The next day, the two adopted sons of Grand Duke Luoning, Karim Ronin and Varsh Ronin, knelt in front of Grand Duke. The two looked sad and could not stand up for a long time.

Charlie Ronin, sitting in a wheelchair, looked down at his two sons and said a few words in a vague way. Since losing the glacier defense line, his health has been getting worse and worse, and it is now difficult to express his views clearly.

"My father!" Karim Ronin was the first to speak, "The situation is now severe, the enemy is at the city, the people are dispersed, the army is in a state of disrespect, and the food reserves of Ronninger have reached a dangerous level. The enemy's troops are intact, and there is no constraint on Elena and the Republic of Niglu, we Ronninger may be eliminated by the enemy at any time."

"Yes, my father," Valsh spoke immediately, but did not dare to look up at his father. "For the sake of the present, we can only make the people's livelihood, and open the door to surrender, and I, Ankenry, will be peace in my life."

After saying this, Varsh and Karim looked at each other, and then looked up at their father. Charlie Ronin, the Grand Duke of the Ice River, was staring at his two sons with wide eyes, and the anger in his eyes was obvious.

"You...you two prodigal sons! Our Luoning family has been guarding the ice river defense line for hundreds of years, and has never produced a coward like you who are cowardly before fighting! Roninger is the Roninger of our Luoning family, the land of our bloodline, the land of our rejuvenation, you...you..."

Charlie Ronin was obviously angry. He raised one hand and pointed at the two adopted sons tremblingly. He made a snoring sound in his throat, as if he wanted to scold something. However, Varsh and Kareem didn't want to hear his objection. They stood up together and held Charlie Ronin's wheelchair.

"Father, thank you for your hard work for so long."

"Yes, Father, let's leave it to us next."

The figures of the two covered all their vision, and Charlie Ronin, who was sitting in the wheelchair, trembled violently, accompanied by a whimpering sound, which was very scary. But not long after, the room became quiet again.

"elder brother……"

Varsh looked at the silence in front of him, as if his father was asleep, and called softly.

"younger brother……"

Karim let go of his hand and felt his palm sticky. He wiped the sweat from his palm and looked out the window. At some point, the first snow in winter had begun to fall, and the yard was white.

"This war is over."

"Yes, it's time to end."

The two brothers repeated each other's words and then remained silent. After a long time, they turned around and opened the door.

"The last order of the Grand Duke, to plan for the country's country, from now on-"

"surrender!!!!"

The two of them drifted out of the Grand Duke's residence one after another, floating across the entire city and floating above the country. The snowflakes were falling silently, as if they had already happened, and the things that were happening had nothing to do with it.

——————————

Seven days after coming to Enspan Province, Cassie Lonagan got the chance to meet Gastens.

"When you meet the Chairman later, you don't need to be too restrained. The Chairman is not a person who cares about details. You just need to ask what you want to ask, and you will also ask you directly what the Chairman asks. We are very curious about your affairs and want to talk to you, but that's something that will happen later. Before that, the Chairman wants to talk to you alone..."

On the way to the president's office, Sinke Warren's advice never stopped. Cassie Lonagan looked at the character who had heard countless times since he entered Enspan Province, and was a little lost for a moment. While he was struggling far away in the eastern jungle of the Third Republic of Vern, Elena was just an abstract symbol, at most, and a little bit of Gastenth's personal color. But as he got closer and closer to Elena, he heard more and more stories about Elena, and he also understood this place more and more. Elena was founded by Gastenth, but it was definitely not Gastenth's.

Tents built alone. Beside him, there were many people like Ivan and Sink who were following him and helping him, and he worked together for the victory of the revolution. This made Cassie Lonagan envious. After all, in his memories, the leader he had followed was ultimately a corrupt and degenerate mortal. He envied this simple belief and follower, but he also knew that it would be difficult for him to find another leader to follow. Now he is no longer his original follower, he has become the leader of a revolutionary team. Only then did he know how difficult it is to be a leader.

It took not long to walk from the door of the first factory to Gastenth's office. The relevant security inspections had been completed when we first entered the town of Elena. What we need now is just a briefing and a little waiting time.

However, it was this little time for the notification that Cassie Lonagan felt a little long. He had imagined countless times and had longed for countless meetings to begin, and is he ready?

"Come in."

Sinclair, who had just pushed the door open and showed a corner of Gastenth's office to Cassie Lonagan. He walked past Sinclair's side and entered the office with some anxiety and excitement.

This office, located on the third floor of the first factory, was not big. It was originally an office used by the factory foreman and supervisors to supervise workers' work. Since Gastenth moved in, he had basically not moved the layout of the room, but had moved a lot of useless furniture and moved a lot of bookshelves into it. In the eyes of Cassie Lonagan, except for a huge Ankenyn map on one wall, the remaining walls of this office have been filled with bookshelf. It is dense, with books of different sizes and colors tightly squeezed on those shelves, and it feels that there may be too many to be squeezed off the shelves at any time.

"You're here."

Eilena's leader, the chairman of the Communist Party, the man closest to the great magician in the world, was wearing a semi-new Eilena military uniform, with no erectilena on her shoulders, no collar on her collar, and even two patches were sewn on her cuffs. He stood at the office window, turned sideways, and looked at Cassie Lonagan with a smile. The winter sun shone through the window and shone on his figure, turning him into a black and white silhouette, which was not real, but also halo.

