The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Although the victory of the Battle of Polotsk did not change the balance of power between Russia and Poland, nor did it contain the Russian army’s attack on Lithuania, it was achieved by the Republic of Poland since the outbreak of the war and after the fall of Smolensk. First victory. It also greatly inspired the confidence and determination of the Polotsk people to defend their country.

After confirming that the remnants led by Yakov Cherkaski would withdraw from Polotsk and return to Smolensk, the soldiers and civilians of Polotsk held a grand ball in the castle.

All the officers of the mercenary group were invited, but Cheechen and Pidro were the only ones who went in the end. As for the other officers of the mercenary regiment, Fedot politely declined the invitation to the banquet because he was a Russian; the priest was still recovering because of his unhealed injuries; as for Fatima, he was in faith. The reason was that she didn't want to participate; but Ingrid refused inexplicably, only to say that she still had something inconvenient to participate.

For this banquet, Cheerchen and Piedro put on the most gorgeous clothes in their luggage. Cheorchen is wearing a white "color" gown. The pattern on the white "color" fabric of the gown is a tulip embroidered with silver "color" silk thread. On the chest of the gown, Cheorchen also wore a sapphire brooch.

The clothes Pidro wore were much more fancy. His lower body is a pair of yellow bloomers with black "color" stripes; his upper body is a red "color" short coat, and the patterns on the short coat are embroidered with gold thread, as if Otherwise, Pidro's wealth cannot be shown.

Of course, today’s protagonists are still Anjay Kmicicz and Miss Orina Birlevich. These two are the city lord of Polotsk, and the other is the actual commander of the battle of Polotsk (only a few people know Cheerchen's role). When the two entered the restaurant, according to courtesy, they let the guests go first. When Cheerchen and Pidro walked by Anjay's side, Anjay, who had not healed from his injuries, did not say a word to the two of them.

Obviously, this city lord still has prejudices against Cheerchen.

Orina had to smile apologetically at Cheerchen's impolite and petty behavior.

In this way, the flow of people entered the restaurant with the beat of the band.

In the restaurant, a horseshoe-shaped dining table can accommodate two hundred people. The table was filled with gold, silver and glass dishes. The reason why there are tableware of different colors and shapes is really because Polotsk Castle has not served so many guests. Some of these tableware are still trophies seized from the Yakov Cherkaski barracks.

Of course, these slight flaws cannot affect the mood of the people attending the banquet. Everyone’s face is beaming. Wait until everyone has entered the restaurant. Andrzej Kmicicz and Miss Orina Birlevich took seats in the main seat of the restaurant. The relationship between the two has long been known to everyone, and this war has made the two put aside all grievances and prejudices, and they have come together physically and mentally. Now some people call Miss Orina Birlevich Mrs. Kmicicz.

Chechen and Pidro were sitting not far from Andrzej Kmicicz and Orina Birlevich. But he could hear nothing and see nothing. Because there was a girl sitting beside him. Sitting next to Cheerchen was a girl who was about twenty years old, named Elizabeth. This Miss Elizabeth was constantly shaking the head "plugged in" above Cheorchen's head, eagerly begging Cheorchen to talk more about his fight against the Russian army at the bastion.

Elizabeth brought up some hearsay news from time to time and asked Cheor Chen if it was true. And Cheerchen is obviously not suitable for dealing with such a passionate young lady. Whenever Elizabeth asks something, Cheerchen always responds like this: "Yes, my dear lady, it's true!"

Cheerchen is dizzy by a small sparrow, and his uncle Piedro is not much better. Sitting next to Piedro was an old nobleman with the title of earl. The old nobleman seemed to like talking to others, but he spoke slowly and slowly, and he always forgot his words. A simple sentence, the old earl needs at least three minutes to finish. This is a bitter for Pidro, the middle-aged man who is a little ridiculous, needs to endure for three minutes to understand what the other party means.

Cheerchen and Pidro looked at each other pitifully. If possible, my uncle and nephew really want to change positions.

The noise on the dining table is getting louder and louder. At this time, it's time to clink glasses. People's mood is getting higher and higher, and the scene is getting more and more lively. Some optimistic soldiers and nobles even shouted slogans that hit Smolensk.

"The Lord of the City wants to speak."

"The Lord of the City is about to speak."

Someone yelled from the seats at both ends of the table.

All sounds disappeared. Silence enveloped the entire hall. Everyone's eyes turned to Anjay and Orina beside him. People are speculating about what this unruly, self-willed and free city lord will say.

