Dark elves, dark elves, dark elves. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSpeaking of which, the Dark Elves are an interesting race, a race that makes people calm down and interested in studying it. Speaking of which, it's a race that is completely different from humans. However, there is no reproductive isolation between the parties. This has to be said to be a very pleasant thing. There are a few dark elves' harem popping or something, and it's a pleasant thing to think about.

Therefore, William had no doubt at all that if he had implemented laws and regulations in the barracks at this time, declaring that as long as he defeated the dark elves, he would be able to reward the meritorious Dark Elves' female Bichi, and then have sex with them—this would definitely have succeeded in raising the morale of the army. Well, that's right, it must be so.

So William did. Therefore, the morale of the army has indeed risen a lot. Therefore, the probability of success against the army of dark elves has increased a little bit as a result. So, the Zoroastrians finally understood one thing, and that was that they seemed, maybe, probably, probably by William.

When Darius III summoned up the courage to go to William, he tentatively asked: Haven't you already defeated the dark elves, and why did they suddenly come back?

So, William looked at him with a very strange gaze, and then asked the words that made Darius III almost suffer a heart attack: "When did I say that I had completely defeated the dark elves?"

Darius III: "......"

Well, William really didn't say anything like that. But all the gestures he put on before that proved it, right?

Thinking of this, Darius III almost didn't faint. Fooled, got on the thief ship. William's military strength, strength, and odds of victory were not as high as those of the Dark Elves' Fatimid Lady Sudan, but he was impatient to press the treasure on him. Now it's good. If the army of the Dark Elves is victorious, then it's all over. William may be able to fight his way through his skill, combined with his elite cavalry troops. Go back to your country and make a comeback or something.

But what about him, what kind of fate Zoroaster will suffer, even with his toes, can be imagined. In any case, the dark elves of the Ottoman Empire will not forgive him as a traitor.

It's over, it's over, it's really over, this time it's really over. Why did such a bad thing happen, it is simply ridiculous, does it mean that no matter what, the national glory of the Zoroastrian Empire will end in my hands?

At the thought of this, Darius III was filled with despair.

"Don't be so pessimistic, hahaha. William smiled, patted Darius III on the shoulder like a best friend, and said, "If you lose, no, I should say, if we lose, of course things will go that way, but if we win, then things will be completely different." The land of the dark elves, the Russian-Gothic Empire, of course, will not be swallowed alone.

In fact, we can't swallow that much territory. As we agreed, Armenia and the Caucasus, as well as Mesopotamia, and the desert peninsula, all these territories are yours. The empire only needed Anatolia, the land of Canaan, Syria, Nirosia, and the Peloponnese.

Come to think of it, it's all good for us. At the same time, what history says about you when it records you, that is, the greatest Shah. The only great conqueror to successfully defeat the Dark Elves and reclaim those haunting territories, the Lord of Rejuvenation!

Think about it, what kind of situation it is!"

As William described, Darius III felt a sense of leisurely fascination. If things really go the way William says they are, then everything he does is worth it. He would become the most successful and famous monarch in the history of the Zoroastrian Empire. In this case, any shame, no condition is unacceptable. He even felt that even if William wanted him to kneel on the ground and learn what the dog was calling, he could do it.

Or, in other words, William's desire to the concubine of his favorite dark elves now is not non-negotiable.

Of course, this is just an analogy, and William doesn't want second-hand goods that have been by others. Because he has better options, like Fatima, or Fatima, or Fatima. Think about it, William actually snapped at the legendary dark elf girl Sudan. Thinking of this, Darius III was very envious and jealous. Of course, of course, this envy, jealousy, hatred, and other negative feelings towards William are also buried deep in his heart, and he will never dare to show it.

That's it, although in fact, each has a plan in his heart, and he has a ghost in his heart. But in reality, at least superficially, the Hereford House Expeditionary Force formed a strong, unbreakable steel-like alliance with the Zoroastrian Empire. Just thinking about this kind of thing can make you feel a little excited. Of course, this agitation is actually just an illusion, an illusion. William and Darius III both knew how shaky their alliance really was. Although it is said that the reputation of Chao Qin Duchu is really not good, but if there is a problem, if it arises, and what happens, Darius III will definitely return to the arms of the dark elves in the shortest possible time.

