That's it.
In the next few days, the dark elves did not attack again.
They all stayed in their military camps and discussed future tactics and countermeasures. otbnkotgt Of course, basically speaking, the sultan was discussing with her confidants what price should be paid to satisfy the Hereford family so that they could withdraw from this war with dignity.
Then concentrate our efforts to suppress the disobedient forces in the country.
These female sultan's confidants all know the "rules" of the dark elves.
Once you follow a lord, it will be very difficult to change.
They had a mutually prosperous and destructive relationship with the Sultan of Fatima.
If you want to feel better for yourself, you must spend the next time solving problems for Nu Sudan.
However, no matter what the dark elves thought or thought, they felt that this was impossible.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
If they were put in Wilhelm von Hereford's position, there was little reason why they couldn't beat the dog.
Perhaps after learning about the low morale here, the Hereford family's army would attack without hesitation, launch a large-scale attack, and then completely defeat the Dark Elf expeditionary force.
This is a very easy thing for the Hereford family.
Therefore, there are two most important issues now.
One of them is how to make one's own army appear stronger and cede less benefits when facing the Hereford family's army.
Another point is how much benefit is appropriate to cede when facing the Hereford family army.
These two points make the dark elves very distressed.
One thing they didn't know was that just as they were distressed, William was also distressed.
After dealing with the dark elves for such a long time, especially after defeating the dark elves in the previous night attack and killing so many enemies, William has seen through the nature of the dark elves who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
I think if I were just a little tougher, I would be able to win an unimaginable victory.
A great victory over the dark elves would allow him to become the most powerful and best ruler in the world, the guardian of mankind and the King of Glory, just like his father King Otto did after the victory of the Great Border War.
Shield of the Lord's faith.
He will receive unprecedented honors.
The issues he had with his father, King Otto, regarding the route, as well as the slightest mistakes in inheritance, would all be ignored.
The whole world will praise him.
The question is, what else can he gain besides this?
First of all, although the dark elves have been weakened to an incredible level, William still believes that if he reveals the slightest idea of killing the dark elves, then they will still not lack the courage to fight.
What's even worse is that leaving the familiar preset positions of the Hereford family army and having a fair and just battle with the enemy will have a great impact on the Hereford family army.
The Herefords would suffer heavy casualties.
And a victory with heavy casualties, apart from bringing a lot of honors to William, has very few actual benefits.
Yes, very few.
Ruthenia and the Cuman Qipcha grasslands were already in William's possession.
William believed that even if he did not launch a battle against the main force of the dark elves, the dark elves would never dare and would no longer be able to think about competing with him here.
But could William gain anything besides Ruthenia and the Cuman-Kipchak steppes?
William thought about it and found it very difficult.
It is true that he can continue to push the battle line southward and push it to the Black Sea in one go, but because the other party has sea control over the Sea of Assyria and the Black Sea, and at the same time guards the isthmus.
It is completely impossible for him to completely drive the dark elves out of Tronica.
Next, he will have to face the constant harassment of the dark elves.
The dark elf pirates and the dark elf troops dispatched from the Crimean Peninsula will become his nightmare.
Therefore, even if he controls this area, he does not dare to directly control it.
Otherwise, the military expenditures consumed by this area will become a heavy burden for the Hereford family.
He could only regard this area as a spoil of war and give it to his lackeys, the Cossacks, and the half-man Makrimya Khan as agreed in advance.
In this case, it would be meaningless.
Unless he has a powerful navy that can pass through the Dardanelles Strait, and then control the entire Black Sea in his hands.
But if you think about it, you will know that it is very difficult to achieve, or in other words, it is simply impossible to achieve.

"In other words, after consuming so many elite troops, the final result is in vain."
But of course, this is a very bad assumption.
In addition to this assumption, there is actually another possible situation.
In this case, after the Dark Elves suffered such a disastrous defeat, the Ottoman Empire was in turmoil.
Withstand various blows and then have to shrink strategically.
If that is the case, then with a relatively ideal agreement, William can control the entire Tronica region.
