Chapter 498

Facing William's straightforward words of persuasion, Thain sneered: "do you think it's possible?"

"Why not?" William asked, "the Hastings family is ruined. Do you want to be buried with them?"

Hearing William's words, Thain was stunned at first, and then he only felt a chill attack on his whole body. At this moment, he even felt cold in his hands and feet. At this time, he remembered that William had just said to him that lomine and Hastings manor had fallen. In other words, they had been completely occupied by Alfred and the lion of thunder. In this way, all members of the Hastings family must have become prisoners.

Thinking of this, Thain had forced himself to calm down. He looked up at William and said, "what are you going to do to the Hastings?"

"That's what the Lord needs to consider." William glanced at Thain. He found that Thain looked strange, but he didn't take it to heart. "My duty is to sweep away all the troops blocking his progress for the Lord."

William's words are very clever, but this is indeed true, because his personal combat power is completely zero, and his only value is in the war. However, in the current situation, it has nothing to do with the fight of the Hastings family, but once the scale of the war rises to the level of national war, he must be careful, because at that time, the real elite troops participating in the war are not small fish and shrimp like him, and even the strong in the holy land will certainly participate in the war.

As an excellent commander, if the other side has a strong saint when the two armies fight against each other, but his own side does not have the means to restrain the strong saint, then only a beheading tactic is enough to completely destroy an army.

However, after so many years of fighting in various countries on the mainland, all commanders have long experienced the old way. Now this tactic has almost no possibility of success, especially in the face of the front-line troops of those countries. As for the second and third lines of troops, how can anyone spend energy on beheading tactics? Now, the reason why those generals with excellent command ability and command ability are equipped with high-end combat strength guards is more just a kind of insurance and can protect them from breaking out when necessary.

After all, for all countries, an army can be reorganized even if it is disabled. Even if it is lost, there is another army.

However, one of these outstanding generals died, especially those who can enter the ranking of outstanding generals in the mainland are extremely valuable talents.

Tonight, if Thain didn't send the soldiers of the 500 guard regiment in a desperate way, and let the golden strongman fight when facing Sean and was killed by Sean in turn, he would have no problem as long as he broke through with Thain under the cover of others. After all, in that case, even if Sean wants to intercept, he can't do it at all. Even if Anor, Rena and others are responsible for containment, the probability of catching each other alive is still very low.

It is for these reasons that William is particularly optimistic about Thain.

Although he has cultivated Rena, Stalin, Adolf, nock, anno and others, the combined value of these people is not as high as that of Thain. After all, these people are all halfway monks, but they still lack a lot of practical experience. At present, it is good to be able to command a thousand troops - anno is an exception, mainly because the steel wings are all composed of northern barbarians.

But Thain is different. Although he was easily defeated by William, he also forced William to change his plan at least once. In William's eyes, Thain is already a truly independent general. If he is willing to take effect, even if he only gives him 2000 troops, William also believes that he can well hold the chilf leader. At that time, the troops of Adolf, Stalin and nock can be immediately liberated from the mire of the chilf leader. In this way, William can use more pieces in strategic layout and greater tactical changes.

This is the reason why William really likes Thain.

But Thain didn't seem to appreciate it. Although he looked calm, he didn't mean to let go: "I must know what you will do with the Hastings family before I consider whether to join you."

William frowned slightly, and he began to feel that something was wrong. But he only pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked someone to invite Sean over.

Soon, Sean and Cecilia came to the tent.

"What's up?" Sean looked at Thain. At the moment, Thain's face was very calm without much fluctuation, and his eyes were very peaceful, but Sean saw a faint reddish glow on Thain.

This represents Thain's suspicion of himself and some hostility.

He can understand the doubt. After all, he just defeated him and caught him alive. At this time, he persuaded him to surrender and made it clear that he might be reused. If he didn't doubt, Sean would even doubt his ability. However, Sean didn't understand this trace of hostility, because in Sean's view, it was just a clerk hired by the Hastings family. Although he had been hidden very deeply before and didn't expect him to have such excellent command talent, as long as the Hastings family was destroyed, he was also a free body. At this time, he used him instead of killing him, He shouldn't refuse.

