"Earl Sartre, I apologize to you for the matter of Earl Mead. I know you can't forgive me, and I have never expected you to forgive me." Eugen's tone eased, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.

Earl Sartre looked at Eugen coldly, with a sneer of contempt on his lips. He knew that Eugen was just trying to make him obey orders, but this was simply impossible.

Eugen sighed, waved his hand to the Count's offspring beside him, and continued, "I am not as a count or as a commander. I am just a subject of the empire and the people of His Majesty Charles VI. I hope you will not put the subjects of the entire empire, including your descendants, into danger because of a moment of anger."

The expression on Eugen's face and tone changed with the content of the words, adding a touch of compassion.

Earl Sartre stared at Eugen and scolded coldly: "What, are you trying to threaten me with their lives? Humph, do you think I will believe what you are saying?"

The Count's son next to Eugen was also a little angry. He looked at Eugen with a sneer and said, "Just because of you, a yellow-haired chicken-like thing, you still want my life!?"

Eugen was not angry when he heard the insults from the count's son, but shook his head and sighed, "Oh, you misunderstood what I mean, Earl Sartre."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Count Sartre and said solemnly: "I am talking about not only you, but also the thousands of people in your city, their children, and even the countless families and people in the rear empire, may be in crisis because of your decision."

"This crisis does not come from me, but from San Marino not far from the south! From Rome! From Florence! From where all diseases are raging!"

In the end, Eugen's voice became louder and louder, but it did not mean coercion.

Hearing this, Count Sartre fell into silence. He was not very clear about what happened in the south, but had heard of it. At this moment, he also wanted to learn about some of the situation from Eugen.

Seeing that Count Sartre's expression was a little loose, Eugen hurriedly continued: "Count Sartre, the terrible Black Death has been rampant in these places. Not long ago, I just received the news that Rome has been completely defeated by disease and turned into a dead city..."

"All nonsense!" Eugen was halfway through his speech, and the Count's son next to him was angrily scolded: "How could Rome become a dead city? It is the place where the Holy See is located, and the glory of God is shining!"

As he said that, the Count's son turned to Count Sartre and asked for instructions: "Father, I think this guy is just trying to deceive you and deprive you of military power. If you want me to tell me, just drive him out!"

Eugen did not refute the words of the Earl's son. He just stood aside, watching the performance of the Earl's son as if he was watching a jumping clown.

Count Sartre did not obey his son. Although he was irritable, he was not an ignorant and reckless stupid person. He did not believe that Eugen knew what was in Rome. Even if he borrowed Eugen from both of his courage, he would not dare to make up such rumors.

If this was something Eugen made up, once the Holy See knew about it, it would be possible to send Eugen to a pile of firewood to burn to death in the name of heresy.

"You retreat first." After thinking about it, Earl Sartre said in a deep voice, and then he stared at Eugen intently and signaled Eugen to continue.

When Eugen saw that the time was almost right, he took out a letter from his arms and asked the guards next to him to submit it to Count Sartre. At the same time, he explained: "Earl Sartre, this is a letter written by the Pope in Vienna. It was delivered to me shortly after the city of Rome was broken. You can see the content above. Although the Pope did not say it clearly, he also mentioned that the city of Rome encountered an unprecedented terrifying crisis."

Earl Sartre's expression subsided. He clearly saw the paint seal belonging to the pope on the envelope. He took out the letter and browsed it casually, and he could see that what Eugen said was true.

Moreover, the meaning of this letter itself is more substantial than Eugen's words. The Pope actually wrote to Eugen himself, asking Eugen to be responsible for fighting the Black Death, which means that he has gained recognition and support from the Holy See.

No wonder the big men in the Earl Mead tribe in the Holy See did not continue to pursue the matter. It was possible that the big men would shut up, and only the current pope could do it.

Speaking of this, Earl Sartre was already feeling a little relaxed, but he still said calmly: "But, what does this have to do with me, Verona? Even if the disease you mentioned is true, I don't believe that he can cross those mountains and rivers and come to me, Verona."

Upon hearing this, Eugen said with a serious expression: "Earl Sartre, you should know that the first place where the disease occurs is in the far east, near the city of Adder, in Mongolia."

"The first disease was to easily cross the vast Mediterranean Sea and reach Sicily. I had arranged for people to conduct strict defense on Sicily, but it only lasted for less than a few months before it was completely broken. Then the disease even crossed the Strait of Messina and stepped onto Italian land."

"It can be said that where there are people, the disease may spread. The only thing we can do is to delay time as much as possible and prevent the disease from coming."

Earl Sartre was silent again, but he was very angry about Eugen's death, and therefore hated Eugen very much, but he was not prepared to let all the residents of his city and his descendants bury Eugen with him.

Finally, Count Sartre spoke, "Okay, I believe what you said for the time being, but I need to consider it. In addition, there is no evidence yet, so you better give me some evidence with enough amount of money."

Speaking of this, Eugen knew that this was the bottom line of Count Sartre. It would be unrealistic to make Count Sartre agree to him immediately.

Therefore, Eugen did not say much, but just bowed to Count Sartre and said goodbye. When he was about to leave the door, Eugen turned around and looked at Count Sartre and finally said, "Eugen, I will go down and prepare evidence now. I hope you can think clearly as soon as possible. The disease is pressing step by step, and we don't have much time left."

After saying that, Eugen left directly.

Earl Sartre was sitting in the main seat, looking at Eugen's departure, thinking.

The Count's son glanced at Eugen angrily, stepped forward and asked, "Father, you won't really agree to Eugen, have you forgotten your promise to Hohenzollern?"
