The news of the civil strife among the survivors reached Industrial City through Shenguang Forest almost on the same day, and most of the backbone of the survivors knew about it at the same fast speed.

They started talking about it in the middle of the meeting.

Compared with many nations in this world, the survivors have a very deep identity for themselves. The magician understands this very well, so even though the distance is so far apart, he still tries his best to establish a relationship with the survivors who are fighting in the Central Empire through the elves. This connection is not only in intelligence, but also in material.At a great cost, the Industrial City established a line with the Far East, imported many industrial products such as steam engines, radios and radios to the survivors, and also gave them some mechanical blueprints that could be realized at a lower technical level.

Li Yunce established a relevant technical team within the bereaved family, not only using the steam engine and radio, but also made achievements in a short period of time. The weapons supply and funding situation of the bereaved coalition forces have been greatly improved because of his efforts , which enabled them to withstand several consecutive violent counterattacks by the aristocratic army of the Central Empire, and kept and stabilized the large areas that had already been laid.Under such circumstances, at least according to common sense, not only as a core figure in the technical team, Li Yunce, who has made irreplaceable contributions, should not be attacked, tortured to the point where his life was in danger, and even fled to the forest by extraordinary means. Those machines that have played an important role should not be destroyed.

It is not an obligation for the industrial alliance to assist the bereaved. They killed technicians and destroyed machines. Did they think that all these would grow out of the soil?

Of course, there are many "reasonable" but "unreasonable" things in this world. Compared with shock, heartache and swearing, analyzing and researching why the situation has changed to this point is the way to face reality.Although their first-hand source of information was cut off because Li Yunce was forced to leave the bereaved family, his attack also showed that this source of information was very limited. The General Long provided Li Yunce with other information. If we analyze it together, They might be able to piece together a rough picture of the changing situation.

The cadres of the survivors worked hard to do this job, they didn't try to hide it, they didn't particularly hide what they were doing, which easily attracted the attention of the orcs and others.Although the most important thing at the moment is the Alliance Congress, the experiences of the survivors and what is happening are not unrelated to other ethnic groups in the alliance. Many people know that the Industrial Alliance has contacts with the survivors who are attacking the Central Empire. Perhaps the orcs should respond to this I have some opinions, but the long-distance route opened by the industrial city directly connects to the Shenguang Forest. As equal friends of the industrial city, the elves transfer materials for the bereaved for free, and those valuable materials sent to the bereaved are from the industrial city. The bereaved family voluntarily purchased part of their own labor remuneration, which is an equivalent exchange, so few people would think that this is a special preference of the magician.

In the eyes of others, it is difficult to get rewards for such selfless sacrifices made at such a long distance, but these hardworking and capable survivors do not ask for anything in return, and they give what they can as if they wish their distant relatives to live well With the help of that, they have the ability, so they do it, there's nothing wrong with that.However, this good intention was let down, not only was it let down, a young man who had been directly taught by the magician and was placed in his expectations almost died, so this matter deserves some concern.

The survivors of the Central Empire are an alliance of the same ethnic groups in different regions. It is thought that the Industrial Alliance is an organization with a more complex composition, a wider area of ​​jurisdiction, and a more ambitious cause, and it is at a critical moment of choosing a path. In this era when information exchange is still difficult, the stories that happened in the distant world are worth referring to.

The Alliance of Survivors has a common enemy, and everyone is fighting for the same goal. They have accumulated anger, determination and perseverance, and the fighting talent of infinite strength, so their initial battles went smoothly. Either caught off guard, or intentionally powerless, the loose and weak resistance was soon overwhelmed by the ferocious offensive of the survivors.This vengeful army marched forward triumphantly, until they encountered setbacks in the two directions of the Duchy of Valentin of the Grand Duke of Liard and the province of Biburton led by the Earl of Bonas, and had to suspend the offensive and regroup.Although those two aggressive battles caused heavy blows, the survivors did not hurt the root cause, not to mention that they should slow down to digest the results of the battle.

This was supposed to be an adjustment to sum up the failure experience, strive for the next victory, and further unite the survivors, but instead, a deep crack was rectified, which led to a series of disasters later.

Although it was beyond the expectations of many people and violated the wishes of many people, if it is pursued, the root cause of the disaster may not be because of this rectification, nor because of previous failures.

