William would never have imagined that it was not Domingo who really commanded the army this time. Hasting, but Sein. Hasting.

Even what he thought was a brilliant way to break the game was not something that Domingo had come up with, and he didn't have the courage to take it all or else, otherwise he wouldn't be just a count. But Domingo didn't, Sain did, he wasn't a man who could only talk on paper, whether it was territorial governance or military strategy, he wasn't bad, if it weren't for the fact that he was an illegitimate child, the heir of the Hasteen family would have had nothing to do with Avi for a long time.

Of course, it's not too late.

At yesterday's Hastings family meeting, Sein was officially recognized by Domingo as a member of the Hasteen family.

If there are no accidents, of course, if he can win this battle, then he is the next heir to the Hastings.

Originally, it seemed to him to be a sure thing, but now there was an accident that shocked the entire Hastings family.

Even Domingo. After hearing the news, Hastings fell ill and collapsed.

Sein's face was cloudy, he just stared at the urgent report in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.

"Turnch was killed, the 1st Infantry Corps was annihilated, Taylor was killed, and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabion suffered heavy casualties, and has now retreated to the royal capital."

The words in the urgent report are very short, but the significance is extremely striking.

Turnch was killed, and Sean didn't feel it at all, since he had seen Sean's troops in Void City, he had already known that the private army led by Dow Tingqi was not comparable to the other party at all, which can be seen from the battlefield on the Thunder Lion's side.

Six thousand against five thousand, the result was only two or three days, and only about 3,000 of the 6,000 fled back to Rovs.

If this result is acceptable to Sain, then six thousand against three thousand. Instead, 6,000 men were routed, a result that Sain could not accept. Even if the opponent has a magician and a cavalry unit that charges desperately regardless of casualties, but if the opponent is twice as numerous, even if he can't win, at least he should retreat in an orderly manner, not a big rout!

However, as a result, the 6,000 men fled back to nearly 4,000, while the other side suffered only nearly 1,000 casualties.

A two-to-one battle loss ratio doesn't seem like much, but the problem is that the other side only has 3,000 people!

Sain forced himself to be calm.

He took a few deep breaths before he finally suppressed his resentment at the sight of the report. He would have thought. Relying on the reinforcement of Dabiang's 2nd Cavalry Regiment, and then gathering the whole army in his own territory to attack William's commander's troops, to have an encirclement tactic of flanking before and after, but now Dabiang's 2nd Cavalry Regiment is out of battle, and the only troops he can use are the 10,000 people on his hands. Sain was still a little helpless.

In fact, as long as the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang does not retreat, but insists on returning to help. Sean was 100% sure that he could keep both William and Sean. And as long as these two people are left. Then this war is the victory of their Tinchiin Command, and he will be able to take it all back, regardless of whether the Rovs or other regions have fallen. But he also knew very well that this time his father was able to bring the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang over to participate in the war with Panda Ling, of course, because of the influence exerted by Duke Nugus, so the royal family acquiesced to this behavior. Otherwise, how could his father have commanded this army to participate in the war between the nobles?

You must know that the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang represents the army of the Kingdom of Dabiang!

A kingdom's official army intervenes in a contradictory war between two nobles, is this to start a national war?

So, once the casualties of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang were too large. Then this army will definitely choose to withdraw from the dispute between the two nobles. It's just that Sain didn't expect that things would come so quickly, and even Taylor died on the battlefield, which was a heavy blow to the Hasteen family.

Because, now there is only one golden powerhouse left in the Hasting family.

Once even this golden powerhouse is dead, then this battle can be avoided.

Because as long as the opponent has the courage to use the decapitation tactic and successfully kill him, the commander, then the army he commands will completely fall into the chaos of losing the commander. And with William's ability to command in battle, Sain believed that an army without a commander, no matter how large its numbers, could not pose any threat at all.

Perhaps others may not dare to risk the use of decapitation tactics, because any commander who is not outstanding in personal strength will definitely have an elite guard regiment next to him, and this guard regiment is used to prevent decapitation tactics, and the stronger the army, the stronger the guards around the commander. Sain knew that in the war between the southern side of Dabion and the Duchy of Lane back then, a total of thirteen Sacred Domain powerhouses were invested by both sides, and only the Marquis Lady had four Sacred Domain powerhouses around her to protect her, plus the Thundering Edge she had cultivated herself, there was no way to implement the so-called decapitation tactic.

