The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Seeing that everyone was persuaded, Cheer Chen announced the sequence of the expedition.

The mercenary group: Pidro, Bashit, Father Spasokkotsky, Fedot, Semeno, Viscount Hessian, Yelisei, Sarben, Varvara and other combatants and Medical staff led two hundred Germanic pikemen and a hundred newly recruited German two-handed swordsmen on the march.

Bratslav Cossacks: Dimosev and Jamie Popovich led the 2,500 Cossacks.

Natalie, Fatima, Blair, Dimoscheff, Ingrid and others stayed behind.

The mercenary group only sent three hundred troops this time. It’s not that Chechen was partial to his old men and deliberately let the Cossacks be cannon fodder. The real reason was that except for the three hundred people brought by Pedro from Vidava, they were in cloth Raclav's mercenary regiment only had more than a hundred Hessian cavalry.

This is also Cheerchen's deliberate move in order to stabilize the hearts of the Bratzláv Cossacks, worrying that too many mercenary regiments entering will make the Cossacks feel like they are overwhelming.

But when Natalie heard that her name was on the list left behind, her face clearly showed dissent.

At the meeting, she didn't say anything in order to maintain Cheerchen's authority, but when the meeting ended, she immediately stopped Cheerchen.

"My dear, I want to go to Konotop with you." Natalie said firmly.

Cheerchen held Natalie's softness. Of course, he knew Natalie's determination to live and die with him, and he also understood that Natalie was not afraid of death.

"No," Cheerchen shook his head resolutely: "You have to stay here."

Natalie wanted to talk, but Cheerchen blocked Natalie's lips with her finger.

"Natalie, you want to stay." Cheerchen said in an adult, master's tone: "The Bratzlaff Cossacks are surrendered to me, but if I'm gone, some of them will definitely make trouble. These moths come, just like when Bao Hong died. At that time, it is obvious that an Uncle Blair cannot be suppressed. You are my wife, and you have the courage of a knight, you can’t live with the Cossacks here. Although it is a dangerous thing, I believe you can handle it well. Promise me and look at Bratzlaff for me."

Natalie threw herself into Cheerchen's arms.

"Is Bratzlaff so important in your heart?"

"No, I don't care about Bratzlaff, it's Bogon. I vowed to inherit this inheritance from his father when he grows up, so I must protect this place."

Speaking of this, Cheer Chen realized that his tone was too heavy, as if he was making a will and asking for a lonely one. Although he smiled and said in as easy a tone as possible: "Don't worry, the bullet that can kill me hasn't been made yet! Besides, I have seen the Russian siege ability. In Smolensk Even though Prince Alexei got the help of the Cossacks and exhausted all the means of siege, they still had nothing to do with Smolensk. I knew their means, so I expected to hold Konotop for two months. It’s not that difficult."

Natalie seemed to believe Cheerchen's words. She looked at Cheerchen's eyes and said, "Promise me, you must come back alive."

"must!"

Like Natalie, he didn't say anything at the meeting, but he had to talk to Cheerchen alone and his uncle Piedro.

That night, Pidro called Cheor Chen out in the name of drinking.

On the balcony, feeling the cold wind blowing from the Transnistria, Piedro handed Chechen a bottle of honey.

"Actually, you don't have to follow Vigowski's words." Piedro said: "You are now the team leader of Bratzlaff, holding 10,000 elite soldiers in your hand, even if you don't go to Konotop, Vigoff What can Sky do to you? He can't do anything to the rebellious Ivan Hilko."

Seeing that Uncle Pidro meant this, Cheerchen laughed bitterly. He acquiesced in Vigowski to get rid of Pavlo Tetria and Jan Kazimi conveyed by Henrik Potocki. The secret order of the Japanese king was told to Pidro as it was.

"It seems that I can sit in the position of team leader to support Konotop." Cheerchen said at last.

After listening, Pidro poured a sip of wine into his mouth.

"I just said why Natalie didn't stop you at the meeting. It turns out that the king also got involved in it."

"Natalie should just support me purely." Cheer Chen argued for Natalie.

I don’t know if Pidro listened to this. At this moment, he looked at the moonlight and said in an unprecedented serious tone: "You know? My dear nephew. Ever since you killed Yakov Cherka. After Siji, the big rock that uncle was holding in his heart fell to the ground."

"Me too." Cheerchen said.

Pidro smiled and glanced at Chechen, his eyes full of affectionate tenderness.

Pidro continued: "The great revenge will be avenged. Uncle now has only one goal-that is to grow the branch of our Alvar family in Poland, and let our family flourish and prosper. Then a little bit of you. Indeed, it did: the governor of Bratzlaff, such a prominent official position, how many powerful and powerful this is a position that can not be seen; a good general of 10,000 Cossacks, I am afraid that King Lianyan Kazimierz's direct soldiers. Not as many as you have come; with the addition of your wife Natalie’s Kishka family, in time, you might call the second Jan Zamoyski."

The Jan Zamoyski mentioned by Pidro is the ancestor of Jan Zamoys who robbed Jan Sobieski's sweetheart. He was originally an ordinary nobleman, with only a few villages on the land. But with the rewards that he received as an adviser to King Stefan Bartóré and commander-in-chief of the army, Jan Zamoyski quickly became the leading aristocratic magnate in the Bolivian Republic at the time. He owns 11 cities and more than two hundred villages under his name. The farmland area of ​​his labor manor has reached 6445 square kilometers ~ www.readwn.com ~ square kilometers. What is this concept? The island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea has a total area of ​​only 9,250 square kilometers.

Cheerchen didn't even dare to compare himself to Jan Zamoyski by Uncle Pidro.

Pidro didn't care about Cheechen's modesty, he took another sip of wine-at this time, he was already drunk and blushing slightly drunk.

"So, I thought there were so many, you shouldn't be in danger every time. Isn't it better to run the territory at home and spread the branches and leaves? Isn't it better to leave the war to Yelishei and the others, anyway they are now too? Can be alone. But now it seems that it’s not enough if you don’t go to Konotop."

Cheerchen didn't expect Uncle Pidro to have this idea.

"Then my dear uncle, why don't I leave you in Bratzlaff. Marry another wife to open up branches and leaves for the family."

Pidro glared Cheerchen.

"That's not going to be true! As the saying goes, you can't do things with a slender mouth. If you face 60,000 Russians by yourself and let your uncle fear you every day in Bratislava, I can't do it! Let's turn you upside down. It’s almost the same if I leave."

After speaking, Pidro looked at the starry night sky again.

"But after this time, you really have to listen to your uncle, manage your territory well, breed offspring, and no longer be born and die like that. I once fortune-telled you—according to the Polish habit: I caught a cuckoo. Bird, and then asked her how many children you will have in the future, the Tojula immediately screamed, and also called twelve times in a row." (According to Polish folklore, the cuckoo bird is a girl named Zajula Change, cuckoo bird will predict people’s marriage, life span, good and bad luck.)

"I listen to you, dear uncle." Chechen responded.
