The sudden arrival of Augustus was really a bit unexpected for Viscount Lane.

Especially when the other party actually said that he would help Viscount Ryan to support those civilians in the Steel City.

Viscount Ryan was even more unexpected, and some didn't quite understand what Augustus wanted to do?

Or, what did Augustus, an old monster who had followed the first generation of holy witches, want to get?

See Augustus's strange face, and the hideous and twisted smile on his face.

Viscount Ryan finally couldn't help but ask, "I want to know, what reward do you want for doing this?"

"Is it paid?" Augustus' smile widened, and the smile that bloomed made his face even more hideous.

laughed for a moment, laughing so hard that the Horn father and son were a little furious, and Viscount Lane was also frowning, and his whole body was tense and vigilant.

Finally, Augustus said bluntly: "The reward is very simple, that is, after getting rid of those nobles and making you successfully establish a state, you must accept that there must be a place for the commoners in your territory." ”

Viscount Ryan was stunned again, he still didn't expect Augustus to have such a request, and he didn't quite understand what Augustus's intentions were?

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and Augustus continued: "Why? You dare not agree to such a small request?"

Viscount Ryan looked at Augustus, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you really want? You don't really just want to fight for that kind of power for civilians, do you?"

The smile on Augustus' face faded, and he said with great seriousness: "It's simple, I just want to fight for the commoners their rightful place. ”

"In the history of the Solar Empire, and indeed the entire Western Continent, the common people have always been in a humble position. ”

"The status of our common class, whether it is any kingdom or empire, is at the bottom, so we need to improve our status. ”

Viscount Lane's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, and he looked at Augustus and asked, "So, what kind of promotion do you want?"

Augustus said seriously: "It's not that I want it, but what kind of promotion do you want to give to those civilians outside?"

"They worked hard for you, helped you take control of the viscounty, and recognized you as a state, shouldn't you give them something?"

Viscount Ryan lowered his head and fell silent, such a question he had never thought about before today.

But now that Augustus asked him like this, he had to think about it and make some careful calculations.

Seeing that Viscount Lane fell silent, Augustus said: "Okay, it looks like you need some time to think about it, give you two days, and after two days I hope you can give us a clear and satisfactory answer." ”

With that, Augustus' legs naturally folded, and the mechanical body spewed steam, dragging his seemingly heavy body up.

Seeing Augustus swaggering away, Viscount Lane and Father Horn never dared to stop him.

When the other party disappeared and waited for a while, Old Horn couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, do you really want to agree to a compromise?"

Viscount Lane turned his head to look at Old Horn and asked, "So, what do you think I should choose?"

"Do you want to take my own people and fight hard, even at the expense of offending the civilian faction and suppressing those civilian factions?"

"Or do you agree to Augustus's conditions, and let the plebeians help us pacify the viscountate, and gain the support of the people to establish a state?"

Old Horn was instantly stopped by Viscount Lane, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer?

The master and servant were silent for a long time, and for a moment neither master nor servant could think of a better way.

In the current turbulent situation, if such an opportunity is missed, once the empire recovers, I am afraid that there will be no chance.

The opportunity is right in front of us, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that the Lane family has been looking forward to for years.

How could Viscount Ryan not be impressed, how could he not want to reap the fruits of his dreams?

Even if it is to give some status to the common people, even to recognize the power of the people, as long as it can win the support of the people, it can truly establish a country.

After pondering for a long time, when Viscount Lane was about to make a final decision, Little Horn spoke: "Sir, in fact, you can agree to Augustus's request, give those commoners the power they want, and even after dealing with the nobles, hand over your country to the commoners to take care of, and let them become the state administrators on the surface." ”

Hearing his son say this, Old Horn was really taken aback, and immediately scolded: "Shut up, you son of a bitch, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

But Viscount Lane thought carefully at this time, but stopped old Horn's reprimand, and said to little Horn: "You go on." ”

With Viscount Lane's permission, little Horn glanced at his father again.

The latter also shouted in a low voice: "What do you see? ”

Little Horn continued: "Sir, power is what everyone wants, and the greater the power, the more many people expect to get it, but those who get power will inevitably make mistakes. ”

"You leave your power in the hands of the civilians to run it, and you sit behind the scenes and control the situation. ”

"Those civilians will inevitably fight for power, and when the time comes, you will secretly attack and gather a group of people, and the country will naturally be yours. ”

Viscount Ryan narrowed his eyes, pondered carefully and muttered, "You mean, the country is mine, give power to those civilians?"

Little Horn nodded: "Yes, whoever among the civilians comes out to power, they must swear allegiance to you." ”

Viscount Ryan thought about it carefully, and his eyes gradually brightened: "Hehehe, good, good, this method is very interesting." ”

Instead, Viscount Lane looked at little Horn again and asked, "You didn't just come up with this idea, did you?"

Little Horn hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said with some trepidation: "Back to the sir, this method is actually what Murray told the villain." ”

"Murray told you?" Viscount Lane suddenly looked very bad, "You mean, that Murry kid asked you to tell me this?"

When Old Horn heard this, he directly reprimanded: "You son of a, you dare to listen to other people's calls casually, have you forgotten your identity? ”

Seeing that old Horn had already raised his arm, he was going to slap his son to death on the spot.

Viscount Lane stopped Old Horn again: "Wait a minute, let him finish his words, what else did Murry ask you to convey to me?"

Little Horn replied without humility or arrogance: "What Lord Murray means is that if you really want to build a country, then you need the support of the people, and it is imperative to get the support of the people. ”

Viscount Ryan muttered, "It seems that that kid has already calculated everything and knows my predicament. ”

Suddenly, Viscount Lane questioned Little Horn: "In this way, the eldest lady was not able to get out of the darkness, is it because of him?"

Little Horn nodded without denial: "Yes, Lord Murray said that you must be forced to make a choice. ”

"Rebel, you dare to collude with outsiders to calculate the lord, I, I have to kill you. Old Horn was furious.

But Viscount Lane finally stopped old Horn, took a deep look at little Horn and said, "Okay, you all stand down, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer in two days." ”

When the father and son left, old Horn couldn't help but glance back, feeling that Viscount Lane suddenly seemed to be much older.
