Chapter 210: The Old Mayor Leaves

The musket problem was solved, the light in the whole hall seemed to be brightened, and the atmosphere was no longer so oppressive.

"It's great, this musket is so powerful, it's beyond my imagination." Maria also said with amazement.

Eugen looked at Maria, then at Margaret, and said, "Well, according to the current design and manufacturing model, mass production as soon as possible, to produce a large number of guns and ammunition in a short period of time." ”

Hearing Eugen's words, Maria turned her gaze to Eugen, and the two looked at each other to understand each other's thoughts.

"So, you've met them too, haven't you?" Maria asked, with a hint of indignation in her tone.

Eugen nodded: "When I came back, I was surrounded, there were a lot of people on the other side, and my attitude was very arrogant. ”

"Those robbers!" Maria clenched her pink fists and said angrily, with some tears of grievance in the corners of her eyes: "They have already captured many of us, and many caravans have been robbed by them, I have never seen such a shameless nobleman." ”

"The nobles of Saxony are barbarians." Margaret added, then walked up to Maria and patted her arm: "Don't be angry, Eugen has come back and will make them look good." ”

Maria hugged Margaret's waist and said angrily, "Well, you have to make them look good." ”

Eugen stood aside and looked at Maria with pear blossoms and rain, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, it seemed that Maria had been angry with those Tariq soldiers these days, otherwise she would be so aggrieved.

"You tell me the details, this time, I want them to pay a double price, and make them regret what they did for the rest of their lives." Eugen also walked over and patted Maria's little hand, and said coldly.

With the new rifle, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command will be increased by a geometric multiple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can block ten with one.

The maximum effective range of the Eugen musket is 600 meters, and the optimal range is within 300 meters, which is more than twice as far as the best flintlock musket at present, and the power is even more vast.

With this sharp weapon, Eugen will not be afraid of any enemy on the surface, and Viscount Tariq, even if he has an army of 10,000 people, and all of them are heavy cavalry, he cannot be the opponent of Eugen's musket troops.

After a few moments, Maria finally calmed down, and then gave a general overview of the current situation in Leber, focusing on the situation of Viscount Tariq.

Hearing that the other party had 8,000 troops, Eugen was also a little shocked, and said in a deep voice: "This Vetina family is really willing to pay for it, 8,000 soldiers can't get it in a short time, it seems that they have been planning for a long time, and they have been preparing in secret for a long time." ”

"It should be, but fortunately they haven't made a move against Lybor City yet, and although the blockade of the surrounding area has a great impact on us, it is not a desperate situation."

Maria said her judgment of the situation, then looked at the old mayor and said, "Mr. Mayor, how is the current material situation in the city of Leber?" You talk to Eugen. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The old mayor returned respectfully, and then took out a small notebook from his bosom tremblingly, and read it in a rambling manner.

Eugen was a little sorry for the old mayor who was already in his last years, thinking that on the first day he came to Lybour, the old mayor wanted to resign and leave.

However, because of the incidents that happened later, most of the year has passed, and the old mayor still has not succeeded in resigning and leaving, because Lebor City is in an eventful season, and it is inseparable from this old mayor who is familiar with the situation.

The old mayor has never put forward any opinions, and has been working diligently, as if he has forgotten about his resignation and leaving.

“...... In general, if the caravans from the outside world cannot enter, the food in our city will only last for a month, and there is still a lot of financial debt, and counting the two hundred soldiers brought back by Lord Eugen, the total strength is 1,200 men......"

The old mayor gave a general introduction to the general situation of Lebor City, and at the end, he coughed lightly and added: "Ahem, Lord Eugen, the young man you introduced last time, Parma, he is now following me to do things, and he is also roughly aware of the situation I just mentioned. ”

"Who?" Eugen was a little confused: "Parma? Who's that? I'm not impressed. ”

It's been too long, Eugen doesn't remember who this Parma is, and the old mayor is not surprised, and slowly explains: "It's the waiter in the restaurant, he you brought to the banquet when you first came, the young man is quite clever, and he has helped me a lot these days." ”

Hearing this, a young but sleek and sophisticated face vaguely appeared in his mind, and he remembered that when this Parma jumped in front of him and recommended himself, he also gave the young man a chance.

"Oh...... That's right, that's good, that young man is good, you can cultivate it. ”

Eugen's tone was a little hesitant, and he vaguely sensed why the old mayor suddenly wanted to mention this Parma.

Sure enough, the old mayor directly followed Eugen's words and said: "Yes, Lord Eugen, I did what you said, so I have arranged for him to be my successor, and I can let him take office before Christmas this year." ”

It turned out that the old mayor did not propose to retire with Eugen in order to quietly make arrangements, and now he suddenly wants Eugen to propose it, and it is reasonable for Eugen to have no reason to refuse.

"Old Mayor...... Do you really stop thinking about it? Eugen wanted to hold on to it a little longer, the city of Lebour was about to enter a period of take-off, and the old mayor had accompanied the city through the lowest period, and it was a pity to leave at this time.

"No, sir, I'm old." The old mayor's voice was calm, but there was a sense of determination in the calm, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to leave.

"That'...... All right. Eugen sighed, and finally relieved: "Since the old mayor, you have already said it, then I respect your opinion, and you can decide this matter yourself." ”

When the old mayor heard this, he bowed back and bowed deeply to Eugen, and then said: "Thank you, thank you, my lordship, I will let Parma come to you when I turn around, he is a reliable young man, and in many ways, I am not as good as him." ”

After saying this, the old mayor withdrew, and if he really wanted to leave, he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Hearing that the old mayor was leaving, Maria and Margaret were also quite sad, after all, the old mayor took care of them like a respectable division commander these days.
