The spring of 1744 passed in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info With the dark elves waging a war against the Hereford family under the banner of holy war. The whole known old world is in chaos......

In addition to the war between the old and new sects, which is now raging, and the third Great Frontier War that is about to begin. In the west, which was originally barely a stable human world, the clouds of chaos also shrouded it.

The Visigothic kingdom is currently the only place in the entire human world that has not been affected by the war, and at the same time, it is probably the kingdom in the worst economic situation in the entire human world.

After several parliamentary meetings to propose tax hikes to ease fiscal pressures have failed. King Louis XVI began to shout in anger. He spawned his subjects as rebels, commoners, capitalists, and merchants as ungrateful pariahs, and he scolded the nobles, claiming that they had taken over countless benefits and hollowed out the foundation of the country like moths. The clergy were also his targets.

He claimed to be so devout to the Lord of Radiance. But these priests of the Lord of Light are ambitious bastards. These guys are more serious in crime than the nobles, because they have a higher IQ than the nobles.

All in all, Louis XVI was that kind of scolding. Curse the commoners, the capitalists, the merchants, the nobles, the clergy, the army, the navy, the ministers, the courtiers, the courtiers, the concubines and the queen.

It felt that Louis XVI only felt that there was no good person in this world except himself. It also felt that Louis XVI did not think at all that there was a reason why the country had come to this point. He only blames those others.

But, of course, Louis XVI's scolding, drunkenness, and the forced collection of taxes by his tax collectors did not allow him to discover the conscience of the object of his revival, that is, the entire Visigothic kingdom, as mentioned above.

On the contrary, many people thought that the king had gone mad.

Under these circumstances, the king's coercive policy, instead of making the situation better, caused further confusion throughout the Visigothic realm.

In Paris, the capital of Visigothic, large numbers of citizens took to the streets to protest against the massive additional taxes that had been levied indiscriminately. At the same time, several of Louis XVI's brothers, the princes, also contributed to the trouble, as if hoping to make a profit from it.

Although many people believe that the current seat of Louis XVI is a volcanic crater. But the princes who were faint were desperately trying to sit on the crater, even if the next second, the lava gushing out of the ground would make his bones gone.

That's it, after William got the information, he judged a little in his heart, and then came to a conclusion, that is, His Majesty the King was probably already in trouble. Either it is called an uprising, or it is called a riot, or it is called a mutiny. Whatever it is called, all in all, that guy is in trouble.

"But it has nothing to do with me. Thinking of this, William thought with a little ease. Well, yes, it doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter if the king dies or not. At present, the Hereford family cannot even fully control the Ostrogothic Empire. The riots that took place in Visigoth, of course, did not have any effect on themselves. On the other hand, in the Visigothic riots, William did not get any chance.

Well, or that's not too right.

Although the market share is not too large, some of the Hereford family's goods, especially agricultural products, can still be sold to the Visigothic kingdom to some extent. If there were any turmoil in the Visigothic kingdom, the Hereford family's commerce, manufacturing, and agriculture would be somewhat affected.

Fortunately, Visigothic is not an important market for the Hereford family, and fortunately, the Hereford family's goods have enough sales channels to change the export target. Whether it is the inside of the empire where the head of a man is beaten out of the head of a dog, or the Ottoman Empire, which looks like a god who has waged war, has not stopped any commercial activities. The thriving New World, the Neo-Gothic colonies, and other territories, the Kingdom of Asturias, and the vast colonies in the southern part of the New World......

All in all, so many places for the Hereford family to dump their goods. The Hereford family should be more concerned about their lack of productivity than about the lack of sales for their manufactured goods, agricultural products and other goods.

That's it.

After only thinking about it for a moment and sighing a little, William put the matter behind him...... Although, this world has a lot of similarities with William's previous world. In William's previous life, the kingdom of France was revolutionized to provoke one of the most extensive wars in modern European history, and spread new ideas and doctrines to all parts of the continent.

But William doesn't think the same thing will happen once in this world. Because the situation is completely different, the Kingdom of France, the French Republic, the French Empire in the previous life...... There were too many coincidences, too many accidents, too many incredible, and too many historical mysteries throughout the French Revolution. William doesn't think the same thing can happen again in a world that looks similar, but is actually completely different.

If nothing else, let's talk about the knightly class. The knightly class has not completely withdrawn from the stage of history in this world. And the countries of the European continent have even rarely completed the centralization and unification. In this context, the new radical ideas, humanism and liberalism, although somewhat spreading, did not have a far-reaching impact.

More attention is paid to sectarian reform. The more radical ideas, all hidden under the mask of the more "pure-hearted" new sects, have not yet fully surfaced. In this case, William never thought that the same thing would happen again.

"So, that's a real worrisome," William smiled, unimpressed.

Compared to the riots that are about to take place in the Visigothic kingdom, or an uprising, or whatever happens. William is still more worried about the upcoming war in Kyiv.

Yes, Kyiv has already started a war at the moment. Although the main forces of both sides are still in preparation. But the skirmish has already begun.

Knowing that the Hereford family's army was sending those Slavites to their controlled area, the Dark Elves' front-line commander reacted immediately. They take it for granted that the population of the towns and villages gathered around the city of Kyiv means something to the city of Kyiv.

With little hesitation, the Dark Elf commander made the decision to send reinforcements to the front.

And the reinforcements he sent were, of course, the fastest cavalry troops.

The first reinforcement army, consisting of a handful of Slavian noble cavalry who had taken refuge with the Dark Elves, plus a handful of nomadic cavalry and a handful of centaurs, had arrived. At the same time, a second reinforcement corps consisting of Levantine, Turkic cavalry had also arrived. The light cavalry unit with the dark elves as the main force, that is, the third cavalry, is also approaching.

That's it. There are more than three thousand, there are those miscellaneous soldiers, there are regular troops, and there are also elites. The only thing they have in common is that these guys are all cavalry.

Well, yes, cavalry, very good cavalry. The Slavic Boya cavalry, armed with rifles, javelins and battle axes, is an elite unit in traditional scale armor. The centaurs were also the best cavalry of the era. The nomadic cavalry wore leather armor and armed with compound bows. This is the most typical Eastern cavalry unit. It is also one of the most common types of cooperation in large border areas.

The Levantines and Turks were a different story. These two peoples are the cornerstone of the army that makes up the Ottoman Empire of the Dark Elves. The most typical Eastern cavalry unit. The most typical light cavalry, scimitars, horses that can maneuver at the fastest speed, mounted spears, shields and compound bows. Although these units may seem somewhat backward and outdated in this day and age, they are still a formidable cavalry force.

And those dark elf cavalry are even more terrifying.

They are equipped with black crazy war horses that have grown up using special feeds since childhood, and are better than ordinary war horses, and their personalities are more irritable. Equipped with a cavalry crossbow that is more effective and lethal than a cavalry bow. Because their horses have much better endurance and weight than ordinary horses, it is only natural that they can be equipped with heavier armor without affecting their mobility.

These dark elf cavalry are such a formidable force. In the Great Frontier, any child has heard tales of the Dark Elves' bravery and savagery and cruelty. They are second only to centaurs, and the best weapon for adults when it comes to scaring disobedient children.

And in the case of the collapse of the centaur Tartariya Khanate, and the chosen successors of Sarida Khan have all become the Cossacks of the Hereford family, and only have an empty title of Crimean Khan, the dark elves have naturally become the first in the horror story......

It's just a great pity that it's practically useless.

At least, there is little use in real, soldier-to-soldier, skirmishes.

The Levantines, Turks, Slavits, Nomads, and Centaurs who had come to their aid and began the battle of the Rangers in small groups were surprised and terrified to discover that their enemies were stronger and more terrifying than they had imagined.

It's not just because there are more of these Hereford cavalry.

Although it had only been formally trained for a short time, the 1st Cossack Cavalry Brigade, with its regularity, armament, and combat effectiveness, was able to fully crush the Slavits, nomads, and centaurs.

At a time when the Hereford family's steel production easily exceeded 10,000 tons, steel weapons and armor are no longer a big deal. And the centaurs, fully equipped with heavy plate armor and heavy cavalry spears, can transform into the most fearsome assault cavalry of this era. Fighting such heavy cavalry on a flat steppe is practically no different from suicide.

And for those Levantines and Turks, who were more organized, more cunning, more tenacious and warlike, and already had the rudiments of modern cavalry, it may not be too difficult to fight against the Cossack cavalry, but in the face of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of mankind, these already highly organized, pure cavalry, they will not perform much better than the steppe nomads they have always looked down upon.

Although, in a sense, the Levantines and the Turks were indistinguishable from these steppe nomads thousands of years ago......

In this way, the lancers, cuirassiers, and revolvers, armed with muskets, cuirasses, and revolvers, can be described as light-hearted when slaughtering the Levantines and Turks who resemble the modern times, but in fact do not meet the standards of modern cavalry. For them, there was no better opponent than the "regular cavalry" of the Ottomans.
