William. Yale.

A rebellious military strategist and one of the ten future generals, he first appeared after the update to the game's first expansion.

It was 1874, and the Duchy of Lane unilaterally declared war on the Kingdom of Dabion, and it was the Thundering Valkyrie who served as the commander. Asuna, who swept through the entire kingdom of Dabion in one year, and even once took the fortress of Garrod - the last gateway to the royal capital of the kingdom of Dabiang - if it were not for the interception of the retreat route and the complete destruction of the logistics line, the kingdom of Dabiang would have been a thing of the past.

And because of this momentous turn of events, Asuna's army suddenly became a lone army deep behind enemy lines. If it weren't for Marshal Roald personally leading the army to rush to the rescue, he stubbornly withstood the northeastern army that was twice as powerful as him at that time, and let Asuna successfully lead his troops to escape back, Asuna would have fallen in the kingdom of Dabion - but even if he escaped, Asuna was also severely criticized after returning home, because less than 1,000 people returned alive after the 200,000 army, for which Marshal Roald was even forced to resign.

Afterwards, through many understandings, the players finally realized that the real commander who single-handedly reversed the entire battle was actually the previously unknown William. Yale.

Because of William's existence, the Kingdom of Dabiang was able to quickly regain its lost ground with thunder after the defeat of the Duchy of Lane and force the Duchy of Lane back to the fortress of Tonis. Of course, at this time, it was no longer Asuna and Marshal Roald who were really in charge, but other noble generals, but the Duchy of Lane soon realized the seriousness of the problem and reappointed Asuna as the commander of the theater and was responsible for the entire southeast theater.

And after William heard that the commander of Tonys had changed back to Asuna, he decisively stopped the attack and did not force the attack on Tonys, but the tentative and espionage activities between the two countries never stopped.

It's just that William may be very powerful as a commander, but his social skills are really poor. During his two years as the commander of the local army of the kingdom of Dabiang, he killed a total of seven overseers and returned their heads to their families. even humiliated these families fiercely. Such a result naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among the aristocratic class of the entire Dabiang Kingdom.

So in 1877, in order to appease the anger of more than half of the nobles of the kingdom of Dabiang, William. Yale was removed from his post as commander-in-chief, and was even arrested for murder and escorted back to the royal capital. And the most chilling thing is that no one interceded for William at that time, although the army under his rule expressed strong dissatisfaction. However, the royal family of the Kingdom of Dabiang was extremely experienced in dealing with this problem, and directly dismantled and reorganized the entire local army, and replaced it with another name of the Kingdom of Dabiang.

The plot after that was a bit bloody and helpless, and William, who was taken back to the royal capital and imprisoned, was ordered to be executed in public within a day. At that time, countless players were given a mission to save William. Yale. Countless players were killed and injured for this mission, and it was only after the last that William was successfully sent to the Emilia Empire. Yale became one of the three commanders of the Emilian Empire, responsible only to the Emperor and not to anyone else. Yale gives any order.

And almost in William. On the same day that Yale was taken from the execution ground, Asuna attacked again from Tonis Fortress, this time with only 130,000 troops. It took a year to break through the gates of the capital of the Kingdom of Dabiang. At this point, the kingdom of Dabion came to an end. All players who belong to the citizenship of the Kingdom of Dabiang will naturally suffer - those players with noble status and territory can say that after all, they can choose to surrender halfway to keep their territory, while those ordinary players are tragic, and all the hard-earned exploits and prestige will be zeroed overnight.

Of course, few players can accept this result, but the attitude of the game company to this is: what do you like, there is no compensation.

This incident was also a very sensational event at the time - this was the first country in the game to be destroyed, and it also made many players clearly aware of the official attitude, as well as the role played by players in this world, any of their decisions is really likely to affect the development of a country, if they chose to support William or speak for him in the first place, then maybe the fate of the kingdom of Dabion would not be so tragic.

And after this incident, the game's second expansion "War" was also opened, announcing that the game officially entered the era of war.

At this moment, seeing William in front of him, Sean certainly felt extremely excited and happy. He had already understood that William was in the White Wing Mercenary Regiment back then, and then the White Wing Mercenary Regiment was defeated by the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment of Mornes, and William joined the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment and became a soldier of the Kingdom of Dabiang, so that he had the future to fight with Asuna, and even forced Asuna not to attack.

Valkyrie, compared to the ten famous and miracle generals, is still a little worse after all.