The Allied Forces of the Survivors is a military-led alliance. Hundreds of small groups of armed forces unite to form a torrent of attacks on the Central Empire. There is no doubt that this scattered form is not conducive to war, so These small groups of armed forces united according to their geographical origins, historical heritage, or the interests of the armed leaders to form thirteen larger armed forces, and elected their respective leaders to form a military alliance. The general decides the strategic direction and specific military tactics of the coalition forces.The highest organization that provides supplies and other support for these thirteen alliance armies totaling [-] is called the Presbyterian Church, the military division battalion of the coalition army, logistics officers, and all the cities and towns that are responsible for dealing with the administrative forces of the coalition forces. The deputies of affairs are all under the jurisdiction of the Council of Elders.

Obviously, this is not a mature and stable power structure, and both the Alliance of Generals and the Council of Elders understand this.However, the smooth offensive of the coalition forces in the early days kept almost everyone busy in expanding the results of the war, and because the Generals Alliance and the Council of Elders were still unable to choose a recognized supreme leader, these two organizations with equal status and independent leadership have always coexisted like this. Stumbling through all the affairs of the league.

The war of revenge of the survivors has achieved good results. They occupied a large piece of land with good water and heat conditions in the south of the Central Empire. Prosperity, the agent handled the local affairs well, the original imperial residents only fled partly in the early stage, and the rest also adapted to the new ruler for a period of time, and there were not many examples of resistance.But as far as the war itself is concerned, its initiation cannot be regarded as well-prepared and well-organized. There have always been problems within the coalition forces where people are divided and fight independently. The unclear organizational relationship has produced various internal factions. They either compete, or cooperate, or both compete and cooperate. Even those who are most familiar with the affairs of the bereaved have difficulty clarifying these messy relationships.

Everyone knows that there should be a recognized leader to lead the overall situation, but the bereaved family is a bit special. Their direct royal family has been annihilated in history. However, after experiencing several disputes over "seizing the throne", and the one who succeeded in the end, in order to increase his bargaining chip to ascend to the supreme position as soon as possible, he took a division to accept the city that the "Royal Restoration Corps" had brought down. After falling into a trap and being wiped out by the great prince of the Central Empire, and hanging the heads of all the survivors in the city all over the city wall, the cause of "respecting the king" was put on hold for a long time by the General Alliance and the Council of Elders.

Now that the inheritance of royal blood has lost its inherent nobility over a long period of time, there is a tacit understanding between the Generals' League and the Presbyterian Church: Of course the survivors need a new king, but the new king and his subjects Will be chosen from and only from this confederation and the Council of Presbyterians.However, for a long period of time before, there was no obvious difference in strength and prestige between the factions of the thirteen generals and the thirteen elders in the alliance. The result of internal majority agreement.

until the defeat of this war.

The fiasco turned into an opportunity for change, and the impatient stalemate was finally broken. The eight generals in the alliance accused the two generals who led troops to attack the Duchy of Senas and the province of Biburton for the failure. responsibilities, and held a joint meeting with the Council of Elders, voted to cut off the seats of the two generals, and disbanded their army, and filled it into the remaining 11-member army.It is not enough to do this step alone. While actively supplementing and expanding the army establishments that have been divided, the generals also decided through internal meetings to allow the generals of the divisions to "raise food and grass by themselves" in order to "avoid the recurrence of the disaster". The power to "sit down and hold power".

Their decisions and actions are so fast, it is obvious that they have thought about it for a long time. For those who have foreseen it, this is a natural development of helplessness, but for many survivors, As if overnight, the Survivor Alliance changed from a somewhat contradictory united group into a temporary alliance of separatists and armed forces. The ambitions of the generals were clearly revealed. It has two sides of one body and two sides of their alliance with the general.Although they all said that the purpose of doing this was for the entire bereaved family, and many of their fans really believed this, people still couldn't help but think of the battle of the Eight Kings that directly led to the decline of the bereaved family in history.

Such a painful lesson, after a hundred years, cannot alleviate the anger in people's hearts. History is a lesson before us. Is it necessary to repeat this tragedy here again because of the ambition of some people?

