The only one who can save himself is himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Augustus had experienced countless conspiracies and tricks in his previous life, and the environment of that world was not at all comparable with the environment at this time, but for Augustus, who had always been extremely paranoid, there was one thing that remained the same, that is, everything must be in his own hands to the greatest extent; Augustus was also categorically not going to hand over anything that would affect his fate to anyone but him.

While this level of paranoia may be overstated, it is indeed the most unbreakable foundation of Augustus' worldview of life.

That is to say, it is not difficult to make a decision, Augustus hesitated because he was very aware of his identity at this time and the circumstances of this life, and he could not make a decision rashly according to the character of his previous life, because on his shoulders, in addition to him, there was also his Alfred, and Elizabeth behind him.

He was silent and looked back at Elizabeth, who was still standing quietly behind him.

Elizabeth's eyes were already full of admiration, and she could not even believe that her brother, who had been quite powerful in the realm of fighting spirit, was so powerful when he played with these aristocratic methods.

Poor Elizabeth, she could not have imagined that in the next moment her brother would most likely take her with him to the abyss of hell and never return.

Augustus finally smiled at his sister, and then turned around, his fingers that were silently flicking the table stopped abruptly, he looked at the Marquis of Sauron with a calm face on the other side, and said expressionlessly: "I absolutely agree that the Northern Lich is the sword of Damocles on our heads, and I also know very well that the Lich threatens the life and death of the vast majority of those here, including Alfred, so I can't be selfish in the attack on Alfred during this period." The nobles were completely surprised by Augustus's words, and even Elizabeth behind Augustus was stunned, but Augustus just calmly continued: " I have only one request, and if Alfred fulfills the responsibilities assigned to him by the Conference and survives, then I hope that the Conference will give me a reasonable account of the attack on Alfred; ”

The room was in an uproar again.

The unexpected arrival of young Alfred at the helm has brought a lot of surprises and surprises.

Earl Stuart and Count Francis sneered secretly, if Donald's attitude was Alfred's last straw, then this stupid kid could just pass by his 1 in 10,000 chance of survival, as for the thing he said about him surviving the attack on Alfred's murderer, Stuart and Francis didn't even think about it, and Alfred definitely had no chance of survival.

Christopher also had a complicated expression, completely puzzled by Augustus's decision, wasn't Donald's olive branch what he desperately needed, and why did he give up?

On the contrary, the old Earl Donald, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was not the slightest so-called ridicule and so-called complicated emotions in his eyes, but there was only appreciation.

A qualified nobleman, on the premise that he has no use value, if he easily accepts the kindness of another nobleman, then he must not be far from death.

Many nobles know this truth, but there are really not many who can do it in the face of temptation, especially since this is just a child, or a child in a desperate situation.

Sauron didn't agree immediately, his expression on his face did not change, but his heart was really not calm, he thought that Augustus had successfully provoked Christopher and Donald, and the idea was to fight for him Alfred's life, but Augustus's reaction at this time was to simply and sharply overturn his speculation, so what was everything he had laid down before? Why could he give up the only chance to survive so indifferently?

Is it just a trick?

I can't figure it out, Sauron just doesn't think about it, in the dictionary of the Sauron family, there is decisiveness, killing and prudence, but there is no hesitation, since I don't know what this kid has intentions, then just wait and see, Sauron will never think that this kid can jump out of his control, even if he is lucky enough to avoid the lich trend, no matter how good his skills are, he Alfred does not have the power to resist after all.

In the face of absolute power, the so-called means can only be a woman who has taken off her robe.

He smiled and said appreciatively: "Thank you Augustus for your understanding and tolerance, rest assured, after the lich, the council will do its best to find the murderer who attacked Alfred, and Sauron will definitely do his best, this is Sauron's promise." ”

"I believe in your commitment. ”

Augustus seemed to have successfully completed an important task, he looked much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Then let's move on to the second topic, which should be to discuss the route of retreat?"

Perhaps no one realized that Augustus, including Augustus, was probably just so accustomed to presiding over the meetings in his previous life that he had done everything at his own pace, so that he had overlooked that the words should have been announced by the Marquis of Sauron, who presided over the meeting.

Sauron was stunned, but didn't care, just smiled and didn't speak.

Theoretically, the meeting had nothing to do with Alfred at this point, because the next thing to discuss was the route for the families to leave their fiefdoms and retreat to the Sauron fiefdoms in the rear of the wasteland: it was a huge project, and all the family owners, as well as the rich and poor in the family fiefs, The untouchables, as far as possible to migrate to the Sauron fiefdom, empty the area bordering the lich, it is impossible to complete it without a period of time, especially in the process of migration, these families may have conflicts with each other, old grudges and other problems, at this time of year, the nobles who participated in the meeting will fight for this red-faced, climax, and then can come up with a relatively speaking, most people can accept the result.

So, no matter which way you look at it, this has nothing to do with the families who are responsible for resisting the Lich invasion and will not participate in the retreat at all, like Alfred this year, all he needs to do is to arrange defenses in the vacuum area left behind after the retreat of the families, and try his best to drag the Lich's footsteps as much as possible, so as to buy time for those who failed to retreat in the first place.

Augustus understood this, and he seemed to be planning to leave.

The nobles looked at Augustus with different expressions, and they all felt that this person who had brought so many accidents was finally going to get out, and it would be forever.

Augustus also turned his head to look at his sister, smiled slightly, and motioned for the latter to help him push the wheelchair, as if there was no more so-called accident.

However, just as Elizabeth pulled his wheelchair out, only an arm's length away from the conference round table, Augustus suddenly motioned for his sister to pause, smiled and spoke again, "I suddenly remembered that it is said that every year during the Great Migration of the Wasteland, each family will lose a considerable amount of resources and food on the civilians? If that's the case, then you will go to great lengths to help me find out the truth about Alfred's attack after the lich retreats, so allow me to make a request to the meeting. ”

"This request is that when the council decides on the retreat routes of each family, it is possible to arrange the retreat routes of all civilians within my Alfred's fiefdom, and I guarantee that any civilians who pass through Alfred's fiefdom will have enough food to eat, anyway, Alfred's reserves are likely to be plundered by the lich, and it is better to use them all on the people of my wasteland, which is also Alfred's greatest support for the meeting. ”

The conference room was suddenly plunged into an eerie dead silence.

Is this because he felt that the pace of his Alfred's death was not fast enough?

Christopher was dumbfounded, and all the grown-ups, including Donald, Sauron, and even Augustus' sister Elizabeth, were completely petrified.

The common thoughts they had at this time may also be the only tacit understanding that these people have rare in their lives.

Has this poor child been driven crazy by the abyss of despair?