Anjay stood up. Because of the pain, his movements were not as steady as usual. Orina helped him.

"Everyone!" Anjay said, "As this national crisis is at stake, I am very pleased that our nobles in Polotsk can always maintain a sense of patriotism. In the face of powerful enemies, we did not back down, did not cowardly, did not Let His Majesty the King disappointed. With the concerted efforts of all of you, we defeated the brutal army led by Yakov Cherkaski and drove him out of the country. As the lord of Polotsk, I respect Everyone has a drink."

After speaking, Andrzej Kmicicz drank the red wine in his glass to the full.

Everyone's originally hanging hearts finally let go. Fortunately, the city lord still knew the proper measure and didn't say anything deviant at such an important banquet.

Cheerchen also let go of his heart. This greeting from Anjay is obviously Miss Orina's masterpiece. It seems that in love can really change a person. Even people like Andrzej have put away their wanton and reckless behavior.

Like everyone else, Cheerchen also raised his glass and drank a full glass of wine. Since coming to the Republic of Poland, Chechen feels that what he has improved the most is his drinking capacity.

Some people, in accordance with the habits of the nobles, slammed their wine glasses on their foreheads. Those who use glass wine glasses are okay, but those who use gold and silver wine glasses suffer from the seedlings. The wine glasses are not broken, but their foreheads are red.

The next step is to toast each other.

Orina Birlevich walked beside Andrzej Kmicicz, and toasted every noble and military officer who came to the banquet around the table. Soon, Anjay walked to Cheerchen and Pidro's side.

"Your Excellency Anjay, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Cheerchen spoke first before Anjay could speak.

"Reach out your hand and don't hit the smiley person. I have spoken like this, you should have nothing to say." Cheerchen thought to himself.

Orina Birlevich also motioned to Andrzej Kmicicz with her eyes.

"I don't like your lord."

Cheer Chen's first words were dumbfounded.

And Miss Elizabeth, who was sitting next to Cheor Chen, of course also heard what Anjay said. She looked at Chechen in surprise, and then at City Lord Anjay. She didn't know what kind of contradiction there was between the City Lord and the boy next to her.

"Because you took away the glory that should have belonged to me. If I wasn't injured, the one who defeated Yakov Cherkaski should be me." Andrey continued. His hand holding the wine glass was too hard, and the wine in the glass couldn't help shaking.

Miss Elizabeth couldn't help but let out an "Ah" when she heard what Anjay said.

The Lord City Lord said so, obviously saying that the boy next to him was the real hero who defeated Yakov Cherkaski.

"The defeat of Yakov Cherkaski is because of God's blessing and Miss Orina Birlevich's proper command. Of course, it is also because of the Lord Anjay's knowledge of people and responsibility." Chechen said calmly.

Anjay nodded, and suddenly, he hugged Cheerchen.

"If I have ever seen someone noble than your Excellency, let me divide the five horses. Orina has told me about your great feats in this battle. As the private army of Prince Yanush, your Excellency could have abandoned the city. Go, no one will say anything about you. But you chose to stay and stick to the most dangerous place; it is precisely because of your strategy that Polotsk can survive, and it is also because of your desperation. , Orina’s "life" can be preserved."

Miss Elizabeth couldn't help but let out "Ah" again.

"City Lord Andrzej, Yakov Cherkaski is our common enemy. You and him are national feuds, and I and him are regarded as family feuds. Your Excellency said that I am the greatest hero in this battle, I I think that the biggest heroes should be you and Miss Orina. It is because of your knowledge and kindness that Miss Orina Birlevich was appointed as the interim commander of Polotsk, which gave us a great victory in the future. ;It is precisely because of Miss Olena Birlevic’s personality charm ~www.readwn.com~ that everyone is united in the tide of resisting the invasion of Tsarist Russia. And I just did what a mercenary should do. Responsibilities." Cheer Chen said further.

"I know, I know. From now on, you are my brother. May you forget the unhappiness between us." Anjay said.

"I never took those to heart." Chechen said.

Anjay let go of her hands holding Cheechen with satisfaction. He drank all the wine in the glass, and Cheor Chen did the same. The two laughed at each other.

"I'm going to have a few drinks with a few Swedish guests, please feel free to please." Anjay said.

After Anjay and Orina left, Elizabeth chirped on Cheerchen again.

"You tell me more about what great things you have done." Elizabeth said cheerfully.

Cheerchen could only repay it with a wry smile. The last frontier of fire and sword
