Chapter 171 New Base Location

Those who resisted could not ignore the opinion of the law. Even if Farrell had no relationship with Lysabel, the opinion of a dragon was enough to make these resisters think twice about their decision.

"My Lord, are those new nobles from the Kingdom of Valandi really the same as the rumors say?"

Lysabelle carefully chose her words and asked the question.

As a servant, Lysabel needs to be careful with her words at all times so as not to anger the dragon in front of her.

She has not yet brought any tangible benefits to Farri, but this is enough to anger the greedy and bad-tempered dragons and cause them to punish these incompetent servants.

Although Farri didn't look like a dragon, Lysabel didn't feel that she could speak freely in front of him.

"I don't know much about those nobles."

Fary noticed the looks of the resistance fighters standing by, many of whom had just learned about the relationship between Lisabel and Fary.

Obviously, they were not very willing to accept the fact that their leader was actually a servant of another creature, even though Farui was a powerful dragon.

However, these resistance fighters also understand that they do not have the strength to fight against Fari at the moment.

But this did not prevent them from secretly looking at Fari with distrust and suspicion.

"Sir, where do you think we should set up our base?"

A resistance sergeant said to Farui.

Although his tone was very respectful and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, and his posture was very humble, his eyes revealed suspicion and distrust of Farui.

He was waiting for Fari to say something that was completely inappropriate, and then he would respectfully refute Fari.

The dragon in front of him didn't look like a brutal dragon. The sergeant thought there might be a chance that, through a well-reasoned argument, he could make Farri give up the idea of ​​interfering with the decision-making of the resistance fighters, thus maintaining the independence of the resistance fighters.

Most of the resistance fighters did not want to become slaves of this dragon that suddenly appeared.

To these people, being a slave of a giant dragon and being oppressed by the nobles did not seem to be much different.

"This is more suitable."

Fari stretched out his paw and carefully tapped on the map.

The markings on this map were very detailed. Even though Farui didn't know much about the Principality, he could still get all the information he needed to know from this map.

The resistance fighters' map-drawing skills seem to have improved significantly in recent times.

"Excuse me, sir, but there are no forests here. It will be difficult for us to fight against the Duchy's troops in a place like this."

There was no forest in the area that Fariso had outlined, only scattered groves and bushes.

"Do you really need to fight against the Principality's troops?"

Fari's words made the resistance fighters around him frown.

"If we don't fight back, do we have to surrender to the Principality's troops?"

In the eyes of the resistance fighters, Fari wanted them to surrender. Only Lisabel stood aside, as if thinking about something.

"How long do you think you can fight the Principality's troops in the forest?" The surrounding resistance fighters fell silent. They had been driven out of a huge forest by the Principality's troops before.

Although they inflicted sufficient damage to the Principality's troops, it was of no practical significance.

"You don't need the so-called protection of the forest. After all, those forests are dead things. Under the siege of the Principality's troops that outnumber you in both quantity and quality, hiding in such a forest is just a slow suicide."

"But if the forest didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to fight against the Principality's troops. The resources they can mobilize far exceed ours. As long as we reveal our whereabouts, they can use their numbers far exceeding ours to fill all our detours."

The resistance fighters were not convinced. Most of them knew that they could not survive indefinitely in the forest, but as long as they could delay for more time, things might turn around.

"You now have an advantage that a principality does not have, and that is people."

At this moment, Lisabel finally figured out why Fary drew his base there.

"There are a lot of villages in that place, and it happens that the one who rules there is a capitulationist noble."

This information is marked on the map, and there are enough people in that place. However, the living conditions of these people are not particularly good.

Just from the information marked on the map, one can see how incompetent the nobles who rule there are.

There was only one dilapidated town in that area, and the population in the town was small, because the food produced by the entire territory could not feed even a slightly larger urban population.

The villages around the town were often unable to feed themselves due to the harsh taxation by the nobles, and did not have much food to sell in the town, nor did they have much money to buy the goods of the craftsmen in the town.

These people are natural supporters of the resisters.

"We don't need to engage in open confrontation with the Principality's army in these places."

Lisabel had come back to her senses.

Since they cannot obtain enough food and daily necessities in towns, the population that would have been concentrated in cities is now scattered throughout the territory to form small villages one after another, and these villages will become an excellent cover for the resistance fighters.

When the regular troops of the principality appeared, they only needed to change into the tattered clothes of ordinary villagers and blend in with those villagers. Most of the troops of the principality came from the Kingdom of Valandi, and they could not tell the difference between ordinary villagers and the resistance fighters who changed into villagers' clothes.

Unless they intend to carry out an indiscriminate cleansing of all these scattered villages, their only choice in the end is to leave.

And when they leave, this area will become a paradise for the resistance fighters, and the nobles will not have any ability to deal with these resistance fighters hiding among the villagers.

The resisters were able to attack the nobles at will.

The villagers will be very happy to join the resistors, after all, these resistors will provide them with an opportunity, an opportunity to punish the nobles who oppress them.

"Confronting the regular army of the principality will not bring you any benefits. Those nobles are easier to deal with, and they can also win you the support of ordinary people. And this support is your greatest advantage now."

Fary's eyes swept across the resistance fighters and finally stopped on Lisabel.

She already understood what Farui meant.

"Get ready, our assembly point is here."

She made her decision.
