Chapter 419
Everyone was stunned!
Is this even possible?!
Who would have thought?
As more intelligence reports came in, they learned about Haruto Saito's operation in greater detail, which left them in utter shock! His plan was as precarious as walking a tightrope—if even a small part of the initial setup had gone wrong, it would have been exposed, leading to complete failure.
But what shocked them the most was the method he used!
Flooding the Mist Village forces? Only he could have come up with such an idea!
Reports indicated that the Mist Village's First and Third Army Corps had been disbanded. The remaining combat forces were reorganized into a special operations unit, while over two thousand injured soldiers were being hastily evacuated back to the Land of Water.
The Mist Village had even deployed the Second Army Corps across the sea to provide emergency support the very next day.
The losses Mist suffered this time were catastrophic!
While they had only lost about a thousand troops to death, the number of injured was immense. In warfare, the pressure caused by a single death was far less than that caused by a severely wounded soldier.
A dead soldier couldn't fight and had no further value to the army, but severely wounded ones were a logistical nightmare—they required care, protection, treatment, and a massive expenditure of resources.
