85_85536 "So, what are we going to do?" asked Selileigh.

After understanding that the Khanate had no way, did not need, did not need, and could not conquer the entire human world, he desperately wanted a more correct, but also more practical, and credible set of national strategies to supplement his three views that were close to fragmentation. And the only one who can meet this need is Sarida Khan alone.

"It's about staying on edge. Sarida Khan said: "Maintain relative and absolute superiority over other countries.

We must choose our opponents carefully and wage war cautiously. Never provoke disputes for the sake of face or unrealistic ambitions. We have to be rational, step by step, slowly expanding our land. Externally, to create an impression that Tartaria Khan is strong. to deter enemies at home and abroad.

Our goal is not to defeat or completely annex the human world. Our goal is to pass guò again and again, to take the initiative in my war, to gradually weaken the other side. We can also use diplomacy and espionage to incite civil strife in human countries. Create opportunities for ourselves. We have to be cautious about expansion. Each expansion had to increase the power of the khanate.

The concept of this enhancement is broad. It is either a property, or a strategic value, or a manpower, or a strategic material. We must not wage war and seize land that is dispensable to us, or even harmful, because of the mere desire for territorial growth.

I have never had the luxury of being a conqueror, or a so-called 'Emperor' who has gone down in history by annexing countless territories, but who has destroyed the foundations of Tartaria. I don't expect to do in my lifetime what it will take me a hundred or even hundreds of years to do.

I only hope that, with this dynamic, dynamic, cautious and steady aggressive policy, the Tartarya Khanate will be able to maintain its advantages for a long time. Under my rule, the Khanate will be a positive, accomplished, and powerful power.

This is my enlightenment, my son. Do you understand?"

"I see. "Sailile is a five-body thrower to Sarida Khan's admiration.

"Very good...... Very good. After confirming that his son really understood his words, Sarida Khan nodded in satisfaction. Conversations like this took place with several of his other sons. In this way, Sarida Khan hoped to select an heir to his satisfaction, who would be able to continue his policies.

It's just that the situation is not as good as it could be.

Most of his children did not understand his mind. Some people are ignorant, and some people agree on the surface, but they don't think so in their hearts. Still others are simply and unequivocally opposed.

So, Sarida Khan was very afraid of his own death. It was not death itself that he feared. But after his death, the Tartariya Khan was locked in an all-out war with the human world because it had no suitable heir. Eventually destroyed as mentioned above.

This is what he fears from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, at least, at least, Celile, the dishonorable son of a human concubine, still has some understanding.

"Then the next thing to do is to do my best to train him to be an heir to my satisfaction. Sarida Khan thought to himself.

That's it. After another war with the Ottoman Empire in the south, the centaurs of Tartaria, who had been recuperating for a year, healed their wounds. Reinvigorated, he set his sights on the human world in the northwest of the khanate.

......

Winter.

Willian hasn't been in the good spirits in recent times. Whether it's eating or spending time with Charlotine, it looks absent-minded. Charlumi complained a few times about this. But you can't really say anything about him.

Because Charlumi also knows, and then next, for the Hereford family, for the Grand Duchy of Mazovia. It is even said that a very important event is about to happen for the entire human world.

With various channels such as merchants, intelligence officers, travelers, etc., more and more information proves that the Tartarya Khanate is actively mobilizing troops and collecting supplies. And looking at the direction of their army deployment, it can be easily concluded that the centaurs of Tartaria are going to set foot in the human world again. A new round of centaur nomadic conquests is about to begin.

In this epic war that is about to begin, the three countries of Mazovia, Ruthenia and Pyrm bear the brunt. As part of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, the Hereford family bore the brunt of the attack.

In this case, it is no wonder that William has a mind. In fact, he's pretty good. Many Mazovian nobles, after hearing the news of the invasion of the Centaur Khanate, were scared to cry and pee their pants. Quite a few who had a way to run away quickly. Those who have no way out are also in fear. It can be said that it is full of ugliness.

The vast majority of people have no confidence in the war that is about to begin.

Even William.

