The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 378: Warsaw, Warsaw 19
Cheerchen and Natalie looked in the direction of the sound, and that person turned out to be Karlsson, whom they both knew.
At this time, Karlsson was hanging naked, his long hair covered with chicken feathers and dead branches draped over his face, hiding his facial expression. Carlsson's body was covered with **** welts, and he had obviously suffered a lot of crimes.
"What crime did he commit?" Cheer Chen asked the guard long.
Seeing Carlsson like this, Cheerchen couldn't bear it. After all, in the task of escorting Janusz and Natalie to Lithuania, Karlsson helped him a lot without knowing it.
"This guy is the most dishonest one. Just now the Swede attacked us and this guy came out of the room for the first time." The guard said, his tone of voice was like saying that a chicken ran out of the chicken coop. generally.
"Innocent! Commander Cheorchen. I just heard the sound of the guns trying to figure out what happened, and I never thought about running away. Chief Warden, you have to trust me." Karlsson worried that Cheorchen would not save himself because of this. Hurriedly defended.
Cheerchen wanted to ask if what Carlson said was true, but Natalie secretly stopped him. Natalie knew in her heart that the guards abused Karlsson and the other Swedish prisoners of war without any reason. They have done all bad things on Polish soil, and everyone hates them deeply. What's more, several attacks on Warsaw City suffered heavy losses. Of course, these guards would vent their grievances on the prisoners.
So even if Karlsson hadn't thought about breaking out of prison, the guards would use the question to teach them to vent their anger. So it doesn't make any sense to discuss these.
"Your Excellency, this Swedish prisoner and I also have enmity. I met here this time. Why don't you hand him over to me and Captain Chechen." Natalie said to the captain.
"This..." The chief guard hesitated. Regarding Natalie's words of hatred between the two, the sophisticated guard did not believe a word. His heart was very bright, Natalie and Cheerchen wanted to save the Swedish prisoner of war.
"Miss Natalie, these prisoners of war are all on the register, and there is one missing alive. If asked about it, I can't afford it." The chief guard pretended to be embarrassed.
"Pop!", a money bag traversed a perfect parabola in the air and fell into the hands of the chief guard.
"I won't make it difficult for you." Natalie said.
Then, she took Cheerjin, who was still waiting for a reply from the guard, to walk to the straw shed where Catherine was.
The head guard weighed the purse. He made a color to a **** next to him, and then quickly followed Cheerchen and Natalie.
"Don't worry, two. I'll hand that Corson to you later. In fact, it is inevitable that one or two prisoners of war died in the prison camp." The captain said as he walked halfway behind the two.
As for whether to tell Cheer Chen and Natalie Ting to listen to this story, it is unclear.
When she was about to reach the straw shed where Catherine was, the guard walked quickly past the two, and she graciously lifted the curtain of the straw shed to facilitate the two to enter.
"I won't disturb you anymore, Captain Chechen, Miss Natalie, call me again if you have anything to do."
The head guard watched the two enter, and then lowered the curtain.
Cheerchen saw Catherine lying on a sheet of paper-thin blanket in this straw shed, which was less than eight square meters. He has bare feet, and the soles of his feet are covered with burnt marks; there are blood on the tips of his three fingers, and his nails have long been plucked out. And his bare chest was full of weal marks.
Seeing this scene, Cheor Chen understood how cruel Catherine was punished.
"Catherine, Catherine." Cheer Chen called.
Catherine had closed her eyes. He heard someone calling himself, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Chechen? Is that you?" Catherine wanted to smile, but the smile affected the wound, making it look uglier than crying.
Cheerjin squatted down and took Catherine's uninjured hand.
"I'm sorry." Cheerchen said. He thought that if it were not for herself, Catherine might not have been subjected to such torture.
"Don't do your business. I am too confident. I originally thought I was an aristocratic soldier who values honor above life. But I didn't know until I was tortured. I was not as strong as I thought."
After speaking, Catherine looked up at Natalie again. He recognized that it was Natalie who had captured herself.
"This is Natalie Kishka." Cheerchen introduced.
Neither of them has any expressions. Also, in this situation, should the two insist on saying hello to each other?
