At the meeting of the headquarters of the rebel army, the delegates were in a stalemate between war and withdrawal. Some of the hall masters and captains believed that if they did not withdraw the siege and collide head-on with the huge army of the state and county capitals under the city, what awaited the rebels would be doomed. The rest believe that they have already paid such heavy casualties, and they are the last step away from liberating the entire territory of Montenegro County, and if they give up, then the countless soldiers and people who died before will not be sacrificed in vain.

After hours of debate, the final vote was that most of the delegates agreed to continue the siege strategy, while two columns were divided to the south to prepare to hold off the state army.

After the meeting, Skar, as usual, approached Oster to ask for his opinion. Oster prefers the rejected proposal, still feeling that storming the town is not a good idea.

Just like the history he knew in his previous life, once the war is deadlocked, the greater the cost and the higher the sunk cost, the more difficult it is to give up. Some of the sober-minded people who try to get out of the war will also be overwhelmed by vengeful public opinion. The end result was that all human and financial resources were exhausted on the battlefield and suffered the most painful defeat.

But Oster didn't say it, because he knew that his own views could also be completely wrong and harmful.

Now on the ground of Montenegro County, there is actually a situation of three-way scuffle, the county government, the state capital and the rebel army are enemies of each other, and they are all afraid of each other. Although under normal circumstances, the scandal of subordinate rebellion will be suppressed by the state government and resolved internally. But now, the people's riot has overthrown the entire northeastern region of the wilderness, and even reached the heavens, alarming Stormwind, and the nature has begun to be different;

The Great Lord of the Western Frontiers, Grian Stallman, was faced with two choices: one was to quickly suppress the people's rebellion with the county government, declare the rebellion to be in vain, and then settle accounts with these restless men; The other is to join forces with the people's army to completely eliminate the rebels, and then plead guilty to the Storm royal family.

Either way, there are huge hidden dangers and uncontrollable risks. Coupled with the debilitating plague that has been raging for a year, the slightest carelessness will completely rewrite the political situation in the west. The biggest variable influencing Stallman's choice was the final outcome of the siege of Montenegro. Whether the rebels can conquer this resource-rich town and completely wipe out the remnants of the county government will determine the outcome of the entire uprising and the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in the northeast of the wilderness. At this time, it is worth the cost.

Osters thought about it, not knowing which opinion was correct, and he couldn't even convince himself. Politics has never been a simple and superficial thing, but contains extremely intricate undercurrents and games. Less than a year ago, he was a social animal otaku who had never seen much of the world, and now he was suddenly put in the position of leader, and he didn't know anything about these things, not even key politics, all taken for granted;

He thought that he should be a goldfinger pendant with peace of mind, kill elite monsters, and engage in scientific research, and he should not and is not able to express his opinions on occasions that he is not good at.

Oster thought for a moment, then said to Skar, "This is the end of the matter, and I have no right to dictate the decisions of the others. However, there is only one point that can break the situation, and that is to find definitive evidence of the joint rebellion of the county government and the corps fortress as soon as possible. ”

Skar agreed with him, and as long as he got this, he threatened that Stallman would be handed over to Stormwind, who would immediately take sides, abandon the traitors in Montenegro and crusade against them. At that time, the threat faced by the rebels will be solved, and even in terms of name, they will change from anti-thieves to real rebels.

But the problem is that the time left for them is numbered, and even if the Great Lord secretly grinds foreign workers and gathers the Yuexi Corps with flying ships, it will take three or five days at most. And now not to mention the evidence, I don't even know the identity of the person behind the scenes.

After much thought, neither of them had a good solution. Skar asked Oster to adjust the flight coordinates of the magic messenger and send a secret letter to Pullman and others, hoping that these warriors lurking in the city could find some clues.

Another half day later, in the town of Montenegro, in the slum inn. The guards listened to the artillery fire from the outside world, and they were all gearing up and excited. Pullman planned to operate behind enemy lines, and several of his comrades had already set off first.

They intended to raid armouries and granaries everywhere, harass and contain enemy forces, and cooperate with the large forces to attack head-on. Everyone thinks that in a short time, maybe even when they wake up, the town of Montenegro will be liberated.

At this moment, there was a regular knocking sound on the edge of the window, and Pullman opened the curtain a slit, looked left and right, opened the window, and retrieved a carrier pigeon. With the disguise magic removed, the carrier pigeon transforms back into a round magical courier. Pullman took out the letterhead hidden in its large belly, opened it, and deciphered it with transcoded crystals, revealing the leader's handwritten letter.

Pullman, the only literate man, read the letter to the fighters, and as he read it, the smiles on everyone's faces faded.

From the letter they learned that after a whole day and a night of fierce fighting, the frontal assault of the main forces suffered a defeat. Countless valiant soldiers lay in pools of blood, but they were unable to shake the vicious enemy hiding behind fortresses and trenches. What's even more critical is that the government reinforcements from Sentinel Ridge in the south are about to arrive at the border, and the rebels are about to face a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides;

The gang leader urgently needs them to search for some key information and evidence in the city, which proves that in the past year, the Montenegrin County Government, together with the Crossroads Corps and the Northern Knights, has falsely proclaimed holy decrees, exploited the people, expanded the army privately, and plotted treason. Only by finding this can we solve the urgent need of the rebel army.

The warriors all saw the gravity of the situation, and they were all as restless as ants in a hot pot. Pullman was also anxious, thinking that he should hurry to find the evidence, and if he dragged it on, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the problem is that they have just arrived, and they don't even know what the so-called evidence is, and the escort team is not a full-time spy officer. Destroying enemies and destroying warehouses is not a problem, so where do they find things they have never seen before in huge towns?

The warriors all looked sad and pondered various plans, all of which were difficult to implement. Just when everyone was at a loss, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a pale-faced Marisa walked out against the wall.

She had already heard the conversation of the warriors, and said weakly, "Don't be busy, I have already found that thing." It's because of it that I was beaten like this by that stinky woman. ”

Seeing Marisa wake up, the warriors were very surprised and gathered around. Marissa greeted everyone with a smile, and said with a triumphant face, "Boys, it's still not okay to leave your hall master." You big bosses, it's okay to fight, let you go to get information, you can't find it in a hundred years! ”

The warriors laughed loudly, not only laughing at Marisa's still stinky appearance, but also thankful that the young hall master had survived this catastrophe. After laughing, Marissa said;

"Listen, the biggest villain is the Knight Lord of the North, what's called Vi...... I can't remember. Anyway, the fake face youkai was his righteous daughter, and they used illusions and puppets to control the entire town hall, and everything was arranged behind this person's back.

The evidence is in the basement of the church, which has now been blown up. And there is such a big movement, the rest must have been transferred. However, I took a small part of the room early and took pictures of the room with a crystal ball. Before I could send it out, I was found out in order to save those stupid children who were caught. Then I got into a fight with a fake face monster, and I didn't fight ......"

Marissa probably just felt embarrassed to lose the fight, so her voice became quieter and her mouth pouted. The room was silent, however, as everyone held their breath as she spoke, some of the warriors' fists clenched tightly.

Behind these immature and frivolous words are extremely dangerous and almost fatal. The thin girl in front of her is shouldering a burden that is not commensurate with her age, guarding the people and justice with her young life, how touching it is!
