This banquet was a small Christmas Eve party, with no more than ten people participating in total, all of whom were familiar with Eugen.

It is now in wartime, and it is not appropriate to hold a large banquet, so Maria and the others hosted such a small party.

When Eugen arrived at the banquet venue, Allen and Parma had already arrived, and they were standing at the door of the banquet hall and saying this.

Behind Parma was a clever young man. He looked like he was about the same age as Parma, both in his early twenties, and the relationship between the two was not as stiff as that of ordinary masters and servants.

There was also a person behind Alan, who was the third woman besides Margaret and Maria tonight. She was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a look between a girl and a mature lady. She had an indescribable charm in every move.

Alan's right hand gently placed on the young woman's waist, with a warm smile on her face. The young woman was also very close to Alan, and she saw that the two of them had a close relationship.

Simon has arrived, and he was the first to arrive here, but he did not participate in the conversation between the few people at the door. He just sat alone in the banquet hall, with a bottle of wine from Latu Winery next to him, and was drinking alone with a goblet.

The descendants of this declining nobleman seemed very silent most of the time, standing quietly aside like an old oak tree, looking a little stupid, but also a little wise and foolish.

Perhaps because of his age, he rarely participated in Eugen and his conversations, nor did he marry, and he always seemed a little out of place at the banquet.

When Maria invited him, she thought for a while. Simon was qualified to participate in his identity, but Maria always felt that inviting him to participate would make the atmosphere a little gloomy.

In the end, Margaret made a decision and made a basic invitation letter in person. After all, this banquet was not all fun. Some wars and other matters would also be discussed during the banquet. As the commander of the strongest legion in Leber City, Simon must be invited.

The few people chatting at the door noticed Eugen's arrival and walked up to greet him.

Allen walked in the front and smiled halfway through the way, saying, "Haha, Lord Eugen, this victory is really great. It can be written into history and regarded as a classic battle example."

"Oh, hehe, I've been too liked, I've been too liked, it's just a small victory, the battle is not over yet." Eugen smiled embarrassedly. The victory during the day today was a bit lucky, and Eugen was embarrassed to boast.

Hearing Eugen's words, Alan's face was a little strange. He turned around and looked at Palma, then turned around and asked in confusion: "What? Lord Eugen, don't you know about Tarik's army?"

"Hmm?" Eugen looked at Allen with a confused look on his face and asked in confusion: "What's going on? I've been sleeping for a day and just woke up. What happened to Tarik's army."

"Oh, no wonder." Allen responded, without leaving any hesitation, and said directly: "Haha, that's right. After the war during the day, the Saxon soldiers retreated about ten kilometers and stopped at the outermost periphery of Lebour City. According to our spies, the army is now in chaos. Without the commander, a group of captains make a big fuss in the barracks, which is like a wave of bandits."

Parma beside Allen continued: "Based on this situation, we speculate that the Tarik army will not be able to attack us in a short period of time. Judging from the meaning, it should be to prepare to surround the city for a long time, and they will only take further action when the new commander arrives."

Hearing this, Eugen also smiled on his face. What Lebar City lacks the most is time. It is indeed great news for them to stop the attack.

Just when talking about this topic, Eugen thought of Corleon who betrayed him. He asked himself that he had never treated Corleon badly, and he really couldn't understand why Corleon betrayed him.

The two people who set out with Eugen were trapped in the Black Death disaster area and did not know how to live or die. Corion betrayed and defected to his enemy. When he thought of this, Eugen felt depressed and his expression became lowered.

When Palma was a hotel waiter, he developed a pair of eyes that were observing his expressions. When he saw Eugen's depression, he immediately figured out the key point and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. There is another news. After the Tarik soldiers retreated, we resumed information exchanges with the outside world and learned that the current domestic situation has also undergone some new changes."

"Hmm? What changes." Eugen suddenly became interested and turned his attention to Parma.

However, Margaret, who stood up next to Eugen, only heard Margaret say, "That's right, my father sent the letter from Vienna. He mentioned some rumors recently that the Hohenzollern family seemed to be doing some actions after Christmas, but there was no detailed explanation."

"Hohenzollern family..." Eugen murmured. This is a giant, far from comparable to Tarik DC. Even if Eugen equipped all the 1,200 soldiers in his city with new muskets, it was nothing to Hohenzollern, and it could only be said to be a small trouble.

Before Margaret finished speaking, she paused for a moment, turned her eyes on Eugen, and then continued: "There is another news about the medical competition hosted by Eugen."

The Medical Arts Competition is an important part of Eugen's campaign against the Black Death. When he heard something went wrong with this, Eugen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the Medical Arts Competition? It's just an ordinary academic exchange meeting, what problems can arise."

Margaret shook his head, sighed lightly, and then said: "Oh, there is no problem with the medical competition itself. It's just that because of this event, doctors from many surrounding countries have been attracted to our country. But after the winter, people are sick everywhere, and many people are killed by some common minor illnesses because they cannot get treatment from doctors..."

Speaking of this, Margaret's expression was a bit strange. She looked at the expression on Eugen's face and continued, "So there are rumors that you held a medical competition to weaken the power of other countries. Many people attribute the reasons for the death to you. If this statement continues for a long time, it may be detrimental to you."

Eugen is almost crying now. What's the point? He has kindly held a medical competition, but it can still lead to such rumors. This is really a bad reward for kindness.
