The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Of course, things will not be decided just because of Bacht's words. Democracy prevails in the Republic of Poland and likes to use voting to solve problems. This is no exception in this refugee camp. After hearing Bachter's decision to go to Werner, everyone in the camp picked up a small stone or branch as a "vote" and walked to Bacht's side.

Those who agreed with Bacht to go to Werner with the mercenary group threw the stone or branch to the left of Bacht, while those who disagreed threw the "ballot" in his hand to the right. Everyone, whether civilian or noble, has one vote.

In a short while, two hills piled up in front of Bacht. A priest and a noble-looking elderly man with long beards stepped forward to unify the "ballots" on the ground one by one. "Ten votes" and "twenty votes", shouts one after another.

In the final statistics, there were 758 votes in agreement with Bacht, and 415 votes in disapproval. If according to the standards of the Parliament of the Republic of Poland, even if there is only one objection, this vote will be invalid and people will have to conduct a second round of re-election. Fortunately, such bad election methods were not used in this refugee camp.

Although those who agreed with Bashit accounted for the majority, the proposal was passed. But Bacht's face was not happy, because he found that there were at least two hundred and ten people who neither agreed nor opposed.

Bashit stood on the rock again, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his kind complexion disappeared.

"There are more than two hundred people who neither voted for nor opposed. I hope that some of these people can stand up and tell me what you think." Bashit shouted to the crowd.

Some people bowed their heads, afraid to look at Bacht's eyes. Bashit swept his eyes across their faces, trying to find out who was the main messenger.

"You don't need to watch it, I told them not to vote."

At this time, Tepes pushed away the two people in front of him and walked out of the crowd.

Originally, Tepesh regretted joining the Chechen side and sneaked into the crowd because he was afraid of Colonel Jerzy Khaletski’s revenge on Chechen, but now he has abstained from Bakshit’s motion to take people to Werner. Cheerchen really didn't understand what Tepesh was thinking.

"Chief Tepesh, what do you think?" Bachter asked with a temper. Today's Tepes is against himself everywhere, even if Bashit's temperament is good, he is a little angry.

"I didn't think much." Tepes said slyly: "My brothers and I choose not to go anywhere."

"Why is this?" The priest-like man next to Bacht was a little surprised.

"You don't have to worry about it, of course I have my reason to do this." Tepesh said, touching his mustache.

"But what good is this for you? The so-called firewood gathering is high, now is the time for us all to unite!" The priest still refused to give up, still wanting to persuade Cepesh to change his mind.

"That's our own business, don't bother you to worry about it." Tepes became a little impatient.

"Father Varowski, don't bother to speak. Since Tepesh doesn't want to go with us, let's not force it." Bachter patted the priest on the shoulder and said.

Father Varowski wanted to say more a few times, but in the end he stopped talking.

"Then Tepes, are you not willing to play for Prince Vianus?"

Seeing that Basit and Tepes have parted ways, Chechen asked Tepes.

It was not that Chechen had any good feelings and dissatisfaction with Tepesh, but because there were so many people along the way, and he had to deal with the pursuit of Colonel Jerzy Halecki, one more person would give him more strength.

"I am willing to serve His Royal Highness at any time. But now, I feel that staying here will be of greater help to His Royal Highness's cause than going to Werner. Please also Chief Chelchen to sue His Royal Highness on my behalf, if His Royal Highness can't If you forgive me, I will go to Werner to personally ask for forgiveness from His Royal Highness Prince Yanush." ​​Tepes said loudly, saying that he was doing it for the Prince.

Cheerchen didn't bother to refute the meaningless and beautiful words of Tepesh. He turned around and said to Bacht, "Chief Bacht, then without further ado, I will also go back to the manor to prepare. How about we meet again in the manor tomorrow?"

"Of course you can. Please also Chief Chechen to collect as much food as possible. There is not much food in our camp, otherwise we won't risk looting the manor." Bashit made his request.

Cheerchen immediately agreed.

The two separated. On the way back, Cheerchen told Barty what happened at the time. The latter stayed in the straw shed, although he could hear the outside sound, but he couldn't hear it really well, and he didn't know what happened.

"The leader of Tepes is really a smart man." Batty commented to Tepes after listening to Chechen's narration.

"How do you say this?" Cheerchen became interested when Barty said that Cepesh was a smart person. So far ~www.readwn.com~ Cheechen has only seen Tepesh's snake and mouse at both ends of the reconciliation, and he can't see his "smart" side no matter how you look at it.

"Maybe I think too much. Commander Chechen, you think, our way will definitely be hunted down by Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky. If Tepes goes to Werner with us, then it will be indispensable. There will be losses."

"But if he stays here, isn't he afraid that Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky will send someone to encircle him?" Cheerchen asked in a strange rhetoric when he heard half of it.

"If you keep him, I will definitely not stay here. I have met with the leader of Tepesh a few times. He is very shrewd. I think it is most likely that he will drive away from us and go to Werner. If there is a chase on the road Soldier, he can also escape by our obstacles; or seeing that we are at a disadvantage, the leader of Tepesh led a counterattack on us in exchange for the colonel’s forgiveness. Of course these are my guesses. "Barty analyzed.

"I'll go back and kill him now." After listening to Batty's analysis, Tepesh would insert a knife in the back of the mercenary group, and Fatima couldn't help it, ready to get rid of this possible scourge now.

Seeing that Fatima was so impatient, Cheerchen quickly grabbed her. As Barty said, these are just his guesses, and it is not yet known whether the facts are really so. Now, no matter whether it succeeds or not, killing Tepesh will arouse conflicts, and even force them to do it early, which is not worth the gain.

"The only thing we can do now is to go back and prepare, so that no one can take advantage of it." Cheerchen said to Fatima.

Seeing Cheerchen's insistence, Fatima had to give up. Cheechen let go of Fatima's hand, and his eyes happened to see a mantis with a caterpillar in its beak on a big tree.

I don't know if it is an illusion, Cheerchen feels like that poor caterpillar.
