Struggle in the Steam Age

After the two came out of the tent of the referee, they chatted and walked towards the battlefield courtyard.

But Lawrence didn't know from the puppet what the priesthood he planned to obtain until he returned to the field hospital. Because even the current Nora doesn't know which direction she will be in charge of.

"Because the authority I want to obtain combines a large number of things that have never appeared in this world, so I really don't know what will happen to those things after they come into contact with the rules of this world." In the connection of souls, Nora It seemed a little helpless to say.

"Of course, I can be sure that no matter what kind of power I gain, those powers are unprecedented compared with modern society."

Nora's choice is actually a very smart choice, after all, those powerful priesthoods have been obtained by the old gods. If you don't want to provoke a group of enemies for this matter, then choosing some priesthoods that are not valued or even blank is a very good direction.

For most people, a blank priesthood is equivalent to some weak priesthood. For them, they can only choose a weak priesthood, or become the gods of certain gods, or become enemies with the current gods who are occupying the position, and are ready to snatch this from the opponent's hand at any time.

But for Nora, this is not a problem at all. After all, the overall development level of this world is lower than that of the original world. So in her eyes, there are many undiscovered but very powerful authorities in this world. It's just that the only problem is not knowing what the knowledge of other worlds will look like in this world.

Of course, Nora didn't say anything about this when she was asked by the priests and the magistrates of the court. The other party did not ask about this aspect.

After all, for them, it is enough to ensure that the power that Nora wants to control does not conflict with the current power and the power controlled by the gods of the civilized races.

As for which aspect of power Nora will hold in the future, it is not important to them. Even for them, it would be better if Nora's authority conflicted with the authority of those wilderness races or evil gods than no conflict.

Because once Nora had a conflict with those evil gods, she would naturally find a way to find some gods who were related to her for help. For the gods of civilized races, a non-evil god who has the same enemy can naturally become their most steadfast ally.

It is also one of the important etiquettes for communication between gods without asking which aspect of authority an existence facing transformation will hold.

At least for the gods of the civilized camp, it is also a way to help those who are likely to become their companions in the future to cover up, so as to prevent them from being discovered by the enemy prematurely that they may hold power in the future. The rules are being followed.

In less than a week, Lawrence's army successfully broke through the center line of the Great Mountain Range and successfully joined forces with the army of the New Island Republic.

The reason why this war suddenly became so smooth is also very simple. After all, after the group of dark elves and gray dwarves failed in their desperate attack, basically all the wilderness races in this area suffered heavy losses, and even the gods were directly defeated. up.

In the event of a total defeat, the wilderness races that have completely lost their ability to resist can only choose to flee this dangerous area in order to preserve their race.

With no one to stop them, the legion of the civilized race naturally advanced very fast, and it took only a week to completely complete the goal of this civilization expedition: to open up a northern communication line across the great mountain range.

When the two sides join forces, the frontal war can be said to have come to an end. So except for some troops that must stay behind, most of the army began to prepare to retreat from the mountains.

Of course, Lawrence's current field hospital must be the last to retreat, because they need to recover the wounded to the extent that they can be transported long distances before they can evacuate.

However, due to the end of the large-scale frontal war, the number of various patients has also decreased rapidly, especially the critically ill patients are only one or two a day. So in this case, professionals like Lawrence and Nora naturally don't need to fight in the field hospital.

So first, the little puppet with only a head left took the referee's airship back to the Isle of Sauer to complete his upgrade work, and then Lawrence handed over various tasks to the vice president of the Isle of Sauer Hospital who came with the army, and then The half of the medical staff who had no work to do and most of the security personnel left on a meter-gauge train.

Unlike the previous meter tracks that were only laid in sections, it is naturally much easier to lay these tracks after completely eliminating the crazy interference of the wilderness race.

With the help of some steam puppets, these meter rails were laid at least 60% of the distance when the two sides worked together in just one week.

As for why everyone is still desperately laying this seemingly temporary product of meter rails after the end of the war, the reason is also very simple.

Because in the subsequent construction of this line of communication, a large amount of people and materials need to be transported. In this case, if there is a simple meter-gauge railway, it will be much easier and more convenient than other methods.

After leaving the Great Mountain Area with everyone and taking the train to Huguang City, Lawrence sent his subordinates to the fleet headed by the Enterprise and let them go back by boat.

As for himself, after all his subordinates left, he immediately took a carriage to the Golden Spring Hotel to meet Safir who had already arrived here yesterday.

After opening the door of his room and seeing Lawrence standing at the door, Safir hugged him happily, then brought him into the room and complained while pouring him tea.

"Huh, I'm glad you'd like to come with me to those places up north. Seriously, it sucks to be in an office all day with all sorts of things to do."

"Sorry!" Lawrence smiled sheepishly. "So you see, didn't I call you over this time to take a walk and relax together?"

"Well, you really have a heart this time." After hearing Lawrence's explanation, Safiel put the brewed tea on the table, then sat opposite him and said.

"Although I think it's possible that Nora reminded you of this point this time, but I'm still very happy after receiving the telegram."

"Uh——" After being said by Safir, Lawrence showed an embarrassed look on his face. Because the two of them were too familiar before, it was normal for Safiel to be able to guess what Lawrence was thinking.

Fortunately, because the two parties are very familiar, Safiel didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lawrence's approach, and she even felt that Lawrence was willing to take her around, which was already better than 90% of male nobles.

At least in this world, most of the human beings who are strong in marriage tend to ask their spouses to stay at home as much as possible.

Compared with those nobles who require their spouses to stay at home quietly and take care of the family situation, nobles like Lawrence who are willing to travel around with their wives after being reminded are completely worthy of the title from any point of view. It is the most enlightened group of nobles.

So Safir is still satisfied with Lawrence's current behavior from the bottom of his heart, and after looking at Safir's face to make sure that she is not talking ironically. Lawrence also relaxed and began to discuss the plan with her.

"When the time comes, we will go to the Great Lakes to take a look at the Sword Plain in the north, because our pastures, farms and factories are basically all concentrated in that place."
