Yes, as William said, Sarida Khan is bankrupt. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe original extravagant, enviable and corrupt life has left him...... Tronica, the land that haunted him, he had completely lost his expectations.

The land of Ruthenia was originally fertile, and it was not bad in terms of agriculture or products. In William's previous life, it was not for nothing that it became the breadbasket of Eastern Europe.

It's just a pity that no matter how good the land is, it's useless if no one cultivates it. At that time, the Crimean Khanate also occupied the treasure land of Tronica, but this group of nomadic barbarians was poor and had to go out and rob like nomadic barbarians to escalate.

The same is true for centaurs...... Or even more serious. These warrior races, who considered themselves superior and superior to others, did not even do very well the basic productive skills of the nomadic race, that is, herding, because the average nomad had to rely on herding horses to obtain cavalry troops. But centaurs don't need to, they themselves have their own cavalry attributes......

In this case, the centaurs were very, very, very in need of the Slavians - if the Slavians had not been productive enough to feed the centaur army, the Tartalya Khanate would have collapsed -

It's like this.

After nearly two years of tug-of-war with the Dark Elves, Sarida Khan was surprised to discover that he had no money. And the reason why he has no money, the reason is obvious, is because he has no Slavites.

The Slavic region of Tronika, which is close to two million, is no longer owned by him...... The Slavitians of Ruthenia and Perm were tormented to death by years of war...... And so they really died...... Or go north and flee to Russia.

In recent times, the number of refugees received by Russia has dropped significantly. But more than a year ago, when Sarida Khan was preparing for a counterattack on Tronika with a large amount of arms aid from the Hereford family, Russia received thousands of Slavic refugees every month...... The vast majority of these Slavi refugees are young males. One or two are face yellow muscle lean dystrophy...... And Russian officials responsible for receiving and resettling refugees believe that the number of Slavits who died directly or indirectly in the war must be ten times that number...... And even more.

In this way, Ruthenia and Perm once gave birth to the glorious Slavic Empire, and once lived tens of millions of Slavites. Once upon a time, the fields were full of farmland and pastures, large and small cities, towns, villages and lumber yards.

At that time, Ruthenia, as the core area of the ancient Slavic Empire, was extremely powerful and wealthy...... If the Slavites, who lived in that era, traveled to this era and saw all this...... Most of them will be in disbelief.

Today, the number of Slavites still living in Ruthenia is conservatively estimated to be no more than 50,000 - not even as much as in Perm, which suffered much less from the fighting because of its remoteness and insignificance, and which, together with the spontaneous Slavitians who fled spontaneously, the population of the Pirm region is conservatively estimated to be at least twice that of Ruthenia.

That's 100,000 people.

Of course, this is of no avail.

Whether it is 100,000 or 50,000, it makes no sense for a great empire that wants to be strong and declares itself to be the number one in the world. Those empires that are truly powerful can reach or even exceed this number in terms of the population of their capitals alone. And whether it is 50,000 or 100,000 people, there is no way to support an army of more than 100,000 centaurs and nomads.

Originally, the centaurs could support it, and in terms of weapons and equipment and other logistics materials, they completely relied on the help of the Hereford family. In terms of food, part of it depends on the large number of cattle and sheep brought in by the herdsmen, who have to fight for their khans and graze at the same time. The other part is to import food from the Hereford family.

In other words, the Centaur army was able to survive solely because of the support of the Hereford family.

Of course, the Hereford family was neither a philanthropist nor wealthy like the United States in the wake of World War II. All their "services" cost money. Also at the most critical moment in the war with the Dark Elves, a whole shipload of coal and iron ore was transported to Hereford. Wilhelm even tried to build a railway from Novgorod to Moscow. However, in the end, it was not successful due to the difficulty of construction and the cost required.

All in all, at the height of the Centaur Khan's strategy, the entire region of Ruthenia was also robbed in the most complete way...... William obtained all the prospecting rights in the Ruthenia region and obtained a large amount of high-quality iron ore, anthracite, and other non-ferrous metals.

