After shaking hands, Gaudus said, "Since we have decided to cooperate, I would like to find out... Maybe the question is a bit acute, but I really don't mean to be offended. How big is the difference in strength between you and Matthew? ”

Caesar smiled bitterly and said, "Although with my father's support, I have more and more chips, and my connections have also improved greatly, but if I start a war now, my chances of winning... It's not big. ”

"So on the whole, you're on the downside, right?"

"Yes, at least the military power I have in Turin is inferior to that of Matthew."

Gao Duos thought carefully for a moment and said, "In that case, why not leave this place of right and wrong?" Turin is already a dangerous swamp, and just a few dead men can threaten your life. Go back to your territory, Marseille, and keep going, at least your personal safety will be guaranteed, won't you? ”

Caesar shook his head and said, "You're right, I'll be safe to do this, but this would be tantamount to giving up Turin to Matthew, which cannot be tolerated!" Turin is the heart of Savoy, with the Plain of Turin and the Forest of Turin to the east, and Cadelzan to the west, which is Matthew's domain! And if you go north, you can enter the Hengduan Mountains, and my brother, McQueen's territory, Hengduan Pass, is located there! And if you go south, it is my territory, the city of Marseille. ”

Gao Duos couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "In other words, controlling Turin is equivalent to indirectly controlling the three important places of Turin's Forest, Kadelzan, and Hengduan Pass?" ”

Caesar laughed: "That's right, once Turin falls into the hands of Matthew, then at least Turin and Kadelzan will be under his control, these two cities are each other's horns, and they can rush to each other's aid, and if Matthew wants, he can use these two cities as a starting point, he can directly attack Marseille from the north and northwest, and at that time, Marseille will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, and even have the danger of falling." ”

Then, he said with some melancholy: "What's more, the little princess Belia also lives here, and I can't let her face all this alone." ”

Hearing this, Gaudus couldn't help but be deeply moved.

"So, even though I don't have any military power in Turin, and I don't have the same connections as Matthew, I'm still going to be here, and no matter what, I have to fight for Turin."

Hearing this, Gao Duosi couldn't help but admire Caesar's courage, daring to leave his base and come to this Longtan tiger's den alone, if it weren't for the really courageous politicians and generals, they wouldn't have been able to do this.

He sighed, "You made the right choice, but what are your plans for next?" ”

"My plan is simple, it's to increase my stacks. In the last month or so, my father has handed over the military authority of many troops to me, such as the Praetorian Guard, such as the seven-man mage army, and I expect that in the coming period, my father will give me more power. ”

"Why did the Earl give you power? What is the basis for judgment? ”

Caesar looked at Gados helplessly and smiled bitterly, as if Gados's question had poked at his sadness again.

"The reason why my father did this was to consolidate his power."

"I see."

Gaudus understood.

The old earl was old, but in a high position, and his two sons were so good, in order to secure this position, it was natural that they should fight each other and keep their strength close to balance.

Therefore, he will always delegate power to Caesar, and maybe he will not have time to deprive some of the powers that belong to Matthew, and this action will continue until the day when the strength of his two sons is approaching.

This is the balance game that the superior likes to play the most, ostensibly to delegate power, but in fact, to consolidate his own power. Only when the people under him fight endlessly will their position of power be truly solid, reliable and secure.

"It is precisely because of this that there is only one thing I have to do, and that is to wait, waiting for my father to hand over more and more power to me, of course, I can't wait meaninglessly, I need to win the support of more people in the process of waiting."

Gaudus nodded in agreement.

He thought about it for a moment, and a bold idea suddenly occurred in his heart.

If they can be won over and the two sides can reach a cooperation, then it will be beneficial to everyone.

However, this idea is too bold.

Looking at the unpredictable expression on Gados's face, Caesar asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Gaudus carefully organized his words for a long time before he said, "I know a hidden tribe, and if we can win them over, then our strength will be greatly increased. ”

"There is such a force? Tell me, who are they? ”

Gaudus was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't share their information with you, because they like to escape from the world, they live in very secret places, and we are very good friends, and I don't want to get them involved in this vortex without their knowledge." ”

A trace of regret flashed in Caesar's eyes, then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is that so?" That's okay, you've shown enough candour. Respect your decision. ”

Gao Duosi thought for a moment and said, "But this matter is not without workarounds. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"If I may," said Gaudos, "I would like you to write a letter informing them of your situation and asking for their help, and I can send this letter to them, so that you can have an initial contact." In this way, they may be willing to get to know you better. ”

Taking up the words of Gaudus, Caesar continued: "And then, when we get to know each other more deeply, until we know each other very well, we can negotiate, and after the negotiation is reached, I pay some price, and they may send troops to my aid, right?" ”

Surprised by Caesar's intelligence, Gaudus nodded, "Exactly." ”

Caesar thought for a long time and said, "Can you give me a pen and paper?" ”

After receiving the pen and paper, Caesar wrote a letter and handed it to Gados, saying, "Help me pass it on to them, please." ”

Gaudos nodded and accepted the letter.

When he heard the good news from Gados, Caesar's mood immediately became cheerful. He opened the hardcover package he had brought and said, "Anyway, thank you for your help." I know you're a necromancer, and I think you'll be interested in that. ”

With that, he smiled mysteriously, and then handed him an ancient scroll with a simple style, as if it had come from antiquity.

Looking at the mysterious expression on Caesar's face, Gados was a little puzzled, he took the scroll and unfolded it.

In the first line of the scroll, he sees 4 Sandru hieroglyphs.

[Awakening of the Heroic Spirit].
