The dwarf Adolf and the group of engineers under his command have an important task following Lawrence and the others, which is to install and debug the hedgehog bomb and prepare for the war against the Sahua murloc. A total of 12 hedgehog launchers and more than 80% of hedgehog ammunition were placed in the cabin of their boat.

At the beginning, Lawrence hadn't thought of this, because he was planning to go to the judge's office to destroy the semi-undeaded island whale and its puppets. The hedgehog bomb is not very effective for those undead creatures in the deep sea, and the relatively small charge is obviously impossible to produce any lethality on the island whale that is several kilometers long.

However, Adolf the dwarf took the initiative to remind him that these weapons can be used in this battle. Fortunately, due to the progress of the project on the island, some hedgehog launchers were still installed on the ship and were not unloaded. So they simply rushed to the rescue with these weapons and the ammunition that was reloaded on the ship.

Because it is winter now, even if the surrounding temperature is not low, the wind and waves are much smaller. At least in Lawrence's view, it can be said to be calm. However, there are still many people on the ship who are seasick. Among them, humans and mice are in a better condition. There are only a dozen less than 20 people who are seasick. Seasickness is not severe. After a little adjustment, except for a few people, basically It's almost recovered.

However, the strongest tauren was unexpectedly vulnerable in this regard, and most of the tauren had more or less signs of seasickness. So that Lawrence could only arrange them as much as possible on the upper deck where it was convenient for ventilation and opened the cannon windows, hoping to ease them a little bit.

While on the boat, Lawrence maintained the frequency of contacting New Sauer Island three times a day, because he was a little worried that something would hit the island at this time. However, according to Mr. Lambert's call back, everything on the island was very normal. Although there were a few small groups of goblins who ran out to show their presence after discovering that the patrol team had been reduced, they were quickly wiped out by the remaining personnel.

Although he brought out a group of elite troops for the rescue operation, there is still a lot of force and a complete militia system on the island that can continue the previous defensive tasks with the repaired fortifications, let alone most of the priesthood. The personnel stayed on the island as an extraordinary defense force on the island, so the island can be said to be relatively safe. Lawrence worry is just a habitual worry.

After tossing all the way, they finally arrived at the destination, probably because they came relatively quickly, so the attack of the group of Sahua fish people has not yet begun. Even the reinforcements only came from a ship from the Xinchenghai colony of the Republic of Xinzhou and a small unit of 120 people.

The top consul on the island expressed great enthusiasm for Lawrence's arrival, because compared with other reinforcements, Lawrence and his army are more like their own troops because of Lawrence's own identity. Therefore, upon learning that many people in the reinforcements were severely seasick and needed to rest, a hotel in the port area was soon vacated on the island as their residence and they brought enough food and water to everyone.

In addition, the highest consul also issued an invitation to Lawrence, but this was politely declined by Lawrence. Because he thinks he has entered a state of war, as the supreme leader of the armed forces, he should stay with his soldiers.

"It's really embarrassing to let you take a boat so far and throw it into the battlefield like this." After listening to Lawrence's evangelism, the highest governor said gratefully, holding Lawrence's hand. "You are so grateful that you can extend a helping hand to us at this time, especially you have brought so many elite troops and weapons and equipment--"

Ten minutes later, Lawrence and a group of engineers came to a defensive point assigned to them: a peninsula extending into the ocean beside the port on the island. This location can be said to be very important for port defense. If it can be held The words here can at least reduce the pressure on the main positions in the port area.

Because of this situation, a number of fortifications have been built on this peninsula. For example, the small fort named Jade Point Fortress and a series of surrounding fortifications. However, because the scale of the previous attacks here was not very large, the entire fortification was also small in scale and very old in style.

Fortunately, those people on the island are more concerned about island defense, so Lawrence and the others found six latest style 76mm howitzers and a large amount of ammunition that can be used at any time in this fortress that can only hold about 100 people. In addition, there is a batch of bullets used by Lawrence and their current rifle.

And in the warehouse attached to this fortress, they also found a lot of labor construction tools, sharp wooden stakes processed into suitable sizes, and large and large rolls of well-maintained barbed wire. As long as the labor force is sufficient, they can build a batch of temporary fortifications around this fortress in a short time.

"I think this place should be expanded before the group of Sahua murlocs arrive." Lawrence said after checking the details of the fortification with Syfiel. "This fortress itself doesn't need much improvement, but besides that, we should build two more fortresses to ensure that we can organize a firepower net that can support each other to defend the entire peninsula."

Two new fortresses were built along the peninsula. They were built in the middle of the peninsula towards the open sea and at the connection with the island. In order to be able to repair these fortifications before the Sahua Murloc attacked in a week, Lawrence not only allowed all his subordinates to join the work together, even their extraordinary people also participated in the construction of the fortifications.

In fact, at the beginning, Lawrence and the others were still thinking about whether they could hire a batch of local labor to help, but after discussing with the person in charge on the island, they realized that although during this period of time due to the possible attack of the Sahua Murloc The various activities on the island have temporarily stopped, but this news also made the original idle laborers on the island where the original gathered basically tried their best to leave here by boat, so there is not much available for employment on the island. labor force.

On the other hand, there are now a large number of places on the island that need to build various fortifications to strengthen the overall defense of the island, and such work naturally requires a lot of labor. So even if Lawrence did their best, they only found less than 100 workers~lightnovelpub.net~ and most of them were the simplest manual workers.

Fortunately, Lawrence brought enough professionals this time. In addition, in the previous training, the army on New Sauer Island had all the soldiers trained in fortification construction according to Lawrence’s requirements, so they mastered the fortification construction in that group. Under the command of skilled professional officers, everyone successfully started the construction of this series of fortifications.

Since there is only a week or so before the Sahua Murloc attack, there must be no time to build a permanent stone fortification like the top of the peninsula. Fortunately, there are trees and a lot of soil on the island for Lawrence and the others. Besides, the geology of the peninsula is mainly land mixed with a little bit of rocks, so the difficulty of building fortifications is not high.

This is especially true after the tauren people recovered from seasickness, and these big men can support the labor force of three or five people. Therefore, under the scientific overall planning, the fortress is being built at a high speed at the same speed every day. In just five days, two other forts of the same size as the one at the top of the peninsula were built.
