The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

"What? Those **** Cossacks are ready to move again?"

When Skozhedusky talked about the restless behavior of Cossack leader Anton Zhdanovic at the border, Stefan Çarnetski asked with concern.

Stefan Çarnetski was one of the generals of the Republic who had the most dealings with the Cossacks of Zaporozhye before the Bory War. In 1648, he was one of many Polish noble prisoners of war who fell into the hands of Bogdan Khmelnitski at the Battle of Zofty-Worty, and was imprisoned in Crimea until he was captured by Qazi in 1649. King Miri was redeemed; after that, the generals actively suppressed the Cossacks in Ukraine. He participated in the Battle of Berestekhko in 1651 and the Battle of Batoch in 1652. The Republic won a great victory in the first battle, and defeated the Republic in the second battle. In the Battle of Batoch, Stefan Czarnetsky was saved by hiding in a haystack. Thousands of Poles captured by the Cossacks were brutally killed.

"It's just a little trouble. Thousands of Cossacks can't help the fortress of Zbaraj, nor are they an opponent of our heavy cavalry." Skrzeduski said lightly.

The soldier then let go of his heart.

"Stop talking about that. Skozhedusky, you live in the palace tonight. I want to hear more about your fight against the Cossacks and Tatars in Ukraine." King Kazimierz said.

"It's really three days and three nights and I can't finish it." Skrzeduski smiled and agreed to the king's request.

At this time, Barabaka walked in again.

"Your Majesty, Miss Natalie is back." Barabaka said to the king.

"Who do you say?"

Hearing his daughter's name, Janusz felt a little overwhelmed by himself.

"Your daughter, Miss Natalie. She also brought some friends." Barabaka said to Janush.

"Hurry up and call her in!" King Kazimierz ordered Barabaka.

Barabaka backed out. Kazimierz said to the unknown Skozheduschi: "Natalie is the daughter of Janusz and our young eagle."

So Cheerchen and Natalie walked in together. Cheerchen and Natalie also just arrived in Lviv. After Fatima was persuaded by Yelisei to return, the team continued to move towards Lviv. Fatima calmly rode beside Cheer Chen, guarding him as before. But Cheerchen was still a little embarrassed, especially Fatima put on a red outfit, which looked so charming, very different from the past. Although Natalie instinctively felt that Fatima returned this time, and did not give up the plan to compete with her for Chechen, but because of her own sake, she had already angered Fatima once, and Natalie didn't want to let Cheer because of herself Chen lost a powerful helper, so he tried his best not to make it difficult for Cheor Chen along the way.

On the official road near Lviv, the team encountered a constant stream of travelers to Lviv, and only after inquiring did they realized that the king was going to be crowned in Lviv, which was a big deal. So everyone speeded up, hoping that the worm could catch up with the coronation ceremony. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late, and only rushed to the city of Lviv in the evening.

Natalie was stunned when she saw that her father and queen were there.

"Your Majesty, Queen."

"King, queen. Good night!"

Natalie fell to her knees on one knee and pulled Chechen in a hand. The latter also bowed in salute on one knee in the same way.

When she stood up, she called to Janush: "Father."

"Natalie, who is this?" Queen Ludvika smiled ambiguously, looking at Natalie with a well-knowing expression.

Natalie blushed at the sight of the queen. She hurriedly introduced to the king: "Your Majesty, this is Alvar Chechen, a mercenary from Spain. He is also a hero in the defense of the monastery."

At this time, Dean Koldecki also stepped forward. As soon as Cheerchen and Natalie came in, the dean recognized Cheerchen.

"Your Majesty, this is the hero I mentioned to you who blew up the Swedes' heavy cannon." Dean Koldecki said

"It turned out to be you! What a heroic youth." King Kazimierz looked up and down at the half-old boy in front of him with a novel look.

