"None of this has anything to do with me, though. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" William reiterated this point again. Well, yes, it doesn't matter...... It was on the way back to Riga that he heard something very surprising. That was his former enemy, the first formidable adversary he had ever encountered, that is, Sarida Khan, who had died.

The death of this Khan, who was still young in terms of rulers and could be said to be in the prime of life, was full of doubts and mysteries. There are quite a few things that are not right alone. If there is a guy who studies history in the future and writes some literary works based on the death of this guy, then there is at least one reinforced platoon of writers who can be fed by this material.

Of course, that's not the most important thing

No matter how great or important a person is when he is alive, when he dies, he is dead, and after he dies, everything has no meaning. It's like Sarida Khan. Once upon a time, this powerful khan, who had hundreds of thousands of troops and controlled the fate of tens of millions of people on millions of square kilometers, was a presence that William needed to look up to, and the second great frontier war against him was full of despair, hysteria, mania, vicious warfare, and luck.

And even if he was temporarily defeated, defeated, or even spared. William still had a lot of energy to investigate his existence, and a large number of Cheka agents needed to keep an eye on this formidable enemy at all times. It wasn't until he was sure that this guy didn't go north again and competed with the Hereford family that William breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered the level of intelligence related to it.

What a hero, even if the other party is not a human, but a centaur. Even though the two sides were enemies, William's admiration for Sarida Khan was still very deep. He considered Sarida Khan a true hero. At the same time, he also believes that Sarida Khan is a general and ruler who can be ranked among the best in the world.

It's just that he is such a great being, but when he dies, he is silent. After his death, there were not hundreds of thousands of cavalry to see him off, tens of thousands of hard workers to be martyred, and tens of millions of subjects to mourn like those of the previous generations, who were probably not as good as half of his Tartarian khans.

After the death of Sarida Khan, the situation was very bleak. Before the corpse was cold, several of his sons jumped up and fought for his inheritance-among them, the sons of several Sarida Khans, who had already taken refuge in the dark elves of the south, were more powerful, and each controlled a group of tribes of tens of thousands of people, with thousands of cavalry, and they fought like a good fight...... It's just that compared to the heyday of the Tartariya Khanate, there is nothing to see.

It was precisely because of the death of Sarida Khan that the path of the dark elves to the north was completely cleared. Without Sarida Khan, there is no centaur who can barely sustain the mess of the Centaur Khanate, and no one can lead these remnants to resist the invasion of the dark elves from the south.

Thankfully, the centaurs who lean towards the Hereford family are not without ...... In addition to the steppe nomadic tribes and centaur tribes that were successively received, the Cheka agents of the Hereford family also supported a centaur nobleman, and collected a lot of centaur tribes in his name, as his people, and played the banner of the Tartarian Khanate, hoping to be able to plan great things, hoping to use this name to pass through the south, the huge Ruthenia, the southern Tronica, and the vast Cuman-Kipchak steppe.

It's just that with their own strength, it is difficult to compete with the rich and powerful dark elves in the south. Before that, the Hereford family had devoted all their energy to the war between the old and new sects. I don't have much energy to care about the affairs of the East. As a result, the situation of the centaur "Khan" and his tribe, who had no support, was very difficult. After being defeated in several battles with rival tribes, they all came close to death.

If it weren't for the Hereford family, some nomadic cavalry had been recruited somewhat, plus the financial support given. There are other centaur tribes, and they don't dare to offend the behemoth of the Hereford family too much, so now, this banner, this name, I'm afraid it has long been lost.

"It's dangerous. William thought to himself, "It's good that I came back early." If it's a little later, it's going to be difficult to clean it all up. ”

As soon as he thought of this, William felt lucky and happy.

If the richest and most elite region of the Slavic world is the Kingdom of Ruthenia. This region, located in the middle of the Slavic world, is top-notch in terms of soil fertility, natural resources, water resources and forest resources. More importantly, the strategic location of the region is equally important. To the south, it can threaten the region of Tronica, which has been completely controlled by the dark elves, to the north, it can communicate with Russia, to the east, the endless Cuman Kipchak steppe, and to the west, there is a large territory of the Wende Kingdom.

William felt it necessary to control the land, and to annex it, so that the Hereford family could grow in depth from north to south. The homeland is more secure.

On the other hand, if the territory were to be controlled by someone else, it would be a disaster for the Hereford family.

The Dark Elves, or any of the enemy's quick marches, can reach Novgorod in a matter of days. The original capital of the Hereford family, now the eastern capital, was so threatened that William could not accept it under any circumstances.

“...... Then again, that guy's name. I still remember. ”

After strengthening his resolve, William had a spare mood to think about something else - that is, the centaur Khan who was controlled by the Hereford family. The one they chose was the one who could inherit the position of the great Sarida Khan and the Tartarya Khanate.

That guy is also familiar with William. After he came to this world, the first enemy he encountered was that guy, and it was with the "help" of that guy that William successfully won Elise's heart and laid the foundation for the next strategy. At the same time, the policy of the next battle against the Tartarya Khanate was determined.

Yes, that guy is Sailei. The youngest son of Sarida Khan.

I don't know if it's because I'm older and I like the relationship between my young son, or because this guy is indeed the most suitable and the best. All in all, it is said that in the last period of Sarida Khan's life, his favorite child was this prince.

It is said that this is also the reason why the other sons are killed, and the dark elves are dissatisfied, because they are very influenced by Sarida Khan. This guy will almost certainly inherit Sarida Khan's strategy in its entirety.

That is, to continue to fight the Dark Elves, to find an opportunity to reclaim Tronica, and to balance with the Hereford family in the north. In this case, the Dark Elves, the other sons of Sarida Khan, and some fools who were dissatisfied with Sarida Khan's policies, feared the Dark Elves, and thought that humans were better bullied naturally united and launched a conspiracy against Sarida Khan.

"It's a pity that one of the heroes of Sarida Khan died at the hands of a group of villains in the end. Thinking of this, William couldn't help but sigh again.

He decided he wanted to see that guy again, and he decided to put that guy to work on - if he could, he would be one of the most important pieces in the next game of chess against the Dark Elves. If he really is as interesting as some people say, William will "cooperate" with him regardless of his previous suspicions.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him to maintain the identity of an independent state like Sarida Khan. But William would give him the best treatment in relative terms, he would have his own army, his own tribe, his own people, and his own territory—of course, the ones that were not important to the Hereford family, and were not needed. And William can also respect him on the surface, and even maintain a more equal covenant to give him enough decency. And slowly, little by little, like a blunt knife cutting meat, digest these things.

Of course, if that guy wasn't smart enough, or even thought he could get something from William, he didn't deserve it. Then I'm sorry. William will use a little trick - of course he will not kill him, but a puppet who is not very good at using his mind and cannot govern, and needs the "counselors" and "advisers" sent by the Hereford family to help him maintain his country, is his ultimate fate.

"So, what are you going to choose?" said William, who was on horseback, with a pleasant smile. The thought of his mortal enemy's son, who had to be subservient to himself, and whose fate and future were in his own hands, William had a pleasant feeling of wanting to sing.

Very happy, well, yes, very happy. Even if William has reached this status. But it's still a very happy thing to be able to encounter such a thing.

That's it. Since in the hinterland of the human world, within the territory of the Ostrogothic Empire, the Hereford family could no longer grab any inch of land, any interests and population, so they turned around, looked to the east, and asked for benefits from the scattered centaur tribe. Let's go and compete with the dark elves.
