Over the next few days, William's messenger brought orders from House Hereford as quickly as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

William ordered them to sweep the perimeter of the city of Kiev as fast as possible. Take control of this area as quickly as possible, and all the people will be in your own hands.

Although the vanguard forces of the Dark Elves control the city of Kyiv, they do not have the ability to control the area around Kyiv. Because they have fewer forwards than the Hereford family. The forward unit of the Hereford family had two brigades. The 1st Separate Cavalry Brigade had 3,000 combatants. And the 1st Cossack Cavalry Brigade, that is, the army of the Centaur Makrimean Khan, also had more than 2,000 cavalry and centaurs.

The two brigades together had a total of 5,000 troops. Several times the number of Dark Elf troops. The vanguard of the dark elves could only hold the city of Kyiv and did not dare to go out at all.

Fear of defeat is one of the reasons. On the other hand, Yuan Yin was even more afraid that they would leave Kiev on the front foot, and the Slavian nobles in Kiev on the back foot closed the city gate as quickly as possible and sold them.

It didn't matter to these Slavic nobles in Kyiv, whether it was the Hereford family, the dark elves of the south, or the centaurs who once ruled them. All are aggressors of one nature. They have no inclinations to speak of. If they could, they would prefer to restore their independence and rebuild the Kingdom of Ruthenia.

It's just that with their population of more than 100,000 people, it is simply impossible to do this with the strength of several thousand militias. They can only choose one strong man to take refuge in. Even as a wall grass, after taking refuge in this, seeing that one is stronger, he abandons the former and takes refuge in the latter.

William knew this very well, as did the vanguard of the Dark Elves who had entered the city of Kyiv. That's why they didn't dare to ......

Now, there are less than a thousand Dark Elf warriors in Kyiv. Either defend the city, or it is better for the other party not to attack themselves. The Slavic nobles say every day that villages, towns, and settlements have been attacked, and if they expect them to go out of the city and save the Slavians from fire and water, they think they are farting.

Unless the main army of the Dark Elves arrives, they will never leave the city. Even, they will never leave the city gatehouse, the Kyiv parliament and other vital places. The fear is that the Slavians will secretly open the gates of the city and let in the army of the Hereford family, or instigate a rebellion in the city.

In fact, it was not only the dark elves who were afraid, but also the Slavic commoners and nobles in Kyiv.

They were first afraid that the war between the Hereford family and the dark elves would affect them. In the past, in the Second Great Frontier War, the whole of Ruthenia was destroyed, and they did not want to suffer again.

They are now caught between these two behemoths. It's like a poor little British donkey caught between a giant North American bison and a huge Russian polar bear during the Yalta Conference. It was like a pitiful dried fruit sandwiched between the nutcrackers.

It is in the middle, as the focus, as the object of contention between the two forces, the core. The feeling in the hearts of the Slavites is definitely not good. Desperate, desperate, I am afraid that there are not a few people who feel that their lives are finished.

They were second to fear the defeat of the dark elves.

These Slavites have dealt with the Dark Elves. Knowing that these noble-looking, well-mannered guys are actually black in heart and skin. These guys don't blink an eye when they kill, and they don't care at all about killing a hundred thousand, or more Slavites.

If these people are defeated, then they will definitely kill all, all, of the Slavians gathered around the city of Kyiv in order to give nothing to the Hereford family. To make this area useless, it is believed that between Tronika and Novgorod, a blank no-man's land will be created. Make it more difficult for the Hereford family to attack south, and extend the opponent's supply route to provide their own convenience.

In addition to this, they are also afraid of the Hereford family winning.

Although many people believe that the Hereford family will properly settle these Slavians after the victory. But there are also quite a few Slavians who are afraid. They feared that they would not want to continue south to attack Tronica after the Hereford family had taken over the place. But it ends here.

They were equally afraid, and the Hereford army killed them all.

And the reason why I am so frightened is because the Hereford family represents the Goths. Gothic colonizers.

In hundreds, if not thousands. The Goths from the empire kept pushing their colonies eastward. They continued to kill, drove the Slavites, and then migrated the Goths here. Occupy their land, pastures, wealth, and even women.

