The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Then Cheer Chen saw a foot in moccasin boots sticking out of the carriage, followed by white trouser legs and yellow cloak.

This is a young girl, probably about Cheerchen's age. The girl is tall and thin, looking very delicate, but the expression on her face is extremely determined-a kind of male-like suggestion.

There was a man standing beside the girl, unable to see the age. Probably between 20 and 50 years old. The man wore an inlaid chain mail and a fur with feathers, which made people know that he was an aristocratic soldier at a glance.

Everyone in the tavern was attracted by the two people who appeared at the door. When the two entered the tavern, everyone voluntarily gave way.

The two did not find a table to sit down, but walked onto the stage where Oksana was dancing just now.

The position of the stage was originally higher than the surroundings. When the two stood together, everyone in the tavern could see them.

"We want to recruit thirty people, brave, able to obey orders, and have fought a war."

It was not the man who was the attendant who spoke, but the girl. Her voice was not loud but very crisp, and everyone in the tavern could hear her clearly.

"How much?" a mercenary asked.

"Two Taylors a week and three veterans." The man replied for the little mistress. In order to increase the feasibility of speaking by himself, the man pulled a table from the side, and then scattered all the small leather bags of Taylor on the table.

Seeing Taylor, who was still rolling on the table, shone charmingly, the eyes of the mercenaries around seemed to light up.

"I, Robert from Germany, would like to serve the young lady!" shouted a mercenary with two pikemen uniform leg guards tied to his legs. While speaking, he plunged his head on the table and held three Taylors in his hands.

More people couldn't bear the temptation of money. They reported their names, which not many people had heard of, and asked to join.

"Hey, Captain Cheorchen. Don't you go and join in the fun? I heard that you were fired by the mercenary group. What is the current leader's name, Piccolo." Oksana used her slender fingers. He slapped a curl on his long hair, and then teased Cheerchen.

"The current team leader is Pidro, my uncle, not Piccolo. But Oksana, your news is very good." Chechen and Spaso Kukotsky have already decided to go to the university. They would not be okay to be a mercenary on the pilgrimage to Guangming Mountain. But Cheerchen was curious how Oksana knew about leaving her job long ago. Calculated according to time, when she left, Oksana should have been away from Werner.

"The gypsies in the world are all one family. As long as there are gypsies, I can get the information I want to know. Next time Chechen teamfight, if you have this aspect, you can come to me, and I will give you a discount. "Oksana smiled mysteriously. Then she threw the ten Taylors into the sky and caught them again. After Xiang Chechen showed a triumphant expression, he left triumphantly.

On the other side, the lady and her servant also selected the mercenaries to hire. Chechen discovered that the mercenaries chosen by the female employer were basically mercenaries using short broadswords and firearms. This configuration is generally used for caravans or valuable travel to prevent thieves.

"It seems that he is also a noble who flees." Cheerchen couldn't help thinking. When they left Warsaw, Chechen and the priest had seen many such nobles. They dragged their families and took their servants and property to the countryside. In order to protect their families and assets from the green forest robbers, they often hired a team of mercenaries to **** them. However, sometimes, mercenaries who are interested in money will change from protectors to predators. In this situation, the only thing employers can do is to pray that the mercenaries will save them a life after they are satisfied with the property.

After hiring enough people, the girl and the attendant were ready to leave. Before leaving, Cheer Chen felt that the girl looked at her side. But when Cheerchen looked back over there, the girl had already left the door of the tavern.

The girl left, but Okcina returned. He sat where he was just sitting, opened his mouth and said to Cheerchen: "I want to go with you."

"What's the matter? We are going to Czestochowa." Chechen said. What does a gypsy do to a Catholic holy place? Father Spasokukotsky also looked at Oksana strangely.

"I'm in trouble. The drunk mercenary called Lev just now is a rascal. When I walked out the door, Lev and his men stared at me with unkind intentions."

Cheerchen finally understood. It turned out that Oksana wanted to ask herself and the priest to protect her.

Cheerchen stretched out a flat hand to Oksana.

