The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

"Everyone, we can't go to Sweden for the time being."

In a small wood outside the town of Vidava, Pidro said to the officers of the mercenary regiment who had been called back.

At this time, the officers of the mercenary regiments such as Yelisei, Semeniao, Oksana, Varvara, Sarben were all present, while Viscount Hessian and Mamai were not among them. Spasokukotski The priest was also not present.

However, no one expressed any doubts about this. Because certain officers were unable to attend the meeting because of his business, this was not unusual.

When Yelishei, Ingrid and others heard Pedro say so, they all looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions.

They had already assembled their troops and horses outside the town of Vidawa, and set off immediately after Pidro finished the banquet. But now, Pidro said that he could not leave for the time being.

"What's going on? Deputy head Pedro, and deputy head Bacht." Yelisei asked on behalf of everyone.

Bashit, who was standing next to Piedro, heard Yelishei's question, and he stood up.

"It's all on me, all on me." Basit said guiltily: "I killed Hrubeni and Chabrins."

Ingrid exclaimed "Ah".

"It's the mayor Hrubeni and Bok Chabrins, the owner of the Chabrins estate?"

"Yes, it's them. These guys are frantic. They want to wait for you to take the piece of bread left to us by the group leader and turn us into serfs. I know I can't be angry, so they just take everything in front of me. The human face killed them. I thought..."

Bacht was going to continue talking, but Pidro interrupted him at this moment.

"Everyone, although Hrubeni and Chabrins were at fault in this matter, Bashit killed nobles in spite of the law, and he was still in the public. I think a judge will send someone there soon. Arrest him, and apart from the gallows, there will be nothing waiting for him."

Everyone could not help but feel a little sad and sympathetic.

As the deputy commander of the mercenary regiment, Basit has rarely participated in the battle since the Battle of Warsaw, but he took the refugees to open up wasteland and build new canals in Vidava, and contributed to the development of Vidava. It's obvious to all. Moreover, Bashit is sincere and honest, and he is good at fighting injustices for the poor. This excellent character also makes everyone feel good about him.

"Deputy Captain Pidro, let's take Deputy Captain Bacht to Sweden. You can't leave him in Vidawa." Sarben wanted Pidro to plead.

"Yes, go to Sweden."

"This is the best way."

"I agree."

Sarben's proposal was endorsed by many mercenary regiment officers.

But Bacht himself disagreed.

He said: "Everyone, thank you for your kindness. But I can't go. Once I go, it will be absconding in fear of sin. Those shameless nobles and officials can justifiably confiscated the land left to me by the commander."

When he said this, Bashit showed a saint-like expression.

Obviously, when he killed Hrubeni and Chabrins, Bashit had already put his life and death out of his mind.

Yelisei and others turned their eyes to Pedro again. Smart people like Oksana would expect that since Pidro brought Bacht, he would definitely not watch him die.

Sure enough, Pidro said: "Everyone, for the present plan, there is only one way to save Bacht's life."

"What way!" everyone asked in unison.

"Go to Warsaw and ask the king." Piedro said.

Yelishei heard Pidro's words, and his hope full of hope was like a deflated balloon.

"It's useless, no." Yelishei shook his head and said: "The commander has now lost the favor of Jan Kazimierz. The king will not help Bashit."

And others have the same view.

Pidro was pleased with the distrust and disgust that everyone showed towards King Jan Kazimierz, because as long as everyone had such an idea, it would be much easier for him to persuade everyone.

"Everyone!" Pidro raised his voice, "I said to beg, not really kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, but using this to beg."

With that, Pidro patted the saber on his waist.

The soldiers remonstrated and used force to coerce the king into accepting his request-Pidro's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Bashit also didn't expect that Piedro, who was not very good at dealing with him, would say something like this in order to save himself. He was both moved and excited, but opened his mouth several times without knowing what to say.

For a while, there was silence in the grove. Only the "rustle" of snow falling on the tree canopy.

