Chapter 215: Ambition
No matter how angry and unwilling he was, Arthras finally fell into Augustus's rhythm, he thought about countless possibilities, and finally realized that unless he was willing to give up his hatred for Francis, it was completely impossible for him to get rid of Augustus's layout, which made him annoyed and helpless, how could he easily put him in such a situation when he was not necessarily a clever means? He looked at Augustus, who was confronting Earl Douglas in the canyon, and once again realized how obscure the heart hidden in the latter's young body was, he took a deep breath, quickly gave up struggling, and began to adjust his mentality.

He wasn't an indecisive person in the first place.
Since it would take a long time for the extremely weakened Sauron to return to the top, and cutting off Francis's head was something he couldn't wait to do, then of course he knew how to choose, besides, he and Alfred of Augustus actually had no irreconcilable conflicts, even if they cooperated with him this time?
Having decided, Arthras turned around and instructed his butler Dimmit to have the knights of Sauron's castle come as soon as possible.
Dimmit's a little surprised that his marquis really intended to cooperate with the damned Alfred, he was angry and couldn't believe it, but he couldn't resist Arteras's determination, so when he casually looked at Augustus in front of him, his eyes could no longer hide his hatred and hatred- In fact, in the turmoil of Francis's betrayal of Sauron, many Sauron servants, led by Demet, transferred their hatred to Alfred, and they stubbornly believed that it was the damned Alfred brothers and sisters who deceived their young master, which caused Arthras to leave Sauron Castle with hundreds of knights, creating an opportunity for Francis to betray.
Augustus also knew this.
He turned around when he noticed the hostile look behind him, but of course he ignored Sauron's servants, nor did he take their hatred to heart, but instead looked at Arthras and asked strangely, "What needs to be done is almost done, why do you need to transfer the knight at this time?"
Arthras frowned, equally strange: "Don't you think this is the best opportunity? The powerful people in the empire who support Douglas have not yet come, and the terrain here completely restricts the play of the Douglas Knights, as long as I entangle the remnants of Francis, with your strength, even if you don't bury Douglas here all at once, you can at least pull out his teeth, right?"
It seems that he made the right choice.
Augustus was amazed in his heart, and although he knew that it was impossible to let go of the hatred of Arthras, he still did not expect him to decide so quickly and so simply.
He became more and more convinced that if he was given enough time and conditions, young Arthras would definitely go far.
He shook his head and said, "No, I didn't plan to fight Douglas here, you should know that my real enemy is not him, if it's just a Douglas, why should I spend so much effort to drag you into the water." ”
Referring to the imperial magnates behind Douglas?
Arthras looked at Augustus with some amusement: "You mean you have to wait for the arrival of the people behind Douglas?Augustus, Augustus, I have the impression that you should not be arrogant to the point of stupidity, do you really think that we in the wasteland can compete with the magnates of the Empire? Especially since I heard that your enemies also include one of the most potential heirs of the Herman family, one of the four giants of the Empire?"
"What about Herman?"
Augustus looked blush, he turned to look at the long Alpine Grand Canyon at his feet, and said indifferently: "In the Empire, Hermann is indeed a behemoth that no one can face head-on, but this is not the Empire, it is a wasteland, it is our wasteland, not to mention a Herman, even if the Rodrians of Stanford come with all their might? For hundreds of years, we have tried to make the Empire see us and accept us in the wasteland, but what is the result? In the Empire, we will always be despicable sinners!" Arthras, do you really want to be a lowly sinner forever for the rest of your life, your child's child?"
"I don't want to. ”
"Since they can't see us, since they spit on the wasteland, then I really want them to know that the wasteland, whether they look down on it, is our place after all, and they will never be able to take it from the wasteland, here, they say it doesn't matter, we are the masters of the wasteland!"
What a big ambition.
Arthras was unmoved, and sneered: "It's useless to be impassioned, not to mention the Iron Belt Legion guarding the gate, they only need to send half of their troops to level the wasteland! Including your Alfred, including everyone in the wasteland! No one can resist the true determination of the Empire!"