But why are you hostile to yourself?

Sean doesn't think this guy is so grateful to the Hastings that he has to die.

But in spite of this, Sean opened his real eyes and glanced.

But he didn't expect that at this glance, his heart turned into a storm.

Because the name shown by Thain in the eyes of reality has become Thain hastin, not Thain Holm when he introduced himself!

At this moment, Sean understood that Thain was definitely the illegitimate son of Domingo, and Domingo attached great importance to and trusted him. In this way, it can be explained why when he was in the void City, Thain's repeated transgression did not cause Domingo's anger, but made him calm down faster. He even completely obeyed Thain's plan and handed over the last force of the territory to Thain.

"He said that he would not consider whether to join us until he knew how you planned to deal with the Hastings family." William did not say much, but directly relayed the meaning of Thain's words to Sean.

Hearing this, Sean already knew what Thain thought. With a sneer in his heart, he pretended to be nothing and asked, "if the Hastings are willing to surrender, of course I will deal with it according to the noble rules. However, tingqi doesn't intend to return it because he took it. You and I must know this. However, at present, I don't know what the situation of Hastings manor is. Therefore, even if you ask me, I can't answer you. "

At this point, Sean glanced at William, obviously to ask William to tell about lomine and Hastings manor.

However, Sean noticed that when he said it was impossible to return tinkie's collar, the light on Thain immediately began to deepen towards the red, which meant that his hostility and hatred towards himself were obviously increasing. At this time, Sean really realized what a great advantage it would be if the real eye was promoted to the third level. If he could not see the attitude of others towards himself now, I'm afraid he would be swallowed up with these guys who are good at conspiracy.

Before, he dared to give the territory to Florence, and even decided to become a real ally with Florence, because the light of Florence has always been green, and his followers are also very friendly to themselves because of Florence's attitude. Otherwise, Sean didn't dare borrow Pepe and Nana from Florence, and he always stayed with her as a confidant.

"I didn't encounter any resistance when I took lomine. On the contrary, I encountered some resistance when I took Hastings manor..."

At this time, Sean had discovered Thain's secret, so most of his attention was focused on him. Therefore, he immediately found that he trembled slightly when hearing William's words, but he didn't know whether it was because of tension, worry, or other factors.

"... although the resistance was strong, Fred suppressed it." William didn't find Thain's little action, and still said to himself, "all the servants in the manor were dispersed. In addition to the more than ten people who were killed and escaped in the resistance, the members of the Hastings family, including their families, caught 17 people alive."

How many family members are there in Hastings manor? Thain can't be more clear. How to say that Hastings family is also a count family inherited for generations. According to William, at least more than 20 Hastings family members were killed in resistance. Thain who was caught alive doesn't need to think and know that they must be the family members' wives, In this way, it can be said that the whole Hastings family was completely destroyed.

But at the moment, Thain was not in the mood to consider the problems of his people. His only concern was: "how about Lord Domingo?"

"I can't see you're quite loyal." Sean sneered inside. He had been able to prove that his guess was right.

Seeing Sean's face, Thain pursed his mouth and didn't answer. How could he not hear the irony of Sean's remark, but he didn't want to answer it.

"Domingo is dead." William said calmly, "Fred was dead when he broke into his room."

Some words don't need to be said too clearly.

His territory was occupied, tens of thousands of troops were completely destroyed, and even the manor where the family was located could not be maintained. With Domingo's pride, he would certainly feel ashamed of the whole family. Therefore, it is too possible to be suffocated alive.

After hearing the news from William himself, Thain turned white and didn't speak for a long time.

William and Sean didn't speak. It was not until a long time later that Thain's face returned to a little blood color, and then said, "I'm willing to surrender."
