Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 641

“That’s really great.” After learning that Lawrence was bringing reinforcements to rescue them this time, Viscount Surrey gave Lawrence a fiercely excited hug. Then shouted to the people sitting at the table.

“We better change our plan now, because this time we all have reinforcements.”

“What? Reinforcement, really!”

“I heard that there are reinforcements, where, where.”

“How many people are there, where are they, and what is probably the situation?”

As soon as Viscount Surrey’s words fell, everyone at the table stood up and directly gathered around, and at the same time they started to ask questions.

“Okay, okay, let me say the next thing, and you will ask after I finish talking.” After watching everyone rushing up in a mess to ask about reinforcements, Viscount Surrey pressed his hands down and made a gesture. Everyone gestured quietly, and then began to introduce the reason why Lawrence came this time.

After briefly introducing Lawrence who called for reinforcements after he discovered something was wrong yesterday, Lawrence began to introduce the scale and general situation of the reinforcements he brought this time.

When he finished the introduction, everyone returned to the table and started discussing the battle plan.

Because reinforcements joined the battlefield, all the old plans were naturally invalidated. Everyone immediately began to formulate a new combat plan based on the specific circumstances of the two hundred reinforcements.

But compared with the solemn atmosphere in the tent just now, the atmosphere in the room now seemed a lot more relaxed. After all, everyone now knows that Lawrence brought an entire regular army backed by some heavy firepower, and naturally the tension has been relieved.

“I have more than 260 people in my hand, of which more than 220 are sailors on warships. Although their combat level is a bit worse than that of the army, they are definitely far better than those who seem to come from a dozen thieves. The rabble.”

Standing on the main seat in front of the table, Lawrence began to introduce the reinforcements.

“In addition to these regular troops, security personnel from three adventurous groups and some factories accompany us. They add up to about 40 people.”

“These people may have an average level of cooperation in group operations, but are good at individual operations. Especially when regular troops help them attract the opponent’s main force, they can exert a great effect.”

“We have less manpower here, because considering that it’s only a few hours away from the city, we didn’t bring too many manpower.” Viscount Surrey said helplessly.

“At least all of us can mobilize only more than 50 flexible troops. If it is not for the local terrain, even we don’t think we can hold it.”

“More importantly, because I feel that this adventure is just a walk. Except for a few people, these security personnel basically carry pistols that are convenient to carry around and are also convenient for fighting in narrow areas. Only 1 /3 of the people brought long guns.”

“Okay, I know the situation now.” Lawrence nodded and said, and then took out a badge made of gold and enamel from his arms and said.

“Since the next battle is very important to us, it is definitely impossible for us to fight separately, so I hope that the next battle will be commanded by me.”

Lawrence passed the badge in her hand to Syfiel to show her to everyone on the court, and then said.

“I recommend myself to be a commander here, because I have previous experience in commanding army operations, and now this badge is issued to me by the White Eagle Federation because of the victory of commanding the army in the Star Sea region last time. “

After the Syfier tent simply walked around and showed the medal that the White Eagle Federation had previously issued to Lawrence, Lawrence obtained the highest command on the battlefield now.

This is because whether it is the number of troops invested in the battle, the combat experience, and Lawrence’s own transcendent level are the highest among everyone present, so from a combat perspective, he is indeed among everyone present. The best commander candidate.

On the other hand, Lawrence is also the person with the highest identity among all the people present.

After all, the Holy Visby Empire is considered to be the top power in the Old Continent. Therefore, from a secular perspective, the hereditary fiefs of this country are indeed more noble than most of the wealthy merchants or court nobles present.

“Well, since everyone now thinks I will be the highest commander on the battlefield. Then I will talk about my plan.”

After confirming the ownership of the command, Lawrence took out the surrounding sketches he had just drawn from the space bag, and then began to talk. “This is what we have observed before, and now the group of people are mainly concentrated in the following seven locations—”

In the next 20 minutes, everyone in the tent began to discuss various details about the battle. Although there were a lot of complicated situations, a consensus was reached in the end.

“——I think this is our next battle rules.” Lawrence put away the map on the table and said.

“I have allocated combat missions to everyone based on their level as much as possible, but there may be various accidents in actual combat. However, I hope that no matter what accidents they encounter, everyone present will be able to fulfill their duties. . Because this battle concerns everyone.”

“Understood.” Everyone present said at the same time, and then each started to act according to the plan. And just more than half an hour after they started to implement the plan, the eyeliners of the gangsters on the mountain finally discovered that the situation was not right.

“Hey, leaking mouth. Look what happened below.” A gangster holding a tattered binoculars and a spear on his back suddenly shook another gangster next to him.

“Why are the fat sheep in the valley all together?”

“Aren’t they gathering firewood just now? Maybe they were preparing for a bonfire party. You know, those rich and rich people like to play some games when they go out, and they are often content that we are usually tired of.”

“For example, catching certain wild beasts all over the mountains, or lighting a pile of firewood in the wild and grilling some food to eat.”

The corner of the mouth of the one who was napping seemed to have been chopped off with a knife, and his comrade woke up with an uncomfortable look on his face. Speaking at the same time.

“And when they are doing these things, they will naturally get together. Maybe you will see those guys dancing around the campfire later.”

“No, this is not the case.” The gangster who was reminded just now said with a nervous expression, “The group of people who were outside the valley is shrinking back into the valley~www.mtlnovel.com~ I don’t think that group of rich men will take Hold the bonfire banquet with the group of bodyguards.”

“Huh?” After being reminded like this, the gangster called the Leaky Mouth immediately grabbed the binoculars and carefully observed the situation in the valley. As a result, he saw that the bodyguards who had been guarding the outskirts began to stand up from their posts towards the valley. Go inside.

“Heh-I was deceived just now.” As an old bandit, Leaky Mouth quickly discovered the wrong place below. “It looks like our whereabouts have been exposed, so this group of people want to use the terrain to defend.”

At this time, the camp below has begun to complete the preliminary defense in accordance with Lawrence’s orders.

Everyone used the opportunity of pretending to hold a bonfire banquet to form a circle of carriages and a large amount of debris as a shelter, and then quietly mobilized their hands with the help of a series of shelters to construct a simple defensive line.

And gathering the group of security personnel on the periphery is the last step of the battle. After all, the illusion of the bonfire banquet can only confuse the observers on the periphery for a short period of time.

So after simply constructing the line of defense, Lawrence immediately directed everyone to remove the camouflage and enter a state of combat readiness.