However, William also has a very fatal flaw, the emotional intelligence of this product is obviously very low, he never seems to know the importance of interpersonal relationships, always offends more people and calls fewer people, and he is more venomous, and he never looks at his identity regardless of the occasion when he complains, and even the emperor ignores it. For such a person who can actually die a good death, almost all players say that the emperor is really a good person, if it is replaced by the St. Joles Empire, which regards honor and dignity as higher than the value of his own life, William would have died a long time ago and could not die anymore, maybe as soon as he went out, someone would slap his face with a glove and ask for a duel.

But no matter how many faults and shortcomings William has, Sean doesn't care.

Because he needs a commander-in-chief, a commander who really has the foresight and can formulate various strategic development plans. No one knew better than him what the situation they would need to face next, so having a real commander was naturally a very much-needed thing - Cecilia might be able to command an army, and Anno and Alfred could lead people to war, but in terms of strategic vision, they lacked a certain amount of fire.

As for Sean himself, he knows very well that no one knows better than him when it comes to judging the future direction of the situation. But these are only for the future direction, once it comes to the details of these directions, Sean is actually very helpless, but he can't show this helplessness, he even has to keep confident. Because once even he doesn't have confidence. So how else does he bring confidence to others?

So at this time, Sean saw that William was actually captured alive by himself, and he really felt sincerely happy.

"Your army has been completely defeated." Sean patted William's military uniform very politely and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to join my team?" ”

Hear Sean's words. William was a little stunned, but the terrible picture he imagined did not appear, which still made William breathe a sigh of relief. But seeing Sean smiling so weirdly, he was still a little furious in his heart, so he pursed his mouth at the moment and didn't speak.

"Don't want to talk?" Sean looked at William with some curiosity, "It's okay. You can nod or shake your head. ”

William's reaction at this moment was like a piece of wood, neither nodding nor shaking his head, just staring straight at Sean, as if trying to see something on his face. In this way, Sean felt a little curious, and he touched his face. Then he turned his head to look at Cecilia and the others. Asked, "Is there anything strange about my face?" ”

"Smile." Cecilia glanced at Sean's smiling face, which could almost be called deformed, and reached out helplessly to support her forehead with a headache.

"Smile." Alfred couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes. Grin. Anno was the only one who looked at it very carefully, and then, as if he had drawn a conclusion, nodded earnestly in agreement with Cecilia and Alfred.

Sean reached out and rubbed his face, then blinked and asked, "What now?" ”

"I can't stand it anymore." Cecilia couldn't help but shout, but she suddenly felt some sympathy for William in her heart, "I'm going to find Sheena." ”

"I can't stand it anymore." Alfred couldn't stand it either, looking at Sean like this, he always remembered the situation in the Wine and Blades Tavern, which made him suddenly feel a history of blood and tears, so he hurriedly followed Cecilia away.

Only Anno, I don't know if it's really a little sluggish, or if it's a little different from normal people, he blinked and looked dazed: "Why are they all gone?" …… I think you have a pretty good smile. ”

"Really? Thank you. Sean was also a little speechless, but what he was speechless about was not Cecilia and Alfred leaving, but that he was actually comforted by Anno, but what was the matter with this feeling of no comfort at all?

But regardless of these, Sean turned his head to look at William again, as amiable as possible, like those big bad wolves who took out lollipops and wanted to kidnap Lori, and continued to say to William: "I have seen your command tonight, as long as you are willing to join me, I guarantee that you will give you the real right to lead the troops." ”

Of course, Sean didn't actually see anything, and when he arrived, Alfred had already broken through the formation, ready to chop William with an axe.

"You trust me so much?" Finally, after glancing at Sean again, William said the second word of the night.

"Of course." Sean replied without thinking.

"Didn't you think that after you gave me command, I would let your army go to your death?"

"I don't believe you'd do such a thing, because if they're dead, we'll all be done together, and you won't be able to escape. …… I need a commander-in-chief, not a staff member or staff officer. So I'm going to give you real command, so that you can lead an army, and you only need to be responsible for me alone, and no one else will dictate to you, this is my guarantee to you!" ”

As if moved by Sean's words, William was silent for more than ten seconds before he finally raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to recruit me?" ”

Then, William heard Sean's signature answer, the second sentence he will never remember in his life: "Because, I need you!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Today grandma had surgery and went to the hospital, sorry for being late for the update. …… I saw that many people said that William was not suitable to be a staff member because of character flaws. Aha, this character was not designed to be a perfect character from the beginning but had emotional intelligence flaws, and his positioning was not a staff member who gave advice, but a commander who really led troops to fight.
