Struggle in the Steam Age

After hearing the explosion, the wild races who were active in the surrounding area immediately gathered to check what happened here.

However, the Jackal Squad who had arrived ahead of time found nothing except a pile of its own corpses and some traces of explosions. Only the Harpy coming from behind saw something flying away in the air not far away.

Some of the harpies who arrived here first tried to chase Nora, but Nora easily shot the harpies down from the air with some silver-green light **** before they took themselves into the distance. .

After all, the load of these harpies is destined to be impossible for them to have adequate defenses while carrying weapons, and magic items are not something that everyone can have. That's why it was so vulnerable when facing Nora's magic attack.

And after these harpies chasing too close were shot down, the remaining harpies suddenly slowed down.

As a result, Nora led three survivors of the reconnaissance unit into Pine Valley under the long-distance **** of a dozen harpy, and then smoothly landed on the open space inside the Pine Valley Field Hospital.

"Quick, quick!" Because Nora had notified Lawrence of the seriously wounded through soul contact before, Lawrence sent an emergency medical team to wait here.

After the hanging basket fell to the ground, the medical teams rushed up and put the wounded on a stretcher, and then carried them into each tent for treatment.

"What happened over there?" In the tent where the minor injuries were handled, Major Louis and Lawrence, together with a group of officers, began to inquire about the low-level soldier.

"Why are those wild races desperately intercepting you this time? It is obvious that you can go out to those areas a few days ago."

"We actually don't know exactly what happened." The non-commissioned officer who was being bandaged by a medical staff told the officers.

"At the beginning of the operation, everything went smoothly. As usual, we successfully broke through the opponent's outermost mobile guard defense position. But when we continued to move forward, we accidentally discovered that the enemy's patrol team in front was getting denser."

"After realizing that the situation was a little different from usual, we immediately prepared to retreat according to the original plan, but what we didn't expect was that when we retreated halfway, we were suddenly chased by a group of wolves led by the dark elf."

"The group of beasts have very good noses. Even if we prepare something to avoid the enemy's detection, we can't hide our whereabouts. If we didn't find the cave later, we might not be able to support it."

"The other two reconnaissance teams’ encounters with the Scout Teams should be similar to them, but their luck is not as good as theirs." After this low-level transcendent sergeant told about the situation they encountered, Nora also reported. There is something about what I just discovered during the investigation.

"Near the place where the other two reconnaissance teams disappeared, I found some traces of fighting left on the trunk and the ground, and-and not much blood."

Having said this, Nora sighed helplessly. The other officers present also bowed their heads. Because they knew that they would be defeated when facing these wild races, especially the Jackals. The opponent will not only take away all the equipment on the body, but even eat the corpse.

So now, the traces of battle and the warheads owed on the tree or under the ground that Nora found were basically the last traces left by the brave scouts in the world. This is why after Nora finished speaking, everyone present was silent.

"It is now certain that those wilderness races are likely to launch a full-line attack on us when the sun disappears after sunset today."

As a frontline officer who has been working in the command center, Major Louis quickly judged the next step of the Wilderness Race based on his own experience.

Lawrence and Nora nodded their heads after hearing this judgment, because Nora had also found several traces of large-scale mobilization of wild races just now through the method of oblique investigation.

The most important thing is that the little puppet was able to rescue the survivors so smoothly just now, it is probably because the wilderness race has reached the final stage, so there is no need to continue to block the battlefield as before.

"The emergency telegram comes from the headquarters." At this moment, a young officer suddenly ran outside the tent and said, then he opened the curtain of the tent and walked in and handed the two telegrams to each other. Lawrence and Major Louis.

After receiving the telegram, Lawrence discovered that this telegram from the command headquarters was to inform every defensive point that the wilderness race had begun to attack some traffic lines, so all locations were required to enter a state of first-level combat readiness.

"It seems that it has already started." After reading the telegram, Major Louis and Lawrence paid a military salute to each other. Then they each started their own preparations.

Soon, several hand-cranked alarms in Pine Valley rang. Then the troops stationed there quickly began operations.

Just as Lawrence commanded the entire battlefield hospital to move in full swing, he suddenly heard a bang from outside the tent.

Then he saw through Nora's sight two steam puppets with white smoke coming in from the outside, each puppet was equipped with a steam machine gun and heavy mortar.

"What's going on?" After dealing with the things at hand, Lawrence went out to ask Lieutenant Colonel Chen, the highest commander of the combat engineer who was also stationed near the field hospital during the war as the general reserve. "Why are we assigned to two steam puppets here?"

"Because the field hospital is in the most central location of Pine Valley, if these steam puppets who are good at close-range high-speed shelling and our reserve teams are placed here, then we will be able to take the fastest time after the surrounding defense forces have problems. Speed ​​up those places." Lieutenant Colonel Chen explained.

"That's right." After being said by Lieutenant Colonel Chen, Lawrence immediately understood the layout here~www.ltnovel.com~ If we say that in the war within civilized races, it may be necessary to consider areas such as hospitals. Armed with such a code of engagement. So in the war with the wilderness race, both sides are going all out, leaving nothing behind.

Since the wilderness races in the war will not abide by the war principles of not attacking medical facilities in the war between civilized races, the civilized race will naturally choose to arm all the key areas including medical institutions in the war to ensure These core areas will not be damaged during the war.

Also because of this tendency towards full-scale war, Lawrence not only arranged various preparations for treatment, but also asked the officers of the subordinate guards to arm all the wounded who were able to move as a reserve team.

Fortunately, because Lawrence asked Nora to transport a large amount of extra weapons and ammunition before, there are now enough weapons to provide these temporarily armed wounded and sick.

"Because a group of cured people just returned to the team in the morning, we don't have many wounded here now." A Tauren lieutenant reported to Lawrence after finishing the organization inside the hospital: "There are wounded who can be armed. 172 people, and the rest are more than a hundred severely wounded who are temporarily unable to move."

"This is enough." After listening to the lieutenant's report, Lawrence nodded in satisfaction and said.

In his opinion, his field hospital is located in the center of Pine Valley Camp, so it should be considered the safest place in Pine Valley. In theory, no matter how fierce the battle is, it will not be affected.

As for Lawrence's preparation of weapons for the wounded, it was only out of a precautionary idea, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the fact that the number of people who could be armed was relatively small.