If it was tens of thousands of years ago, the personal strength of the strong could really be said to be invincible, but in this era, if there are still people who think that only the personal strength of the strong can come and go freely in the army, and they can kill as much as they want, then this person must be an idiot. If this is the case, why do the major countries still need to cultivate any army, why do they need to engage in an arms race, and how can there be such a class distinction as elite and ace armies?

Those who will take the risk of using decapitation tactics are those who are extremely bold and determined to take a desperate gamble, and if it were not for the fact that the difference in military strength between the two sides is too great, no commander would be willing to risk using decapitation tactics. But Seon knew very well that once he lost the protection of the golden powerhouse sent to him by the Hasteen family, then William would definitely not hesitate to use the decapitation tactic to quickly end the battle.

Without him, the other party has three lower-rank golden powerhouses, and they are also very strong.

If it was just one, Sain would not be afraid, after all, the thousand guards of the guard regiment around him were not vegetarians. But with the three of them, the result is completely different.

Of course, if Sean knew that Sean would not only have three by his side now, but once he joined Menso and Anno, the number of golden powerhouses would swell to seven, and one of them would still be a real powerhouse with half a foot in the holy realm. Then he will definitely choose to surrender without hesitation.

Do you still need to fight this kind of battle?

The so-called war between the nobles will only break out when the high-end combat power of each other can almost balance each other.

Once one of the high-end forces is strong enough to completely upset the balance, then the war will not break out at all.

But even if Sain doesn't know that Sean has such an ally as Fiorentina now, the pressure on him is still very high.

Reaching out and rubbing his face, Sein's face looked unusually tired, as he suddenly found himself feeling cornered. He was well aware that he had reached a dead end, and that there was almost no way to crack the game at the moment, although it seemed clear that he had the upper hand. But in fact, as time went by, his advantage only became smaller and smaller, until he was unable to resist at the end of the day.

"Report!"

Just then, a rough roar suddenly interrupted Sein's train of thought.

"What's the matter?"

"The enemy has abandoned the camp and is withdrawing in a north-west direction."

"What?" Sain was startled. At this moment, he immediately understood that the other party must have received the death of Turnch and Taylor. News of the withdrawal of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang from this war. "Give the order immediately, and the whole army will attack!"

Soon, Sain's order spread to all corners of the barracks, and groups of soldiers immediately began to assemble and then left the barracks after their captain.

This time, the army was drawn very quickly. They didn't even pack up the camp and chose to attack.

Such a eager march made the rest of the army secretly speculate, but under the constraints of their respective captains, the army maintained a marching formation. Judging from this point alone, it can be seen that the basic strength and foundation of this army still exist, and it is not as bad as the outside world imagined. It's just that since it is a rapid march, it will definitely have some impact on physical strength, especially if the rapid march lasts for a long time, it will even have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

But right now, even if he knew these questions, Sain had no choice.

Because once William and Steel Wings converged, Sain knew that it would be impossible for him to win the battle with his own 10,000 people. What's more, he didn't believe that someone as cunning as William would not let the Thunder Lion give up his original attack target and rush to his side. When the time comes, once he is caught up by the Thunder Lion, then he will be surrounded by front and rear attacks.

For this, no matter what the price is, he must take down William's coaching force!

Fortunately, this extremely physically wasteful march did not last long, and in just three hours, Sain had already caught up with William's commanding force.

The two sides encountered on a mountainous terrain.

As soon as he saw the opposing army, Sein's whole person immediately calmed down, and instead of giving the order to continue advancing, he asked the army to form a formation and then began to rest in place. The three-hour rapid march had actually begun to affect the combat effectiveness of the army, so if this army was not allowed to recover its strength, then once a battle broke out in a while, even if he had 10,000 men, it would be useless.

Yet, almost as the whole army began to rest in place, Sein always felt that something was not quite right.

For he found that William's army seemed to be smaller in numbers than he had remembered.

But who are missing?

Sein's brows furrowed, he knew that he was still a little anxious about this rapid march, and did not send reconnaissance rangers in front, but since the current situation was already like this, it was useless to regret it, it was better to calm down and solve this battle.

Since twice the number of people can't eat your army, then this time five times the army, see how you fight!

Almost as soon as this thought came to mind, Sein's face changed instantly!

Because he knew who the missing soldiers were.

Rena and her cavalry troops! (To be continued......)
