Lord of War

William Yale.

A military strategist who can be called against heaven, one of the ten generals in the future, he first appeared after the update of the first expansion of the game.

It was 1874, the Principality of Ryan unilaterally declared war on the Darbion Kingdom, and the coach was Lei Ming's Valkyrie Asuna. She swept the entire Darbion Kingdom within a year, and even took down Garrod Fortress at one point— The final gateway to the king's capital of King Dabion—if it weren't for the interception of the retreat route and the complete destruction of the logistics line, the Kingdom of Dabion would have long since become history.

And because of this major turning point, Asuna's army suddenly became a lone army deep behind enemy lines. If Marshal Roald hadn't personally led the army to come to the rescue, forcibly withstood the Northeast Army, which was twice as strong as him at that time, and had Asuna successfully led the troops back, Asuna would have fallen in the The Kingdom of Dabion is gone—but even if they escaped by chance, Asuna was severely criticized after returning to China, because only less than a thousand of the 200,000 troops came back alive. For this reason, Marshal Roald was even forced to resign .

Afterwards, through various investigations, the players finally realized that the real commander who single-handedly reversed the entire battle was actually the previously unknown William Yale.

Because of the existence of William, the Kingdom of Dabion was able to quickly regain the lost ground with the momentum of thunder after the defeat of the Principality of Ryan, and pushed the Principality of Ryan back to Fortress Tonis again. Of course, at this time, it was not Asuna and Marshal Roald who were actually in charge of the command, but other noble generals. However, the Principality of Ryan quickly realized the seriousness of the problem and reappointed Asuna as the commander of the theater. Responsible for the entire Southeast Theater.

After William heard that the commander-in-chief of Tonis had changed back to Asuna, he decisively stopped the attack and did not forcibly attack Tonis Fortress, but the probing and espionage activities between the two countries never stopped.

It's just that William may be very good as a commander, but his social skills are really poor. During his two years as the commander-in-chief of the local army of the Kingdom of Dabion, he killed a total of seven supervisors, and sent the heads of these supervisors back to their families, and even severely humiliated one of them. Such a result naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the aristocratic class of the entire Dabiang Kingdom.

So in 1877, in order to appease the anger of more than half of the nobles in the Darbion Kingdom, William Yale was dismissed from the post of commander, and was even arrested for murder and escorted back to the capital. The most chilling thing was that no one pleaded for William at that time. Although the army under his rule expressed strong dissatisfaction, the royal family of the Kingdom of Darbion was extremely sophisticated in dealing with this issue, and directly sent the whole The local army was dismantled and reorganized, and another famous Dabion Kingdom came to sit in charge.

Afterwards, the plot seemed a bit bloody and helpless. After being escorted back to the capital and imprisoned, William was ordered to carry out public execution within a day. At that time, countless players received a mission, which was to save William Yale. Countless players were killed or injured for this mission.

In the end, William was successfully sent to the Emeria Empire. After that, William Yale became one of the three commanders of the Emeria Empire. He was only responsible to the Emperor of the Empire and not to other people. Can give any order to William Yale.

And almost on the same day when William Yale was robbed in the execution ground, Asuna attacked from Fortress Tonis again. This time, she brought only 130,000 troops, and broke through the capital of Darbion Kingdom in one year. At this point, the Kingdom of Dabion has been declared dead, and all players who belong to the citizenship of the Kingdom of Dabion will naturally suffer—those players with aristocratic status and territories are fortunate, after all, they can choose to surrender halfway to keep Territory, and those ordinary players are tragedies, the military exploits and reputation accumulated through hard work, all return to zero overnight.

Of course, few players can accept such a result, but the attitude of the game company is: whatever you like, there is no compensation.

This incident was considered a very sensational event at the time - this was the first country to be destroyed in the game, and it also made many players clearly understand the official attitude and the role played by the players in this world. Character, any of their decisions may really affect the development of a country. If they had chosen to support William or speak for him in the first place, then perhaps the fate of the Darbion Kingdom would not be so tragic.

After this incident, the game's second expansion piece "Fire of War" was launched, declaring that the game has officially entered the era of war and disputes.

At this moment, seeing William right in front of him, Sean certainly felt extremely excited and happy. He has already understood that William was in the White Wing Mercenary Regiment back then, and after the White Wing Mercenary Regiment was defeated by the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment of Moens, William also joined the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment and became a soldier of the Darbion Kingdom. Only by entering, will there be a future to fight against Asuna, even forcing Asuna not to attack.

