The secret camp No. 4 was raided by the Normans, and the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors" suffered an unprecedented heavy blow: nearly 100 combatants were lost, and 269 non-combatants died and disappeared, and Bella Clumber Heisen was also among them.

The civilians who lived and participated in the production in Camp No. 4 only knew the situation of this camp, did not know the location of other camps, nor did they know the operation and contact information of the resistance organization. They fell into the hands of the Normans. Although the situation was bad, they did not threaten the safety of other camps and even the entire resistance organization. However, Bella played an important role in the logistics production system of the "Lorraine Guerrilla Warriors". In the team that moved with her, there were several combatants who knew where the camps were located. Once the Normans pried out key information from their mouths, the waiting for the resistance organization would probably be a

In view of this, after evacuating from Camp No. 4, Weiss' first thing he did was not to find out where Bella and other missing persons were going, but to decisively launch the plan to allow the entire resistance organization to implement a strategic shift - all personnel hibernate at night and migrate from existing camps to backup camps. Most of these backup camps are located in dangerous mountains and rivers, with minimal conditions and even lacking necessary drinking water sources. They need to supply fresh water for daily use by carrying horses. The food reserves are not enough to maintain the long-term use of the large group of people. The only valuable thing is that their existence is rarely known!

The organization suffered heavy damage, and the relatives and friends had no news, and their way out became increasingly slim. All the new camps were filled with grief. These days, while remembering Bella's life and death, Weiss ran around the camps, trying every means to calm the emotions of the people. Although he was in a heavy mood, he did not feel timid and discouraged, because he knew that this was a real guerrilla warfare. Not only did he have to fight against powerful enemies with extraordinary courage and wisdom, but he also had to be prepared to lose his companions and even sacrifice himself at all times. Only in this way can he pass through this thorny road and come to the brilliant end of victory...

On the abandoned saltpeter mine where Camp No. 4 is located, the Norman army spent almost a week cleaning the battlefield and clearing the spoils. They seemed to have emptied the equipment and supplies in the camp, and then turned the abandoned mine into a abandoned place by blasting. After the Norman army left, the resistance organization carefully entered this area. They dug out dozens of corpses from the collapsed tunnels and found more than 40 victims in the burial site without tombstones. In this way, more than 200 people were still missing - according to common sense, they should have been captured and taken away by the Norman army.

After several days of searching, Weiss withdrew his manpower from the area where Camp No. 4 was located and instead focused on transporting supplies from the old camp to the new camp. During this difficult transition period, in order to avoid stimulating the Norman army, the resistance organization suspended all attacks and only conducted concealed reconnaissance and surveillance on the Normans. It turned out that the Norman army established a special prisoner of war camp in Somsonas City, and most of them were detained in civilian costumes.

The important discovery made Weis not happy at all, because he connected the key points before and after the incident and came to a terrible conclusion: his opponent was using various powerful means to reverse the advantages of the resistance organization "good time, place, and people", and forced himself to the abyss of despair step by step. Moreover, he set up the Military Governor's Office in Somsonas and concentrating the captured resisters there, in order to lure himself away?

The special prisoner-of-war camp established by the Normans in Somsonas included both houses for sheltering from wind and rain, as well as places for venting air. The situation of the captured resisters did not seem too bad. Weiss did not act rashly, but chose to wait and see. As he expected, the Norman army then raided the old camp of the resistance organization one after another. Thanks to the strategy of the hero's cut off his arm, the resistance organization only lost equipment and supplies, and there were basically no casualties or captures on the personnel. After some time, a member of the resistance organization who disappeared in the battle of Camp No. 4 strangely appeared in the mountains and forests near the old camp. After a guerrilla reconnaissance officer discovered his whereabouts, he took him to a new warning site after careful surveillance and exploration.

After hearing that someone brought Bella, Weiss rushed to the alert base. After meeting him, he learned that the Normans released him in order to let him "bring a message for the Imperial Army": War is a matter of soldiers and has nothing to do with civilians. As long as the Lorraines give up their force and accept the reality of the Norman army occupying Lorraine, the current strict control measures will be cancelled. The Lorraines can not only eat and wear warmth, but also enjoy the political freedom they have never really obtained in the Ulster Free Federation, and even form the Lorraines' own independent country...

After listening to the message brought by this man, Weiss remained silent for a long time, and then asked: "Did you see him? Do you know who he is?"

The speaker named Valleca looked at Weis with a strange look and replied in a deep tone: "Yes, I have seen and known them, and some older Somsonas people basically know him... He is a man who has returned from hell, and may no longer have his own soul, but one thing cannot be changed - he is your brother, the pride of the Klumber-Hisen family..."

