"What!"

Eugen could no longer calm down at this point, and he did not bother to explain the situation to Father Luther, so he hurried out of the room and ran towards the stables in the castle.

Seeing two guards standing guard in front of him, Eugen immediately shouted: "Quick, go and inform Viscount Liszt, and ask him to bring me all the hussars and prepare to set off with me!" ”

Eugen had prepared a unit of light cavalry without a fixed task long before, which was intended to be called up in an emergency, and now it was an emergency.

When the two guards heard the order, they immediately rushed to deliver the order to Viscount Liszt, although they did not know what Eugen was going to do, but they could tell by Eugen's appearance that the matter must be extremely urgent.

Half an hour later, Eugen had put on his armor and sword, rode out of the stable, and rode his black gold.

Under the careful feeding of black gold during this time, the fur of the whole body is smooth and bright, like a satin in the sun, reflecting the bright white arc.

Eugen wears armor and holds a sword, and he is also majestic on a horse, quite a general.

At the exit to the south of the forward sector, Liszt and his five hundred hussars were already waiting, quietly waiting for Eugen's orders.

Eugen walked to the front of the group and didn't say a word, just waved his hand and motioned for the team to go.

A full five hundred elite light cavalry followed Eugen, like a sharp blade that unsheathed silently, through the city gate and slowly into the wilderness outside the city.

White snow and ice covered the earth, and the leaves of the oak trees beside the road had fallen, leaving only jagged branches, like spears piercing the sky.

After the party all walked out of the city, Eugen led his troops to run quickly, he had already known the general location of the Sartre family's hunt, and it was not a blind run now.

As soon as he got the news, Eugen actually forgot that there were robbers outside the city.

Under the influence of the disaster, a large number of murderers showed their run, and took the opportunity to gather together and became a gang of murderous robbers, who did many angry things.

Just the group that Father Luther met was more than 200 people, and even if the combat effectiveness was low, this number alone was impossible to be underestimated.

The noble sons of the Sartre family went out hunting, and only brought twenty soldiers, which was more than enough to rub against a grizzly bear, but if it was used against robbers, it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

If they are unfortunate enough to encounter bandits, their fate will inevitably be very tragic, but recently there is news that the bandits are moving to the Po River defense line, which means that their chances of encountering robbers will also be greatly increased.

Thinking of the possible consequences of this, Eugen was extremely anxious, if the Po River defense line, which he had managed to consolidate, was destroyed because of this kind of, then Eugen really had the heart to kill.

The more Eugen thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he found that he hadn't done anything since he crossed over, and was almost exclusively dealing with robbers.

Last time, a large number of robbers came to kill him, and this time it was because of the threat caused by the robbers, so it seems that these robbers in the empire are really a big problem.

The daughter of Count Sutter, named Caterina, unlike Eugen, had never dealt with robbers, and once felt that she would never be able to deal with those lowly and filthy bedbugs in her life.

But she found out that she was wrong, and she was very wrong.

At this moment, her carefully tied hair was scattered, covering the corners of her slightly swollen eyes, and strands of hair were stuck together with blood, which was very embarrassing.

There was a sharp pain in the beaten part of her face, and Caterina was educated as a knight since she was a child, and the family raised her as a man, requiring her to be firm, tenacious, and persistent.

But now, in the midst of pain and confusion, Caterina still couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

The surrounding scene went up and down, as if it were beating, and Katerina was being carried through the rugged mountain forest.

There were also several robbers in the back, also carrying two limp bodies on their shoulders, none other than Caterina's two elder brothers, the eldest and second sons of Count Sutter.

As for the soldiers who guarded them, they had all been killed, and not long after leaving the Po River defense line, they were confronted by a gang of robbers.

A group, to be exact.

Nearly three hundred robbers gathered around them, like hyenas staring at their prey, their eyes shining dangerously.

Twenty Imperial light cavalry were valiant, and they took the initiative to charge, trying to open a gap for Caterina and them to escape.

Unfortunately, there were too many enemies, the number of the two sides was nearly fifteen to one, and the terrain was a mountainous area where it was difficult to launch a fierce charge, so after a fierce battle, they finally died on the spot.

None of the twenty soldiers survived, and the robbers paid the price of more than thirty people, but that's all.

Catalina survived because the robbers found out about their nobility and wanted to get more benefits from them, which saved their lives.

Hundreds of robbers are making their way down the mountain path to return to their lairs.

Just a dozen kilometers away, on a high mountain, there is a large manor built by a local rich manor, which has now been occupied by a large number of robbers as a lair.

The total number of robbers was nearly a thousand, and the eldest was a butcher with a fleshy face and fierce eyes.

Except for the more prominent members of the robbers, the robbers wore very tattered clothes, making it look like the location of a gang of beggars.

They are all ordinary people displaced by this disaster, maybe just a few months ago, they were ordinary citizens, but now, they have become bandits who do all kinds of evil, each carrying at least one human life on their backs.

This huge bandit organization, which looks chaotic, has this extremely strict set of laws and regulations, one of which is that if anyone is found to have any signs of illness, they will be immediately taken out and killed, and then burned in a fire.

Even if it's just a common cold, it's always treated like this.

It was under the protection of this rule that the bandit organization successfully avoided the invasion of the Black Death and survived in the area where the disease spread.

Due to the effectiveness of the measures, the control of the disease here is even more robust than that inside the Po River Defence, and there is almost no possibility of disease outbreaks.

Of course, the corresponding thing here is that he has lost his due humanity and has become a demon in human skin.

Every day, the bandit organization sends several squads out to search for supplies and financial reports, while the rest of the people stay in the lair, protecting their treasures and food.
