Struggle in the Steam Age

Because of the import of food and the field hospitals who are constantly treating patients, Lawrence has also gained a lot of people's hearts in Pine Valley.

At the same time, because he is a regular military officer rather than a medical officer, Lawrence has also heard a lot of news when he was eating together with the senior officers in the corner of the officer's public cafeteria these days.

Part of this is good news. For example, a group of elite deer troops have just entered the war zone from the Great Lakes in the north. These creatures with upper body parts and deer bodies are very good at fighting in this rugged mountainous area.

In particular, although they run with four hooves, they are better at fighting in this terrain than those mountain infantry selected from humans.

What's more special is that the proportion of transcendents among them is much higher than that of humans, so they can even defeat the elite squads dominated by dark elves in squad battles with various powerful weapons.

In addition, those half-goat tribes scattered around the great mountain range also selected a group of elite hunters to actively participate in this war.

Among them are the reasons why tribes under the White Eagle Federation responded to the federal conscription, but the most important thing is that they, as local natives, are fed up with the bullying of the wild races in the mountains, so they very much hope to contribute to this war. The power cleans out those guys.

After all, they live in the same area as the wilderness race. If the civilized race army can smoothly open up the communication lines in the region this time, for these half-sheep people, just eliminating the wilderness race will make them less suffer. Many bullies, let alone an important line of communication can bring a lot of benefits to them living around.

However, considering the low organization of this group of tribal hunters and their not-so-strong combat effectiveness, the headquarters simply broke up this group of people and distributed them to various units.

After all, although these people say that they have a little bit of fighting power, they at least have a good understanding of the situation in the area, so if they lead the way, they should be able to avoid many traps when they go deep into the mountains.

Reinforcements such as deer people or half-goat people are not small at this time. In addition to these small races, there are also some special forces that have gradually gathered on the battlefield from other places.

For example, an armored unit composed of 300 steam puppets was dispatched to this battlefield after completing feint missions in other areas.

However, Lawrence is not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of this armored unit. Although these steam puppets with a large number of extraordinary technologies are not low in combat effectiveness, considering the terrain of the region, Lawrence does not think these big guys can be in this narrow mountain area. How much combat power has been exerted.

Compared with these steam puppet troops, which are destined to only serve as mobile firepower points at various points, Lawrence feels that the Griffin Legion and Pegasus Legion that are transferred later are the most needed here.

Unlike the situation where various new weapons of the army and navy gradually replace most of the extraordinary forces, air operations are still inseparable from all kinds of extraordinary forces.

Because the airships that are technological products are a bit too fragile, even with the assistance of extraordinary powers, these airships can only protect themselves in the air, and sometimes they choose to escape or fall when the enemy’s air power is too strong. Return to the ground to avoid fighting.

For example, in the past period of time, Lawrence and the others in the Pine Valley area have repeatedly launched anti-aircraft fire cover to transport materials or personnel to land.

If it hadn't been for a part of the high-level transcendents led by Nora to cooperate with the ground defense forces to set up traps and wipe out several groups of vampire bats and harpies, now they could not even guarantee the safety of these traffic lines and traffic nodes in the rear.

But even so, the civilized race lacking air power only regained the air supremacy in the very narrow surrounding airspace in the areas it currently occupied.

The arrival of the Griffin Legion and the Pegasus Legion completely reversed the decline of the civilized race in the air battle. Only two days after the arrival of these air forces, Lawrence could not find the existence of those wilderness race air forces in the sky of Pine Valley.

You must know that in the previous period, even amateurs like Nora would wipe out the double-digit wilderness air force that plunged into the sky above Pine Valley every day.

In the early years, the human civilization race air force and that group of wilderness race air forces fought in air battles.

The flying beasts and harpies of the wilderness race have advantages in speed and flexibility in air combat, while the advantages of the various flying beast knights of the civilized race are that they can fly higher and farther and have faster climbs. Speed ​​also has a greater load capacity.

Throughout the era of cold weapons, the air forces of both sides have always been half-hearted, and the victory is mainly determined by the tactics and numbers of both sides.

However, as the civilized race entered the Industrial Revolution, the individual combat power of the civilized race's army rose linearly. The advantage of air combat has also shifted to civilized races.

After all, compared with those cold weapons driven mainly by muscle power, gunpowder weapons driven by chemical energy naturally have stronger lethality. And under the same load capacity, the number of bullets that can be carried far exceeds that of traditional ammunition such as javelins and arrows.

Especially after entering the era of hot weapons, the intelligent race has also formulated new tactics, and even summed up the energy mobile air combat theory similar to Lawrence's previous air combat in order to cooperate with the use of these hot weapons. In this case, civilized races can easily defeat the air forces of those wild races.

However, even with repeated battles and victories, the air force of the civilized race is just a guard over the sky above its own position and nearby territories. Because they tried to expand the scope of their operations, they were shot down by a few high-level transcendents from the wilderness race who did not know where they came from. In the end, they finally relied on the Transcendent team to **** the remains of the wounded and victims. .

But this also confirmed one thing again from the side. That is, these wild races did not choose to leave this place to escape the joint attack of the civilized races, as everyone had guessed, but prepared a counterattack that would use all their strength. That's why they will stop the power of the wise race from investigating them at any cost.

At least some of the wounded in the Air Force who came to the field hospital for treatment were always reminding him that a large-scale war would break out in one week to half a month while chatting with Lawrence.

As flying troops, these army members have always been regarded as the elite of the elite. So naturally there are enough extraordinary medical resources.

However, compared with directly receiving extraordinary treatment ~www.ltnovel.com~ receiving some conventional treatment before receiving extraordinary treatment can effectively save various resources and benefit the recovery of the wounded.

For example, patients with severe trauma only need to drink a small amount of treatment potion or receive one or two simple extraordinary treatments after undergoing debridement and suture operations.

But if they rely solely on extraordinary powers for healing, then they would need to consume 5-10 times as much extraordinary resources to achieve the same effect.

This is why Lawrence's field hospital has many extraordinary people besides ordinary people.

Unlike the ordinary wounded, the wounded who received extraordinary treatment often did not need to be hospitalized, but returned to their respective combat troops directly after the extraordinary treatment.

"The patrols of the surrounding wilderness races have been greatly strengthened in the past two days, even if it is difficult for me to penetrate too far behind the enemy without disturbing anyone."

After performing operations on several wounded in the Air Force, the doll walked out of the tent and told Lawrence. "These Air Force soldiers are right. The wilderness races are going to start a war these days."
