292. The Second Shift

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

At this moment, Sain knew that his surrender seemed to have been expected by the other party, otherwise it would not have been possible to almost agree to surrender himself, and the other party would have already completed all the relevant duties and identities. But through these arrangements, Sean also knew that neither William nor Sean would definitely let himself have any contact with other members of the Hasteen family, and the only thing he was worried about now was that the person who knew his true identity was still alive and would betray his identity to Sean.

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

Even counting Taylor, there would be no more than ten.

And Laubert, who was sent by his father to protect him, was one of them, but Laubert was dead, and he didn't need to worry, the only thing he worried about was the few people left. But he also knew that after the war between nobles like this was over, it would be absolutely impossible for the surviving nobles to be killed, otherwise, once the news spread, then he would face the crusade of all the nobles in the entire continent.

Of course, if you die on the battlefield, that's a different story.

But that being said, as long as this method of executing nobles is done in a way that is hidden so that others don't know about it, there will naturally be no problem. Anyway, for the nobles, all they need is a fig leaf, as long as this fig leaf is covered, the other nobles will not say anything at all, even if they know that these people were killed after surrendering, they will not say a word more.

Therefore, after Sain surrendered, he sent his first message to Sean.

"My lord, since you have decided to occupy the Tinchiin Domain. Then none of the members of the Hestin family who have surrendered will be left behind. Sean seemed to have fully adapted to his new identity, and in the tent he was no longer the slightest inhibited, but calm, as if he had been Sean's most loyal subordinate from the beginning.

Hearing Sean say such bloody and cruel words, Sean's brows furrowed slightly.

Without waiting for William and Sean to ask the reason, Sain had already opened his mouth to explain: "Although the Hasteen family is only an earl family, it has stood firmly by the side of the Nugus family from the beginning, even if the Nugusts family has been cut down by two ranks in the history of Dabiang three times, and even once has been cut by two ranks, but the Hasteen family has still not changed its position. And this time. Dabiang's southern aristocratic circle knows very well that the reason why the Hasteen family targeted the lord this time is completely the instruction of the Nugus family, so whether it is public or private, this time the Hasteen family has suffered such a major defeat, and the Nugus family will definitely help. ”

"That's it. Although the strength of the Hastings family has been damaged, it is still retained as long as there is still a breath of air. They are still a family of counts. And the Hastings are extremely vindictive. This time you have suffered such a big loss at the hands of your lord, they will definitely try their best to get it back, but they will definitely not use the means of war again, and even the Nugus family will be wary. Seon had no intention of stopping, he continued to speak, "I know that Lord Dao Lord is planning to gradually encroach on Dabion's territory. However, after the Hastings family suffered this big loss, they will definitely not let you take advantage of it again, so if you plan to continue to find an excuse to encroach on the territory of Dabion, then no matter what way you consider it. We must all cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Although Sean and William did not tell Sean about their plans, judging from the previous pretexts of provocation and the blockade of the Gap Rift, Sean was still able to guess some of Sean's plans. It's just that he doesn't know that Sean's real purpose is to cause a war between the two countries, and he thinks that Sean just wants to expand his own territory by gradually encroaching on Dabiang's border territory.

Encroachment on territory and provocation of war are completely two different concepts, so the outcome of the matter is bound to be different.

But some of Sean's thoughts can be deduced from just a few clues, and Sain is indeed not simple.

"So your opinion is to kill all these people who have surrendered?" Sean asked, looking at Sean.

"Yes." Sein nodded, "If things don't be dealt with all at once, then they will definitely continue to fight, and there has never been a precedent for such a thing as a war between nobles to occupy other people's territory." If the Hasteen family is not completely resolved, then once the influence of the Nugus family is exerted in Dabiang, you will eventually have to return the Tinchiin Domain, my lord. ”

Sain was not wrong about this.

Because no matter which country, even if there is a dispute between the nobles of the empire and the nobles of the kingdom and there is a war, it is impossible to occupy the territory of the kingdom, and in the end it is natural to solve the problem by paying reparations. Otherwise, once the Peace Association intervenes, the problem will become more troublesome and complicated, and even the encroaching side will most likely not gain any benefits at all, but will have to compensate the losses of the defeated side.

In the history of the Miracle Continent, this kind of thing has happened many times.