The long-standing speculation finally confirmed, Weiss closed his eyes with despair. It is undoubtedly an extremely painful thing to be enemies of relatives on the battlefield. Even if he doesn't have to fight to the death, he cannot escape the troubles of all kinds of troubles and sorrows. He is even suspicious and criticized for this - at the least, his reputation will be damaged, and at the worst, all his previous efforts will be wasted.

"As you know, I am not a person who fears death. I just don't want to implicate my relatives. They have always lived in Somsonas, and have neither participated in the resistance movement nor defected to the Normans. They are just ordinary civilians... With his order, he could take their lives and make them safe. So, I accepted his conditions and sent him this message. I know that he sent someone to follow me and wanted to find your whereabouts from me. I did not let him do what I wish, which is also the last contribution I made to the resistance movement!"

Weiss nodded: "I can understand you, Valleca, thank you!"

The man sighed: "In addition, he asked me to send you a message that you must be in person and can only tell you... Although Bella was a little injured, she was not seriously injured. She is very safe now and does not need to be worried all day long. If you want to pick Bella away, you just need to go to the Military Governor's Office in Somsonas in person. It can be done at any time. He guarantees your absolute safety."

Weiss did not respond, but calmed down and thought about it carefully. Bella was his sister and Ze's sister. Even if he had a different position, he would not attack her - this is normal logic, but if he was controlled by others and did not really control the life and death power of those captured resisters, the situation would be less optimistic. Now, he sent someone a message, was he trying to find an opportunity to persuade him to surrender so that he could settle the resistance organization in the Lorrain area as soon as possible, or was he intentionally asked himself to take Bella away so that his younger sister would not encounter an accident? If it was the former, returning to Somsonas would be like throwing himself into the trap. Ze would most likely not let himself leave, but if it was the latter, he should rush back to Somsonas as soon as possible and try every means to rescue Bella.

Since the speaker had already expressed his position, Weiss thought hard and failed, he inquired about it: "What was his expression when he said this? What do you think he meant?"

The man hesitated for a moment and replied, "I can't tell whether he is happy or sad, sincere or hypocritical. He is completely different from the Ze-Krunker-Hesen I remember. Over the years, he may have experienced many things, so there have been great changes. Although you are brothers, in this situation, I think you must be cautious and not blindly believe in your past feelings."

Such an answer does not help to resolve Weiss' doubts, but through the speaker's description, he vaguely felt that Ze was suffering and hesitant deep in his heart, but this emotional factor may not be able to match rational thinking and the desire for power, glory and victory. After repeated thinking, he decided to let the speaker bring his message back - it is OK to make an appointment, but not in Somsonas, but on the lake near Klumber-Heisen Castle.

The appointment time is set at midnight three days later.

Three days are not enough to let the person who leads the conversation go back and forth, that is, this is a one-way invitation. No matter how the other party makes a decision, Weiss will appear at the agreed place at that point.

During these three days, Weiss asked the reconnaissance personnel to keep a close eye on the enemy movements in Somsonas City, and asked the members of the resistance organization to assemble the dismantled and concealed aircraft parts into a two-seater seaplane. Although there are no big rivers in the Lorraine Mountains, there are many lakes and ponds. When the flat grasses everywhere were peeped at or even damaged by the Normans, modifying the seaplane and taking off and landing in the water has become a new countermeasure that the resistance organization has hollowed out its mind.

Three days later, Weiss rode his horse to the forest lake more than 30 miles away from the new camp, sat in the open cockpit of the biplane, and waved farewell to his companions with a firm face. The roar of the plane engine broke the silence of the forest. Under the pilot of the Federal Army, it quickly rose into the night sky and flew towards Somsonas under the guidance of the stars in the sky. After half an hour of flight, a strange scene of stars flashing up and down appeared in front of him. The mountain lake adjacent to the Klumber-Hesen Castle was like a sapphire quietly placed on black velvet cloth, reflecting a dark and mysterious luster.

In this era without radar, night take-off and landing aircraft not only test the pilot's skills, but also have to have proper ground connections, otherwise it will be easy to destroy people. Weiss' message to the speaker did not reveal how he would come, but when the plane equipped with a buoy approached the Clumber-Heisen Castle, two searchlights suddenly lit up in the dark, but they did not hit the sky directly as usual, but were projected to the lake. Two nearly parallel beams of light just marked a water landing runway.

Seeing this, the pilot asked Weiss quickly: "Col. Do we still want to go down?"

Weis gritted his teeth: "Land as planned, do not turn off the engine after docking, and be prepared to evacuate at any time!"
