Monroe brought Bredrow's suggestion that the rebels withdraw from the city of Ascatra and sail to the base of the Dark Regions, which is the only way to save their lives.

Former gladiator Handak frowned and said, "Leave everything behind and run away? So what's the point of our uprising? We revolt to drive out the invaders and return to our old lives, how can we easily abandon the city? ”

Reynold's bloody head was silent, but his face was very bad, he was weighing, the new shadow master knew very well that if the Amber Shadow Thief left Am, the organization would slowly disintegrate and divide, and eventually die out completely.

Amm is the foundation of the Shadow Thieves Guild, and without Am, the Shadow Thieves are like fish out of water.

However, Reynolds also knew that staying in Ammu was also a dead end, and the shadow thieves also had many scouts and intelligence agents in various parts of the Faren continent, and the news that came back was not optimistic, and all the countries of Faeron had united to treat Ammu as a demon who had invaded the continent and was going to carry out a righteous exorcism.

Several delegates could not make a decision on the spot, they had to gather the people they represented and hold a meeting to discuss it.

The duty of the gray dwarf Noland, who came with Monroe, was to protect Monroe on the one hand, and to help buy time for the evacuation of the citizens of Ascatla, and Norland brought a group of gray dwarf guerrillas and a boatload of weapons to lay minefields in the enemy's path before the foreign intervention forces surrounded the city of Askatla.

Landmines, even in modern warfare, are the best way to slow down the enemy's attack.

In addition to the mine-laying sappers, Norland also brought the best snipers in the base, equipped with sharpshooters imitating Mosin Nagant sniper rifles, with an effective combat range of up to 800 meters.

The mages of the Faeron Continent, unless they use legendary spells, spells in the Nine Rings and below the Nine Rings have a cast distance limit.

Even the farthest cast distance is 400 yards away + 40 yards x cast level.

That is to say, a level 20 legendary mage, using the most long-range magic, the farthest casting distance he can reach is only 1200 yards, one yard is about 0.3 meters, and 1200 yards is 360 meters, which is closer than the effective combat distance of the Mosin Nagant rifle using mechanical aiming range.

In other words, if an archer with a Mosin Nagant rifle without a scope strikes from a distance of 400 meters, even if the mage uses the detection spell to find the enemy, no magic can attack the shooter.

As for the archers of the Faren Continent, the longest range of the bow and arrow can reach four hundred meters, but the effective killing distance is only 150 meters, more than 150 meters, and under the action of the wind, they can still shoot at the target It is the most elite elven archer.

If the two armies are facing each other, the distance will not exceed 400 meters, but the gray dwarf guerrillas do not intend to fight head-on, they have dark vision and the ability to dig tunnels, and will take advantage of the night to snipe the invading army camp, using scoped sniper rifles to snipe enemy officers, generals, mages and priests at a distance of 800 meters.

If the enemy pursues, you will have to wade through a pre-laid minefield, and even if you pile up your life and reach the sniper's hideout, it will be difficult to find the gray dwarf who has slipped through the tunnels.

Even if the tunnels are discovered, the gray dwarves are short in stature, and the tunnel entrance is very narrow, and it is difficult for tall humans and elves to get into, and if they have to get in, the human elven warriors who are unable to use their weapons will be hidden in the tunnels, and the gray dwarves armed with revolvers will be beaten like turkeys.

Covered by the divine powers provided by Safras, the god of prophecy, the guerrillas of the Red Faith cannot be detected by magic or magic, except by the most traditional means of detection.

Hide yourself, try your best to kill and injure the enemy's living force, run when you fight, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, and the enemy retreats and I chase.

The goal of delaying time was set, but it is not known what effect it can achieve, this time the strength of the intervention army that came to Ammu is far greater than the previous knights, the gray dwarf guerrillas cannot launch sniper warfare during the day, if the army increases the speed of the march during the day, uses spell bombardment to blow up the minefield, and advances quickly, the enemy army will not be delayed for long.

Time is running out.

……

Although the people of Askatra reached a consensus on the issue of driving out the invading army and decided to rise up to resist, each class also had its own demands and did not reach a unified understanding.

Dame Hathaway, who was elected as the female prime minister, did not have enough courage and prestige, and she did not study Bledreau's theory in depth.

Hathaway had a premonition that there was not much time left to stay with Io, and she took back Io, but it angered the entire continent of Pheren, and almost everyone in Pheren wanted to take Io and destroy Io.

The Dame did not think she could be as brave as she had been in the attack on the Temple of Losanda, she was not a natural warrior, she was not keen on fighting, and she did not want to be a revolutionary leader.

She is just a woman who wants to regain her love and stay with her for the rest of her life.

Politics bored her, fighting tired her, presiding over parliament and listening to the chaotic arguments of the people, she preferred to return to Io and spend the little time she had left with him.

While the council was arguing, the gray dwarf guerrillas were in action, laying mines, digging tunnels, mapping the terrain, drawing up battle plans, and setting up supply points.

After more than a year of training, the gray dwarves have basically mastered a complete set of guerrilla tactics, and every guerrilla knows what they should do without the need for a commander's ear.

Even if the team is scattered, it can be dispersed into a travelogue squad and continue to fight without the command of the superiors, which is the unique ability of the red guerrillas.

The New Council of Six approached Monroe again with feedback from the public, and the results of the citizens' discussion were very surprising, with most citizens reluctant to leave the city of Askatra.

Among the common people represented by Handak, the people with little money are unwilling to abandon the family property they have accumulated for a long time, and the choice of people is very realistic, not believing that the dark region can provide normal living conditions, and human beings can live a good life in the dark area.

Although Handak had stated that Ascatra might usher in a legitimate massacre of the Pheron Kingdoms, many people did not believe it, and some even complained that there should not be an uprising, which pushed those who wanted to live a peaceful life to their deaths.

These people may have the idea of surrendering and giving in if the intervening army comes, but it is unknown whether they can do so.

Beggars and vagabonds, the destitute of the populace, have agreed that they are willing to go to the Dark Lands, and for these people there is no difference between living a miserable life in the Gold City and living a miserable life in the Dark Ones.

Maybe life in the dark areas is better?

It's just darker, and there are places on the surface where the sun doesn't shine, not much brighter than dark areas.

The merchants decided to flee on their own, so they refused to go to the dark land, and they did not want to wait for death in Am, so they loaded all their possessions on ships and went anon.

In the end, the number of citizens who decided to go to Fish-Man Island by boat was not very large.
