Chapter 142: Uneasy

85_85536During her time with William, Freya also learned to use William's favorite brute force.

If you use this method to analyze, then first determine the first point. William's judgment was correct, Sarida Khan would indeed not attack the human side in winter.

In this case, there are two possibilities. The first is the best outcome, and that is that Sarida Khan is a mediocre commander. He can only think of the first layer that everyone can think of, and make the simplest logical thinking. That is, winter is not suitable for marching - so I don't march.

The second option is even worse. That is, Sarida Khan is a very good strategist. His thinking was the same as William's most correct thought before. That is, everybody thinks that winter is not a good way to march, so if you do the opposite, it is possible to do wonders in winter - but, as the dominant and active side, I don't need to take the risk of gambling - so I don't march.

If this is the case, then Sarida Khan is definitely a terrible enemy.

This is not what William said. In his description, Sarida Khan was a tyrant who rejoiced in his successes. And if it is according to the description of Sarida Khan by William, then the winter attack, which can attract people's attention and prove his "ability", is the most correct.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Freya made this judgment.

But William did not hesitate to say that he was wrong. Other words......

"Could it be ......" Freya made a terrible inference from this incident, and then, her expression became a little ugly. And it's getting ugly.

"What's wrong with you, Aunt Freya?" William asked with concern when he noticed something was wrong with her.

Whether it was out of affection between relatives or for practical gain, William didn't want Freya to do anything.

Seeing William's concerned gaze, Freya smiled reluctantly. At the same time, I felt in my heart that I was thinking a little too much.

"Probably not, right?" Freya thought.

And through Guò Freya's expression, as well as thinking back to what he said before, William probably understood the reason why the other party was suddenly in a trance and his expression was very bad.

"It's a little careless. William thought to himself. At the same time, he secretly warned himself that he couldn't be so careless in his words in the future. This is true even when dealing with one's own loved ones.

Yes. In the eyes of William, who has more comprehensive intelligence analysis skills, his enemy, Sarida Khan, is indeed a man of outstanding ability...... Or rather, centaurs. He is by no means a reckless man, and he is by no means a mediocre person. And when he discussed Sarida Khan with others, although he did his best to slander the other party, when he really analyzed the battle situation, he would put him in a very high position.

This also caused a discrepancy between him and Freya. This, in turn, caused Freya to be suspicious of William.

"But it doesn't matter. William thought to himself: "The situation is not as bad as it used to be. It can be said that the current situation is ready to fly and has to be sent. It is impossible to stop the advance of the war plane, which is already fully operational. There will be countless stupid, or ill-intentioned people who will endorse the lies I have concocted. The Gothic Knights wanted to get out, but it was too late. ”

He thought to himself. The mood was a little heavy: "Then there is only one thing to do." Await...... While waiting, try to take yourself out as much as possible. In order to prevent yourself from becoming a scapegoat after the defeat of this war, and the target of your allies. ”

William thought to himself. At the same time, in correspondence with his father, Duke Otto, he told the Duke to adjust his rhetoric and style.

He wanted Duke Otto to to come out as a simple warrior, or a soldier. Let the nobles think that Duke Otto is easy to fool and easy to use. In internal and external negotiations, Duke Otto excused himself from a lot of "scenery" on the grounds of his own lack of ability.

In this way, the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, and indeed the nobles of the entire Gothic Empire, applauded the humility of Duke Otto. In this case, in another important document related to the war, Duke Otto becomes an ordinary signatory, rather than an initiator.

That was the non-aggression pact with the four Slavic kingdoms.

As mentioned earlier, the enmity between the Slavians and the Goths is as deep as the sea, and the contradictions between the two sides are no less than those with Tartaria. While fighting with Tartaria, the two sides had to devote part of their forces and military strength to spy on each other.

This results in a huge waste of resources.

In the absence of any recourse, both sides had to continue to do so, despite their displeasure.

So William gave Duke Otto a little idea. And Duke Otto also gave Archduke a small idea.

That is, the two sides exchange observers. to monitor the number of troops stationed in the border areas of the opposing side.

Under these circumstances, the two sides were finally able to grudge the issue of mutual trust. Discussions on the alliance then began.

Of course, in the end, because of the deep grievances, the Slavites did not sign an alliance with the Grand Dukes of the Wende Kingdom. Only each took a step back and signed a non-aggression pact.

The subtext is that you hit yours, and I hit mine. We don't interfere with each other, and we don't support each other. Who can live and who can die depends on the individual's ability.

That's it. The Wende people, with William's efforts, had already completed preparations for the upcoming Second Great Frontier War. All that was needed was a quiet wait, waiting for time to pass, for the spring to bloom, for the fabled destroyer of the world, the centaur, the assemblage of the nomadic army of Tartaria. The army of Sarida Khan arrived.

In other words, this winter will be the last period of peace that some people can enjoy.

The Crusades of the Gothic Knights were growing.

The Empire, mired in civil strife, was unable to provide the Wende with actual support, but thanks to the guò nobility, they were able to raise a large enough army.

Mercenaries, mercenaries and mercenaries. Lombardy, Frisia, Visigothic, Polotsk, Bern and the Reich proper. Mercenaries from all over the world are pouring towards the kingdom of Wende. The vast majority of them were ready to accept the Wende, or Goth, for hire. Others wondered if they wanted to contact the Tartarians......

The atmosphere of war was already strong, and it felt like pouring cold water on an open gas stove. Although it seems to be able to block those flammable and explosive unstable gases in a short period of time. But the results were much more terrifying
