However, they chose this manor in the mountain basin as their nest, but only considered the requirements of comfort and did not take into account other things, such as the defense facilities when attacked.

Perhaps after they gathered, they never thought that they would be attacked one day. After all, the entire Italian Peninsula was already in a mess and completely fell into an anarchy.

However, at this moment, a soldier wearing half-body light armor was quietly crawling in the snow pile on the southern edge of the basin, observing the situation of the bandit camp.

There is a six-ball emblem on the chest of the soldier's armor, and six balls are symmetrically distributed, with a mark of a pitchfork burning with a fire in the middle.

Six goals represent the Medici family, and the pitchfork is the family emblem of Count Sartre.

This soldier belongs to the army of Count Sartre, but now they are Eugen's quick action team and obey Eugen's orders.

Eugen led 500 light cavalry out of the defense line and into the disaster area, searching for the traces of the young masters and ladies of the Sartre family. Not long after, they found traces of the battlefield in a hunting forest area.

Dozens of corpses lay in the snow, including the corpses of twenty imperial soldiers, and the rest were robbers dressed in tattered and without any special marks.

Eugen was most afraid of seeing such a situation. He had prayed ten thousand times in his heart that something would happen, but when he saw this scene, he knew that everything would never be spared. The children of Count Sartre have now encountered robbers.

The good news is that there are no corpses here, and it is obvious that the robbers also saw their differences in their identities, so they left their lives.

Although the weather was cold, the blood from the wounds of these corpses was still steaming. The battle had just happened shortly after it was obvious.

This was also good news. Seeing this, Eugen immediately ordered the troops to start chasing, looking for the traces of the gang of robbers who had taken away the children of Count Sartre.

Time is tight, and the troops don’t even have time to deal with the bodies, so they continue to track them.

It is difficult to hide traces in snowy days, and the robbers have no consciousness to hide their own consciousness. The dense footprints in the woods guide the direction of the progress. Eugen and others can ensure that they can track the enemy without slowing down.

After walking forward for a while, Viscount Liszt's eyes were sharp. Next to the rugged roots of a dead tree in the snow, he found a gold seal half-covered by snowflakes.

The seal is a unique mark of the Sartre family, and the name on it is capitalized with the words "Catrina".

As one of the viscounts under the name of Count Sartre, Viscount Liste immediately recognized that this was the private seal of Count Sartre's youngest daughter, Miss Katerina.

It seemed that Katerina woke up and found her situation, so she managed to secretly leave a mark on them.

Hearing Viscount Liste's words, Eugen recalled a very vague figure. Regarding this Miss Caterina, he only remembered that he had met by chance in the hall of the Verona Castle that day.

However, the lady did not speak at that time, and Eugen did not pay attention to it deliberately. He could only vaguely remember that it seemed to be a lady in military uniform.

Looking at it now, Caterina is in crisis and can still remain calm and leave a mark. She is also a woman with a tough will, which aroused some respect from Eugen.

With the markings and directions, Eugen's troops moved faster. The cavalry team rode their horses all the way. In less than an hour, they found traces of a large number of people living.

At the same time, I also discovered the valley and saw the mountain manor full of robbers.

"This is Mr. Verol's manor. He is a wealthy businessman in Verona. I have been here to take a passerby in the past years, but I didn't expect that I will become the robber's nest now."

Viscount Liste said in a deep voice, with a hint of anger obviously suppressed in his tone. Velor was his friend, and he was naturally very angry when he saw his friend's residence was ruined.

Viscount Liszt was in middle age. Because he had been playing for many years under Earl Sartre, his temper became very rough. However, his appearance was very delicate, his beard and hair were meticulously decorated, just like a pampered and old nobleman.

Because of the large gap between his appearance and personality, people often feel mysterious and think that this person is very scheming.

However, in fact, the reason why he looks delicate is that he married a wife who is good at dressing up. Over the years, Viscount Liszt's appearance was taken care of by his wife himself.

In order to make his wife happy, Viscount Liszt never refused this kind of kindness, but judging from his inner nature, he was still a burning and brisk warrior like a fire.

Seeing that his old friend's place was occupied, Viscount Liszt was furious and wanted to take it in immediately and rush down to kill all the robbers.

It was Eugen who stopped him. Since the bandits who robbed Caterina and others had returned to their nests, he was not going to attack immediately. Instead, he had to observe the situation first and determine the best attack plan.

Chasing war and positional warfare are two completely different situations. In order to ensure that there is no accident, Eugen decided to act carefully.

Viscount Liste was very dissatisfied with this, but he did not dare to disobey Eugen's orders openly, so he cooperated with Eugen and briefly introduced the situation in the manor below.

Viscount Liszt's introduction alone was not enough. Eugen also specially sent a soldier to hide his whereabouts, quietly leaned over to investigate the truth, and then began to formulate a combat plan.

"It's winter now, and it's been heavy snow recently. Judging from the recent wind direction, there must be a lot of snow on the north side of the valley, which may even reach several meters deep. Once the light cavalry rushed in, they will easily be trapped and unable to move, so you must bypass the north side and charge."

"According to Viscount Liszt's introduction, the main mountain road entering the valley is in the southwest, and there are two small entrances and exits, both east and south. Even if the robbers are stupid, they will know that a large number of people are arranged on the main mountain road, so there will be a very dangerous attack from here."

"So what we have to do is to pretend to attack on the main mountain road in the southwest to attract the attention of those robbers, and then formally attack and rush in from the entrance to the east, kill the robbers, look for the earl's children, and find them to rush out from the mountain road in the south."

"The sun shines more on the southern mountain road, and probably not too much snow, which will help you leave more. Remember, don't fight, there are far more enemies than us, and once you are besieged, it will be a desperate situation. This time our only task is to rescue the Count's children!"
