Lord of War

   Thain’s surrender seemed to be expected, and the next series of arrangements were very smooth and not abrupt at all.

  At this moment, Thain knew that his surrender seemed to have been what the other party had expected, otherwise it would be impossible for him to almost agree to surrender, and the other party had already implemented all relevant duties and identity. But through these arrangements, Thain also knew that neither William nor Sean would let him have any contact with other members of the Hastings family anymore. His only concern now is that the person who knows his true identity is still alive. , And will give his identity to Sean.

  In fact, because the situation was so urgent, only a few people knew their true identities.

  There are no more than ten people even including Taylor.

  Laubert, who was sent by his father to protect him, was one of them, but Laubert was dead, he didn’t need to worry, the only thing to worry about was the few people left. But he also knew that after a war between nobles like this, the nobles who survived were absolutely impossible to be killed, otherwise, once the words were spread, they would face crusades from all the nobles on the entire continent.

  Of course, if you die on the battlefield, it’s another matter.

   But that being said, as long as this method of execution of the nobles is hidden from others, there will be no problem. Anyway, for the nobles, all they need is a fig leaf. As long as the fig leaf is covered, other nobles won’t say anything at all, even if they knew that these people were killed after surrendering. Say one more sentence.

  Therefore, after Thain surrendered, he sent Sean the first statement.

"Lord Lord, since you have decided to occupy Tin Chiin, none of the members of the Hastings family who have surrendered can stay." Thain seems to have fully adapted to his new identity, and he has nothing in the tent. He was restrained, but with a calm face, as if he had been Sean's most loyal subordinate from the beginning.

  Hearing such **** and cruel words from Thain, Sean raised his brows slightly.

Without waiting for William and Sean to ask why, Thain had already started to explain: "Although the Hastings family is only an earl family, they have stood firmly by the Nucus family from the beginning, even if they try The Gus family had three low-chao periods in Darbion’s history, and even once they were slashed, but the Hastings family still has not changed their position. And this time, Darbion’s southern aristocratic circle is very clear. The reason why the Hastings family directed the Lord Lord this time is entirely the instruction of the Nugus family. Therefore, whether it is public or private, this time the Hastings family has suffered such a major destruction, the Nugus family will definitely help."

"As a result, although the strength of the Hastings family is impaired, as long as there is one breath to retain, they are still an earl family. And the revenge of the Hastings family is extremely strong. After such a big loss, they will definitely try to get it back, but they will never use war methods anymore, and even the Nugus family will be wary." Thain did not intend to stop, he He continued to analyze and said, "I know Lord Lord, you intend to gradually encroach on Darbion’s territory, but after the Hastings have suffered this big loss, you will never be able to take advantage of it anymore. So if Lord Lord, you If you intend to continue to find excuses to encroach on the territory of Darbion, then no matter what you consider, you must cut the roots."

  Although Sean and William did not tell Thain their plans, from the past provocative excuses and the situation of blocking the fissure valley, Thain can still guess some of Sean's plans. But he didn't know that Sean's real purpose was to cause war between the two countries. He thought that Sean was just trying to expand his territory by gradually encroaching on the border territory of Darbion.

  Encroaching on territory and instigating war are completely two concepts, so the outcome of the matter must be different.

  But some of Sean’s thoughts can be inferred from only some clues, and Thain is indeed not simple.

   "So your opinion is to kill all those who have surrendered?" Sean looked at Thain and asked.

"Yes." Thain nodded, "If you don't deal with things cleanly, then they will definitely continue to quarrel, and there has never been a precedent for wars between nobles to occupy other people's territory. If it is not completely resolved As for the Hastings family, once the influence of the Nugus family is brought into full play in Darbion, Lord Lord, you will eventually return the Tinky Inner."

  On this point, Thain was right.

  Because no matter which country, even if there is a dispute between the nobles of the empire and the nobles of the kingdom, it is impossible to occupy the territory of the kingdom. In the end, the problem will naturally be solved by compensation. Otherwise, once the Peace Association intervenes, the problem will become more troublesome and complicated, and even the invading party may not be able to reap any benefits, and instead will have to compensate the losing party for the losses.

  In the history of the miracle continent, this kind of thing has not happened rarely.

