Just as Augustus was receiving news of the Lich invasion, the Marquis of Sauron's conference room was also hosting the second Sauron Council. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the first time in a century that two Sauron Conferences have been convened in one year.

Because the heads of the various families involved in the meeting retreated to the territory of Sauron with their respective descendants a few days ago, they were notified of the meeting early in the morning, and they gathered in the Sauron conference room at noon, and when the Marquis of Sauron finally arrived and sat at the front of the round table, the second Sauron meeting was officially started, but this time the Sauron meeting could not be as relaxed and casual as half a month ago, and in the expressions of the nobles who sat down and looked at each other, no matter whether the mood was good or bad, without exception, all the nobles and lords had extremely complicated expressions。

Who would have thought that Alfred, who was still a little sheep in their eyes half a month ago, would have to reconvene and make a choice after half a month?

You know, but where you choose, there will inevitably be the possibility of making a wrong choice, and then considering that running a family, any insignificant wrong decision is likely to bury immeasurable hidden dangers, and the complex expressions of the nobles are not difficult to understand, especially when they are forced to the point of having to choose a 17-year-old child, which is really unacceptable to them who have been up and down for most of their lives.

Marquis Sauron looked around at the nobles in front of him, quickly adjusted his mood, and finally fixed his gaze on Donald's old face beside him, and said: "I believe you already know that the young Alfred at the helm has successfully made contact with the Holy See, which is definitely the most celebratory thing for hundreds of years for the wasteland, and how should we cooperate with the young Alfred at the helm next, you can talk about your opinions or make suggestions to the meeting." ”

Opinion?

Not surprisingly, there was silence, which is not surprising, although Augustus, who has obtained the support of the Holy See, has made the nobles face a choice, but the most influential of them must be the Sauron family, the Marquis of Sauron must consider that once Augustus successfully survives the crisis caused by the Lich invasion, the close connection with the Holy See will almost certainly prompt Augustus's Alfred to grow rapidly, and then directly threaten Sauron's number one position, so plus Sauron is the host of the meeting, he did not express his position, and others do not need to be in a hurry to make a statement。

This is obviously what Sauron expected, in the end, he has been fighting openly and secretly with this group of cunning nobles for most of his life, he must have guessed the careful thinking of these people.

After a slight pause, he glanced at Francis, who was sitting next to Donald.

Francis understood, and even though he didn't seem to be in good spirits, as Sauron's dogleg, he certainly knew that Sauron needed him to break the silence. He subconsciously sat up straight, narrowed his narrow eyes, lifted his spirits a little, and quickly said: "I don't deny that Augustus brought great hope to the wasteland, but should we think about other aspects? Yes, returning to the arms of the Lord and returning to the empire has been the greatest wish of the wasteland for hundreds of years, but the question is, for those of us who are here, whether it is to return to the empire or to the arms of the Lord, what good can this bring us?" No, I don't think it will bring us any practical benefits at the moment, on the contrary, the greater benefits can only be the lowly commoners, only the servants in our fiefdoms, so I think we should choose to watch this matter more from the sidelines, I believe that with 500 Knights of the Cathars, it will be difficult for Augustus to achieve the final victory in the current tide of Lich invasion...... Even if he manages to make it to the lich's departure, the inevitable losses he and the Knights Cathar will suffer won't change our plans for the rest of the day. ”

"Besides, are you willing to just give up the resources you already have?"

The resources that have been obtained here refer to the resources that Alfred got by everyone here after Alfred's demise.

The nobles had no one to speak.

They all looked at Francis with strange expressions.

No one would deny Francis's point of view, but I'm afraid no one would say it directly except Count Francis, Sauron's dogleg.

Even the Marquis of Sauron knew this, so he frowned slightly when he looked at Francis, feeling that Francis was indeed too eager, and he should have been more subtle.

Fortunately, his circle also has Count Stuart who can complement Francis.

Stuart hesitated, followed Francis's point of view, and frowned: "We all know what you said, but the key is that if we choose to be a bystander, will the commoners and nobles in our fiefdom act excessively?" After all, once they knew that the Holy See's Knights Cathar appeared on the front line of resisting the Lich, they would definitely subconsciously think that this was a hope, a hope to get rid of the annual flight and migration, who didn't want the Holy See's Knights Cathar to be stationed in the wasteland and defend them against the Lich for a long time? ”

This is what Augustus and Elizabeth are talking about.

The real horror of the conspiracy lies in the fact that even though the nobles knew that Augustus wanted to drag them into the water together to resist the lich together, they could not fight back against Augustus's methods head-on, even if they were superficial, they would at least have to follow the path designed by Augustus to a certain extent.

The meeting fell silent again.

Annoyance to chagrin, but Marquis Sauron had to admit that little Augustus, the little goat, had really brought him a great surprise, one that he found difficult for him to solve perfectly.

"I have a proposal. ”

To the surprise of everyone in the conference room, Old Count Donald, who basically never expressed his position in the annual Sauron meeting, actually made his hoarse voice, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, but also made Sauron's heart a little unnatural, he felt that even in the last meeting, Donald seemed to show great interest in Augustus.

He smiled and said, "Count, please speak."