Even Yelishei, who was the loudest called just now, didn't speak-it was really because Pidro's suggestion was too bold.

After a while, Yelishei spoke.

"I think, shall we send someone to Sweden to ask the head of the delegation?"

Undoubtedly, Yelishei believes that such an important decision is due to Chechen, although this might disregard Pidro's authority as the deputy commander.

As for Yelishei's words, Pidro could have refrained from saying that "I gave me the full power of the mercenary group when Chechenlin left", but he did not do so.

Because Pidro knew that there were not a few people in the mercenary group who had the same ideas as Yelisei. If they refuse with strong means, they will inevitably be convinced. And what he needs to do next is that everyone in the mercenary group must devote all their efforts.

"Yelsey's suggestion is of course good." Pidro first affirmed Yelishei's words, and then began to deny it:

"But Cheerchen is now in Sweden. It's not a month or two for us to send people this time. This time is enough for the corrupt officials to arrest Bacht ten times. Could it be that we Just stay at Vidawa and let them take Bashit for trial and sit there waiting for death? Or are they fighting the law by force, waiting for the king's army to encircle us?"

Pidro's words left Yelishei speechless.

After refuting Yelishei, Pidro said again: "Everyone, there is a saying that Renshan is deceived and Mashan is ridden by others. My nephew, why does your group leader often fail to get promotion and what he should do? The reward was not because he was too talkative and too kind. So the king didn’t take him seriously; look at Christopher Oborlinsky and Anjay Carol Goodzlin. Ski, and Boguslav Laziviu, which one of them has not betrayed the Republic, but in the end? Each of them was forgiven by King Jan Kazimierz."

The realistic example that Pidro gave everyone could not help but nod in their hearts. Yes, the king can forgive even the traitors, but he severely reprimanded Cheerchen for his small mistakes, and let him think behind closed doors. This is not because Cheerchen is too kind and never asks much.

Just when everyone tacitly agreed with Piedro's saying that "the crying child has milk", Marmite and Viscount Hessian together led a few people into the woods.

"Deputy Captain Pidro," Mama said: "Now the community in Vidawa Town is very exciting, and the people who are cultivating under the command of Deputy Captain Bashit are clamoring to go to Warsaw to redress their grievances, and we can't stop them."

After speaking, Ma Mai pointed to a hunched old farmer behind him, "These are their representatives."

Bachter recognized the old man. Seven or eight years ago, Bashit also hosted a wedding for his children. At that time, Cheerchen and the others had just returned from Crimea.

The old farmer walked up to Bacht, he fell on his knees, and took Bacht's hand with his scrawny hands and kissed him on his lips.

"Bashit, you have been protecting us, now it is time for us to protect you." The old farmer said.

Bachter burst into tears.

The old farmer and several other representatives walked in front of Yelisei and others. They also knelt to the ground, and then begged: "Save Bacht, save Bacht."

Everyone was moved.

As a result, armed travel to Warsaw to ask for forgiveness for Bahit became the unanimous goal of everyone.

The soldiers of the mercenary regiment returned to the town. The roads that were guarded by the Viscount Hessian and the Cossacks of Marmitz were reopened. Those unrelated people were driven out of the town. They were told that the mercenary regiment would go to Warsaw. Plead for Basit. And all the nobles and people with a sense of justice can support and support their just move.

At night, from the iron workshops one after another, clusters of thick black smoke emerged from its chimneys, and bright light was emitted from the open workshop doors and the numerous holes in the cow’s bladder in the windows. . The young, middle-aged and middle-aged men stood in small groups. The hammers in the workshop were beating rhythmically, and the clanging sound of iron was spreading all around.

Everyone holds a long pole in their hands, some have a scythe installed on them, and some have spearheads on them. The busy blacksmiths in the workshop are rushing to forge these scythes and spearheads-these are the weapons of such militiamen.

The manor was temporarily converted into a headquarters. Pidro and the officers planned a route to Warsaw. Yelishei and others put forward many suggestions, but they were rejected by Pidro for various reasons. In the end, the route he chose was the meeting route agreed upon with Marshal Lubao Macki.

When Pidro asked if Ingrid's food and gunpowder were enough, Father Spasokukotsky broke in.

The priest looked worried, such a worried expression appeared on the face of Father Spasokukotsky, which Pidro and everyone had never seen before.

The reason why Father Spasokukotsky was so panicked was precisely because he knew that all the mercenaries would go to Warsaw with arms to seek "justice" for Bashit.

Does Spasokukotsky have no sympathy for Bashit? Of course he sympathizes, but Spasokukotsky disagrees with the mercenary regiment going to Warsaw.

Father Spasokukotsky knew that after the reformists headed by the king and queen exiled Lvbao Macki and subdued the conservative school, the king's power had grown to the strongest in history, and the mercenary group alone, It is absolutely impossible for the king to succumb; besides, Cheerchen's wife Natalie is in Warsaw, but if King Jan Kazimierz asks Natalie to conquer the mercenary group, can we face her with swords?

At that time, the prestigious mercenary group Cheerchen had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.

Moreover, Father Spasokkotsky also has a patriotic patriotism in his heart that influences him and does not want the mercenary group to meet with the king's swordsman.

"Father, why are you here?" Yelisei, who was standing closest to Father Spasokukotsky, greeted.

But Father Spasokukotsky, who has always been close to Yelisei, pushed Yelisei away at this time. He walked straight to Pidro and asked Pidro: "Pidro Deputy commander, I heard that you are going to take troops to Warsaw?"

"I'm going to ask the king to forgive Bashit. Father, you should know that Deputy Commander Bashit killed Hrubeni and Chabrins out of righteous indignation this morning." Piedro said.

"Of course I know." Father Spasokukotsky said anxiously: "Of course there is something wrong with Khrubeni and Chabrins, but we should not use force to seek pardon from the king, and ..."

"And" Before Father Spasokukotsky could say anything, Pidro cut it off.

"So, the priest, do you think Hrubeni and Pachi should not die, but it should be Captain Bacht who should pay for their lives?" Pidro said out of context.

The priest choked for a while.

He didn't expect that Pidro, who had a hippy smile on his face, would be sharp and sharp now. What he was actually saying was that King Jan Kazimierz could not succumb to the force of the mercenary group. Pidro led the words to whether he sympathized with Hrubeni and Chabrins.

"No, I didn't mean that." The priest argued: "I just think this matter should be handed over to the court for judgment~www.readwn.com~I believe the law will give Bacht a fair judgment."

"The court will only send him to the gallows." Pidro said with perseverance.

If Father Spasokukotsky is anxiously like a fire at this time, then Piedro is a piece of ice, a piece of ice that cannot be melted by any flame.

"Everyone," Spasokukotsky saw that Pidro could not be convinced. He turned to the others, turned to Fedot, Ingrid, and turned to Yelisei, "Everyone, if you believe me, then Please believe in the king and the law again. I will go to Czestochowa to find Father Koldecki to meet with the king. He is highly respected. I believe that if he comes forward, Bashit’s murder case will be justified by the judge. Verdict."

"Father, it's not that we don't believe in you, nor is it that we don't believe in Father Koldecki. It's just that we have been accustomed to seeing the king's words and bullying and fearing hardship for so many years. We really can't believe him." Fedot shook his head.

"Everyone! Are you going to destroy the mercenary group established by Chechen?! The king will not succumb, we will flow in blood!" Father Spasokukotsky said angrily.

"Enough, Father." Pidro interrupted Spasokukotsky.

"If you don't want to be with us, then we are not reluctant. But I hope you don't shake your military spirit here." Piedro said, winking at Viscount Hessian.

The Viscount knows.

He secretly made a summoning gesture to the guard outside the door.

"Father, I'm sorry."

The Viscount and the guard held one of the priest's hands, and then dragged Father Spasokukotsky out of the priest's yelling.

"Everyone, we will win, because God is with us." Piedro said.

"God is with us."