  It’s just that Thain doesn’t know. Shawn has long reached an agreement with Christina, the white-robed executive officer of the Peace Association, and now the Peace Association has gone to the trouble of Deadthorn. Not to mention the occupation of the two territories of Tinkiin and Yadby, even if Sean swallowed the entire Darbion, the Peace Association would not be involved in this matter.

  Of course, it is impossible for Thain to know these things.

  So his analysis is based on the information he currently knows. Both William and Sean are very good at judging the sincerity and accuracy of a person's words through the motion capture of tone and demeanor. At this moment, both Sean and William can be sure that what Thain said about Nu The shot of the Gus family and the strong revenge of the Hastings family are not joking.

  But he doesn’t care about these Sean. What he really cares about is that Nugus is likely to put up with this tone and ignore his provocation, so he really can’t start a war between the two countries. Is he going to offend a ducal family again and cultivate a new enemy and opponent?

  Shaun isn’t that painful yet.

   "Even if these people are killed, what about those who escaped?" Sean looked at Thain and asked in a deep voice.

"If you can believe me, my lord, then please give me five hundred people. I guarantee that these people will not escape the Tingqiin collar alone." Thain's voice is very calm, but the killing intent in the words has not diminished at all, even It’s even more fierce than what Shaun saw on the battlefield. "I followed Master Domingo for a long time, which is his confidant, so I know the real hiding place of the Hastings family, where the Hastings family is stored. The large amount of resources is to prevent the Hastings family from being defeated one day and they can make a comeback."

  The corners of Sean’s mouth raised slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "You mean there are a lot of strategic resources?"

   "I'm not sure if it is a strategic resource, but the contents must be worth more than one million." Thain replied very seriously.

  Darbian Kingdom has its own currency system, so the currency they use is not pan-continental gold coins, so the prices are actually cheaper. But even if it is cheaper, the gold content is eight cents, so if Thain didn't deceive him, it would be more than 800,000 if he was over one million. However, both Sean and William knew that this account must not be calculated in this way, because as long as this resource is not currency, then the actual value is definitely more than one million even in the Principality of Lane.

   "If the adults don't believe me, you can send someone with me." Thain continued to add.

   "No." William made a decision on the spot, "I will give you a thousand people!...How long will it take you to solve this?"

  "Guaranteed to complete the task within half a month!" After a little thought, Thain replied in a deep voice.

   "Okay." William nodded, did not say anything, but signaled that Thain could leave.

  Sean nodded slightly, then stopped staying, turned around and left the tent. Naturally, a quartermaster next to him led the way to serve him. William said that he would give him a thousand people. The only thing that can be selected based on the current situation is the soldiers of the Iron Wings unit. Even so, it is very likely that Thain will find out the combat effectiveness and overall structure of this unit. William and Sean didn't care about this.

"Really a cruel person." After Thain had gone away, William sneered with a face that was so handsome enough to make a woman jealous. "Even his own people didn't let it go, it's a pity. , Cleverness is wronged by cleverness."

   "I'm sure, you definitely didn't know it the first time." Xiao En smiled, and then said, "When did you find it?"

"When he asked Domingo just now." William's face was also a little yin, he was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that he was almost deceived by Thain, "If he didn't have that moment of sorrow after asking, I There is really no way to find out." At this point, William's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Sean in a little surprise: "You knew he was Domingo's illegitimate child from the moment you entered?"

"No." Of course, it is impossible for Sean to say yes. After all, the first contact was William, and he didn't know the conversation between them at the beginning. , And then I think of his performance in the Void City before, I just found out... But I didn’t expect that this guy would be quite forbearing, and in order to keep the secret of being Domingo’s son, he was actually cruel This level even gave us a big gift."

"I like such a person. He not only has ambitions, but also has the motivation to move forward. This is a good thing for our territory development.... Of course, it is also a double-edged sword. If the time is right, he will definitely play. Black hand." William smiled, then turned to look at Sean, "What are your plans?"

   "Since you like it, then I won't intervene in this matter." Sean shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, such a person will not be threatened in a short time, and I believe you can manage it."

   "Hehe." William smiled, a bright red appeared on his face, "From this moment on, he needs to continue to prove that he is worth living." (To be continued.)
