Struggle in the Steam Age

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

. Although it is obvious that one's own firepower is now suppressed by the opponent's precise shooter, this also represents from the side that his previous plan to gather the enemy has succeeded.

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

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

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

"Ordinary people on our side have been beaten by the group of precision shooters and are basically unable to fight back, so I worry that this front may soon be untenable."

"Don't worry, the reinforcements will be here soon." Lawrence patted the shoulder of Viscount Surrey and comforted him, because the phantom of the fire poisonous bee he had placed around before had seen Bach leading two other superhuman adventure teams and a thirty-something The platoon of the elite marines moved to a place only a few hundred meters away from Taniguchi.

Because I realized that this mountain road is really difficult to walk, and it is not something that large troops can arrive in a short time. Therefore, in order to achieve the tactical goal, Bach made a decisive decision and led the elite forward, preparing to complete the interception task according to the plan.

The large troops were left behind with great fanfare to confuse the enemy. At the same time, they used mortars to continuously shoot 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 did confuse the group of members of the bandit group who were already completely red-eyed because of the problem in the valley.

Especially after retracting all the outer observation posts and investing in the attack on Taniguchi, Bach and the others easily passed through the forest and circled behind the group of attackers.

"Okay, now we can fire the signal flare." After killing several precision shooters hiding in the distance with the rifle in his hand, Lawrence took a look and took out a paper man that was shaking constantly from his arms, and then pointed at the people behind him. Said by Safir. "clear."

Safiel nodded, took out a metal cylinder from the pocket of his robe, unscrewed the lower cover and aimed it at the sky. Then he put his finger in and hooked a ring and pulled it down violently.

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

For a moment, the sound of shooting on the battlefield seemed to have stopped. Everyone subconsciously looked up at the spark that exploded suddenly.

"Damn—it was tricked." After seeing the flare that exploded in mid-air, the swordsman in yellow immediately realized that something was wrong, and then connected all the things just now and came to a correct conclusion.

But it has to be said that it was too late for him to come to a conclusion at this time. Because the elite troops led by Bach have successfully built a simple defensive position in the forest and completely blocked the retreat of the bandits.

It is actually not accurate to say that it is completely blocked. After all, it can be said that there are roads everywhere in the surrounding mountains and forests. If they disperse and flee, some people can escape.

But in this way, those thieves will naturally disperse. No one can expect that the group of thieves who have completely herded their sheep can be reunited. And this is equivalent to completely removing the names of these bandits who came to besiege.

"What... what should we do now?" Realizing that the way back was cut off, several thieves quickly ran to the yellow-clothed swordsman and asked.

"—Charge immediately! Everyone follow 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 enemy's firepower will kill most of us."

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

"Understood—" This order was quickly recognized by the mob. After all, after listening to such an explanation, even the most selfish thief will realize that the only way to survive is to work hard.

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

Although the flying bullets, explosives, and Lawrence's spells knocked down many of them, more people still howled and rushed forward over the corpses of their accomplices.

"Just hold on." Seeing the crazy thieves rushing towards the line of defense, Lawrence fired magic missiles and pistols from left to right, and said to Safiel beside him. "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 won't be able to hold on, after all, there are too many people on the other side." Saifeier, who hid behind the bunker to change bullets after firing a bullet with a rifle, turned his head and said to Lawrence, "Although there are more extraordinary people on our side Some, but everyone's extraordinary level is not very high, so there is not much advantage now."

"You're right." Looking at the guards who were suppressed behind the bunker collectively, Lawrence leaned out of the bunker helplessly and finished firing a bullet nest, and then said to Safir while reloading.

"So I naturally made some preparations for this situation, but the prerequisite is that their attack momentum must be suppressed before they can be implemented."

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

But if they want to take hostages, the bandit group's men must rush into the valley before the defenders' reinforcements overwhelm them, but this kind of close hand-to-hand combat is not good for the bandit group at all.

And just when the first batch of thieves rushed into the front line with the magic and bullets from the defenders, the defenders' counterattack also arrived as expected. In addition to some selected transcendents, a large group of monster phantoms summoned by Lawrence also joined the battle.

In this case, the entire defense line 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, and the blood flowing from the wounds of the dead and wounded pooled into small puddles one after another on the uneven ground.

"It's now." After watching the first batch of thieves rushing to the line of defense were strangled to death, and the faces of the second batch of thieves who followed showed fear. Lawrence immediately shouted to Safir who was standing behind.

"Understood." After receiving the order, Safiel shouted in the same tone, and then spread out the flag in his hand.

In an instant, a bloody flag appeared behind the line of defense under Safir's vigorous waving.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a banner at all, but a cloak hung on a hunting spear. What was thought to be an ornament on the tip of the hunting spear was a head dripping with blood from the broken neck.

"Boss is dead—" a shrill cry rang out from the attacking thieves, and then the thieves team that was still aggressively rushing towards the line of defense just now collapsed in an instant.

"Now—it's time for us to fight back. Go!" Lawrence was the first to rush out of the battle line, waving his weapon, and then the others followed him and launched a counterattack towards the attacking thieves.
