When Lawrence and the others completed the construction of the two forts, if you look down from the air, you can see that the three forts and the trenches connecting the three forts are like chains, firmly nailed to the side of the peninsula on the outside of the harbor.
.
According to the design, these three fortresses are the core firepower points of the entire peninsula's defense, and the trenches connecting these three fortresses serve the dual functions of communication and defense.
In addition to these series of defense systems built on the mountainside of a small mountain range on the peninsula, Fatina and the Horned Rat Priests used some explosives and extraordinary power to build in this small mountain range in just a few days.
There are many potholes and short-distance communication tunnels. According to them, as long as the fighting is not fierce, they will take the time to continue building these fortifications and strive to build a three-dimensional defense fortification.
After all these fortifications are repaired, they will be able to block a large number of sahuagin and possible vassal forces who try to flank the port area from the offshore seabed, and at least help reduce the pressure on the port area by about 1/3.
If the opponent does not cross the peninsula from here, then these murlocs will either have to go deep into the island and cross a large hilly area at an extremely low speed, or they will have to bypass here and join the main force.
But if the force attacking from the flanks merges with the main force, it will be equivalent to leaving a nail on the flank to threaten the main attacking army. More importantly, it will greatly shorten the contact area between the two sides.
For the murlocs who have advantages in numbers and location, the shorter the contact area, the more disadvantageous it is for them. Therefore, in the battle, they can only choose to attack Lawrence and his organization's defense line head-on, and there is basically no way to bypass the position.
"It seems that we can complete all the fortifications before the enemy attacks." Standing on the temporary observation deck at the highest point of the peninsula, Saifei said to Lawrence while looking at the peninsula. Then she turned to look at Lawrence and asked.
"By the way, I seem to have heard someone say that there was a fierce battle between the Inquisition and the island whale, but I found that the information on the island was very messy, and there was no detailed information except that it was confirmed that the two sides had started a battle."
"That's because the battle situation is not very good, and the island concealed the news in order to avoid damaging everyone's morale at this critical moment." Lawrence nodded and said.
"According to the content of the telegram, the island whale had a space for living creatures in its body and was not discovered by everyone. As a result, during the attack, it was caught off guard by a large number of undead creatures sprayed from the mouth of the island whale. Many of them were
Extraordinaries died on the battlefield because of this incident, and a number of ships were completely destroyed."
"Oh, this sounds too bad." Saphiel raised his hands to cover his face and exclaimed, "This war will not be lost, right? If I remember correctly, the source of infection of the undead power
It’s very scary. If it can’t be stopped in time, it is likely to form an extremely terrifying undead natural disaster——”
"Well, actually the situation is not that bad for the time being." Seeing the anxious look on Saifei's face, Lawrence shook his hand and said, "Because the personnel of this team are too complicated, the referee will
There is no way to completely command one's own personnel. Therefore, the main force led by the Inquisition did not suffer much damage during the attack by the semi-undead island whale. The main loss was a force that was wandering and acting alone on the periphery."
"Furthermore, the island whale that was the source of undead infection was not without any damage during this confrontation. The main force of the tribunal successfully injured the opponent. According to the latest intelligence we received, the island whale was injured because of its speed.
It has been greatly slowed down, and the power that could interfere with prophecy magic before has also disappeared. So now it is being hunted down by a team organized by the Inquisition."
"If that's the case, it's indeed good news." Saifei nodded first, and then suddenly thought of something and asked. "Then is it possible for them to kill the island whale immediately and dedicate some of their people to support this side? I
As the guardian of the civilized world, the Inquisition should not be entangled in the issue of Republic or Empire."
"Yes, as far as the tribunal is concerned, they really don't pay attention to these matters that belong to civilized forces. If they have the energy, they will definitely come to our aid." Lawrence shrugged helplessly at this point. "But this time they
It is indeed impossible to escape for the time being, because they are still chasing the island whale. According to some experienced judges in the tribunal, this pursuit process may take more than a week."
"A week, why is it so long?" Saifeir asked with some confusion. "Didn't you just say that you injured the half-undead island whale in the previous attack? So why is the other party injured now?
It still takes that long to defeat the opponent. In my impression, battles with extraordinary strength usually end in a short time."
"Your impression comes from creatures of ordinary size, but for some special cases, this traditional experience does not apply." Lawrence waved his hand gently and said, "At least creatures like the half-undead island whale.
It will be more difficult to kill the opponent, because in addition to the opponent's own strong vitality that has been strengthened and difficult to deal with after being eroded by the power of the undead, the power of disease and death in the body must also be properly dealt with."
"Otherwise, even if everyone eliminates this island whale, it will not be considered a victory in the battle. After all, with the current pollution capabilities, if the power of disease and death in the body breaks out, it is very likely to create a land full of death and disease.
The sea area is so large that it may take a long time to properly solve this problem."
"So we basically have to rely on ourselves for the rest of the battle." After hearing what Lawrence said, Sephiel walked to the side of the observation tower, holding the handrails with both hands and looking at the one under his feet, which occupied more than half of the peninsula.
The small mountain range said, "I hope the preparations we have made are effective enough - by the way, how are the preparations for those heavy weapons?"
"Our preparations are very good." Lawrence walked to her side and stretched out his left arm to gently hug her shoulders. Then he pointed to the fortress on the side of the mountain facing the sea and said, "Twelve Hedgehog bomb launchers
Eight of the equipment have been placed on the frontal position before, and then we left four here, and they have been placed now."
"I remember that you seemed to have recommended the Hedgehog Launcher to that group of White Eagle Federation reinforcements, but now it seems that they don't want it?" After hearing what Lawrence said, Saifei was a little puzzled. "I saw you before.
The results of that experiment were very good, at least in the shallow sea area it was very effective against large groups of flesh and blood creatures."
They had tested the first hedgehog grenade launcher on Sauer Island before, and the entire explosion almost completely turned the sea area over. And after the explosion, almost all nearby marine life was affected by the explosion.
After suffering a fatal injury, there was a piece of white fish floating on the sea surface that looked normal but had all its internal organs broken.
"Yes, this kind of thing is indeed very useful in this place. But the reinforcements from the White Eagle Federation believe that they have a complete combat system. Although one or two such weapons can have some effect, from another perspective
You say that this new type of weapon cannot be matched with their existing system at all, and it will also disrupt their layout, and it is likely that the gain will outweigh the loss." Lawrence said helplessly. "Of course, I completely understand their thinking."
At this point, he changed the subject and pointed to several newly built small fortifications with large-caliber mortars inside the mountain range near the port. He said, "But they did take several large-caliber mortars from us."
cannon and a batch of mortar shells. Because of the promotion of my previous partner, the dwarf Owen, they had quite a lot of experience in how to operate mortars. They thought this weapon was very effective in this situation. So after learning that I
When I had spare artillery, I borrowed some of it from me."
"They still have vision." Saifei nodded seriously and said. "I recently looked at the income of our island, and I have to say that those arms are really profitable. I hope this time with the sahuagin people
We can sell a batch of mortars here after the battle is over."