"What do you mean?" Oksana asked, her eyes widened. She understood the meaning of this gesture, but she couldn't believe it.

"Protection fee." Cheerchen said with a smile.

"Black eats black!" Oksana thought through gritted teeth.

But the situation was better than others, and Oksana finally handed the ten Taylors to Chechen reluctantly.

"Then go."

After receiving the money, Cheorchen stood up. He and Father Spasokukotsky walked out of the tavern beside Oksana.

At a corner next to the tavern, Cheer Chen really saw the mercenary named Lev with a few people staring at this side. Cheer Chen slightly lifted the robe on his body and made a gesture of showing the pistol around his waist. Lev and his men hesitated to move.

"Go slow, don't let them see that you are nervous." Cheerchen whispered to Oksana.

"I know! I don't need you as a kid to teach me." Oksana was still angry in her voice, she was still angry about money, really a miser.

Chechen and Spasokukotsky got on their horses and took Oksana away with their usual walking speed.

Oksana’s convertible is at the corner of the wall in Vadovac, where gypsies gather. There are more than a dozen households, all of whom live in the convertible.

Oksana came to her open wagon. Her open wagon is small, with three buckets on it besides the necessities of life. She fed a handful of dried beans to the packhorse pulling the cart and was about to leave the city. When the other gypsies saw that Oksana was about to leave, they put aside what they were doing. They made Cheerchen's incomprehensible gestures, as if saying goodbye to Oksana.

"Where are you going now?" Cheerchen asked.

"Of course to go to the next town, we Gypsies are Dandelions, we can survive anywhere." Oksana said. There was pride in that tone.

"But we are going to Czestochowa," Father Spasokukotsky said. Going to the so-called next town is not part of their plan.

"Then I don't care, you have collected my money, of course you have to **** me to a safe place." Oksana took it for granted.

Father Spaso Kukotsky glanced at Cheerchen and asked the head to make up his mind. Cheerchen felt that he hadn't necessarily said Oksana, anyway, there was no rush to go to the Great Guangming Mountain Monastery. Cheerchen decided to send Oksana first.

In this way, the two left soon after entering the town. Along the way, Cheerchen encountered a group of people who were in the same direction as them. Some of them are going to Warsaw. These people who don’t know the truth are mainly nobles. They mistakenly think that Warsaw will be a pure land; and some of them are going to Czestochowa like Cheerchen. Most of them are According to these poor people and little nobles, King Carl X once issued an edict ordering the Swedish army not to enter the Bright Mountain Monastery.

Go to a fork in the road. To the left of this fork leads to Czestochowa, and to the right is to the town where Oksana is going. Here Chechen they met a group of Swedish dragoons. This team of dragoons are wearing red uniforms, slender swords hanging on their waists, carbines on their backs, and wide-brimmed hats. Behind them are several carriages filled with food. It seems that they have just collected supplies from a nearby village. return.

Originally it was just a very common encounter, but this did not lead them to trouble. It turned out that Kraft Hosson, the captain of the Dragoons, was a horse lover. He couldn't help but become greedy when he saw Chechen and Father Spasokukotsky riding on the horses that were extremely handsome.

Kraft Hosson stopped in front of Oksana's convertible.

"Stop!" Kraft Hosson shouted.

Seeing that it was not themselves that caused the trouble, the other pedestrians passing by the open carriage hurriedly speeded up their pace and stayed away from this place of right and wrong.

At this time, the convertible and Cheechen were surrounded by dragoons.

"What's the matter? Your lord." Father Spasokukotsky asked respectfully. Neither he nor Cheerchen wanted to cause trouble.

"You two horses were requisitioned by the Swedish army. But don't worry, we will pay." Kraft Hosson said. All his subordinates laughed maliciously.

"My lord, we are all good people. And His Majesty King Carl X has declared that he and his army will not infringe anyone's property." Chechen said to Kraft Hosson.

In fact, the most effective way to deal with this kind of person is to take out the permit that King Carl X gave him, so that no one would dare to be rude to him. But Cheerchen chose to be reasonable.

