"Really...... Confidence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" William thought for a moment, then changed "naïve" to "confident". Will the civil war end, will the empire be united? But Kalman IV is almost sixty years old. Even if the empire was able to ensure unity during his lifetime, what about when he died? As King of Great Moravia and King of the Magyars, he seems to be ...... There's no heir who can see it.

Although in this civil war, Loterania's power was greatly weakened. At the same time, the Lombardy region, like Wende, failed to elect a king for a long time. However, the Franconian kingdom retained the most strength in the civil war. Meanwhile in the eastern part of the empire, the Hereford family is on the verge of rising.

All this would threaten the reign of Kalman IV - after all, the Ostrogothic Empire had an outrageous system of electors voting for emperors. The degree of centralization is the lowest in the Old World. Perhaps these contradictions would not have been exposed when Kalman IV was alive. But when Kalman IV died, his family feared that he would lose control of the empire in the shortest possible time.

Because of this, William was not very concerned about the supreme power of the empire for a while. In his mind, the foundation of Wende and the land of the Slavites was enough to build a new empire that could rival all the powers of the Old World. Moreover, it is easier to build a new empire from the corpses of the Slavic states than to seize the supreme power of the Ostrogothic Empire, and then to implement the centralized power, abolish the electoral system, and implement the hereditary system of emperors.

Now, though. William saw another possibility.

"You've heard of ...... How many of the sons of Kalman IV were made of weapons?" William asked, following the information coming from Lotternia, turning his head to Charlumie.

"Hmm...... Never heard of it. Hearing Wright ask, she was a little baffled.

"That's it. William smiled: "The descendants of Kalman IV can only control their basic disks at best, that is, Great Moravia and Magyars. No...... Perhaps after the death of Kalman IV, the Magyars would also rebel. In short, no matter what, his position as emperor will definitely not be occupied. ”

"Are you interested in the position of the Emperor?" asked Charlumie.

"Of course. William stood up with a smile and spread his hands: "Don't you think I don't look like an emperor?"

If you change to a second person, hearing William say this, most of them will have a feeling of "shamelessness". But Charlumi is different. With her blind trust in William, she doesn't think William is talking big.

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do next?" said Charlumi with a smile.

"Originally, I really wanted to have fun during the Empire's civil war. Although Kalman IV is old, his use value is not small. If they can get his support, then the Hereford family will have no problem getting the throne of the Wende Kingdom...... It's just that...... Never mind. Hasn't there been any news from Sarida Khan yet?"

William said this not so much as asking Charlumi as he was talking to himself. Yes, there has been a steady stream of information from Sarida Khan in recent times. But most importantly, Sarida Khan's reply never arrived.

Although William could also judge Sarida Khan's next move from the movement of troops and materials. But if he could, William still wanted to be simpler, hoping that there would be more mutual trust between him and the "ally" of Sarida Khan.

Although it's really difficult.

"Nope. Perhaps knowing that William didn't need her to answer, Charlumi answered anyway.

"No......," William sighed, "Send another messenger to ask...... I also wrote him a handwritten letter. ”

After a little thought, William made this decision - even though the existence of Sarida Khan's army was now entirely due to William's support. But William also knew that the strong-spirited Sarida Khan would not accept any threats. The influence of the Hereford family on the Tartariya Khanate, or rather, on the Sarida Khan, was actually not very large.

Meanwhile. That is, at the same time as William dipped in ink and wrote a letter. In the southern region of Tronica, Sarida Khan finally made a decision - to fight, and must not continue to hold. Compared with William, in addition to being slightly stronger in personal combat effectiveness, he also has a second advantage - that is, his understanding of the grassland.

For nomadism, for the understanding of nomadic armies, for nomadic cavalry, Sarida Khan knew more than William.

"If I had 100,000 Slavians and Tronika centaurs under my command, I would never do that. I don't need to be reminded that I know how dangerous it is to fight the Dark Elves in such a situation - but I have under my command a hundred thousand Cumans - the nomadic cavalry of Chincha!"

