Although the Victory Transfer ultimately succeeded, it came at the cost of far too many lives.
According to incomplete statistics, around sixty-four thousand soldiers had fallen outside the mountains during the blocking battles in the final few days before entering the mountains.
More than 1,100 various transportable war vehicles had been destroyed, 479 aircraft had been shot down, and the losses exceeded one billion Federal Sol!
The foreign mercenary corps had suffered especially badly. They had been almost completely wiped out, and before joining the war, they had signed highly compensated contracts with the Gefra Government.
If they died in the war, the Gefra Government had to pay at least 13,500 Fula in compensation to the accounts they had designated.
That alone amounted to more than five hundred million!
Then there were Gefra's own fallen soldiers. Their lives were not worth very much—just over 6,000 Fula could settle the matter.
Of course, that was still a huge figure. Once the numbers grew large enough, the cost of damaged weaponry—without even counting the ammunition consumed—made this strategic transfer unbearably heavy! When the news reached Gefra Main Island, the people there were the first to lose control of their anger! Too many people had died. The Department of the Army had also lost more than ten thousand, nearly twenty thousand, soldiers this time. If the foreign mercenary corps had not stayed at the most dangerous front line, the army's death toll would have risen sharply!

The Gefra people had no right to demand that they sacrifice themselves. They had assisted the Gefra people with the Victory Transfer and had also been the first to withdraw from the battlefield, so their casualties were the lowest.
