This little trick, which is not stunning, or even vulgar to the point of blood, is obviously the key factor in determining Stuart's final choice, so he suddenly heard Augustus point out the biggest concern in his heart, Stuart stared at Augustus closely, and almost blurted out to ask: "How did you learn about this?"

Augustus smiled and did not answer.

He knew very well that even Stuart might not be interested in the real answer to the question he had raised, for there was no real secret in the noble circles of the wasteland, and the reason why he had asked this question was only to ease his doubts. Indeed, after quickly adjusting his mood, Count Stuart, who was standing beside Augustus with his hand, suddenly fell silent, and then he looked at Augustus's relaxed face, and the not bright moonlight set off his already solemn expression more and more gloomy.

He said slowly: "Whatever your intentions may be in asking me out, I will still say the same thing, put away your boring little tricks, and I will quickly forget everything you have said as soon as I turn around, and of course, as a token of gratitude for your reminder, I will not accidentally remember this matter to let Arthras know, Augustus, I must tell you that even if Stuart were to die, he would definitely not stand behind Alfred as you wished." ”

Augustus frowned quietly, and frankly said that until now he did not know what kind of unforgettable hatred his father had with Stuart.

"It's really admirable, but how stupid does this have to be to have such a strong persistence?"

Stuart raised his eyebrows and smiled disdainfully, he no longer planned to continue to have a conversation with Augustus that could only be boring to him, turned around, bathed in darkness and left Augustus with a hard and straight back, he said in a deep voice: "I would rather die standing than live on my knees, this is the most ignorant belief of the Stuart family." ”

Then without further hesitation, he strode back to Alfred's castle without looking at Augustus one last time.

Augustus had a hard time reacting, not that he couldn't accept defeat, but the key was that he was rejected too simply.

"It seems that your petty attempt to divide Stuart and Arthras has been a complete failure. Térina, who has always quietly enjoyed Augustus's performance, habitually gloated over the well, and she sighed with empathy: "What can you do when you encounter such a fool? Don't be depressed Oh Augustus, believe your Majesty, this is really not your incompetence." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few words of effort anyway, success is good, failure is not a loss. ”

Augustus, who reacted, ignored Terina's taunt, shrugged his shoulders, put on his habitual smile again, and said: "Besides, it's not really a complete failure, although eighty percent of Stuart will not have estrangement and suspicion of Artelas now, but this mustard is buried after all, with Artelas's current extreme character, who dares to guarantee that this mustard seed buried in the heart of Count Stuart will not sprout and grow?"

"It's as cunning and stubborn as ever. ”

Little Lori pursed her lips, for Augustus's obscure little means this night, and also for Augustus's coffin.

......

The next day, ushered in the morning sun, Augustus ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and began to prepare for today's negotiations, according to his estimate, after a night of thinking, whether it was to agree to his conditions or reject his proposal, in short, Arthras should come up with the result, this process will definitely not be smooth, I believe that even if Arthras finally chooses to agree, he will try his best to strive for greater benefits for Sauron; 。

But when Arthras and Stuart appeared in the living room, he didn't wait for the surprise, but waited for the surprise that Arthras brought him.

He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and when he appeared in the living room of Alfred Castle, Arthras told Augustus with a solemn expression that he had just received the news that Francis seemed to be moving, and he and Stuart had to hurry back to deal with Francis's reaction; 。

Augustus looked at Arthras, who looked hurried, and in the end could not determine whether his hurry was real or fake.

Either way, Arthras and Stuart did come in a hurry, and left in a hurry the next morning.

Standing on the grass in front of Alfred's castle, watching Artelas sit back in the carriage and Stuart mount his warhorse, Augustus still felt that this was something that Artelas had designed at all.

Want to escape his fate of Sauron's throat being choked by Alfred?

Augustus sneered, and before Arteras's convoy completely disappeared from his sight, he immediately beckoned his knights and ordered: "Inform Lord Donald and tell him that his knights can go to Albasan to station, this is what Master Artelas promised." ”

The knight bowed and retreated.

Terina, who was standing beside Augustus, wondered, "Is this to assist Francis in declaring war on Sauron?"

"Of course not, as long as Arthras still has even the slightest bit of sanity, he will not dare to clash with Donald's knights head-on. After a slight pause, perhaps seeing that Terina didn't quite understand, Augustus added: "Albasan itself is the town that Donald and I are bound to get, if we can negotiate an amicable agreement and smoothly accept Albasan, of course, it is best, but if Arthras is unwilling, then Donald and I don't mind taking this town by force, as for whether there will be a war next, I am willing to believe that the old fox has a hundred ways to completely capture the small city of Albasan." ”

"In other words, Arthras in this town is willing to give, and if he is not willing to give, he has to give?"