The border aristocracy of the Hereford family, as well as the former Gothic Knights, are representative products of this colonial migration. The Slavic people remember the Gothic occupation and even the treatment of genocidal policies vividly.

Although in recent times, the Slavians have been treated relatively well. In the areas controlled by the Herefords, especially in Russia, the Slavits, as the second largest ethnic group, are not discriminated against and treated differently. Quite a few Slavites have begun to become Gothic. Slavi entered a Gothic academy, then studied the Hereford family's textbooks, and after graduation served as a junior civil servant, an officer, and a junior officer.

In this case, the Slavians in Kiev also felt that the Herefords would not exterminate them.

But they were still afraid.

What if, what if? What if the other side doesn't think so? Who can vouch for those Goth tyrants, all have only one life, and their own life is the most precious. No one would want to waste their life.

It is in this situation that the Slavians believe that the right thing to do is now, or rather, the least costly and least dangerous option. It is to continue to cooperate with the dark elves who have taken the lead in the city. Resist the invasion of the Hereford family's army, so that they can save their lives.

Uh-huh, what a good idea, it couldn't have been better—until they met the Heritford family envoy, and saw William's handwritten letter.

Along with William, letters to his cavalry commanders came, as well as letters to the Slavic Council of Kiev city, as well as his messengers.

Comparing hearts to hearts, William knew too well what was going on in the hearts of these Slavits. And in this case, if you want to go south and fight for Tronica, you have to cooperate with the Slavians. In this case, messengers were sent, promises were made to the Slavians, and even to them were promised that after this war, the Slavians would be given greater and more power. These were the first things William had to do.

If the female Sudan Fatima knew about this, she would probably be made to laugh and cry by William's methods. Because William used an example when he made a promise to the Slavites. That is, the example of the Peloponnesians. These people once supported the dawn of civilization in the human world together with the Goths in the classical era. There was even a time when a rather brilliant and powerful empire was built.

Its territory encompassed the entire present-day Ottoman Empire, then extended into the territory of the Zoroastrian Empire, and eventually into northwestern India.

Of course, such a powerful empire was only a flash in the pan in history. For the vast majority of the time, these Peloponnesians ruled in the eastern part of the azure sea.

As time gradually entered the Middle Ages, the rule of the Peloponnesians gradually collapsed, disintegrated, and finally reduced to an insignificant small people in the southern Balkan Peninsula, the Peloponnesian region, which was their homeland and the birthplace of civilization.

Moreover, even in such a corner there was no unified Peloponnesian kingdom, or republic. The Peloponnesians were torn apart, and their rule was humble and weak.

It was in this situation that the Dark Elves appeared, and they swept the entire eastern part of the Azure Sea with an unstoppable attitude, and at the height of their power, even annexed the entire Zoroastrian Empire, as well as went north, annexed the vast majority of the Asturian territories, and occupied Sicily in the south of the Lombardy Peninsula.

It was with the "help" of the dark elves that the Peloponnesians regained their "glory". Because they were the first "civilized" humans to be conquered by the dark elves. They helped the Dark Elves establish a rule that was truly effective. And, with the help of the Dark Elves, the entire empire was reunited. Although in this empire, it is the dark elves who dominate and rule. The Peloponnesians, on the other hand, were able to occupy second place.

Compared to the Berbers, Levantines and Turks who could only fight, who were very savage, who could only serve as soldiers, peasants and coolies. The Peloponnesians were smarter and harder. In the following days, during the Ottoman Empire of the Dark Elves, usually their Grand Vizier, or Prime Minister, was a Peloponnesian.

Although they have not been able to acquire a powerful empire of their own, compared to their life in the south of the peninsula, it is very sad, fragmented, insignificant, and as unknown as dust. It's as if they're living in heaven.

William's hope was for the Slavians to learn from these Peloponnesians. In fact, many times in history, these Slavians have been learning from them. And William also hinted at these guys about their future.

It is under the control of the Hereford family that occupies a rather important position. Like the Peloponnesians in the imperial court of the Dark Elves.
