Chapter 499 (1/2)

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

At this moment, Thain knew that his surrender seemed to have been expected by the other party. Otherwise, he could not have promised to surrender, and the other party had implemented all relevant duties and identities. But through these arrangements, Thain also knew that neither William nor Sean would let himself contact with other members of the Hastings family. His only worry now was that the person who knew his real identity was still alive and would sell his identity to Sean.

In fact, because the situation was very urgent, only a few people knew their true identity at that time.

Even with Taylor, there won't be more than ten people.

Robert, who was sent by his father to protect him, was one of them. However, Robert was dead. He didn't need to worry. The only thing he worried about was the remaining people. But he also knew that after the war between such aristocrats ended, the surviving aristocrats could never be killed. Otherwise, once it was spread, they would face the crusade of all the aristocrats in the whole continent.

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

However, having said that, as long as this means of executing nobles is hidden from others, there will be no problem. Anyway, for the nobles, what they need is only a fig leaf. As long as this fig leaf is covered, other nobles will not say more. Even if they know that these people were killed after surrender, they will not say more.

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

”Lord, since you have decided to occupy tinguin, none of the Hastings who have surrendered can stay.” Thain seems to have completely adapted to his new identity. He has no restraint in the tent, but a calm face. It seems that he is Sean's most loyal subordinate from the beginning.

Hearing Thain say such bloody and cruel words, Sean raised his eyebrows slightly.

Before William and Sean asked why, Thain explained: ”although the Hastings family is only a count family, they have stood firmly beside the nugus family from the beginning, even if the nugus family was cut twice in three low tide periods in the history of dabion, But the Hastings still haven't changed their position. Moreover, this time, the southern aristocratic circle of dabion knows very well that the reason why the Hastings family targeted the Lord is completely inspired by the nugus family. Therefore, whether public or private, the Hastings family suffered such a major collapse this time, and the nugus family will certainly help. ”

”In this way, although the strength of the Hastings family is damaged, they are still a count family as long as they keep it. The Hastings family is extremely vindictive. After such a big loss in your hands this time, Lord, they will certainly try their best to get it back, but they will never use war again. Even the nugus family will be vigilant. ” Thain did not stop. He continued to analyze, ”I know, Lord, you intend to gradually encroach on dabion's territory, but the Hastings will never give you a chance after this big loss. Therefore, if Lord, you plan to continue to find an excuse to encroach on dabion's territory, no matter what aspect you consider, Must be uprooted. ”

Although Sean and William did not tell Thain their plans, Thain was able to guess some of Sean's plans from the previous provocative excuses and the blockade of the gorge rift valley. But he didn't know that Sean's real purpose was to cause war between the two countries. He thought Sean just wanted to expand his territory by gradually encroaching on dabion's border territory.

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

But only from some clues can we infer some of Sean's ideas, and Thain is really not simple.

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

”Yes.” Thain nodded. ”If they don't deal with things all at once, they will continue to make trouble, and there has never been a precedent of occupying other people's territory in the war between nobles. If you don't completely solve the Hastings family, once the influence of the nugus family is brought into play in dabion, Lord, you will eventually return the tinguin collar. ”

Thain was right about that.

Because no matter which country, even if there is a dispute between the aristocrats of the Empire and the aristocrats of the Kingdom, it is impossible to occupy the territory of the kingdom. In the end, it is natural to solve the problem by means of compensation. Otherwise, once the peace association intervenes, the problem will become more troublesome and complex. Even the occupying party may not get any benefits, but compensate the losses of the defeated party.

In the history of the miracle continent, this kind of thing has happened a lot.

But Thain didn't know that Sean had already reached an agreement with Christina, the white robed executive of the peace association. Now the peace association has gone to find trouble. Let alone encroach on the two territories of tinkin and yadby. Even if Sean swallowed the whole dabion, the peace association would not be involved in this matter.
