At that moment, a horse climbed over the low hill and stood at the top of the mountain.

The man's black hair was scattered, his clothes and armor were tattered, he looked like a beggar, but his body was stained with blood, and the long sword pointed diagonally to the ground, and the blood flowed down the sword, converging at the tip of the sword and falling to the ground.

At this moment, a pillar of light shone on the low hill in the clouds, illuminating the man's face, which was Corleone.

In his hand, he carried a human head with rough and messy hair, blood dripping from the section of the neck, and the facial expression of the human head was hideous, even if he was dead, there was a trace of lingering ferocity.

Blackbeard, dead at Corleone's hands.

Corleone stood on horseback and stood in the background, a pillar of light through the dark clouds as his background, setting him off like an invincible god of war.

The robbers under the low mountain looked at this scene blankly, and even forgot that they were on the battlefield at the moment, and muttered with wide eyes full of bitterness: "Old ...... Boss ......"

Blackbeard died, and the last remaining bit of morale of the robbers was finally completely destroyed.

With a bang, a scimitar fell from mid-air to the ground, and its owner bent his legs, fell to his knees, and chose to surrender.

Some of the bandits on the edge of the battlefield began to flee, and Eugen immediately ordered the few remaining hussars of the escort to go after them, not wanting to let any of them go.

Blackbeard died in battle, and the robbers had lost their backbone, so there was no point in continuing to fight.

As the robbers laid down their arms, the Imperial soldiers stepped forward to control them all, and Eugen walked to Corleone's side on the low hill.

Corleone looked at Eugen and smiled, and before he could say a word, he fell off his horse with a limp.

Eugen hurriedly lifted him up, and ordered the soldiers to find a few marching blankets and spread them out for Corleone to lie on.

At the same time, he ordered a light cavalryman in good condition to be sent to San Marino as soon as possible, asking for someone to help them clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded.

A fierce battle, finally, ended with the victory of the escort team.

Even though Eugen had made sufficient preparations to weaken the enemy's strength to the greatest extent, it was still a bitter battle, and the escort team lost nearly two-thirds of its men, and only more than fifty survived.

Fortunately, Corleone killed Blackbeard and ended the battle early, and if the battle continued, the last person alive in the escort team might not exceed ten fingers.

Eugen arranged Corleone and the escort team, let out a sigh of relief, and lay on his back on the ground. At this moment, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and the wounds on his body were still aching, and if he wasn't on the battlefield, he even wanted to sleep directly.

"Eugen, Lord Eugen."

At this moment, a weak voice sounded in Eugen's left ear, and he looked for the sound, only to see the steward of Vester standing beside him.

"Steward West, you ...... Your hand ......" Eugen sat up violently, his voice was very sad, and he looked at the left hand of the steward of West, only to see that his left arm and elbow were empty, and a white cloth soaked red in blood was bandaged there.

A wry smile appeared on the pale face of the steward of West, and he sighed and said: "Alas, I was almost wiped by a robber with a knife, and I used my hand to block it in a hurry, and that's it." ”

The butler was so old that he still had to endure the pain of this broken arm, and looking at the beads of sweat on his face due to the pain, Eugen said with tears in his eyes: "Steward West, I, I'm sorry for you! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to go out of Vienna! ”

Eugen blames himself now, he never imagined that things would come to this point, he has been as cautious as possible along the way, but he still paid such a painful price.

"That's it, Lord Eugen doesn't have to blame himself, it is inevitable on the battlefield, besides, we have so many imperial warriors who stay here forever, and I am already very lucky." Steward West said as he looked at the corpses all around, with an unbearable look in his eyes.

These soldiers were from the Royal Guard, and the steward of West knew many of them, but now, most of them died here.

"It's all those damn Saxons!" Eugen's eyes flashed with hatred, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "They are barbaric and brutal, and even secretly collude with despicable bandits to enter the hinterland of the empire to attack and kill us. Last time it was Corleone, this time it's me, next time I don't know who it will be! ”

Eugen's eyes became more and more ferocious, and there was a chilling coldness in his voice: "I will not let them go, one day, I will make them pay the price they deserve!" ”

Steward Vester looked at Eugen deeply, indifferent, this Count Eugen has a certain formidable temperament, although it is only the beginning of the beginning, but Vest can feel that one day, he will definitely shake the entire empire, and even the entire European continent.

Moments later, reinforcements from the city of San Marino arrived, protecting Eugen and the others, while also detaching more than half of them to care for the wounded.

Before Corleone's old injury healed, a new injury appeared, but this guy's life was simply tougher than Xiao Qiang, and even in this case, he still maintained his endless vitality.

Eugen knew some modern knowledge of dealing with trauma, and after instructing the paramedics, he was relieved.

This time, Eugen was in San Marino City and stayed for another whole month.

The original escort period has long been exceeded, but no one is stupid enough to blame anything at this time, the escort team was sent by Prince Eugen, and to blame this mission is to blame Prince Eugen himself.

And now, Prince Eugen is furious at the news of the severed arm of the steward of West, and even proposes to launch a large-scale operation to purge the bandits in the Empire.

Within days, the vast war machine within the Habsburgs was set in motion, with thousands of troops sweeping through Austria and Italy, and a large number of famous unknown robbers either killed or captured and imprisoned.

The other vassal states also responded in this regard, and although the army did not come out of the nest, it became very active, and in just ten days, hundreds of bandit organizations were cleared from all over the country, with a total number of more than 10,000 people, and the scale was comparable to a national war.

After the bandits were purged, the situation in the country was much clearer, the lives of the people everywhere were much more stable, and there were many voices of praise in the streets.

This operation also made many princes in the country realize that although Prince Eugen is old, his power has not diminished, and his resourcefulness has become more outstanding, if he angers him, the consequences will be quite terrible.