This is also known to both of them.

The current situation was such that reinforcements from the two steppe legions of the Hereford family were rushing in the direction of William at maximum speed. But they should not be able to catch up with the beginning part of this war.

After forming an alliance with the Zoroastrian Empire, William barely had a more stable rear. Through the co-optation and bribery of local nobles and officials. William began to really gain the most power in the region.

There are even quite a few guys who are nominally ministers of Darius III, but in fact they have secretly taken refuge in William, and William's interests are always the first consideration. Although these bastards are equally unreliable. But at least, they can be used a little bit.

At the same time, Wilhelm's father, Prince Otto, was leading a large army in an attempt to attack the mountains of the Caucasus, the Black Sea, which had complete naval domination compared to the enemy, and the Isthmus of Perekop, which was just as dangerous as the natural danger. Although the mountains of the Caucasus are not easy to fight. But at least, with the strength of Prince Otto and the strength of the Hereford family, it is a little more likely to break through here.

Once Prince Otto's army had conquered the Caucasus, he could annex all of Armenia in the shortest possible time, and then move south to Mesopotamia.

Whether it's to support William, or to attack Mesopotamia, Anatolia, or Syria, it's better to threaten the back of the dark elves. The tide of the battle will be turned in the most radical way.

William was as clear about this as Fatima.

This has led to very different tactical choices for both sides.

William hoped to use his light cavalry and archers' troops to ease the opponent's offensive posture. Then carry out the tactics of elastic defense, delay as much time as possible, and increase the enemy's losses as much as possible.

The essence of William's tactical virtue is that he doesn't need to completely and completely defeat the army of the dark elves, he just needs to delay enough time. At this point, William had great confidence in his father, Prince Otto.

Fatima is a completely different story. On the way to attack the Zoroastrian Empire, she had already received more than one call for help from the mountains of the Caucasus. The power of William's father, Prince Otto, and the strength of the main army of the Hereford family, cannot be overestimated.

Although she has already sent troops to support. But under the premise that the main army was hit and ready for a decisive battle with William, the only troops she could send to the Caucasus to aid were some second-rate troops. That is, a large group of second-rate army corps. The kind with an arquebus and a halberd.

Although she sent a large number of troops in the past, there were 70,000 troops in three legions. Add to that the army of the Caucasus, and you can make up 100,000 troops. But to what extent can these 100,000 miscellaneous cards be kept? It's still an unknown.

So her tactics became a little impatient. One can even say restlessness. Originally, in the state of her army, it was best to march about twenty kilometers a day. But under her orders, the speed of the army increased to twenty-five kilometers per day. This made the physical strength of the army slightly reduced. At the same time, the number of soldiers who have fallen behind has been increased.

In addition, the more combat-ready Turkic light cavalry units were also completely sent out by her. A total of three cavalry legions, more than 30,000 elite cavalry, rushed at the fastest speed in the direction of Tabriz, where William was located. In the process, they were rightly harassed by their fellow Uzbeks. And the losses are a little more serious.

But under the harsh orders of Fatima, these armies nevertheless had to advance as fast as they could.

She put her heavy artillery unit at the rear, and did not ask for these clumsy, and slightly outdated weapons to accompany the troops. At the same time, she ordered the governors of Mesopotamia to scavenge for supplies as fast as possible to supply her army of 200,000.

Although Mesopotamia was very wealthy. If the materials are drawn slowly and little by little, there is no problem in supplying 200,000 troops in a short time.

However, if there are so many things to be provided in a short period of time, as the Fatimid woman Sudan requested, then it is not very easy to do.

Plus these governors have selfish motives. Originally, it was like this kind of thing to obtain materials, which was always the most oily and watery, and it was like gold and silver seas. A little fishing is enough to eat for a lifetime.

Up and down, these governors have all kinds of ideas, and the people below naturally can't treat themselves badly. It's like this, layer by layer. The army of Fatima needed one dinar of copper coins, and when it came to the governors, it became two dinars, and when the common people paid it, it became ten dinars, which was considered conscientious. More than ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, it is not impossible. The whole of Mesopotamia was plunged into chaos.
