Linger asked directly: "Those two people may not willingly give up their status?"
Carson Borg had no intention of hiding this, after all, this matter still had something to do with Ringer.
"I have some friends in the Hand of Ashes and the Forest Rangers. At first, they fought with me for the cause of liberation in the Anthers area, but later, the inaction of the Kingdom Army disappointed them. They felt that they could no longer rely on corrupt and incompetent politicians to expel the invaders and to completely liberate their hometowns. Therefore, they were attracted by more radical ideas."
Speaking of this, Carson Borg said with emotion: "I can't say that their ideas are completely wrong. In fact, even at that time, I was dissatisfied with the royal family and the corrupt politicians in the palace. But I think the power of the kingdom is weak, and if there is still a split and struggle within, I may not have the chance to regain my hometown in the future, so I insisted and did not want to go with them. Of course, I have no right to argue whether the ideas are correct or not, but their vision is indeed not good. Whether it is Dita who established the Hand of Ashes or Erecente who led the Forest Ranger, they are not the kind of person who has the ability to realize their ambitions."
"In every battle they have proved this long ago. The Hand of Ashes indiscriminately assassinated all those who were unwilling to stand up against the invaders, even ordinary people, repeatedly pushing those who might have become allies to the enemy, but Dita is stubborn and refuses everyone's persuasion to him; the Forest Rangers attempt to make the Anthers region independent of the Kingdom, and their splitting claims are extremely resistant to the Kingdom, and naturally it is difficult to obtain support from the smuggling channels controlled by the Kingdom. Alesent was unable to obtain the urgently needed supplies, but repeatedly launched strong attacks. Not only were the casualties, but the lack of food and medicines bothered the warriors who followed him."
"In this case, my old friends began to doubt their choices, but they were unable to change the status quo, so they could only gather a group of people with the same ideas and struggled to support them. In this case, I brought them much needed support, and as long as they gave me a promise that would not be silent at critical moments." The Gray Hill Eagle said this, paused a little, staring into the eyes of the young man and said, "The supplies I gave them are actually obtained from you, Mr. Linger."
"So that's it. Did you think about what happened today at that time, Mr. Carson?" Linger thought. He did not think that Carson Borg was a rude thing to give to others the supplies he had to support the Ashes Guerrillas. Being able to apply all resources to the blade is a necessary quality for a leader and a manifestation of foresight.
"I just had a vague idea. After all, it was impossible to determine what actions Dita and Irecent would take. I originally planned to decide after this action depending on the subsequent situation, but it was still the information given to me by Mr. Linger, which gave me some confidence. Since the action will surely be successful, I expected that the two of them would never miss this great opportunity, but this is also a good time for me to plot against them."
The Eagle of Gray Hill was calm and did not hide the fact that he was calculating others: "After I gave the supplies to several old friends, I did not immediately let them take them out to win people's hearts, but for the time being. Until today, Dita and Irecent's behavior of invading Emman Town seemed to have brought a brilliant victory, but the subsequent seized supplies were still abandoned due to the pursuit of the troops. The lack of supplies within the Hand of Ashes and the Forest Rangers did not improve. In addition, they did not change their unscrupulous style in the past and still took action against ordinary people, and the voices of dissatisfaction were already boiling. At the meeting, outside, I joined hands with leaders of the other two resistance organizations to question, inside, inside, my old friends suddenly attacked and received the support of many members. Dita and Irecent had no choice but to pay the price for their arrogance and short-sightedness."
He smiled and said to Linger: "Above the meeting, we have reached an agreement to establish an alliance, and take the liberation of the Anthers region as the most important mission, and act together. As for the differences in ideas, let's put aside. After the invaders are driven out of the grey hill, how these people will fight will be between them and the kingdom."
The Gray Hill Eagle does not participate in political struggles, he only fights for his ideals and justice.
After listening to the causes and consequences he told, Linge was also a little moved, but not for the matter itself, but for the wisdom and strategy reflected by the man in front of him, and his long-term vision: "This matter is simple, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to do. You must have started planning a long time ago, Mr. Carson, even long before we arrived in the East Continent. In this way, we just happened to make up for the last part of the plan for you."
Carson Borg smiled and said, "It is also the most critical link."
He was indeed dissatisfied with the style of Hand of Ashes and the Forest Rangers a long time ago. He felt that not only did not contribute to the liberation of the Anthers area, they had brought many negative effects. Therefore, he secretly planned with his old friends and tried to change them from the inside. But the materials and intelligence brought by Ringer, and more importantly, a kind of planning margin, which is the key factor for the Grey Hill Eagle to be confident of attacking in advance.
Linger sincerely exclaimed: "It's amazing."
"Is it amazing?" Carson Borg said self-deprecatingly: "I think it's very despicable."
"Why?" Linger frowned slightly: "If I feel ashamed of Dita and Alecente, I don't think it's necessary. If they have the ability, things will not evolve to this point. Isn't even their own people starting to oppose their decisions enough to explain the facts?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It has nothing to do with them."
The Eagle of Gray Hill slowly shook his head: "But, for this plan, I deliberately indulged the Ashes Hand and the Forest Rangers to launch an offensive against the Ash Town, implicating the ordinary people in the town. This is indeed a very despicable thing. It is definitely a word that cannot be explained in four words. I still have some self-knowledge in my heart."
He said this, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I originally wanted to regain my home in an open and honest way, but later I realized that a person who is open and honest can become a hero, but can never become a qualified leader."
The current ashes guerrillas, the current gray hills, and the current Anthers region, happen to need a leader, not a hero.
