128 Pre-war preparations (early delivery in the afternoon)
"I have some different discoveries about the information about the No. 4 Fortress closest to us." After listening to the commander, Lawrence raised his hand to signal, because he found that the situation marked by the commander was different from his own.
The situation detected before was quite different in one place.
"Please tell me." Perhaps because he was a soldier, the extraordinary leader of the New World Republic did not show much politeness, but motioned for Lawrence to step forward directly and point out the problem on the map.
Lawrence was not polite. He walked over the crowd and pointed directly at the large houses marked as the dormitories of the kobold leaders on the map. "These houses are not the dormitories of the kobold bosses after the bloodline awakening.
The location of an elite force. The combat level of the kobolds stationed here should be higher than those of the small bosses leading ordinary kobold patrols outside."
Because the people in the room come from various countries in the New World and their languages are not uniform. So Lawrence answered this question in Fransian, the now internationally popular diplomatic language. After all, the commander of the New World Republic just now has already spoken for
He set an example.
"Do you have any evidence?" As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, a bearded dwarf standing below who looked about the same length, width and height and carrying a pair of metal hammers the size of basketballs came out and questioned directly. "The other party.
There is at least one bronze-level spellcaster, and our investigators and detection magic cannot penetrate it at all. How did you get this information?"
"This is the evidence." Lawrence said, summoning the shadow of the Fire Venomous Bee. "I can guarantee that my summon is basically impossible to be discovered as long as it does not touch those magical barriers. And just now I
I just manipulated it to get information from that fortification." To prove his statement, he also manipulated the phantom to circle around him several times.
"He's right." After Lawrence summoned the phantom of the Fire Venomous Bee, a female Druid with short black hair, wearing a costume made of leaves and bark, and a deer head on her head stood out.
Lawrence assured, "Even at such a close distance, I didn't find any difference between this summoned object and those creatures in nature. Therefore, it is basically impossible for this kind of thing to be discovered by the enemy when it is sneaked into the enemy's camp for reconnaissance, and it can be obtained
Some information that is difficult for others to discover."
"Okay -" the dwarf spread his hands after listening to the Druid's words, "I admit that I still have little 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 brought his own guesses. As expected, the presence of those elite equipment made everyone a lot nervous.
.
"These should be the most elite kobold guards." After Lawrence described everything he saw in detail, several people who seemed to be the commanders of this operation immediately walked to the map and analyzed it.
"No wonder we didn't find them before. It turns out that they are all hiding here and pretending to be ordinary kobold leaders with awakened blood."
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 have awakened their bloodline and are no less than the former in terms of combat level.
They can be incorporated into this army. At the same time, they also have an IQ that is far beyond that of ordinary similar species and is close to that of adult humans.
Naturally, there cannot be too many such elite troops. They usually only appear in large kobold tribes with more than a thousand people. 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 extraordinary person wearing 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 strength of kobolds is directly linked to their IQ. One can imagine that the intelligence of a guy with this layout is already higher than that of ordinary humans. He may be a professional-level transcendent, and he is very likely to be a spell caster.
Because new information was added, several commanders began to change the previous combat plans. Fortunately, they had already made plans for different situations, so the new plans were formulated very quickly. After only ten minutes, the adjusted plans were
Freshly baked.
"The first step is to capture that fortification." The commander of the White Eagle Federation pointed at the map with the wooden stick in his hand and said, "It's just that this time our main force will be used to attack the fort, and we were prepared to intercept it before.
The number of extraordinary beings in the reinforcements is now adjusted to 1/3 of the previous number, and all those who have been adjusted down have joined the main attacking team."
As he explained, Lawrence discovered that these commanders divided the more than 300 people here into three parts, one part of which blocked the reinforcements on the outside, while the other two parts went to attack the fortress.
The first part of those who attacked the fortress were just bait. Their mission was to provoke at the entrance of the fortress and try to lure out some of the kobolds hiding in the fortress. If they succeeded, they would lead the group of kobolds in a circle outside to buy time.
Wait until the end of the battle. If they fail, they will join the second group of people to storm the fortress.
The people in the second group are the main force of this attack. They have only one mission, which is to completely capture this fortress. And 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 in this astral plane, it is equivalent to that their main force is basically here.
The combat effectiveness of ordinary kobolds is at most equivalent to that of farmers using pitchforks, while the kobolds who have awakened their bloodline are equivalent to professional soldiers wearing armor. However, even in the cold weapon age, these 600-odd kobolds who only have fortifications to rely on are
It would only pose a threat to ordinary armed forces, and it would be impossible to defeat more than two hundred ordinary apprentice-level extraordinary beings.
Now the reason why the extraordinary people gathered together to capture this fortress is purely because for everyone, this is just a game, so they hope to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost instead of risking their lives. And
The wealth of the kobolds in this fortress can attract everyone.
After the mission was assigned, the entire day was spent in simple coordination training. In this kind of running-in training before the battle, all the original team formations were completely disrupted, and everyone was willing to participate in this attack.
People are divided into groups according to their occupations and learn to cooperate with each other to fight.
Lawrence was assigned to the peripheral interception team, because everyone believed that there were only 20 people blocking reinforcements from the perimeter, which was too small. Therefore, 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 mine behind it, as compensation, the people who join 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 number of people who directly participated in the attack.
Except for the wealth they obtained, all the wealth they obtained during the mission does not need to be turned over, and can all be used for internal distribution by this team.
However, even so, there were still not many people who volunteered to join the peripheral blocking team. In the end, it took a lot of effort to barely get together 20 people. However, due to Lawrence's previous command success and personality charm, the remaining four people in his team and the entire
Zhu Yan's team was willing to give up the seemingly fatter fortress strategy direction and follow him to join this blocking team.
"Why are you doing this?" Lawrence said with some emotion as he looked at Zhu Yan, who was 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 much more important than winning the game."
