Due to the import of delicious food and the constant treatment of patients by field hospitals, Lawrence also gained a lot of hearts in Pine Valley.
At the same time, because he was a regular officer and not a military medical officer, Lawrence had also learned a lot of news these days while eating with senior officers in the corner of the public mess hall that belonged to officers.
Part of it is good news. For example, a group of elite Deermen troops have just entered the war zone from the Great Lakes region in the north. This group of creatures whose upper body is human and lower body is deer is very good at fighting in such rugged mountainous areas.
In particular, although they run on four hooves, they are better at fighting in this kind of terrain than the mountain infantry selected from humans.
What's even more special is that the proportion of extraordinary beings among them is much higher than that of humans, so after equipped with various powerful weapons, they can even defeat those elite teams dominated by dark elves in team battles.
In addition, the satyr tribes scattered around the large mountains also selected a group of elite hunters to actively participate in this war.
Among them are the reasons why the tribes under the White Eagle Federation responded to the federal call-up, but the most important reason is that as local indigenous people, they are really fed up with the bullying of the wilderness races in the mountains, so they very much hope to contribute their own efforts in this war.
Force to clean up those guys.
After all, they live in the same area as that group of wilderness races. If the civilized race army can successfully open up the transportation lines in the area this time, for these half-goat people, just destroying that group of wilderness races will make them suffer less.
A lot of bullying, not to mention an important transportation line can bring a lot of benefits to them living around.
However, considering the low organization level and weak combat effectiveness of this group of tribal hunters, the command headquarters simply broke up the group and distributed them to various units.
After all, although these people are said to be a bit weak in combat effectiveness, they at least know the situation in this area very well, so if they lead the way, they should be able to avoid many traps when they go deep into the mountains.
There were not many reinforcements like deer people or satyrs at this time. In addition to these races, which were not large in number, there were also some special troops that gradually gathered on the battlefield from other places.
For example, an armored force composed of 300 steam puppets was dispatched to this battlefield after completing a feint attack mission in other areas.
However, Lawrence is not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of this armored force. Although the combat effectiveness of these steam puppets that incorporate a large number of extraordinary technologies is not low, considering the terrain of the area, Lawrence does not think that these big guys can survive in this narrow mountainous area.
How much fighting power can be exerted.
Compared with these steam puppet armies that were destined to only serve as mobile firepower points at various points, Lawrence felt that the Griffin Legion and Pegasus Legion that were transferred later were what was most needed here.
Unlike the situation where various new weapons of the army and navy gradually replaced most of the extraordinary force, air combat is still inseparable from various extraordinary forces.
Because airships, as a product of technology, are too fragile, even with extraordinary power as assistance, these airships can only protect themselves in the air. Sometimes they even choose to escape or land when the enemy's air power is too strong.
Return to the ground to avoid fighting.
For example, some time ago, Lawrence and his colleagues in the Pine Valley area launched anti-aircraft fire several times to cover the landing of airships that came to transport supplies or personnel.
If a group of high-level transcendent beings headed by Nora had not cooperated with the ground defense forces to set up traps and eliminate several groups of vampire bats and harpies, now they would not even be able to ensure the safety of these transportation lines and transportation nodes behind them.
But even so, the civilized race that lacks air power has only regained air supremacy over the areas it currently occupies and a very narrow airspace around it.
The arrival of the Griffin Legion and the Pegasus Legion completely reversed the decline of the civilized race in the air battle. Just two days after the arrival of these air forces, Lawrence could no longer find the presence of the wilderness race air force in the sky of Pine Valley.
You must know that during the previous period, even amateurs like Nora would eliminate the wilderness race air force that broke into the sky above Pine Valley in double digits every day.
In the early years, the air force of the human civilization race and the air force of the wilderness race were evenly matched in air combat.
The flying beasts and harpies of the wilderness race have advantages in speed and flexibility in aerial combat, while the flying beast knights of the civilized race have the advantage of being able to fly higher and farther and climb faster.
Speed and greater load capacity.
Throughout the Cold Weapons Era, the air forces of both sides have always been evenly matched, and victory is mainly determined by the tactics and numbers of both sides.
However, as the civilized race entered the Industrial Revolution, the individual combat effectiveness of the civilized race's army increased sharply. The advantage in air combat also shifted to the civilized race.
After all, compared with those cold weapons that are mainly driven by muscle power, gunpowder weapons that are driven by chemical energy are naturally more lethal. And with the same load capacity, they can carry far more bullets than javelins and arrows.
Waiting for traditional ammunition.
Especially after entering the era of thermal weapons, the intelligent race has also formulated new tactics, and even summarized the energy-mobile air combat theory similar to the air combat theory in Lawrence's previous life in order to cooperate with the use of these thermal weapons. In this case, the civilized race can naturally
Easily defeat the air force of those wilderness races.
However, even if they win many battles, the air force of the civilized race can only guard their own positions and the skies over nearby territories. Because they once tried to expand the scope of their operations, but were defeated by high-ranking wilderness races who appeared out of nowhere.
The Extraordinary Ones shot down several of them, and finally, with great difficulty, the Extraordinary Team was able to retrieve the bodies of the wounded and victims.
But this also confirmed one thing from the side. That is, these wilderness races did not choose to leave this place to escape the joint attack of the civilized races as everyone suspected, but were preparing for a battle that would cost them all.
The counterattack of power. That’s why they will stop the power of intelligent races from detecting them at all costs as they do now.
At least some of the wounded Air Force personnel who came to the field hospital for treatment kept reminding Lawrence that a large-scale war would break out within a week to half a month when they chatted with him.
As a flying force, these military members have always been regarded as the elite of the elite. Therefore, they naturally have enough extraordinary medical resources.
However, compared with directly receiving extraordinary treatment, receiving some conventional treatment before receiving extraordinary treatment can effectively save various resources and facilitate the recovery of the injured.
For example, patients with severe trauma only need to drink a small amount of healing potion or receive one or two simple extraordinary treatments after undergoing debridement and suturing operations.
But if they relied entirely on extraordinary power for treatment, then they would need to consume 5 to 10 times more extraordinary resources to achieve similar effects.
This is why, in addition to ordinary people, there are also a lot of extraordinary people in Lawrence's field hospital.
Unlike those ordinary wounded, these wounded who received extraordinary treatment often did not need to be hospitalized, but returned directly to their respective combat units after completing the extraordinary treatment.
"The patrols of the surrounding wilderness races have been greatly intensified in the past two days. It is difficult for even me to penetrate too far behind the enemy without alerting anyone."
After performing operations on several wounded Air Force personnel, the puppet walked out of the tent and said to Lawrence, "These Air Force soldiers are right. If the wilderness race wants to start a war, these are the days."
