September. The pen is fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info autumn is high and refreshing. At the same time, it is also the season when the autumn grain is about to be harvested. Of course, it makes no sense for Ruthenia and Pyrm, whose production has been completely destroyed.

It was at this time that the army of centaurs arrived on the banks of the Vistula River.

There was no resistance, no hussar attacks, no collisions of the main forces. One horse and one smooth sailing. But it's also a matter of course. It would be crazy to put the chips against the centaur army in the plains east of the Vistula.

The Polotsk merchants in the north finally relented. While accepting William's purchase, consolidation, and even relief plan, a large number of river fleets were dispatched to blockade almost the entire Vistula River.

If there is such a fleet blockade during the summer season, the human world can rest easy.

However, alas, it's autumn.

During the dry season, there were at least two places where the Vistula was not well watered enough to be crossed on foot – and these two were the estuaries controlled by William's forts.

"Enough. The river flotilla blocked the vast majority of the water. The two places that can be trekked on foot are defended by forts. There are sufficient troops, sufficient manpower, and sufficient weapons and equipment, ammunition and food supplies. We can win. Yes, you can definitely win. If I were Sarida Khan, after a few tentative attacks, I would have stopped. Then he was reluctant, but reluctantly, he sent an envoy to negotiate peace with us. ”

It is located in the lower reaches of the Vistula, near the estuary fortress of the Duchy of Mystia. William said to Charlumi in a relaxed tone, "We're safe, yes. Very safe. Even if they take a step back, the other side really wants to cross the Vistula River and attack the human world, their best strategic goal is not here. Rather, to the south, an estuary fortress in the upper reaches of the Vistula.

There is close to Krakow. That is, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia. Reluctantly, however, it is true that Krakow is much more important than Cherkesburg.

Therefore, this time it will still be the father who will be in the limelight. Yes...... Is...... Thinking about it this way, my father is quite happy to have a son like me, isn't it?"

"Perhaps. Who knows. Shalumi replied, and then asked tentatively, "So...... Is it really okay for you to leave that princess at home like that?"

"This is the battlefield. William replied, "Not a place where children and women can come." ”

Hearing William say this, Xia Lumi's smile became more obvious: "What about me, what am I?"

William did not answer. The next moment, William drew his sword and unsheathed it. A silver light stabbed towards Charumi's neck. Almost at the same time, Charlumie's long sword was also unsheathed,-for-tat, and stabbed straight at the tip of William's sword. The two almost had a tacit understanding, and they withdrew at the same time at the next moment, and then the eyebrows-

Without allowing for a while, William and Charlumi stood still and attacked sixteen moves. The speed is almost the same, the angle is almost the same, and the position of the move is also the same.

If outsiders see this scene, then most of them will think that this is a joke made by both parties under tacit understanding, and it is the kind that has been rehearsed for a long time...... Of course not. Although it is important to learn the same kind of swordsmanship, it is important to choose the same tactics, but it is not the most important one.

What's more important is because their strength is basically the same, and they have the same heart.

"That's it. William put his sword back into its sheath: "I have nothing to worry about you. ”

"Really...... But ......" Hearing William say this, Charlumi was very happy at first, but then happiness turned into distress and confusion: "Why...... I train almost twice as long a day as you do. I remember that some time ago, I was able to crush you. Why is it a tie now?"

"Because of the heart. Because of the heart. William stood up, then opened his arms: "It is more important to exercise your heart than simply exercising your body." A strong warrior must not only be physically strong, but also have a strong mind. The combination of the two can bring out the full strength of a person. ”

"Hmm...... Can I understand that William, you are in a good mood now, and your strength has been boosted?"

"Nope. William shook his fingers: "It's not that I'm in a good mood now, but I've been in a good mood for a while recently." ”

"Because your plan succeeded?"

"Because my plan was successful. ”

"Well, that's why you didn't bring that woman here?" After that, Charlumi said something unkindly, "Because the plan has succeeded, which means that she is useless." After the end of this war, Mazovia was already in our pockets, and the Trieste family was no longer useful. ”

"Bad eyes. William nodded Charlumie's face: "Don't say such disappointing words. Think about yourself. If one day, Charlumi is useless to me, what will I do to you?"

"How could it be. Although William's words were harsh, Charlumi was completely unimpressed.

Although the words of the two people missed two beats, both of them could fully understand what the other meant.

What Charlumi said was that Elise was useless, so just throw it away. William said that in addition to "useful or useless", feelings are also a very important link. Even though the Trieste family is no longer of much use to him, he still likes Elise. Therefore, the marriage contract with the Trieste family will still be maintained.

Of course, such a response would make Charlumi feel uncomfortable. So William pushed himself and others, hoping that Charlumi would put himself in his shoes. What would happen to her if she was the one who was useless to William right now. Of course, this can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Xia Lumi. Tell her that even if she can't help herself in the future. William would still like her.

However, Charlumi was not fooled at all. Or rather, Shalumi thinks that nothing like that will happen.

This was true both emotionally and in William's great cause. Charlumi considered himself William's best assistant. At the same time, it is also an indispensable element in the rise of the Hereford family.

That's it.

Since Charlumi has such self-confidence, it is difficult for William to say anything more. The two of them talked for a while about the Vistula line, and it was not too early. Whether you're hungry or not, it's time to eat.

"Let's go to dinner together. So Charlumie said to William...... That is, William was about to nod his head in agreement, and the door of the conference room was slammed open. Squire John, who was also the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the New Army under William, rushed in almost as soon as he could. Look at William, and look at Shalumi. I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but I didn't breathe, but I couldn't say anything—

"What's wrong, little John?"

Although it was not very pleasant, little John was so rude not knocking on the door, interrupting his alone time with Charlotine. But William decided to forgive him anyway.

Little John was not an ignorant man. And just by looking at his appearance, there is indeed something very serious happening-

"Young master, hurry, hurry! outside, outside! Centaurs!"

Although he said a sentence without a beginning, the real key words were clear. William and Charlumie glanced at each other, then ran towards the outside of the conference room. One after the other ran out of the barracks, then ran up the stairs to the parapet of the fortress, pressed the battlements of the fortress, and looked at the east side of the Vistula by the light of the setting sun. Despite nothing, William felt it—a sense of slaughter and a great sense of oppression.

"What-" Charlumi swallowed the second half of her sentence. Immediately after that, the sound of horses' hooves came from the east bank of the Vistula. First of all, there are countless spear shafts, spear shafts and flying banners, Sulu ingot spears and nine white threads. After that, there were figures one by one, followed by the horses under the crotches of the cavalry. In a trance, these flags, weapons and cavalry occupied their entire field of vision—

William looked out over the east bank of the Vistula to see the centaur warriors, and in the dim light of the setting sun, countless Tarta armies were stretched to the ground, as if they were boundless—all the warriors, whether centaurs, Slavians or nomads, were unusually quiet. It is precisely because of this unusual silence that the atmosphere of the entire battlefield has become extremely depressing-

"Nine white silks. Thrida Khan chose this place as the main direction of attack...... William muttered to himself, and then remembered what he had sworn to say before—that Thrida Khan had done something that he had not expected—that he had not attacked the mouth of the upper Vistula River, near Krakow, where William's father, Duke Otto, had defended. And chose the fortress where William was stationed as a breakthrough in the map!!

"Yes – yes – that's the right choice – it's closer to Mystia. Now, it is our Hereford family who supports the Gothic defense! Only by attacking here can we better threaten the Hereford family! More importantly, there is no father here, and the defender here is me! Sarida Khan deserves to be Sarida Khan. Good, good, good......"

William muttered to himself, and then stared at the tallest and most conspicuous of the Tartarya Khanate's army.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he could be sure that Sarida Khan was there.

"Do you really think I'm a bully? Do you think I'm not your opponent? You want to take advantage of my youth to wipe out the future enemy? Good idea—but still naïve! Too naïve! Sarida Khan! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

William drew his sword and pointed in the direction of the Nine White Silks and shouted—
