The team of seven people did not exceed the boundaries of bronze. After all, the strongest Hatches and the scout Gino, who had just touched the edge of bronze, were equivalent to level 6 professionals in the main world.
However, because the seven people's abilities complement each other and cooperate with each other, they do not only calculate their combat power, but also belong to silver cards in the system judgment. Obviously, John's previous guess is not wrong. This expedition team definitely has considerable potential.
Colonel Henry does not have extraordinary abilities, so he is just a bronze card. However, it is not ordinary for a mortal to become a bronze level. Eighty-most of the system calculates Henry's command talent and military literacy.
With a thought, the two cards turned into light spots and disappeared in their hands. Eight new people appeared in front of John.
"Owner!"
As soon as the eight people appeared, they couldn't help but feel the kindness and awe that arises from the bottom of their hearts, and they all knelt on one knee to pay homage to the Knights.
John waved his hand and used his mind to lift the eight people up and ordered:
"Don't need so much politeness. You should maintain your original attitude in front of outsiders and not be too respectful to arouse others' suspicion."
John released eight of them to facilitate the aftermath.
Especially Henry, the highest commander of the crusade army, has him as an insider and can handle everything better.
"Henry, now you are responsible for gathering the troops and treating the wounded. Hatches, you seven are responsible for protecting him."
The eight people responded to the order.
“Yes, Master!”
John waved his hand: "Just call me Mr. John."
"Yes, Mr. John!"
Then Colonel Henry bowed and asked:
"Sir, should we find out the gold mine situation and collect gold from this evil tribe? Otherwise, London will not be able to deal with it, and the surviving soldiers will also have resentment!"
John nodded, he actually thought of all these things, but Henry's approach of taking the initiative to consider him was very satisfied.
"You can do these things and just report them briefly to me in the evening."
After saying that, his figure disappeared and he continued to treat the wounded.
Those minions don't care, but if Henry can bring back more British and South African federal soldiers, the losses will be smaller, the credit will be greater, and the possibility of being held accountable by the military and the London government will be reduced.
So he, the master, has to worry about his followers.
After working hard for most of the day, until nightfall, Henry gathered most of the surviving soldiers of the crusades. Among them, the British troops lost only about thirty people because of their stronger discipline. One third of them were
The poisonous insects and swamps that fell in the forest while running away.
Because of the relatively loose discipline of the 500 people in the Southern Federation, despite retreating early, they lost nearly 150 people. This was because John secretly took action to treat and led the lost soldiers to the rendezvous of the army.
, otherwise I would probably lose more.
As for the vassal army, the local indigenous vassal army can basically abolish the establishment, because the indigenous people who were difficult to control would run away as soon as they entered the forest. John also felt it was troublesome and did not specifically collect these indigenous vassal army, but just searched for them.
To go back, after all, the situation where the indigenous minion army's war losses are not counted in various colonial countries is already well known.
However, the Indian vassals lived under the caste system since childhood and had a good obedience. Many of the San soldiers were huddled together to keep warm after escaping for a certain distance, so more than half of them survived.
Henry was already extremely satisfied with this result. First of all, the British soldiers directly under his command did not lose much, just over 30 people. Compared with the value of the gold mine they discovered, this casualty pension is a drop in the bucket for the London government.
As long as the South African Federal Army distributes certain benefits to local officials and then provides good pensions, there will basically be no problem, and the losses here will not be counted on him. Although the South African Federation still belongs to
A member of the Commonwealth, but since it has become independent from the colony, there is naturally an independent system within it, at least on the surface.
You may not have the ability to be an official in the British Empire, but you must be very good at connecting with each other and deceive your superiors and subordinates, otherwise you will easily be regarded as a scapegoat and become a victim. Henry is confident that he can settle things completely because of this
A single contribution is far greater than a mistake.
That night, Henry reported to John about the situation on the day in the temporary camp where the original native tribe was located.
“Is it actually of this scale?”
When Henry told John about the results of the preliminary survey of the explorers brought to the team, he did not expect that there would be a large-scale gold vein in this primeval forest.
Judging from the speculation of surface detection, even if the gold here is not as good as South Africa's well-known gold mines such as Johannesburg, it can be regarded as a large mine vein with a reserve far exceeding that of all parts of Europe.
Just collecting ready-made gold from the ruins of the indigenous tribes weighs more than one ton. Although the texture is not too pure, it is like a shot of stimulant for the entire crusade army.
Good news.
John had never heard of the existence of this gold mine in his previous life, but the world was different, and it was impossible to completely follow the memories of his previous life.
No matter how much gold is, it is not as important as the extraordinary material. Moreover, this is still in the astral plane. If the main world discovers gold mines of this size, it will be for him and for Emsdan.
It's a lot of help. In this world, let's forget it.
Even if you can exchange a large amount of gold when you return to the main world, it is a waste of buying a box and returning a bead, and it is better to exchange for more extraordinary resources.
So John didn't care about the gold. His current mind was no longer on southern Africa, but drifted to the eastern land on the east coast of the Indian Ocean opposite the ocean.
Colonel Henry's ability was still very outstanding. In just two days, he handled the follow-up matters of the cannibal tribe, and then he devoted himself to serving John's affairs.
John's plan was to complete the affairs of the cannibal tribe, so he went to India and then went to Nepal through India to explore the holy land of the wizard that Master Jingyi said and the legendary saint of the most saint.
As for the subsequent development of the high priest in South Africa and the city of the Dead, it is no longer within John's consideration.
I think there is a Heavenly Father-class existence like the Most Holy Master who is powerful in the world. The former High Priest Anubis probably won't be able to make any big fuss even if he is resurrected.
Colonel Henry was very considerate and arranged for John to fly directly to India from Cape Town through the relations between the South African Federation, while he chose to stay in the future large gold mine of the cannibal tribe.
John just took away seven people from the Hutchs Expedition Team, but did not force Henry to take away. After all, Henry still has military positions and tasks. After returning, he can directly exchange them through the consciousness of the main world.
All followers are brought back to the main world.
So John soon came from Cape Town, the largest port in southern Africa, and successfully arrived in Kolkata, one of the largest colonial cities of India by the British Empire.
