Struggle in the Steam Age

"It seems that our plan has succeeded, and that group of people has begun to gather everyone and put them on our front." Lawrence showed a smile on his face.

. Although his firepower is obviously suppressed by the opponent's precise shooter, this also represents the success of his previous plan to gather the enemy.

Those gangsters have indeed lost contact with their leader Flame Axe, so only the rigid action according to the original plan is left.

The enemy in this situation is the best for Lawrence. After all, the biggest problem with these gangsters for Lawrence is that they are a mob in themselves, and they can easily run everywhere after being frustrated. But the gathering now facilitates Lawrence's next move.

"When will our reinforcements arrive?" Just as Lawrence was thinking about his plan, Viscount Surrey ran to the back of Lawrence and asked nervously.

"Ordinary people on our side have been beaten by those precision shooters and basically can't fight back, so I am worried that this battle line may soon be unable to defend."

"Don't worry, the reinforcements will be here soon." Lawrence patted Viscount Surrey on the shoulder and comforted him, because the phantom of the Fire Venom that he had arranged around had already seen Bach with two other teams of extraordinary adventurers and one more than thirty The elite marines platooned to a place only a few hundred meters from Taniguchi.

Because I realized that this mountain road is really difficult to walk, it can't be reached in a short time. Therefore, in order to achieve the tactical purpose, Bach decisively took the elite forward and prepared to complete the interception task according to the plan.

The large forces were left behind to advance with fanfare to confuse the enemy. At the same time, they used mortars to continuously fire at areas with a high density of thieves in order to suppress the thieves and reduce the pressure on the Taniguchi area.

Obviously, this two-pronged tactic really confuses the group of thieves who have been completely blushed by the valley problem.

Especially after retracting all the peripheral observation posts and throwing them into the attack on Taniguchi, Bach and the others easily passed through the forest and circled behind the group of attackers.

"Okay, now you can fire the flare." After killing a few precision shooters hiding in the distance with his rifle, Lawrence took a look at the paper man who was constantly shaking out of his arms, and then faced the person behind him. Said Safir. "understand."

Safir nodded, took out a metal cylinder from the pocket of his robe and unscrewed the lower lid to aim at the sky. Then he put his finger in, hooked a pull ring and violently pulled it down.

"Boom—pop!" A signal flare with a screaming sound flew from above the metal cylinder, and then exploded into a red spark at a height of five or six stories.

For an instant, the sound of shooting on the battlefield seemed to pause. All of them subconsciously raised their heads to look at the spark that exploded suddenly.

"Damn it—it's in the calculation." After seeing the flare that exploded in mid-air, the yellow swordsman immediately found that the situation was not right, and then connected everything just now and got a correct conclusion.

But I have to say that it was too late for him to conclude at this time. Because the elite force led by Bach has successfully built a simple defensive position in the forest and completely blocked the retreat of this group of bandits.

It is not accurate to say that a complete blockade is actually true. After all, there are roads everywhere in the surrounding mountains and forests. If they are scattered and fleeing, some people can still escape.

But in this way, the band of thieves would naturally disperse. No one can count on that group of thieves who have completely herded the sheep can be rebuilt. And this is equivalent to completely delisting these thieves who came to besiege.

"We... what should we do now?" After realizing that the back road was broken, a few thieves quickly ran to the yellow swordsman and asked.

"——Charge immediately! Everyone followed me into the valley." After a second pause, the swordsman immediately drew out his weapon and shouted.

"It's too late to run now. If we go out, the opponent's firepower will kill most of us."

"So for us, there is only one way to survive right now, and that is to enter the valley at any cost and take hostages, so that we can negotiate with these guys who ambush us and leave here safely."

"Understood—" This command was quickly recognized by the mob. After all, after listening to such an explanation, even selfish thieves would realize that only desperately can get that ray of life.

Soon, all the thieves on the periphery gathered together, and then the thieves who were attacking Lawrence and their line flocked to the second line of defense.

Although the flying bullets, explosives, and the spells that Lawrence used to defeat many of them, more people still howled, straddling the bodies of their accomplices and rushing forward.

"Just hold on." Looking at the thieves who were madly rushing to the defense, Lawrence said to Syfiel beside him while shooting magic missiles and pistols from left to right. "Now this shows that the opponent is desperate. As long as we block this wave, we can win the final victory."

"But I'm worried that we can't hold on. After all, there are too many people on the other side." After firing a bullet with a rifle, Syfiel, who was hiding behind the bunker to change the bullet, turned to Lawrence and said, "Although there are more extraordinary people on our side. Some, but everyone's transcendent level is not very high, so there is not much advantage now."

"You're right." Looking at the guards who were collectively suppressed to the back of the bunker, Lawrence reluctantly pushed his body out of the bunker and hit a bullet nest, and then reloaded and said to Syfiel.

"So I naturally made some preparations for this situation, but the prerequisite is that their attack momentum must be defeated before implementation."

Fortunately, the current situation is not as simple as imagined for the thieves, because although they can use raindrop bullets and a small amount of magic to suppress the guards, they still have to take hostages to get out of the predicament.

But if you want to take the hostages, the band of thieves must rush into the valley before the guards' reinforcements can suppress them, but this kind of close hand-to-hand combat is not good for the band.

And just as the first group of thieves braved the magic and bullets issued by the guards to rush into the front line, the guards' counterattack came as expected. In addition to some selected transcendents, a large group of monster ghosts summoned by Lawrence also joined the battle.

In this case, the entire line of defense immediately turned into a meat grinder. A large number of thieves who rushed into the line of defense were easily killed by these extraordinary forces~www.ltnovel.com~, and the blood flowing from the wounds of the dead and wounded gathered into small puddles on the uneven ground.

"It's now." After watching the first group of thieves who rushed to the line of defense were strangled to death, the faces of the second group of thieves who followed showed fear. Lawrence immediately yelled at Syfiel who was standing behind.

"Understood." After receiving the order, Syfiel shouted loudly in the same tone, and then suddenly unfolded the banner in his hand.

In an instant, a blood-colored flag appeared behind the defensive line under the strong wave of Syfiel.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a flag at all, but a cloak hung on a hunting spear. On the spearhead of the hunting spear, what was considered an ornament was a head dripping with blood at the neck.

"The boss is dead--" A stern shout rang from the attacking thieves, and the thieves team that had just rushed to the defense line collapsed in an instant.

"Now-it's time for us to fight back. Charge!" Lawrence was the first to rush out of the battle line with a weapon, and then the others followed him to counterattack the attacking thieves.
