However, Salida Khan was obviously not satisfied with ruling this territory. otbnkotgt William even felt that even if he went on the field in person, fought side by side with Salida Khan, and brought out his White Army and the New Circassian Army, he might not be able to win unless William really has the spirit of self-sacrifice for others.
Contribute to the mercenary world with all your money.
If there are 30,000 mercenaries, plus William's White Legion, it has now expanded to four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment and two artillery battalions.
With the new Circassian army totaling more than 8,000 people joining, Salida Khan is likely to win this victory.
But how could it be possible to help Salida Khan and help him maintain his stability in Tartariya was William's limit.
There are nearly 50,000 troops.
It’s not good for him to do something.
Why should he have to work hard for Salida Khan?
What’s more important is that Salida Khan doesn’t give him money.
Although the Tartariya Khanate conquered the east and west for hundreds of years, Salida Khan sat on the rich Tronia, and accumulated a lot of wealth through the Black Sea trade.
But half of this wealth has been lost and was robbed by the dark elves.
The other half was taken away by Kublai Lai, who took the lead in occupying the northern part of Tronica, and then became the spoils of the dark elves after Kublai Lai's defeat.
Therefore, Kublai Lai now is actually a penniless pauper.
Nothing but the name of a khan was available.
William did not receive a dime from the food, weapons and equipment that he had previously provided to Salida Khan.
But it was just such a "name" that fooled many country bumpkin nomads on the prairie.
The amount of information those people have is seriously insufficient, and their understanding of the world is still stuck in the era when Tartaria was most powerful.
Therefore, they naturally obeyed Salida Khan's call.
That is, relying on the name of a Khan.
Sarida Khan raised an army of one hundred thousand men.
Even in the early stages of the battle, before William came to his aid, all of the 100,000 troops brought their own dry food and weapons.
This was indeed surprising, but that was the end of it.
After several consecutive battles against the dark elves without victory, and the army did not plunder any loot, the morale of Salida Khan's nomadic army had dropped a lot.
If William doesn't help, in order to maintain such an army, Salida Khan can only allow them to destructively plunder the Ruthenia, Perm and northern Tronica areas that he can control.
This is the only partially "civilized" area of Sarida Khan.
And after several wars, it is already quite impoverished if this 100,000-strong army comes to rob it again.
Then Salida Khan will completely lose these places.
There will be no people, no taxes, no soldiers, and nothing.
The land will degrade into wasteland.
If it reaches that point, Sarida Khan still cannot defeat the dark elves and recapture Tronica, at least the central part of Tronica.
Then the Tartariya Khanate will completely lose its future, and will completely degenerate from a semi-civilized country that places equal emphasis on nomadic herding, farming, and commerce into a collection of simple primitive nomadic tribes.
This was what Salida Khan did not want to see, and it was also what William mentioned in the next letter he wrote to Salida Khan.
He gave Sarida Khan a warning.
Hope this guy calms down and doesn't do anything stupid.
Although in his aid to Salida Khan, William said: "If necessary, the Hereford family will intervene in this war."
But William really didn't want to do this unless he had to.
You know, Salida Khan just conducted an invasion not long ago.
Now, in the human world, he is still known as an enemy of mankind.
William getting too close to him was never a good thing for his reputation.
Therefore, William has also made other preparations.
If Salida Khan insists on going his own way and is defeated by the dark elves, it is absolutely certain.
Then William will launch the second plan.
He will give up Ruthenia and Pilm. , and even the new Novgorod.
Move all the population east of the Vistula River to the Principality of Mystia west of the Vistula River.
The largest piece of wasteland in the old continent was left to the dark elves, making it impossible for the other party to replenish supplies on the spot.

The traditional domain of the Dark Elves is far away from the Great Frontier.
Whether it is traveling through the mountains of Armenia or transporting via the Black Sea, it is a huge test for logistics.
The best result is that as long as William quietly guards the Vistula River, he can wait until the opponent takes the initiative to retreat.
At that time, he can take advantage of the geographical advantage and encroach east of the Vistula River step by step.
