Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 180: Resistance Meeting

"boom!"

A dull sound of pounding the table rang out in the simple meeting room.

One of the deputy leaders of the rebel army and the chief of staff was browsing a document with a gloomy expression.

This document was compiled from information provided by a large number of informants. It records the contents of many meetings of the nobles of the southern continent and the various regulations of the Steam Federation civilization.

Yes, the rebels did a pretty good job in intelligence work, and they had obtained the relevant data before the nobles announced the establishment of the Steam Federation civilization.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to the rebels.

Because before this, the rebels had always been under the banner of reviving the glory of the steam civilization, and they attracted many people with lofty ideals.

If those nobles had not been attacking each other and doing evil things every day, they would not have been able to recruit all kinds of high-level talents so easily.

But now, the nobles did not seem to continue to use this window of time to fight for power and seize more resources as they had expected.

Instead, they united.

There must be something fishy going on here.

In fact, he had already guessed this ghost before.

After all, those mysterious visitors descended from the sky, and no one would have missed them unless they were blind.

Another document he just received confirmed his guess.

"A new invader... a wizarding civilization?"

The Chief of Staff stared at the paper in his hand with a serious look.

It is filled with records of the various movements of Vic's cannon fodder slaves and maids over the past few months.

This of course includes the "notice" press conference held a few months ago.

They made no attempt to contact the intruder during these days.

the reason is simple.

The attitude of the invader is really unclear, and rash contact may lead to considerable danger.

And the other party communicated with the nobles as soon as possible.

This is definitely not a good thing for them.

But if he combined the contents of this intelligence, he could now draw a worrying conclusion.

That is, these invaders may not intend to completely control and exploit the people in their steam world.

Instead, they want to find some agents here and let the agents help them protect the invaders' own interests.

This is an opportunity for the rebels, but the corresponding risks are also greater.

If they exposed themselves voluntarily, but those invaders from another world looked down on them, they would directly inform the nobles of their existence.

Then they will be completely besieged.

The current southern continent is not as chaotic and loose as before.

Although only a few months have passed, the most basic order has been established and consolidated during these months.

At least if the nobles wanted to hunt them down across the southern continent, they could do it.

On the contrary, if those invaders feel that they are more suitable than the nobles to be the leaders of the steam civilization.

Then they will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unimaginable benefits.

Not only is there hope of replacing the original ruling class of the Southern Continent, but further development is not impossible.

Should we take the risk and try to make contact with the invaders of wizard civilization?

The chief of staff was in a state of hesitation.

In theory, he can decide on the rebel organization's strategic diplomatic actions to a certain extent.

But such an important matter must not be treated so casually.

If anything really happened, he couldn't afford the responsibility.

It was for this reason that he convened this action meeting to let the top leaders of the resistance army discuss it together. Among them, the opinion of the resistance leader Suraya was very important.

Although the organizational structure of the rebels is relatively decentralized, Suraya, as the actual leader and spiritual leader, has considerable prestige among the rebels.

Most likely, the final outcome of this meeting will depend on her thoughts.

Because they currently have too little information from all parties, no matter what choice they make, it is actually a gamble.

If you win the bet, everyone is happy; if you lose, everyone is doomed.

Of course, it is also possible that the invaders don't want to deal with them at all, and leave them to the native nobles of the steam world to deal with.

This is also a bad situation for the rebels.

Because they have lost their concealment, it is difficult for the rebels to defeat the regular army to a certain extent.

It is almost an impossible task to capture a city in one fell swoop when the enemy is on alert.

At that time, they might only be able to try to compromise, coexist with the nobles to a certain extent, and wait for an opportunity to revolt one day in the future.

I just don't know if the nobles will give them another chance.

All I can say is, there is little hope.

Therefore, this decision is extremely important.

If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. If you shrink your head, you will get a knife.

If you don’t choose, you are likely to die of chronic illness.

Even if you choose, there is only a glimmer of hope.

……

"Hey, these damn invaders, can't they just be quiet for a while?"

"The previous group of Carver talents just left, and now a stronger group of wizards has arrived."

"Wizard civilization...Wizard civilization..."

"What kind of monsters are these!"

A rebel officer wearing advanced combat uniform pounded the table, feeling somewhat desperate.

The pros and cons brought about by the different attitudes of these new invaders were naturally not difficult to understand for the top rebel leaders who were in a meeting.

They all frowned and were very troubled by this.

The resistance was born after the Carver civilization evacuated and the internal power of the steam world was empty.

In fact, they had long had the idea of ​​resisting the invaders and reviving the steam civilization.

However, due to the strong pressure from the Carver civilization, they have never dared to take organized action.

But compared to the Carver civilization, the new wizard civilization is obviously more powerful.

It would be absolutely impossible for them to succeed in any armed confrontation on their own.

The only advantage compared to before is that these invaders who claim to be from wizard civilization seem to completely look down on their steam world.

In the entire southern continent, there was only one so-called wizard.

This is what they learned from some public or semi-public information.

It is very simple to resolve the current situation. It is enough to just convince that one wizard.

The question is, where to start?
If I really do nothing and just go up and reveal my identity, the probability of losing the bet is too high.

……

"Okay, stop frowning."

Just when the conference room was silent, with only the sound of shuffling papers.

Suraya, who was sitting in the first seat, suddenly spoke.

"Now that the situation has come to this, let's face reality."
