That's pretty much it. www.biquge.info Recently, Sarida Khan sent an emissary to sue for peace with the female Sultan...... Despite his reluctance to admit it, Sarida Khan had to accept the Ottoman occupation of the Tronica region.

Since then, the situation between the two sides has tended to de-escalate. Despite the fact that skirmishes in the border areas continue unabated. But large-scale, more than a thousand people, as before, did not appear again.

Sarida Khan hid in Moscow, **** wounds, gathering strength and preparing to make a comeback. Of course, he himself knew that his chances were slim.

Ruthenia plus Pirm, plus the Cuman-Kipchak steppe that he could control...... Together, these areas cover millions of square kilometres. The area can even catch up with the Ostrogothic Empire. But the population is tragic.

Centaurs of the Juche ethnic group are barely counted, with less than 100,000 in number. In addition, the number of Slavians everywhere combined will not exceed 200,000. Listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda, there are probably more than 100,000 nomads who have recently become more and more alienated from Sarida Khan.

That adds up to no more than half a million people. Sprinkled on millions of square kilometers of land, not even a single slag can be seen...... Today, more than 70% of Ruthenia and Pyrm's vast territory is uninhabited wasteland, grasslands and forests. Even William felt pitiful for this guy.

Relying on such bits and pieces to contend with the Ottoman Empire, which had a population of tens of millions, the war had proved that Sarida Khan was a military genius...... But then, the Tartarya Khanate, there is no chance......

Today, the Cuman-Kipchak steppe is in a semi-independent state. The diplomatic emissaries of the Dark Elves crossed the Caucasus Mountains, brandishing canonization edicts in one hand and pockets full of gold coins in the other, and bribed the local nomad chieftains, which were said to have been successful...... Of course, at the same time, vehicles and caravans with the banner of the Hereford family were also heading for the Cuman-Kipchak steppe.

In line with the idea of the Dark Elves. William also hoped that the bastards would serve him - if the Centaur Khanate did collapse and William wasn't prepared to face the Dark Elves directly. Then it is the right thing to support some new small forces in their middle as a buffer.

That's it. What William can be sure of is that Tartaria and the Dark Elves will not be able to fight.

William was also certain that it was impossible for two sides with deep hatred to unite. I heard before that the two sides would unite and then attack Russia or something. Most of the time it's groundless...... Or the little conspiracy of that Sarida Khan...... Well, or maybe it's a little conspiracy on the side of the dark elves.

But it doesn't matter. William believes that in a short period of time, the two sides will not be able to recuperate and not be able to afford to fight. And William, who controls Tartaria economically, also does not believe that the Sarida Khan will make a desperate attempt to attack Russia with the last bit of vitality and troops.

"Although, the policy of the Ottoman Empire is not well understood...... Well. If I were that female Sudan, I might have taken advantage of the fact that His Majesty the Emperor was beaten up by the whole world and attacked Lombardy...... No, no, no, Lombardy or something is mainly about naval warfare. We can't help her much. Well, so say...... Maybe from the Balkans to the north, to attack the Carpathians?

It was mostly mountainous, and it was not suitable for large forces. There is also no railway there...... Therefore, if you want to fight, it is better to march along the coastline and then rely on the sea to march......"

Thinking of this, William was a little upset. He had just thought about it - at the moment, the Ottomans did not have an advantage in the eastern azure seas. If they march along the Adriatic coast, they will be beaten out of by the Lombard navy.

On the contrary, they have an overall advantage in the Black Sea. They can easily mobilize fleets and transport supplies...... In this way, they added a passage to the human world. That is, from the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, along the Black Sea coastline. Occupy Romania, the currently independent kingdom of humanity, and then head north to attack the Grand Duchy of Turov, which is under the control of the Hereford family......

"Maybe I'm not really safe when I think about it......" William thought to himself.

The Carpathian region is very difficult to attack - and this is mainly thanks to the blessings of the Carpathian mountains. This arc of mountains separated the entire Carpathian Kingdom from the Ottoman Empire, and combined with the power of Kalman IV, the Dark Elves had little to offer. Several wars with the Swabian family, either won or lost, and in the end failed to gain much profit and land, which is also the reason why Nu Sudan changed her strategy and wanted to find a new breakthrough from the big border area.

