"That's really great." After learning that Lawrence had come to rescue them with reinforcements this time, Viscount Surrey hugged Lawrence in excitement and shouted to the people sitting at the table.
"We'd better change our plans now, because this time we all have reinforcements."
"What? Reinforcements, really!"
"I heard there are reinforcements. Where are they? Where are they?"
"How many people are there, where are they, and what is their approximate situation?"
As soon as the Viscount of Surrey finished speaking, everyone at the table stood up and gathered around, asking questions at the same time.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you the next thing. You can ask after I finish." After seeing everyone rushing up to ask about reinforcements, the Viscount of Surrey put his hands down and made a gesture.
Everyone made quiet gestures, and then began to introduce to everyone the reason why Lawrence came here this time.
After briefly introducing how Lawrence summoned reinforcements yesterday after discovering something was wrong, Lawrence began to introduce the scale and general situation of the reinforcements he brought this time.
After he finished the introduction, everyone returned to the table and began to discuss the battle plan.
Because reinforcements joined the battlefield, all those old plans were naturally scrapped. Everyone immediately began to formulate new combat plans based on the specific situation of the two hundred or so reinforcements.
However, compared with the solemn atmosphere in the tent just now, the atmosphere in the room now suddenly seemed much more relaxed. After all, everyone now knew that what Lawrence had brought was an entire regular army with some heavy firepower support, so the tension was naturally relieved.
Soothing.
"I currently have more than 260 people, of which more than 220 are sailors on warships. Although their combat level is a little worse than that of the army, it is definitely much better than those who look like they come from more than a dozen thieves.
The rabble."
After standing in the main seat in front of the table, Lawrence began to introduce the situation of the reinforcements.
"In addition to these regular troops, there are also three adventure groups and some factory security personnel accompanying us. They total about 40 people."
"These people may have average coordination in group operations, but they are good at individual combat. Especially when regular troops help them attract the opponent's main force, they can exert great effects."
"We have less manpower here because we are only going on an outing a few hours away from the city, so we don't have too many people." Viscount Surrey said helplessly.
"At least the total flexible force that all of us can mobilize is only more than fifty people. If it weren't for the local terrain, we don't even think we can hold it."
"More importantly, because I think this adventure is just an outing. So except for a few of them, basically all these security guards carry pistols that are easy to carry around and are also convenient for fighting in narrow areas. There is only 1
/3 of the people brought spears."
"Okay, now I understand the situation." Lawrence nodded and said, then took out a badge made of gold and enamel from his arms.
"Since the next battle is very important to us, it is definitely not possible for us to fight alone, so I hope that I will take overall command of the next battle."
Lawrence handed the badge in his hand to Saphire and asked her to show it to everyone on the field, and then said.
"I recommend myself to be the commander here because I have experience in commanding the army in combat before. This badge was given to me by the White Eagle Federation because I commanded the army to victory in the last war in the Sea of Stars region.
"
After a brief walk around the Saphire tent to show off the medal that the White Eagle Federation had previously issued to Lawrence, Lawrence now gained the highest command authority on the battlefield.
On the one hand, this is because whether it is the number of troops invested in this battle, combat experience or Lawrence's own extraordinary level, he is the highest among everyone present, so from a combat perspective, he is indeed the highest among everyone present.
Best candidate for commander.
On the other hand, in terms of status alone, Lawrence was also the person with the highest status among everyone present.
After all, the Holy Visby Empire is considered the top power in the Old World, so from a secular perspective, the country's hereditary fiefdom count is indeed more noble than most of the wealthy businessmen or court nobles present.
"Well, since everyone now thinks that I will be the supreme commander on the battlefield, then I will tell you my plan."
After confirming the ownership of the command, Lawrence took out the surrounding sketch he had just drawn from his space bag, and then began to talk. "This is the situation we have observed before. Now the group of people is mainly concentrated in the following seven locations.
——”
In the next 20 minutes, everyone in the tent began to discuss various details about the battle. Although there were a lot of complications, an agreement was finally reached.
"——I think these are the details of our next battle." Lawrence said as he put away the map on the table.
"I have tried my best to assign combat tasks to everyone according to their level, but there may be various accidents in actual combat. But I hope that no matter what kind of accidents we encounter, everyone present can fulfill their duties.
.Because this battle concerns everyone."
"Understood." Everyone present said at the same time, and then they began to act according to the plan. But more than half an hour after they started to implement the plan, the gangsters on the mountain finally realized that something was wrong.
"Hey, leaker. Look what's going on down there." A gangster holding a tattered telescope and a long gun on his back suddenly shook the other gangster next to him and asked.
"Why are all the fat sheep in the valley gathered together?"
"Weren't they collecting firewood just now? Maybe they were preparing for a bonfire banquet. You know, that group of rich people really like to play some games when they go out, and they are often the content that we are tired of."
"For example, you can catch some wild animals all over the mountains and plains, or you can use firewood to barbecue some food in the wild."
The gangster who was taking a nap and had a piece of his mouth cut off with a knife showed an unhappy look on his face after being shaken awake by his companions. At the same time, he said.
"And when doing these things, they will naturally gather together. Maybe we can see those guys dancing around the campfire later."
"No, that's not the case." The gangster who was reminded just now said nervously, "The group of people outside the valley before are shrinking back into the valley. I don't think that group of rich men will bring the group of bodyguards with them.
Have a bonfire party."
"What?" After being reminded like this, the gangster named Leafezui immediately grabbed the binoculars and carefully observed the situation in the valley. As expected, he saw the bodyguards who had been on guard outside starting to stand up from their sentry positions and move toward the valley.
Went inside.
"Haha - I was actually deceived just now." As a veteran gangster, the leaker quickly discovered something was wrong with the situation below. "It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed, so these people want to use the terrain to defend.
"
At this time, the camp below had begun to complete the preliminary defense in accordance with Lawrence's order.
Everyone used the opportunity of pretending to hold a bonfire banquet to form a circle around the carriage carriage and a lot of debris as a bunker. Then, using the cover of a series of bunkers, they quietly mobilized manpower to build a simple defensive front.
Recruiting the group of security personnel outside is the last step of the battle. After all, the illusion of a bonfire banquet can only confuse the observers outside for a short period of time.
So after simply building the defense line, Lawrence immediately directed everyone to remove their disguises and enter a state of combat readiness.
