At this moment, there are two other distribution centers for military supplies on the Norman Empire's leased port Kherson and the road connecting the city with the Norman Empire's land. Kiev and Lviv are busy, with mules, horses and carts gathering in batches, and the lively transportation scenes are different. In other parts of the Crimean Peninsula, areas that are still controlled by those Cossack free people are in a different way.

Or, it's always like this.

Men run horses outside to grazle, women are busy at home, packing things, cooking, sewing clothes. The little boys gather together to play wildly, and the elderly repair tools and weapons. Occasionally, merchants who run singles come over and will be warmly welcomed by the entire settlement - merchants are usually Normans.

Fighting, even fighting between the entire tribe, also happens from time to time. The purpose is usually to compete for water, pastures and livestock, or to resolve old grudges over the years - of course, the final result can only be to add a new grudge.

Just like most grassland peoples - except for many people working as mercenaries in Turkey, Constantine, Norman, and even farther away... or not necessarily hired by the government, hired by private nobles and wealthy merchants, and as private soldiers or bodyguards. As a cavalry mercenary race, Cossacks are also famous in the Black Sea. Although there are not too many grasslands and territory, the population is the same as cavalry sheep. However, relying on cavalry talent and courageous attitude, the price obtained as mercenaries can allow the Cossacks to live a relatively wealthy life. And their chiefs, heads or bosses called "Getman" can also live a better life.

The common boss of many Cossack tribes, Pugachev, who is carrying a Khan's name, who has never been taken seriously, has always been satisfied with such a life. He is in his forties and has not had much ambitions. And the only little bit has also disappeared with the failure to fight against the Normans and the strong rise of the Norman Empire in Eastern Europe - just kidding, fighting against such a terrifying empire. Even if all the Cossack men are filled in and then calling all the brothers who are mercenaries outside together, it is absolutely unpredictable. Serving this new master is a way to preserve wealth.

However, in recent times, this situation has changed a little bit... The lust of profit. Pugachev, who was unable to change his old habits, wanted to gain some more benefits for himself. In fact, he had tried this action several times before, and the emperor of the empire also generously rewarded him as a lackey. However, this time it was different. His Majesty the Emperor got angry for some unknown reason. Not only did he punch and kick him, but he also said something to find someone to replace him. This made Pugachev feel unable to sleep or eat, and after returning to his own tribe, the largest of the Cossacks, with 20,000 tents, he quickly wrote a large number of letters and tributes to the important officials of the empire, who he knew and did not know. He gave all generous gifts, hoping that they could speak for him.

However, these letters, tributes, gifts, etc. ended up in the end, and there was no news as if they were in the sea. This made Pugachev feel very frightened and confused.

"Maybe - maybe the emperor has made up his mind to get rid of me - indeed, I am neither his confidant, nor the one who surrendered after the defeat. I am not strong enough. But I occupy such an important place in the Crimean Peninsula. It is reasonable for the emperor to attack me... Oh my God, what should I do?!"

If it were someone else, Pugachev could not say anything, and he would rebel with his troops with his command. However, this time his opponent was the Normans, who fought against the invincible Normans in Eastern Europe. It took only more than a year to capture the entire Eastern Europe, Moscow, Zaporozer, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine... and other places, such a terrifying army, a genius emperor. Even if he gave Pugachev ten more courage, he would not dare to rebel casually. But what if he didn't rebel? Wait for the other party to send someone over and say directly: "Your title of Khan has been cancelled." Then he captured himself and locked himself in a black kiln for the rest of his life? It would be better to die.

In this way, unlike Egil's labor of state work in recent times, and from Saladin's recent plans for gains and losses. Pugachev was at a loss and was at a loss. He was unable to survive and died. The pain and depression made him almost lose weight. The originally strong Cossack man now looks like a tuberculosis, which scared the people around him. He asked him what was going on. Pugachev didn't dare to say it. He made a big fuss when he asked him anxiously. The messengers who had originally gone to meet the emperor with him had issued a strict ban. Pugachev made a harsh statement, and if the news spread, he would not investigate and kill all of them.

Pugachev was afraid that if such news came out, the people of the various tribes of Cossack were volatile and they would have taken the lead before the Normans took action, and they would cut off his head and send it to the Norman Emperor to make tribute...

However, this is not the same thing. Even if those subordinates kept their mouths tight, the half-lover was not just the Cossacks who saw this half that day - there were many pedestrians and merchants on both sides of the palace of Kherson. Which country did not have it? This matter will be spread sooner or later... or it has been spread now...

When he thought of this, Pugachev couldn't help but want to cry loudly. He was sadder than his parents who died. Then he slapped himself twice in the face.

"So confused, confused... I know that Emperor Norman is a stingy person, and he looks at the most money. But he still wants to get benefits from him. Damn, damn..."

And at this moment, outside his tent, a voice from a close subordinate shouted: "Khan! A guest is here!"

"Who?" Pugachev was not angry. He shouted angrily: "No one will be seen unless the Norman messenger comes - no! Norman messenger cannot see him!"

"It's better for you to meet him... That man dressed up unusually. Maybe there would be a way to solve the troublesome things of Khan." The confidant walked into the camp. Regardless of why Pugachev's face turned red, he said.
