That's it, after a preliminary mobilization, a second mobilization, and the transfer of troops from vassal tribes. At present www.biquge.info, William knows that the number of the Dark Elf Empire army opposite him has exceeded 100,000!

Coupled with the Ottoman armies on various battlefields, the total mobilized strength of this huge empire is likely to have exceeded 200,000.

This figure was a heavy burden even for a large, powerful and wealthy country like the Ottoman Empire. Especially when their front is stretched too long and needs to be fought on several sides, and it is a situation where they are fighting on the outside line.

William believed that after defeating all of these guys, the dark elves would have to admit defeat even if they were no longer reconciled.

That's it.

An army of 100,000 dark elves...... William sighed secretly.

Originally, William, who had five legions and two cavalry brigades, was not afraid of the so-called 100,000 troops - although the combat effectiveness of these armies may be a little stronger than the 100,000 army under the command of Emperor Kalman IV, but William believed that even if it was strong, it would definitely not be much stronger.

With such a large number of elites in his hands, it must not be too difficult to press the dark elf's face back and forth in the toilet.

The problem was that after he sent a corps to the aid of the Carpathians, he was left with only four corps and two brigades. That's 50,000 people in total.

There are twice as many enemies as you.

And according to the information sent back by the scouts and the Cheka agents, there is a Sudan honor guard in the dark elf army, that is, the female Sudan Fatima has personally conquered.

The army of dark elves who followed Su Dan was naturally the most powerful, the most bloodthirsty and destructive, and the most well-equipped elite troops. These included two Praetorian Guards, a force made up of pure dark elves. A total of 20,000 people. Including the three new Praetorian Guards, those that William called inhumane fighting machines. The total number is more than 35,000.

These armies were armed with flintlock muskets coupled with bayonets. At least in terms of weapons and equipment level, it is on par with the Hereford family.

In addition to this, a Dark Elf Praetorian Cavalry Brigade, as well as a New Army Praetorian Cavalry Brigade, plus a Levantine, a Turkic cavalry division, make up the enemy's formidable cavalry force. Its number is close to twenty thousand.

The artillery corps formed separately has 50 64-pounder cannons, nearly 100 32-pounder siege guns, and hundreds of artillery pieces of various types, including monsters.

At the end of such a gorgeous lineup, there were a total of three army corps. That is, the scum that was bombarded by artillery and collapsed at the touch of a button.

That being said, these three legions look as inconspicuous as garbage against the backdrop of those elite troops in front. But according to the Cheka's intelligence, these three legions are recognized among the Ottoman Empire's army, with the strongest combat effectiveness and the strongest morale, that is, the most capable elite troops. It belongs to the elite in the ordinary, and the excellent in the ordinary. Compared to combat effectiveness, it should be the same as the elite mercenary force composed of mercenary veterans in the human world.

"It's terrible, the enemy is no worse than us, whether it is in numbers, weapons or training. If we compare it according to this, then the probability of our army winning is not very large. ”

Despite saying this, William still smiled.

"But that's exactly what it is, and that's the only way to do it. Because that's the only way it's interesting. Hehehehehe......"

At the end, William couldn't help but let out a pleasant smile - the enemy is strong, this is good, the enemy is very strong, this is of course better. The enemy is unbelievably strong—ahahaha...... There is nothing better in this world. It's really exciting, soldiers, and we are opposite one of the most powerful, evil, and most threatening enemies in the world.

So, let's rush forward, let's attack them, and kill them all.

Isn't that a matter of course?

Thinking of this, William let out a series of irrepressible laughs-

That's it, that's the only way it's fun.

Meanwhile.

At the same time as the Hereford family army was about to arrive in Kiev, a fleet full of dark elf warriors, artillery, gunpowder, armor and gunpowder arrived in Kherson, the capital of Tronika in the southern Crimean peninsula.

Under the strict orders of the dock officials, a large number of coolies swarmed up and began to carry what was transported from these fleets like ants.

Armament, baggage, supplies...... All this constitutes a symbol of the prosperity of the entire Kherson port.

Of course, the vast majority of these coolies are local Slavites. Of course, there are also some nomads from the steppes who come to try their luck in the city. In addition to this, there was no shortage of surprising fellows among the coolies - even centaurs.

