Chapter 1870 In the end, it was nothing but a grand dream that vanished.
Gudri's rapid attack caught Ibelin completely off guard.
Faced with the rapid breakthrough by the National Defense Forces, Ibelin ultimately chose to surrender.
Because he knew that continuing the fight would only increase casualties.
Perhaps they can injure a portion of the National Defense Forces.
The problem is that the casualty ratios of the two sides are not even in the same league.
It takes at least 6, or even 10, dwarven rebel soldiers to take down one National Defense soldier.
This unequal casualty ratio was unacceptable to Ibelin.
Moreover, he didn't want to see the younger generation of the Dwarven Empire sacrifice themselves meaninglessly again.
Back then, their dwarven resistance army numbered over a million.
The number of players has been decreasing as the game has progressed.
To this day, the number of dwarven resistance soldiers gathered around them does not exceed 5.
The massive dwarven resistance army vanished completely into the annals of history.
Ibelin couldn't understand why they had lost so quickly.
Everyone can be defeated.
However, it is rare for a war to be lost so easily and without understanding the situation.
But reality left Ibelin no time to think further.
Ibelin ordered his men to surrender while simultaneously commanding his loyal followers to burn all the documents.
Meanwhile, the fanatical dwarven resistance leaders had completely descended into madness.
"Ibelin, you cannot surrender! There are no cowards in the dwarven resistance! We cannot bow down to humans!"
Seeing these high-ranking officials pointing and whispering, Ibelin could no longer bear it, and he took off his military uniform, which symbolized his identity, and threw it on the ground.
"What do you mean I can't surrender? What do you mean we can't bow down to humanity?"
You spout platitudes about benevolence and morality, but you're only doing it for yourselves.
You keep talking about patriotism, but in reality, during the wars between the Dwarf Empire and humans, you were always the first to run away!
The war has come to this point, you have no right, and no one else has the right to criticize me!
Similarly, you have no right to criticize the soldiers.
Were they deserters? No, they weren't. The reason they couldn't defeat the National Defense Force was because they lacked powerful equipment and a complete system.
With you insects around, how can the dwarven resistance possibly find a way out?
You didn't contribute during the Dwarf Empire era, and now that the Dwarf Empire's edifice is in ruins, you're only now thinking of taking action, and even then, you're only pretending to contribute.
What use are you to me? What's the difference between you and those rich young nobles who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun?
Ibelin seized the opportunity to berate these high-ranking dwarf rebels.
They silenced the high-ranking officials of the dwarven empire's resistance forces.
Because they knew that Ibelin was right.
They have absolutely no right to criticize Ibelin...
Some of the more astute executives had already quietly begun burning the documents.
As high-ranking officials, they knew they could not escape human judgment.
Some high-ranking officials, however, still held onto a sliver of hope. They decisively rallied their forces and attempted to break through the encirclement.
But deep down he never fights a battle unprepared; from the moment he launched his attack, he had already surrounded the entire Dwarf Mountain Range.
Although the entire Dwarf Mountain Range was not completely surrounded by soldiers.
However, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft continued to patrol in the air.
As soon as any dwarven rebels escape from the Dwarven Mountains, the Air Force will immediately report the intelligence to Goodry.
At that time, Gudri will send armored forces to chase after the dwarf rebels in the desert.
Let's see if the dwarves' two legs are faster, or their vehicles.
As Ibelin and his men began burning the documents, the National Defense Forces broke through the third line of defense at top speed.
And under Kong Jun's guidance, they quickly advanced toward Ibelin's command post.
Ibelin stared in utter despair as he saw that less than 30% of the documents had been burned.
Because he could already hear the noise coming from outside the command post and the sound of tank shells exploding as they hit the ground.
The National Defense Forces are practically right in front of us...
Without hesitation, Ibelin immediately ordered all his men to evacuate, and then brought in a box of explosives from outside.
"Run! Run as far as you can! Surrender if you can, and if you can't, find a safe and auspicious place!"
Ibelin gave his men his final orders.
Many dwarven resistance soldiers were moved after hearing their commander's words.
"General, we won't leave, we'll stay with you!"
Although Ibelin is a major villain.
However, in the hearts of many dwarven rebel soldiers, he was a good general and a good superior.
Most of the dwarven resistance leaders were thinking about how to exploit the dwarven resistance soldiers and their fellow dwarves.
Only Ibelin was thinking about how to benefit the soldiers and civilians.
Ibelin's men were always well-fed.
Meanwhile, the other dwarven resistance soldiers were not only not full, but some units couldn't even get rice.
They not only have rice to eat, but they don't even have meat to eat.
Although the Dwarven Empire was feudal, its emperors never mistreated their armies.
At least it can guarantee that the soldiers of the Dwarven Empire have meat with every meal.
But now the dwarven rebel soldiers can't get any meat at all.
I only get to eat meat once a week.
This is practically treating them like nuclear-powered oxen and horses.
But the problem is, that's not how you use cattle and horses!
This is one of the reasons why the dwarven resistance failed.
How can an army that can't even get enough to eat be considered a fighting force?
Looking at the group of men in front of him who were willing to die with him.
Ibelin was stunned for a moment.
He stood there, stunned, for a full five seconds.
He then hurriedly began to curse.
"What are you doing? You still have a bright future ahead of you, why do you want to die with this corrupt country like me?"
Promise me that after you surrender, you will accept reform and become a good person in the future.
The Dwarf Empire will surely have a brighter future.
Ibelin stopped his men from asking to die with him.
It's enough for me to die; there's no need to take the lives of these ordinary soldiers with me.
They were just ordinary people who didn't need to get involved in this pointless war at all.
"But General, do we dwarves really have a future?"
"Of course it will. Lyon is not a tyrant, and our resistance is not without its purpose."
Only if we fight will Lyon take us seriously.
Because Lyon knew that if ordinary people couldn't afford to eat, they would find a way to eat on their own...
Ibelin said that the entire command post was covered with bombs.
These loyal subordinates were unwilling to leave.
Ibelin roared as he pressed the detonator.
"Get out of here right now! Go back and behave yourself, understand?"
Many soldiers wanted to rush forward without hesitation when they saw Ibelin's condition, but they were held back by their comrades.
"No, General!"
Ibelin looked at the group of spirited young men in front of him and smiled.
The future of the Dwarf Empire is right before my eyes!