However, if the dark elves really intend to invest a lot of money and take over the territory east of the Vistula River, then William is not helpless.
The way was to surrender to Emperor Kalman IV.
The Magyar Kingdom under the control of this emperor also bordered the Ottoman Empire.
At the same time, the Lombard Kingdom under his control also faced the Ottomans across the sea.
Land battles and naval battles broke out frequently between the two sides.
Each sees the other as their enemy.
After stabilizing the foundation of the empire, Kalman IV expanded outward and regained the empire's territories controlled by foreign monarchs, while also ensuring the stability of the empire's southeastern border.
After the Wende princes surrendered to Kalman IV, the emperor naturally wanted to protect the Wende people from evil pagan aliens.
William's requirements for the emperor were not very high.
The first was the navy.
The Lombard Kingdom's naval power was not inferior to that of the Ottomans to contain the opponent's navy.
You don't need to defeat the opponent, just be able to contain them.
In order to fight against the Lombard Navy, the other party had to send more ships southward and enter the blue sea.
Navy ships are not like the army, which can recruit a group of farmers at random and take them to the battlefield with a little training.
It takes time to build a new, qualified warship and to add sailors, soldiers, and artillery to the warship.
A warship built at the beginning of a war may not be able to participate in the war when it ends.
The Ottoman dark elves have one more ship in the blue sea, but they have one less ship in the black sea.
Few ships passed through the Black Sea to transport supplies to the Ottoman army east of the Vistula River.
In this way, William's first plan, to force the dark elves with logistical supplies, can be successfully completed.
But if the Ottomans are not fooled, or if the Ostrogoths cannot take advantage in the battle for the blue sea, the Ottoman Empire still intends to concentrate its efforts on managing the land east of the Vistula River.
In fact, this situation It's very difficult to happen, it's just too difficult to get all these conditions together.
But if the Ottoman dark elves are really so lucky, then William is not helpless.
He will concentrate all his efforts to promote a full-scale war between the Empire and the Ottomans.
He would convince Kalman IV to concentrate all his energy on this war.
From the Carpathian Mountains to the south and from the Vistula River to the east.
Support the nomads and centaurs in the Cumanchincha grassland, and win over the Slavis in the Tronica area.
If the Holy See calls for a new round of crusade, no matter what, it will be a decisive battle to the death.
The Britons would be delighted if things came to that.
The Holy See will also fully support Kalman IV's successful coronation as emperor.
Kalman IV, who wants to do something great, will never allow himself to fail.
In this way, William's pressure has been reduced a lot.
"I hope things won't be that bad.
I hope it is."
William thought in his heart.
At the same time, Duke Otto, who was sitting opposite him.
It should be said that Archduke Otto was a little uneasy.
In other words, recently, Archduke Otto was very uneasy in front of William.
This made William a little uncomfortable.
But there was nothing he could do.
From Archduke Otto's point of view, it was only natural that he would be uneasy.
In just a few years, he went from baron to earl, from earl to duke, and from duke to archduke.

In the past few years, Archduke Otto's status has risen as fast as a rocket.
However, this is not his credit, at least, most of it is not his credit.
It's natural that he would feel uneasy.
"William, what are you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing."
William shook his head, throwing this bad thought behind him, and trying to comfort himself at the same time: "The Ottoman Empire will not simply mobilize all means.
They still have a strong enemy, the Persians, in the east.
At the same time, several consecutive wars with Tartariya have also greatly depleted the Ottoman national strength.
Ten Armenian Wars, Tronica War, and the current Second Tronic War.
In just two years, the Ottomans have fought three wars involving more than 100,000 people.
They really want to fight the second war.
The fourth, fifth, or even sixth such war?”
Thinking of this, William showed a calm and contented smile again, and then said to Archduke Otto: "Nothing, father.
I am just thinking about the changes in the current situation and about the issues you mentioned before.
I think this letter is still from you.
It’s better to write it yourself.”
"This is" Archduke Otto seemed a little hesitant, even embarrassed: "But my words 160420oshow7:
