Chapter 327: Heart Attack (71/104)
On the day of the withdrawal of the two great families, Eugen led his men into the city of Vienna and met with Emperor Charles VI and Duke Gian.
At this time, they learned that the troops that had been fighting outside the city for the past two days were brought by Eugen.
Eugen was also the first time he met with the normal His Majesty Charles VI, when even if he shamelessly went up and slapped a lot of sycophants, he praised the emperor's almost deceptive plan.
Eugen is Maria's fiancΓ©, Charles VI naturally admires Eugen, not to mention that Eugen has just indirectly saved the city, the two are superimposed, Charles VI's love is overflowing, and even immediately asked Eugen to change his name to call him his father-in-law.
However, in the end, he was persuaded by the Duke of Ji'an, saying that it was not yet married, which was not suitable, and would have a bad impact on Princess Maria.
In this way, Charles VI gave up, but set a specific time for marrying Maria with Eugen, around Christmas this year.
When Duke Ji'an saw this scene, he also sighed secretly, he naturally knew that his granddaughter had feelings for Eugen, and his words were to fight for a chance for his granddaughter, but unfortunately now it seems that this opportunity is very slim.
On the night Eugen entered the city, Vienna held a grand celebration banquet, and Charles VI ordered the Chancellor of the Exchequer Marcus to take all the three million kild coins from the treasury to reward the soldiers and the heroes, and even the ordinary citizens of Vienna were rewarded.
This behavior immediately immersed the whole city in a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone praised the virtues of His Majesty the Emperor, and in a blink of an eye forgot the pain caused by the war.
Of all the people, General Ike was the only one who did not participate in the feast, and he stood on the city wall all night, watching out for the situation outside the city.
He did not dare to relax until the reinforcements of the brigade officially arrived in Vienna, and if the Prussian army took the opportunity to counterattack, the consequences would indeed be very serious.
Of course, Kylos did not have such an idea, and by the evening his army was already dozens of kilometers away from the city of Vienna.
At this point, it was impossible for him to return to Vienna and start the offensive again.
Strange to say, the night after leaving the battlefield in Vienna, Kylos's sleep returned to normal, and he never had that terrible dream again.
The next day, the headache that had been bothering him was mostly reduced, and it soon disappeared completely.
Kylos was also somewhat puzzled about this situation, but he didn't think much about it, and just attributed the reason to the pressure of the war.
The seventh day was spent in peace, and the Prussian and Saxon soldiers were already more than a hundred kilometers away from Vienna, each heading for his family domain.
However, what is surprising is that these two days passed, and no reinforcements arrived in Vienna, and it was not until noon on the eighth day that the reinforcements of the Wittelsbach family arrived in front of Vienna belatedly.
The arrival of reinforcements was two days later than Queilos had expected.
It turned out that the reinforcements were also on the way to the city, but also encountered the heavy rain that lasted for a day, and the torrential rain also caused small flash floods and mudslides, and the advance of the reinforcements was also delayed for a time.
When Charles VI understood this, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, it was obvious that with the few remaining defenders of Vienna, it would not be possible to reach the combined Saxony-Prussian army for two days, and if Kylos insisted on attacking, perhaps Vienna would have changed hands long ago.
In addition to being afraid, Charles VI couldn't help but shout lucky, and his gratitude to Eugen was even stronger, but correspondingly, the Wittelsbach family, which had been delayed for so long, was disgusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and Francis, who led the team, naturally did not get a good face.
Poor Francis originally thought of taking the opportunity to curry favor with Charles VI and create some opportunities between himself and Princess Maria, but he did not expect this to be the result, not to mention how depressed he was.
Charles VI thought that this time he would be able to win, but it was all luck, but the Duke of Gian did not think so.
One night, the Duke of Gian found Eugen in private, took out a small bottle containing some particles in his hand, looked at Eugen and said with a smile: "So, you defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Prussian family with this little thing?" β
Eugen knew that this matter could not be hidden from Duke Ji'an, so he returned with a smile: "Hahaha, where, the main thing is to rely on the faceless person you sent to me, Lord Duke, otherwise I have the heart and I can't do it." β
Duke Ji'an shook his head with a smile, patted Eugen on the shoulder and said, "Haha, you don't have to be modest, I have always had the Faceless One, but I never thought that I could use it like this, and you still have the most credit for this matter." β
As he spoke, Duke Ji'an handed the small bottle to Eugen, walked away from Eugen with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "But this kind of thing, let's use it sparingly in the future, be careful that the priest of the Holy See finds out, and jumps out and says that you know witchcraft and is a magician." β
Looking at Duke Ji'an's back, Eugen smiled and flipped the small bottle back into his pocket.
The small bottle contains a mysterious, but in fact it is just a hallucinogenic drug, which makes people have some bizarre hallucinations after inhaling, and if something uncomfortable is mixed in it, this hallucination will be transformed into a bad side.
After overdose, there will be some sequelae of headaches, but it is not harmful to the body.
Eugen had sent a Faceless One to infiltrate Kyiros's tent and secretly light the psychedelic drug at night while he was asleep, and place it next to Kyiros's bedside.
The psychedelic drug burns to produce some pale white smoke, but unfortunately Kylos didn't pay attention to this, so he unknowingly caught the way.
Putting away the small bottle, Eugen turned to leave, and at the same time secretly thought: "Haha, it is really unexpected that my heart-attacking technique will have such a great effect on destroying the spirit of Kyiros." β
"It's just ......" Eugen turned around and looked in the direction of Duke Ji'an's departure, and muttered: "Well, this faceless person is not his own person after all, and it is somewhat uncomfortable to use, it seems that the affairs of the Dragon Hidden Army need to be accelerated." β
Thinking so, Eugen did not go back to his room, but went to Corleone's place to live, ready to talk to him about it.
Beside Duke Ji'an, a faceless man quietly appeared and said in a deep voice, "My lord, do we want to continue to spy on Count Eugen?" β
Duke Ji'an's voice came: "No need, his doubts can be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it later." β
