Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 There is no malice for the soldiers to let Lawrence and the others hide in the warehouse. It is also a very normal operation to let the medical staff stay in a safe place when the war breaks out.

　　 But unlike ordinary medical personnel, Lawrence and Syfiel have the power to protect themselves on this battlefield as extraordinary people. So they first told a medical soldier who stayed behind to prepare to accept the wounded. Then followed another medical soldier who went to the front line and the soldiers ran towards the breakwater.

　　 "Mr. August, why are you here?" Looking at Lawrence and Syphile who came running. The first lieutenant mustache was surprised, and then made a decisive arrangement, "In this way, you will stay here now and be the reserve team with me and my next squad."

　　 The second lieutenant's arrangement can be said to be impeccable: a big man like Lawrence who is important to him must not be put on the front line, and it is not suitable for him to go back to the back now. In this case, putting it by your side should be the best choice.

　　At the same time, from a military point of view, it is very necessary to leave an elite reserve team in battle to prepare for various emergencies. As Lawrence and Syfiel, as the most powerful transcendents on the scene, being incorporated into the reserve team is also very in line with military regulations, and it is impossible for anyone to single out the wrong.

　　 Lawrence came here mainly to see what a large-scale military operation looks like, and he didn't want to cause trouble to others. So he and Safir readily accepted the second lieutenant's arrangement, and soon the group climbed to a port area built on the dispatch tower behind the breakwater and began to observe the entire battlefield.

　　 Today’s weather can be said to be very good for Huguang City. Although there is still some fog near the water, the visibility in the sky is very good. Standing on the high control tower, Lawrence saw the two huge airships floating above the main battlefield lake at first glance.

　　 Those are airships belonging to the Federal Air Force. They carry high-power searchlights and a complete set of magic communication and reconnaissance equipment. Whenever they projected a beam of light onto a certain lake surface, soon there would be a large number of shells roaring and all the murlocs in the light range were blown into parts and thrown to various places. You can guess how intense the frontal battlefield is by looking at the flash of shells exploding in the direction of the main battlefield and the continuous sound of artillery.

　　 And Lawrence and the others are only a few scattered fishmen attacking outside the port where they are now. Because the area of ​​the lake in the Great Lakes is so large, there are tidal phenomena like the sea.

　　 I don’t know for what reason, this fisherman’s attack was not a direct impact with the high tide as usual, but a sneak attack on this harbor when the humans subconsciously relaxed their vigilance at low tide. I have to say that the cunning group of murlocs have come up with a very good way, at least in theory.

　　 But before the war broke out, the guards deployed some simple early warning systems consisting of wooden sticks, ropes and scrap metal in the nearby shallows and shallow waters where they might be landed. And the group of murloc sneakers covered in mud touched the ropes as they marched, and then affected the metal pieces tied to the wooden sticks tied with the ropes.

　　The piece of metal ringing in one piece provided a very effective warning for the guards. After discovering that the situation was not right, the sentry quickly sounded the alarm bell and summoned the manpower. So when Lawrence and the others came to the dispatch tower, the guards below had each entered the fighting position and started shooting the group of murlocs struggling on the shallows exposed after the low tide.

　　 The core plan in this murloc attack was to use the mud on the body and the layer of fog next to the ground as a cover to pass through the shallows to the breakwater, and then suddenly attacked the humans by surprise. Unexpectedly, the alarm was triggered on the road, which made the attack self-defeating.

　　 Since the main force is stationed on the island at the entrance of the harbor, there are not many fish people that can infiltrate, and the terrain of the port and the things in the warehouse area also determine that even if the fish people succeed, they cannot leave here with their trophies.

　　 So based on these circumstances, the local commander Lieutenant Mustache's judgment, the only possibility for this group of murlocs to attack here is to create enough riots to force the local defenders to ask for help, and then drag as much of the active forces in the city as possible.

　　 "Isn't it said that the murloc's IQ is not as good as a goblin, just like a beast?" Syfiel stepped forward and put his mouth in Lawrence's ear and asked in a low voice. "Then is such a complicated plan really something Murloc can come up with?"

"The low IQ of the murloc refers to the ordinary murlocs, who account for the majority of the murloc population, but the extraordinary among them are not only not stupid, but also very clever. Humans and murlocs have suffered several miserable failures in the history of war. It's basically related to the plans of these cunning murlocs." Lawrence recounted the materials he saw in the library of St. Gutenberg's Cathedral and explained quietly.

Not all transcendents have mastered all kinds of knowledge about transcendent monsters by reading a lot of books like Lawrence. In view of the preciousness of knowledge in this world and the low speed of knowledge exchange, most transcendents, especially non-spellcasters Extraordinary people's knowledge of monsters outside their range of activities is limited to the most basic things.

Especially the transcendents who are purely mentoring and apprenticeship like Seifir have more problems in acquiring knowledge, and there are more loopholes, so she does not understand this kind of murlocs that are only common by the water. Comprehensiveness is also very normal.

　　 "It turns out that this is the case. It seems that I still have to learn a lot on the road to becoming a transcendent." After receiving the answer from Lawrence, Syfiel nodded seriously and decided to keep this knowledge in mind.

　　 While Lawrence and Syfiel were discussing the murloc problem, the battle under the control tower was still going on. Or to be precise, this is a slaughter of fish people.

　　Because the local area is an artificial port, the water depth outside the channel dug by the dredger is not deep. The special local terrain has turned these shallow water areas into shallows with a depth of only 20 or 30 centimeters.

It is extremely difficult for the fish people to move in this area where it is difficult to swim and walk, so they became targets directly after they were found, and they couldn’t stand the shots of the guards on the breakwater and treat them temporarily at the top of the five or six-meter high dam. What injuries did the guards behind the fortifications cause?

　　 "Don't worry, these fish people can't get up—" Seeing those fish people who were knocked down by a bullet on the mudflat ground, Lieutenant Mustache looked proud, but at this moment, the side of the breakwater suddenly became confused.

　　 What caused the chaos was a large piece of ice crystals spreading out in a cone~www.ltnovel.com~ A layer of frost hung on everyone in the area covered by the ice crystals, and the movements of their hands also stopped.

　　 Taking advantage of this gap, three murlocs who were a circle larger than the other murlocs suddenly jumped out. They uniformly held mace studded with various metal fragments in their hands, and knocked down several guards at once.

　　 "This—" The ensign who was beaten in the face of Haikou immediately turned black. However, he is definitely not the kind of person who ignores the lives of his subordinates for the sake of his own face. After discovering that the situation is not right, he immediately prepared to send orders for his subordinates to retreat to the warehouse area to continue resisting according to the pre-arranged plan.

　　 But when he was about to give an order, Lawrence stopped him directly.

　　 "There is no need to retreat for the time being, otherwise this group of murlocs may create the illusion of a fall here after climbing up the dam to lure the main forces in the city to divide their troops and come to rescue."

　　 While talking, Lawrence took off his rifle from behind and started loading bullets, then aimed at a black figure hidden in the darkness on the side of the port area, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang—" With a dull gunshot, an enchanted bullet flew over a distance of more than two hundred meters at high speed and penetrated into the eyes of a murloc shaman holding a pearl coral cane, destroying Its brain then flew out from the back of his head, creating a rose of flesh and bones on the back of his head.
