All the national goals are exactly the same, that is, the Habsburgs in Vienna, and in the whole empire, the Habsburgs are the dominant empire, and Vienna is the symbol of the empire.

Once Vienna was taken by them, the country was in danger of extinction, and by that time, the Habsburgs were in danger and all their interests would be divided among these terrible empires.

The other nobles in the Holy Roman Empire may still survive, but their status will also be greatly reduced, and only the five major families in the empire may still retain some power, and among all the families, the Habsburgs must have suffered the worst.

This is the fate that the emperor has to bear, to be on the throne, the higher the position, the more miserable it will be when he falls.

It was absolutely impossible for other empires to allow the Habsburg lineage to roam freely, and all members of the Habsburgs would inevitably be taken prisoner and placed under house arrest in a foreign land.

This is only one of the many consequences, and in addition, most of the interests of the Habsburgs will inevitably be ceded out, and there will be no chance that they will be spared.

At this time of embarrassment, Charles VI in the Vienna Imperial Palace was horrified to find that there was no more available army under his command.

The Southwestern Coalition was defeated by the French Empire, and when the French Coalition continued to attack, it encountered the army of the Wittelsbach family, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Others, such as Vetina, could not be counted on by the Hohenzollerns, and the enemy army was rushing towards Vienna day after day.

To the south, the army of the Medici Dukes of Gian, barely able to hold back the Quadruple forces that landed from Venice, was able to do so thanks to favorable terrain.

After all, the number of Duke Ji'an's troops was too small, and it was impossible to fight head-on with the Four-Nation Alliance.

In this war, the Duke of Ji'an has mobilized all the forces under his command, and the cobwebs have been collecting all kinds of information for the commander's decision-making, and the Faceless Ones have all been dispatched to begin to carry out some key tasks.

But in the midst of these operations, even such powerful special forces as the Faceless began to die in large numbers, and the level of losses was terrifying.

Even so, the Duke of Ji'an could only barely delay the troops of the Four-Nation Alliance and prevent them from going to Vienna, but there was no way to defeat the Four-Nation Alliance.

Even with the passage of time, Duke Ji'an's forces could be defeated at any time and completely defeated by the forces of the Four Nations.

As for the Habsburg army, which had suffered heavy losses after the previous war, and although it had recovered somewhat, it had only reached about 13,000 men, and it was impossible to hold the city with this number alone.

For a moment, the people in Vienna were panicked, everyone felt that the future was dark, and even the surrounding air seemed extremely dull.

Charles VI sat on the throne even more disheartened, he sadly found that he no longer had the ability to turn the tide, he had calculated and calculated, defeated the House of Vetina, severely damaged the House of Hohenzollern, and created a good condition for his child Princess Maria to ascend the throne.

But he did not expect that it was these calculations that caused the current Holy Roman Empire to be extremely weak and unable to cope with the attacks of other countries.

If it hadn't been for the Black Death, the situation wouldn't have been as bad as it was, and without the Black Death, it wouldn't have caused famine, and the empire would have been able to survive this period of weakness.

Charles VI calculated it, but he still didn't calculate the providence, and there was no way to predict the unexpected situation of the Black Death in advance, and it was difficult to avoid it.

In this way, all kinds of conditions were superimposed, and the Habsburgs were completely in danger, and they were completely surrounded on all sides, and their eyes were full of despair and gloom.

In this bad time, Charles VI had no choice but to think of the means of harmony again, as long as Princess Maria was married to the French Empire, he could exchange peace with the French Empire, and it was even possible to be protected.

In this way, the crisis of the Habsburgs could be resolved.

It's just that for Charles VI, as a last resort, he is absolutely unwilling to take such a approach, using the means of kissing, hiding behind women, which is an insult to all the men of the empire.

Besides, Charles VI has been busy for so long, isn't it just for the happiness of Princess Maria, if in the end he is reduced to selling the happiness of Princess Maria's life in exchange for peace, then such peace, Charles VI is not willing to experience it at all.

For him, it was not a peace, but a lifetime of pain.

At this time, Prince Eugen, the military god of the Holy Roman Empire and the pillar of the empire, did not survive the torture of illness and finally closed his eyes forever.

For the Holy Roman Empire, this is really a worse thing, the collapse of the pillars of the empire, so that those terrible enemies are completely ignored, Prince Eugen, this man who has defended the empire all his life and has countless glories, finally closed his eyes completely at this desperate moment, and then brought deeper despair to everyone.

Everyone felt that the Holy Roman Empire was over, there was no hope, and Charles VI was also discouraged, and even wanted her daughter Princess Maria to escape first.

In this case, Princess Maria did not run away, but looked at Charles VI with confidence, and said slowly: "Don't worry, father, we still have your son-in-law Eugen, with him, the Holy Roman Empire will definitely survive forever." ”

Even in the worst of the situation, Princess Maria still had hope for Eugen, which could even be called a little blind.

When Charles VI heard this, he also sighed helplessly, and said: "Alas, daughter, I don't think you can count on the Marquis of Eugen, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how good his command is, he only has an army of about 10,000 people. What can you do with only this little force? ”

Hearing Charles VI's words, Princess Maria shook her head, just smiled slightly, and did not speak.

Even so, she is willing to believe in Eugen, she is willing to believe, because Eugen is the kind of man who can work miracles.

"Eugen, isn't there still 50,000 female soldiers?"

Originally, Charles VI almost forgot this, and when he heard Princess Maria mention it, he also said angrily: "That's also the 50,000 female soldiers we just received, you know, our enemies have a full 500,000, and they are surrounding us from all sides, 500,000 enemies, what do we do to stop them." ”
