The generals of Pera were very interested in the information provided by the Count of Rhine, and they had always believed that the alliance between the Holy Romans and the Nicaeans would not last long, after all, the two countries belonged to different religious factions, and there were constant conflicts between them for many years, and even if they were reluctant to form an alliance, it was only a matter of interests, and sooner or later they would fall out again. However, the internal strife between the two countries that they had been waiting for did not take place for a long time, and not long ago, the news came that King Justinian of Nicaea was preparing to convert to the Bright Heaven Church, although this news was not resolved later, but it still made the people of Pera feel very disappointed.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the news that Attila, the great prince of the Golden Horde, had different ambitions, was really unexpected!

The Golden Horde was an ancient nomadic barbarian people from the East who had settled here since migrating to the western edge of the endless steppe hundreds of years ago. In that year, under the leadership of his Grand Khan Batu Shan Yu, they conquered the four directions, and once shook the entire western steppe and the Danube Valley. However, the good times did not last long, since the death of Maudun, the Golden Horde continued to fight, the power gradually declined, and finally became a vassal state of Holy Rome, specializing in providing it with leather, horses and other war materials, and sending troops to assist in the war. It is its cavalry unit and fast ship unit, which is very strong in combat and is loved by successive emperors of the HRE.

In the last decade or so, the Golden Horde has risen in strength under the rule of the elder Maudun, but Maudun is too old to risk breaking away from Holy Rome. As a result, the khanate, although it became more and more powerful, always maintained the status of a vassal state. However, Maudon is old after all, and he will die sooner or later. Since last year, domestic affairs have been gradually handed over to the eldest prince Attila. Attila was young and ambitious, and it was certain that he would not be willing to be subservient, but he did not expect the old khan to still reign. He dared to change his ways. It seems that if you can make good use of this latest form, not only can you make the breakthrough smoother, but it is not impossible to counterattack the enemy with Hot Spring Pass as a base next!

Thinking of this, Elrens asked suspiciously: "Since you have discovered that Attila has different intentions, why do you still let him continue to serve as the commander of the Southwest Theater of Operations? Is your Emperor Frederick a fool!"

After saying that, the evil dragon glared at Count Rhine viciously. Intimidated: "Or, in fact, what kind of tricks are you playing to trick us into fooling?!"

Ludwig VI shuddered. Thinking of what had happened to him just now, he hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "My lord, how dare I lie to you? This is absolutely true! In fact, we did not expect Attila to be so bold at first, and then the battle situation was urgent. His Majesty had already sent Prince Eugen to lead a large army to reinforce and take over the command of the army...... I don't know much about what happened next. But I reckon that if Attila is still unwilling to cooperate, it will be difficult for the new reinforcements alone to change the outcome of the battle. ”

Elrens and Eumenes glanced at each other, the words of the Count of the Rhine did have some truth, and then they should plan carefully how to use the contradiction between Attila and Shinra in order to get the most out of it! Of course, the captive's words should not be completely trusted, and they must act cautiously to avoid falling prey to the enemy's tricks......

Ludwig VI then revealed to Elrens some of the enemy's disposition. However, although this Count of Rhine has a noble status, he himself did not participate in the formulation of the strategy and tactics of the HRE army. Therefore, we don't know much about some details, and the information they provide is basically difficult to have an impact on the battle situation.

When he couldn't think of any more information, Ellens waved his hand and asked him to be taken down, of course, this time he was treated much better than before, at least the cell was clean and comfortable, and he no longer had to face abuse.

Later that day, Attila, the Grand Prince of the Golden Horde, was leisurely drinking and chatting with the tribal chiefs in his military camp. In the distance, there was the sound of artillery fire and shouts of killing, but the eldest prince did not care.

It was the army of Pera and the army of Emperor Frederick's self-righteous brother Eugen who fought fiercely day and night, and the two warring sides fought repeatedly around a narrow passage in the encirclement, and it is said that in less than two days, the casualties of both sides here had exceeded 100,000! Attila just smiled and shook his head as if he were watching a play, he had no interest in either side, and would never send troops to intervene, and it was better to fight for both sides, so that he could take advantage of the fisherman.

Some time ago, because of the old khan's face, Attila had to pretend to deal with the incursion of Pera's army. Unexpectedly, Frederick was dissatisfied with his passive warfare, and actually sent a stinky guy with undried breasts to lead troops to take over his command! That guy named Eugen was a boy at first glance, full of aristocrats, looking down on the so-called 'barbarian' commanders of the Golden Horde, and he was also sneering at his own combat methods, and his attitude was extremely arrogant!

Attila was furious and simply ignored the prince, and ordered the whole army to shrink back to the camp, and never send a single soldier to fight again. During this period of time, he has already secretly reached a tacit understanding with the Pera army, and the river water between them will not interfere with the well water, as long as the Pera army does not kill him, he will not fight over, and everyone will cooperate happily without incident. As for the life or death of the HRE army under Eugen, he didn't bother to care!

Because of this, at this moment when the armies of the two sides fought fiercely, the people of the Golden Horde had nothing to do, and they gathered together all day long to drink and have fun, and their lives were very happy!

After three rounds of drinking, the elders talked about the recent battle situation, and one of them was a little drunk, and asked Attila: "Your Highness, our army is stationed here, and although we don't need to fight, we consume a lot every day. Now that we've made up our minds not to go to war, why don't we just withdraw our troops and return home?"

Attila smiled and replied, "Although we will not go to war, the time has not yet come, and my father is not willing to abolish the subordinate relationship between us and the HRE now, and he cannot offend the HRE too much. If we retire and return to China now, Frederick's old fellow will definitely not be able to agree, and I am afraid that it will be very troublesome at that time!"