Augustus categorically denied: "Believe me, they will not get involved, this hunting game has a certain bottom line, and the empire will never be able to participate in the game." ”
Of course, he can be sure, because Augustus already knows the real reason for Alfred's 'treason', and the Cardinal Archbishop of Mass also said that Queen Diana opened her mouth in the imperial capital, and this game can only be a game between their 'children', so why can't Augustus have his ambition?
......
Although Arthras didn't know the reason why Augustus was so sure, but sensing the certainty of Augustus's tone, he hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Augustus, and he suddenly thought, since Augustus was so sure, does it mean that he offended many people when he went to the empire, but at the same time he won the favor of which big man? For example, the Knights Cathar who are still stationed in his castle, the lich has not come, the gold mine is empty, but the Knights Cathar is still there, does it mean something else?
He felt that there must be more to the matter between Alfred and Douglas that he did not know.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Augustus retracted his gaze and pointed to the Alpine Grand Canyon at his feet: "This is the only way to enter the wasteland, two roads, one in your hands and the other in my hands, what do you think we should do?"
That's right, no matter who comes, if you want to enter the wasteland, you can't avoid this entrance, and when the time comes, whether it's frontal fighting, attack and harassment, Alfred and Sauron always have a way to make them feel the horror of the wasteland at the first step of stepping into the wasteland.
Arthras sighed and sighed: "I see, you want to turn the wasteland into a huge quagmire, and no matter how many people come to the empire, it will fall into the quagmire. ”
"A quagmire? I like that. Augustus smiled: "But in fact I prefer to use the word 'hell', where all those who try to come to the wasteland to seek revenge will be buried here forever." ”
It's about making the most of their home advantage.
Arthras knew all of Augustus' plans, so he no longer asked, he really admired Augustus's courage, when did this place of the wasteland dare to have the idea of confronting the empire? Even if the people that Augustus fought against did not represent the empire, but after all, there was the shadow of Herman, so from this point of view, Arthras seriously doubted that Augustus was too self-conscious? But if he was self-sufficient, didn't he know that the consequence was the complete destruction of his Alfred?
His head was too big for a moment to guess what Augustus, the madman, really thought.
But there is no way, Francis has already come together with Douglas, he wants revenge, he can't watch Alfred's demise, otherwise the wasteland will inevitably become Douglas's wasteland at that time, then, as a dog next to Douglas, who knows if his master will reward him with a bone called 'Sauron'?
He looked out at the canyon beneath his feet.
Douglas and Francis have begun to organize the evacuation, they move slowly and carefully, obviously to prevent Alfred from sneaking up again, with Francis, the guide dog, the convoy obviously has a sense of direction, under the coordination of Francis, both sides are guarded by knights, and the convoy moves forward from it, believing that as long as he leaves this damn canyon, Earl Douglas will be able to really breathe a sigh of relief.
Artelas's gaze remained focused on the thin man, and he said expressionlessly, "Just let them go?"
Augustus smiled: "Of course not. ”
He pointed to the large carriages at the back of the convoy: "That should be the materials that Douglas brought from the empire and the wealth that their family has accumulated over the years, I don't want to just watch them bring back to Francis's castle, how about it, are you interested in making a temporary cameo appearance as a bandit?" Whether they choose the Albasan road or your territory, it is our territory after all." ”
"Cameo robbers?"
After the turmoil and the sack of Francis, what Sauron lacks most at present is all kinds of materials, especially the most tangible gold, how can he not be tempted? But if he is tempted, Arthras is still very sensitive and asked directly: "How to divide it?"
Augustus glanced at Count Stuart, whose face was always gloomy beside Arthras: "If this count doesn't participate, then 3 parts, you, me, and Donald, we also need the assistance of the magician of the old Count Donald." ”
"Who says I don't participate?"
Count Stuart, who still rejected Alfred, could no longer remain silent.
Arthras smiled for the first time and exclaimed, "Augustus, you really don't look like a nobleman of integrity. ”
Augustus did not speak.
Aristocrat?
What's that?
So, Earl Douglas, who had just felt the malice of the wasteland, soon felt the horror of the wasteland again.