Augustus looked in the direction in which the convoy had disappeared and nodded slightly.

Terina's small round eyes narrowed, it was too domineering.

......

So far.

Augustus's layout for the entire wasteland was completely laid, in the hinterland of the abandoned wasteland, in addition to the Donald family's interest, there may still be a trace of insignificant uncertainties, the former territory of the Christopher family has almost become a province within the Alfred family's territory, and as for Stephen, Fillos, Constance and other second-rate families, now they also maintain a very good friendship with Alfred, and even as long as Augustus needs it, they will not refuse to become Alfred's vassals- Looking further out, Augustus basically mastered one of the two passages connecting the Grand Canyon of the Holy Empire's Alps, which meant that in the future, whether he was engaged in smuggling business or building the customer source channels that his Dark Court must have, he had extremely stable fundamental conditions.

It can be said that as long as there is enough time, how far Alfred can go, that is something that no one dares to say easily, after all, Alfred is not only the most extensive family in the wasteland at present, but also the labor force he has is also the largest family in the wasteland.

The next thing Augustus had to do was to walk forward steadily and steadily.

This is the general pattern of the entire wasteland, and it is also the great goal that Augustus has been striving for for most of the year.

Of course, although the overall layout was realized one by one, the details also required Augustus not to relax.

However, this is not a matter of urgency, in fact, after Arthras and Stuart left, the most urgent thing in front of Augustus was about Elizabeth in the Empire, about the matter that Old Vernon had told him to deal with in the Empire when he left, so in the past few days, he decided to go to Augustus in the Empire, and officially began to deploy various matters in Alfred's territory after he left.

First of all, his idea of the dark capital, although people from all walks of life will not be able to find it for a while, but Augustus does not mind how many experienced Lady Mary began to implement the results of the two of them, in the city of Saiya in Alfred's territory, Lady Mary is also the treasurer, and Baron Marshall is responsible for supervising the construction, a project to completely change the image of the primitive tribe of the wasteland has begun to prepare in a huge way, Augustus will not have too much worry in this regard, after all, the finances held by Lady Mary are also forced by Augustus from her hands at the beginningThe 100,000 Bourbon gold coins he borrowed, and Marshall's whip to oversee them, Augustus was willing to believe that when he returned from the Empire, there would be a drastic change in Saiyan City.

Then there's the expansion of the Purple Iris Knight.

Spring is coming, the adventurers from the empire in the wasteland are becoming more and more crowded, taking advantage of this opportunity, Augustus asked his knight captain to continue to expand the Purple Iris Knights, and at the same time for the Purple Iris Reserve Knights also began to strengthen training, the requirements are not high, he hopes that when he returns, Katieeni can show him a Purple Iris Knights with a size of at least 300 people, at least 100 of them must have the strength of real knights, it is best to balance 3 professions, knights of guns, knights of swords, knights of archers, to be perfectly matched, not limp walking。

Katieani says it's not a big problem.

In the training ground of the Purple Iris Knight in Lorain Town, Augustus also specially visited Liszt, who had high expectations, during the time he returned from Christopher's territory, Liszt was arranged by Katieeni to carry out intensive training, and the effect was remarkable, when he first went to Christopher's territory, his level 2 fighting spirit had successfully reached level 3, and according to Katieeni, this demon child was not only diligent to the point of almost masochism, but also had a rare talent among civilians, give him time, his achievements will definitely not be lower than him, the knight leader。

Augustus didn't show too many surprises or surprises, he just called Liszt, he looked at this civilian child whose body was obviously much stronger and his skin was much darker, and faced the latter's calm expression, he thought for a while and said: "Originally, I planned to let you go to the empire with me, but this will inevitably delay your strength improvement, and I finally gave up my plan." ”

Liszt seemed a little surprised, and Augustus was particularly fond of him.

Augustus ignored his surprise and suddenly asked, "If success is laid by ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent talent, then tell me, which of the two factors do you think is more important?"

Without hesitation, Liszt showed his white teeth and gave Augustus a fresh answer that was unreasonable and unexpected: "It can only be talent, and the importance of one percent talent is far greater than the so-called ninety-nine percent sweat effort." ”

Without hiding his admiration at all, Augustus said softly: "So I hope you can cherish your talent and not be stingy with your sweat, so that you are the most responsible for your family." ”

Liszt was stunned for a moment, and then gave Augustus a nondescript aristocratic chest salute.

This shadow of Alfred's shadow in the future said seriously: "I hope that I will also be the most responsible for you in the future." (To be continued.)
