"Both sides' interstellar warships have ceased fire. The casualties of our fleet have been tallied; this is the battlefield data reported by Akame," Secretary Lilith reported to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen glanced at it.

The most noticeable factor is combat consumption.

The battle cost 12 billion star coins.

One hundred billion of that is the combat cost of the fifty T3 Judgement-class heavy interstellar missile ships that were just launched.

If this money were placed with Chu Changhe, it could probably sustain a protracted battle with the princes' faction for five days or even more than a week.

But for Zhao Chen, it would be over in five minutes.

If Chu Changhe found out, he would definitely scold her for being a spendthrift and give his granddaughter a good reminder that she must manage her money carefully in the future and not let Zhao Chen squander it like this.

However, if Zhao Chen hadn't launched that 10 billion star coins worth of interstellar missiles, this legion battle wouldn't have ended in such a short time.

Excluding the time it took for both sides' fleets to sail, the actual time from the start of the battle to Saint Cana's announcement of surrender was less than an hour!

For Zhao Chen, the money was well spent.

If you look at the casualty figures for both sides, it's incredibly worthwhile.

Battle damage data for the JF-17 Legion:

First, there are the interstellar warships that were destroyed or severely damaged beyond repair, mainly the T3 Triceratops-class heavy interstellar assault frigates, the T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruisers, and the T3 Windhawk-class medium interstellar cruisers.

A total of twenty-three interstellar warships were lost, of which only a few were directly destroyed, while the vast majority were severely damaged and beyond repair.

As for the interstellar fighters and interstellar drones, there's no need to talk about the interstellar drones; Zhao Chen built them himself, so he wouldn't care about losing them.

The Starfighters suffered a loss rate of less than 5%, while the opposing Holy Angels Legion suffered a loss rate as high as 60%.

If this battle hadn't ended in time, the Holy Angel Legion would probably have completely lost interstellar air superiority!

According to statistics, 1,727 people were killed or injured.

In addition, more than 3,000 people were injured to varying degrees, but they have received care from the interstellar medical ship and are not in serious condition.

As a result, the third Holy War, which involved more interstellar warships, actually resulted in fewer losses than the second war, the battle of a hundred ships.

However, this is only the JF-17 Dragon Legion.

In contrast, the Holy Angels Legion suffered heavy losses.

Although the statistics are only a rough estimate, they are already quite alarming.

The direct loss of nearly 800 interstellar warships included ten T4-class interstellar warships!

In addition, there were more than 700 interstellar warships that were damaged to varying degrees!

The death toll is estimated to be over 300,000.

In summary, the Holy Angel Legion suffered a casualty rate of over 30% in this battle!

The JF-17 fighter jets comprise only a mere 1% of the total.

However, in terms of combat attrition, the Dragon Legion is a hundred times more efficient than the Holy Angel Legion!

This section does not include the value of the starships lost by both sides.

In fact, this was also Zhao Chen's original idea. One of Zhao Chen's hidden purposes in this Holy War duel was to demonstrate the military strength of the Xiaolong Legion and deter those who coveted the Star Glory Empire from outside.

The Starry Empire is currently in the midst of a civil war, and this civil war is unlikely to end anytime soon.

It's inevitable that there will be those like the two great empires who want to get a share of the pie from the Starry Empire at this time.

However, the Dragon Legion defeated the Holy Angel Legion in the Holy War duel and achieved victory.

Such a record is enough to prove that although the Starry Empire is in the midst of a civil war, it still has the ability to deal with external troubles.

Even if it ends in a fight to the death, you can still take a piece of flesh from your opponent.

This is a form of military deterrence!

"Commander, it's time to proceed to the final stage of the Holy War duel," Lilith whispered in Zhao Chen's ear, her gaze fixed on the area connecting the two shuttles, on the layer of light screen.

Zhao Chen stood up and walked towards the light screen.

At this moment, Saint Cana on the other side also stood up and walked over.

Compared to just a few hours ago, the confident high-ranking members of the Holy Angel Legion behind Saint Cana now looked like defeated roosters.

"Lord Zhao Chen, we have lost this Holy War duel."

"As previously agreed, we will withdraw and will not militarily intervene in the Starshine Empire's interstellar territory within the agreed timeframe," Saint Cana said solemnly.

"It was just luck. If we had another chance, we wouldn't have won so easily," Zhao Chen said modestly.

However, this is also true. If Zhao Chen's little tricks were used again, and the Holy Angel Legion were prepared, they wouldn't have lost as badly as they did this time.

"If you lose, you lose."

There's not much to say; Lord Zhao Chen's interstellar warships are all very powerful.

"If I had the chance, I would love to board Lord Zhao Chen's interstellar warship and admire it properly," Saint Cana said frankly.

Although the Holy Angel Legion lost, which weighed heavily on Saint Cana's heart, she still genuinely admired and longed for the interstellar warships of the Wraith Dragon Legion.

Each one is an exceptional interstellar warship.

Being able to command such interstellar warships in battle is truly a very fortunate thing.

"After we clean up the battlefield, we will leave."

"I hope that Your Excellency Zhao Chen can prevail in the civil war of the Star Glory Empire." Saint Cana stared intently at Zhao Chen. "I also hope to have the opportunity to compete with Your Excellency Zhao Chen again in the future."

This woman is really quite belligerent.

However, this straightforward personality makes him a good friend to make.

"If given the opportunity, I would be very happy to invite Miss Saint Cana to board my interstellar warship for a look around."

"Of course, I would also very much like to visit your excellent interstellar warships," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Saint Cana smiled slightly and did not continue the conversation.

In reality, this is just a wishful thinking, because due to the positions of both sides, it is impossible to openly board the other's interstellar warship.

If Saint Cana really does that, I estimate that many members of the Imperial Senate will impeach her when she returns.

She had already gotten herself into a lot of trouble because of this holy war duel, so it would be better for her to stay out of trouble for now.

"We'll be heading back soon."

We are very grateful for the assistance of His Excellency Zhao Chen's interstellar medical ship, which helped us save many of the wounded.

On behalf of the wounded, I thank you. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"The Holy Light endures forever." Saint Cana expressed her gratitude once again.

But Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and revealed a meaningful expression: "Right, about treating the wounded."

Here is a medical bill. Miss Santana, could you please settle the payment?

After all, I am just a small lord. Those medical equipment and supplies have costs, unlike Miss Saint Cana's Holy Angel Legion, which is large and powerful, with the Holy Radiant Empire backing it up.

Which payment method are you referring to?

You wouldn't... buy on credit, would you?

Zhao Chen: (*￣︶￣)

Saint Cana: (°ー°〃)
