Verona is a mountain town built in rugged mountainous terrain where the waters of the sandstone mountains come together to form the Po River, which flows from the high mountains of the interior of the continent to the Mediterranean.

The castle of the Count of Sutter was built on a high hillside on the banks of the Po River, and a deep moat separated the castle from the surrounding rocky ground, and the only way to get to and from it was through a drawbridge that was lifted, and once the drawbridge was lifted, it was almost impossible to enter the castle.

Looking through the car window, Eugen couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "What a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this castle is built in this kind of place, it is simply a natural pass." ”

Entering the castle, there was no obstacle, the whole castle looked very loosely defended, but Eugen looked closely, and he could see that on the inside of those walls, a large number of soldiers could be hoarded, and if the enemy army did not know the situation to invade without permission, its fate would be very miserable.

Angry to angry, seeing the layout of the castle of Verona at this moment, Eugen also attached a little importance to this Count of Sartre in his heart.

According to what is already known, Eugen knows that this Count of Sutter had followed the Duke of Ji'an in his early years to fight in the south and the north, and established great feats.

The Turkish sultans in the south were always eyeing the Holy Roman Empire, and the first stop of the Turkish army's attack on the empire was the Italian peninsula, where the Medici troops were the first to encounter.

Among the Turks, the name of the Duke of Ji'an has always been circulated, and they call him 'Pilaster', which is used to describe the strength of the Duke of Ji'an, and no one can easily break his line.

And under the command of Duke Ji'an's 'Solid Pilaster', one of the strongest and most powerful generals is this Count of Sartre.

Count Sartre was short-tempered in his youth, but in old age he was a little more restrained, but he became very stubborn.

What Eugen is most afraid of is this kind of old stubbornness that is difficult to communicate, but most of them are very paranoid and understand their stubbornness as loyalty, which is the most troublesome part.

Either way, Verona had to be involved in the Po River defense line if it was to be built.

Eugen left Venice in the morning, and when he arrived in Verona, he did not stop for a moment, and went straight to the castle where the Count of Sartre lived.

The guards on both sides were prepared for Eugen's arrival, so they did not stop it, but there was a trace of unkindness between their eyebrows, and some people sneered at Eugen's back with a contemptuous attitude.

Beside the road leading from the main entrance to the hall stood two rows of stubborn soldiers, their armor not very bright, and there was a dull rust color on it, which seemed to be very miserable.

However, in fact, the reason why these armors are like this is because they are soaked in blood, and the fact that these soldiers wear such armor means that they are soldiers who have really experienced the iron-blooded battlefield, and once they start a battle, they will inevitably show a terrifying ferocity.

Eugen also saw the name of the armor, but the expression on his face remained the same, without any change.

After all, Eugen was also a man who had experienced two life-and-death battles, and he dared to conclude that Count Sartre would never dare to do anything to him.

After all, the Duke of Ji'an once said that Eugen had the right to represent the Duke himself, and if Count Sartre was loyal to the Duke of Ji'an, it would be impossible for Eugen to suffer any harm.

Therefore, Eugen was completely fearless, and he didn't feel it at all when he saw those murderous soldiers, and even after passing through the passage, Eugen turned around and said with a smile: "Hahaha, what a group of good soldiers, I hope you can have the opportunity to serve me in the future." ”

As the commander of the anti-disaster army, Eugen was fully qualified to recruit these soldiers to become his subordinates, and when he heard Eugen's words, those soldiers were stunned, and then their faces showed anger.

Count Sartre is a loyal general, and his first requirement when leading troops is also loyalty, these soldiers have followed Count Sartre for many years, and their loyalty to Count Sartre has long been written in their bones.

But now this hairy boy who came from nowhere dares to say anything like allegiance without shame, which is really too arrogant.

The soldiers didn't have a good impression of Eugen, but now he has caused public anger, and if it weren't for their different identities, these soldiers would even want to go up and teach Eugen a good lesson.

Eugen naturally felt the anger of these soldiers, but he just sneered secretly in his heart and said, "Hmph, what's the matter with being angry, in the end you don't want to serve me!" ”

Following the passage, Eugen finally entered the castle hall.

The décor in the hall is somewhat Gothic, with sharp iron spikes sticking out of the walls and pointing diagonally upwards at the roof.

On the roof of the house is a grand mural of soldiers fighting against a dragon, and countless ironclad soldiers surround a huge fire-breathing dragon.

The dragon's body was stained red with blood, and the background was a monstrous flame of burning rage, and the dragon's eyes were also surging with rage, and it was opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, spewing raging flames.

Black figures could be faintly seen in the flames, soldiers who had been charred by that time.

The picture reveals a tragic and tragic meaning, and the family crest of Count Sartre is the Dragon Slayer, a warrior with a long sword in his hand, facing a dragon rising into the sky.

From this, it can be imagined what kind of martial arts prevail in such a family.

In the family of Count Sartre, bravery was the highest honor, and both men and women were given military education from an early age, trained like the Spartans, and tempered their children's will in a variety of harsh environments.

Many of the nobles called them barbarians, and some called them Spartans, which is a slight exaggeration, but it can also be seen from this what kind of arrogant, fierce and brave family it is.

Stepping into the hall, Count Sartre, who was already in his fifties, sat on the seat above the hall in high spirits, looking at Eugen condescendingly.

On either side of the hall stood two rows of richly dressed men, all of whom were the children or grandchildren of Count Sartre, and the clothes they wore looked luxurious, but they were very strange, like a combination of armor and fine clothes, with the luxury of a nobleman and the iron and blood of a warrior.

There were more than 20 people in the two rows, including men and women, all of whom were very strong, and they looked at Eugen with a very unkind look, and it seemed that they already knew what Eugen was here for.

Count Sartre looked at Eugen even more angrily, as if he was about to open his mouth to scold, he was burly, one person was equal to two Eugen, and his lips had a rough beard above and below, as hard as the tip of the formation.

When Eugen saw Count Sartre, he felt that this guy had some resemblance to the robber Blackbeard.
