Porter was not exaggerating. Ten Thousand Armies had indeed never experienced such a tragic defeat nor huge blow ever since its establishment.
More than one thousand and five hundred men had been killed in a single war. What kind of concept was this?!
There might not necessarily be so many people amongst the total number of people in many mercenary organizations, from the top to bottom, including those fighters and those who performed miscellaneous tasks.
The Blackwater Company had led several inadequately trained miscellaneous troops to follow the United States to go to war in the Middle East for so many years, but the number of their casualties had never exceeded more than a hundred people in a single war.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with the powerful firepower of the United States military.
This time, Ten Thousand Armies had lost so many people at one go, and this was indeed very shocking in the field of mercenaries.
Porter had been so confident when he boasted in front
of Cadfan just a moment ago. Therefore, Porter was naturally extremely furious deep inside when he was suddenly hit in the face by such a tragic defeat. 4
He really wanted to drag Zayne in front of him so that he could personally beat him half to death.
However, Zayne was in Syria at this time, and he was completely out of Porter's reach.
Porter could also imagine how Ten Thousand Armies would quickly become the biggest laughingstock in the entire mercenary field after today, and Porter could not even imagine how many people would be making fun of him behind his back.
Besides that, for Ten Thousand Armies, in addition to the loss of numbers and reputation over the death of more than one thousand and five hundred people, there was also a huge amount of pension that would need to be paid by them.
Aside from a small number of soldiers who had already retired, most of the people recruited by The Blackwater Company were street gangsters and thugs from the United States. They would only be able to work as a steward in the country. The Blackwater Company placed this kind of people on the battlefield after they had gone through some simple training, and both the training costs and their salary were not too high. So, relatively, their pension standard would also not be very high.
