Chapter 498 (1/2)

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?