It's just that Sean didn't know what to do, Sean had already reached an agreement with Christina, the white-robed executive officer of the Peace Association, and now the Peace Society has gone to find trouble with Deaththorn. Not to mention the encroachment on the two territories of Tinchiin and Yedby, even if Sean swallows the entire Dabion territory, the Peace Association will not intervene in this matter.

Of course, it is impossible for Sain to know these things.

So his analysis is based on the information he currently knows. And both William and Sean are very good at judging the sincerity and accuracy of a person's words through the motion capture of tone and demeanor - at this moment, Sean and William can be sure that what Sean said about the Nugus family's shot and the strong revenge of the Hasteen family are not joking.

But he doesn't care about these Sean, what he really cares about is that Nugus is likely to put up with this breath and ignore his provocations again, then he really can't provoke a war between the two countries. Could he go and offend a ducal family again and cultivate a new enemy and opponent?

Sean wasn't that painful.

"Even if these people are killed, what about those who escape?" Sean looked at Sean and asked in a deep voice.

"If you can be trusted, then please give me five hundred men, and I guarantee that none of these people can escape from the Ting Chi Yin Territory." Sean's voice was very calm, but the killing intent in his words did not weaken in the slightest, even more powerful than what Sean had seen on the battlefield, "I have followed Master Domingo for a long time before, and I am considered his henchman, so I know that the real hiding place of the Hasteen family, where a lot of resources of the Hasting family is stored, is to prevent the Hasteen family from being defeated one day and can make a comeback." ”

The corners of Sean's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "You mean there are a lot of strategic resources?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's a strategic resource, but it's definitely worth more than a million." Sein replied very seriously.

The kingdom of Dabion has its own monetary system, so the currency they use is not pan-continental gold coins, so it is actually cheaper in terms of prices. However, even if it is cheaper, the gold content is eight cents, so if Sain hadn't deceived him, then more than one million would have been converted into more than 800,000. However, Sean and William both knew very well that this account must not be calculated like this, because as long as this resource is not currency, then the actual value even in the Duchy of Lane is definitely more than one million.

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone with me." Sain went on to add.

"No, you don't." William made a decision on the spot, "I'll give you a thousand!" …… How long will it take you to fix this? ”

"Guaranteed completion of the task within half a month!" After a moment's thought, Sein replied in a deep voice.

"Okay." William nodded, didn't say anything more, but motioned for Theon to leave.

After nodding slightly, Sein did not stay any longer, turned around and left the tent, and naturally there was a quartermaster next to him to lead the way to serve him. William said to give him a thousand people, and the only people who can be selected in the current situation must be the soldiers of the Iron Wings army, although this is likely to make Sean figure out the combat effectiveness and overall structure of this army, but William and Sean don't care about this.

"He's really a ruthless person." After Sain walked away, William's handsome face that made women jealous showed a sneer of disdain, "I didn't even let go of my own people, but it's a pity that being smart was mistaken by being smart." ”

"I'm sure you're not the first to know about it." Sean smiled before he spoke, "When did you find out?" ”

"When he asked Domingo." William's face was also a little gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with the fact that he was almost deceived by Sein, "If he hadn't had that moment of sadness after asking, I really wouldn't have been able to find out." Speaking of this, William's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Sean in some surprise: "You knew from the moment you came in that he was Domingo's illegitimate son?" ”

"Not really." Of course, Sean couldn't say yes, after all, the first contact was William, and he didn't know anything about the initial conversation between them, "Like you, I only found out when I saw his reaction to Domingo, and then thought of his performance when I was in Void City before." …… It's just that I didn't expect that this guy is quite forbearing, and in order to keep the secret that he is Domingo's son, he can be cruel to such an extent, and even give us a big gift. ”

"I like people who are not only ambitious, but also motivated, which is a good thing for our territory. …… Of course, it's also a double-edged sword, as long as the timing is right, he will definitely do it. William smiled, then turned to look at Sean, "What are your plans?" ”

"Since you like it, then I won't interfere in this matter." Sean shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Anyway, such a person will not pose any threat in the short term, and I also believe that you can handle it." ”

"Huh." William smiled, a blush on his face, "From this moment on, he needs to keep proving that he still has the value of being alive." (To be continued......)
