Struggle in the Steam Age

"Good afternoon, Major Louis." After watching the middle-aged blonde major salute him, Lawrence raised his hand in return, and then led officers of all levels to a small tent next to the medical tent. Walked over.

When he and Major Louis entered the tent, the second lieutenant and two orderly soldiers stood by the door consciously.

"It seems that you are looking for me to talk about some very important issues." Looking at the actions of the soldiers, Lawrence instantly understood the level of intelligence the major wanted to discuss with him, so he motioned to Nora to stay. At the door, then the Major Louis sat down face to face and asked him.

"Excuse me, what news does the commander want to notify me?"

"A very bad news, it is not suitable for others to know for the time being." The Major Louis said to Lawrence with a serious face, "mainly from the reconnaissance troops sent at noon today."

"From noon to the present time, we have successively sent seven reconnaissance troops to the surrounding areas. But by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we found that the first reconnaissance troops sent earlier did not return as scheduled. ."

"At the beginning, we didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, when the reconnaissance troops were on the front line, they were often unable to act on time and as planned due to various circumstances. But the problem was that in the next two hours, the two that should have returned in turn went to the other The area investigation team also failed to return."

"This is not normal." After hearing this, Lawrence frowned and said.

"The reconnaissance squads are basically all elites, and there are often some extraordinary people who have been professionally trained. How can it be possible that all three reconnaissance teams are missing? By the way, I remember that the reconnaissance team should have some information for transmitting information. Special magic items—"

"Yes, they do have some magic items for communication in emergency situations. But the problem is that none of the magic items carried by the three squads responded." Major Louis said with a helpless expression.

"The reconnaissance units sent afterwards returned to the command and reported that today the defense line of the wilderness race has been further strengthened, and at the same time the defense line is pushed forward, which makes it impossible for them to break through the defense line of the wilderness race as before."

"It seems that the situation is indeed a bit bad now." Lawrence's face suddenly became ugly, and now it feels like a storm is coming.

But soon, he thought of a very important question. "By the way, if that's the case, is there anything you come to see me now?"

"Well, I would like to ask your doll to go out and scout." After being asked by Lawrence, Major Louis paused for a while and then said. "Because this situation is present on the entire front, we cannot apply for any support from the headquarters. We can only figure out a solution now."

Obviously, the wilderness races should be preparing to make a big news, and the civilized race coalition has too many points to defend on the front.

Therefore, in this critical period of time, it is natural to devote one's elite forces to such important nodes as the offensive front line, while places like Pine Valley have naturally been ignored.

"I think it should be okay," Lawrence said. "Now Nora should be willing to run for everyone's safety."

Lawrence said this because even though Nora was outside the tent, a thin layer of cloth and a distance of four or five meters was no different for Nora than being around.

So even if Lawrence and Louis lowered their voices just now, Nora still heard the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and through the soul connection, showed Lawrence that she was willing to attack.

"If the surrounding situation is not right, I think it should be a good thing for me to take a look. At least I can get enough information the first time.

When Major Louis expressed his gratitude to Lawrence, Nora's voice appeared in Lawrence's mind through the soul connection. "After all, only I can figure out the surrounding situation in this situation."

Soon, Nora took off directly and flew towards the outside of Pine Valley. According to the plan, Nora will start with the valley area of ​​Pine Tree Valley as the center and start to fly outwards clockwise to find out the specific situation of the current wilderness race front, and then focus on investigating the positions where the detection teams left before.

After Nora turned into a small black spot in the air, Lawrence immediately summoned the book charm, and then asked it to draw out the investigation results obtained by connecting with the soul of the little doll.

Soon, sheets of white paper were put into his body by Shumei's outstretched tentacles, and pictures were printed out.

"Someone in the Seventh Heights to the west actually built an altar there."

"Yes, there are also some Jackal forwards in the No. 2 Valley where no one was before. These people are actually equipped with some old-fashioned front-loading guns."

Soon, the ensign outside called several officers, and then analyzed these patterns with Major Louis, and analyzed some new information from these patterns.

"Wait, I seem to see some strange traces." After investigating the situation around Pine Valley, Nora began to slowly expand the scope of investigation.

After searching the direction of the first two teams and returning empty-handed, she found some unusual signs in the direction where a reconnaissance team was missing at the latest, "It seems that the wilderness races there are some unusual gatherings."

"Then you have to be careful," Lawrence said. He knew that Nora would definitely not let this doubt go in this case, so he could only tell her. "If you find something wrong over there, tell me quickly, and I will immediately let those artillery support you to open a passage for you."

The reason why the army of wilderness races headed by a few hobgoblins dared to gather at this time is also very simple, because this place and the Pine Valley are separated by several hills with a height of only 30-50m, so it is civilized under normal circumstances. The artillery of the race is basically impossible to hit them.

The reason for this identification is also very simple. It is because the invention of the mortar with extremely strong curved firing ability is less than a year now, and it is not very popular. In addition, the various races consciously hide a lot of each other. Things, so this group of wilderness races naturally did not know the existence of mortars. .

Lawrence now has four heavy mortars in his hand, and they are ready to fire at any time.

Although these mortars had a shorter range than the modern mortars in Lawrence's impression, they were enough to cover this group of wild races targeted by Nora.

Knowing that she has enough firepower behind ~www.ltnovel.com~Nara feels that she has a stronger confidence in the success of her actions.

So after making sure that the artillery had been aimed in this direction, she let some silver-green silk thread wrap her body, and then used magic to hide her figure and quietly touched the place where the group of wild races were.

When Nora approached the opponent's location, apart from the howling of the wild races, she heard scattered gunshots.

These sounds immediately refreshed Nora, because the sound of gunshots meant that fighting was still breaking out in the place, instead of just finding traces of crossfire in the two previous directions.

"There are still people alive in this investigative team." After getting closer, Nora discovered that this group of wild races fanned out at the entrance of a cave, and at the entrance of the cave there were two or three wolves lying motionless. From the pool of blood under these jackals, it can be seen that this should have been killed by the people in the cave during the attack.

And in the distance, a male dark elf as the commander is gesticulating and directing some goblins from a distance to pick up various branches and weeds and pile them near the entrance of the cave. It seems that the next step is to smoke the cave. The resisters came out.
