Struggle in the Steam Age

"Okay." The young roca murloc seemed to want to take advantage of this time to walk around here, and take a look at Lawrence and the others' preparations for this matter.

But after seeing Lawrence's warm invitation to them to rest for a while, they could only nod their heads, and followed Lawrence's soldiers and left the harbor for their pre-prepared place to rest.

"From a certain point of view, what the other party said is true, at least in their hearts, they should think so." When the group of loca fish were taken down, a priest from the Church of Dawn was not far away. came out of one of the buildings and said to Lawrence,

"But they have extremely weak divine powers. If I hadn't prepared for the situation in advance and borrowed the power of my lord to conduct targeted detection, it would basically not be detected."

"Sure enough, the other party's action is indeed a conspiracy." Lawrence frowned, and then asked the priest. "By the way, can you now see which aspect of the magic spell attached to that Loka murloc is? This is very important for our next actions."

"Sorry, Your Excellency. I can't do such a detailed investigation for the time being." The priest of Dawn Church showed an embarrassed expression on his face. "Because now I can only analyze the little power leaked from the other party. If I take the initiative to investigate the power on him, those who release these magic spells are likely to find my actions."

"So that's the case—you don't have to blame yourself, I can understand that." Seeing the embarrassed expression on the priest's face, Lawrence Lick comforted him. "For us, the information you have found is enough. At least we can confirm that the Loka fish people will definitely not come to us just to avoid the war as they said before."

Obviously, if it was a normal loca murloc who wanted to run to escape, he would never have that kind of weird magic on him. And this discovery is enough to prove that the information intercepted by Lawrence and Nora before is true, and the sahuagin may indeed mix in this group of loca murlocs to launch a surprise attack.

After all, although the terrain of this harbor is easy to defend and difficult to attack, from another perspective, as long as the sahuayu who attack one side capture this area in this raid, they can bypass a series of fortifications and guards set up by humans by the sea. They rushed straight into the urban area from the side and rear of the city to plunder.

Anyway, for the sahuayu people, their main purpose of attacking here is to kill and rob. There is no need to consider staying on the shore for a long time, so naturally there is no need to pay too much attention to rear defense. So taking this opportunity to launch a surprise attack to send a large number of troops ashore is indeed a very good tactic for them.

This is why Lawrence thought of a way to temporarily put the locathermen who went ashore under house arrest, because he didn't want these locathermen to see the series of fortifications that they had arranged around this harbor and the fact that they had been arrested under various pretexts. The elite troops secretly mobilized will cause unnecessary losses in the next operation.

In the next few hours, Lawrence and the others quietly waited for the attack launched by the sahuagin. Sure enough, around 2:00 in the morning, a large group of sahuagin and rocagin launched a large-scale attack on the land again under the cover of many sea monsters.

"There are a large number of sahuagin and their servants attacking on the front of each position." A signal soldier in a blue uniform held up the code that had just been decoded in his hand and shouted. "Right now, we can see about 20 war behemoths and 5-7 silver-level superhumans among the sahuagin from the coastline. Our heavy firepower and superhumans are now ready to fight."

"Understood, continue to monitor all telegrams." Lawrence, the local supreme commander, said, "Especially those information about the specific number and movements of the incoming enemy troops must not be missed. In the case of multiple intelligences appearing at the same time, This type of telegram has the highest priority."

After speaking, Lawrence walked to a large sand table. At this time, several young staff officers had already moved a batch of signs on the map according to the content of the telegram just now.

This place was previously used by the resort to store food and wine cellars, and since Lawrence and the others determined that the sahuagin might launch a raid, it had been transformed into a temporary command center. By receiving those radio signals on the island, they can accurately judge the situation on the battlefield.

"The other party should be attacking in an all-round way, but from a certain point of view it looks more like harassment." A staff officer of the defense force on Sauer Island said after looking at the form on the sand table, "According to the description in the telegram, This time the sahuagin team is very divided, and at the same time the giant war monsters are all concentrated and wandering outside the range of most of our artillery. Therefore, the opponent does not seem to want to launch an attack."

The physiological structure of the sahuayu people determines that it is impossible for them to maneuver long distances on land, so if they want to achieve their purpose of robbery, they have no other way than to attack those populated areas head-on.

However, as the only island of the White Eagle Federation in the Sea of ​​Stars, the city of Vieques Island has built a group of very strong military fortifications on the side of the sea for hundreds of years. If these fortifications are not destroyed, the sahuayu people will There was no way to go ashore at all.

Therefore, for the sahuayu people, there is only one way for them to make a large-scale landing. That is to use the power of extraordinary people and war monsters to clear a path in the defense line in the shortest possible time, and then let the large troops break through the defense line despite the damage. So if their war monsters refused to dock, then this kind of attack was just some harassment.

With the continuous receipt of new telegrams, the specific situation of the sahuayu people's attack was gradually outlined on the sand table.

As they judged before, this attack was indeed nothing more than harassment. Except for a small number of sahuagin extraordinary who led the elite troops to launch a short assault on the shore, the two sides mainly relied on long-range weapons. There were only sporadic firefights, and for an entire hour, the death toll on the human side hadn't reached triple digits.

Watching the time slowly approaching 3:00 in the morning, Lawrence led an elite troop and the group of Loca murlocs just now into the temporary firepower point on the two cliffs of the bay. Not long after they took their positions, Huafin, the leader of the Loka murlocs sent this time, said excitedly to Lawrence: "My compatriots are coming soon, please prepare to receive them."

"No problem." Lawrence nodded, and then directed the soldiers on a fort to adjust the angle of the artillery to shoot at the sea. At the same time, several extraordinary people also followed an extremely narrow road to a small platform at the entrance of the harbor and prepared for battle.

At this time, the unique screams of a large group of murlocs and the sound of paddling water came from the direction of the sea, even suppressing the sound of the waves for a while. Then they saw dense and smooth backs and fins out of the water and swimming towards this bay at a very high speed.

Because the eyes have been strengthened. So Lawrence could clearly see that the guys in the water were actually divided into two groups. Among them, the group in front seemed to be in a messy formation, and they just rushed in this direction in a swarm. And the group behind them lined up neatly and quickly approached the group in front.

Fortunately, the group of people in the front returned to chaos, but because the organizational structure was not completely chaotic, they did not completely disintegrate. Therefore, from time to time, a group of troops will be separated from the brigade to stop the pursuers who are getting closer and closer.