The Grey Hill Eagle made his choice.
Linger had no right to comment on this, but he couldn't help but think that if he stood in Carson Borg's position, would he make the same decision? Linger used to be, just as he always thought he was a rational and indifferent person. But now it is not the case. He can't think of the answer, just as he no longer knows what kind of person he is now.
"Thinking about the good, at least the Hand of Ashes and the Forest Ranger have changed their style with your help. In the future, something like this shouldn't happen, right?" the young man comforted.
Of course this is impossible. As long as the war continues, innocent people will always be injured. But that is the fault of the war, not the Gray Hill Eagle. Everyone has to compromise in the war to obtain what, or more realistic, just to survive, Carson Borg is not an isolated case. Thinking of this, although the comfort of the young people is a bit thin, it still makes the Gray Hill Eagle feel a little better.
The young man also changed the topic in time: "How do you plan to act afterwards, Mr. Carson? To be honest, although this action ended with victory, it seems that it did not achieve the original strategic goal?"
The young man refers to Carson Borg's use of this operation to test the reaction of the 17th Legion. The Ashes Hand and the Forest Rangers attacked the town of Emman without authorization, further expanding the war will undoubtedly trigger a chain reaction and make this tentative offensive meaningless. If the 17th Legion regards it as a signal of declaring war and starts war head-on, I am afraid that this newly established alliance may not be able to win even if it fights against the enemy together.
When the Gray Hill Eagle decided to indulge the behavior of the two, did they have already figured out a strategy to deal with it?
"About this," Carson Borg said, "I have a message to tell you, Mr. Linger, that this is an information channel from the Kingdom, which was only reached me the day before the operation began. At that time, I wanted to share it with you, but the operation was about to begin, and it was not yet possible to determine its authenticity, so it has been preserved to this day."
"I hope to hear the details."
Linger acted attentively and was not surprised that the man in front of him had private contact with the Kingdom Intelligence Department. After all, the attitude of the Gray Hill Eagle has always been very clear. As long as it is to regain his home, no matter who is willing to cooperate. In addition, his identity and fame in Gray Hill was taken to the Kingdom to ask for cooperation, which is natural.
"The Axis powers withdrew from the central battlefield."
There was clearly no one else around, and Carson Borg still lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by the invisible shadow in the dark: "The reason is unknown, but it is accurate. Among the three powerful countries in the Western Land, the Great Bretta Kingdom withdrew two legions, the White City Republic withdrew three legions, and the Minderias Empire also withdrew a group of officers serving in the central battlefield. In addition to these three powerful countries, other small countries as members of the Axis also withdrew some of their troops. In other words, the current central battlefield is actually in an empty state. Before the intelligence came, the Axis powers had moved the defense line back and entered a strategic defense state."
The face of the Gray Hill Eagle showed a bit of deep thought under the reflection of the bonfire: "I don't know what they want to do, but people from the Kingdom Intelligence Department speculated that it was very likely that some major changes had occurred in the Western Continent that made these countries rush to withdraw their troops and stabilize their homeland."
But what a serious accident was that they could act so cautiously? Linger thoughtfully and asked, "Has the sect team withdrawn together?"
When he asked the key point, Carson Borg was not surprised. The young man in front of him seemed to have an amazing intuition, and could always keenly capture the most critical part of everything. The man shook his head slowly: "This is the most thought-provoking thing in the whole thing. The Holy Cult Army not only did not withdraw its troops, but also sent a batch of troops to supplement the gap in other countries' withdrawals. It is said that the Holy Cult Army naval forces stationed in the broken waters have already advanced.
He set out and rushed to support the central battlefield, and the blockade line on Josie Beach showed signs of loosening. The Kingdom Intelligence Department speculated that if nothing unexpected happened, the airship units of the Holy Cult Army stationed in Suare will also receive a call order, and they need to cross the Anthers Mountains and become the first troops to support the central battlefield. In this way, a great combat power that the 17th Legion has always relied on will probably not be able to return to defense in a short period of time."
"So, temptation or not temptation has lost its meaning?" Linger understood Carson Borg's thoughts: "As long as the enemy's main force is transferred and the defense is vacant, you will start a war against the 17th Legion, seize this rare opportunity to regain the Anthers area?"
"That's right."
Carson Borg was still very calm and did not feel excited or fanatical. He said cautiously: "But there are still many doubts in this, such as whether the withdrawal of the Axis countries is only temporary and will be replenished soon? Are the Navy troops of the Holy Cult Army in the broken sea just pretending to evacuate? Everything is the bait they put on? The Holy Cult Army's transfer of the airship troops stationed in Suare is only a speculation of the Kingdom Intelligence Department, and may not be accurate. Even if the above are true, we cannot launch a rash attack in a short period of time. Therefore, my idea is that the next small-scale offensive will be the main focus.
, but it can be more bold, not to test the reaction of the 17th Legion, but to stimulate them to react. Once they react, we can find out the truth and then deal with it. On the other hand, we are informing other resistance organizations that have not decided to join the alliance. If they do not want to miss this best opportunity, joining us and acting together is the only choice, and believe that they know what choice should be made. In addition, we must continue to contact the intelligence departments of the kingdom and let them urge the royal family and the court ministers to make decisions as soon as possible, dispatch troops and recover lost territory."
"If this plan is implemented smoothly enough, I guess that will be a good opportunity to declare war on the 17th Legion."
The Gray Hill Eagle had a serious face, and his shadow flickered in the fire, as if it was blown by the wind: "It is also our only chance."