Catherine turned her head back to Cheerchen.
"Chechen, I want to know more about Helena (Helena Obkhovic) in Werner." Catherine begged.
Catherine did not forget the one she loved.
Cheerchen actually doesn't know much about Helena Obkhovich and her father. When trying to persuade him to surrender, he actually said almost everything he knew. After the defeat of Yanush, Feodor Obukhović was also taken prisoner. At the beginning, the leader of Sapega also gave Feodor a chance to try to persuade him to surrender. But this time, Feodor said nothing to surrender. This cowardly nobleman made a rare hard time. He was unwilling to surrender again, because he surrendered three times in a year. Such an insult was too great.
As a result, Sapega commanded Fyodor Obukhović and his daughter in separate detention. Although they have lost their freedom, they are not in danger of life.
Catherine felt relieved after listening to Cheerchen's words.
Knowing that Helena is okay, this is the greatest comfort to Catherine.
"Thank you, Cheerchen." Catherine thanked.
"It's okay, Catherine. You have a good rest here, and I will ask the doctor in our regiment to come and treat you." Chechen said.
Catherine's identity is special, and Cheer Chen's current identity cannot be saved. So Cheerchen can only provide help within his own capacity.
At this time, a silent Natalie standing aside suddenly said: "Catherine, are you telling the truth before the king and the marshal?"
Cheerchen didn't expect Natalie to ask this question suddenly, and Catherine looked at Natalie even more shame.
"Madam, do you think it is possible for me to tell lies under your inhumane torture?" Catherine asked.
"Natalie!" Cheerchen also whispered to remind Natalie that enough was enough.
But Natalie didn't stop there.
"Anything else?" Natalie asked again.
Catherine rolled her head.
"No." Catherine said to the wall.
Although Catherine couldn't see it, Natalie nodded. .
"That's good, if you tell the truth, then you may still be pardoned after the war, then you can see your Helena again." Natalie said.
It turned out that Natalie meant this, and Cheor Chen was ashamed of herself.
"Is this true?" Catherine turned her head hoping.
Natalie said naturally: "You should be thankful that our king is a gracious man and not a barbarian. Your Majesty has always treated captives with mercy, and he even Wedenberg wants to forgive him if he is willing to surrender."
Catherine's complexion became ruddy, and then returned to white.
"I cannot go back to Prince Boguslav. I betrayed him. He will not spare me. If King Kazimierz will forgive me, even if he wants to redeem my freedom with money. I will Go to Werner. This time, even if I am a prisoner for a lifetime, I will be with Helena." Catherine said firmly.
Cheerchen and Natalie walked out of the straw shed. Cheerchen looked at the stars in the sky and said to Natalie: "Even if I lose, I won't let you marry Mihavu."
Obviously, Cheer Chen was moved by Catherine and Helena's hard and loyal love.
Natalie was taken aback for a moment. Immediately, she smiled and said: "Your love story was really caught off guard. But I love to hear it."
Then Natalie leaned her head on Cheerchen's shoulder.
"You know? I also swear to the holiest Virgin. If I can't marry you, I will go to the monastery. Mortals cannot take away her servants from the Virgin."
If it weren't for the appearance of the chief caretaker and Karlsson, I believe Cheerchen and Natalie would continue to talk about love.
But the two interrupted the couple's love conversation untimely.
"Head Chechen, Miss Natalie. This captive is yours." The head guard rubbed his hands and smiled.
At this time, Karlsson had already washed his head and put on a clean shirt. Although his hands were tied up, compared to the previous one, although it was not completely reborn, it was still completely new.
"Thank you, chief caretaker."
"It's my honor to be able to serve the two of you. Don't worry, I will report to you tomorrow, saying that a prisoner was hit by a cannonball and his body was broken to pieces." The chief guard said with a smile.
Cheerchen and Natalie led Carlson out of the prisoner-of-war camp. In a corner with no one, Cheerchen untied the rope that bound Carlsson's hands.
"You are free, Karlsson." Cheerchen said to Karlsson.
