Chapter 1817 Dying While Singing!
Ibelin's words put the higher-ups in a state of contradiction. Some of the higher-ups had been furious with these subservient officials from the very beginning.
They weren't afraid at all from the beginning.
To be precise, as descendants of the Dwarven Empire, their goal from the very beginning was either to kill the National Defense Force or to be killed by it.
However, many members of the dwarven resistance were not wearing the same pants as them.
A significant portion of the dwarven resistance forces were disloyal and alienated.
There were very few young officers like Ibelin.
Moreover, they are often disliked.
Because most of those who control the armed forces are conservatives.
These conservatives are not particularly outstanding.
These conservatives have survived to this day entirely thanks to the protection of their ancestors.
Ibelin's directness this time completely ignited the conflict between the two sides.
The rebel leaders who chose to die alongside the Dwarven Empire clashed directly with the fleeing leaders.
"Run, run, run! All you ever do is run! We ran from the Elf Empire to the northern defense line, then from the northern defense line to the capital, and then from the capital to the Great Desert!"
Tell me, if we can't even stay in the desert anymore, where else can we escape to?
The goblins have all been wiped out by the National Defense Force, so where do you think you can escape to?
"Do you think you can break through to the underground and escape to some so-called inner world? Or are you planning to become dogs for the National Defense Force?!"
The rebel leaders immediately opened fire.
The conservatives, capitulationists, and fence-sitters looked instantly gloomy upon hearing this.
These high-ranking rebel leaders chose to directly criticize, completely disregarding the so-called harmony within the rebel ranks.
In fact, these high-ranking members of the resistance also knew that the resistance must be united, but at this moment, internal stability must come first in order to fight external threats.
Ibelin has developed a set of tactics, but the National Army will soon launch a new offensive, at which point it is necessary to consolidate the strength of the resistance forces.
Previously, these fence-sitters and opportunists chose to support Ibelin because what he said made sense, but now things are different. Ibelin has made the Wehrmacht's retaliation clear.
These high-ranking officials, who had no will to fight from the very beginning, couldn't sit still any longer. All they wanted to do now was run away, to run as far away as possible to survive.
The elderly rebel leader was heartbroken to see this.
He knew that these rebels had never been allies from the beginning.
However, there are many things that cannot be discussed openly.
As long as it's not brought to the surface, the resistance is the powerful resistance, not the fragmented resistance it is now!
Ignoring the distraught rebel leader, the two sides launched into a verbal battle right there in the hall.
His words were not only sharp but also full of profanity, which made people feel scared.
Ibelin sat quietly to the side.
He had no liking for these high-ranking officials who were arguing amongst themselves, because instead of wasting time arguing, they should gather more troops and train more soldiers.
Having gained complete enlightenment, Ibelin looked up and inadvertently saw the pale-faced rebel leader, and was immediately horrified.
"Leader, what's wrong with you!"
Ibelin's words instantly jolted everyone awake, and they all turned to look at their leader, who was now deathly pale and on the verge of passing out.
"Are you trying to drive me crazy? Our resistance army has achieved what we have today because of our unity!"
Moreover, Ibelin's words were absolutely correct! We either get wiped out by the National Defense Forces, or we choose to fight them to the death.
Surrender? What do you have to surrender with? Every one of you is stained with the blood of innocent people!
We have no other way out but to fight! I think I'm going to collapse. If I don't hold on today, everyone will have to obey Ibelin's leadership!
"We may not be able to win, but if Ibelin takes the lead, there is at least a glimmer of hope..."
The leader fainted immediately after saying this.
Many loyal rebel leaders immediately lifted their leader and placed him on a bed nearby.
And a large number of doctors were brought in to guard them closely.
Seeing their leader trapped in the upper echelons, the rebel leaders were all speechless. Although the leader was a figurehead, he would often step in to mediate when conflicts arose within the rebel army.
All the high-ranking members of the resistance, regardless of their faction, deeply respected this leader.
After learning that their leader had fainted from anger, the rebel leaders stopped arguing.
Those high-ranking rebel leaders who were determined to die sought out Ibelin to discuss countermeasures.
But just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and one after another, the National Defense Force fighter jets were attacking the rebel strongholds in various places.
Furthermore, the stronghold that Ibelin and his group mentioned had already been discovered by the National Defense Forces, but the National Defense Forces had not yet launched a thorough encirclement and suppression operation.
Now that Kong Jun is here, there's no need to worry about so much. Just blow it up!
Several aerial bombs landed precisely on the rebel camp.
When the deputy saw the missile falling, he immediately grabbed Ibelin and saved Ibelin's life once again.
Amid the chaos, Ibelin struggled to his feet.
Looking at the command camp, now a scene of utter devastation.
Ibelin was completely bewildered.
But the next second, he looked up at the fighter jets flying in the sky and suddenly roared.
"Come on, let the storm rage on! What about the National Army? I will die singing!"
As he spoke, Ibelin extended an international friendship gesture.
The retreating IDF fighter jets did not witness this scene.
If they see it, they'll probably fly back and do another sweep.
What? You're tough? Then let me see if you have an iron will, or if our steel has a will?
The National Defense Forces' air force began a fierce attack on the resistance forces within the Dwarven Empire.
Ibelin once again felt the helplessness of the rebels against the National Army.
Meanwhile, the orcish empire to the north is also in a precarious state.
To be precise, the orc resistance forces are gradually showing signs of fatigue under the multi-pronged attack of the National Defense Forces.
After several days of enticement, Goodry finally managed to get the orc rebels to concentrate a large force in preparation for a decisive battle.
Little did they know that the orcs' actions had fallen right into Goodry's trap.
Gudri intended to achieve his goal in one decisive battle from the very beginning.
So after learning that the orcs had assembled their entire army, Goodry urged the demon people's army to march eastward to put pressure on the orcs, while personally directing the army's defeat from the central defense line.
The goal was to get the orcs to find a way to place the main battlefield on the defensive line that Goodry had carefully prepared.
The People's Army exerted pressure, forcing the orcs to urgently seek a breakthrough.
The more anxious the orcs became, the more composed Goodry remained.
Finally, the orc rebels could no longer sit idly by and chose to launch a preemptive strike.
Upon learning that the orcs had launched a full-scale attack, Goodry was overjoyed and immediately began to direct the battle.
"William's guards were ordered to be on standby at all times, ready to support the front lines at any time. Meanwhile, all Wehrmacht combat units were to hold their positions according to the previous deployment."
In particular, the four areas previously highlighted, with four National Defense Army infantry regiments stationed in these four areas.
Even if they wipe out all my soldiers, I'll hold the line! As long as I'm here, the position is mine!
Gudri gave all troops rough command orders.
He then began to carefully assign combat orders to each army unit.
Commanding large-scale military operations is an extremely energy-consuming task.
However, Guderian intended to achieve his goal in one decisive battle.
It's okay to be tired now; if we're tired now, our descendants won't have to work so hard...
