"Unexpectedly, Balaman's destination turned out to be the city of Madeya!" Higg was puzzled, "Didn't they form an alliance with Arad, what are they doing in the city of Madeya?" ”

"Hey, hey! This druid is a bit interesting, but the appetite is too great! Lu Fasi said, "First he was embarrassed with Arad, and then he came to the city of Madeya to have a private meeting with Auguston, and wanted to eat both sides, this abacus is really good!" ”

Higg asked, "You mean, Balamane is here to work with Auguston?" How is this possible, the druids and the elves have been enemies of each other for thousands of years, no matter how stupid Auguston is, it is impossible to cooperate with the druids without taking into account the feelings of all the forest people, what is the difference between this and betraying the country? ”

"You're right!" "But the best way for a druid to maximize his interests is to work with Auguston!" Of course, it is best for Auguston to agree to cooperate, and if he does not agree to cooperate, he can also disrupt the current game of chess in the forest country and make Auguston have some scruples! ”

Higg wondered: "Since the druid first formed an alliance with Arad, and now secretly contributes to Auguston, is he not afraid that the matter will be exposed and he will turn against Arad?" What exactly did the druid want to do, what do you say about his collaboration with Auguston, what are the benefits? ”

Lufasi said, "Think about it, what would the druids gain if they formed an alliance with Arad? That is to divide the existing population resources of the elves! The current territory of the forest country is borrowed from Alahia, if the forest country is destroyed, it is impossible for Arad not to recover this territory, then the druid will only get population resources, and his territory will not expand. After destroying the Forest Country, the druids will directly border Erathia, which means that they have one more strong neighbor, what good will this do for themselves? ”

Higg nodded and continued to ask, "But what benefits will the druids get from cooperating with Auguston?" ”

Lu Faxi smiled: "The druids have occupied the territory of the former forest country for thousands of years and achieved the establishment of the country, because of the existence of the elven king, their national status has never been recognized by the various forces of the countries of Middle-earth, and for the countries of Middle-earth, they are just the existence of a big force. It is unlikely that the countries of Middle-earth will have much to do with this power that has relied on the success of the rebellion to establish a new state, because every country has more or less factors of political instability, and recognizing the establishment of the Druids is equivalent to contributing to the legitimacy of the hidden forces in their own countries! Therefore, the druid's biggest demand now is not how much population resources he gets, but the legal status of his country. Now the main purpose of the cooperation between the druids and Augustons is to get Auguston, the elven king, to recognize the legitimacy of the druid kingdom. ”

Higg was even more puzzled: "After the Druid and Arad successfully eliminated the Forest Country, it is impossible for Arad not to recognize the Druid's statehood?" What is the difference between this and Auguston's admission? ”

"Hmph, you are still in command of the side, I can't see this clearly!" Lufasi scoffed, "Who is Arad? Arad also relied on rebellion to become king, and his own legitimacy was questionable, so why did he recognize the druid as a legitimate state, and the countries of Middle-earth would follow suit? Although the forest country is weak, but after all, the status of the elven king is transcendent, and the countries of Middle-earth will never ignore their existence because of the weakness of the forest country, and in this regard, Auguston's recognition of the legitimacy of the druid is much more justified than Arad's recognition! ”

Higg nodded and said, "I see! Eh, it's all about fame! ”

"It's worth fame!" Lufasi continued, "But there are many fools in the druids, and they don't know the truth of the cold lips and teeth! With the Forest Nation as a barrier between Erathia and the Druids, the Druids are much less stressed and do not have to face the powerful oppression of Erathia directly. As long as the Elven King recognizes the legitimacy of the Druids, I believe that the Druids will be willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and even help when the Forest Kingdom falls! A thousand years ago, when the druids were at the height of their power, they were not able to confront Erathea, and finally accepted the mediation of Erathia and divided the buffer zone of the Silent Forest, not that they could not destroy the Elven King at that time, but that the Elven King was still useful to them! The Forest Nation has been friends with Alasia for generations, and if the druids really destroy the Elven King, they will definitely be the sworn enemies of the Alasia Empire, and the gains outweigh the losses! It is easy to destroy a country, but you also have to prevent yourself from being destroyed by others, which not only depends on strength, but also on strategy! ”

Higg said: "So, if Auguststone and the druids succeed in their cooperation, it is highly likely that Auguststone will quickly put down the rebellion and form a confrontation with Arad? ”

"Most likely!" "But Auguston wasn't stupid, he knew the price he had to pay!" First of all, he will not be able to explain the legitimacy of the Druid State in front of his own people! ”

