Struggle in the Steam Age

"I have some different findings regarding the information about the No. 4 Fortress that is closest to us." After listening to the commander, Lawrence raised his hand and gestured, because he found that the commander marked the situation and himself. The situation detected before is quite different in one place.

"Please tell me." It may be because it is a soldier. The extraordinary leader of the New Continent Republic does not have much politeness. Instead, he motioned Lawrence to come forward and point out the problem on the map.

Lawrence was not polite either. He stepped over the crowd and pointed directly at the large houses marked as the dormitory of the Kobold leader. "These houses are not the dormitories of the little kobold bosses after the awakening of blood, but the location of an elite force. The fighting level of the kobolds stationed here should be higher than the little bosses who lead ordinary kobold patrols outside."

Because the room comes from various countries in the New World, the language is not uniform. So Lawrence is here to answer this question in Frans, the internationally popular diplomatic language. After all, the commander of the Xinzhou Republic just now has set an example for him.

"Do you have any evidence?" Lawrence's voice just fell, and a bearded dwarf standing below who looked about the same length, width and height with a pair of basketball-sized metal hammers on his back came out to question directly. "The other party has at least one Bronze-level caster, and our investigators and investigative magic can't penetrate it at all. How did you get this information?"

"This is the proof." Lawrence said that he summoned the phantom of the Fire Bee, "I can guarantee that my summoned object 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 get information from that fortification." In order to prove his claim, he also manipulated the phantom around him a few times.

"He was right." Lawrence summoned the phantom of the Fire Bee. A female druid with short black hair, a clothing woven of leaves and bark, and a deer head on her head stood out to guarantee Lawrence. "Even at such a close distance, I didn’t notice the difference between this summoned thing and those creatures in nature. So this kind of thing mixed into the enemy’s camp and investigation is basically impossible to be discovered by the enemy, and it can also be obtained that it is difficult for others to find. Intelligence."

"Okay—" The dwarf spread his hands after hearing the druid's words, "I admit that I still have less knowledge, but the special magic of this brother is really better than all our previous investigation methods."

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

"These should be the most elite kobold guards." After Lawrence described everything he saw in detail, several people who seemed to be commanders of the operation immediately walked to the map and analyzed. "No wonder we didn't find them before. It turns out that they are all hidden here and disguised as ordinary blood-awakened kobold leaders."

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

natural. There cannot be too many such elite troops. Often they will only appear in large kobold tribes with more than a thousand people. In the most suitable environment, they will average 10 to 15 per thousand people.

"It seems that they want to ambush us here, with the idea of ​​inflicting serious damage on us at one time." Another White Eagle Federation transcendent wearing a sky blue uniform with no rank mark said, "I 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. It is conceivable that a guy with this layout has more intelligence than ordinary humans, and may be a professional-level transcendent, and it is very likely a spellcaster.

As new information was added, several commanders began to change their previous combat plans. Fortunately, they have already made plans for different situations, so the new plan is formulated very quickly. Only ten minutes later, the adjusted plan was freshly released.

"The first step is to take down the fortification." The commander of the White Eagle Federation pointed to the map with a stick in his hand and said, "It's just that this time we will attack the fortress as our main force. The extraordinaires of the reinforcements are now adjusted to 1/3 of the past, and all those who have been adjusted are added to the main attacking team."

Following his explanation, Lawrence discovered that these commanders had divided the more than 300 people here into three parts, one of which blocked reinforcements on the periphery, while the other two were attacking the fortress.

Among those attacking the fortress, the first part is just a decoy. Their task is to provoke at the gate of the fortress and try to lure a part of the kobolds hidden in the fortress. If successful, they will take the group of kobolds around in a circle, trying to delay time until the end of the battle. If they fail, they will join the second group to attack the fortress.

The people in the second part are the main force of this attack. They have only one task, and that is to completely take down this fortress. Judging from the current investigation results, it will not be a complicated matter.

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

The combat effectiveness of ordinary kobolds is at best equal to that of farmers who use pitchforks, while kobolds after blood awakening are equivalent to professional soldiers in armor. However, even in the Cold Weapon era, 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 two hundred ordinary apprentice-level transcendents.

The reason why the extraordinary people gather to take this fortress now is purely because it is just a game for everyone, so they hope to get the most benefits with the least cost instead of risking their lives to kill~www .wuxiahere.com~ and the wealth of the kobolds in this fortress can attract everyone.

After setting up the task, the rest of the day was spent in simple cooperation training. In this pre-combat run-in training, all the original teams were completely disrupted. Everyone who was willing to participate in the attack was divided into teams according to their own occupations to learn to cooperate with each other.

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

Since everyone knows the richness of this fortress and the mine behind, as compensation, the people who participated in this interception team can get a part of the wealth obtained after taking down the fortress and the mine behind, which is equivalent to the average person directly participating in the attack. In addition to the wealth obtained, all the wealth they obtained in the mission does not need to be turned in, and can be used for internal distribution by the team.

But even if there were not many people who volunteered to join the perimeter blocking team, it took a lot of effort to make up 20 people. However, because of Lawrence's previous command success and personality charm, the remaining four members of his team and the entire Zhu Yan team are willing to give up the seemingly fatter fortress strategy and follow him to join this blocking team.

"Why do you guys--" Lawrence said with a touch of emotion as he watched Zhu Yan leading his team with a smile on his face.

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