The only reason the Mongols didn’t slaughter more Europeans is because the big Mongol warlord, Ogedei or Ogotai, croaked during the campaign to invade Austria and they all returned to Mongolia.

Maybe. A substantial percentage of the Mongols were Nestorian Christians. Mongke, most likely a Christian, later on planned another invasion of Europe ~ no doubt to save the heretics from themselves eh!
