After the alarm sounded, Nora immediately took off and began the reconnaissance mission.
Although there is a four-man Dragon Eagle team belonging to the elves and two observation balloons belonging to the artillery left here in Pine Valley, when a large number of vampire bats and harpies came over like dark clouds, the entire Pine Valley
Only small dolls can guarantee their own safety in action.
"Damn, the surrounding wilderness races are all crazy." After quickly avoiding two rushing vampire bats and killing the third one, Nora quickly reported to Lawrence through soul contact.
"There are currently 14 confirmed exits to the underground world in the mountain forest area 5 to 7 kilometers away from us. A large number of reinforcements from the wilderness races are pouring out of those exits. I saw more than 2,500 people.
, and the number is increasing.”
"Okay, I understand." After figuring out the surrounding troop dispatch points of the wilderness races through the soul connection, and asking Shu Mei, who was also connected to the soul network, to mark these points on the map, Lawrence asked next.
"Apart from the other side's soldiers, have you noticed any heavy weapons appearing in the other side's camp?"
"Nothing has been found yet." While quickly passing through the high altitude of the front of the position and cutting all the enemy air forces in and around her route into pieces, Nora carefully observed the situation on the wilderness race position and then answered.
"But I saw that the other party sent out a large number of people to cut down trees, apparently to clear a road."
"Road?" After hearing Nora's report, Lawrence was immediately keenly aware of the problem.
Because if that group of wilderness races were just infantry or cavalry, they would not need to cut down trees and level the land to build roads, and now this approach clearly shows that the other side has some big guys that need to pass.
"It could be the Fire Dragon Cannon and the Dwarven Rockets from the gray dwarves. It could also be the heavy bladed wheel ballista or the bee stinger ballista from the dark elves."
After Lawrence took the newly acquired information to the headquarters next door to report on the investigation, Major Louis who received him analyzed it.
"Compared with those gnolls or goblins, the gray dwarves and dark elves are the real big trouble. Although they are indeed not as good as us in terms of conventional artillery, after combining a variety of magic and extraordinary powers, their
The lethality of those war machines is no worse than our heavy artillery."
"By the way, can you ask your puppet to continue investigating for a while?" Finally, Major Louis said to Lawrence, "The hot air balloon has no way to take off, and the dragon eagle knights of the elves can only stay in the valley for the time being.
Patrolling above. So now the only one who can obtain information from further distance is your puppet."
"Nora is willing to take on this task." After communicating with the little doll through the soul connection, Lawrence gave a positive reply to the major in front of him.
"And she also said that she can monitor the enemy's position in real time and provide guidance for our artillery."
"Can you still guide artillery strikes? That would be great." After hearing what Lawrence said, Major Louis had a look of surprise on his face.
Although the intelligence of ordinary extraordinary beings and even the familiars or puppets around the caster is not very high, Major Louis has also seen some puppets around the caster that are almost as smart as people.
But today, he really didn't expect that the doll next to Lawrence could be so versatile. Not only could he act cute, he could fight, he could heal, and he could actually direct artillery fire.
"She has actually cooperated with the artillerymen under me several times." Lawrence said with a smile, "So I will ask Nora to give you the data later and then let her command the four artillerymen under me to fire some
Flares, so that they can assist the novice artillerymen in shooting."
Although Pine Valley, as an important location, has some garrison artillery, those artillery are not only small in number, but also far less elite than the group of artillery on the front line.
Fortunately, after Lawrence invented the mortar, units similar to this group of combat engineers of the New World Republic have added mortar units to their troops.
However, these mortars, which are directly assigned to infantry or even cavalry units, are quite different from traditional artillery. For example, many of them shoot purely based on intuition rather than various data.
So after Nora transmits the signal back, these experienced experts from Sauer Island will need to launch cannonballs for guidance.
"Lieutenant Colonel Han told me before that they have several artillery gunners who only know the most basic shooting principles. When providing artillery support to them on a daily basis, the angle of the artillery is completely based on the feel of the hand."
Having said this, Louis, as a traditional officer, shrugged his shoulders. "Actually, I admire their courage, because in that case, the probability of a cannonball hitting one's own head is no more than hitting someone else's head."
How low is the probability.”
"But what I must say is that in an emergency, the fire support speed of firing at the front by feeling is much faster than the traditional artillery method of calculating a series of data and then firing."
Lawrence felt that he had to say something fair on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Chen and the others at this time. "Especially for combat engineers like them who usually engage in very short distances, sometimes they have to pay the price of accidental damage to obtain fire support."
"You are right, at least now they are the only ones here in Pine Valley who can play with those grenade launchers." Major Louis also realized the difference between the group of New Island Republic combat engineers and ordinary troops. "For them,
, even if a friendly fire occurs in close combat, it is better than not receiving fire support."
While they were chatting, some of the artillery placed on the position started firing, but it was only a trial shot.
So Lawrence and the others heard the firing sounds of those artillery pieces intermittently, and could see the impact points of those artillery shells varying in distance and nearness, without any concentrated firing.
Considering that the enemy was approaching Pine Valley, Lawrence returned to the field hospital to prepare to receive patients after explaining to Louis the two newly discovered points in the air by Nora during this period.
As the wilderness race continued to approach, Lawrence also heard the shooting sounds from the front line. However, unlike what he imagined, these shooting sounds were always scattered. They did not come as densely as Lawrence had imagined before.
The sound of shooting.
"The wilderness races are sending a group of people to shoot at us from a distance. It feels like they are stalling for time." After using the light to condense into a large net and chop all the large groups of vampire bats rushing to the front into diced meat, Lawrence Hui reported
.
"But I think the casualties on both sides should be very small now, because the other side is in the woods, and our side is in the trenches and fortifications."
"It seems that those guys are waiting for night to fall." After hearing what Nora said, Lawrence immediately guessed what these wilderness races were planning.
Like the wilderness races Lawrence encountered before, as long as their brains are not flooded, they will realize that they are born with dark vision and have far more advantages at night than during the day.
At least in the dark night, it is difficult for the artillery fire of civilized races to accurately shoot. This can help them offset the firepower advantage of civilized races to the greatest extent.
After realizing what the other party was going to do, Lawrence immediately ordered the precision shooters under his command to join the front line to help. After all, in this kind of sniper operation, the snipers trained based on the knowledge in Lawrence's mind and a lot of actual combat experience are better
Suitable for this kind of precision shooter battle.
Not long after several small-scale precision shooter units left the field hospital and headed to the front line, some wounded people came to the hospital sporadically, and soon the field hospital was operating at high speed.
