And that's just the beginning, and you can imagine what a big piece of the pie it will be in the near future.

The Wittelsbach family is also very supportive of this, which is a matter of mutual benefit and can improve the overall strength of the family.

In addition, the spokesperson of the family in the Lebor region still has some covenants with Eugen, and the two sides maintain a balance with the Vetina family, and Eugen is also a very important force in it.

Francis didn't think of blocking the passage of trade routes, which would make him scold the Duke of Lorraine, and Princess Maria was still in Leber, and if he did too obviously, he would easily attract Princess Maria's disgust.

After all, it is he who has the initiative at the moment, and there are too many means he can take.

"Hmph, Eugen, you recruited me, I hope you don't regret it." With that, Francis walked briskly over to his desk and began to write a letter.

If Eugen had heard Francis's words, he would have felt very aggrieved and shouted that I provoked you, I don't even know you.

Of course, Eugen could not have known this, and now he was sitting in his office in the forward area of the Po River Line, listening angrily to the reports of his men.

"What! One unit actually left the defense line without permission, who was in charge of that unit! Call him for me! Eugen shouted angrily, the expression on his face as if he was about to kill.

Each of the units he placed on the line had a specific mission, and if someone left, it would mean that part of the line would be vacant, which was an extremely serious problem.

If the Black Death entered the line of defense from that gap, if it was not detected in time, it could cause extremely serious consequences, and even lead to the collapse of the entire line of defense.

Eugen knew the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, which is why he was so angry.

Cold sweat had already oozed from the head of the nobleman who reported to Eugen below, he was just a small baron, and he didn't dare to anger Eugen at all.

"Big ...... My lord, I am in charge of that army, and I am the ...... Let them leave the line of defense and go to the south. The question could not be delayed, so the baron had to bite the bullet and say cautiously.

"Huh?!" In an instant, the expression on Eugen's face became cold, and he stared at the baron and said in a cold voice, "Oh, is it? Then baron, tell me that you are not satisfied with my armament and want to disobey the military order! ”

Eugen's tone was peaceful, but to the baron, it sounded like the murmur of death.

With the example of Count Mead, these petty nobles did not dare to be presumptuous with Eugen at all, and now even if they killed him, they did not dare to say a word against Eugen.

"My lord, I, I really didn't mean it, they are from the Sartre family, there are two gentlemen and a young lady, and their status is very high, I can't stop it at all." The baron was about to cry, and he explained with grievances that both of these two sides were big brothers, and he was caught in them, and it was too difficult to be a man.

"They said they had to follow the family tradition of going into the mountains every winter to hunt grizzly bears, and they said they were going to leave the line of defense and go to the mountains in the south. I had no choice, so in order to ensure their safety, I had to line up a line of infantry to follow them to prevent any accidents. ”

In a hurry, the baron trembled a lot, and the expression on Eugen's face eased a little after hearing it.

Indeed, the fault of this matter is no longer on the baron, he has handled it very appropriately, and he can also come and report it to himself at the first time, which can be regarded as dutiful.

However, this does not mean that Eugen's anger has diminished, but the object of his anger has become the children of Count Sartre, and if you guess at random, you can know that the two sons and one daughter of Count Sartre must be outside the defense line.

Eugen had also heard a little about the Spartan-like education method of the Sartre family, and it was indeed one of the customs to go to the mountains to hunt wild beasts in winter, but in the current situation, they still had to go out with a tendon, which was very annoying.

Annoyed to annoyed, in any case, he had a very fragile pact with Count Sartre, and in this case, he could not do anything to cause trouble.

Finally, Eugen sighed lightly and asked, "Well, I don't blame you, so tell me, how many people did you send to protect them?" ”

"Two squads of light cavalry, twenty in all, my lord." The baron hurriedly said, of course he also knew the importance of the defensive line, so he did not dare to send a large group of soldiers at all.

Eugen secretly thought that twenty hussars would be enough if he was just dealing with grizzly bears, so he didn't worry about their safety.

"Okay, you go down first, you did a good job this time, if there is something similar in the future, you must come and report to me in time!"

Eugen waved his hand and motioned for the baron to leave, and the baron hurriedly and respectfully retired.

He couldn't deal with it, so he decided to ignore it for the time being, and seeing that it was almost noon, Eugen got up from his seat and prepared to go to lunch with Father Luther, while he took advantage of the empty lunch to discuss some things about the church.

A moment later, Eugen arrived at the place where Father Luther lived, a brightly lit study, and at Father Luther's strong request, Eugen had set up a bed in one of the study to serve as Father Luther's residence.

The four walls of the study were lined with bookshelves, filled with all kinds of books, and in the center of the room was a large table on which Father Luther was lying on his stomach when Eugen arrived, intently writing something.

Eugen walked in lightly, and did not disturb Father Luther, he walked to the table and looked down, only to see that what Father Luther had written was the content of the Book of Redemption, and that he had already written a considerable part of it.

"Alas, if only Father Luther hadn't met the robbers, he wouldn't have had to rewrite the Book of Redemption."

Eugen sighed softly, and then, as if suddenly he had thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was full of shock.

This is Father Luther spotting Eugen on the side, so he raised his head and smiled to greet Eugen.

Eugen didn't have time to respond, so he grabbed Father Luther's arm in a panic and hurriedly asked: "Father Luther, you said before that you met a group of robbers, and it was they who tore up the manuscript of the Book of Redemption, so do you remember how many robbers there were at the beginning?!" ”

Father Luther was a little confused by Eugen's question, he looked at Eugen with a puzzled face, thought for a moment and said: "Well, there are about two or three hundred people, they seem to be only a small part, what do you ask for?" ”