After the Dark Elves replaced the Centaurs and became the masters of Kherson, the Centaurs, who had been high above, instantly fell from the clouds into the mud. The dark elves woo them and watch out for them, but they don't miss an opportunity to humiliate them.

And the people who were ruled, coerced, and bullied by centaurs in the past naturally did not care about the so-called "favors" of these old masters. I was very happy to accept this.

In Kherson, the collective contempt and suppression of centaurs has become a very rare consensus of all nationalities and classes.

Even as the coolies were working very hard to carry the mess, the gangplanks were laid, and the dark elves and Guards warriors, wearing helmets and armor and carrying flintlock muskets with bayonets, rushed down from the transport ships.

Despite the turbulence of several days, the spirits and condition of these soldiers are still quite good.

The Fatimid woman Sudan seems to want to use this way to make the local people in Kherson understand a truth, that is, the strength of the dark elves, the strength of the Ottoman Empire, and their own strength.

Showing off force is always the easiest, most direct, and fastest way. In this way, let those local bastards in Kherson know what it means to be powerful, let them bow their heads and do a good job of walking through the dark elves.

That's it.

"Is this Kherson?"

With a commotion, the planks of the ship, much larger than before, were laid, and then, carried by sixteen people, slowly stepped from the largest and most luxurious battleship into the port of Kherson.

Looking at this noisy, prosperous scenery, the female Su Dan, who was lying on it softly and half-lying on it, with a lazy face and a variety of styles, showed a charming smile: "It's not bad." It's not as good as Istanbul, but it's pretty good. ”

Looking at this scene, the female Su Dan was in a pretty good mood.

That is, under her notice, the foundation of the empire was stable, and the empire was thriving. Not only in the Balkans, but also in the East, in the face of the Zoroastrian Empire, it was able to achieve complete suppression.

Of course, none of this compares to the great conquests that opened up in the north. Can't compare to it.

The conquest of the Tronica region was the greatest achievement of the female Sudan since her assuming office. This is true both in name and in actual effect. This strategic region cannot be overstated, this area with developed agriculture, developed industry, dense population and wealth, no matter how much it can be said.

"After all, those savage centaurs are the only land to boast of. By the side of the female Su Dan, Su Dan's favorite minister smiled and responded to Su Dan with funny words.

"yes, that's all there is to it. Tartariya Khanate...... Hum. ”

I recalled all the unhappiness when I fought with the centaurs before, and then thought back to the embarrassment of these centaurs now. The female Su Dan couldn't help but show a contemptuous expression. Even with such an expression, it still fascinates the favored ministers who have been with her for a long time. It's almost out of the ocean.

Sensing the gaze of the female Su Dan, the favored servants around him immediately lowered their heads, not daring to let themselves look at the noble Su Dan. It's just that he doesn't know that everything he thinks in his heart, the female Su Dan can see it clearly. Merely......

"Whatever, it's all the same anyway, a man or something. Thinking so in her heart, the female Su Dan showed a disdainful and sarcastic smile.

She is well aware of her beauty, she is quite confident in her beauty, and at the same time, she also knows how to use her beauty as a weapon. This is a magic weapon and weapon to balance the princes and ministers, generals and civil officials under him. The vast majority of men can't refuse this temptation, and they always want to behave better in front of beauties, and it's easier to be enthusiastic and agree to some originally difficult conditions and requirements.

"I just don't know what will happen to that guy. ”

Thinking of this, the female Su Dan couldn't help but think of William again.

She was very curious about this magical, if not great, ruler. It's as if any person, any ruler in William's previous history, would have been curious about Alexander the Great. What a powerful, terrifyingly powerful monarch was, and how powerful his talents and commanding abilities were. Why, why, and how could he have conquered such a vast territory and such a vast empire in such a short period of time?

How exactly did he do it?

Is he a man or a god?

"But one thing I'm sure of. Thinking of this, the female Su Dan once again showed a charming smile, which made the favored ministers, sergeants, and even palace maids around her fascinated.

"He's a man. ”

As soon as she thought of this, the female Su Dan couldn't help but laugh. She smiled so happily that she couldn't be happier.
