Struggle in the Steam Age

The personnel problem was quickly resolved. After Lawrence and the others returned to the room, they immediately telegraphed the small fleet from Shaw Island in Huguang City.

And soon they received a response: under the premise of not being noticed by others in a short period of time, 220 armed men will arrive at the pier in the Jianwan Industrial Zone on time at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

"Okay, we have enough manpower now." After receiving the telegram from Huguang City, Lawrence relaxed all of a sudden, and then said to Safir.

"Let's take a good rest in the next time, I think we may be very busy tomorrow. Also, I'm sorry that I encountered such a situation when I took you out to play this time."

"It's okay, I can understand. After all, business is important." Safir said to Lawrence with a smile in a very good temper. "And from another perspective, this kind of adventure is an interesting thing for me.

After all, in my opinion, the vacation I most hope to have is to face this kind of adventure, not to visit some scenic spots or hold a few parties like those so-called ladies or ladies. "

"I knew you hadn't changed." After hearing what Safir said, Lawrence smiled and reached out to touch Safir's head.

Sure enough, after experiencing so much time, her heart is still the same as that cowboy girl on the ranch, and she still loves life and adventure as before.

"I've grown up, Brother Lawrence." Feeling the familiar action of Lawrence, Safir looked up at Lawrence helplessly and said.

Although she seemed to dislike Lawrence's slightly childish action, her body was honest and she didn't shake Lawrence's hand away.

Soon, it was time for the next morning. Lawrence and the others woke up at dawn, and after an early breakfast, they took the earliest train in the morning to the industrial area to meet up with the armed men under their command. When they got off the train, they saw that Bach was already waiting on the platform with his dozen or so reliable security personnel.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you." After getting out of the car, Lawrence first exchanged a few words with Bach, then walked to the side and asked.

"Is this the reliable manpower you mentioned before? What is their general situation? I am worried that this battle may be fierce, and if they are not strong enough, they will be prone to danger."

"Of course, we have considered such things before." Bach said as he walked out of the platform with Lawrence and the others.

The plainclothes security personnel he brought along moved out of the platform together among the crowd, vaguely forming a defensive circle around Lawrence and the others.

"Because the real battles in business here are mainly defensive, so these core security personnel also accept the defense work against important people or certain important items."

"It seems that they are quite professional." Lawrence said after carefully observing the surrounding circle. At least this group of armed men can protect the people who need protection without triggering the reaction of others, and at the same time make a move. A state of being ready to fight at any time.

Obviously, because this security team was temporarily trained by Bach and the others after they came here, the various movements still seemed a little rusty.

But Lawrence could also see that compared to ordinary gunmen or cowboys, this group of security personnel had a higher degree of organization and more proficient tactical skills.

With the same equipment and extraordinary level, these professionally trained armed personnel can defeat more than twice the number of enemies.

When they came to an intersection, they happened to meet naval soldiers who had already come out of the dock area, dressed as a group of workers.

These navy soldiers set off from Huguang City in the early morning, and spent a whole night on a transport ship from the lake area across the lake to come here overnight.

In order to avoid being seen by others, Ou Ren specially mobilized this transport ship to transport these soldiers and their weapons in the name of the goods delivered.

"Okay, everyone is armed first." After walking a few kilometers along the road, the armed men commanded by Lawrence hid in the woods. Then have them all armed.

"You are on standby here now. I will go and see if our allies have arrived. If they arrive, I will bring them here to meet up."

"By the way, there are more." After riding the horse, Lawrence said to these people under his command as if thinking of something.

"You have to keep as concealed as possible here, and don't be spotted by people on the road. Besides, if you see any nobles in gorgeous clothes passing by on the road, write down their images and tell me when I come back."

"Understood." Bach and several officers who came together saluted Lawrence at the same time, and then watched Lawrence and Safiel ride westward on horseback.

"Time is money. You are ten minutes late, my friend." After entering the toll booth agreed yesterday, Priest Hannah quickly stood up from a seat at the toll booth.

"We were worried just now that you might not be able to come today because of something."

"Don't worry, we won't let our companions fight alone." Lawrence greeted the team while explaining why he came late.

"No way, I need to transfer a lot of people. So I spent a little more time arranging those people."

"That's good. We were worried that too few people would be able to complete our search plan." After hearing Lawrence's words, the tauren hammer said directly.

"Because the search area planned by our Captain Hannah is too large, it is impossible to search all of them just by the people we called."

"I'm sorry, but the number of people I can summon this time is really too small." After being directly told by the hammer, Hannah also simply talked about the difficulties encountered by their team.

"I tried to report to the church, but unfortunately, because I couldn't produce any definite evidence, there was no way to call for reinforcements through the church."

"Then consider that those who can make this situation around have a high probability of sending people into the city to find out the news, and even win over some scum among explorers. So when we are looking for reinforcements, we can only find some absolutely reliable reinforcements. "

And the composition of the reinforcements they found also proved this point. One of the five-member squads was called by the middle-aged soldier named Karen, and the captain was his fellow villager and childhood playmate.

Another team of three tauren is the fellow of the Tauren Hammer, and there is a seven-member Fortune Church team whose captain is Hannah's boyfriend.

These people have a common feature, that is, they came directly after receiving their invitation, and they didn't even ask about the details of the mission during the process.

In other words, in terms of reliability, these people are absolutely trustworthy. At the same time, there is no need to worry about them leaking the information here.

"Thank you for coming to help now." After entering the room in the rest area, Lawrence nodded slightly to the members of the adventure team who came to help for this matter, and then said. "Now, allow me to introduce those circumstances—"

It took five or six minutes for Lawrence to roughly explain the current situation. Finally said: "—so this battle is likely to result in nothing for everyone, if anyone wants to quit—"

"Since we're here, we've actually made preparations for this before." Before Lawrence finished speaking, the most prestigious female holy knight of wealth among the reinforcements said.

"And I think we know that if the previous guesses fail, we're going to waste a little time. But if we do succeed, then we will be the heroes of this city."
