Lord of War

Thain's surrender seemed to be expected, and the next series of arrangements went very smoothly, without any abruptness.

At this moment, Thain knew that his surrender seemed to be expected by the other party, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to agree to surrender, and the other party had already implemented all the relevant duties and identities. But through these arrangements, Thain also knows that neither William nor Sean will allow him to have any contact with other members of the Hastings family. The only thing he worries about now is the person who knows his true identity. Still alive, and will betray his identity to Sean.

In fact, because of the urgency of the situation, only a few people knew their true identities at the time.

Even if you count Taylor, there will not be more than ten people.

And Robert, who was sent by his father to protect him, was one of them, but Robert was dead, so he didn't need to worry, the only thing to worry about was the few people left. But he also knew that after such a war between nobles ended, it was absolutely impossible for the surviving nobles to be killed. Otherwise, once word got out, they would face crusade from all the nobles in the entire continent.

Of course, it would be a different matter if he died on the battlefield.

But having said that, as long as this method of executing nobles is done in a hidden way so that no one else will know, naturally there will be no problem. Anyway, for the nobles, all they need is a fig leaf. As long as the fig leaf is covered, the other nobles will not say anything at all, even if they know that these people were killed after they surrendered, they will not. Say one more word.

Therefore, after Thain surrendered, he sent Sean his first advice.

"My lord, since you have decided to occupy the territory of Tinchin, none of the members of the Hastings family who have surrendered can stay." Thain seems to have fully adapted to his new identity. There was no restraint in the slightest, but a calm face, as if he had been Xiao En's most loyal subordinate from the very beginning.

Hearing Thain utter such bloody and cruel words, Sean frowned slightly.

Before William and Sean could ask why, Thain had already opened his mouth to explain: "Although the Hastings family is only an earl family, they have stood steadfastly by the Nugus family from the very beginning, no matter how hard they try. The Gus family experienced three low tides in the history of Dabion, and even once they were reduced to two ranks, but the Hastings family still did not change their position. And this time, the southern aristocratic circle of Dabion is very clear, The reason why the Hastings family targeted the lord this time is entirely at the behest of the Nugus family, so whether it is public or private, the Nugus family will definitely help if the Hastings family suffers such a major destruction this time."

"In this way, although the strength of the Hastings family has been damaged, as long as they have a breath to keep. They are still an earl family. And the Hastings family is extremely retaliatory. This time, it will be eaten by you, Lord Lord After suffering such a big loss, they will definitely try to get it back, but they will never resort to war again, and even the Nugus family will not be vigilant." Thain has no intention of stopping, He still continued to analyze, "I know that you, my lord, intend to gradually encroach on Darbion's territory. But after the Hastings have suffered this big loss, they will never let you take advantage of it again, so if your lord If you still intend to continue to find excuses to encroach on Dabion's territory, then no matter what aspect you consider, you must cut the grass and root out."

Although Sean and William did not tell Thain their plans, judging from the past provocative excuses and the situation of blocking the canyon rift,

Thain could still guess some of Sean's plans. It's just that he didn't know that Sean's real purpose was to cause the two countries to go to war. He thought that Sean just wanted to expand his territory by gradually encroaching on Dabiang's border territory.

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

However, it is indeed not easy to deduce some of Sean's thoughts from some clues.

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

"Yes." Thain nodded, "If the matter is not dealt with once and for all, then they will definitely continue to quarrel, and there has never been a precedent for the war between nobles to occupy other people's territories. If it is not completely resolved As far as the Hastings family is concerned, once the influence of the Nugus family is exerted in Darbion, you will eventually return the Tingchin domain, my lord."

On this point, Sean was right.

Because no matter which country, even if there is a war 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, it is natural to solve the problem in the form of compensation. Otherwise, once the Peace Association intervenes, the problem will become more troublesome and complicated, and the occupying party may not get any benefits at all, but will have to compensate the defeated party for its losses.

In the history of the Miracle Continent, such things happened quite often.

It's just that Thain didn't know that Sean had already reached an agreement with Christina, the white-robed executive officer of the Peace Association, and now the Peace Association has gone to trouble with Deaththorn. Not to mention the occupation of the two territories of Tinkyin and Yederby, even if Sean swallowed the entire Dabiang territory, the Peace Association would not get 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 motion capture of tone and demeanor. At this moment, Sean and William can be sure that what Sean said about Nugus The family's attack and the strong vengeance of the Hastings family are not a joke.

But Sean didn't care about these things. What he really cared about was that Nugus would probably hold back and ignore his provocations. Then he really couldn't start a war between the two countries. Is he going to offend a duke family again and cultivate a new enemy and opponent?

Sean isn't that badass 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 trust me, my lord, please give me five hundred people. I guarantee that none of these people will be able to escape from Tinchin." Thain's voice was very calm, but the killing intent in his words did not weaken in the slightest, even It was even fiercer than what Sean saw on the battlefield, "I followed Lord Domingo for a long time before, and I was regarded as his confidant, so I know the real hiding place of the Hastings family, where the Hastings family is stored. A large amount of resources, just to prevent the Hastings family from being defeated one day and making a comeback."

The corner of Sean's mouth was slightly raised, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes: "You mean there are a lot of strategic resources?"

"I'm not sure if it's a strategic resource, but the things inside must be worth more than a million." Thain replied seriously.

The Kingdom of Dabion has its own currency system, so the currency they use is not Pangea gold coins, so the prices are actually cheaper. But even if it is cheaper, the gold content is eight cents, so if Thain hadn't deceived him, then the conversion of more than one million would be more than 800,000. However, Sean and William are very clear that this account must not be calculated in this way, because as long as the resources are not currency, the actual value is definitely more than one million even in the Principality of Ryan.

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

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

"The task is guaranteed to be completed within half a month!" After a little thought, Thain replied in a deep voice.

"Okay." William nodded, without saying anything, but motioned for Thain to leave.

After Thain nodded slightly, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the tent. Naturally, there was a quartermaster leading the way to serve him. William said to give him 1,000 people. Given the current situation, the only soldiers who can be selected are the soldiers of the Iron Wings. Neither William nor Sean cared about this.

"He is really a ruthless person." After Thain walked away, William's handsome face, which was enough to make women jealous, showed a sneer of disdain, "It's a pity that he didn't even let his own people go. , Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.”

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

"When he asked Domingo just now." William's face was also a little gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with the fact that he was almost cheated by Thain, "If he didn't look sad for a while after asking, I'd really There is no way to find out." At this point, William's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Sean with some surprise: "You knew from the moment you came in that he was Domingo's illegitimate son?"

"No." Of course, Sean couldn't say yes, after all, the first contact was with William, and he didn't know about the initial conversation between them, "Just like you, after seeing his reaction to Domingo is relatively big. , and then reminiscent of his performance in Void City before, I discovered it.... But I didn't expect that this guy is quite tolerant, and in order to keep the secret that he is Domingo's son, he can be so cruel This level even gave us a big gift.”

"I like this kind of person. He not only has ambition, but also has the motivation to move forward. This is a good thing for the development of our territory. ... Of course, it is also a double-edged sword. As long as the time is right, he will definitely go down. Black hands." William smiled, then turned to look at Sean, "What are your plans?"

"Since you like it, then I won't interfere in this matter." Sean shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, such a person will not pose any threat in a short time, and I believe you can handle it."

"Hehe." William smiled, a blush appearing on his face, "From this moment on, he needs to keep proving that he still has the value of living."