Valkyrie, compared to the ten famous generals who are famous all over the world, is still a bit worse after all.

However, William also has a very fatal shortcoming. This guy's EQ is obviously very low. He seems to never know the importance of interpersonal relationships. Regardless of the status, even the emperor of the empire still ignores it. For such a person who can die well in the end, almost all the players said that the emperor of the empire was too easy to enter. If it were replaced by the St. Joels Empire, which valued honor and dignity more than his own life, William would have died a long time ago. He couldn't die anymore, maybe as soon as he went out, someone would smack his face with a glove and demand a duel.

But no matter how many faults and shortcomings William has, Sean doesn't care.

Because he needs a commander in chief, a commander who is truly insightful and able to formulate various strategic development plans. No one knows better than him what the situation they need to face next is, so having a real commander is naturally a very urgent need--Cecilia may be able to command an army, and Ann Nuo and Alfred can also be brought into battle, but in terms of strategic vision, they lack a certain degree of enthusiasm.

As for Sean himself, he knows very well that no one knows better than him when it comes to judging the direction of the future situation. But these are only for the future direction. Once it comes to the details of these directions, Sean is actually very helpless, but he can't show this helplessness. He even has to maintain self-confidence, because once If he doesn't even have self-confidence, how can he bring confidence to other people?

So at this moment, when Sean saw that William was captured alive by him, he really felt sincerely happy.

"Your army has also been completely defeated." Sean patted William's military uniform very politely, and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to join my team?"

Hearing Sean's words, William was a little stunned, but he was relieved that the horrible picture he imagined did not appear. But seeing Xiao En laughing so weirdly, he still felt a little nervous, so he just pursed his mouth and didn't open his mouth at this moment.

"Don't you want to talk?" Sean looked at William curiously, "It's okay, you can nod or shake your head."

William's reaction at the moment was like a piece of wood, neither nodding nor shaking his head, just staring straight at Sean, as if he wanted to see something from his face. As a result, Sean felt a little curious instead. He touched his face, then turned his head to look at Cecilia and others, and asked, "Is there anything strange about my face?"

"Smile." Cecilia glanced at Sean's smiling face, which could almost be called deformed, and stretched out her hands helplessly to support her forehead with a headache on her face.

"Smile." Alfred really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Well, smile." Only An Nuo observed it carefully, and then, as if he had come to a conclusion, he nodded earnestly in agreement with what Cecilia and Alfred said.

Sean reached out and rubbed his face, then blinked, and asked, "What about now?"

"I can't stand it anymore." Cecilia couldn't help shouting, but suddenly felt some sympathy for William in her heart, "I'm going to find Hina."

"I can't take it anymore." Alfred couldn't take it either. Seeing Sean like this, he would always think of the situation in the Wine and Knife Tavern, which made him suddenly feel like a history of blood and tears. So hurriedly followed Cecilia and left.

Only An Nuo, I don't know if it is really a little slow, or it is a little different from normal people, he blinked his eyes with a blank face: "Why are they all gone?... I think You Chang's smile is very nice. "

"Really? Thank you oah." Sean was also a little speechless, but what made him speechless was not that Cecilia and Alfred left, but that he was actually comforted by An Nuo, but there was no sense of comfort at all. What's going on again?

But no matter what, Sean turned his head to look at William again, as amiable as possible, like those big bad wolves who took out a lollipop and tried to abduct Lori, and continued to say to William: "Your conductor tonight, I have already seen it, as long as you are willing to join me, I promise you will give you the real right to lead the army."

Of course, in fact, Sean didn't see anything. When he arrived, Alfred had already broken out, ready to chop William with an axe.

"You trust me that much?" Finally, after staring at Sean again, William said the second sentence of the night.

"Of course." Sean replied without thinking.

"Didn't you ever think that after you gave me command, I would send your army to die?"

"I don't believe you would do such a thing, because if they die, we will all be done playing together, and you can't escape. ... What I need is a commander, not an aide or a staff officer. So I will give you The real commanding power allows you to lead an army, you only need to be responsible to me alone, and no other people will tell you what to do, this is my guarantee to you!"

As if moved by Sean's words, William was silent for more than ten seconds before finally raising his head and asking in a deep voice, "Why do you want to recruit me?"

Then, William heard Sean's signature answer—the second sentence he will never forget in his life: "Because, I need you!"
