When the sun had finally risen, the battlefield was riddled with corpses. Out of the five hundred agents that Memento Mori had enlisted for the operation, only forty-three remained. These were the agents that surrendered after watching their teammates die right in front of them.
Ciel had told the leaders of the mercenary group that if any of the enemy forces surrendered, they were to be stripped of their weapons and brought back to their makeshift base.
Fortunately, there were no casualties on the side of the mercenary groups. This proved that they had prepared adequately for this operation. Of course, some suffered serious injuries, but, with the help of Claire's regeneration potion, these injuries healed in less than an hour.
The mercenaries were so impressed by the potions that they joined together to force Ciel to give them a dozen bottles each.