Thinking of this, Sarida Khan was extremely angry with William and the Hereford family - if they hadn't crushed his new army of Slavi, his cowardice, and his army of Tronica, how could he have done such a dangerous thing?

So at the end of the day, it's all William's fault. In the eyes of Sarida Khan, William was the culprit behind the fall of the powerful empire of the Tartarian Khanate! Like a sinister viper, it manipulated all this like a black hand behind the scenes -- when the world gave the highest glory of defeating the Tartariya Khanate to William's father, Archduke Otto, apart from William's own unfairness, it was Salida Khan who had the hardest time accepting this.

But, of course, he still had a little misunderstanding about this matter.

"Insidious, cunning, despicable!"

On the day he learned of this, Sarida Khan smashed all the fragile items he could find. And then scolded like this.

Obviously, he misunderstood that it was William who gave up these honors on his own initiative—because of what William had done, he greatly overestimated William's ability, and thought that unless William gave up this honor, Archduke Otto would never have been able to obtain it. At the same time, because of William's actions, Sarida Khan regarded this as another conspiracy of William.

A venomous snake hiding in the shadows, a dagger behind its back, an inconspicuous assassin - these are the deadliest things. Naturally, Sarida Khan knew this. And he thought William knew this—and to his surprise, William "could withstand the temptation of these glories."

It was at the same time that Duke Otto was receiving the blessings of all the people of the Old World, and Tharida Khan made Wilhelm von Hereford his most formidable enemy.

But of course, there's no point in discussing these things right now. Now Tartaria is not only unable to fight William, but must rely on the strength of the Hereford family to survive - to live on the strength of his greatest enemy, the greatest enemy, which is arguably the most unacceptable thing in the world. Eventually, however, Sarida Khan did. And it's done very thoroughly.

This may be one of the reasons why Sarida Khan is determined to fight the dark elves. If he can win this battle, then the rest of the matter will be much easier. Even if he came next, he still couldn't live without the help of the Hereford family. But it will never be the worst-case scenario he had planned - that is, to completely fall to the Hereford family and become a vassal of the Hereford family.

That's it. Sarida Khan concentrated his most elite troops in the shortest possible time. The new cowardice is composed of the bravest and best-equipped warriors drawn from the various tribes.

Although this new Cowardly Xue army is inferior to the old Cowardly Xue in terms of weapons and equipment, training level and actual combat experience. But they were not without merit - they were more fanatical and hard-working than the old cowardly army - and this was one of the reasons why Sarida Khan thought his tactics could succeed.

In this way, in the end, Sarida Khan still did not obediently listen to William. Shortly after Sarida Khan's army was launched, the Dark Elves' army of hundreds of thousands also received information. They were astonished and pleasantly surprised to find that Sarida Khan's army had left their fortified defenses. Left the barren, uninhabited prairie. They took the initiative to launch an attack on South Tronica, which was under their control.

"It will win, it will win!" everyone in the expeditionary force cheered feverishly. In their opinion, the end of this war was already preordained after Sarida Khan made such a decision.

A few days later, William received the same information. After astonishment, anger, and contempt for Sarida Khan. William, who had a sharper strategic vision and a richer source of intelligence than those dark elves, saw something else in Sarida Khan's movements.

"Maybe it will work. "After putting himself in the position of Sarida Khan, William thought carefully and calculated. Then it was concluded: "If, Sarida Khan, really the best hussar commander of this era, then ...... Maybe it will work...... Just ......"

In this contemplation, William began to mobilize the army of the Hereford family, the White Army, and the new Circassian army was ready at the first time. At the same time, the towns and villages of the Duchy of Mystia and the Grand Duchy of Novgorod were also summoned. If necessary, William would recruit an additional 5,000 new troops in these two regions, or mobilize between 20,000 and 50,000 temporary conscripts.

- Despite some confidence in Sarida Khan, William felt that it was better to plan ahead.
