When Old Hou fell, Li Chen, who had remained hidden deep within the maze and watched the battle through the Mystic Light Illusory Image Array, let out a long breath and finally relaxed.
Old Hou's strength had far exceeded his expectations. Had Li Chen not possessed so many reserves and brought his entire fighting force to bear against him, he would probably have gone down.
"Heavenly Pivot, what are our losses?"
Looking at the devastated room, Li Chen asked.
Heavenly Pivot said, "Sixty-five Armored Warrior Puppets destroyed, forty-three damaged; one hundred and three Soldier Puppets destroyed, twenty-one damaged; eighty-two Wooden Soldier puppets destroyed, thirteen damaged; twelve Sword Guard puppets destroyed, eight damaged; Xiao Die severely injured, Xiao Ying lightly injured..."
"Four Magic Cube Rooms severely damaged, one damaged; two hundred and thirty-one assorted mechanisms and concealed weapons scrapped; thirty-seven Flying Discs destroyed, twelve damaged..."
After hearing Heavenly Pivot's report, Li Chen felt a headache coming on. "Those really are some devastating losses!"
The Puppet Legion he had painstakingly built up had been wiped out in a single day, with almost the entire force lost.
Fortunately, a Puppet Legion did not require the lengthy cultivation period that living beings did.
These puppets had all been manufactured to standard specifications. Most of their components could be assembled and repaired using parts from other puppets, quickly returning them to normal, so those classified as damaged could almost be disregarded.

Still, by combining several into one, they could be rebuilt.

The remaining pile of parts that could not be pieced together could only be sent into the production facility to