Donald opened his old eyes, he pressed his hands on his cane, and said slowly: "If you guess correctly, the knights who are responsible for breaking off the families should not have time to rush to the territory of the Marquis of Sauron, since we can't directly refuse Augustus openly, then we simply leave those knights in their respective fiefdoms, which can be regarded as an explanation to our people- Of course, leaving the knight does not mean that we have to fight side by side with Alfred, we can still wait from the sidelines, and wait until at least the strength of the Alfred family is exhausted, and then we will assist Augustus and the Knights Cathar to resist the lich, which can minimize our respective losses, and after the lich leaves, Alfred will definitely not have any actual strength, so it will not be troublesome to deal with Augustus who is only an empty shell left. ”

"I approve of Count Donald's proposal. ”

Stuart grasped the crux of Donald's proposal almost instantly, he sighed at the other party's old spiciness, and quickly added: "Especially with regard to the Knights Cathar, I have always wondered why the matter of the wasteland has been working hard for hundreds of years, and Augustus went to the province of Noy alone to solve it?" It must not be that simple, I can almost conclude that the Governor of Mass can only temporarily promise to give Augustus some limited help, and he cannot completely stand by Augustus's side, so this means that the Lich will retreat, and the Knights Cathar will probably leave, in which case nothing will change our plans. ”

Things became clear in an instant.

Marquis Sauron also quickly perked up, he nodded calmly, and looked at Christopher, who had always been silent, to make it clear that he was waiting for Christopher, who had the best personal relationship with Alfred.

As a result, as Artelas guessed.

Christopher did not disagree, and he also chose to support the views of Earl Donald.

This is normal, not to mention that the friendship between nobles is full of interests and exchanges, even if Christopher has a good relationship with Alfred before, but Alfred is dead after all, what good personal friendship can Christopher and Augustus have?

......

At this point, it seems that the meeting once again satisfactorily solved the thorny problems that Augustus had brought to them, and after a quick agreement, at least on the surface, this time the meeting of Sauron was still perfect.

Then wait for the nobles to leave the conference room.

As the master, the Marquis of Sauron did not send these nobles away, but still sat in his place and pondered.

The greatest virtue of the Saxons is not honesty and integrity, but calmness, the calmness that will be possessed at all times.

Of course, Marquis Sauron knew that he could not fully trust the decisions made at the meeting, especially if Donald would really think about him? He didn't want to believe it even more, because if everyone was really honest about solving this problem, then someone should bring up the matter of Arthras leading the knights to Alfred's castle, after all, at this moment when the relationship between the various families and Alfred is extremely sensitive, it is difficult for Arteras's behavior not to be interpreted as an attitude of the Sauron family, so since Arthras was not even mentioned in the meeting, then Sauron knew that things would not be so simple.

He could almost be sure that, even if the nobles would do what the council decided on the surface, in private, no one would be without a little bit of interesting tricks.

He didn't think about Donald's old fox's true intentions anymore, he had to do something to ensure Sauron's position.

Speaking of which, Arthras, the excellent heir who gave him a headache, really brought him a huge surprise, and won a lot of initiative for Sauron in matters related to Augustus and the Knights of the Cathar.

"In the end, it is all the hope for the future of the Sauron family. ”

The Marquis of Sauron was surprised by his excellent heir, and casually ordered the servant outside the door to call his second heir, Louis Sauron, to meet him.

Louis arrived soon.

If Artelas inherited the elegant and calm side of the Marquis of Sauron, then Louis completely inherited the rough and arrogant side of Sauron, he did not choose the knightly route like Arthras and many noble children, but rather rudely chose the lowly swordsman route, with a level 3 fighting spirit, he carried an extraordinarily wide sword, standing in front of Sauron, he was completely an adventurer image that can be seen everywhere in Sauron City, and the elegance of the so-called noble heir has nothing to do with it.

But Sauron didn't mind, he had Arthras, who satisfied him in every way, and naturally he didn't care about the vulgarity of his second in line to the throne.

He looked at his heir, who was standing in front of him with a big grin, and explained in a deep voice: "There is something you need to do next, I will give you a 300-man knight order, including 100 regular knights, led by you personally, stationed in Hughes City, the closest to Alfred Castle, and at the same time I will also send a letter to Arthras, you must completely obey his arrangements and fully cooperate with his decision." ”

Louis grinned, "Father, don't worry, even if Arthras asks me to kill the Lich Court directly, I won't hesitate at all. ”

Sauron frowned, not disgusted with the frivolity of his second heir, the key was that his big personality was difficult to reassure, but considering the importance of this matter, he could only trust Louis.

After all, Louis had his Sauron's blood in his veins.

......

However, what Marquis Sauron didn't know was that Louis, who had his blood in his veins, appeared in the first place after leaving, which happened to be the northwest corner of Sauron, and the Marquis of Sauron was definitely not unfamiliar with Mary's Manor.

Louis walked all the way and appeared directly in Madame Mary's bedroom, he grinned at Madame Marie who was lazily lying on the big bed, and casually threw the broad sword in his hand to the ground, ignoring the crisp sound of the big sword touching the ground, and threw himself directly on the big bed.

"It's such a fascinating place, but it's a pity that I'm going to have to go to that real war for the next while. ”

"Is it true that you are being asked to lead the knights?" said Lady Mary, gasping for breath and in a deep nasal voice.

Louis said vaguely: "This old wolf Francis, knows Sauron's blind lion too well, you have to ask the old wolf when he will do it, I can't wait to cut off the head of the late lion and see if Arthras can still kiss his bloody forehead gracefully." ”

"Don't be impulsive, Francis has endured for so many years after all, this wolf lurking in the shadows must have his perfect plan, we just need to follow his plan for now, as for the future, my dear Louie, the beast inside you will definitely tear the old wolf to pieces. ”

The woman's gasp, the man's maniacal laughter, the words grew softer and softer.

Men conquer the world and then women, and women conquer men and then the world.

......

At the same time, just as the nobles of the wasteland had agreed at the meeting, each planning small means and big ambitions, a simple and spacious carriage stopped in front of Alfred's castle.

After receiving news of the official invasion of the Lich, Augustus welcomed Constantine's little princess, Her Royal Highness Sophia.
