After explaining some things to Knight Joseph, Lawrence walked down the city wall and out of the camp and began to check the placement of the steam machine guns and clockwork-powered machine guns that had finally been transported from the Republic of New Zealand. As well as the traditional frontal layout of this world
Differently, Lawrence asked the soldiers to place machine guns in the fortifications on the sides of the position.
"How's the situation?" Just when Lawrence emerged from a bunker, he happened to see Nora flying over like himself, so he asked loudly.
"I just killed thirty or forty goblins." Nora flew close and adjusted her direction to float in front of Lawrence and said, "But there are still a steady stream of goblins infiltrating from behind the hills covered with trees, giving me a feeling
They want to use enough life to detect our situation."
"This is normal." Lawrence walked towards the underground fortification where Saphiel was and said to Nora: "The goblins are not us humans. It is a normal thing for them to exchange their lives for information.
.I think the other side has dropped more than 1,500 corpses in front of our position in the past two days, but they have also roughly figured out our situation."
"To be precise, it's what you want them to know." Nora said with a smile, "At least these days we have only used rifle fire to drive away or kill the group of goblins who came to the front of our position.
But it did not expose any of our heavy firepower except for the few guns on the ship."
"But goblins with spellcasters are not fools." Lawrence shook his head and said, "They will definitely not believe that we only have so little heavy firepower, so it will be more difficult to fight. Because we have to expose part of the firepower to win the trust of the other party.
They know we have so much firepower, but we can't expose all of it to scare them away."
"Indeed, this speed is difficult to control." Nora's little face showed a tangled look. "If we don't use heavy firepower, on the one hand, we may not be able to defend it, and on the other hand, it will make the other party suspicious and retreat. But if we use heavy firepower,
If the firepower is too strong, it will scare these goblins away. This speed is indeed quite difficult to control."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to a one-man hiding place dug on the edge of the trench. Then they saw Seifer carefully inspecting the hiding place and the road between the hiding place and the front trench.
.and ran on this road fully armed with weapons.
As an extraordinary person who is not good at military affairs and does not need to command, Saphiel volunteered to take on the position of commando captain. The task is to lead the elite troops to drive the goblins out when the goblins enter the trenches. And she is now passing through the field
Use exploration methods to plan reinforcement routes after an attack in various places.
"Lawrence, Nora, you are here." At this time, Saphire also saw Lawrence and the others walking over and greeted them, while brushing aside the strand of hair that fell in front of his eyes.
"Yeah, let's take a look at the specific situation. After all, according to the investigation, the enemy is likely to come tomorrow." As he said that, Lawrence showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry that you have to participate in this war right after you finish your work.
"In fact, you can go to the camp to rest, there is no need -"
"Don't say that." Saphire interrupted Lawrence with a smile. "This is a war that belongs to us. Everyone needs to contribute to this, and I am no exception. But since I am not as good as you
Being able to command the overall situation is not as good as Fatina's ability to command those rat men. Dr. List is even not as good as an ordinary person to build a temporary hospital. After thinking about it, the only job suitable for me is to be a stormtrooper captain."
"——Thank you." Lawrence didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only express his inner feelings with some empty thanks. At this time, Saphiel stepped up and kissed Lawrence on the cheek, and then
She whispered in his ear, "There is no need to say thank you between us."
Lawrence's cheeks suddenly turned as red as the sunset. After the two looked at each other for a while, in order to get rid of the current dilemma, Lawrence forcefully changed the subject and asked: "By the way, do you still need help?
Of?"
"Not for the time being. I have to say that your arrangements during this period are very reasonable. I think everyone's morale is very high." As Saphier, who has been staying with ordinary soldiers in the trenches these days, she said to the grassroots soldiers
He knows the specific situation quite well. "And as commandos, the Ratmen are elites in fighting will and ability, especially when equipped with the shotguns you got from the New World Republic."
"If that's the case, that's good." Lawrence smiled and nodded, and then said: "Today I will stay with you in the concealment department on guard. Because I don't know when the war will break out, I am closer to the front line.
Always a good thing.”
"Living in the Hidden Ministry? Who will command the army now?" After hearing what Lawrence said, the corners of Saphire's mouth raised slightly at first, but soon his face returned to calmness and asked a question. After all, according to the tradition of Lawrence
He is the supreme commander, and as the supreme commander staying in the frontline trenches always makes people feel that something is wrong.
"I have previously given the right to command the army to Knight Joseph. After all, he is the only professional soldier we have here, and he is more able to play a role in this situation. For this war, I feel that amateurs like me are still
It would be more appropriate to complete some tactical work on the front line and boost morale."
After finishing speaking, Lawrence shrugged. He was quite self-aware in this regard and knew that he was not good at commanding the army to fight the enemy after the battle broke out. After all, all his military knowledge was learned when he was a keyboard military expert.
, It’s okay to talk on paper, but forget it when it comes to practice.
For the rest of the day, Lawrence stayed in the frontline trenches to comfort the soldiers and boost their morale. To his surprise, no matter where he went, the guards and temporarily recruited militiamen would raise their weapons and shout.
There were cheers. There was absolutely no tension in the face of war that Lawrence feared.
After Lawrence inspected the situation and told Saifei about his doubts, Saifei, who had been staying with these grassroots soldiers on the front line these days, showed an understanding smile and then helped him analyze bit by bit.
The reason why everyone's morale is so high.
"It's normal for everyone's morale to be so high. After all, not many nobles were willing to stay on the front line of the war with the soldiers. Besides, although everyone can't understand the series of fortifications you designed and commanded to build,
It’s mysterious, but it gives people a very safe feeling——”
The summary of these contents is that although Lawrence himself does not have that awareness, for ordinary people, a high-ranking nobleman who is an earl is willing to stand on the forefront of the war with them, which can inspire everyone's morale more than any number of mobilization speeches.
In addition, the guardsmen felt extremely honored to be able to fight side by side with their lord, and the militiamen felt that it was very worthwhile to work for a lord like him because of Lawrence's attitude towards them these days. Therefore, everyone as a whole now
The morale can be said to be very high.
"And as far as I know, the guards of the Earl's Palace have experienced wars themselves, so they are naturally not afraid. And these militiamen have also seen too many goblins, so they will not collapse directly in the next battle. So I think we only need to maintain
If we are cautious now, we should be able to achieve a beautiful victory in this war."
"That would be great." Lawrence nodded with satisfaction. He had done everything he could do now. Next, he needed to see how the situation would turn out in the face of a real war.
