.
There were many law enforcement officers like him around, and all of them looked distracted.
There was no Zaun to take care of them, and the Zaun were not afraid that these defeated law enforcers would dare to resist again.
Because the Zaun people are protected by Janna!
Therefore, many law enforcement officers who were slightly injured were left alone by the Zaans who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Marcos is one of them.
He was slumped against the half-collapsed sandbag of the bunker like a pile of dead flesh, his limbs and head hanging limply, and his eyes were straight and he didn't know what he was thinking.
】
The sound of flying stones was heard, and Fandel's tall figure came to Marcus.
After looking down at the other person for a moment, Fandel knelt down.
"Young man...do you regret it?"
There was no mockery in his tone, but rather a sincere teaching.
Marcus slowly raised his head and looked at Fander with blank eyes.
Fandel sighed softly.
He raised his hand and held Marcos's shoulder: "Young man, you see, war is like this. After the madness, there will be countless tragedies."
"As long as you are alive." Fandel comforted in a low voice: "If you are alive, you can remember this lesson. Grayson and I both experienced the last war, so we became the kind of unworthy and cowardly people in your eyes."
Patting Marcos on the shoulder, Fandel stood up and said, "Think carefully, young man, peace is the most precious thing in the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fandel turned and left in the midst of Marcus's endless regret.
Not far away, he happened to bump into Ke Wen who had just walked off the bridge...
