Half a novel has passed, and Eugen has basically given a general account of the battle. At the same time, he also emphasized that he was just lucky, the opponent's coach attacked lightly, and he took the opportunity to take the result.

The prince only smiled and replied: "Haha, luck is also part of strength. Moreover, being able to rely on that little force to defeat the powerful heavy cavalry is also a reflection of your ability. ”

While the two were talking, Eugen also learned something from the prince's mouth that he had not already understood.

The battle seemed small, but the impact it had on the back burner was significant. Especially for the Holy Roman Empire as a whole, it was of far-reaching significance.

First of all, this was not a formal declaration of war, but a tentative attack by the French Empire.

The French Empire and the Holy Roman Empire had a long-standing feud, and over the years there was constant friction between the two sides, and all kinds of verbal exchanges never stopped.

However, both sides were afraid of each other's strength, so while clashing, they also maintained a certain degree of restraint. And the bottom line of this restraint is that neither side sent troops to attack the other.

War is not child's play, and the French Empire also has to consider many factors, and it cannot be said that it will fight directly as soon as the head is hot.

And this frontal attack was obviously the result of the French Empire's weighing.

In recent years, the French Empire has prospered, with bumper harvests in several important grain-producing areas and intensive commercial trade in the cities. At the same time, he also won a major victory in the war with the Kingdom of England, and received a huge ransom for the war.

Therefore, the current French Empire can be said to be rich and strong, and the strength is inflated.

The Holy Roman Empire, on the other hand, had many internal and external troubles and many problems. With the weakening of the royal power, several grand duchies and kingdoms in the country were constantly contradictory to each other, which was the disaster caused by the king's lack of sons. At the same time, Prince Eugen, who is also the pillar of the empire, has been riddled with illness in recent years, and his physical condition has deteriorated, and he is no longer able to lead troops to war.

In the interim, the French Empire began to have some ideas. After some controversy in the royal palace, Field Marshal Rausch Tyrande led an elite army of several thousand arms to attack the Holy Roman Empire.

Due to the tentative attack, the number of troops sent this time was not large, and the army was led by Rausch Tyrande, the last of the four generals of the French Empire.

Moreover, at the same time as the attack, the army of the French Empire also deliberately avoided several grand duchies and kingdom cities in the Holy Roman Empire, and its troops were directed at Vienna, in order to test the power of the ruler of the kingdom.

To put it bluntly, it is to test whether the Habsburg family is still strong enough.

King Charles VI naturally could not let the French army reach his doorstep like this, and he ordered the duchy kingdoms along the way to send troops to intercept it early in the morning. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and if the Holy Roman Empire were to raise the power of the whole country, it would be very terrible.

However, the dukes and marquis who control one side of the land have an ambiguous attitude and shirk the dispatch of troops for various reasons. As a result, the French Empire's army traveled all the way from the Rhine to Casselburg without encountering any decent resistance.

These dukes and marquis also intended to test the Habsburgs, and if the Habsburgs could not even solve this point of French soldiers, then their rule would really not be able to be maintained.

After much deliberation, the king and the prince decided to send Eugen to the front and ordered him to stop the French army.

Due to the haste of preparation, Eugen's soldiers were basically pieced together at zero hour. The army of the French Empire marched quickly, and there was no time for him to mobilize an elite army.

As for why Eugen, one is because he is a Habsburg of pure blood, and the other is because his name happens to be similar to the name of the famous Prince Eugen. If it can be defeated, the empire can trumpet that there is a successor to Prince Eugen, and the pillars of the empire will stand tall or something.

Even if Eugen fails, it won't be bad for the royal family. Eugen's engagement contract with Princess Maria has always been very regrettable to the king, and if Eugen fails and is captured, or simply killed, he will naturally have no possibility of marrying the princess.

When the time comes, the princess will be free again. The royal family can also marry the princess to the French Empire and conclude a century-old friendship contract.

This is the plan of the Empire, and he Eugen is nothing more than a pawn, toyed with between applause.

Originally, it was almost impossible for Eugen to jump out of this circle, this was his fate, and he had no right to decide for himself.

However, because of a small accident, the original Eugen died, and the soul named Wang Shaoyu became the new Eugen, which made everything different.

First, Eugen defeated the armies of the French Empire in an absolutely contrarian situation. He even captured the marshal of the French Empire by the way, so that they had bargaining chips with the French Empire.

Eugen then met with the prince and passed one of the prince's tests, which made the prince appreciate him somewhat.

With these two points, he finally managed to escape his original fate and embarked on a different, brighter and brighter path.

After this conversation, the prince also had a general understanding of Eugen's ability, and he really began to appreciate this slightly young young man, and he also had a love for talent in his heart.

"Haha, Eugen, I'm so impressed by what you think, it's really terrifying." After saying this, the prince's face showed a contemplative expression, and after a moment he spoke, as if he had decided something: "Tomorrow, His Majesty will grant you the title of count, and give you a large area of land in the southern region of Ljubljana as your fief. ”

After speaking, the prince looked at Eugen with blazing eyes and said, "Haha, the king thinks that you will become the pillar of the empire in the future, you should not live up to this expectation." ”

"Earl, earl." Eugen's eyes widened in surprise at hearing this. He never imagined that he would be awarded such a high title, and he was also a powerful earl with a fief, which was too exaggerated.

You know, as an earl, he can already establish a real earl state, and his status is extremely noble.

Seeing his surprised expression, the prince joked, "Why, haha, I'm not satisfied." The king wants to give you a higher title, but unfortunately there is no corresponding land to give you. ”

Eugen said excitedly: "Satisfied, so satisfied, hehehe." He laughed silly.
