Augustus reacted at the first time, first of all, he communicated with the leader of the 200 Knights of the Cathar stationed outside Alfred's castle, expanded the patrol range in his territory, and did not participate in the war, but to show a deterrent posture and stabilize the confidence in his territory to the greatest extent, this is not a big problem, this group of Knights Cathar has been stationed outside his castle for a long time, and the leader and Augustus have also maintained a good personal relationship under Sophia's threading of the needle, and he readily agreed; 。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After arranging these two points, Augustus went back to his study and looked through the information of the various families in his realm who held noble titles but did not have the corresponding strength—of course, it was necessary, since he was a great lord, Augustus himself had the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of his people, especially since he had just promised when he took back the knighthood of the families.

In fact, Augustus must admit that, consciously or unconsciously, Christopher's violent counterattack beyond his imagination is indeed likely to shake the Alfred power structure that he has carefully constructed.

He sat down at his desk and directly pulled out the information of the family vassals and read them carefully, even forgetting to pay attention to Elizabeth on the other side.

Elizabeth could naturally see Augustus's nervousness, she was puzzled, if she remembered correctly, this was the first time she had seen such tension in Augustus, she subconsciously asked, "It's tricky?"

His eyes were still on the information in his hand, and he didn't look up, Augustus nodded lightly, and frowned: "Even the heavily fortified Dehe City has been attacked, not to mention other towns, if this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that panic will soon be permeated in the territory, and once the panic spreads, Alfred may not fall into the storm, but tension and pessimism are inevitable." ”

Elizabeth, who did not speak again, closed the Chinese piece and looked at Augustus seriously.

When she tried to force Christopher to jump out, she understood Augustus's thinking, and it can be said that what Augustus really wanted to force out was not Count Christopher, but the big hand hidden behind the Christopher family, because she and Augustus knew very well that the attack on Alfred Castle and the murder of their father, A powerful knight order with an average strength of at least level 7 or higher must not belong to the wasteland, and it can only be a force from the Holy Empire outside the wasteland that at least has the status of a quasi-first-line family, so if they want to face such a huge enemy, of course, they need to force the enemy out first, and then since it involves the power outside the wasteland, whether it is the front or the dark side, Alfred has a certain reason to use the power of the Mass Governor to fight against such a huge enemy, otherwise, Alfred has no chance of winning at all.

She thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that this matter was also arranged by the person behind Christopher?"

Augustus understood Elizabeth's guess, after all, such a powerful wrist was too much for them to estimate, but even so, he still shook his head: "Unlikely, interestingly, I even felt Christopher's despair in this matter, and he showed a tragic gesture of risking everything, even if he was to die, to bite Alfred." ”

"It's really a human dying, it's crazy. ”

Ignoring Augustus's self-deprecation even at this time, Elizabeth frowned slightly, as if she thought it was unlikely, could it be that Christopher was completely abandoned?

Otherwise, why did Augustus say that his counterattack was a desperate counterattack?

With such doubts, she watched Augustus change one document after another, but in the end she didn't wait for Augustus's detailed explanation.

This is Elizabeth's biggest dissatisfaction, although she emphasized to Augustus more than once that Alfred is the Alfred of their brother and sister, and she also has a reason to bear everything Alfred, but even if she agrees on the surface, it seems that she really participates in Alfred's specific things, but once she encounters real danger, Augustus will still subconsciously exclude her from danger, and firmly defend her with a domineering and tough attitude, which moves her, but helplessly, he wants to protect her, how can she be indifferent to his fatigue and hardships？

......

After looking through the information of the family servants, when it was nearly dark, Augustus sent knights to disperse to the towns to inform these undefended servants, if necessary, to let them temporarily live around Alfred's castle for some time in the near future, according to his estimate, Christopher's counterattack before his demise must not be over, and all this is only the beginning.

His reflexes were fast enough and his arrangements were precise enough.

Under his orderly arrangement, when some of the servants had moved to the lawn in front of Alfred's castle and set up tents temporarily, it seemed that with his full preparation, the Christopher assassins who were hiding among Alfred's large number of civilians seemed to have no chance, and in the next two days, Alfred finally calmed down.

However.

This calm was only superficial, but it lasted only two days before news of the attack on Alfred's servants came again.

And this time it was one of Alfred's servants who had great power, Baron Marshall of Greentown, who was attacked.

Although fortunately, Marshall escaped from his manor overnight with his level 5 fighting strength and was injured overnight, his family was eventually destroyed, and even the only heir died in the tragic attack.

At this point, Christopher's ultimate intention to fight back was finally completely exposed.

If Augustus' attempt to force Christopher out was to plunge the Christopher family into turmoil, Christopher's counterattack was to permeate Alfred.

In just a few days, not only did Alfred's servants who did not have the strength run to Alfred's castle for refuge, but even some of the town lords with real power also rushed to panic, and sure enough, under the banner that since the Earl had withdrawn their right to subordinate the knights, then Augustus would of course need to provide them with shelter, all of them were placed on the wide lawn outside Alfred's castle, disrupting all the normal order of Alfred's territory, and also making Alfred's territory unprecedentedly tense。

......

Standing in the corridor on the second floor of his castle, looking down at the various makeshift tents in front of his castle, Augustus had a blank look in his eyes - he knew very well that if this atmosphere of terror continued for a long time, sooner or later Alfred would explode in silence, and he would probably be greeted with the desperate roar of his servants before Christopher perished.

At that time, it was not his dictatorship that could suppress it.

There is no doubt that this situation is difficult, unlike the desperate situation he faced at the beginning, when he was on the verge of mental collapse and then he was under psychological pressure.

But despite this, he still can't act rashly, not only because the lame Alfred doesn't have the decisive offensive ability, but the key is that Christopher's hand behind his back makes him have to be feared.

He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky of Alfred Castle, and his hand gripping the castle railing clenched quietly until the green tendons were clear.

Winter has passed, but spring has not yet arrived.
