Chapter Ninety-Two: I'm going to reason with him
"Clothed in the most beautiful morning light, the grave is a grave after all. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Augustus learned of the turmoil in Louis-Sauron's territory relatively late, which was determined by geographical factors and could not be changed, but almost as soon as the old butler finished explaining the general situation around Sauron, Augustus instantly concluded that this must have been carefully prepared by Francis for Artelas. The reason for waiting for him to jump into the grave is not that he is much more discerning than Count Stuart, the key is that in this matter, Stuart, who has interests involved, is an insider, and Augustus is an out-and-out outsider.
He put down the excerpt of the outline of Alfred's next meeting that he was compiling, and smiled slightly at Elizabeth's somewhat confused expression across the desk.
Elizabeth's talent and intelligence are not doubted, after such a long time, Augustus can also fully affirm the amazing intelligence hidden under his sister's quiet and weak temperament, the only thing he lacks is experience, but experience is proportional to age after all, heretics like Augustus are the most special exception, Augustus is willing to believe that as long as Elizabeth is given enough time, she will be able to bring great surprises to this wasteland.
Similar to the famous Queen Elizabeth in his previous life in the history of the English Reformation?
No, she will go further if she wants to.
Augustus did not hesitate to give Elizabeth a detailed explanation: " I bet that Young Master Louis, who was so lazy that he even felt that he felt hard to use his brain, must have been instigated by Francis, so he brazenly launched a bloody extermination operation in his territory, which is a means for Francis to kill two birds with one stone, if Arthras does not move, then when the servants in Louis's territory are almost dead, he can take it himself, or hand it over to Stuart, it is no longer an obstacle thing; Imagine how Arthras could move in such a situation. ”
Elizabeth frowned slightly, her beautiful countenance, though inevitably childish, was unusually calm.
"Don't expect to cross the city of Sauron and cross into Louis's territory to rescue his people, he doesn't have such strength at the moment, then he has only one choice, launch a large-scale counterattack in his small territory, and then win, so that those who belong to the Sauron family after all see his victory, and finally respond to his counterattack, join forces to overthrow Louis, cooperate with him in the north of Sauron, and bring more trouble to Francis. ”
Augustus, who would not have doubted Elizabeth's intelligence, nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "This is indeed his best choice, but at the same time, this is also the most amazing thing about Francis, he knows that the incident in the new diocese of the wasteland not only makes it impossible for Sauron's people to turn to him anymore, but also makes him fall into a deep passive situation, and if he does not solve it, he will be completely dragged down by this news, so he can only complete the encirclement and suppression of Arthras in the shortest possible time, and then deal with the impact of this news- His plan was simple, as long as Arthras gathered all the power at his disposal to try to achieve a victory, then he would definitely let all of Artlas's power end overnight. ”
"But hasn't the Knights of Francis already sent back to his own territory to be on guard, and how can he destroy all the power of Artelas?"
"You see, even you think that Francis can't do it, then Arthras is more confident, but the point is that you all seem to have forgotten what happened not long ago - everyone thought that Sauron's Knights, especially the Knights in Heavy Armor, were strong enough, and Francis was completely incapable of defeating Sauron, but what happened? Don't underestimate this jackal who is good at forbearance, his most powerful power is always out of sight. ”
Elizabeth pondered for a moment.
With a worry that is difficult to detect, he asked softly, "Is Arthras sure to be deceived by Francis's appearance?"
"If it were a normal situation, he wouldn't necessarily be fooled, but now, he is likely to be fooled. As for the reason...... On the one hand, he has been in a desperate situation, and finally sees hope, and the greed in his heart will prompt him to ignore the doubts on the surface, and on the other hand, he must be fooled, because he also needs to give an explanation to the people who still follow him, and those people will definitely not realize the conspiracy in it, so even if Arthras is unwilling, the people around him will indirectly force him to carry out this actual decisive battle, which is also Artelas's greatest sorrow. ”
Of course, in fact, Arthras has another choice, but considering that choice is basically tantamount to suicide, I'm afraid that he will not make the decision that only a madman can make. ”
Elizabeth didn't speak again.
She lowered her head, buried her face in the pile of papers on the desk, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, will you meddle in this matter?"
Augustus looked quietly at Elizabeth, who could not see her expression on the other side, with gentle eyes.
He knew that Elizabeth was worried about Arthras, which may have nothing to do with feelings, just a rare trace of kindness in a dirty environment, and it stands to reason that this so-called kindness should not be, but what Augustus wants to see most is the rare kindness of his sister, and he stubbornly believes that all the dirtiness is enough for him to bear alone, so for this reason, he is willing to do whatever it takes to take care of all the good qualities that still exist in his sister.
He smiled and said, "Do you want your brother to intervene, but you're worried that if Arthras survives, it will bring great trouble to your brother in the future?"
Elizabeth still hung her head.
Augustus said indifferently: "Don't have these so-called worries about burdening yourself, just one Artelas, even if I personally create ten enemies like Artelas, what about it?"
It's stupid, but it's not pride.
Elizabeth suddenly looked up, she heard what Augustus meant, concealed her emotion, and smiled with difficulty: "But don't we have a peace agreement with Francis?"
But Donald and Francis don't have a peace deal. ”
This was the point of advising Donald to aid Artoras, and although Elizabeth knew very well that Augustus had suddenly become so powerful that she sometimes couldn't believe it, she had to admit that at least no one in the wasteland could threaten Augustus in terms of means and intrigue.
"Besides, I can't watch Francis completely destroy Arthras, and then stand firm, you know, at present, Alfred is finally on the road of rapid development, once Francis stands firm, even if he does not dare to declare war on Alfred, but he will secretly not stop all kinds of means that will slow down or even stop Alfred's good development trend, so I also need Arthras to drag Francis for me. ”
This is probably the ultimate reason why Augustus was willing to help Artelas.
Of course, Elizabeth smiled brightly, whether it was really for this reason, or Augustus just didn't want her to apologize, it didn't matter, he was her brother.
......
After deciding this matter, Augustus realized that the war between Francis and Arthras was likely to set a big tone in a short period of time, no matter who died or lived, who won or lost, after this decisive battle, both sides must have calmed down for a while, which is undoubtedly not very good news for Alfred, after all, the most favorable situation for Alfred is that they are both fighting endlessly, and no one has time to pay attention to Alfred, so Alfred will continue to develop healthily and rapidly.
But things have come to this point after all, and it is impossible for Augustus to change this general tone.
He knew that the most important thing he should do next was to solve the problems that Christopher had caused him, and he must not let Francis and Christopher, who soon have a period of respise, block Alfred's development at the same time, and deal with the harassment of two behemoths at the same time, even if it is not fatal, but it will not be easy in any case.
He casually pulled out the materials that Vernon Sr. had just picked up on his desk in the morning, and said to himself, "We have to fight back against Christopher." ”
On the other side, Elizabeth, who had just put her mind back to work, looked up in amazement.
As far as Alfred's current situation is concerned, the defense is indeed almost invincible, but it seems that he does not have the power to attack at all.
Perhaps sensing Elizabeth's astonishment, Augustus explained: "We have to find a way to make Christopher attack Alfred with a straight face, and we can't always make small moves in secret." ”
Elizabeth was even more confused, Christopher was not a fool, knowing that Alfred, who had the Knights of the Cathar stationed, was invincible at all, how could he attack Alfred?
Augustus looked up to meet her little face, smiling, but extremely serious: "I will reason with him and tell him that his dirty little methods are very unseemly and immoral." ”
