NFBE Chapter 1869 The Utter Collapse of Ibelin
Chapter 1869 The Utter Collapse of Ibelin
The young officers in the dwarven resistance had a stubborn look on their faces.
They chose to fight to the end.
It's not because they are so strong.
It's simply because they want to fulfill their own desires.
In their eyes, the lives of the dwarven rebel soldiers were not lives at all, but just a string of numbers.
A string of numbers used to make them possible.
They had already written their wills before uttering these words.
He also used his savings to hire a large group of people.
As soon as they themselves are killed, these mercenaries will immediately publicize the "glorious deeds" of the fallen officer.
Regarding the things these officers did.
Everyone involved knows how ridiculous it is.
But the problem is that these officers don't see it that way.
In their eyes, everything they did was of supreme glory.
It is something that countless people envy.
But their so-called envy is nothing more than a self-justifying excuse.
The steel torrent of the National Army quickly approached Ibelin's command post.
Ibelin never imagined that even with the treasure of the Dwarven Empire, he wouldn't be able to turn the tide.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the Wehrmacht, Ibelin ordered his men to resist while personally burning documents with several officers.
Although the defeat was inevitable.
But Ibelin wanted to do one last thing for the Dwarf Empire.
That is to burn all these important documents.
Some of the documents belonged to Ibelin and his rebels, while others were taken from the dwarven treasure.
The documents in this dwarven treasure were left behind by the dwarven ancestors.
It contains many secrets.
It also recorded many shameful things.
If this matter were made public, the reputation of the Dwarf Empire would suffer even more.
By then, the dwarves will be unable to stand in the world.
Seeing the burned documents, Ibelin finally felt relieved.
Ibelin found nearly 10 documents inside.
He has been reviewing these documents these days.
I've only seen a little over 1 copies so far.
Among these 1-plus documents are hundreds of records of massacres carried out by the Dwarven Empire during its foreign wars.
The Dwarf Empire has a long history.
The dwarf people have a cultural heritage spanning tens of thousands of years.
All the war records of the dwarves throughout history have been preserved.
They were all placed inside this dwarven treasure.
Then Ibelin found it.
Ibelin knew that these documents could not be left to the National Defense Forces.
Given Leon's personality, he would definitely expose these dirty deeds to the public.
Because Lyon had no consideration of the pros and cons of dealing with the powerful and wealthy.
In his eyes, only the people are the most important.
While burning the documents, Ibelin ordered his men to fight to the death.
However, the National Defense Force cannot be resisted with just a few words.
If words alone could make the Wehrmacht withdraw its troops, then Ibelin would have won long ago.
Ibelin was well aware of the strength of the National Defense Forces.
So he didn't hesitate at all.
Every time a portion of the documents were burned, a communications soldier would be sent to inquire about the situation at the front.
One minute ago, the vanguard of the National Defense Forces was attacking the third line of defense.
If the third line of defense falls, Ibelin's command post will be completely exposed to the Wehrmacht.
Ibelin devoted a great deal of effort to the third line of defense.
These soldiers were Ibelin's elite troops.
Many of them were candidates for the desert cavalry.
Furthermore, they received a large number of advanced weapons.
It should last at least 10 minutes, right?
But the next second, a communications soldier rushed in, and then said in a panic.
"It's bad, General! The National Defense Forces have broken through the third line of defense!"
"How is that possible? How could they break through the defenses in just one minute?"
The usually composed Ibelin could no longer remain calm.
You should know that the third line of defense was his masterpiece.
It can hold off the National Defense Force for at least 10 minutes.
But it hasn't held for even a minute now, how is that possible?
"They're paratroopers! They broke through at low altitude, braving our air defense fire, and parachuted into the third line of defense!"
We didn't even have time to react before we were sandwiched between two sides and completely destroyed.
Upon hearing the messenger's words, Ibelin swayed and almost fell over. His adjutant, seeing this, quickly helped him up.
"General, let's retreat. As long as we're alive, we can always find a way out..."
Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Ibelin raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Withdraw? Where can we withdraw to? The National Defense Forces are pressing us step by step; they have long been prepared to unify the world."
Even if we defeat the National Defense Forces now, what awaits us is not victory, but a new and even stronger National Defense Forces...
The only chance the Dwarf Empire had of victory was during the war against the Elf Empire...
No, that's not right, the Dwarf Empire never had a chance to win from the very beginning..."
Ibelin suddenly realized something, then collapsed to the ground and burst into insane laughter.
Just as Ibelin lost his composure.
The armored forces of the National Defense Forces, along with the airborne assault troops, have swiftly breached the third line of defense and are rushing toward Ibelin's command post.
The National Defense Forces are racing against the Airborne Forces.
They are playing a game of strategy against each other.
Because they both wanted to catch Ibelin before the other.
Although Ibelin was an unremarkable and mediocre person just a year or two ago.
However, in the past year, Ibelin has grown into the leader of the dwarven resistance.
The National Defense Forces naturally gave such a leader a great deal of face.
For ordinary minor leaders, the National Defense Army would simply blast them to pieces with a single artillery shot.
However, regarding individuals like Ibelin, high-ranking officials in the armed forces stated that they would arrest them if possible.
Inside the command post, many high-ranking members of the dwarven resistance army looked at the distraught Ibelin with bewildered expressions.
Over the years, Ibelin has always been synonymous with calmness.
In almost every battle, Ibelin was the calmest commander.
Few among the dwarven high command had ever witnessed Ibelin in such a state of collapse.
But the reality they now face is that Ibelin has collapsed.
They had to find a way out...
Several of Ibelin's loyal followers were still trying to persuade him.
"General, let's run! The Imperial Guards are prepared to die with the National Army. Under their cover, we can fight our way out!"
After speaking, his subordinate pointed to the dwarven resistance fighters wearing bomb vests outside the camp.
Upon hearing this, Ibelin subconsciously raised his head.
A spark of life appeared in his previously empty and lifeless eyes.
Looking at these young and inexperienced dwarven resistance soldiers before him, Ibelin completely broke down.
He can accept sacrifice, and he can accept defeat.
However, he could not accept that the future of these dwarven empires would be sacrificed so meaninglessly.
So what if they're wearing bomb vests?
Are you really expecting these homemade bombs to blow up the heavy tanks of the National Army?
After calming himself down, Ibelin spoke.
"Concentrate all the bombs at the command post. Dwarven resistance leaders, those who wish to break out, may do so. All dwarven resistance members, lay down your weapons and surrender on the spot."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Ibelin's words.
The loyal subordinates' eyes were filled with disbelief.
They couldn't believe that the number one traitor of the Dwarven Empire had decided to surrender!
(After much thought, I've decided to write a Western fantasy novel for my new book. I just got home and finally have time to update regularly.)
