Chapter 626: Chapter 627

Chapter 627 Take Responsibility “Yes,” There was a hint of pain on his face as he said. “There are heavy casualties!”

Gerald’s heart sank slightly. He had thought of it. The battle lasted for two days. It had been too long. Moreover, in the beginning, the number of Watchmen who had died was quite large.

Charles continued, “Of the people I brought back, more than 3,000 died in battle, nearly 1,000 were crippled, and only less than 1,000 were still unscathed.”

The people were the top troops he brought back from Sin City. There was a total of 5,000 people. Before Gerald dealt with the Gold Elite Ghost, they had to face the Red Elite Ghost and suffered heavy casualties.

More than 3,000 died, and more than 1,000 were crippled!

Those who survived would not be able to use Vital Energy anymore or become crippled.

As Charles spoke, a hint of pain appeared on his face. “American Watchmen had suffered heavy losses. More than half of the top 100 Watchmen had died in battle. Now, the statistics showed that 820 thousand Watchmen had joined the war. This was almost the sum of the entire world’s Watchmen. In the future, the number of people who could continue to work for Night Watch will probably be around 300 thousand. The statistics show that over 300 thousand Watchmen have already died. There are still many survivors who had to retire early.”

Hearing this number, Gerald fell silent. Looking at the food in front of him, he could not eat anymore.

“This is an all-out war. Right now, you’re the hope of everyone, so work hard and make good progress. If next time Purple Elite Ghosts at the level of Flame Decay come here, without Blaine, our hope... will only be you.” As Charles spoke, he wiped his tears, stood up, and left the tent.

Gerald sat down on the ground, a trace of struggle and pain on his face!

This kind of narrow victory made him feel a little despair in his heart. The death of hundreds of thousands of people would reduce the number of Watchmen in the world by half!

“He’s awake!”

Just as he was silent, his tent was opened again. Valery, Carolyn, and Belinda walked over.

Belinda’s hand was wrapped with gauze, and her pretty face looked a little haggard.

“Are you alright?” Gerald came back to his senses and looked at Belinda.

Belinda smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine. The bones in my right arm are injured. I will recover after a while. Dr. Manning’s medical skills are quite outstanding.”

Valery walked in and sat around a table. Then, she placed all the dishes that Charles brought on the table.

“Has Kristen woken up?” Gerald asked.

Carolyn shook her head. “She is still in a coma. Dr. Manning gave her a second operation and all the signs stabilized. It should only be a matter of time before she wakes up. This time, Team 11762 all survived. But Watchmen...”

“I just heard Charles say it,” Gerald slowly exhaled and said, “This is war. In the future, we have to hurry up and improve. Only when we become stronger will the losses be less.”

Carolyn sighed!

Valery placed the food on it and handed the fork to Gerald. “I know that you are in a very bad mood now, but... you still have to eat the food. Now that you have obtained Sparkle, you are the leader of American Night Watch. Now you have to be responsible for the entire American Watchmen.”

Gerald was silent. Then he raised his head and looked at Valery.

Valery shook his head silently.

She was implying that Gerald should not say anything more.

Gerald could not tell anyone about Blaine’s story, because it would mean too much.

The first Purple Elite Ghost that descended into this world had a close relationship with Blaine. If this news was exposed, it would cause a great shock.

If he kept it a secret and considered Blaine dead, no one would figure out their relationship. No one knew where the Purple Elite Ghost went. Some people asked, but no one knew it. Right now, it did not launch an attack on people, so everyone would let their guard down as time passed.

It was enough for Blaine to stay in American Night Watch for so many years.

Gerald picked up his fork, but at this moment, the delicious food Charles made seemed tasteless to him.

But he still ate it all.

“Let’s go find Zackary!” Valery said. “He told us to bring you to see him when you wake up.”

Gerald nodded. He looked around, dressed in loose clothes, and approached Zackary.

Zackary was instructing a person to do something inside. When he saw Gerald come in, he waved to the person. He looked at Gerald and asked, “Are you OK?”

“Yes, I’m fine!” Gerald nodded and said, “How is it now?”

“The losses are great, and the rewards are also great. The Elite Ghost’s spaceship has a lot of items. We have gained a lot of materials and energy stones.” Then he let out a breath and added, “Look over there!”

Gerald looked in that direction. In the corner, there was a blue long sword lying flat. The sword was like a nebula. It was very beautiful.

“Is this Purple Elite Ghost’s?” Gerald asked.

“Yes, after their discussion, they decided to give you this sword,” Zackary said.

Gerald was silent and calm.

“You are now the leader of American Night Watch,” Zackary said. “Therefore, there are some things that you have to attend.

Leave the rest to me. You guys will now take a car and attend a press conference. Then, you will announce two things. One is that everything can return to normal. The other is the full-scale recruitment of Watchmen!”

Gerald frowned and said, “A press conference?”

“Yes, I planned to go there myself, but the things here are too complicated. You won’t be able to figure it out even if I leave it to you now. You should go to the press conference. As for what the reporters ask you, you can just say anything you want. You don’t have to care too much. After the press conference is over, gather at American Night Watch’s headquarters. Three days later, it will be the world Night Watch conference!” Zackary sighed.

Gerald frowned. “Huh?”

“The war is over. The resources have to be redistributed,” Zackary sighed and said, “Let’s talk about the details later!”

“Alright, I’ll attend the press conference.” Gerald nodded.

Zackary nodded and said, “Right, be careful about one thing.”

“What?” Gerald stopped and looked at him.

“I can’t contact the people from Sin City. The Dark Net of Washington has found out that Dr. T left with his people on the plane.

There may be some connection between them, but I’ve been too busy recently. I just didn’t take it to heart. You can think about it in the car later,” Zackary said.

Gerald frowned, let out a breath, and said, “I understand. I will go to the press conference first!”