Karlsson moved his tied numb wrist, and said to Cheerchen, "Please don’t let me go now, Captain Cheerchen. Where can I go as an unarmed Swede? As long as I walk out of this barracks , I will be killed by the Poles. God, I really shouldn’t have come to this country.”
Natalie sneered at Carlsson's lament. She rescued Karlsson only because Cheerchen wanted to save him.
"No one welcomes you to Poland." Natalie retorted.
Carlsson gave a crying expression.
"Yes, beautiful lady. We are all invaders in your eyes. But please believe that I have never harmed an innocent Polish. Of course, not on the battlefield. I am extremely opposed to the involvement of civilians. Coming from the war. God can testify, I'm telling the truth."
Natalie's face turned slightly awkward when he heard Carlsson say this. Seeing that Natalie's face eased, Cheerchen knew that she would not object to her helping Karlsson, so he said: "In that case, you should stay in my mercenary group first. When the war is over, you will return to Sweden. Go. Nearly half of the people in my regiment are Hessian mercenaries. Oh, yes, our quartermaster Ingrid is also Swedish, I think you will get along well."
Hearing that Chechen's mercenary group had his own compatriots, Corzon was really overjoyed. He immediately stated that he was willing to stay in the mercenary group, and to follow the rules, and would never cause trouble to the group.
In the king's tent, King Kazimierz and other republic's in power are discussing whether the Warsaw Warsaw should continue.
The old man Potocki believes that when the Swedes have lifted Le Czarist Russia’s threat to Riga, and the army of Brahe Wichensburg and the main force of Karl X are about to return to Warsaw, the main force of the Republic should be as soon as possible. Withdraw from Warsaw to avoid a decisive battle with the Swedes.
However, Lvbao Macki and Czarnetsky were on the same front this time. Although the original intentions of the two were different, the marshal and the generals believed that the Warsaw battle should continue, and that the Republic had the ability to seize Warsaw before the return of Karl X's army.
General Çarnetsky said: “Although Widenberg has received support, the Republic’s military strength still occupies an absolute quantitative advantage. Our heavy artillery is also available. It is very safe to win Warsaw. Moreover, this time In the decisive battle, the Republic has assembled almost all the soldiers. If it fails, it will inevitably be a great blow to the country’s anti-Swiss enthusiasm, and our ally, the Tsar of Moscow, is likely to make peace with Sweden. Turn to carve up the territory of the Republic. Therefore, we should seize Warsaw and then withdraw when Karl X returns, drawing the enemy into the vast hinterland and relying on guerrilla warfare to consume the enemy’s power."
Only King Kazimierz was the leader of Saperga, and Janusz agreed with Potocki's opinion ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Now, everything depends on the king's decision.
Kazimierz never felt such a heavy responsibility for a moment. He hesitated, because the opinions of both sides have their merits.
"Can't retreat, we should take Warsaw!"
Just as Kazimierz was hesitating, a sound came from outside the camp.
Everyone turned their heads.
"Your Majesty Queen!" Janush exclaimed.
The one who came was Queen Ludvika. The queen wore a purple cloak, and the dust was beaten in.
The five ministers stepped aside.
"Queen, why are you here?" King Kazimierz asked.
"I came because I got the oracle." Queen Ludvika said with a red face.
"The oracle?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Yes, the oracle. The statue of the Virgin in the Great Bright Mountain Monastery has issued a holy word, and the Virgin has sent a message to Dean Koldecki: The Republic will regain the capital."
Regarding the miracle that Queen Ludvika said, everyone present could neither believe nor believe it.
While King Kazimierz was still hesitating, Queen Ludvika said again: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the oracle that appeared on the day you returned?"
What Queen Ludwig said was an auspicious sign when Kazimierz started to leave Głogova: a white dove fell in front of the King’s frame and circled Kazimierz. The mount flew three laps.
This has happened before, and King Kazimierz certainly remembered it. At this time, when Queen Ludvika mentioned it, Kazimierz couldn't help but feel very confident: With the blessing of the Virgin, how can the power of mortals resist.
King Kazimierz walked up the first step and announced loudly:
"On July 1, launch a general offensive against Warsaw City!"
