Half a novel passed, Eugen basically introduced the general situation of the battle. At the same time, he also emphasized that he was just lucky, and the opponent's coach underestimated the enemy's strong attack, but he took the opportunity to take it down.

The prince just smiled and replied: "Haha, luck is also part of your strength. Besides, being able to defeat powerful heavy cavalry by relying on that little force is also a reflection of your ability."

While the two were talking, Eugen also learned something from the prince that he had not learned about it.

It turned out that this battle seemed to be small, but the impact it caused later was really quite large. Especially for the entire Holy Roman Empire, it was of far-reaching significance.

First of all, this is not a formal declaration of war, but a tentative attack by the French Empire.

The French Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have been in a long history. Over the years, the two sides have been constantly in conflict, and various verbal confrontations have never stopped.

However, both sides were afraid of the other party's strength, so they maintained a certain degree of restraint while confronting each other. The bottom line of restraint is that neither side sent troops to attack the other party.

The war is not a joke. The French Empire also needs to consider many factors. It cannot be said that it will be called directly when the mind is hot.

This frontal attack was obviously the result of the French Empire's trade-offs.

In recent years, the French Empire has been prosperous, with several important grain-producing areas successively achieving great harvests and cities intensive trade. At the same time, they also achieved major victories in the war with the Kingdom of England and received a huge amount of war ransom.

Therefore, the current French Empire can be said to be rich in the country and strong in the people, and the strength is expanding.

On the other hand, the Holy Roman Empire was full of internal and external troubles. With the weakening of the royal power, the kingdoms in the country were constantly in conflict with each other, which was the disaster caused by the king's lack of a son. At the same time, Prince Eugen, who is the pillar of the empire, has been plagued by illness in recent years, and his physical condition has deteriorated and he has been unable to lead his troops to fight.

Between the rise and fall, the French Empire began to have some ideas. After a debate in the palace, Marshal Lausch Tyrande sent an elite army with a complete range of troops to attack the Holy Roman Empire.

Because it was a tentative attack, the number of troops sent was not large this time, and the one who led the army was also the last-ranked Laurch Tyrande among the four generals of the French Empire.

Moreover, while attacking, the French Empire's army also deliberately avoided several major priests and kingdom cities in the Holy Roman Empire. Their troops pointed directly at Vienna, with the purpose of testing the power of the kingdom rulers.

To put it bluntly, it is to test whether the Habsburg family's abilities are still strong enough.

It was naturally impossible for King Charles VI to let the French army come to the door of his house like this. He ordered the Duchy Kingdom along the way to send troops to intercept it. The so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Holy Roman Empire promotes the whole country, it will be very terrible.

However, the dukes and marquis who controlled one land had ambiguous attitudes and sent troops for various reasons. As a result, the French Empire's army had been traveling from the Rhine to the Fort Cassel, and had never encountered any decent blockades.

These dukes and marquis also had the intention of testing the Habsburg family. If the Habsburg family could not even solve this little French soldiers, their rule would really not be able to be maintained.

Finally, after many trade-offs, the king and prince decided to send Eugen to the front line and ordered him to block the French army.

Due to the hasty preparation, Eugen's soldiers were basically pieced together at zero hour. The French Empire's army advanced rapidly and had no time to mobilize elite troops for him.

As for why it is Eugen, one is because he is a Habsburg with pure blood, and the other is because his name happens to be similar to the famous Prince Eugen. If he can defeat it, the empire can make a big announcement that Prince Eugen has a successor and that the pillar of the empire is standing.

Even if Eugen fails, it is not bad for the royal family. Eugen and Princess Maria's engagement contract has always made the king very regretful. If Eugen fails and is captured or killed simply, he will naturally have no possibility of marrying the princess.

At that time, the princess will be free. The royal family can also marry the princess to the French Empire and sign a century-long friendly contract. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?

This is the plan of the empire. Eugen is just a chess piece, played with and applauding.

Originally, Eugen had almost no chance of breaking out of this circle. This was his fate and he had no right to decide for himself.

However, due to a small accident, the original Eugen died, and the soul named Wang Shaoyu became the new Eugen, which made everything different.

First, Eugen defeated the French Empire's army in an absolutely counter-trend situation. He even captured the French Empire's marshal, giving them the bargaining chips to negotiate with the French Empire.

Then Eugen met with the prince and passed a test of the prince, which made the prince appreciate him.

With these two points, he finally successfully escaped his original fate and embarked on another, brighter and brighter road.

After this conversation, the prince also had a general understanding of Eugen's ability. He really began to appreciate this slightly young man, and he also felt a loving heart in his heart.

"Haha, Eugen, your thoughts really make me look at you with admiration. It's so terrifying to me." After saying this, the prince's face showed a meditative expression, and after a moment he spoke as if he had decided something, "Tomorrow, His Majesty the King will grant you the title of Earl and hand over a large tract of land in the Ljubljana region of the southern empire to you as your fief."

After saying that, the prince looked at Eugen with a bright look and said, "Haha, the king believes that you will become the pillar of the empire in the future. Don't let this expectation down."

"Bo, Count." Hearing this title, Eugen widened his eyes in surprise. He never thought that he would be awarded such a high title, and he was also a powerful Count with a fief. This is too exaggerated.

You should know that as an earl, he can already establish a real kingdom with an extremely noble identity.

Seeing his surprised expression, the prince joked, "What, haha, I'm not satisfied. The king wants to grant you a higher title, but unfortunately there is no corresponding land to grant you."

Eugen hurriedly said excitedly, "Satisfied, so satisfied, hehehe." As he said that, he laughed foolishly.
