Struggle in the Steam Age

Even though Lawrence tried his best to maintain the morale of the goblins to keep them in place and smash the humans, but unfortunately, with the human army and Nora quickly killing the goblins on the field, the desire for life in the goblin soul Finally broke through the shackles of magic, and then fled madly.

Of course, this does not mean that the magic that manipulates human souls and consciousness is not strong enough. It can only be said that Lawrence's current level is somewhat insufficient. He felt that if he had a higher degree of mastery of this kind of magic or his own transcendent level a little higher, then the effect that this magic could exert should be stronger.

But this does not mean that Lawrence has nothing to do now. After discovering that the original plan did not work, he immediately changed his mind to amplify the fear and confusion in the hearts of this group of goblins as much as possible. Let the fear and chaos of the goblins on the battlefield shatter the inner bottom line, and then use these crazy goblins to completely disrupt the situation on the battlefield.

The whole hunt lasted until the night was over. Under Nora's guidance, the human army even entered the forest and hunted them out for a long time. They even occupied two goblin camps in the forest and stationed them. According to Nora's observation, there will be no more than 100 goblins that can escape in the end, and they are just the most common kind of goblins.

After the night’s pursuit was over, everyone returned to the two forward bases built at the goblin tribe site one after another. Only a handful of scavengers were left and began to wander around those camps to detect possible surroundings. Existing enemies, and try to hunt down the goblins who may wander nearby

"This is a perfect victory." Orchid with wet hair and Fatina walked in together, and before they came in, the thick voice peculiar to the tauren came in. "My Lord Earl, will we be able to start our construction plan next."

Because of the previous sudden Sahua Murloc invasion, the pioneering war of Lawrence and the others on the Blue Mountain Meadow had to come to a halt. However, with the efforts of the left-behind personnel, the plan is still moving forward slowly but steadily, such as the construction of fortresses in these key locations, and the hoarding of various war-related materials.

Therefore, for Lawrence and the others, all the prerequisites for planting the blue mountain meadow have been prepared. Therefore, at this moment of victory in the war, Lanhua directly asked Lawrence about the next step before he even had time to enter the tent.

Compared with human beings, the core of Tauren's traditional industry is the breeding industry, and their kind of breeding industry is also very dependent on the natural grassland. So after eliminating the group of goblins that hindered the development of the grassland, Orchid, who temporarily dealt with this matter, Iron Hoof immediately asked Lawrence about the next move.

"Ah, the plan to advance in the direction of the Blue Mountain Meadow will begin soon. However, I still need to investigate the specific situation before I can decide." After looking at the orchid that opened the door curtain, Lawrence motioned her to sit down and said To. "Because I need to know everyone's situation now, after all, we just experienced a large-scale war just now."

"Although there was basically no loss of personnel in the war, the soldiers are now in a state of exhaustion due to the relatively high intensity of the war. More importantly, the materials in this battle, especially weapons and ammunition. The consumption is relatively serious, and it is not enough to sustain the next high-intensity war."

If you want to win in the war, if the number of people is not dominant, the firepower advantage is very important. Fortunately, when Lawrence and the others went to support the defense of Vieques, the war ended much earlier than everyone expected. Therefore, the ammunition on the island that had rushed to the island before was naturally left with a lot of ammunition.

Unlike weapons such as firearms and artillery, ammunition is extremely troublesome whether it is stored or transported. What's more terrible is that for a large industrial country like the White Eagle Federation, whether these ammunition is shipped back or hoarded locally is a powerful way to compensate. There is not much market for local sales.

As for private sales, it’s even more impossible. Let’s not mention that ammunition, a dangerous item, may cause serious problems if it goes out of control. Just in this battle, a group of church members supervised that they could secretly take a little ammunition and sell it, but it was absolutely useless to sell a large amount of ammunition in private.

Therefore, the governor of the island simply ordered the release of the warehouse under the acquiescence of the highest commander sent by the mainland, so that Lawrence could take as much ammunition as he wanted. In this way, they can report directly to the top that they have provided weapons to their friendly forces, which is considered a huge trouble.

For Lawrence and the others, there will be a series of pioneering activities on the island next. Therefore, necessary consumables like ammunition are naturally needed. Even if you can get a lot of cheap ammunition through the relationship of Lawrence, no matter how cheap it is, it is cheap but now this kind of ammunition that can be obtained for free with only a shipping fee is cheap.

So when Lawrence left Vieques before, he rented two slow-speed sailing boats to carry those ammunition. When Lawrence and the others prepared the ammunition, these ammunition also smoothly approached the port and was transported to the current war. The front line, and these new weapons played a decisive role in this battle.

But even so, the entire army consumed a huge amount of ammunition in a few hours of fighting. At least 70% to 80% of the ammunition they carried and the ammunition stored in the fortress in advance were consumed. In this case, they can only temporarily wait for the ammunition and other materials from the rear to be delivered in a defensive posture.

Not to mention that all the soldiers felt a little tired after experiencing this **** battle. Therefore, it is natural to take a little time for everyone to take a break to avoid continuous fighting that causes the soldiers to become too nervous, and even some losses that should not have occurred in the war behind.

"Understood, of course I understand this. Just a little too anxious just now." Lanhua immediately calmed down after listening to Lawrence's explanation. She naturally knew that the current state is indeed not suitable for continuous combat. "So do we have any specific plans next?"

"Of course there is ~www.ltnovel.com~ Lawrence said and waved his hand, Syfiel immediately took out a map and spread it out on the table with Nora. "Here is our preliminary plan. Before the outbreak of this war, Nora had repeatedly surveyed this meadow in the air and further detailed the plan we designed before. "

"As envisaged, we will rely on the river to set up a flexible line of defense. This line of defense will be composed of a few strong strongholds and patrols, used to block the small-scale infiltration of the goblins in the far distance of the meadow and for the large-scale attack of the goblins. The herdsmen on the grasslands provide valuable warnings—"

Lawrence pointed to a few small red dots on the map and explained his arrangement to Lanhua and Fatina. According to the plan, after a few days of rest in this area, Lawrence and the others would treat the goblins who suffered heavy losses in this war. The tribe surrendered all, and then established a territory belonging to a civilized race on the previously delineated grassland.

"Complementing the prairie territory is the expansion of this fortress. According to the plan, this fortress located in the alpine meadows and plains and hills will become our first city after going deep into the interior." Lawrence finally pointed out. Speaking of the location of the fortress on the map.

"Now, I hope everyone can brainstorm and find more economic sources for this future city. Not just rely on transportation nodes as the city's only economic source."