Especially now that there are not only eight but thirteen princes who intend to separate themselves. The two expelled generals refused to recognize the results of the alliance meeting. They said that the failure of the war was not due to their improper command, but the betrayal of traitors. .They produced some evidence to prove that some people did set up various obstacles for them in the transmission of information and the movement of materials, and some people committed suicide before being brought to confront by the private army of the two generals. Although the 11 generals and the elders He would strenuously deny that any of them had any connection with the nobles of the Central Empire, but the demands of the two generals to regain the seat and the army still won the support of many people.

The tendency to split is like a plague, infecting the entire Remnant Alliance from top to bottom.Because the top leaders openly began to fight for power, people also had to choose sides for their own interests and the interests of the groups they belonged to. There are many examples of severing ties for this reason.Even though the biggest target of the bereaved family's revenge is right in front of them, those who destroyed the foundation of unity say that the Central Empire is too big, and it will take a long time to completely eat it. After giving it a heavy enough blow, the self-reliance of nobles everywhere and the continuous wave of uprisings are also impacting this crumbling body, and it is not far from falling down by itself.So it doesn't seem so out of date to start playing these political games now.The fingers have to be clenched into fists to punch out, so it's okay for them to spend a little time to complete the internal rectification first, right?

They were not able to convince everyone and many came out against them.In the same way, those who opposed had their own organizations, and these people combined to form another faction different from the Military League and the Presbyterian Church, and called themselves the "New faction."This faction, whose main members are middle- and lower-level generals and local agents, condemns the splitting of the alliance of generals and the elders. Clean up the Council of Elders, and take back the powers of those magistrates who have expressed their obedience.

Regardless of the naivety and weakness of this idea of ​​returning everything to the original state, it at least shows that the new faction is also disunity.The faction that sent Li Yunce's head was undoubtedly another idea. They had both force and action, and it was obvious that they used Li Yunce's name to act for them.

But at least before the foundry was attacked, Li Yunce was not in any faction.He also worked hard to eliminate the influence of factions in his jurisdiction. He was modest and contributed to the bereaved family, but he almost died. Became like this" resentment.

If I have to say the reason, it is that when the internal strife within the bereaved family was endless, he spread the two things, newspapers and radios, through the channels of the forest among the bereaved family.Since Li Yunce joined the Vengeance Alliance more than two years ago with an artifact called a steam engine and a team of technicians, the difficult situation faced by the survivors has been greatly improved. Iron makes good weapons and agricultural tools. The application of various hydraulic and wind machines makes brick making, sawing wood, spinning and oil extraction easier and more efficient. The application of machines and technologies not only provides them with A lot of wealth has been created, and in a short period of time, people in the occupied area have changed their views on the survivors, turning them from "wild monsters" into "vengeful survivors who transfer magic from nature to themselves".

Therefore, Li Yunce enjoys a very special and lofty status in the bereaved family. People are willing to accept new things passed on to the bereaved family through his hands, especially the radio, which is as miraculous as a steam engine, naturally has a strong transmission power.The radio station set up in the Shenguang Forest allows people to hear the news of that fascinating place thousands of miles away. Whether or not they fully believe the "story" on the radio, people will share that new world that is being profoundly transformed at the same time. connect with the difficulties they are facing.They are so eager to be strong, united and rich, what kind of road should the survivors take to achieve it?

They turned their attention to Li Yunce.

When he first joined the Alliance of the Survivors, Li Yunce made an oath that he would not do it for anyone, but only for the best interests of the survivors.His work is the proof of the oath. In addition to actively promoting the application of machines and improving traditional production methods through experiments, he also worked hard to spread knowledge by expanding the workforce of technicians and establishing public schools. He is also different from those who are in the ranks of their revenge. He believes that only "benevolence and righteousness" can allow the survivors to truly replace the aristocratic rule of the Central Empire. What is the difference between nobles?The purpose of war should not only be for revenge, but also to establish a new order. In this set of order, not only the survivors can live well, but people of other ethnic groups should also be able to live in peace.

His views received little support—at least on the surface, and were often raised against.Although he is "naive" and "indistinguishable from friend and foe" and "has never really endured hardships, he is not a complete survivor in his heart", but because of his position in the hearts of most survivors and the person in charge of the foundry and firearms workshop, It also has the only channel to ask for material assistance from the West, and people will tolerate him anyway.

If he hadn't been refusing to supply any faction with weapons that had not been agreed upon by the Military League and the Council of Elders, and had been chasing after some trifle long past.

