Struggle in the Steam Age

"I have found something different about the information about the No. 4 Fort closest to us." Lawrence raised his hand after listening to the commander, because he found that the situation marked by the commander was different from his own. There is a big difference in the situation detected before.

"Please tell me." Probably because he was a soldier, the extraordinary leader of the Xinzhou Republic was not very polite, but motioned Lawrence to go forward and point out the problem on the map.

Lawrence was also polite, he walked over the crowd and pointed directly at the large houses marked on the map as the dormitories of the kobold leaders. "These houses are not the dormitory for the small kobold bosses after the awakening of the bloodline, but the location of an elite army. The fighting level of the kobolds stationed here should be higher than those of the small bosses who lead ordinary kobolds to patrol outside."

Because the people in the room come from various countries in the New World, the languages ​​are not uniform. So here Lawrence answered this question in Frans, an internationally popular diplomatic language. After all, the commander of the New Island Republic just now had set an example for him.

"Do you have any evidence?" As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, a bearded dwarf standing below, who looked about the same in length, width and height, came out and questioned directly with a pair of basketball-sized metal hammers on his back. "The opponent has at least one bronze-level spellcaster. Our investigators and investigative magic can't penetrate it at all. How did you get this information?"

"This is the evidence." Lawrence said, summoning the phantom of the fire poisonous bee, "I can guarantee that my summoned creature is basically impossible to be discovered as long as it does not touch the magical protection of those barriers. And just now I He manipulated it to go to that fortification to obtain information." In order to prove his statement, he also manipulated this phantom to circle himself around a few times.

"He's right." Lawrence summoned the Phantom Queen of the Fire Venomous Bee. A female druid with short black hair, wearing a costume woven from leaves and bark, and with a deer's head on her head stood out to vouch for Lawrence. "Even at such a short distance, I didn't find any difference between this summoned creature and those creatures in the natural world. Therefore, it is basically impossible for this kind of thing to sneak into the enemy's camp for investigation, and it is basically impossible for the enemy to find it, and it can also obtain some things that are difficult for others to find. information."

"Okay——" the dwarf spread his hands after hearing what the druid said, "I admit that I still have a little less knowledge, but this brother's special magic is indeed better than all our previous detection methods."

After this episode, Lawrence told everyone present what he had just seen through the cracks in the doors of the two houses, and at the same time brought his own guesses. Sure enough, the presence of those elite equipment made everyone a lot nervous.

"These should be the most elite Kobold guards." After Lawrence finished describing what he saw in detail, several people who seemed to be the commander of this operation immediately walked to the map and analyzed it. "It's no wonder we didn't find them before. It turns out that they are all hidden here disguised as ordinary bloodline awakened kobold leaders."

The kobold guards belong to the top elite troops of the kobold race, at least 1/3 of them can reach the extraordinary level of trainee level, and the other 2/3 of the kobolds are also awakened bloodlines and their combat level is no less than the former. able to be incorporated into this unit. At the same time, they also have an IQ that is far superior to that of ordinary humans and is close to that of adult humans.

nature. It is impossible to have too many such elite troops. They often only appear in large kobold tribes with more than a thousand people, and under the most suitable environment, there are only 10 to 15 per thousand people on average.

"It seems that they want to ambush us here, with the idea of ​​inflicting heavy damage on us at once." Another White Eagle Federation transcendent who also wore a sky blue military uniform without a military rank mark said, "Who can think of this step?" Kobolds are definitely a big threat to us."

After all, the power of kobolds is directly linked to their IQ. The guy who can think of this layout has an intelligence that exceeds that of ordinary humans. He may be a professional-level transcendent, and he is likely to be a spellcaster.

Because of the addition of new information, several commanders began to change the previous battle plan. Fortunately, they have already made plans for different situations, so new plans can be formulated very quickly. Only ten minutes later, the adjusted plan was freshly released.

"The first step is to take down that fortification." The commander of the White Eagle Federation pointed to the map with a wooden stick in his hand and said, "It's just that our main force will be used to attack the fort this time, and we were going to block it before." The superhumans in the reinforcements are now adjusted to 1/3 of the past, and all those who have been adjusted will join the main attacking team."

Following his explanation, Lawrence found that these commanders divided the more than 300 people here into three parts, one of which blocked the reinforcements on the periphery, while the other two went to attack the fortress.

Among the people who attacked the fortress, the first part was just bait. Their task was to provoke at the gate of the fortress and try to lure out some of the kobolds hiding in the fortress. If they succeed, they will lead the group of kobolds around the outside, trying to drag the time until the end of the battle. If they fail, they will join the second group and attack the fortress.

The second group of people is the main force of this attack. They have only one mission, which is to completely take down this fortress. Judging from the current investigation results, it will not be such a complicated matter.

Through investigation, the contestants can confirm that there are about 600 kobolds in the fortress. For the total number of 2,000 kobolds in this astral plane, it means that their main force is basically here.

The combat power of ordinary kobolds is at most equivalent to that of farmers using pitchforks, while kobolds after their bloodline awakening are equivalent to professional soldiers in armor. But even in the era of cold weapons, these 600 kobolds who can only rely on fortifications will only pose a threat to ordinary armed forces, and it is impossible to defeat more than 200 ordinary apprentice-level extraordinary people.

The reason why the supernatural beings gathered to capture this fortress now was purely because it was just a game for everyone, so they hoped to obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost instead of risking their lives. And the wealth of the kobolds in this fortress can attract everyone.

After assigning the task, the next whole day will be spent in simple coordination training. During this kind of running-in training before the battle, all the original team formations were completely disrupted, and everyone willing to participate in this attack was divided into groups according to their occupations to learn to cooperate with each other.

Lawrence was assigned to the team to block the reinforcements, because everyone believed that there were only 20 people blocking reinforcements from the outside, which was too small, so a higher-level spellcaster was needed as a force support point to ensure everyone's safety.

Since everyone knows the richness of this fortress and the mines behind it, as compensation, those who participated in this interception team can get a part of the wealth obtained after taking down the fortress and the mines behind it, which is equivalent to the average number of people who directly participated in the attack. Except for the wealth obtained, all the wealth they obtained during the mission does not need to be handed over, and it can all be used for internal distribution by this team.

However, there were still not many people who voluntarily participated in the peripheral blocking team, and it took a lot of effort to get together 20 people. However, due to Lawrence's previous command success and charisma, the remaining four members of his team and the entire Zhu Yan team were willing to give up the seemingly fatter fortress strategy direction and follow him to join this blocking team.

"Why do you bother—" Looking at Zhu Yan who was leading his team towards with a smile on his face, Lawrence said a little moved.

"You helped us when we needed it the most, that's why." After approaching, Zhu Yan patted Lawrence's shoulder and said. "Friends are more important than winning games."
