In the next few days, according to the command's orders, the armies of civilized races on the entire front were desperately setting up various defensive measures and hoarding resources.
At the same time, the military also sent investigators to investigate as far away as possible at all costs in order to obtain more information.
During this period of time, Lawrence and the others obtained a lot of intelligence from other battlefields. Obviously, after this period of fighting, the wilderness races also roughly determined the main attack direction of the civilized races.
Therefore, intelligence showed that those troops who were feigning attacks in other directions of the mountain range almost all found that the wilderness race legions opposite them were showing signs of retreat. They were obviously planning to temporarily avoid the front line and wait for the humans to retreat before returning.
But even so, for the civilized race armies who are feigning attacks in other places, they have now made a profit.
Because during this vacuum period when the power of the wilderness races has been significantly weakened, as long as those civilized race forces are not too greedy, they can always find a way to occupy one or two pieces of land that originally belonged to the wilderness races.
For Lawrence, the news about the war situation that he paid the most attention to was the news coming from the Republic of New Zealand.
According to the information obtained by the general headquarters from the troops west of the mountain range in recent days, the Xinzhou Republic's troops are advancing very smoothly, even too smoothly.
At first, the command headquarters thought that the group of wilderness races planned to use tactics to lure the enemy deep into the army and then ambush them.
However, after repeated investigations, we realized that the only reason why the Xinzhou Republic's army was so powerful was that the wilderness races opposite them chose to avoid their attack.
After obtaining this information, the general headquarters felt a little confused at first. However, after careful analysis, they quickly deduced the target of the next move of the wilderness races.
There is only one reason why the wilderness races chose not to stop the attacking troops from the New Island Republic at this time, and that is that the wilderness races around the future communication line have now united and are preparing to concentrate their forces to launch a decisive battle to separate the two groups of civilized races.
The army was defeated all the way.
For the civilized race, as long as this expedition fails, they will basically not choose this route again if there is no accident in the next expedition.
After all, the purpose of their expedition was to build a communication line to the north of the New World North Road connecting the north and south of the mountain range, so there was no need to stick to one point.
At least Lawrence knew that the civilized race had designed a total of five routes for this expedition. The only reason for choosing the current one was that this route won by a slim margin when everyone voted secretly. And this naturally does not represent this route.
Are there any advantages that the other four lines cannot match?
Because there have been more than one civilized expedition in history with the purpose of opening up transportation in large mountains, the wilderness races in the large mountains naturally also know what the purpose of this war is on the part of the civilized race coalition.
Therefore, for them, as long as they defeat one of the two flanking armies, the other will naturally retreat due to lack of supporting troops. Then they will be able to maintain their territory for a long period of time.
Of course, this is actually a beggar-thy-neighbor behavior, because when the civilized race coalition finds that the enemies here are too difficult to deal with, they will naturally go to other places to find enemies that are easy to deal with, and then the wilderness races in other parts of the mountain range will take advantage of them.
.
However, as we all know, the so-called wilderness races are just a general term for a series of evil races that refuse to accept civilization, admire robbing, and despise production.
For them, whether they are neighbors or compatriots, they can be targeted for robbery and killing. As long as they are not killed, it doesn't matter how many others die.
"Then how did these guys who didn't care about the coldness of their lips and teeth form a coalition army?" That evening, Nora was removing the sutures of a wounded man and asked Lawrence who was changing the dressing of another wounded man nearby.
"It's hard for me to imagine that these pure rabble could do anything together."
"You're right. If we just let the wilderness races organize themselves, they would never be able to fight us back and forth like they are now." Lawrence cleaned it up with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol and some special potion powder.
He said after seeing some fluid accumulation in the wound of the wounded man in front of him.
"In a large-scale war like the Civilization Expedition, the consciousness of the gods on both sides of the war will basically be reflected, so I think their ability to get together mainly relies on the power of the gods behind them."
In addition to gathering this ragtag group of people together, the gods of the wilderness race also did a lot of things. For example, they used the power of the gods to cover the entire battlefield to prevent the civilized race from detecting their side's movements through prophetic spells or divine spells.
Of course, the gods on the side of civilized races also did the same thing.
This is why both sides are desperately sending personnel to detect each other, because after excluding the means of magical detection, they can only obtain each other by sending a large number of investigators just like Lawrence's previous life in a world where extraordinary power did not exist.
layout.
Although investigators in this world can also use some extraordinary abilities, in fact this kind of war is no different from similar wars in the purely ordinary world of Lawrence's previous life.
Naturally, in this kind of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance battle between the scouts, both sides also suffered a large number of wounded.
The field hospital has naturally admitted a lot of wounded people of this type during this period, and because some special weapons in the hands of the other scouts made it difficult to treat some wounds, top doctors like Lawrence and Hugo had to be used.
Go directly to the field to treat the wounds of these wounded people.
"It seems like they can all recover from their wounds." After handling the wounded person in her hands and checking them, Nora turned to Lawrence and said.
"Because their injuries were mainly concentrated on fractures, bone fractures, partial soft tissue consultation and internal bleeding, but the kind of damage to the soul or loss of organs and limbs that I was most worried about did not appear."
"That's because if they were seriously injured, it would be impossible to withdraw." Lawrence said to Nora in a somewhat heavy tone.
"Don't forget that they are scouts. They need to go deep behind the enemy's lines without much support. Therefore, if they are too seriously injured, it is basically impossible for them to break through the layers of siege and withdraw."
"They are all heroes." After hearing Lawrence's explanation, Nora pursed her lips and said. With her intelligence, she naturally realized how many victims there would be among the reconnaissance troops in this situation.
"Yes, they are all heroes." Lawrence nodded with approval.
Just as Lawrence and Nora were discussing the soldiers who died in the battle, several people in military uniforms passed through the group of busy nursing staff and came to the outside of the tent where Lawrence and the others were.
Then, the second lieutenant who was leading the way put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted to Nora on the roof of the tent made to facilitate multi-line operations. "Miss Nora, where is Earl Sauer?"
"I'm here." Before Nora could answer, he saw Lawrence sticking his head out from the door of the tent in front of them. Soon, he recognized that the second lieutenant leading the way was the general who had been in Pine Valley before.
A second lieutenant serving in the headquarters. "Excuse me, what can I do?"
"Yes, there are some very urgent situations from the headquarters that need to be dealt with by you." When the second lieutenant saw Lawrence, he saluted him first, and then stepped aside to reveal the major standing behind him.
Said. "The specific situation will be introduced to you by Major Louis."
