"Sure enough, there are some abnormal observers in the estuary area." At the observation post at the top of the ship's mast, Lawrence held up the telescope and muttered quietly.
At this time, the small fleet of two boats they were in was slowly passing by less than 1500m away from the mouth of the river, so Lawrence could just take this opportunity to observe the situation at the mouth of the river.
And when he had just changed into a sailor's uniform and climbed onto the mast to observe for less than 30 seconds, he noticed the fleeting reflection of the glass lens on a small slope beside the river mouth.
Unlike sea-going ships, which often stay away from the coastline in order to avoid running aground or hitting reefs, most routes in the Great Lakes prefer to take detours and stay closer to the lakeshore.
After all, there are pesky freshwater fishmen everywhere below the surface of the lake, so ships generally try to choose shallow water areas with fewer fishmen for activities.
In this case, Lawrence only had to let all the commandos hide in the cabin or simply hide behind the string of the boat. Then they could smoothly sail past the river mouth at close range without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Because extraordinary power will strengthen the body of those who master it, when the ship approached the river mouth, Lawrence and another ranger disguised themselves as sailors and climbed onto the mast to investigate the situation on the shore.
And just as they had guessed before, someone had indeed established an observation post in this crucial estuary area and monitored various situations without a face.
It has to be said that these observers still have some experience in this area. At least Lawrence did not discover an observation point hidden in the grass of the mound with branches and weeds until he saw the reflection.
After discovering the observation point, Lawrence immediately summoned the phantoms of several insects. Using the observation post as the core, he began to investigate the surrounding situation. Soon, he found several insects.
At the location of the observation post.
"Although these guys are not extraordinary, they do look like a group of veterans." After Lawrence finished his observation and joined everyone, his first words were his guess about the identity of that group of people.
"I guess they are some experienced outlaws."
"The reason why I came to this conclusion is very simple, because after discovering the first observation point just now, I immediately asked my summons to carefully search the surrounding situation."
Lawrence said as he took out the map just now, and then drew a few circles in the river mouth area. "Except for the flash of light just now, there is a big stone on the other side of the river slightly upstream, and behind the stone there is a
A three-person observation team. There is also a hidden unit behind the small mound where the flash point is located, and a five-person combat team is stationed."
"Then we should re-plan our action plan." The lieutenant looked at Lawrence and said. "Being able to deploy three groups with a total of more than ten people at the mouth of the river at once shows one thing, that is, the other party has sufficient resources.
Manpower. By the way, Your Excellency, have you noticed any characteristics of those three groups of people?"
"There are some characteristics." After being asked by the lieutenant, Lawrence immediately recalled what he had just seen, and soon he discovered several small things that he had just discovered during the investigation.
"If I remember correctly, these three groups of people should come from three different forces."
"For example, the observation post that we first discovered using a telescope to spy on us, and the team at the rear did not look like a group that had been together before. Because they were obviously a little confused in terms of equipment and coordination. It seemed that
It’s a ragtag group of people thrown together at once.”
"But the team hidden further upstream of the river is completely different. Although there is only one transcendent between them, they all have the same equipment and weapons."
Having said this, Lawrence frowned and looked at the map, and then continued. "And the post they chose is also very unique. Because of the blockage of a huge rock, that place can just block the attack from the direction of the river. But at the same time,
We can also see the situation of the outpost at the mouth of the river and the situation of the small team behind the outpost."
"If this is the case, then the opponent is likely to be a commando composed of a relatively strong core team and a large group of ragtag people."
After listening to Lawrence's answer, the lieutenant quickly came to a conclusion. "That is to say, the opponent's manpower should not be too small, and may even be more than ours."
"But on the other hand, those guys will definitely not be as well-organized as us." After talking about the opponent's advantages, the officer also began to analyze the opponent's disadvantages.
"From the layout of sentry posts, we can see that the opponent's internal forces are only integrated through strong strength. In fact, there is a huge gap between the core manpower and the manpower recruited from the periphery. Therefore, if there is a fight, the opponent's overall morale should not be
Too high..”
Based on the newly obtained information, Lawrence and the others immediately adjusted their offensive tactics. More than an hour later, Lawrence and the others, who had already formulated a plan, stepped onto the lake water to land from the direction of the shallows again.
After everyone lined up on the shore, they immediately began to march north along the lake shore.
While the Sauer Island navy under Lawrence was advancing, the adventurers who came to support also entered the hilly area on the shore of the lake and began to open a reconnaissance line.
According to the plan, these extraordinary beings will provide reconnaissance for large forces along the way and interrupt the battlefield in emergencies.
"There are some patrols and some fixed sentry posts." As Lawrence and the others moved forward, the extraordinary people who were scouting in the front quickly reported what they discovered along the way through the paper figures that Lawrence had distributed to them.
question.
"The total number of patrols along this route alone has exceeded 30. It seems that the other party wants to make a big news this time." The wanderer who was commanding the reconnaissance team from the front said.
"It's normal. At least a group of people who can figure out how to get a group of wealthy people together and plot evil will naturally come up with a big plan."
Lawrence stood on a small mound and said to a bridge over the river, "Have you scouted that bridge? I think this is the only place on the map where we can cross the river to reach our destination."
"We have just scouted that side." The rogue replied to Lawrence. "There is a five-man team stationed on each side of the bridge, and these teams all have a transcendent as their leader."
"In addition, there is a patrol team composed of two extraordinary beings and four elite gunmen on the bridge constantly patrolling there."
"This is a bit abnormal." After listening to the wanderer's report, Lawrence had a puzzled look on his face.
"Why are so many people stationed on this bridge far away from their ambush circle? Even if a defensive circle is established, there is no need to station so many people so far away!"
"This shouldn't be specifically aimed at us." Just when Lawrence began to think about whether his behavior would fall into the enemy's trap, the voice of the previous naval staff officer appeared in the paper man's communication network.
"If you want to stop intruders, such a team is basically useless. Because if there are relatively few intruders, you can completely bypass them, but if there are many intruders, these people will not be able to stop them at all."
"Yes, I think this group of people should be guarding the retreat of the conspirators." Saphire, standing next to Lawrence, put forward his own opinion.
"You see, what they should be guarding now is a retreat road from the ruins all the way to the lake. If I guess correctly, the other party will probably take wealth, hostages or other things through the waterway after ending their conspiracy.
