Chapter 133: I'm Sorry, I Lied
As the situation changed, the steward of West gradually understood Eugen's thoughts, and a strong sense of admiration suddenly rose in his heart.
"Able to bend and stretch, flexible and changeable, not confined to the momentary gains and losses, this Count Eugen has the demeanor of a general." Steward Vester looked at Eugen with burning eyes, and vaguely saw in him a trace of the Prince's youth.
As Eugen approached first, the infantry in the front row of Viscount Ed's army did not know whether to stop or not, and there was some confusion for a while.
In the end, Viscount Ed said weakly: "Let him come over, isn't Count Eugen going to drill my crotch?" You don't have to stop him. ”
At the order, the infantry line split off on both sides, making way for a road several meters wide.
Eugen and Vester rode in first, followed by the light cavalry behind him, five of whom slowly passed through it, followed by the infantry in the rear.
Compared to the infantry of the escort team, Viscount Ed's infantry was like a group of farmers. The viscount's infantry did not even have a uniform uniform, and most of the armor on their bodies was made by individuals, and some even wore upper body armor made of cowhide, which looked like a hunter.
The infantry in the escort team was wearing uniform standard armor, made of stainless steel, which emitted a hazy silver glow in the sunlight, and it was full of protection at a glance.
The burqa on the chest was embroidered with a uniform black double eagle, and the sharp beak of the eagle was like a hook, which pierced people's eyes.
The viscount's infantry could not help but feel ashamed of themselves, and secretly glad that the two sides had not started a battle, and the thought of fighting these soldiers who were wrapped into iron lumps made their legs a little weak.
In front of the escort team, Eugen had already walked up to Viscount Ed on horseback, looking condescendingly at Viscount Ed standing on the ground.
The Viscount looked up at Eugen with a far-fetched smile on his face, but he still stubbornly said: "Hmph, since you have already said it, then come quickly, as long as you get under my crotch, I will spare you." ”
As he spoke, Viscount Ed spread his legs and struck a posture of zama step.
Eugen did not dismount, but looked at Viscount Ed with a stupid look, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay." ”
Then, Eugen pulled it out of his bosom, escaped from a small copper coin of Finney, and threw it into the crotch of Viscount Eddard with a flick of his hand, which looked like he was calling Hanako.
"This copper coin has been with me for more than 20 years, in a sense it is another me, let it replace me."
After saying this, Eugen didn't look at Viscount Ed, and directly turned his horse's head and walked towards the other side of the mountain pass.
Viscount Ed's soldiers were all in front of him, and Eugen would cross the pass without encountering any more obstacles.
Anyone can see that Eugen is talking nonsense, what copper coin that has been followed for more than twenty years, the most worthless copper coin, that a madman will keep for so long.
Steward Vester followed Eugen, he saw this scene in its entirety, and immediately had a strong smile, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he had to hold it desperately so that he would not let himself laugh out loud.
Viscount Ed felt a violent anger, he looked at Eugen's back with red eyes, and shouted loudly: "You are lying, what a broken copper coin, you despicable and shameless villain, you killed my brother, I will avenge him!" ”
Eugen had already rushed out of the mountain pass, rode his horse and galloped wildly, and when he heard this, he turned around, looked at Viscount Ed, and said with a sly smile: "Hahaha, that's right, I just lied, what can you do to me?" ”
Behind him, fifty light cavalry followed him out of the pass, and a group of infantry also sped past Viscount Eddard.
The rumbling footsteps of the infantry echoed on both sides of the pass, like an avalanche. With shields in their left hands and their right hands resting on the hilt of their swords at their waists, they were silent and majestic.
Viscount Ed stood beside these infantrymen, like a little white rabbit at the foot of an elephant herd, he smacked his lips, and after all, he still did not give the order to attack.
In this way, Viscount Ed watched Eugen's escort rush past him and rush into the San Marino district.
In the wilderness in front of the pass, Eugen's wanton laughter and laughter echoed, and even the steward of Vester laughed heartily.
An autumn wind blew through the mountain pass, and Viscount Ed sat down on the ground, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that if he missed this time, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to avenge Count Mead again in his life.
At the same time, Eugen's behavior also left a deep impression on Viscount Ed's mind, even if the other party was a great enemy of life and death, Viscount Ed had to admit that the other party could be said to be brave and resourceful, and courageous.
Looking at the attitude of those escort soldiers towards Eugen, Viscount Ed could guess that even in the trial of the Imperial Council of Elders, Eugen would not suffer any major tribulations.
"Brother, you died in vain this time." Viscount Ed sat down on the ground and let out a feeble, helpless cry.
After passing Pescara, the escort team entered the Ancona area, an area under the control of the city of San Marino.
Ancona was also a port city, and the avenue that Eugen followed was close to the Mediterranean side, with a flat terrain as far as the eye could see.
The field of vision became wider, and occasionally they could see farmers harvesting crops in the fields near the avenue.
The peasants often bent down and bowed when they saw the escort procession passing by, they did not know the situation of the procession, but in their opinion, anyone who passed by with a large group of soldiers in this way was a high nobleman.
Although the threat of the Black Death was imminent, the farmers could not give up their food crops in their fields, and some of them may have left, but most of them remained.
For them, food is more important than life, but there is nothing wrong with saying that.
Seeing this, Eugen gradually frowned, and he realized that he needed to go deeper and more meticulously in order to get these poor poor people away from the threat of the Black Death.
Passing through the city of Ancona, however, he heard the good news that the city had also implemented a pearl sealing plan, and that all the ships had not been burned, but had been moved further north to the port of Venice, and that the port had been closed so that no more ships would come.
In this way, if the disease spreads here, the threat of transmission by sea will be greatly reduced, and the spread of the disease can be controlled within a reasonable range, which will greatly benefit his work against the Black Death.
