"I didn't expect that you, Lord Eugen, have such knowledge. This is really a blessing for the empire." After hearing Eugen's introduction, Dimit praised from the bottom of his heart.

He was in charge of intelligence and has focused his strength on the news about the Black Death these days. He naturally knew the terrible degree of this disease. However, all he could see was superficial things, and some more secret characteristics were not something he could understand.

But for now, Eugen told him almost everything he knew about the Black Death, and even said that the Black Death was an extremely small creature.

There was no understanding of bacteria in this era, and this understanding also caused some conceptual impact on Dimit.

"No, I don't know these things. Most of them are reasoning and guessing, and they still need experiments to verify. However, I took countermeasures based on this kind of guessing, which has played some role for the time being." Eugen said with a chuckling. This is not that he is modest. In fact, he cannot explain the source of this knowledge, so he can only use guesses to make excuses.

Dimit had a good grasp of intelligence. He believed that Eugen guessed these, but it didn't matter if it was not guessed. The key was to see if it was useful. Eugen's knowledge can play a role at present, which is the most powerful proof.

Thinking of this, Dimit couldn't help but say with some regret: "Oh, please forgive my offense. Lord Eugen, your previous actions are really reckless. Earl Mead's background is really great. If you kill him, you will leave many disasters for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Eugen's eyes had a hint of murderous intention. He said in a cold voice: "I don't like killing people either, but the military discipline of the anti-disaster army must be cleared. In the fight against the Black Death, whoever dares to make trouble will be the public enemy of everyone!"

"But..." Dimit could understand what Eugen said, but hesitated: "But if the disaster-resistance army is gone, won't it still be dispersed? If a leader has a problem and causes the disease to spread, it would be bad."

Dimit's worries are reasonable. It is no exaggeration to say that no one in Europe is more suitable for this position than Eugen. Only he has enough understanding of the Black Death, and only he can balance the forces of multiple parties and control all the forces to resist disasters.

However, this is politics, and the imperial emperor also needs to consider a lot. The emperor also knew these situations in his heart, but he still had to replace him. Only in this way can the anger of the nobles be calmed down.

The conversation between the two ended up with no result. Not long after, Eugen was escorted away by ministers sent by the royal family. In the edict, the emperor deprived Eugen of all his power and titles, and only retained his aristocratic identity.

The escorts were also accompanied by the defense ministers who were famous for their extraordinary wisdom in the court. The defense minister was nearly forty years old, and it was the period when his ability reached its peak, and he had outstanding features in battlefield defense.

This time he was sent here to let him replace Eugen and serve as the commander of the disaster resistance army to resist the Black Death.

In the palace, the defense minister looked down on Eugen very much and asked to withdraw the defense line in just two months. This could be said to be a military defeat. Therefore, he felt that Eugen was a slippery boy who sought fame.

Now, he will have to wait two months before he can understand how valuable it is to only push Eugen back one line of defense in two months.

Dimit naturally followed the king's order and assisted the Minister of Defense wholeheartedly. However, in his mind, he often remembered what Eugen said to him at the end of the conversation that day.

He said, "Haha, Mr. Dimit, you don't have to worry too much. Why don't I make a bet with you? I will see you again in less than two months. By that time, I will be the commander of the disaster resistance army."

After saying this, Eugen left with a laugh, leaving Dimitri alone and stood there for a long time.

He suddenly understood how with the wisdom of Eugen, how could he not see that there would be serious consequences of killing Eugen. But he still had to do this, which could only mean one thing, that is, Eugen had already thought about the possible consequences clearly. Killing Eugen was not the result of his impulse, but the final decision he made after weighing the trade-offs.

When Dimitr thought of this, his whole body suddenly shivered. After a long time, he looked at the direction of Eugen leaving and murmured: "This Eugen is very terrible."

In mid-September, Eugen left Cosenza and was escorted to the capital of Viana.

The minister in charge of escorting him was nothing but Prince Eugen's steward, Wester. West also had some positions in the palace and was sent by Prince Eugen, so other ministers dared not question it.

The prince sent him to escort Eugen, and his care for Eugen was obvious at a glance. Eugen was also very grateful to the prince. The prince would face some pressure if he did this. But he didn't know that the prince treated him particularly favorably because of Maria's efforts.

In addition to the butler West, the escort team also had a squadron of fifty light cavalry and one hundred sword and shield soldiers. According to the prince, the greater the momentum, the better, so that the royal family attaches importance to this matter.

In this way, the angry nobles can be given a favorable signal and comfort them as much as possible.

Of course, the prince has another meaning. If nothing unexpected happens, Eugen will be tried when he returns to Viana. If the time is too hasty, there is no way to make arrangements.

But now the team is huge and the speed of travel will slow down. In addition, the team will take two steps and take a break, which is like a sightseeing trip along the way. The journey that can be reached at a normal speed of three days is probably not necessarily accessible by ten or half a month.

Eugen was not abused along the way. He didn't even carry his handcuffs and chassis. He rode on horses all the way, talking and laughing with West slowly, without any prisoner at all, but instead looked like a nobleman who was traveling.

Eugen enjoyed the Italian folk customs along the way. The specifications were higher than those of the Butler of West when dining. The soldiers also received instructions from the prince and were treated very well with Eugen.

Only when passing by the city and other nobles are present will Eugen wear shackles to pretend, so as not to be too arrogant and arouse the nobles' anger.

They just walked and stopped like this. On the fifth day, Eugen and others came to the vicinity of Pescara.

The fief of Earl Mead is Pescara. All the viscount barons and knights on this land have a deep hatred for Eugen.