Then control the entire Sea of Assyria, as well as the northern part of the Black Sea.
"But this requires cooperation.
If the Carpathians can win, it will be much easier to implement this plan."
William thought in his heart.
At the same time, he was thinking about another thing, that is, whether the naval battle in the Adriatic Sea and the blue waters was won.
If the Lombards, Asturians and Maltese knights were a little more powerful, it would not be impossible to directly dismember the entire Ottoman Empire with the cooperation of land and sea.
He could even give up all his interests in the entire Peloponnese Peninsula and let the Carpathians and Lombards divide the entire region.
And then continued to maintain the alliance with these two kingdoms.
In this way, his south, east and northeast are all wilderness, ineffective barbarians, and quite strong allies.
In this way, the Hereford family can go west with all their strength and participate in the internal competition within the empire.
The diplomatic situation will improve as never before.
The Hereford family will truly have a golden period of development.
Whether it is to go east to invade the fragmented Ottoman Empire, or to continue east to occupy the entire snowy area, go south to attack the Zoroastrian Empire, or even extend directly from land to India and invade the Indian Ocean City. good.
This will be an extremely great victory.
The Hereford family will be invincible from now on But of course, this possibility requires a prerequisite, and this prerequisite is the weak rule of the dark elves themselves.
The Dark Elves themselves must be unable to control their vassals, those Levantines, those Turks, and those Peloponnesians.
If they still have enough power to maintain the empire from destruction after enduring this defeat, then the situation William will face will be very bad.
He will face the anger and hostility of a powerful empire that will last for hundreds, thousands of years, until it is destroyed.
Just like Tsarist Russia and Ottoman Türkiye in the previous life.
And after seeing how the powerful Hereford family will challenge their own status after their rise, the Britons will definitely do their best to aid Turkey.
Even like what happened in William's previous life, he did not hesitate to end his life personally and ruined Tsarist Russia's grand goal and plan of regaining Constantinople with a Crimean War.
This is so unfortunate.
"So."
William quickly determined what he should do next, how he should act next, and what his purpose was.
He must ensure victory in this war and annex Ruthenia and the Cuman Kipchak steppe.
This is the most basic project and must be completed no matter what.
On this basis, he must meet two prerequisites before he can continue to go south and annex Tronica.
One of the prerequisites for this is that he needs to confirm that the rule of the dark elves is weak and that the nations under the dark elves have the determination and persistence to resist the dark elves.
The second point is that he needs to confirm the strength of his teammates.
In other words, he must confirm that the Carpathians can win the victory against the Dark Elf division in the Balkans, and confirm the victory in the great sea battle in the Azure Sea.
Only when these conditions are met can the best and most beautiful result for the Hereford family be achieved.
Only in this way can William make up his mind to defeat the remaining main force of the Dark Elves in a decisive battle.
Otherwise, William would rather reach a relatively loose peace agreement with the dark elves, and would rather let the dark elves continue to maintain their rule.
He would rather not have so much honor, because it is meaningless and will make the Britons who are already very jealous of the Hereford family even more afraid of the family.
While they gained the wrath and hatred of the Ottoman Empire, they would also suffer the hostility and jealousy of the Britons.
At the same time, too many troops were lost and no actual benefits could be obtained.
In this way, the Hereford family will fall into a very passive and unfavorable situation.
By that time, it will be difficult to turn over.
The expansion of the Hereford family will encounter the strongest resistance.

The Second Empire he envisioned, and the plans for a New Empire, would die.
This is something that William cannot accept no matter what.
"So, first of all, I have to stabilize, yes, stabilize.
I have done everything I should do.
Then the next thing I should do is to wait.
Waiting for news from my allies, watching those guys or winning, Go to glory with me, or hold me back like any idiot or pig teammate," William thought in his heart.
"In addition, I should also test the attitude of the dark elves.
Whether their rule is strong.
And whether the female sultan has enough ability and skill to maintain the Ottoman Empire after this defeat. ”160420oshow7:
