Maximilian took the royal gold from the robbers and is taking it to the king’s army. There is only one road left from Genoa to Cremona, known to everyone, and along it four carts are carrying one and a half tons of gold. There's a chase behind, an ambush ahead, random people on the team, outposts and a war zone on the way. More and more contenders are joining the race for treasure. A decent person will not steal gold from its rightful owners, but no one, from a robber to a bishop, is tormented by his conscience about re-stealing what was stolen.
