Chapter 182 Hunting Distress (4/102)
"What!"
Hearing this number, Eugen could no longer calm down. He didn't care about explaining the situation to Father Luther, so he hurried out of the room and ran towards the stables in the castle.
Seeing two guards standing guard in front of him, Eugen immediately shouted: "Hurry up, let me inform Viscount Liszt, let him bring all the light cavalry here and prepare to set off with me!"
Eugen had prepared a light cavalry unit without a fixed mission, intending to call it in an emergency moment, and it is now the emergency moment.
After hearing the order, the two guards immediately ran up and went to convey the order to Viscount Liszt. Although they didn't know what Eugen was going to do, they could tell that things must be extremely urgent by looking at Eugen's appearance.
Half an hour later, Eugen had already put on his armor and his sword, and rode his black gold and walked out of the stable.
After careful feeding of the black gold during this period, its fur was smooth and shiny, reflecting bright white arcs like silk in the sun.
Eugen wore armor and held a sword, and rode on a horse with a majestic appearance, with a strong sensation as a general.
At the exit from the frontier area to the south, Liszt and the five hundred light cavalry he waved were waiting there, quietly waiting for Eugen's order.
Eugen walked to the front of the team, without saying a word, but waved his hand and signaled the team to set off.
A total of five hundred elite light cavalry followed Eugen, like a sharp blade that was silently unsheathed, passing through the city gate and slowly entering the wilderness outside the city.
The earth was covered with white ice and snow, and the leaves of the oak trees beside the road had fallen, leaving only rugged branches, like spears stabbing into the sky.
After all the teams walked out of the city, Eugen rushed up quickly with his troops. He had known about the general location of the Sartre family's hunting, and now he is not blindly running.
Just after getting the news, Eugen actually forgot that there were robbers outside the city.
Under the influence of the disaster, a large number of murderers were exposed and took the opportunity to gather together and turned into a group of vicious robbers, and they did many things that were angry and resentful.
Just the group that Father Luther met, there were more than 200 people. Even if his combat effectiveness was low, this number alone could not be underestimated.
The nobles of the Sartre family went out to hunt and only brought twenty soldiers. This power was more than enough to deal with grizzlies, but if it was used to deal with robbers, it was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs.
Once they unfortunately encounter robbers, their fate will inevitably be very tragic. Recently, there is news that robbers are moving to the Pohe defense line, which means that their chances of encountering robbers will be greatly increased.
When Eugen thought of the possible consequences, he felt extremely anxious. The Pohe defense line that he had finally consolidated was destroyed by such a destruction, then Eugen would even have the desire to kill.
Eugen also became more and more depressed as he thought about it. He found that after he traveled through time, he had nothing to do, and he was almost dealing with robbers.
Last time, a large number of robbers came to kill him, but this time it was a threat caused by robbers. From this point of view, these robbers in the empire are really a big problem.
The daughter of Count Sartre, named Caterina, is different from Eugen. She has never dealt with robbers and once felt that she would never be able to deal with those humble and dirty bedbugs in her life.
But she found that she was wrong, and she was very wrong.
At this moment, her carefully tied hair was scattered, covering the corners of her swollen eyes. Strands of hair were stuck together by blood, which was very embarrassed.
There was a very severe pain from the part of the face that was beaten. Katerina received education for the knight since she was a child. The family treated her as a man and asked her to be firm, tenacious and persistent.
But now, in the pain and confusion, Katerina still couldn't help but feel a little scared.
A tear fell from the corner of her eyes.
The surrounding scenes were rising and falling, as if they were jumping, and Katerina was being carried by someone, walking in the rugged forest.
There were several robbers behind, with two soft bodies on their shoulders, which were Caterina's two brothers, the eldest and second son of Count Sartre.
As for the soldiers who were escorting them, they had all died. Not long after they left the Pohe defense line, they encountered a group of robbers.
To be precise, it is a group.
Nearly three hundred robbers surrounded them, like a group of hyenas staring at prey, with dangerous light flashing in their eyes.
Twenty imperial light cavalry were very brave. They took the initiative to charge, trying to open the gap for Katerina and the others to escape.
Unfortunately, there were too many enemies. The number of people on both sides was nearly fifteen to one, and the terrain was difficult to launch a fierce charge. Therefore, after a fierce battle, they finally died on the spot.
None of the twenty soldiers were alive, and the robbers also paid more than thirty people, but that was all.
The reason why Katerina and the others survived was because the robbers discovered their aristocratic status and wanted to get more benefits from them, which left their lives behind.
Hundreds of robbers were walking along the mountain road to return to their nests.
Just over a dozen kilometers away, there is a large manor built by local rich people. At present, this manor has been occupied by a large number of robbers as their nest.
The total number of robbers is nearly one thousand. The boss was originally a butcher with a fat face and a fierce look.
Except for the more stalwart people among the robbers, the clothes worn by other robbers are very ragged, making this place look like the location of the Beggars' Sect.
They were all ordinary people who were displaced because of this disaster. Perhaps a few months ago, they were ordinary little citizens, but now they have become robbers who do evil, and each of them has at least one life on their backs.
This huge robber organization looks chaotic, but there is an extremely strict set of regulations inside it. One of them is that once someone is found to have any signs of illness, they will be immediately caught and killed, and then burned into the fire.
Even if it's just a common cold, it's all handled like this.
It was under the guarantee of this provision that the robber organization successfully avoided the invasion of the Black Death and preserved it in the area where the disease spreads.
Because the measures are very efficient, the control of the disease here is even more stable than that inside the Pohe defense line, and there is almost no possibility of a disease outbreak.
Of course, what corresponds to here is that it loses its due human nature and becomes a demon wearing human skin.
The robber organization sends several teams out to search for supplies and financial reports every day, while the rest stay in their nests to protect their treasures and food.