"Gastense...Chairman..."

Cassie Lonagan hesitated for a moment, and still used the name of the chairman. Gastenth seemed to have no mind about his name. He took two steps forward, held Cassie Lonagan's hand tightly, and shook it hard.

"Thank you so much for coming. I thought that only we in this world, Alena, were still fighting for the victory of communism, but I didn't expect that in the Third Republic of Vern, there were also soldiers like you, who were also sacrificed for the revolution and made sacrifices! It really made me very, very excited and happy to see you and hear your news!"

Gastenth's enthusiasm was somewhat beyond Cassie Lonagan's expectations. His opening remarks had been lost by Gastenth's words, and only the surprise, happiness and incredible in his mind. It turned out that his career, his career that was staggering and could be extinguished at any time, had such important significance in the eyes of the big man in front of him!

"Come on, sit down and say, sit down and say."

Gastens pulled Cassie Lonagan down and poured tea for him with his own hands. Cassie Lonagan tried to refuse, but was hindered by Gastens' enthusiasm and had to take over a bone porcelain saucer. The black tea soup swayed slightly in the white saucer, like his at a loss.

"This is a tea set left by a girl from the Mage Tower. She later betrayed the Revolution. But these cups are correct, so I kept them to remind myself not to make the same mistake again."

Gastenth seemed to have no pressure. He saw Cassie Lonagan observing the cup of tea and said casually, "It is not easy to carry out a revolution, but it is even more difficult to meet a traitor. A traitor may even ruin the entire revolution. I have seen your experience, and your Workers' Union Party has suffered the same losses..."

Cassie Lonagan remembered the dead Kaber Luya. Is he a traitor? Or did he just forget his true heart and what he wanted to pursue?

“…Karber Luya just took the wrong path. And he took the wrong path, we will help him get back.”

Cassie Lonagan didn't know why he said this. He just felt that it would be a bit unfair to his former mentor if he only defined Kaber Luya with the word traitor.

"I understand, I know," Gastenth took a sip of tea and put down the saucer. "Comrade Lonagan, I was surprised by your existence. When I first got your news, I even thought I was dreaming. Although Elena now has some foundation, communism has no friends, only enemies. Can you imagine the feeling of being enemies in the world? When the Republic of Negro and Elliot attacked Elena at the same time, I even felt that I might lose! At that time, I had great hope that there would be a group of people in this world, a group of people who are not Elena, who can continue the revolution. Later, I learned about you and heard your story. Although your revolutionary environment is worse than ours, I must tell you honestly that I am really, really happy to hear that you are still working hard for the revolution!"

Gastenth's words were sincere and not fake. His high praise of Cassie Lonagan's career made this man who had been frustrated all the time and was deeply moved. He put down the tea bowl in his hand, hesitated, but firmly held Gastenth's hand.

"Sir, we are also revolutions launched by the army established by you in "Fluorite". However, we did not do well, the urban revolution failed, and the fight against guerrillas suffered repeated disadvantages. Now more than 2,000 people almost even eat. I thought at that time, maybe, you know how to carry out the revolution and how to achieve the victory of the revolution. That's why I came to you. I was very moved by your recognition of our revolution and our cause. However, I also hope that you can give us a clear path. How can we defeat those seemingly invincible enemies and achieve the victory of the revolution?"

"I understand," Gastenth's reply was quick, without any hesitation, "I will help you. But can you please tell me in detail, what are your difficulties in launching the revolution and what is your current situation?"

"Okay, OK!"

Cassie Lonagan nodded excitedly. All he had along the way was the time and the opportunity to communicate with Gastenth in person. He let go of Gastenth's hand, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

"It's okay, just say it slowly, it's okay to use Fern's words, I can understand."

Gastens's words in Fern shocked Cassy Lonagan. He felt that Gastens spoke very authentic. If he hadn't known Gastens was just a serf living on the border of Ankenyin, he would have thought Gastens was a resident of their Third Republic of Fern. And when he realized that Gastens could understand and even use Fern smoothly, Cassy Lonagan's pressure was greatly relieved. He took a few deep breaths and began to tell.

“At the beginning, we followed Chairman Kaber Luya in the factory…”

————————————

Cassie Lonagan's story lasted for more than three hours, and finally almost finished the revolution he experienced. During this period, Gastenth looked at him with all his attention and listened to him, and took out a small notebook and recorded a few strokes from time to time. His attitude was very serious. This seriousness inspired Cassie Lonagan. He finally stopped until he confirmed that he had finished all the things he should have said.

"Chairman Gastenth, this is our story, this is our current situation. We have less than three thousand people, hiding in the mountains and unable to feed. And our enemies have the entire country and can kill us at any time. How can we achieve the victory of the revolution? Can we achieve the victory of the revolution?"

After Kathy Lonagan finished speaking, he felt a sense of relief. While relaxing, he finally asked the question that had been wandering in his heart but was almost impossible to say.

Can his revolution still win?

"Why not?"

Unlike what Cassie Lonagan expected, he regarded himself as an insolvent knot, which was so lightly in Gastens's answer.

"But……"

Cassie Lonagan wanted to refute, but remembered that he was here to ask for advice. He forced himself to silent, looked at Gastens, and asked again.

"But, we can't even have enough food..."
