The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Hans Follett and Arvid Widenberg left the house.

Although the butler was surprised that his master still went out so late, he immediately prepared a mount for him.

The destination of the two is the city gate facing the pier in Riga. As the defender of Riga, apart from the governor, only Hans Follett had the power to order the soldiers guarding the gate to open the gate at night.

At the pier outside the city, Wan Lai was silent at this time, as if everything was asleep. But if you walk in, you will find a team of mercenaries under the leadership of their officers, holding weapons in their hands and staring at the direction of the city gate silently.

Looking from the pier, one could only see the bonfire burning on the city wall, and the city gate was completely dark.

Although the mercenaries that came with the ship this time also had artillery and three artillery pieces, it was not a simple thing to blast through the gates of Riga, but it was not impossible, but Arvid Wei Demberg still strongly advises to outsmart.

"His Majesty Carl X is very ill, but he is a strong-willed fighter. None of us knows how long he will live. If we lose too much strength in Riga and destroy the city defenses, then once Carl X When the commander returns, we will have difficulty defending."

It is precisely because of this that Arvid Widenberg took the risk of bribing the soldiers guarding the city gate and sneaked into the city.

At this time, Cheerchen and Karlsson are squatting behind a pile of boxes that are as high as two people. Karlsson's back is leaning against the box. He sticks out his head and looks in the direction of the city gate from time to time, his face is covered with anxious sweat. .

"Carlsson, what are you nervous about?" Cheerchen asked with a smile.

"Count, I'm not nervous, but anxious." Karlsson said, "Tonight is the time to determine the fate of the queen, determine the fate of you and me. If the marshal fails to persuade his subordinates, or the guards on the wall to find out If we changed and failed, then we have no way out other than exile."

Speaking of this, Karlsson once again defended himself by saying "Of course, I am not for myself, but for the queen."

Carlsson's true feelings also made Cheorchen's thoughts drift into the distance.

It is false to say not to be nervous. Unlike Karlsson, who is alone, what Cheerchen wants to protect and take care of is a family and a group.

Before deciding to stand on Sister Christina’s side, Cheerchen thought: If she succeeded, Sister Christina will re-enter the throne. King Jan Kazimierz in Warsaw might acquiesce to this fact, like Back then, he became the team leader of Bratzlaff; but if he fails, the king will deprive him of all his titles and fiefdoms. By then, I am afraid that even Uncle Pidro, Natalie and Fatima will be implicated. More seriously, King Jan Kazimierz would even want himself to calm his anger and show sincerity for peace.

But I still did it without hesitation.

Chechen is a person who knows his gratitude. In Crimea, Christina tried her best to help herself defeat Isilan Gley. Although this can be counted as the reward for saving Christina from Warsaw, the relationship between people is not waiting. Price exchange. If Christina treats herself well, she should pay back ten and a hundred points.

Moreover, Cheorchen believes that if Christina is facing this situation today, she will help herself without hesitation.

Pulling his thoughts back, Cheerchen said to Karlsson: "Don't worry, we have to trust Marshal Widenberg and believe that God is on our side."

Karlsson nodded. But immediately his face blushed, because he realized that his age could be an uncle Cheerchen, but now he still needs him to comfort him.

"Earl..." Karlsson was just waiting to speak before defending himself, when suddenly someone around was shouting: "The door is open! The door is open!"

Cheerchen and Karlsson leaned out from behind the box.

Sure enough, the gates of Riga opened wide.

Karlsson straightened up excitedly. He said to Cheerchen: "Count, give me the honor of being the first to enter the city."

After speaking, Karlsson shouted "follow me", then waved his short broadsword, leading a group of mercenaries to rush out from the concealment and rush to the city gate quickly.

"Soldiers loyal to me! Long live the Queen Christina of Sweden!"

At the city gate, Hans Flatt was one position behind Alvid Wedenberg. He saw Karlsson and others rushing up and shouted to the bewildered Swedish soldiers guarding the city.

But no one responded, and the soldiers still looked at a loss.

At this time, Alvid Wedenberg said loudly: "Your Majesty is here to end the war! Her Majesty will bring peace!"

"Hurray!" shouted in hundreds of voices.

There were the voices of mercenaries and Swedish soldiers in the city.

Obviously ~www.readwn.com~ After years of war, the hearts of Swedish soldiers are also war-weary.

"kill!"

The hustle and bustle on the city wall echoes the shouts of the mercenaries on the dock.

Many people on the walls and in the barracks did not know what had happened at first. When the news came, and when everyone knew that Queen Christina had returned and was about to bring peace to the kingdom, all the soldiers went crazy with joy. Hundreds of hats flew into the air, and the artillery on the gun stand roared.

Of course not everyone has turned his back on Karl X. Dozens of Swedish soldiers, under the leadership of their captain, Baron Miller, held a gun position and stated that King Carl X was the real monarch of the kingdom.

So a short and terrible fierce battle inevitably unfolded.

There will be a mortal heart, and a scholar will not have the desire to be greedy for life. A small number of people do not want to survive, holding on to the determination of death, even if Karlsson has several times more people than Baron Miller, they can't take him under the eagerness. Baron Miller was refreshed, and he directed the shooting calmly and unhurriedly.

Whether it was Karlsson or Hans Follett or Alvid Wedenberg calling for him to lay down his weapon, the Baron responded by shooting.

Finally, realizing that the persuasion to surrender had no result, several mercenaries dived near the gun position, and they lit the bomb from the bottom to the top and dropped it on the gun position.

After a few loud noises, the gun position that had been shooting ceaselessly fell silent.

Cheerchen and a few mercenary officers came to the gun position full of blood. Baron Miller was covered in blood, and his clothes were like rags.

Although an enemy, the bravery of the Baron won the respect of everyone.

Cheerchen covered the baron's body with a Swedish military flag and took off his hat in salute.

On the straight street under the city wall, a fire dragon is running towards the Governor's House in Riga.
