After explaining some things to Knight Joseph, Lawrence walked down the city wall out of the camp and began to check the placement of the steam machine guns and clockwork power machine guns that were finally shipped from the Republic of New China. Unlike the traditional frontal layout in this world, Lawrence asked the soldiers to place machine guns in the fortifications on the side of the position.

"What's the situation?" Just when Lawrence had just emerged from a bunker, he happened to see Nora flying over like herself, so he asked loudly.

"I killed thirty or forty goblins just now." After Nara flew closer, she adjusted her direction and floated in front of Lawrence and said, "but there is still a steady stream of goblins infiltrating from behind the bushy hills, giving me a feeling. They want to use enough lives to investigate our situation."

"This is normal." Lawrence said to Nora as he walked towards the underground fortification where Syfiel was located: "Goblins are not us humans. It is a normal thing for them to exchange life for information. I think the opponent has dropped more than 1,500 corpses in front of our position in the past two days, but it has also roughly figured out our situation."

"It's exactly what you want them to know." Nora said with a smile. "At least for the past few days, we have just used rifle fire to drive or kill the group of goblins who came to our position. But it didn't expose any of our heavy firepower except the few guns on the ship."

"But goblins with spellcasters are not fools." Lawrence shook his head and said, "They certainly won't believe that we only have so little firepower, so it's more difficult to fight. Because we want to expose a part of the firepower to win the trust of the other party. They know that we have so much firepower, but they also cannot expose all the firepower to scare them away."

"Indeed, this degree is difficult to grasp." There was a tangled look on Nora's small face. "If we don't use heavy firepower, on the one hand, we may not be able to hold on, on the other hand, it will make the other party feel suspicious and retreat. If we use heavy firepower, it will also scare these goblins away. This degree is indeed very difficult to grasp."

While they were talking, the two had already reached a single hidden part dug on the edge of the trench. Then he saw that Safir was carefully inspecting the condition of the hidden part and the road between the hidden part and the front trench. And fully armed with weapons to run along this section of the road.

As an extraordinary person who is not good at military and does not need to command, Syfiel volunteered to assume the position of commando captain. The task is to lead the elite troops to drive the goblins out when the goblins enter the trenches. And she is now using the means of on-the-spot inspections to formulate reinforcement routes after various places are attacked.

"Lawrence, Nora, you are here." At this time, Syfiel also saw Lawrence and the others coming by and greeted them, and at the same time, he flicked the strand of hair that fell in front of him.

"Yes, let's take a look at the specific situation. After all, based on the situation of the investigation, the enemy is likely to come tomorrow." As he said, Lawrence showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry to let you participate in this war as soon as you are finished. In fact, you can go to the camp to rest. It is not necessary—"

"Don't say that." Saifei interrupted Lawrence with a smile. "This is a war of our own. Everyone needs to contribute to this, and I am no exception. But since I am not as good as you, I can command the whole situation, and I am not as good as Fatina who can command the rat people. Even worse. The ordinary Dr. Liszt built a makeshift hospital. After thinking and thinking about it, the job of being a storm captain is suitable for me."

"--Thank you." Lawrence. At this time, I don't know what to say, so I can only express my inner feelings with some empty thanks. At this time, Syfiel padded his foot and kissed Lawrence's cheek, and then whispered in his ear. "There is no need to say thank you between us."

Lawrence's cheeks suddenly turned red like sunset, after the two people looked at each other for a while, in order to get rid of the current embarrassment. Lawrence forcibly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, is there anything else you need to help?"

"Not for the time being. I have to say that your arrangements for this period of time are very reasonable. I think everyone's morale is very high." As Saifeier, who has been staying with ordinary soldiers in the trenches for the past few days, she told the grassroots soldiers. The specific situation is quite understood. "Moreover, the mouse people as commandos can be called elites in their fighting will and in battle, especially when paired with the batch of shotguns you got from the Republic of New China."

"If so, that's fine." Lawrence smiled and nodded, then said: "Today I will stay with you in the hidden department on guard. Because I don't know when the war will break out, I'm closer to the front. It’s always a good thing."

"Living in the hidden department? Who will command the army now?" After hearing what Lawrence said, Syfiel's mouth was raised slightly, but soon his face became calm and he asked a question. After all, according to tradition, Lawrence is the supreme commander, and as the supreme commander staying in the trenches always makes people feel something is wrong.

"I have previously given the power of commanding the army to Knight Joseph. After all, he is the only professional soldier here, and he is more effective in this situation. For this war, I think amateurs like me are still It is more appropriate to complete some tactical work on the front line and boost morale."

Lawrence shrugged after speaking. He was quite self-aware in this regard, knowing that he was not good at commanding the army against the enemy after the battle broke out. After all, he learned all the knowledge about military affairs when he was a keyboard military expert. It is okay to talk about military affairs on paper, but it doesn't matter if it really comes.

For the rest of the day, Lawrence stayed in the trenches on the front line to sympathize with the soldiers and boost morale. What was a little unexpected to him was that wherever he went, the guards and temporarily recruited militiamen raised their weapons and cheered. There is no tension in the face of war that Lawrence feared.

After Lawrence inspected the situation and told Syfiel about this doubt, Syfiel, who had been staying with these grass-roots soldiers on the front line these days, showed a clear smile. Then help him analyze the reasons why everyone's morale is so high.

“It’s normal for everyone’s morale to be so high~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, not many nobles were willing to stay on the front line of the war with the soldiers. Besides, you designed and directed this series of fortifications. Although everyone does not understand the mystery, it gives people a very safe feeling—"

The summary of these contents is that although Lawrence himself does not have that kind of consciousness, for ordinary people, a senior aristocrat who is an earl is willing to stand on the forefront of the war with them than any mobilization speech can inspire everyone's morale.

In addition, the soldiers of the Guards felt extremely honored for being able to fight alongside the Lord, and the militiamen felt that it was very worthwhile to sacrifice their lives for a Lord like him because of Lawrence's treatment of them these days. Therefore, the overall morale of everyone can be said to be very high now.

"And as far as I know, the guards of Earls Court itself have experienced wars, so they are naturally not afraid. And these militiamen have seen too many goblins, so they won't collapse directly in the next battle. So I think we just have to keep it. If you are cautious now, this war should be able to achieve a beautiful victory."

"It would be great if this is the case." Lawrence nodded in satisfaction. He has done everything he can do now, and then we need to see what happens in the face of real war.
