85_85536 Yes, you can. Compared to the Church of the Lord of Radiance, which is black and white, the hardness and inflexibility of the self or the enemy. Alchemists are much more flexible in their strategies. In fact, the Alchemist "Organization" is more of a hodgepodge of alliances than the Church of the Radiant itself, as an independent, well-organized "state" with a strict hierarchy, and even a land, army, and government.

Polotsks, Bretons, and Goths. Some of them come from different countries, some of them have official backgrounds, some of them represent the interests of their families, and some of them are independents. Some alchemists were involved in Protestantism and other churches that reformed the Lord of Radiance.

It's like Father Peter. They have two identities at the same time. Some people even just take up alchemists as a hobby. In addition to this, the involvement of merchants, scholars, and the aristocracy and officials in various Protestant regions made the organization even more loose and unstable.

Each member of the bloc, each country, has its own interests. And the Alchemist Alliance is not yet their primary, first-level interest.

In fact, if it were not for the Glorious Lord's Church still exists, and as a common enemy of these forces, nations, forces and groups. And if these forces, countries, forces and groups have to huddle together to keep warm in order to compete with them, I am afraid that they will already fight with each other.

In fact, even under the pressure of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, there are still many contradictions within the alchemists. Fire on the surface does not happen often, and intrigue in the secret is even more commonplace.

In such a situation, the goals pursued by alchemists are also different. They don't seek to get everybody to join them. Seeking supporters, patrons, and allies is also a way for alchemists to expand their influence.

At the very least, it is not to denounce them and not to oppose them. That's enough. If they could be seen as transparent and invisible, then the alchemists would not interfere with their lives.

It's like William.

"So...... That's it for now. It doesn't have to be him. And so, after seeing William depart, Father Peter also stood up, and said this to himself, and left the camp.

In this way, William and his party returned in the direction of Chersk with a large amount of booty and nearly two thousand dejected prisoners.

Win big and go home with a bang. Generally speaking, that's what it means. An easy, near-overwhelming battle also raised William's morale a lot—and it wasn't until news came from the Barony of Chersk that William regained his composure.

Previously, the Slavites sent by Tartaria were not just Ivanovich's group. And after that, it was not only that one place where there was a riot. In fact, while William was planning to fight Ivanovic, his father, Baron Otto, was also involved in the battle against the Rogue army.

Of course, His Excellency and William did not have the same goals. And there was no delay until the beginning of spring.

After confirming the target, Baron Otto and his 150 private soldiers launched a charge towards nearly 10,000 Liukou. In the end, it was easily defeated. The Red Knight tried his sword and won easily.

That's it, in the correspondence exchanged with each other, William learned about the situation.

Then, William felt a little discouraged.

Although he repeatedly reminded himself that he and his father, Baron Otto, were not the same type of commander. At the same time, he did not have the terrifying combat power of the Great Mentor level to the sky. But in the end, William still felt a little unhappy.

However, it was also because of this news that William's heart was a little fluttering and stabilized, so that he could immediately devote himself to the next work in the best state.

That is, spring ploughing.

Although there was not enough iron, there was not enough time and energy to make enough farm tools. But William's new agrarian reform, with the support of Father Peter, was quickly promoted.

Because the clergy are inherently respected and at the same time convincing. Therefore, when promoting the new four-nursery rotation system, farmers did not hesitate or hesitate. At the same time, Father Peter and his priests were equally impressed by their ability to do things, organize themselves, and learn and understand.

They were able to understand what William was saying in a very short time, and then managed the estates in an orderly manner. At the same time, they are also working hard to promote new crop rotation techniques and work. It doesn't mean to be lazy and slippery.

This made William feel very satisfied. He thinks that each of them can give out an exemplary employee award.

After coming into contact with these clergy, William learned more about their ideas...... Well, these people are not a bunch of saints as some people think. A group of philanthropists or a group of good people.

In fact, this group of people also has their own*. Even their* are more eager than the average person.

They know how to write, they can write, and they have a certain knowledge of nature. At the same time, they are inextricably linked to alchemists. Or simply an alchemist's apprentice. And with these knowledge and abilities, they will naturally want to be able to get the status they deserve, as well as sufficient benefits.

As for status, as well as benefits. Far away, near, naturally is where they live, the nobles of the Count's territory of Chersk, that is, Charlumi, or William, who actually holds the power of this territory, can give.

This made William breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, it has increased a lot of confidence.

In the final analysis, these people are still seeking profits. And the benefits of this, William could give them, but Father Peter could not. In such a situation, William believes that these "smart people" will make the "right choice".

At the same time, the nearly 2,000 captives that William had just captured were also involved in the spring ploughing and agricultural reform plans.

Although because of a previous battle, hostilities were escalating, as well as for a number of other reasons. The motivation of these people to work is not too high. However, for the sake of two bowls of multigrain porridge a day, you will never be able to drink enough, but you will not starve to death. The vast majority of the POWs were quiet and did not move.

Of course, there are also some people who are born with a dislike of peace, or who are too timid and always think that William will kill them. Or some people who have committed great crimes and can no longer live a normal life, want to escape, or even attack the people in their custody.

For these people, William naturally adopted a high-pressure policy.

They were all hanged and hung on shelves like air-dried meat - because they couldn't run at all. Charlumi's private guards, the light cavalry, patrolled the perimeter of the prisoner camp in shifts. As soon as someone tried to escape, they would rush over as if they were celebrating a festival, and then shoot them with their bows and arrows.

This is the time when all things come back to life, and animals are in heat and mating. Normally, during this season, people don't go into the mountains to hunt. You may not know the term sustainability. But the meaning and reasoning are clear to everyone.

Therefore, this group of guards cavalry has been holding back for a long, long time. Wanted to hunt, but couldn't find it. So, they liked William's work of guarding, pursuing, and killing escaped captives. After all, people are also a type of animal.

That's it, that's it. As the weather warmed up day by day, the army of displaced people that had ravaged the winter finally collapsed.

Some of them fell to the cold and hunger, while others were slain by the nobles of all stripes. Most of them ended miserably. A small number of them fled and became bandits hiding in various ravines and forests again.

All in all, the situation in Mazovia has regained its calm. The situation has been restored like a miracle.

This surprised William - it had been as he had thought. This shouldn't have been the way this happened. Those rogues should be getting more and more intense. At the same time, reinforcements from Tartaria will continue to flow into the rebels. And after making a mess of Mazovia, he will personally take action and swallow this ripe fruit into his stomach.

However, things felt a little different from what William had thought.

The enemy, the centaurs of Tartaria, had been doing this and that for a long time, and then all of a sudden they had died down.

This made William feel very, very, very unhappy. It's just a trick -- the other side, the four-hooveed herd, is playing everybody. What a ......

Of course, William also knew that the centaurs weren't cameos. They must have abandoned their plans to invade Mazovia for some other reason.

"Why, then?" said William, to his father. But Baron Otto did not answer accurately either. Later, he also asked Father Peter, who knew his identity, but his ability was still unknown. Father Peter, on the other hand, seemed to know something. But the magic stick, who has always liked to pretend to be a ghost, did not give William a clear answer. Just vaguely told him that the centaurs were being dragged down. For the time being, there will be no intention of launching an attack on Mazovia.

This made William even more strange - who could make a nomadic empire as powerful as the Tartariya Khanate abandon its plans, and who could hold it back?

This question bothered William for two months. By the end of spring ploughing, all the estates in the entire county had completed the transformation of the four-garden rotation system. He had only received the news from merchants from afar.

The centaurs who entangled Tartaria were another powerful enemy of the human world, the Ottoman Empire, controlled by the dark elves
