Chapter 559 (2/2)
After leaving the city gate, the respectful color on Thain's retinue's face disappeared, replaced by a cold face.
He glanced at Thain coldly, and then said in a deep voice, ”Sir Thain, I hope you didn't disappoint us.”
Thain looked straight ahead. His face was as calm as water, but if he observed carefully, he could find the excitement hidden in the depths of his eyes. He just drove the horse and kept galloping. He didn't seem to answer the meaning of the words of the squire around him. Until the other party couldn't help shouting his name again, Thain finally said in a slightly lazy tone: ”Sean allowed me to increase troops.”
When the name ”Sean” was mentioned, Thain's tone was only indifference, without the respect he had shown in the conference room before.
”How much?” There was a look of excitement on the squire's face.
”No upper limit.” Thain said faintly, ”but according to the situation of Dayi collar and considering my ability and funds, I estimate that expanding the scale of the army to 20000 is the limit. If it exceeds this number, it will cause the suspicion of Sean and William These two people are not fools. Don't think your little tricks can deceive them. ”
”Twenty thousand?” The excitement on the retinue's face did not subside. ”Ten thousand more than expected, that's good.”
”Fifteen thousand at most.” Thain directly rejected the squire's words without looking back, ”20000 is the limit. Do you think it's really that easy to reach the limit value? Do you know what the probability is I can only accept the size of 15000 troops at most. If we exceed this number, we will fail in our negotiations. ”
”Fifteen thousand is also good.” The squire wanted to say something, but when he heard Thain's firm tone, he could only nod, but he hated Thain a little more in his heart, ”I'll inform the Duke, and everything will be done according to your instructions.”
”Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.” This time, Thain finally glanced at the squire, but the slight irony raised at the corner of his mouth made the other party's hatred stronger, ”if you dare to sneak in, don't blame me for directly ordering the suppression I'd rather spend more time designing the game than destroy my plan because of your mess You know, even without you, I have the ability to kill Sean, so this time it's you who come to beg me for cooperation, not me. Remember to set your attitude for me. ”
”I... I see.” The squire bit his teeth with some resentment, but finally chose to give in.
Because this time he made contact with Thain secretly, he received a special emphasis from Hella nugus. No matter what conditions Thain put forward and what harsh words he said, he must endure it. If he can't reach an agreement with Thain, he won't have to go back to the nugus family and just find a place to commit suicide.
Because of this, even in the process of negotiation, he was very angry by Thain, but he didn't dare to refute Thain's words.
”Let me ask one more question.”
”Please.”
”What's the card you're hiding over there?”
Hearing Thain's words, the nugus family member pretending to be Thain's squire suddenly changed his face. Looking at Thain, he immediately became a little frightened: ”you... How could you...”
”It's not how I knew, but it was inferred by Sean and William.” Thain said in a deep voice, ”they even concluded that the card you hide in soan is an army, and this army is not the mountain lion legion of the Howard family, or the fourth legion of dabion in the kingdom of dabion So I'm curious whether the card you're hiding is intended for a sneak attack or to catch Sean off guard. ”
”Is there a difference?” The nugus family member asked.
”Of course there is a difference.” Thain said naturally, ”the lion of thunder has entered soan If you are hiding in the fourth dabion legion, you can certainly give Sean a great surprise and completely leave the thunder lion on that land, which is absolutely good news for you. But if you're hiding there with the mountain lion legion, I'm afraid you'll be surprised. ”
”Hum! The mountain lion legion of the Howard family is an elite army comparable to the tequila army of the boulder family. How can a mere thunder lion be an opponent of the mountain lion Legion? ” The nugus family member snorted coldly with disdain, ”if it is the steel wings of the first strong army under Sean, it may also cause some trouble to the mountain lion corps, but the final victory must be the mountain lion corps Moreover, as long as Sean dares to send steel wings, he will wait to be invaded by our coalition forces. ”
”Ha ha!” Hearing the proud words on the man's face, Thain couldn't help laughing.
”What are you laughing at?”
”I'm laughing at your ignorance.”
”If you knew the achievements of the mountain lion army, you wouldn't laugh like this.”
”Do you think I'm laughing at the mountain lion corps?” Thain glanced coldly at the member of the nugus family, and the sarcastic color in the corners of his mouth was even stronger, ”I'm laughing at your despised enemy! Do you really think Sean's first strong army is steel wings I might as well tell you the truth. The most powerful army under Sean is Alfred's Lion of thunder, followed by clough's Cecilia guards, and then it's anno's steel wings! ”
”Make some trouble? ha-ha! If soan Ling is really a mountain lion legion, I'm afraid what is waiting for them is the total annihilation of the army. ”
The noble's eyes were wide open, obviously unbelievable.
Looking at the proud look on the other party's face, Thain's smile became stronger: don't worry, I have a bigger surprise to give you.