Seeing Cheerchen naively mentioning the king's order, Huo Song was amused all of a sudden.

After smiling, Huo Song said to Chechen: "Of course, we will not infringe on your property, we will buy them."

"Are we not selling?" Cheerchen refused.

Seeing Cheerchen speaking so solemnly, Oksana felt like Cheerchen was defeated. How could such a talented person in the military be so inexperienced in terms of human relationships? These dragoons were unclearly trying to grab them, but he still couldn't tell.

"You can't help but sell, otherwise you are fighting against the Swedish army. Then you and your horse will not be protected by the king's order." Hosson said.

This is the so-called paradox. If a person chooses to give money to the Swedes, then he will receive worthless military tickets or white bars; and if he chooses not to cooperate, then he is the enemy of the Swedish army, and the army can take everything from him for free.

Cheer Chen wanted to understand this paradox. He was thoroughly enraged by this robber's behavior.

Seeing Cheerchen looking furious and trying to fight Huo Song, the dragoons around were also a little nervous, and they drew the long swords from their waists one after another.

"Chechen, don't be impulsive. We have'that' thing."

At a critical time, Father Spasokukotsky reminded Chechen. Cheerchen has a pass given by Karl X. Cheerchen has never used it before. Father Spasokukotsky also approves of such a move because he does not want to be favored by Karl X, but now he has to use it. The time has come.

After being reminded by Father Spaso Kukotsky, Cheerchen also remembered the pass. He hurriedly reached into his pocket.

Just as Tetsuchen was about to take out his pass, there was a sound of wheels and horseshoes. The gazes of him and the dragoon were attracted to the past.

Cheerchen had seen this carriage, the girl who came to the tavern to recruit mercenaries and her attendants. The attendant rode on a high-headed horse, followed by the mercenaries they recruited, there were seventy or eighty people. Apparently they were recruiting more than just a tavern.

Cheerchen didn't see the girl, obviously she should be in the carriage.

Seeing such a large group of people in groups, Huo Song was obviously panicked. Then, he had an angry expression again.

Huo Song's anger is also justified. Because according to the order of General Arvid Wedenberg, no Polish nobleman was allowed to recruit so many mercenaries to sway the market.

He temporarily put aside Cheerchen's affairs.

"You two, I used to ask the people in the carriage why they disobeyed General Arvid Widenberg's orders ~www.readwn.com~ if they wanted to rebel." Kraft Hosson said to the two dragoons.

Cheerchen saw two dragoons walking towards the carriage. Then they talked to the man, and a dragoon even marched towards the door of the carriage.

The sudden situation happened at this moment. Two mercenaries with halberds used the side of the halberd with the axe hook to hook the dragoon off the horse, and the dragoon who was talking to the riding man slammed up, then swayed twice and fell to the ground. To the ground.

Now, no matter how stupid people are, they know that this group of people has no good intentions for the Swedish military.

Although Kraft Hosson was greedy, he also showed the extraordinary military qualities of a Swedish soldier at this time. He commanded the remaining ten dragoons to dismount, use their horses as a shelter, and then use the carbines to fight back.

And Father Spasokukotsky took Chechen and Oksana together and hid under the open carriage. Father Spasokukotsky also took advantage of the situation and stuffed a stone under the wheel of the carriage.

The exchange of fire lasted only one round. Cheerchen, lying under the convertible, saw a horse leaping into the Swedish dragoon, and then two screams. Then Cheerchen saw two red figures falling to the ground.

During this period, the packhorse pulling the wagon was stunned by all four hooves, but the wagon did not move due to the stone that the priest had placed on the wheels.

More and more people rushed into the battle group, Cheer Chen saw all kinds of shoes and boots stepping on messy footsteps.

"what!"

Cheerchen heard a cry of pain, it was Kraft Hosson's voice.

"who are you?"

Then Cheerchen heard the painful and angry voice of Kraft Hosson.

"My name is Natalie Kishka."

Cheerchen heard that it was the girl's voice.
