Maria was still intently reading the letter in her hand, ignoring Margaret's complaints, Margaret did not hear Maria's response, and continued: "Well, I went to deal with it, gave the merchants a few guarantees, and reluctantly sent them back, but I have no clue what to do next......

Halfway, Margaret still didn't wait for Maria's response, so she raised her head and looked at Maria suspiciously, only to see that Maria was still looking at the letter, with a very excited expression on her face.

"What are you looking at? So happy? Margaret laughed, then stood up and walked behind Maria, following her in looking.

At first glance, she saw the signature on the envelope: Eugen.

At this time, Maria realized Margaret's arrival, she raised her head and smiled embarrassedly at Maria, and then said excitedly: "Margaret, do you know, Eugen is coming back, hahahahaha, Eugen is finally coming back!" ”

Knowing this news, Margaret instantly felt a hot current in her heart, and some pictures of her time with Eugen flashed in her mind, and unconsciously, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

It's just that she still said disdainfully: "Hmph, whoever wants a bastard to come back, he's a pervert, come back when he comes back, there's nothing to be happy about." ”

Maria was still laughing excitedly, eager to jump on the table for a dance, she turned her head to look at Margaret, and said with a winkled smile: "Hahaha, I'm glad that when he comes back, we won't have to deal with all this at all, ah...... Every day I nest here to help him take care of the city, I feel like my body is about to rust and grow cobwebs, and when he comes back, I must relax. ”

Hearing that Maria was happy for this reason, Margaret couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she shook her head helplessly, her eyes staring ahead, vaguely showing a look of remembrance.

Although they both acted as if they didn't care if Eugen came back, in fact, they both looked forward to Eugen's return very much in their hearts, and this difference was a few months, and the longing in their hearts had already spread like a vine.

"Well, that's right, anyway, this is his city, we just help him take care of it, but he's good, he runs outside every day and can't come back, does he really treat us two as servants?"

Margaret also followed Maria's words and said with a smile, the news of Eugen's return came, the city seemed to be clear, and the smiles of the two were brighter.

At this time, Eugen's troops had just passed through Venice and continued to the east for some time before entering the Lebor region.

The area around the area of Lebor is so large that it is called a county, but in fact it is almost the size of a dukedom.

It's just that the territory here is divided by the spokesmen of several big families, and the territory is just a false name, and there is no interest in the empty territory, which will not make others blush.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Eugen rode black gold in the direction of the city of Leber.

The morning sun jumped out of the distant ridge and shone head-on, there were no clouds in the sky, and the birds flew high into the sky, gradually turning into a few small black dots and disappearing into the clear sky.

Not far ahead, there was a small hill with a thick layer of snow accumulating on both sides, doubling the size of the hillside.

Eugen broke away from the group and rushed forward, rode up the hill, took a deep breath, and a clear and wide feeling welled up in his chest, as if it had become a gust of wind whirling high in the sky, feeling the feeling of freedom, breadth, and comfort.

"You! Stop, what are you doing! Suddenly, a shrill voice shattered Eugen's good feelings like an iron ball smashing a mirror, dragging him back to reality.

Two soldiers armed with spears suddenly emerged from Eugen's side and pointed the tip of their spears at Eugen, looking at a fat sheep on their faces.

They were all dressed in pure white cotton clothes, with flakes of snow hanging on their bodies, and just now they were actually lying in ambush in the snowdrift, and now they suddenly appeared and controlled Eugen.

Looking at the bright tip of the gun, Eugen's psychological feeling suddenly disappeared, he immediately raised his hands to make a surrender form, and said without dignity: "Uncle spare your life......"

The escort troops in the rear were also encircled, and there was a sudden barbaric shout on both sides of the road, the sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of cavalry in white armor suddenly rushed out, and at the same time, a dense array of infantry slowly surrounded from afar.

The infantrymen were all dressed in white armor, which was very indistinct against the snow, and it was impossible to distinguish the number of opponents.

However, just by feeling, it can be roughly judged that the total number of people on the other side is definitely more than three hundred.

Moreover, the team has a reasonable mix of troops, cavalry and infantry and long-range troops, and Eugen can feel that if the two sides really fight, the victory rate of their side will definitely not exceed 30%.

The transport team was immediately on alert, and Eugen slowly retreated to Captain Allen's side.

"Captain Allen, can you tell which noble unit they belong to?"

Eugen asked in a low voice with a sideways face, since the other party is a regular army, then there must be subordinates, as long as he can talk to the other party's lord, Eugen believes that with his current identity, the other party will never dare to do anything to himself.

Hearing Eugen's question, Captain Allen shook his head and said helplessly: "This unit does not have a military flag, and there is no identification mark on the soldier's armor, and I can't tell the origin of the other party, but since they hide this information, it means that they must have bad intentions." ”

After the other party surrounded Eugen and them, they did not attack directly, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

A moment later, a knight with angel wings on his armor stepped out of it and stood in front of Eugen and Allen.

Just from the complexity of the armor, it can be seen that this person's status is extraordinary, and he is obviously a figure like a general of the other party.

At this time, Eugen could only try to communicate, so he walked out of the team and asked tentatively: "Ahem, you guys, whose troops are you, why are you surrounding us?" ”

Hearing this, a grim smile appeared on the general's face, and he slowly opened his mouth and asked: "It depends on who you are, it seems that you are the leader of the team, so you come and tell me, are you merchants who go to Laber City?" ”

Hearing the other party's question, Eugen's heart moved, he had previously wondered why such a team appeared in the Lebor region, but now he had some eyebrows in his heart.
