The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

General Robert Douglas and his adjutant boarded the headed ship.

In front of him, a mercenary dressed in Spain with a cane greeted him.

"Your Excellency, I really didn't find you to be able to see you again." Victor de Labuscado smiled and greeted Robert Douglas.

General Robert Douglas also recognized Victor de Labuscado, and he exchanged a few words with the Spanish mercenary, and then said the purpose of this-he wants a routine inspection.

"Of course." Victor de Labuscado said with a smile, "Then, you and I go to the captain's room for a drink, and let your adjutant check it out on the ship?"

Robert Douglas rejected Victor de Labuscado's suggestion. He asked the adjutant and Victor to look around, and he went down to the cabin to check.

Robert Douglas's adjutant General Anzan is not ashamed of his careful thoughts. Not only could I and this Spanish officer be able to watch him, but the general alone could see what others didn't want him to see.

So the adjutant walked towards the stern of the troop carrier, accompanied by Victor, and Robert Douglas got out of the cabin.

The cabin is full of pungent smells. This kind of smell Robert Douglas is both familiar and unfamiliar—the ship he took from Scotland to Sweden was also full of similar smells.

Eating cheese with maggots and biscuits with worms, nibbling on corned beef that can be his elders, and drinking stinky rum. In the eyes of the captain, these people and sailors are not even as good as the animals on the ship. Because in extreme water shortages, the captain’s cats and dogs can get plenty of drinking water, but their fresh water has to be halved. On a ship, even going to the toilet is a dangerous thing, because if you have to go behind the statue on the bow, you will fall off if you don’t pay attention.

Such a tragic fate was finally changed after he arrived in Sweden, and the person who changed his fate was...

Robert Douglas continued to walk deep into the cabin. Obviously, this troop carrier transports mostly military supplies. The cabin is full of boxes of various sizes. The aisle is very narrow, and a strong figure like Robert Douglas can only walk sideways.

When it was about to come to an end, a Huozhezi suddenly lit up.

At the end, Christina, wearing a Swedish military uniform, was sitting in a back chair, and behind her were Karlsson and Chechen.

Robert Douglas approached Christina, he fell on his knees and kissed the hem of the queen's uniform.

"Your Majesty, I finally saw you again." Robert Douglas' eyes filled with excitement and tears.

Seeing that the Scottish general, who had been favored by Christina, remained loyal to the Queen, Cheerchen and Carlsson smiled at each other.

Christina stood up and helped Robert Douglas. She thanked Robert Douglas for his unswerving loyalty to her, and said that for his loyalty, she would definitely be rewarded in the future.

Then, Christina asked Robert Douglas about her cousin, Karl X.

When it comes to Carl's name, Christina's emotions are mixed. Because this is the man he once loved, but for his great cause, he did not hesitate to put himself to death.

"His Majesty Carl's health is very bad. He has pneumonia, which is the root cause of the disease when he was fighting in Denmark." Robert Douglas said.

Because the king's condition is the top secret of the kingdom, only a few people in Sweden know about it, and Christina and Cheorchen are even ignorant.

"His Majesty Carl is coughing up blood every day, and more and more times."

Hearing the tragic situation of Karl X, Christina couldn't help showing pity and pity in her eyes.

Is Carl really a man born for war? He has become so sick, but he has to continue fighting with the Poles, fighting a war that is doomed to be unwinnable.

"Everyone is marveling at the king's strong willpower. However, there are rumors that His Majesty Carl X has the idea of ​​peace talks, and the relevant truce is already being discussed."

Robert Douglas' words once again made Chelchen and Christina dumbfounded.

"When is this? And, how is the negotiation going now?" Cheer Chen asked anxiously.

He didn't even use honorifics to Robert Douglas.

Robert Douglas knew Chechen, and he also knew that this was what Christina wanted to know, so he said what he knew.

Negotiations with the Polish envoy started around the end of January this year, and they were conducted in secret. The envoy from the Swedish side went to Warsaw secretly through the election of Saxony as an intermediary. But as for the specific details of the negotiations, General Robert Douglas is not clear because he is a soldier and he did not participate in the negotiations.

Christina and Cheerchen were thinking at this time: The negotiations between Poland and Sweden may not go well, otherwise there would be no such action.

