As time passed, the scattered foul spirits were gradually killed off. However, the cost of victory began to show. Some squads suffered casualties in battle, and Ang was deeply distressed by it. He could not ignore the warriors who had given their lives for the fight; his heart was filled with respect and guilt toward them.
Ang sought out Todd and asked about the rules of such trials, wanting to know whether the academy or the duke would provide compensation for fallen cadets. However, Todd could only shake his head helplessly. He explained that such trials were usually entered voluntarily by the cadets, and neither the academy nor the duke's estate would offer any formal compensation for the dead.
A heavy feeling settled in Ang's heart. He knew that these warriors had not only taken enormous risks in battle, but had also shed blood and even given their lives. To show his respect for the fallen, Ang decided to personally arrange for the belongings of the casualties to be collected. He ordered his men to gather every fallen warrior's possessions and, once the battle was over, send the bodies back to Latvia City at once for cremation, ensuring that their heroic souls could rest in peace.
Burke gave Ang tremendous support in logistics. He quickly organized transport teams to send the bodies of the fallen and supplies back to the city, while also ensuring that the front-line troops had ample provisions. Burke's efficiency and selfless help left Ang deeply grateful, and Ang thanked him repeatedly.
As the number of foul spirits plummeted, Ang knew that he and his warriors had inflicted severe losses upon them. The destruction of nearly a hundred foul spirits was a crushing blow to their kind, especially since they had yet to discover the attackers' identities
