In this way, the Hereford family entered a period of stable and prosperous development. otbnkotgt To the east of the Hereford family, there are large areas of wilderness, swamps, permafrost and large black pine forests.
It is conservatively estimated that the Hereford family will not be able to effectively develop and utilize this area within two hundred years.
To the south of the Herefords.
It was the Ottoman Empire that had just signed an armistice agreement with the family.
Although considering the urinary nature of the dark elves as a race, William guarantees that they will definitely make some.
No, or rather not a few, but many small actions behind the scenes.
Even some frictions in border areas and even small-scale military battles will not stop.
But generally speaking, the Ottoman Empire will never launch another large-scale attack before completing military reforms and figuring out tactics to defeat the Hereford family.
More importantly, William had already made the decision to entrust the pastures in the south, near the Crimean Peninsula, north of Tronica, to his Cossack leaders.
Among them were the Crimean Khan and the five additionally canonized Cossack Hetmans of Zaporozhye.
These people would become the breakwater between House Hereford and the Ottoman Empire.
In this way, the situation in the south is basically stable.
At the end, to the west, is the Hereford family.
Three directions, two of which cannot expand.
The war against the Ottoman Empire has just ended, and there will probably be no more disturbances in the short term.
In this case, launching an attack to the west and southwest, that is, launching a war against the empire, is the only possible war mode for the Hereford family.
It is precisely for this reason.
So after hearing that the Hereford family ended the war with the Ottoman Empire, there were still two sectarian groups in the empire, the old and the new.
Emperor Kalman IV and Her Majesty the British Queen focused all their energy and attention on the Hereford family.
At present, the overall situation of the sectarian war is very unfavorable to Emperor Kalman IV.
He lost all his allies and friendly countries.
In the new round of fighting, the only Principality of Bern that was willing, or was forced to stand with him, was finally defeated by the Protestant coalition forces.
The vast mountains and swamps of Bern still failed to stop the coalition forces with huge material resources and military strength.
After the capture of the castle of Bern, the emperor's most important ally, the elector whom he had once promised, the new king was defeated.
Together with the Franconian territory he carved up, they were captured by the Protestant Alliance.
In the process of dealing with the Principality of Bern and the Kingdom of Franconia, the de facto rulers of the coalition, the Britons, were very cunning.
Considering that this area is full of mountains, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
And it was too far away from the area of solid control of the Britons.
Therefore, the Britons decided to completely dismember the entire Kingdom of Franconia and the Principality of Bern.
Just like the Kingdom of Lotharnia.
They deposed the Salian family on the grounds that the Salian family was a dynasty and did not have any noble dignity and restraint.
The family lost their title of King of Franconia and retained only a small territory in the southwest of the kingdom.
Most of the remaining kingdom territories were "generously" enfeoffed by the Britons to the local nobles.
The entire Franconia, as well as the entire Principality of Bern, was eventually divided into more than twenty counties and free cities, or bishoprics, that were not subordinate to each other.
The Britons controlled the power of these earls, mayors and bishops very skillfully.
Keeping their power balanced, no one can defeat or annex any opponent.
To ensure that this land cannot be unified in a short time.
As a result, another elector, a king, a long-standing dynasty and family in the empire were declared extinct.
The nearly thirty small states established on these ruins were weak in strength and hostile to each other, so they had no other choice but to obey the Britons and take whatever they asked for.
The Visigothic Kingdom was in civil strife, and the Lombard navy had just been defeated, creating a chaotic situation.
The Protestant coalition forces led by Briton no longer had any worries.
They have turned the entire Kingdom of Franconia and the Principality of Bern into their own backyard, so they are naturally very happy.
The British Continentalists believed that this was a great victory under their leadership.
And then, they can concentrate on dealing with Emperor Kalman IV.
“Yet Kalman IV persisted.”

This is the latest information William has received.
Although the situation is extremely unfavorable.
Although even the northern part of Greater Moravia, the Bohemian region, was lost, Franconia was also lost.
The two traditional external vassal states of the empire, Lombardy and Carpathia, were also lost.
However, Yes, but.
But the emperor persisted.
In this territory called Austria, which could barely be called a kingdom, he led his remaining less than 30,000 soldiers, relying on the mountains and rugged terrain in the southern part of the empire to persist.
The people who have persisted until now are the empire's most loyal and stubborn warriors.
In this case, they are difficult to surrender and difficult to defeat.
Even though the economy is extremely bad.
But they also have a secret route to transport supplies to continue the fight.
That was the Hereford family's supplies transported through the Carpathians.
William wanted to keep the war going.
It would be best to fight for a few years or more.
When his magical power is complete, the Hereford family will be united into a monolith, and then go out to destroy everyone.
Therefore, he will do his best to assist the weak imperial army.
In fact, the thing that Kalman IV regrets most now is the Battle of Magdeburg.
If there had been no Battle of Magdeburg, and if he had realized earlier that William's alliance with the Protestants and the Britons were not of the same mind, then he would have reached a tacit understanding with William long ago.
Then, without suffering the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Magdeburg, his situation would definitely be much better than it is now.
It's just something like this that I just think about casually.
There is no regret medicine that can be sold in the world.
If you have done something wrong, you must have the courage to take responsibility.
The old emperor is now relying on one breath to support himself.
Even without anyone knowing, the old emperor will secretly use opium to boost his spirits.
He has overdrawn all his life force, will and spirit.
He staked everything on this war.
Yes, at present, it seems that if no miracle occurs, he will no longer be able to become the greatest emperor in history, and he will be unable to unite the entire empire in his own hands.
But the fact that Jiu San is like this doesn't mean that he is willing to become the sinner of his family and the fool who leads the entire Swabian family to destruction.
Although the current situation is very unfavorable for the Swabian family.
Although every day, the number of people, land and troops under his control is constantly reduced.
But he is still working hard, still working hard, gritting his teeth and persisting.
He believes the situation will get better over time.
With his persistence and efforts, his enemies will realize that the Austrian Kingdom in the mountains is by no means an object they can conquer.
They will compromise, yes, they will definitely compromise.
Next, a decent agreement will come.
Even if he lost all the territories gained in the early stages of the war, even Bohemia in the north, at least he could barely maintain a kingdom.
The Swabian family still has the capital to make a comeback and can still persist.
That's it, the emperor told himself through constant, constant, self-hypnosis-like psychological suggestions that he should continue to fight.
However, the tactics of this spirit are one thing, and the actual situation is another.
He needed moral comfort, but he wanted practical help even more.
From the current point of view, the only actual assistance the Swabian family can obtain is the Hereford family.
The Herefords join the fight.
The Herefords joined the battle with Carpathia and Lombardy.
The new alliance will form an army of 100,000 or even 200,000 people.
By the best general in the world, it was William who defeated the Ottoman army after the details of the Battle of Kiev were revealed.

The vast majority of people in the world already believe, or have admitted, that William von Hereford is the best general in the world, and there is no one.
However, the emperor also knew.
It is unlikely that William and his family collectively took the wrong medicine.
But what if, what if, what if?
What if William finally realizes, what if William finally thinks of it, if after the Swabian family is unlucky, the Hereford family will be next, What if he still wants to legally annex the territory of the Swabian family?
He also remembered the words of his father's engagement to the Duchess of Tyrol.
So, wouldn’t the Swabian family be saved?
It was almost like the principal in 1949 who placed all his hopes on such small-probability events as Dewey winning the U.S. election and the outbreak of World War III.
Emperor Kalman IV, who was such a heroic and high-spirited guy once upon a time, has now fallen into crazy and unrealistic delusions, pinning all his hopes on a small probability event with little hope. 160420oshow7:
