In May, Tarta's army finally reluctantly left Ruthenia and the east bank of the Vistula River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info only because they have received a notice from Tronica. The fleet of the Dark Elves has smashed the Black Sea Navy of Tartaria in the Black Sea.

Speaking of which, it's no surprise that the Dark Elves will win.

Centaurs are not naturally good at water warfare due to their size. The navy of Tarta was overwhelmingly made up of Slavites.

The combat effectiveness and will to fight of these Slavians are debatable. In addition to this, Tarta was not as financially as good as Ottoman. At the same time, Tartaria is a land state. Not much is invested in the Navy.

Such a defensive navy with insufficient morale, insufficient investment, and few numbers. Against the elite of the dark elves, it is natural to be invincible.

After a major battle in the Black Sea, the remnants of the Slavic navy either surrendered or fled. The fires that raged in the Black Sea made the shore of Tronika seem like daylight for dozens of miles.

It was under these circumstances that the Dark Elves' army successfully landed and conquered the Crimean peninsula south of Tronica. The important ports of Yalta, Kerch were captured in a short time...... With the fall of these two important ports, thousands of garrisons were killed at the hands of the Dark Elves.

The death of these garrisons, coupled with the previously annihilated Black Sea Navy. Tartaria's forces in the Tronica region were wiped out.

This also meant that the Dark Elves could move north with little or no hindrance.

The action of the female Sudan Fatima is not small. The Dark Elves' expeditionary force advances both land and water, advancing at a terrifying speed. It seems that the entire Crimean peninsula will be annexed, and then it will go north, threatening Kherson, the capital of the Tronica region and the companion capital of the Tartarya Khanate.

In this case, if Sarida Khan had not been in a hurry, he would have become a saint.

Not only did the 50,000 Tartarian troops who confronted the coalition forces move south, but the 100,000 troops besieging Kyiv also began to move south.

Sarida Khan had to be anxious and cautious. - Just because the terrain of southern Tronica is fragmented, and there are many good harbors. In the absence of naval superiority, if he didn't act quickly, then it was impossible to say that the dark elves would really be able to dig this piece of meat from his khanate.

The economy of the Tronika region, its grain production, and the large number of scholars, industry and commerce, as well as the few modern industries of the Tartarian Khanate, could not afford to lose. Sarida Khan decided to fight hard this time.

And Sarida Khan went south so quickly and decisively to help. It also scared the dark elves out of the way.

Originally, the rapid offensive strategy of the female Sudan Fatima was a classic. Based on the superiority of the navy in speed, cruising and marching, it advanced rapidly in the Crimean region, which was densely populated with ports. That's a perfectly correct strategy. And the execution is very good.

As long as Tartaria's army was stunned, then the female Sudan Fatima would dare to vouch that the peninsula of Crimea would change hands.

However, this is all based on a premise. That premise is that Tartaria's centaurs don't have time to reflect.

When she received information that the speed of Sarida Khan's southward movement was almost unbelievable, the complexion of the female Sudan Fatima became as ugly as it could be.

Someone is messing around behind the scenes.

The female Su Dan quickly thought of this possibility.

And the most likely to make trouble, there is only one person that Fatima Sudan can think of.

"Wilhelm von Hereford. "Before the battle of the Isthmus of Perekop, the female Sudan said the name word by word, gritting her teeth.

At the same time, she also understood why William would do this:

Only in this way will the centaurs not lose the Crimean peninsula.

Just one step away, the army of dark elves will be able to reach the Isthmus of Perekop. Then take control of the entire Crimean peninsula.

The centaurs, who had absolutely no superiority in the navy, wanted to get in and out of the Crimean peninsula only through the only connection between the peninsula and the mainland, the Perekop Isthmus.

It's very narrow, only eight kilometers wide at its widest point. To the west is the Gulf of Calginette, bordered by the Sea of Azov, and to the east is Lake Sishva and the Black Sea. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as they hold this place, the centaurs will have to say goodbye to their important peninsula.

In this case, if they don't want their remaining coastal areas of Tronica to become a harbor infested by Dark Elf pirates, they will have to pinch their noses and agree with the Dark Elves' occupation of the Crimean Peninsula.

Yes, that's the plan for the female Sudan. Just a little bit away, the plan that can be realized.

However, it failed. Before the main force of the Centaurs appeared, militiamen from all over Tronika occupied the Isthmus of Perekop. And under the coercion and lure of huge bounties and combo methods, he blocked two rounds of attacks from the dark elves.

And in the end, when the female Sudan finally made up her mind to attack with her palace guards and the new Ottoman army, reinforcements from the Tartarya Khanate arrived.

A single charge of tens of thousands of heavily armed centaur warriors, regardless of casualties, directly destroyed the first array of dark elves. The dark elves, as well as the Turkic, Levantine and Berber soldiers under the control of the Ottoman Empire, were chased like ducks and slaughtered like dogs. Seeing that a fiasco is about to happen. The female Su Dan immediately announced the opening of the gun.

A total of more than 100 guns of various types opened fire at the same time. With a loud roar, the cast-iron projectile blasted several gaps into the array of centaur hoplites. Just suffered a defeat with the human coalition. Frightened by the power of the gunpowder weapons, the centaur forces immediately stopped attacking.

Thanks to this, the Dark Elf army has time to regroup.

With the new Ottoman army, which was heavily equipped with smoothbore guns, as the main force, combined with a large number of artillery units and Spasy cavalry, a second thick and extremely powerful array was formed. The Dark Elves are confident enough to withstand the cavalry armies of Tartaria.

But, at the same time, the female Sudan was still angry, very angry - because of William's words, she was destined to leave tens of thousands of corpses in this war, which had only half the chance of victory. Even if she is a person who is indispensable and thinks that she is rich in the world, she is very angry in the face of such a heavy loss.

Although she has not really met William yet, at this moment, the female Sudan has regarded William as her lifelong enemy.

"I never imagined that humans could be so brazen...... This time I made a note of it. William von Hereford. The next time we meet, there will be you good-looking. ”

Fatima Sudan thought so in his heart. At the same time, the order was loudly given: "The whole army advances! Seize the Perekop Isthmus!"

That's it. On the narrow battlefield of the Perekop Isthmus, the army of the Dark Elves and the army of centaurs fought a fierce battle - the Dark Elves came from afar, but had absolute naval superiority. The Centaur Khanate fought on the domestic front. However, it was a little powerless in the face of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Isthmus of Perekop, as well as the army of dark elves armed with gunpowder weapons.

As time went on, the battles between the two sides also escalated. The Centaur army could not cross the Dark Elves' defenses, and the Dark Elves could not cross the Isthmus of Perekop. At the same time, the Dark Elf Navy attacked the Centaur harbor cities along the Black Sea coast. forced the centaur army to divide the troops into four defenses. Unable to concentrate on the main force of the Dark Elves on the Isthmus of Perekop. But at the same time, the forces of the dark elves will not be able to occupy any of the cities on the Black Sea coast for long.

That's it. The war between the two sides was once again deadlocked.

At the same time, in the north, in the large border areas, the territories of the Slavians and Goths. The same has changed.

The first is the city of Kiev.

The city of Kyiv was saved. The city of Kyiv was held. The remaining Slavian nobles and commoners in the city were finally able to survive.

Miracles, miracles of miracles. There is no word to describe this except a miracle.

The Slavic nobles and commoners shouted and cheered loudly, as if they were crazy, desperately thanking the Lord of Glory they believed in—of course, their sect was somewhat different from the Holy See, and from the Goths.

Of course, in fact, instead of thanking the Lord of Light, they should have thanked William more. After all, they can survive now because of William's gift.

Of course, of course. William didn't need their thanks.

"Centaurs and dark elves ......?"

In Duke Otto's tent, William frankly explained the relationship between the two human enemies during this period of time: "Yes, centaurs and dark elves. ”

"You're really ......" After hearing William admit his relationship with the Southern War again, Duke Otto shook his head with a wry smile, wanting to evaluate what he had done, but he opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say.

"An army of more than 100,000 centaurs. Slightly inferior in number, but with a strong navy of dark elves. You've got two big troubles. William. ”

"They're not a nuisance, they're scumbags with a lot of power, but they're not very flexible here, and they can play around. William said as he gestured his finger to his head: "Moreover, this war, the war between centaurs and dark elves, will not stop so easily. So, Father, here comes our chance. ”

"......" Duke Otto frowned and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you want to do?"

"First, march into Ruthenia. William replied, "Of course, it wasn't our march into Ruthenia. It's the Gothic knights...... Didn't the Grand Master always want to rebuild the Knights' Kingdom?"

"They—are you going to give Ruthenia to the Gothic Knights?" said Duke Otto, in disbelief. He had the impression that his son was not a philanthropic person.

"Yes, the Gothic Knights...... Of course, there were also local Wende aristocrats. Didn't Grand Duke Henry want to be King of Vent? What greater feat, than to occupy an entire kingdom of the Slavites? If such a great deed was accomplished in his hands, what force could have prevented him from becoming King of Vent? Of course, the same principle could be applied to the other three Grand Dukes. ”
