"Good afternoon, Major Louis." After watching the middle-aged blond major salute him, Lawrence raised his hand and saluted back, and then led officers at all levels to a small tent next to the medical tent.
Walked over.
When he and Major Louis entered the tent, the second lieutenant and two orderlies stood at the door of their own accord.
"It seems that what you want to talk to me about are some very important issues." Looking at the actions of the soldiers, Lawrence immediately understood the level of intelligence that the major wanted to discuss with him, so he motioned to Nora to stay.
At the door, Major Louis asked him after sitting down face to face.
"May I ask if the commander has any news for me?"
"This is very bad news, and it is not suitable for others to know it for the time being." Major Louis said to Lawrence with a serious face, "It mainly comes from the reconnaissance troops sent out at noon today."
"From noon to now, we have successively dispatched seven reconnaissance units to the surrounding areas. But by 3 p.m., we found that the first reconnaissance unit sent earlier did not return as scheduled.
.”
"At the beginning, we didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, when the reconnaissance troops were on the front line, they were often unable to act on time and as planned due to various circumstances. But the problem was that in the next two hours, the two that were supposed to return in turn went to other places.
The regional reconnaissance team was also unable to return."
"This is not normal." After hearing this, Lawrence frowned and said.
"The reconnaissance teams are basically all elites, and they often include some professionally trained extraordinary beings. How is it possible that all three reconnaissance teams have disappeared? By the way, I remember that the reconnaissance teams should have some weapons for transmitting intelligence.
Special magic props——"
"Yes, they do have some magic props on them for communication in emergencies. But the problem is that none of the magic props carried by the three teams sent any response." Major Louis said with a helpless look.
"The reconnaissance troops sent later reported to the headquarters after returning that the defense line of the wilderness race has been further strengthened today, and at the same time the defense line has been pushed further forward, which makes it impossible for them to break through the defense line of the wilderness race like before."
"It seems that the situation is indeed a bit bad now." Lawrence's face suddenly turned ugly. This situation now feels like a storm is coming.
But soon, he thought of a very important question. "By the way, if that's the case, is there anything wrong with you coming to me now?"
"Well, I would like to ask your puppet to go out for reconnaissance." After being asked by Lawrence, Major Louis paused for a moment and then said. "Because this situation is happening on the entire front now, so we
I can't apply for any support from the headquarters, so I can only find a way now."
Obviously, the group of wilderness races should be preparing to make a big news now, and the coalition of civilized races has too many points that need to be defended on the front.
Therefore, during this critical period, it is natural to invest our elite forces in important nodes such as the offensive front line, while places like Pine Valley have naturally been ignored.
"I think there should be no problem." Lawrence said, "Now Nora should be willing to make a trip for everyone's safety."
Lawrence said this because although Nora was outside the tent now, the thin layer of cloth and the distance of four or five meters made no difference to Nora as if she was by his side.
Therefore, even though Lawrence and Louis lowered their voices just now, Nora still clearly heard the cause and effect of the matter, and expressed her willingness to attack through the soul connection to Lawrence.
"If the surrounding situation is not right, I think it would be a good thing for me to go take a look. At least I can get enough information as soon as possible."
Just when Major Louis expressed his gratitude to Lawrence, Nora's voice appeared in Lawrence's mind through soul connection. "After all, in this situation, I am the only one who can understand the surrounding situation."
Soon, Nora took off directly on the spot and flew towards the outskirts of Pine Valley. According to the plan, Nora will start to fly clockwise outward with the valley area of Pine Valley as the center to find out the specific situation of the current wilderness racial front.
, and then focus on investigating the locations where the reconnaissance team left before.
After Nora turned into a small black dot in the sky, Lawrence immediately summoned the book charm, and then asked it to draw the investigation results he obtained through the connection with the soul of the little doll.
Soon, pieces of white paper were put into his body by the tentacles extended by Book Charm, and then pictures were printed out.
"Someone actually built an altar on Highland No. 7 in the west."
"Yes, some jackal vanguards also appeared in the No. 2 Valley where there was no one before. These people are actually equipped with some old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns."
Soon, the second lieutenant outside called a few officers, and then analyzed the patterns with Major Louis, and analyzed some new information from these patterns.
"Wait a minute, I seem to have seen some strange traces." After investigating the situation around Pine Valley, Nora began to slowly expand the scope of the investigation.
After searching the direction in which the first two teams were heading and returning empty-handed, she found some unusual signs in the direction where the last reconnaissance team disappeared, "it seemed like there was some unusual gathering of wilderness races there."
"Then you have to be careful." Lawrence said. He knew that Nora would definitely not let go of this suspicion in this situation, so he could only warn her. "If you find anything wrong over there, tell me quickly.
I will immediately ask the artillery to support you and help you open a passage."
The reason why the wilderness race army headed by several hobgoblins dared to gather at this time is also very simple, because there are several hills with a height of only 30~50m between this place and Pine Valley, so under normal circumstances, civilization
It is basically impossible for artillery from the racial side to hit them.
The reason for this identification is also very simple. It is because the mortar with extremely strong deflection capability has been invented for less than a year and is not very popular. In addition, various races consciously hide many of their weaknesses from each other.
thing, so naturally this group of wilderness races don’t know about the existence of mortars.
Lawrence now has four direct heavy mortars in hand, and they are now ready to be fired at any time.
Although the range of these mortars is still a little closer than the modern mortars in Lawrence's impression, they are still enough to cover the group of wilderness races targeted by Nora.
After knowing that she had sufficient fire support behind her, Nora felt that her operation was more certain of success.
So after confirming that the artillery had been aimed in this direction, she wrapped some silver-green threads around her body, then used magic to hide her figure and quietly moved towards the location of the group of wilderness races.
When Nora approached the opponent's position, in addition to the howls of the wilderness races, she also heard scattered gunshots.
These sounds immediately cheered Nora up, because the sound of gunshots meant that fighting was still breaking out in that place, instead of only a few traces of crossfire being found in the two directions before.
"There are still people alive in this reconnaissance team." After getting closer, Nora found that this group of wilderness races were fan-shaped and blocking the entrance of a cave. At the entrance of the cave, there were two or three gnolls lying there motionless.
It can be seen from the pool of blood under these jackals that they were probably killed by the people in the cave during the attack.
In the distance, a male dark elf as the commander was instructing some goblins to bring various branches and weeds from a distance and pile them near the entrance of the cave. It seemed that the next step was to use smoke to smoke the food in the cave.