Chechen stood quietly, bearing the gaze of King Kazimierz safely. When going to the palace, Natalie told him, and after seeing the king, she said nothing, and Natalie would take care of everything. And over the years, Cheer Chen has seen many high-ranking and powerful people, and the initial tension has long become accustomed.

Kazimierz didn’t know that Chelchen had ever seen a big man like Karl X, who was on par with him. He saw Chelchen still calm as usual under the gaze of the king of a country like himself, and he couldn’t help but look at Chelchen again. .

"I heard that you came back to Lithuania. Why did you suddenly come to Lviv? Could it be that the leader of Sapega asked you to send the letter?"

After observing Chechen for a while, King Kazimierz asked.

In response to this, Natalie was afraid that Cheerchen didn’t understand the speaking skills and poor manners, so she hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Cheerchen, he was sued in Lithuania, and an officer who had suspected him sued him intentionally. It hurt, and he had to leave Lithuania as a last resort."

Natalie's words cleverly put aside the roles played by the leader of Saperga and Colonel Halletsky. But only limited the contradiction between Cheerchen and Coppola.

It is not surprising that Cheerchen came to Lviv to escape the lawsuit, from the king to the generals. In the Republic, there are too many such things. Which nobleman has not filed a few lawsuits, even embarrassed to say hello to others.

"Then did you hurt him? That second lieutenant." King Kazimierz asked with a smile. For such trivial matters, Kazimierz didn't care at all. Even if Cheerchen really hurt people, only his contribution to defending the monastery would save him from the guilt with his own pardon.

"I hurt him during the war." Cheerchen said honestly.

These words of "honesty" caused another whisper of joy from the king.

"Don't worry, child. I will give you a paper to pardon you and save you from the lawsuit."

After laughing, King Kazimierz promised Cheerchen.

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief when the king said so.

Then, Natalie's face was full. Cheerchen's affairs have been dealt with, and now it's time to talk about the big things.

Putting the matter of encountering Bao Hong after Cheerchen's matter was also the result of Natalie's deliberation. She knew that if she told the Cossacks about the alliance between the Cossacks and the Swedes as soon as she saw the king, His Majesty the King would definitely be in chaos, and he would have no intention of listening to Chechen's grievances.

"Your Majesty, Cheerchen and I met Ivan Bauhon when we returned to Lviv," Natalie said.

"Who do you think it is!"

General Stefan and Skozheduski heard the name and exclaimed in unison ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ivan Bauhon. "Natalie said again in a deep voice.

Except for Dean Koldecki, the faces of the others sank. Ivan Baohong’s reputation is too great. Some people even say that he is the No. 2 figure of the Zaporozhye Cossacks and the heir of the Cossack chiefs after the well-respected Khmelnitsky. He suddenly appeared near Lviv, absolutely nothing good.

"Natalie, do you know what Ivan Bauhon did in Lviv?" Janush asked seriously. He feared that Baohong had come to assassinate His Majesty the King on the order of Khmelnitsky.

"Bao Hong didn't come to Lviv, he just passed by. I met him in a small town. His destination is Warsaw." Natalie said.

Ivan Baohong, Warsaw.

None of the people present are dumb. They quickly thought that Khmelnitsky might be trying to get in touch with the Swedes, or even form an alliance.

"Natalie, this matter is not trivial. How did you know that Ivan Bauhon was going to Warsaw." Stanislaw Potocki asked.

"He said it himself," Natalie said.

Stanislaw Potocki was a little unbelievable. As a seasoned politician, he has a heart-to-heart, he can hardly believe that Ivan Baohong will tell his enemy his true purpose.

"Perhaps he is lying to you." Stanislaw Potocki said without hesitation.

"Master Potocki, I think Miss Natalie is telling the truth. Bao Hong is a man of arrogant nature, and he disdains to deceive people." Skozhedusky said to Potocki.

"Who is this?"

Natalie didn't know Skozheduschi.

"This is the commander of Zbarazh Fortress, Jan Skozheduski." Janusz Kishka said to his daughter.
