The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

The name Chris naturally reminds Cheerchen of his brief and unusual experience in Myatersk and the beautiful and upright lady.

Because Cheerchen fell into the memory, the scene couldn't help but feel a little cold. However, Douglas is obviously a generous person. He didn't feel that this was a negligence for himself because of Cheerchen's silence, but he waited there while observing Cheerchen.

After a while, Cheer Chen realized that there was a guest in front of him.

"Chris. No, how is Queen Christina?" Cheerchen asked.

"His Majesty is fine. She first returned to Devinsk, and then the war between us and the Republic of Poland broke out. Her Majesty, worried about the safety of the King, went to Olsztynburg. There, the two princes went to Warsaw together. In fact, no one expected the war to progress so quickly. We expected it to take at least half a year to occupy this country. Oh, yes. Her Majesty said that she still hopes you call her Chris." Douglas said.

Hearing General Douglas talked about Christina wishing to treat her as Chris, Cheerchen's heart warmed for no reason.

"What about Boguslav, Chris did King Carl X teach this guy?"

Before Cheerchen left Werner, Boguslav's frivolous **** Chris was still Werner's guest. He wandered between Yanush and Sapega on both sides, doing a centrist wishful thinking.

When Chechen wanted to come, after Chris returned to Sweden, she and her cousin King Karl X would not let Boguslav.

But Douglas's answer was beyond Cheerchen's expectation.

"Prince Boguslav went to Warsaw to apologize to Christina, and His Majesty forgave him. Of course, the reason is to visit his uncle, the Elector Frederick William. We don't want such a scandal. The whole world knows, after all, this is related to the queen’s reputation."

Cheerchen was a little dumbfounded, Boguslav's crime was so gently put down?

"How could this happen? Shouldn't the king be on Chris' side? And he is still Chris's..." Cheerchen murmured in a low voice.

Although Cheerchen's voice was soft, Douglas, who was standing in front of Cheerchen, heard it clearly.

"You have misunderstood your Majesty the King. It was Christina's intention to forgive Boguslav." Douglas clarified.

Ideals often succumb to reality. Of course, Karl X was willing to give this cousin a bad breath, because Boguslav’s behavior was simply an insult to the Capet family. And he also has such strength now. With the smooth progress of the Swedish army in the Republic of Poland, the importance of the surrenders and fencers in places like Janusz and Boguslav has greatly diminished in Sweden. The Swedish monarchs are floating in the army's victories, and they are no longer willing. Or she is only willing to share the "cake" with a traitor like Yanush rarely. But Christina was keenly aware that an undercurrent was constantly surging, and could overthrow the Swedish ship on the Vistula at any time.

Yes, there is no king in this country, but the lords did not give up resistance. Pavel Sapega and Jan Sobieski are the best examples. And the people of the Republic of Poland, the people of a country where almost all people believe in Catholicism, are also full of hostility towards Sweden, which believes in Protestantism. Although they remained silent under the power of the Swedish army, once Sweden showed a trace of weakness, they would rise up. The attitude of Tsarist Russia was also very ambiguous. After Sweden invaded the Republic of Poland, the bloated behemoth that first invaded Smolensk began to stand still. After his messenger visited Karl X in Warsaw, he did not return directly, but disappeared without a trace. And those allies of Sweden, in Christina's view, are not so reliable. Elector Frederick did not fire a single shot, and he almost followed Marshal Brahe Wichensburg into Warsaw. After that, he had been a grind in almost every battle; and Janusz Laziviu It was not as influential as expected. Almost half of the nobles opposed him and the Swedes. Under such circumstances, disposing of Boguslav will offend an elector and a prince, which is not good for Sweden. Even if Christina as a Catholic has always opposed the invasion of Poland, she still has to consider the interests of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The decision to forgive Boguslav is based on these considerations.

Of course, these cannot be for outsiders. Even to Douglas, he can only guess one or two of the reasons.

"Really? Chris is still so kind." Cheer Chen couldn't figure out these questions, he could only attribute it to Chris' character.

"His Royal Highness is indeed the kindest person in the world." Douglas unconsciously praised when Cheerchen said this. When he talked about Christina, he seemed to be talking about a saint.

Christina entrusted Douglas to convey her greetings to Cheerchen. Douglas had already delivered it, and it was getting late, so Douglas should have returned to rest. But he made an unexpected request.

"Do you want to see my mercenary group?" Cheer Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have heard people say that your mercenary group can be used to fighting, it is a strong force. Although it is a bit abrupt to eliminate such a request at this late, I still hope that Captain Chechen will agree." Douglas said.

Cheerchen is certainly the time to get advice from a Swedish star like Douglas. He dared to agree, and ordered the guards who watched the night to blow the horn.

This horn was originally used by the mercenary group when it encountered a surprise attack or emergency. At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that the soldiers who had fallen asleep came out of the tent one after another. They put on their clothes as they ran, with weapons in their hands.

It took almost an hour to gather all the talents in front of the playground. With a small number of people, the mercenary group was 134 fewer people, and the squadron leader Tepesh was not there. But tonight is not the squadron of Tepes, but it's the past.

"Cheerchen~www.wuxiaspot.com~What happened so late?" Piedro asked hurriedly, neatly dressed. Only then did he discover that Chechen was standing next to a soldier.

"This is?" Pidro asked suspiciously.

Chechen introduced General Douglas to Pidro. A famous Swedish general came to the mercenary group, and Pidro was flattered. He shook hands with Douglas tremblingly.

Immediately in accordance with the requirements of General Douglas, the mercenary group practiced. Since most people wake up from their dreams, and it is midnight, the effect of the exercise is not ideal. And because of the absence of Tepes, only three squadrons were actually performing.

But Douglas nodded repeatedly. Because Cheerchen's mercenary group was much better than most of the Polish-based troops he had seen.

"Captain Chechen, your mercenary regiment uses our Swedish army establishment, right?" Douglas could see the reality of the mercenary regiment at a glance.

"Yes." Cheerchen admitted.

"It's a pity that your mercenary regiment has fewer artillery and cavalry, otherwise we can have half the combat effectiveness of our Swedish army under the same number." Douglas commented.

This is already a very high evaluation. Originally, Cheerchen still had only one-third or even one-fourth of the "teacher" in his mercenary group?

Regarding Douglas’s question of too few artillery and cavalry in the mercenary regiment, Cheerchen explained to Douglas that the artillery Prince Yanush was only assigned to three of them, and Algierdas’ cavalry was also the first to fight with Jan Sobie. Sky suffered heavy losses in the battle.

"I look forward to us fighting side by side in the next battle."

After understanding the situation of the mercenary group, Douglas left, leaving such a sentence before leaving.