Higg said: "If Auguston does not agree, the druid can coerce and lure and send troops at the same time as Arad to disrupt his counterinsurgency process and put Auguston in danger of losing his country!" Auguston doesn't have many options, and it's very likely that he will work with the druids for the time being! No, I can't get Auguston to work with the druids! ”

"What are you going to do?" Lu Fasi said in surprise, "Auguston does not cooperate, there is only one way to die!" ”

"Hey, hey! I'm just going to let Auguston die! Higg gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"What?" Lufasi couldn't believe his ears, "You have a grudge against Arad, a grudge against the druids, and a grudge against Auguston?" Shouldn't you be helping the Forest Nation and saving Auguston from being flanked by the druids and Arad? ”

"I'm here to help the Forest Nation, not Auguston!" Higg sneered, "Balaman is looking for his own death, so it's no wonder I'm not going to blame!" ”

"You're going to assassinate Balamane again?" Lufasi exclaimed, "You have been following me from Camillo Province to here, and you have endured so many opportunities to do things on the road!" If you have a grudge against Auguston, why do you want to act on his turf, and if you are caught, wouldn't it be very dangerous? ”

"Hehe, I'm just going to do it on Auguston's territory, so that Auguston himself can't get out of it!" Higg laughed, "This will not only avenge Balaman's poisoning of me, but also blame Auguston, hahaha, it's impossible for the druids to not send troops to deal with Auguston!" ”

"Huh!" Lu Fasi sighed, "With you, I am worried every day, I am in danger everywhere, and I don't have a peaceful day for a moment, with you, I am unlucky!" ”

"I'll do this, you must not let Jesse and Owen know!" Higg said, "Now that the situation is tense, you stay in the merchant house and don't go anywhere!" ”

……

The west street of the royal city of Madeya is the place where the princes and important ministers live, and the officials who come from other places to report their work will generally stay in the Anju inn here, one is relatively close to the palace and other yamen, and secondly, it is also a symbol of status, which is convenient to make friends with important government officials, and more importantly, it is heavily guarded here, and the public security situation is good, and it is quite safe.

"Lord Balaman, there's a man out there who claims to be Angela asking to see you!" In the upper room on the second floor of the Anju Inn, the guard said to Balaman.

"Angela?" Balamane asked, confused, "Who is it?" ”

"He won't say it, but judging from the way he dresses, he looks like the son of a prince and nobleman!"

"Nonsense! Before I met Auguston, I didn't want to see anyone, otherwise I would leave the handle of my personal friends, and things would be difficult for me to do! You go and reply to him, saying that this seat is tired and has fallen asleep, and we will talk about it tomorrow! Balaman's face was full of doubt, and he was full of confidence that he had thought that Augustine would meet him immediately, but he did not expect to touch his nose. Not only did Augustine not receive him, but he even sent someone to receive him, which was an insult to himself. From this point of view, there is still a lot of resistance from the forest country to itself, and its task will be difficult. Now this man named Angela took the initiative to find himself, what is the matter, Augustine has treated himself like this, and which prince and important minister in the city of Madeya dares to visit him at night, not afraid of being accused of fornicating with foreign enemies?

"Yes, sir!" The guard responded, turning and walking towards the door.

"Slow!" Balaman hesitated, anyway, things are already not easy to do, maybe this is a breakthrough, since the other party has the courage to see himself, he doesn't even have the guts? No matter how bad your situation is, how bad can it be, it's better to take a step at a time and talk about it.

Balamane then said to the guards, "Prepare tea, I want to see a guest!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The guard turned and went downstairs.

……

"Lord Balamane is really admirable, and in such a situation, he dares to meet guests late at night!" Higg walked into the room with a smile and said casually.

Balaman carefully looked at the richly dressed young man in front of him, who indeed looked like the son of a prince and nobleman, and even his every move was like a gentleman, "Mr. Angela dares to visit late at night, what is there to dare to see in this seat?" I don't know if Mr. Angela is looking for this seat, what advice do you have? ”

"Haha, don't you dare!" Higg smiled, "Before the next adventure, I naturally wanted to solve problems for adults!" ”

"Hahaha! What worries do I have that Mr. Angela cares so about? Balamane laughed.

"Hahaha, if you want to form an alliance with Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy!" Higg also laughed and said, "Your Excellency has no foundation in Madeya, and no one speaks for your lordship, so you dare to come and mention the matter of the alliance, what a big laugh!" I wanted to help adults, but they didn't seem to be happy! ”

"Hahaha! Mr. Angela has followed me all the way from Yorktown to this seat, and I don't mention anything about helping on the way, but it seems a little puzzling to say such things at this time! Balamane said, his eyes glaring fiercely at Higg.
