The Rise of the European Emperor

At this time, Petrarch's cronie Danilo hurried in and said:

"Company Captain, hurry up! If you don't withdraw sooner, you may be hunted down!"

"Chase and kill? Aren't we working for the legion commander?" The deputy company captain Hagazar was a little puzzled.

When Petrarch, who was vomiting blood, heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately swallowed a large mouthful of blood, stood up straight, and then suddenly swung the knife and wiped it towards Hagaza's neck...

Then, he slapped Danilo in the face with a backhand:

"You idiot, didn't you see Hagatha there?"

Hagaza was tricked by Petrarch to act together, not their group. Fortunately, the soldiers present were considered Petrarch's cronies. It is not surprising that Petrarch killed Haghaza.

Danilo, who covered his face, said anxiously:

"It's too late, no matter how late, the chasing troops are coming, please retreat as soon as possible!"

"But I haven't asked the secret yet..." Boss Petrarch was reluctant.

"Then take the one who knows the secret and go away!"

"They're all dead..."

Danilo was stunned and said speechlessly:

"Then bring a fertilizer sample and let the duke's scholars identify it..."

"Alright!"

Then, Petrarch had people take away more than a dozen small cloth bags, which were filled with fertilizer samples.

After loading the samples, Petrarch hurried off with 50 cronies...

It's just that Petrarch didn't know that there was actually another person in this fertilizer farm who knew a little more. That's a coolie dol carrying dung.

He used to work in the excrement collection center not far from here (the excrement is too smelly, and the excrement processing center is usually built in a remote downwind. After the excrement is dried and deodorized, it is sent to the fertilizer processing plant for mixing and distribution) , I came here today to visit my brother who is a mixer. It's just that when a group of people was arrested just now, Dole hid in the corner, and the workers didn't know him, so they didn't tell him. If he gets caught, the dung block's secret will be revealed.

can only say,

Petrarch was out of luck. However, he really didn't have time. Because, if he leaves a little later, he will not be able to leave...

...

No, not long after Petrarch and his party left, 200 cavalry came from the city of Schleswig in the east...

After seeing the corpse of the deputy company captain Hagaza, the abandoned squad leaders knew that they and others had been used. Therefore, when the cavalry sent by Steindorf arrived, they immediately chose to surrender and confessed to Petrarch.

After learning the truth, the cavalry team immediately sent people back to the city to report the situation to Steindorf...

"What? How dare this bastard Petrarch covet the secret of fertilizer?" Steindorf was taken aback. You know, this is Marin's taboo, and he doesn't dare to inquire about it casually.

"Then did he ask about the secret?" Steindorf asked nervously.

"No, I heard that the front and deputy field directors who knew about it are all dead. Petrarch was helpless and only took a batch of samples, which should have been handed over to his master behind the scenes for identification." The cavalry who reported the letter replied.

"Bastard, chase after me, don't let the secret of fertilizer leak out!"

"They are all one man and two horses, and it is difficult to catch up. Commander, we are heavy cavalry, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up..."

"Then send scout cavalry... No, it seems that the Cossack cavalry regiment came to the vicinity of Schleswig yesterday... Go and invite the commander of the Alsace regiment over here!"

The Cossack cavalry regiments were all light cavalry, and each had two or even three horses. If they go after them, they can definitely catch up. After all, the horses the people of Petrak rode were not professional war horses, but pack horses used by the army to travel. Even if one person has two horses, they cannot outrun the Eastern European Mongolian horses of professional Cossack cavalry. In terms of long-distance travel, Eastern European Mongolian horses are very good at it.

"I don't know them, how can I chase them?" The commander of the Alsace Army was a little confused when he learned that Steindorf asked him to chase people.

"It's alright, you can send someone to chase. If you encounter one person and two horses escaping southward, they will all catch up and take it down. If you encounter someone who is carrying a pocket with an unknown gray-black mud-like object in it, return it all, or kill it directly. Okay!" said Steindorf.

Arthas knew that the Second and Third Legions were pretending to rebel because he had received secret orders. Therefore, there was no objection to Steindorf's request, and two Cossack cavalry regiments were dispatched directly, divided into several teams, and went south to hunt down Petrarch and others...

And Steindorf also immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to Marin...

"What? The fertilizer was taken from the fertilizer field?" Marin was shocked, and immediately summoned Schwartz, Kohler and others to discuss the matter.

When Kohler saw the secret letter, he was shocked and stood up and said:

"Lord, we made a big mistake!"

"What's wrong?" Marin was stunned.

"Once the allied forces of the princes go north, they will definitely go straight to the fertilizer field, and we forgot to transfer the people in the fertilizer field, especially those who know the secret!"

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Marin patted his head angrily. If it hadn't happened, he would have almost forgotten about it.

After reacting, Marin immediately instructed Kohler:

"Hurry up and send someone to transfer all the people who know the secret in the fertilizer field away, so as not to fall into the hands of the allied forces of the princes! Take all the fertilizer away!"

Kohler was stunned and said:

"It's not right, if the other party can't find the fertilizer, they will know that we are digging a hole for them. If it spreads out, the princes will react..."

"what do you mean?"

"How about some fake fertilizer?" Kohler suggested.

"Fake fertilizer? What to use as fake fertilizer?" Marin hesitated.

"What about volcanic ash? Didn't you use volcanic ash as cement?" Kohler suggested.

"Volcanic ash? That's real fertilizer..." Marin said speechlessly.

"Real fertilizer?" Kohler was also stunned.

"Well, the 'Golden Basin' in Sicily, Italy, relies on volcanic ash and fertile soil. Tell them the volcanic ash, isn't it giving them a benefit?" Marin said reluctantly.

"Then the volcanic ash fertilizer is as efficient as our compound fertilizer?" Kohler asked.

"Of course it's far less! Volcanic ash is at the level of farmyard manure at best, and there is less volcanic ash, so it's more in Italy... Huh... It seems to work..."

Marin suddenly remembered that it seemed that there was not much volcanic ash. Also, not all volcanic ash can be used as fertilizer. Because some volcanic ash contains toxic components, it is easy to damage crops.

Therefore, even if others know that volcanic ash is fertilizer, it is useless. First, there is less volcanic ash, only a little more in Italy.

Second, even if you find volcanic ash, it is not necessarily volcanic ash that can be used as fertilizer. The ancients did not understand chemistry, so they might have spread poisonous volcanic ash into the fields. Then, when the crops are finished, there is no food... Well, it happens that Marin has food in his hands, and he can sell it at a high price...

Moreover, while revealing the secrets of the volcanic ash, it can also lead people to pay attention to Italy and set off a new round of Italian hegemony war...

"Hey...that's a good idea! Kohler, go get some volcanic ash and put it in the fertilizer processing plant. Then, deliberately arrange for the spies to be caught and tell them the secret of the volcanic ash. There is an example of the 'Golden Basin' in Sicily, Spain. First, don't believe they don't believe it!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to get fake fertilizer..."
