At the hall master's meeting, most of the people's opinions were to take advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer the town of Montenegro and the crossroads fortress in one fell swoop, and completely liberate Montenegro County and even the entire northern foothills of Sentinel Ridge.

But Skar was preoccupied and spoke his mind;

First of all, he believes that Black Mountain is the most important town in the northeast of the western region, with a large population, a developed magic processing industry, and sufficient materials; The Crossroads Barracks is also known as a fortified fortress that has stood since the time of the Orc Wars. Moreover, the core of the kingdom's local states and counties has always been in the towns, and the guards and regular legions still have a fairly strong military force. This will be a large-scale battle for towns that our side has never faced since raising the banner of rebellion. The Harvest Golem is very effective in plains field combat, but is not a siege weapon.

In addition, the support of the official army has not been cut off, and the Vyshak knight leaders in the north can still receive reinforcements and supplies, and the Sentinel Ridge garrison in the south may also run long distances to flank the rebels. At present, the conditions are not yet in place, and a better strategy is to continue to move to neighboring townships and counties, mobilize and organize the victims, and strengthen the existing forces.

Secondly, with the recent successive capture of market towns and government warehouses, a suspicious problem was discovered: the materials that the Black Mountain County Government had previously expropriated and extorted, as well as the strong men forcibly requisitioned by the Corps, were not transported south to the Sentinel Ling Prefecture as usual, and then transported to the north through the port of the Gold Coast by sea, and the quantity was very large.

Because the Westspring Bridge has long been blocked, it is unlikely that these supplies and personnel will be transported to Stormwind City by land in the distant land route of Alwyn State, and many of them have not been transported for long distances, but have been mothballed on the spot. In particular, the source ore magic powder stored in it is simply enough to fight a large-scale regular army war. This is also the reason why the county guards have always had the ability and resources to fight back again and again.

Thirdly, according to reliable information, the Montenegrin county government's previous actions of increasing taxes, occupying fields, raising money and goods, and mobilizing the garrison corps were actually done without the approval of Sentinel Ridge. If this information is finally confirmed by the Western Prefecture Prefecture, the enemy of the rebel army is the Black Mountain Prefecture and the forces behind it, not the entire Stormwind Kingdom.

In summary, Skar opposed the risk of attacking towns and fortified fortresses, saying that he should continue to consolidate the existing base areas, encircle and isolate the government strongholds, and deplete the enemy's personnel and reserves. In the meantime, he had already sent someone to contact Sentinel Ridge somehow, waiting for a response from High Lord Grian Stallman. If all goes well, it is possible to maintain temporary peace with the western state capital and the kingdom.

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into discussions. A hall master said directly to Skar, "Helper, it's not that I don't disrespect you, but even now, are you still fantasizing about reconciliation with the kingdom?" ”

Others also said, "That's right, even if the county government did it without permission, it must have been tacitly approved by the state government." "That Stallman may be the force behind the scenes, and he doesn't want to dirty his reputation, so he lets his subordinates be scapegoats."

Someone even whispered, "Since the gang leader was injured last time, has he been frightened by the enemy?" Fortunately, there was still a deputy gang leader, and he didn't feel anything scared. ”

Of course, there are many people who support the opinion of the helper. Oster had long learned that at first, Skar raised the banner of the rebel army with the beggars and the secret armory as the core, and with the extensive expansion of the subsequent team, he was no longer able to decide all the affairs of the gang.

Even in private, there have been many times and multiple hall masters for various purposes, instigating Oster to take the position of helper, and they will support them vigorously; Auster ignored them.

After some debate, the assembly voted en masse, and in the end, Skar's proposal was not adopted. Many hall masters wavered, waiting for Oster's opinion, and as a result, the deputy gang leader of Ao happily abstained from voting - this is for sure, he was still a otaku a year ago, how could He De indiscriminately fire empty cannons on such a critical occasion, and use paper to command and do practical work, isn't that harmful?

Although Skar still has the final say, he chooses to follow the opinions of the group. The congress finally made a decision to concentrate forces to take the crossroads fortress first, and then attack the town of Montenegro. The meeting also reorganized the establishment and duties of the commanders of various departments, and also made some adjustments to the appointment and dismissal of personnel in all halls, bases, and camps.

After the meeting ended, Skar was still preoccupied. Oster thought he was being overwhelmed by the meeting of the hall masters, so he went over to talk to him. He thought about how to explain the other party for a long time, saying that he had no intention or ability to be a helper at all.

Before he could speak, Skar looked at him and said slowly, "Brother Brown, am I really a capitulationist?" I remember you once told me that we must not only improve our own lives, but also change the world, and use the barrel of a gun to seize and establish a political power belonging to the people;

When I first raised the banner of rebellion, my idea was just to let the people who had suffered from the disaster live, and as for whether or not to overthrow the state capital and the entire Stormwind Kingdom, it was acceptable to me. Don't I really have the courage to fight to the end? ”

Auster looked at Skar's sincere eyes, and the white-washed patched clothes on his body, and realized that he was thinking too much; The person in front of him was full of people, and he never thought about personal matters at all, let alone fighting for power and profit.

Oster thought for a moment and replied, "If the system is not adapted to the actual situation and to the level of productivity, it is empty talk." Forcibly leaping forward will not only fail to achieve results, but will also harm others and oneself. Change needs to be done step by step, and no small progress is meaningless. ”

Skar nodded and said, "I think so too, if it is determined that the disaster in the west is man-made, then finding out the culprit is more priority than opposing the kingdom." To a certain extent, it is even possible to join forces with the enemy. In fact," he continued, leaning in further, looking left and right;

“…… Our informants planted behind enemy lines have found out that some person or organization behind the scenes has bribed the mayor of Montenegro and the head of the Crossroads Corps, and forged the royal letter and the Pope's edict, and falsely ordered the transfer of the direct legions and the Holy Knights. In order to avoid leaking the news and putting the informant in unnecessary danger, I kept quiet at the conference. ”

Oster was very surprised, who was so bold, this nature is complete treason. In fact, the rebels have never been openly against the Storm Kingdom, and their banner is also anti-rent and anti-grain; If this matter is verified, then the rebel side will become the Montenegrin county government, and Skar's side will become a real rebel army.

Oster took a keen interest in this powerful informant behind enemy lines, and thought that a series of previous battle victories were also thanks to this person's accurate information, and he almost passed back the genealogy of the enemy army; So he jokingly asked, "Who is our nail, is it really capable, is it surnamed Yu?" ”

After hearing this, Skar's expression was solemn, and he said after a while, "It's someone you know." ”
