Even though Lawrence tried his best to maintain the morale of the goblins and let them stay where they were and fight the humans, unfortunately, as the human army and Nora quickly killed the goblins on the field, the longing for life in the goblin souls
Finally breaking through the shackles of magic, they then fled in all directions.
Of course, this does not mean that the magic that controls human souls and consciousness is not powerful enough. It can only mean that Lawrence's current level is somewhat insufficient. He feels that if he had a better mastery of this kind of magic or his extraordinary level was higher,
Then the effect of this magic should become stronger.
But this does not mean that Lawrence has nothing to do now. After discovering that the original plan did not work, he immediately changed his mind and amplified the fear and chaos in the hearts of these goblins as much as possible. Let the fear and chaos of the goblins on the battlefield be shattered.
The inner bottom line, and then use these crazy goblins to completely disrupt the current situation on the battlefield.
The entire chase lasted until night. Under the guidance of Nora, the human army even entered the forest and chased them far away. They even occupied two goblin camps in the forest and stationed them there.
According to Nola's observations, the number of goblins that were able to escape in the end would not exceed 100, and they were all just the most common kind of goblins.
After the chase ended at night, everyone returned to the two forward bases built at the ruins of the goblin tribe one after another. Only a handful of elite ratmen were left and began to wander around those camps to investigate possible surroundings.
existing enemies, and try to hunt down any goblins that may be wandering nearby.
"This is a perfect victory." Orchid and Fatina, whose hair looked wet, walked in together, and before they came in, the rich voice unique to the tauren also came in. "My Earl
Sir, can we start our construction plan next?"
Because of the sudden sahuagin invasion, Lawrence and his team's previously planned expansion war on the Blue Mountain Meadows had to come to a standstill. However, with the efforts of the people left behind, the plan was still moving forward slowly but steadily.
To advance forward, such as the construction of fortresses at these key locations, and the hoarding of various war-related materials.
So now for Lawrence and the others, all the prerequisites for expanding the Blue Mountain meadow have been prepared. Therefore, at this moment of victory in the war, Orchid asked Lawrence directly before even entering the tent.
One step plan.
Compared with humans, the core of the Tauren's traditional industry is breeding, and their breeding industry is also very dependent on natural grasslands. So after eliminating the group of goblins that hindered the development of grasslands, Orchid temporarily dealt with this matter
.Tie He immediately asked Lawrence about his next action plan.
"Ah, the plan like the Blue Mountain Meadow will start soon. But I still need to do some research on the specific situation before I can make a decision." After looking at the orchid that came in after opening the door curtain, Lawrence motioned for her to sit down and said
"Because I need to know everyone's situation now. After all, we just experienced a large-scale war."
"Although there were basically no personnel losses during the war, the soldiers are now in a state of exhaustion due to the relatively high intensity of the war. More importantly, the supplies, especially weapons and ammunition, in this battle
The consumption on this side is quite serious, and it is no longer enough to sustain the next high-intensity war."
If you want to win in a war, if you don't have a numerical advantage, then firepower advantage is very important. Fortunately, when Lawrence and the others went to support the defense of Vieques, the war ended much earlier than everyone expected. So.
Of course, there are still a lot of ammunition left on the island that had been shipped to the island in a hurry.
Unlike weapons such as firearms and artillery, ammunition is extremely troublesome to store and transport. What's even more terrible is that for a large industrial country like the White Eagle Federation, whether these ammunition is shipped back or stored locally is a very costly approach.
.And there is not a big local market for selling it locally.
As for selling it privately, it is even more impossible, not to mention that dangerous goods such as ammunition may cause serious problems if they get out of control. Just because there was a group of church members supervising this battle, they knew that it was okay to secretly take some ammunition and sell it, but I wanted to
Selling large amounts of ammunition privately is absolutely useless.
Therefore, the governor of the island simply ordered the warehouse to be opened with the tacit approval of the top commander sent from the mainland, allowing Lawrence to take as much ammunition as he wanted. In this way, they could directly report to the top and provide weapons to friendly forces.
It can be regarded as getting rid of a huge trouble.
For Lawrence and the others, there will be a series of development activities to be carried out on the island next. Therefore, necessary consumables such as ammunition are naturally needed. Even if a large amount of cheap ammunition can be obtained through Lawrence's relationship, no matter how cheap it is,
Cheap, but now the ammunition that can be obtained for free by just paying shipping fee is cheap.
So when Lawrence left Vieques, he rented two slow-speed sailboats to carry the ammunition. When Lawrence and the others prepared the ammunition a few days ago, the ammunition was successfully docked at the port and transported to the current war site.
front line, and played a decisive role in this battle together with those new weapons.
But even so, the entire army still consumed a huge amount of ammunition in a few hours of fighting. At least 70% to 80% of the ammunition they carried and the ammunition they had stockpiled in the fortress were consumed. In this case, they could only
You can temporarily take a defensive stance and wait for ammunition and other supplies from the rear to be delivered.
Not to mention that all the soldiers felt a little tired after experiencing this bloody battle. Therefore, it was natural for everyone to take a little time to rest, so as to avoid continuous fighting that would cause the soldiers to be too mentally stressed, and even appear in the subsequent wars.
Certain losses that should not have occurred.
"Understood, of course I understand this. I was just a little too anxious just now." After listening to Lawrence's explanation, Lanhua immediately calmed down. She naturally knew that the current situation is indeed not suitable for everyone to fight continuously. "Then let's go on.
Do you have any specific plans?”
"Of course." Lawrence said and waved his hand, and Saphire immediately took out a map and spread it out on the table with Nora. "Here is our preliminary plan. Nora had many plans before this war broke out.
This meadow was reconnoitred from the air for the first time and further detailed the plan we designed before."
"According to the idea, we will set up an elastic defense line based on the river. This defense line will be composed of a small number of strong strongholds and patrols, used to block the small-scale infiltration of the goblins far away in the meadow and provide protection when the goblins attack on a large scale.
The herdsmen on the grasslands provide valuable early warning——"
Lawrence pointed to a few small red dots on the map and explained his arrangements to Lanhua and Fatina. According to the plan, after resting in this area for a few days, Lawrence and the others would take out the goblins who had suffered heavy losses in this war.
The tribe surrendered all the land and then established a territory belonging to the civilized race on the previously demarcated grassland.
"Matching the grassland territory is the expansion of this fortress. According to the plan, this fortress located in the alpine meadows and plains and hills will become the first city after we go deep into the inland area." Lawrence finally pointed out.
He pointed to the location of the fortress on the map.
"Now, I hope that everyone can brainstorm and find more economic sources for this future city. Instead of just relying on transportation nodes as the only economic source of the city."
