Chapter 1811 Talented Individuals in the Rebel Army
The National Defense Forces' offensive proved too much for the dwarven resistance to handle.
The dwarven resistance leaders were all in a terrible predicament.
Some leaders whose territories were located on the edge of the desert looked more distressed than if their own mothers had died.
Because their strongholds were being eliminated one by one, they were the ones most affected.
Their power is their territory.
This is also the source of their confidence when speaking within the resistance organization.
In the resistance, you can't gain the upper hand just by being right.
To have a voice in the resistance, you first need to have a certain level of strength so that everyone can take you seriously.
There are many followers in the resistance; they don't lack the desire to have a voice, but their power doesn't allow them to stand up.
Whether it was the rebel army or the former dwarven empire, everything was based on strength.
If you are powerful enough, people will listen to you.
But if you don't have the ability, people might not listen to you.
The reason why the rebel leader was able to become the rebel leader was not only because he had a certain territory, but also because he was a descendant of the royal family of the dwarven empire.
To be precise, he should be the uncle of the dwarf emperor Andres.
As the uncle of the former dwarf emperor.
The rebel leader used his royal status to gain substantial personal benefits.
At one time, nearly 40% of the trade in the entire Dwarf Empire was controlled by the rebel leaders.
The amount of money they can earn each year is countless.
It was precisely because he controlled the economic lifeline that he was able to quickly accumulate wealth, and after the fall of the dwarf emperor Andres, he used his wealth to quickly raise an army.
This army became the precursor to the dwarven resistance.
Later, with the complete collapse of the dwarven empire, a resistance army gradually took shape.
Numerous civilian organizations joined the resistance, which led to the resistance we see today.
As Andres's uncle, he is already very old.
Not only has my hair turned completely white, but my energy is also much less than before.
Especially in the last two years, he has been jointly suppressed by the National Defense Forces, which has caused him to lose his former vigor.
He's now practically a hero in his twilight years.
He may not be considered a hero, but in his own eyes, he is.
He created a resistance army, successfully extending the life of the dwarven empire.
But in reality, he did not extend the life of the dwarf empire. On the contrary, the rebels became a new force that oppressed the local dwarf people.
In the period immediately following the establishment of the dwarven government, the dwarven people were largely oppressed and exploited by local officials.
Most corrupt officials don't dare to oppress too much.
Because they were terrified of the people rebelling, and the Dwarven Empire had a garrison.
What if these civilians are not afraid of death and go to the National Defense Force to report them?
Then it will be these dwarf officials who die.
As officials, they never intended to get entangled with ordinary people from the beginning.
They are officials, and ordinary people are the people; officials and the people naturally cannot coexist!
This is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Dwarf Empire.
The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!
After this purge began, Lyon gained a clear understanding of the local officials in the Dwarf Empire.
That is, every single one of these local officials is basically stuck in their old ways of thinking.
They don't work for the benefit of the people; they only seek their own interests. Lyon had wanted to replace these officials for a long time, but things have to be done step by step.
Inside the headquarters of the dwarven resistance.
The leader's words silenced everyone.
Because the leader is right, they really have no right to speak.
They can't even handle the national defense forces, so how can they expect to take turns performing?
Everyone was silent.
Just then, a young rebel general suddenly spoke up.
"We shouldn't just sit here and wait to die. Those corrupt officials are already supplying us with weapons and equipment."
However, according to news from the front lines, the weapons and equipment of the National Defense Forces have been upgraded, and the weapons and equipment sold to us by corrupt officials are no longer up to par with the National Defense Forces' version.
Therefore, we should not place our hopes on these corrupt officials. We should find a way to make them fight against the National Defense Force, or rather, make them actively draw the National Defense Force's firepower for us.
They are only selling weapons now; they are not confronting the National Defense Forces directly at all.
The National Defense Forces could easily eliminate them one by one.
Therefore, I believe we should proactively escalate the conflict between the two sides, causing them to engage in a fierce battle and dispersing the forces of the National Defense Army.
Only then will we have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and defeat the divided National Defense Forces.
The young leader's words successfully boosted everyone's confidence.
"What about the Elven Empire's army? They're also watching us from the sidelines, ready to pounce?"
One of the leaders, with his pointed face and monkey-like features, spoke up. He didn't actually care who he was fighting; what he cared about was how his troops could preserve their strength during the war.
To put it bluntly, he simply didn't want to fight and didn't want to waste his strength for nothing.
"What is the Elven Empire's army? In my opinion, they are just a bunch of rabble. Although there are many opportunists in our resistance, it is undeniable that there are also a large number of battle-hardened veterans in the resistance."
These veterans had participated in the war against the Elf Empire and even fought against the first generation of the National Defense Army. For these veterans, the only difference between them and the National Defense Army was their equipment, not their tactical skills.
You might find my words a bit arrogant and complacent, but that's the general idea. The National Army has more advanced equipment and tactics, but the combat quality of the soldiers on both sides is actually not that different.
As far as I know, this National Defense Army infantry division has not participated in many actual battles, not even as many as some of our battle-hardened veterans.
If we can't bridge the technological gap in equipment, then we'll try to use sheer numbers to close the gap between us.
We should maximize our numerical advantage over the National Defense Forces, while simultaneously trying to defeat the Elven Empire's army first.
Only in this way can we have a chance to survive under the control of the National Defense Forces. As long as we survive, everything will be fine. As long as we survive, we will have the resources to launch a counterattack!
The young man spoke eloquently, igniting a flame of hope in everyone.
"So what exactly should we do?"
"I've done a rough calculation, and we have at least 2 veterans, and the total number of people who have been to the battlefield is at least 5. Although 5 may not seem like much, we have never been an army that stands in the light. We should take the initiative and find a way..."
Before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a fierce leader.
"Stop being so formal, just explain it clearly!"
The young man twitched his lips and began to speak.
"That means we should wage guerrilla warfare! The National Defense Forces have their armored units, but they are severely hampered in the vast desert, and we have something they don't..."
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at everyone present, and everyone immediately focused their attention on him, unable to figure out what he was up to.
The young man paused for a while before speaking.
"We have a large number of desert camels! You may dislike the speed of camels, but in the summer desert, these camels will become our best means of transportation! They are also an important asset for us to turn defeat into victory."