After Christina called Robert Douglas "My General" and thanked him again, General Robert Douglas left.

After a while, Victor de Labskado got out of the cabin on crutches.

"Your Majesty, Cheerchen. The Swedes have now let me go. I believe we will be able to reach Riga in a short time."

"Thank you, Victor." Christina's voice came from the darkness, majestic and polite.

Victor bowed slightly into the darkness and saluted. He turned around to board the deck, but heard footsteps.

"Uncle Victor, I will go up with you."

This is Cheerchen's voice.

So the two got out of the cabin.

Perhaps because of staying in the cabin for too long, Cheorchen's eyes couldn't use the outside sunlight for a while. He squinted his eyes in direct sunlight.

Victor stood in front of Cheor Chen and blocked him from the sun, knowing that Cheor Chen was recovering.

"Thanks a lot."

Although this is just a trivial matter, and Cheerchen's identity and status are far higher than Victor now, Cheerchen still has a polite attitude towards Uncle Victor.

"It's just a lift." Victor de Labuscardo responded with a smile.

At this time, the fleet once again hung up its sails and was driving at full speed on the Daugava River, and the fort on the bank that blocked the riverbank was also moving at Chechen and Victor de Labska at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many eyes become smaller and disappear.

Cheerchen leaned on the side of the ship, and he seemed to ask Victor casually, "Uncle Victor, your Majesty the King, besides asking you to **** Queen Christina and assist me, do you have any other orders?"

This question made Victor de Labuscado look straight at Cheerchen's profile, as if he wanted to see some clues.

But Cheerchen's complexion was as usual, and Victor couldn't see anything.

Victor refocused his gaze on the scenery on the river bank. He opened his lips and said, "No, your Majesty has no special instructions. Why do you ask?"

King Victor de Labus Cadoyan Cazimierz sent to assist Chechen.

The king temporarily ordered Cheechen and the others in the mercenary group to move separately before Cheechen and the others set off-Cheechen led the mercenaries to take the waterway; while Pidro and others traveled to Riga by sea via Königsberg.

King Jan Kazimierz gave the reason that Chelchen and his officers are now well-known, and a group of people can not guarantee that they will not be recognized by other mercenaries.

Cheerchen changed his posture and leaned his entire back against the ship's gunwale.

"Because I heard a message from Robert Douglas just now that King Carl X sent an emissary to Warsaw, and His Majesty the King has also contacted King Carl X's people. I am worried that in case we take action in Riga, and here During the peace talks between His Majesty the King and the Swedes, we will bear the charge of sabotaging the peace talks."

Victor de Labuscado learned that Cheerchen was worried about this ~www.readwn.com~ He was a little relieved, because Cheerchen was worried about His Majesty's affairs.

Victor, who knew Cheerchen's thoughts, secretly laughed at Cheerchen, because before he came, King Jan Kazimierz had told him how to deal with it.

"You don't need to worry, Chechen." Victor said confidently. "Many fishermen and boat owners on the Daugava River are the intelligence agents of the Republic. If His Majesty the King really orders, then these intelligence agents will soon be able to take the king's The order is sent to us."

"Then I'm relieved." Cheer Chen breathed a sigh of relief when Victor said this, as if a big rock fell on the ground.

Suddenly, Cheerchen's face collapsed.

"Not good," he said, and slammed his fist on the wooden ship's gunwale.

"What's the matter?" Victor's reaction was a little puzzled.

"Victor, your Majesty the King may have missed one thing." Chechen sighed.

And Cheerchen's forehead was sweating, which seemed very important at this time.

Victor thought for a while when he saw it, but he didn't realize that there was something insignificant about His Majesty's instructions.

"Queen Christina, Queen!" Cheerchen explained in a hurry, starting to dance, "Your Majesty the King obviously missed her Majesty the Queen of Sweden on our ship. If the negotiation between the two countries is reached, the Queen will not give up and initiate a reset in Riga. What about the uprising? You know, I gave her all the money, and she was able to buy all the mercenaries!"

Victor looked at Cheerchen's panicked look for the Republic and the King, he patted Cheerchen on the shoulder and decided to give Cheerchen some words.

"Don't worry, if this happens, His Majesty the King has already told me what to do."