Originally, according to the agreement, at least 50 percent of these minerals were owned by Sarida Khan. But in order to raise funds and have a good time fighting the dark elves, Sarida Khan can't care so much. He kept taking out his shares and mortgaging them. Then in exchange for supplies and funds for the army to go to war. These supplies, munitions, and funds are then consumed in the war against the Dark Elves.

For now, at least, he still has no chance of winning - although almost every battle, large or small, has ended in the victory of Sarida Khan. But he just couldn't meet the two conditions to win.

The first is to break through the Perekop Isthmus and break through into the Crimean Peninsula...... The second is to completely defeat any fortress or city that the Dark Elves are stationed in various places.

So, the battle has been fought until now, and Sarida Khan has not received a dime...... Eventually, he had to admit that he would probably never be able to reclaim Tronica again.

He really figured this out during a raid half a year ago. In that war, Sarida Khan's surprise soldiers easily went around the rear of the opposing side. Cut off the retreat of an Ottoman legion, and at the same time once again see the long-lost Black Sea.

But before the centaurs and nomadic cavalry could be pleased, the Dark Elves launched the most brutal counterattack - a fleet of warships and transports, moving quickly along the Black Sea coast, faster than Tartagria's cavalry, and in turn detoured back to their flanks. Unbeknownst to them, the Odd Soldier began to engage this enemy army. The Ottoman army, which had been selected in advance to fight on the beach and was supported by reinforcements and naval guns, collapsed.

The battle resulted in the loss of thousands of centaurs and nomadic warriors. More importantly, it seriously shook the enthusiasm of the nomadic army. At the same time, it also made Sarida Khan realize a little ...... That is, in the Crimean region, at least on the Black Sea coast, he was absolutely unable to defeat the Ottoman Empire, which had naval superiority......

And the nomads under his command, the more savage fellows from the Cuman-Kipchak steppes, saw that something was wrong during this time.

Although the khan did not say it explicitly, they all felt that his power and power had diminished—perhaps the simplicity and kindness of the ordinary nomadic barbarian...... But most of them, the leaders, Xiao Khan, and Nayan guys, are very smart.

Two years of fruitless war have already made them complain. And after perceiving the decline in the strength of the other party, the last concern - that is, the fear of Salida Khan's revenge - also disappeared.

The nomadic barbarians of the steppes are very practical. And the reality is that whoever has the big fist is the boss.

Today, Sarida Khan is no longer qualified to continue as a nomadic herder of the steppes. Then these nomadic barbarians also chose to stay away from him as a matter of course.

A few months after the defeat half a year ago, more than half of the 100,000 troops that had gathered around Sarida Khan had gone...... If it weren't for later, Sarida Khan would have been ruthless, and a Hongmen feast swallowed several of the largest tribes and stabilized his basic plate. It won't be long before this guy becomes a bare-rod khan - even his own clan will leave him.

At this point, this war can no longer be fought.

Sarida Khan had no soldiers, no money and no food, and no hope of victory. It's as miserable as it gets.

Since the beginning of the Second Great Border War, he has been unlucky until now, and he is really about to reach the point of exhaustion.

On the other hand, the Dark Elves are much better...... Of course, it's not particularly good.

For the Ottoman Empire, the war for the Tronica region could only be described as a local war. They don't put in much, and they have a limited amount of energy. And, anyway, they ended up getting the Tronica region, and really got some people and resources.

What's more, they plundered the Kherson region, the Tartarya Khanate, of the royal wealth accumulated over hundreds of years in one fell swoop, and completely controlled the trade along the Black Sea coast.

For the Ottoman Empire, this was a great achievement. If you take it at this moment, it's a big win......

It's just a pity, first, the female Sudan Fatima has some great joy. Her plan to "attack the human world from both sides and break through the Carpathian Mountains" caused the dark elves to suffer many unnecessary losses. Second...... In the later stage, the war was stalemate, and the female Sudan was a little tired of it...... But she was tired of it, and Sarida Khan was not. All this old centaur wants is to restore the centaur hegemony and reclaim Tronica. The war is so stalemate that it can't be stopped......

Only now, exhausted on both sides, stopped and prepared for negotiations.