William was not so arrogant that he thought that with his 5,000 new troops alone, he could hold off tens of thousands, or even 100,000 nomadic horsemen.

What he hopes most now is that the human world will take this matter seriously. It would be best to form a broad alliance of centaurs against Tartaria, as before. and even the formation of a crusader force in the name of religion, race and plunder.

It's just a pity that this expectation is very difficult.

In the name of his father, the freshly baked Duke of Mystia, Otto. William sent letters to the Ostrogothic kingdoms, and even to Visigoth, Asturias, and Briton. But there were very few replies.

Other kingdoms are far away, so forget it. The kings of the Ostrogothic Empire, the only one associated with Tartaria and bordering a huge area, are currently in the midst of a war of succession, with various princes in a chaotic mess. For Mazovia's request for help, it can be said that there is a weak heart.

The letter to the Roman Pope in Lombardy received a more positive response. Pope Pius IV, in the case of the Archbishop of Krakow, the Archduke of Mazovia and the Duke of Mystia, sent emissaries one after another, sent letters. He also tried to call on the nations of the human world to fight against the infidels.

It's just a pity. After many religious wars, the expansion of imperial power, and the Industrial Revolution, the power of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, and his influence on the human kingdom, have declined to a very low level.

The kings were unusually perfunctory in response to Pius IV's call. No clear information was given.

In this case, the only people interested in sending soldiers to Mazovia were the other three Grand Duchyes, which were also part of the Wende Kingdom.

They, like Mazovia, are on the front line against the centaurs. The Grand Duchy of Turov, south of Mazovia, shares a large area with Tartaria, like Mazovia. The parties soon reached an agreement, and Vyalcheslav, the contemporary patriarch of the Vladimirovich family of Turov and also Grand Duke of Turov, soon formed an alliance with Trieste in Mazovia.

Of course, when both sides are under-armed and unable to defend themselves, this alliance is basically of little use.

What they can really rely on is still located in Shilonsk, which is located further west, and Livonia in the northwest, which are the two grand principalities that can really send troops, help, and even save Mazovia.

Moreover, unlike the more dilapidated, sparsely populated Mazovia and Turov. Livonia, with its extensive Polotsk coastline, is very good at maritime trade. And Shilonsk, with its large population and fertile soil, has a well-developed textile industry. At one point, its textile industry even accounted for half of the Ostrogothic Empire's market share.

The foundation of these two countries is very good. Naturally, the strength of the troops is not bad. Especially the Principality of Shilonsk. If fully mobilized, at least 20,000 troops can be pulled. If these two countries come to their aid, then let alone defeat Tartaria. At least the defense is fine.

Originally, William thought that at this time of cold lips and teeth, the two grand principalities should be unconditional and quickly send troops to help.

But William clearly overestimated their IQ, as well as the lower limit of discipline.

Henry, the Grand Duke of Leszek of Mazovia, with the same surname, also agreed to Leszek's request for help. In this era when the relationship between relatives and in-laws is quite reliable. Henry is righteous.

Henry had one requirement for this, though. That was to ask Grand Duke Leszek, as well as Grand Duke Vyal of Turov, to support him as the new King of Wende, and to become his vassal.

In addition, Dietrich von Groningen, who was in charge of Livonia, refused to send reinforcements to Mazovia and Turov after hearing of the request of the Grand Duke of Shilonsk.

This guy wants to be King of Wende too. And the throne of the king is only one. With Henry, there would be no Dietrich for him.

So, Archduke Dietrich did the same, sending letters to Leszek of Mazovia and Vial of Turov. He wanted them to support himself as King of Bunde. Otherwise, no reinforcements will be given......

In this messy situation, Turov's side went on a business trip again. There is information that Grand Duke Vyal of Turov wants to find the surrender of the Tartarya Khanate. I don't know if this news is true or not. But one thing can be confirmed. It was Vyal who said that neither Shilonsk nor Livonia could take advantage of the danger to force him to take sides. Reinforcements don't come, and even if he dies in battle, he doesn't accept threats
