Before returning to Middle-earth, Donner had already considered the balance of power between the Wizarding Continent, Middle-earth, the Knights' Federation, and the Far North. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Lisa once asked him, if the Magic Continent relinquished control of Middle-earth, would the Knights Federation still stand idly by?

At that time, Donner's idea was to seek a brief alliance with the Knight Federation when the Magic Continent was dominant, which had been suppressed by the Magic Continent for thousands of years, and had lost a Holy Order power in the Great War three thousand years ago, and would definitely be willing to conclude such an alliance.

Paladin Lion Patin and Rosenknight Ceosais have helped him to prove this - they want to use the native power of Middle-earth to break the unbreakable world pattern.

But in fact, after thoroughly understanding the power layout of this world, Donner felt that whether it was the mad king Doro in the Solomon Islands five thousand years ago (Donner remembered, Gernada told him that the mad king had the power close to the Holy Order, and there was no such powerful knight in Middle-earth), the paladin Reinhardt three thousand years ago, or the current lion Patin, their motives were probably not so simple.

Simply thinking that they want to liberate Middle-earth is obviously wishful thinking.

Donner was grateful for the help of Patin the Lion and the Rosenknight, but out of reason, he had to be wary of them.

However, these ideas were formed when Donner was in the Magical Continent, and the plans that Donner had carried out so far were based on these premises.

However, he had just been reminded by Wesley that he remembered that there was a hole in his analysis - Donner had known that the Crystal resources were close to depletion before returning to Middle-earth, but he didn't know that the dwarves themselves were well aware of it.

A year ago, when Cynthia told him the news, he was shocked by the other party's honesty, and he didn't think of the crux of the problem - the Knight Federation borders the Far North Country, and there is no natural barrier between the two places for high-ranking knights, and the dwarves and knights are at least nominally allies, all of which point to a conclusion: the news that the magic crystal is about to dry up cannot be blocked in the territory of the Far North Country.

At least the top forces of the Knight Federation already know, or are about to know!

The depletion of magic crystals is bound to be a disaster for the Magic Continent, and it is also a huge challenge to the survival of the Far North Country, but for the Knight Federation, it is an opportunity that has been waiting for thousands of years.

Without the Magic Crystal, the Magic Continent would have no point in controlling Middle-earth, and once they withdrew their hands from Middle-earth, there would be no doubt that it would become a vassal of the Knights' Federation.

In other words, the Great War of the Civil and Southern War, which Downer expected twenty years later, will most likely not happen!

Because in the face of the provocation of the Magic Continent, the Knight Federation didn't have to pay attention to it at all, as long as they hid under the North Fall Cliff and suffered a possible food crisis, they could wait until the Magic Continent took the initiative to abandon Middle-earth.

No, no, no, Lisa said, Sandru the Dragon Rider started this war with a deeper intention behind it. Before that, Donner had always thought that his plot should be: to take the opportunity of sending troops to Middle-earth to divert the forces that support the Holy See, so as to launch a surprise attack on the Holy See and use the supreme power of the Magic Continent - Donner was not worried about this, but wanted to borrow Sandru's hand to see Jingwei's hole cards.

But now it seems likely that the reasons are more complicated.

He still remembers an incident seven years ago, when Adarua overheard that Natia Vader had been lurking by a magician named Lilia (see the end of chapter 45).

Although the mage was later disposed of, neither Natia nor Adarua knew who had sent her.

Donner had a possibility in mind. The Holy See has a Shadow Blade in Middle-earth, and doesn't Sandru have eyeliner in Middle-earth?

If there were, Sandru wouldn't care about any leaks of the True Elements (the Holy See cared because the Doctor wanted to leave Donner with a sufficient number of ordinary people), but would focus on the connection between the Far North and the royal family of Middle-earth, so as to keep an eye on the direction of the Crystal.

And Lilia is the dwarf ambassador lurking in the Far North!

Lilia will never be the only one with such eyeliner, so could it be that Sandru has actually known the news that the magic crystal is about to dry up?

Donner frowned and pondered, what would Sandru do if he knew the news?

Thinking of this, Donner suddenly realized that everything Sandru did pointed to one conclusion - he did know the news!

This war is a ploy to kill two birds with one stone!

Going back to the question just now, if Sandru knew the news, he would have at least two intentions:

One, since there are no magic crystals in the Far North Country, the only place in this world where you can get a large number of magic crystals is the Holy See. Therefore, Sandru really wants to use the name of war to divert the forces that support the Holy See (at least to transfer the legendary mages of the Blue Sacred Academy), but the purpose is not power, but the magic crystal of the Holy See.

Donner knew he wouldn't succeed, and that Jingwei, as a watchdog sent by the Illuminati civilization, should not be able to wipe out the entire race (otherwise there would be no need to protect the Doctor), but a Legendary Mage would not pose any threat to it (Jingwei is not afraid of psychic magic, so Sandru is not much different from other Legendary Mages in front of him).

In fact, according to Donner's opinion, it is impossible for Sandru to get the opportunity to connect with the Near Guard, and the only thing he can do is to cut off the wings of the Holy See outside the Bright Holy Mountain, and this just helped Donner.

Second, Sandru didn't know if the magic crystals were still there, because the devil knew if the Holy See would have dedicated the magic crystals to the god of light through some ritual - there were no atheists in this land. So, Sandru should have an alternative: what if it was no longer possible to get the Crystal?

With Sandru's strength, longevity and news network, his judgment of the world situation will not be worse than that of Downer. In other words, he should have seen the plans of the Knight Federation clearly.

Therefore, the purpose of this war is also clear - Sandru wants to use this war to eliminate the threat of the Knights' Federation and clear the way for himself to retreat.

This will be a war of complete asymmetry of information, and Downer, because of his detailed knowledge of the Holy See, is already on the winning side of the information war.

In Donner's opinion, it was completely impossible for Sandru to get those crystals from the Jingwei, and the best outcome for him to attack the Holy See was to survive - this is very likely, as mentioned earlier, Sandru could not be an atheist, and under the pressure of the God of Light, he would let those eager pawns (such as Rosenlega) test first.

Then, Sandru had only one way left to retreat to Middle-earth.

If these reasonings are not wrong (and Donner feels ninety percent sure), there is a good chance that the Knights Federation will make a fatal mistake: they will underestimate the resolve of the Magic Continent.

That's right, for Sandru, after losing the possibility of exchanging magic crystals, the grain of Middle-earth will be of no value to him, and it is not surprising that he will do anything in order to suffocate the Knight Federation.

Even, Sandru may take advantage of the judgment error of the Knight Federation to boil a frog in warm water. By the time the paladins discover that his true purpose is not to punish but to completely invade Middle-earth, Middle-earth and the Knights' Federation will probably be starving.

At this point, Donner can see clearly how serious the crisis in front of him is.
