One of the biggest advantages of mortars is that they can be fired behind the bunker, which is particularly advantageous when facing Sahua murlocs. Because the long-range attack weapons in the hands of the Sahuatans are not many, and basically all of them are direct fire. Therefore, the mortar can be placed in a safe place to pour firepower at the enemy most of the time.

For this reason, Lawrence directly placed the mortars he had brought with him behind the mountain range near the port, ready to provide fire support for the main battlefield at any time. At the same time, a semi-buried observatory was set up at the height of the mountain to be used for ballistic correction when the battle broke out.

Of course, in order to avoid the enemy coming around from behind. So Lawrence and the others also set up a line of defense on the back of the mountains. Only considering the main attack direction and the distribution of personnel, the defense area facing the port area is much smaller than the defense area facing the open sea.

However, the shrinking of the fortified area does not mean a decline in defensive capabilities. Because the line of defense here is closer to the top of the mountain, after the line of defense is reduced, they can defend more places with fewer people, but if they do, they are closer to the defense of the port area Naturally, the lethality will be insufficient on the surface. Fortunately, there is no need to consider too much about lethality. Therefore, such an arrangement should not be bad in the face of battle.

"These mortars can quickly move the design direction 180 degrees, so they can provide enough fire support during the battle." Lawrence pointed to the dual mortar units located in the small fortresses behind the hillside. "Moreover, we have measured and divided the various shooting areas, and crossfire can be formed at that time."

"Very good design. We want these savage meat-eating guys to appreciate the power of iron and fire." Saifier looked at the soldiers who were checking the mortars below with satisfaction and nodded, and then looked towards The direction of the beach. On the beach, some soldiers were under the command of the priests of the Agricultural Church. Some things were buried in the sand and the woodland behind the beach. Several people even took out some things from their carrying baskets and threw them into the sea.

"What are these priests doing, aren't they farming the land?" Saifeier looked at the busy priests of the Agricultural Church with some puzzlement. "If I remember correctly, all kinds of food on the island should be said to be sufficient, and our supplies are also sufficient, there is no need to produce food temporarily."

The priests of the agricultural church often give people a gentle and harmless feeling. At the same time, their best magic is also the magic to promote the growth of various crops. Therefore, when Safir saw the members of these agricultural churches doing something, his first reaction was that they might be planting some crops.

"Ha, your kind of careless character seems to have not changed." Lawrence smiled and patted Syfiel on the back, then pointed to the busy group of soldiers and priests and said, "Priests of the Agricultural Church It does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness. For example, they are now planting some defensive plants, such as poisonous, capable of entanglement or hard thorns. In this way, they can delay those plants as much as possible. Sahua people trying to climb ashore."

"Ah, it sounds like a good idea. After all, our current barbed wire is not enough to enclose all the places that we are blocking." Sai Fei raised his eyebrows and said. "But there is a small question. What if the population of the island still wants to use the peninsula after the war is over?"

"This should be solved well. In fact, the plants spawned by magic do not have the ability to reproduce, and they can survive for at most one month after being spawned by the magical arts, and then they will wither directly. So after the war is over, they will not reproduce. It will not bring permanent changes to this area."

"Ah, that's good." After hearing Lawrence's answer, Syfiel nodded contentedly. Just as he wanted to say something, a steam sailing team suddenly appeared in the distance towards the port with white smoke from the chimney. Drove over, "Why is there a fleet of ships entering the port at this time?"

It is normal for Safir to have such questions, because since three days ago, there have been basically no ships entering or leaving the port. Since the large-scale attack of the Sahua murlocs is about to begin, these monsters have become active and have begun to attack all the ships on the nearby sea. In the process, they will take everything on the ship and kill all the lives on the ship. And at the end. Destroying these ships will basically leave no survivors.

"Let me see-ha, the people of the White Eagle Federation have finally arrived." After seeing the flags on the ships, Lawrence distinguished the ownership of those ships. "Actually they should be the earliest group of people who set off, but They were the last batch to arrive because it was too far away from here."

As the mother state of this island, the White Eagle Federation naturally brought the strongest batch of reinforcements. For example, an elite force, a large number of weapons and ammunition and a lot of supplies related to transcendence, the most important thing is that their arrival greatly boosted morale. Let the guards on the island realize that they are not fighting alone.

However, their arrival also brought news to the island that made everyone nervous, that is, the Sahua murlocs have ended all preparations before the war have begun. This is the information that the transcendents on the ship tortured after they defeated three or four groups of small groups of Sahua murlocs on the road.

After receiving this information, the island officially entered a state of preparation. All non-combatants began to retreat away from the island’s coast, while the soldiers all entered their posts and were ready to fight. Lawrence could hear the sound of various weapon tests coming from the port area even on the peninsula.

Everything was normal for the first two days. At most, there were only a dozen to twenty small-scale assaults organized by Sahua murlocs on the shore. Because everyone was always vigilant, such assaults did not cause any loss. . Instead, let everyone take advantage of this opportunity to kill many of the extraordinary among the Sahua murlocs.

But at about 12:00 pm on the third day of the White Eagle Federation army entering the port area, Lawrence was snoring in bed, and was suddenly awakened by Nora's voice in his mind. "There are Sahua murlocs approaching us in the outer sea. I think it should be a large-scale attack by the enemy."

Because Nora is a puppet, she has given up sleeping habitually at night altogether these days. Instead, she flies out a long distance from the coast every day to detect possible movements of the enemy. Anyway, Sahua people. Her air defense capability is close to zero, so her actions are not too dangerous.

"How far is the group of Sahua murlocs from us now?" Lawrence asked the puppet through the soul connection as he rushed out in his clothes, "If possible, you'd better tell me the forward of the opposing force. Approximately how long will it take to reach the first line of defense set up on our island?"

"According to the current speed of Sahua Murloc~lightnovelpub.net~ I think the first collision between their striker and the island's defense line should be three hours later." After listening to Lawrence's question, Nara thought first. After a few seconds, he said in an affirmative tone, "The marching speed of the group of murlocs is relatively fixed, so there is generally not much deviation."

"Understood." Lawrence said to her immediately after hearing Nora say this. "Your mission can be over now, come back quickly, in case the sahuatan people find you in trouble."

"Don't worry, brother." Nora said, "Anyway, monitoring the movement of large groups of Sahua murlocs does not need to be too close, so you don't need to worry too much about my safety. Correspondingly, I conduct reconnaissance like this. It should be able to play a lot of roles."

"Okay, but I still want to say safety first." After hearing Nora's words, Lawrence exhorted again. "If something is wrong, protect yourself first."
