After many failed attacks, the group of thieves who were encouraged quickly stopped their previous large-scale attack. Instead, they began to use the fallen trees, rocks, wood and other obstacles as well as the defenders at the valley entrance.
They shot at each other.
"It seems that this group of thieves can't hold on any longer." A gunman expressed his opinion in a low voice. "After more than thirty people died, they began to think about retreating. This is indeed very temporary. It is very suitable for improvising.
Characteristics of rabble fighting.”
"No, the situation is not normal now." Seeing that the soldiers on the front line were slacking off, Lawrence immediately warned everyone from the side. "If it was really a mob, they should turn around and run away now. Not like now.
Stay on the battlefield and fight with us."
"Especially when the opponent doesn't have many battle teams, it's really suspicious to continue to pester us repeatedly and not withdraw from the battlefield no matter what."
Lawrence's analysis is not unreasonable. For a group of thieves, such an existence gathered together because of interests naturally cannot have a strong sense of mission.
In other words, under normal circumstances, when they encounter a place that cannot be attacked for a long time, they have to retreat or change directions. The method of sticking here like this kind of brown candy basically does not exist for thieves.
Especially among the thieves attacking now, Lawrence did not see the existence of a few extraordinary ones. At the same time, the members of the core thieves group were unable to mobilize more troops because of the fierce pursuit of the new Saul Island Navy led by Lawrence.
More manpower will be used to supervise the army.
Under such circumstances, the fact that these improvised rabble still had the courage to launch round after round of attacks on Lawrence's position can only mean one thing, and that is that they thought they could still win.
Because only the possibility of making a huge sum of money and escaping safely will allow these people to persevere even if there are pursuers after interception.
On the other hand, because the place where the regiment brought by Lawrence previously ambush was separated from the valley mouth by a valley, in order to avoid the shells accidentally hitting friendly forces in the valley, they could only stop shooting at the valley mouth area.
Without the threat of shells falling from the sky, the losses of the thieves were naturally much smaller.
At the same time, with low casualties, they were naturally able to maintain suppression of the interior of the valley before Lawrence and his main force came around from the other side of the valley, and wait for the arrival of that important node for them.
"I think it won't be possible for the other side to launch a large-scale attack on us for a while." After everyone exchanged shots for a minute or two, Lawrence roughly grasped the specific situation of the group of gangsters opposite him.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to break out with the manpower Lawrence and the others currently have, but with the help of the defense line constructed by these carriages, carriages and debris, there is also no hope for this group of bandits to break in.
So for Lawrence, it actually didn't matter whether he was here or not in this stalemate battle situation. Therefore, during this period of time, he basically focused all his attention on the surrounding mountains.
According to his guess, if the other party really wanted to reverse the situation of the war, then sending extraordinary beings to attack across the mountains was the only option for this group of bandits.
"Someone is coming." Just two or three minutes after retreating from the defense line to the center of the valley, Lawrence felt that some of the monster shadows he had previously arranged on the side of the mountain sensed vibrations in the surrounding air.
But when Lawrence controlled these phantoms to monitor the surrounding situation, he didn't see anything passing by.
"The other party plans to come over from the mountain over there." After seeing this, Lawrence immediately gave instructions to the team headed by Sephiel and the priest Hannah, who were waiting in the tent as a reserve team.
"They are in a state of invisibility now, and they should be preparing for a sneak attack. Do any of you have any methods against invisibility magic?"
"I have an anti-invisibility scroll, so there is no problem in dealing with enemies who can become invisible." Priest Hannah took out a scroll from her bag and said.
"But what should we do next? Should we go directly to the cliff to block the opponent or -"
"It is not a good idea to block the opponent. After all, we only have so many people, and it is difficult to ensure that they are all blocked on the outside of the battle line. If so few people really rush in to kidnap hostages, it will be a big trouble."
Lawrence raised a palm and said. "So for us, we must burst out with powerful lethality in a short time and kill as many people as possible at the first time. Only in this way can we
Stop the other party’s actions.”
After speaking, Lawrence began to lay out the battle tactics. Taking into account everyone's overall cooperation level and combat effectiveness, the tactics he formulated were also very simple.
"——This is our battle plan next. Saphiel and I will hide in the gold and blue tent for a while, while your team will hide in the red and yellow tent opposite."
Lawrence lowered his voice and ordered at a very fast speed. "Wait for my order after the war starts. As soon as I take action, Hannah, activate the anti-invisibility scroll and release it towards the place where I attack. Then everyone can
Direct attack."
"Understood." Hannah nodded seriously. She was not surprised that Lawrence could master the power of breaking invisibility. After all, every warlock mastered different abilities.
Although there are not many warlocks who possess abilities similar to true vision, they are definitely not few. Therefore, it is not surprising that Lawrence has such an ability.
After Lawrence arranged all the tasks, the reserve team that had been hiding there immediately took action.
Fortunately, this valley was filled with various temporary tents due to simple construction before, so they were able to enter their respective ambush positions as quickly as possible while avoiding the sight of the attackers.
"How many people are there in that group?" After entering the tent, Lawrence wiped his hands on his clothes, then held the sword in his hand and asked Lawrence. "Also, where are they now?"
"They are on the mountain now, and they seem to be trying to climb down with ropes. If so -" Lawrence said and began to summon a large number of monster phantoms, and then let those monster phantoms climb up the mountain.
"What are you doing now?" Seeing Lawrence summoning fire bees one after another to fly into the sky, and then summoning the phantoms of hobgoblins one after another, Saphiel asked with some confusion.
road.
"I think our tactics may have to change a little bit because the opponent is now more clumsy than I thought before, so I have a better tactic now."
Because Lawrence and his team were short of manpower, the guards were distributed according to the surrounding terrain.
For example, the largest number of manpower was naturally concentrated at the mouth of the valley. In the area with a relatively gentle slope at the back, there were also some guards watching the situation above the hillside with vigilance.
On the other side of the valley, there are steep cliffs because the terrain is difficult, so Lawrence and the others only left a servant with a shotgun to keep an eye on them.
Obviously, the group of bandits who are now preparing to launch a sneak attack on the valley have also discovered this. Therefore, they have prepared a series of equipment plans to launch a surprise attack from the weak point of this defensive area.
It's just that I don't know whether it was for safety or because those people's extraordinary level was indeed relatively poor, so they chose to pass the rope.
"Let me see, they have begun to climb down the rope." Lawrence explained to Saifei in a low voice while detecting the enemy's position through the phantoms of the monsters. "As long as - wait, these