In this way, William decided to take care of the southern part of the kingdom a little later. Give some help to the Kingdom of Romania if you can...... These guys, who don't know what kind of race they should be, and are slightly related to the Slavites and Goths, are also part of the empire if they are seriously counted...... Right?

After receiving all this information, William put the matter of the south and Tartaria behind him for the time being.

As for the envoy sent by Sarida Khan, he decided to dry it for a few days. William didn't believe that bastard had the guts to betray himself anyway.

"Perhaps while Sarida Khan is still alive, this Tartariya Khanate will barely survive...... However, after the death of Sarida Khan, his successor may not be able to maintain even an empty khanate. At that time, the role of the Tartarya Khanate as a military buffer will disappear. By that time...... It's time to really fight the Dark Elves. ”

William thought so in his heart, and at the same time secretly vowed:

"In any case, we must get Ruthenia and Pilm, as well as the Cuman-Kipchak steppe. This huge land of millions of square kilometers is the basic guarantee for Russia's rise. For the sake of these lands, even if ten full-scale wars with the Ottoman Empire broke out, I would not hesitate to do so. ”

Of course, this matter will have to wait until Sarida Khan dies, and now the old centaur is a little out of his body. Years of hard work and huge failures in his career have made this guy look much older. But the foundation laid when I was young is still there. William estimates that this guy will live for another ten or twenty years, and it will be absolutely no problem.

During this time, the Hereford family was able to complete the occupation and absorption of Wende and Polotsk. With these two territories of industry, manufacturing and the joining of millions of the main people, the Goths. The Hereford family will truly rise to become an imperial power after the Swabian family.

Provided, of course, that the Swabians are not overly weakened in this war.

And so it was May. In the United Republic of Bolotsk, the election of William as their king was at its peak, and the situation within the empire was approaching the brink of war.

Loterania, as well as the Frisian Protestants, were severely rebuked by the Holy See. Pope Pius IV openly declared Protestants in Frisia and Lotyrnia heretics. And call on the devout believers of the world to rise up against these heresies.

But of course, no one listened to him...... In this day and age, the appeal of the Holy See is already pitiful...... It is worth mentioning that it seems that the Great Frontier War and the conquest of the Slavians made Pius IV feel that the Hereford family was relatively religious. So Pius IV wrote a personal letter to William's father, King Otto, hoping that King Otto would carry forward his spirit and eradicate these heretical weeds for the Church.

The result of Pius IV's letter was naturally hehe. King Otto was barely pious. But he had an heir who was by no means pious. William wouldn't be so stupid as to go to the soup because of the Pope's order.

In fact, according to the return of the Cheka members. In addition to King Otto's personal letters, Pius IV also sent separate letters to the important rulers of the human world today - not including Briton, of course, who had already broken the door.

It's just a pity that Asturias and Visigoth have just been beaten up by William, and they are still in a daze. The cousins had no interest in meddling in any riots or anything in the Empire. In fact, there were quite a few Protestants in their territory. After Frisia and Lotteria declared their independence, the Protestants were also ready to move. They are already too busy to take care of themselves.

And then there are the many counts and dukes of Lombardy, who are quite powerful...... It's just that these guys have long been softened by the warm Mediterranean climate and hundreds of years of affluent life.

Ask them to donate some money or something, and they can barely accept it. But if they really want to fight or something, they will be insensitive to it.

After that came the territory of the empire...... The Sarian family in Franconia had an ambiguous attitude. It seems that he was completely fooled by William, so after Prince Henry returned to China, he began to actively dispatch domestic troops. The Franconian armies were now calculating the time to enter the battlefield - their allies, of course, were the Protestants and the Britons. The Pope's call or something, His Royal Highness the Prince threw it into the toilet.

"So, in the end, I was willing to send troops...... I had to send troops again. Only our Majesty the Emperor, Kalman IV, remains. William thought to himself, and then smiled pleasantly.

More than a month has passed, and everything that should be known about the rebellion of the Uttar States of the empire is already known. So how did he deal with the main lord of the empire, Kalman IV?