He refused to approve the request for weapons without a seal, on the grounds that the applicant had evil intentions, and he did not support any behavior that might lead to internal strife among the survivors. He must pass the news to the west through the channel only he has mastered, and if the ruler over there changes his attitude towards the survivors, reduces or even cuts off their assistance, then the damage to the alliance will be smaller than these Small internal battles made many.

But the most critical, or fundamental reason, may be that his prestige is too high.People not only trust his character and ability, but also respect and appreciate his noble deeds of preaching and teaching. He is so young, and he is so lucky to be directly taught by the magician in the West, which is better than any other here. The bereaved are more aware of "that road" that the Western world is taking.

Li Yunce's death would of course be a great loss to the survivors.But what if he doesn't die?

The more information was sorted out and the more discussions were made, not only the survivors, but also the orcs and other ethnic groups in Industrial City began to talk about what happened in the Central Empire.They not only talked about the bereaved family, but also the nobles of the Central Empire, because when it comes to miraculous operations in politics and military, they also showed extraordinary talents, and even the news after two or three hands is eye-opening.In this atmosphere of discussion, although the number of elves is the smallest, the elves who have a good sense of presence in the industrial city also began to touch on a question that they had never thought about before they left the forest——

Question about the future of Shenguang Forest.

If someone asked these elves living in the industrial city before they left the forest: "Will the elves change because of humans?"

But now they have to think about the direction of Shenguang Forest's reform because of the changes that are taking place in human society.

The forest needs no change; the elves are a perfect race by nature; they don't care what happens in the human world except the Rift War; there is nothing new under the sun, and all ideals are lost to history; knowledge and technology cannot Solving the fundamental problem of human beings - is it appropriate to directly transfer the experience of another world?Will they start a world war before Rift War restarts? Does the "Sorcerer" want him to decide the future of mankind? ... Opposition, questioning, indifference, and noncommittal, these emotions were gradually replaced by confusion, doubts, curiosity, and serious discussions in the letters sent by the forest to the industrial alliance.

The Shenguang Forest is the "heart of the earth", and the elves are the "children of nature". For thousands of years, they have lived in their own way and viewed human life from the same angle. Even the Rift War has not changed this.However, taking the captivity of the tree elves as an opportunity, the elves came into contact with the "Sorcerer" and the industrial alliance they established. In just a few years, the forest erected an antenna higher than any tree.Batch after batch of elves left the forest and took power boats across half the world to a strange land, not to fight the crisis, but to observe and learn—although they themselves believed that the ultimate goal was to fight the crisis.

The elves are actually not a closed and conservative race. Although they are arrogant, fastidious, show off their wealth, and like to keep quiet, their extremely high individual combat effectiveness and moral level make them the most trusted no matter what era they are Allies, so they do not lack the experience of cooperating with human beings, but the relationship with the industrial alliance is still the most special in the history of these cooperations.Elves join or lead some teams formed for important missions. No matter what kind of feelings they have with human comrades and partners in the process of achieving their goals, the mission will always end, the team will be disbanded, and people will go their separate ways. , except for memories and scars, elves rarely bring anything new back to the forest.

But now the real war has not yet started, the invisible radio waves have turned thousands of miles away into a daily audible, the white ships are not only importing materials into the forest, but also the production and lifestyle on the other side of the world, the elves in the forest not only He has already regarded all kinds of news happening in the western world as a daily topic, and has also formed different interest groups on his own. With the support of the queen and the prince, he has carried out technological attempts based on the information provided by the industrial alliance—not just technological exploration, Some elves proposed to reorganize the town of Midway, and use this official channel for elves to communicate with humans to "verify the universality of certain theories."

Although knowledge and technology cannot solve the fundamental problems of intelligent life.But in the face of such a profound and vast unknown field behind the magician, which is condensed by billions of human cognition and practice, how can it be enough to just watch and listen?Human society will undergo unimaginable changes due to the transformation of production relations, which they have already seen through the industrial city.If that city is considered to be an isolated case, then its builders will make more extensive and in-depth attempts in the orc tribe, in the Orbis Kingdom and in such a large area as the Buber Plain.

History is changing, and while this great and violent storm is still blowing out of the sleepy and numb lives of many, it is only a matter of time before it spreads.The forest has never taken the initiative to isolate itself from the human world, and elves are essentially a member of human beings.

They also crave more power.
