Compared with Eugen and the others, Corleone was several times faster, and after learning the news of Eugen's accident, he set off directly from Heidelberg and headed for the Italian peninsula due south.

In the past few days, he has crossed Viana and officially entered the Italian peninsula, with the city of San Marino in front of him. In the area beyond San Marino, is Pescara, where Eugen is located.

This bloody man of Germanic ancestry, whose physical injuries were not yet healed, had already crossed the borders of the small half of the Holy Roman Empire on horseback.

Most of the other wounds on his body were almost healed, except for the huge half-fist-deep wound on his waist, which was still in a state of scabbing at the moment. As a result of the long horseback ride, a trace of blood would ooze from the scab from time to time, staining the gauze wrapped around the outer edge red, and at the same time causing severe pain.

But all of this was stiffly supported by him with superhuman willpower. Eugen didn't know that Corleone had come looking for him, and if he knew, he would have written to stop Corleone.

When he arrived in San Marino, Corleone did not move forward, he also heard about Eugen in Pescara along the way, if he continued to advance, it was very likely that he would miss because he could not find the escort team and Eugen, but it would be wiser to wait for Eugen in San Marino.

He ran fast all the way, but he inadvertently suffered a team behind him.

"I wipe ...... Is this kid made of wheels? How could he run so fast, like crazy, we almost didn't catch up with him. A man in a Saxon robe on a black horse panted.

Behind him were dozens of men dressed like him, but strangely enough, they looked like merchants, but there were no goods in the procession, and each one rode a horse.

The eyes of the adults were fierce when he spoke, and when he looked from the front, he could see a white patch on one side of his eye. If Corleone was here, it would be White-Eyed Mosto, the bandit ----leader who hunted him down last time.

Beside Mosto, a small leader also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this guy still has injuries on his body, and he dares to ride so fast, not to mention anything else, just this courage, he is really a bit like us Saxons." ”

After saying this, the little leader's head was slapped on by Mosto, only to hear Mosto's angry words: "Shut up, you, he is the enemy, and he is the target I want to kill." Give me a little smarter.,Last time I let that guy survive.,I was scolded by the boss.,This time I can't let go of the target anymore.。 ”

The last half of the sentence was said by Mosto to everyone behind him, and there was a cry of wolf howling in the caravan, and it was obvious that this group of people were all robbers.

The little leader standing beside Mosto shrunk his neck and looked at Corleone's back in front of him, with a strong killing intent in his eyes. After thinking about it, he said in a cold voice: "Second master, do you need so many people to deal with this miscellaneous thing?" Or I'll sneak into the city myself, wipe that guy's neck in the night, and I'll be able to lift his head in front of you in the wee hours of the morning. ”

Mosto shook his head, also looked at Corleone's back coldly, and said: "No, this time the boss has other arrangements, he means that we should follow this guy and find the big fish behind him." You can go into the city, but don't alarm him, just keep an eye on him, and wait for the boss to come. ”

The robbers agreed, and then they broke into pieces, and they scattered in all directions, towards the city of San Marino.

Under the threat of the Black Death, large cities like San Marino still bustle enough to keep people coming in and out of their doorways.

Dozens of robbers disguised as merchants, like a drop of ink dripping into the sea, did not cause the slightest reaction.

At this time, Eugen's escort team had actually reached the border with Pescara, and crossed the mountain pass in front of him, which was the San Marino area.

However, at this time, Eugen also encountered the first real crisis on his journey.

The powerful Viscount of the northern part of the Pescara region, the biological brother of Count Mead, Viscount Eddard stood in the way of that mountain pass.

He was joined in the way by his soldiers, a mixed army of three hundred archers and infantry!

There were no heavy cavalry or light cavalry in the ranks, and it was difficult for a powerful viscount to afford too many cavalry troops, but even if it was only three hundred ordinary troops, it would be an insurmountable hurdle.

However, this mountain pass was the only road within a hundred miles, and it was difficult for them to easily bypass it, and even if they wanted to change the route, Viscount Ed could also make a detour and continue to block Eugen's path.

In other words, this hurdle is a hurdle that Eugen must overcome.

"Eugen, you cowardly bastard, you murdered my brother, I want to avenge him!" At the same time, Viscount Ed also stood in the line, insulting Eugen in the escort team.

"Presumptuous!" Steward West walked to the front of the line and shouted coldly, "Viscount Ed, Count Eugen will have to go through the trial of the Imperial Council of Elders before he can be convicted. Are you trying to commit treason by blocking the Imperial escort team like this?! ”

Steward West had lived in the military in his early years, and he also had a killing aura on his body, and at this moment, with a loud shout, Viscount Ed's momentum suddenly weakened.

However, since he dared to come here, he naturally couldn't be easily frightened away, so he only heard Viscount Ed say loudly: "No matter what, I have to avenge my brother, he Eugen will not pay the price, and I will never let him pass here easily." ”

As he spoke, Viscount Ed waved his hand, and the archers in the military array behind him put their arrows on their bows and arrows and aimed them at the escort team.

This move fully illustrates Viscount Ed's determination, and at this distance, the archers can easily hit the soldiers of the escort team with the advantage of geographical advantage.

Moreover, the escort team is also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and once there is a conflict, Eugen and they will definitely not take advantage.

"You!" Steward West pointed at Viscount Ed, he didn't expect the other party to be so bold, looking at this meaning, I'm afraid it's really difficult to be good.

At this time, Eugen rode out of the team slowly, pressed the butler's hand down, and said calmly to Viscount Ed: "What do you want?" ”

Count Ed looked at Eugen who came out of the crowd, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and said, "Eugen, do you finally dare to stand up?" Hmph, my request is also very simple, I just want you, from under my crotch, drill through! ”
