The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

"Your Majesty," Christina said, "Although your plan is good, the count (referring to Arvid Widenberg) and I are confident to hold on to Miadersk. But based on my knowledge of Karl, if he Knowing that I am in Myatersk, he will definitely not come to attack, but will evade and return home to stabilize the situation. Moreover, although Myatersk is adjacent to the Swedish border, there are Devensk Fort and Daugava River. Obstruct, it is extremely difficult for those who want to surrender to me."

King Jan Kazimierz listened to Christina and sat down in surprise.

He finally realized that his plan on a whim was inadequate.

Then, the content of the meeting returned to the original plan.

Namely: how Christina will lead Prince Boguslav’s mercenaries from Miatersk to land in Riga.

This is the key point, how can we hide the mercenaries from Miatelsk Fort to Königsberg.

"Thousands of mercenaries leaving Miatersk fort and heading to Karl X of Königsberg will not be unsuspecting, and along the way are the Swedes’ outposts and castles, and Karl X can easily block their way. "Alvid Wedenberg said.

While talking, the former Swedish marshal drew two lines on the map.

"Neither water or land will work."

King Jan Kazimierz bit his lower lip with his teeth, his hands resting on his chest, as if thinking hard.

"How about making them falsely claim that they were hired by a certain king or duke of Germany, such as Leopold I?" The king raised his head and said his suggestion.

"Not good," Christina shook her head. "There is no country in the Principality of Germany that needs to hire such a large number of mercenaries. Karl must be well aware of this. The Habsburgs belong to the Republic. Allies, Carl is even more vigilant."

His proposal was rejected by Christina again, and Jan Kazimierz's face couldn't help blushing.

But no one noticed the king's embarrassment, because everyone was staring at the map and thinking.

After a while, Alvid Wittenberg proposed the only feasible plan, which was to take a large circle from the territory of the Republic to Königsberg.

But the biggest problem with this plan is time.

Coming back for a while, about the time to recite the prayer verse three times, Christina said: "If it is not for Königsberg, the mercenaries will pretend to accept Karl’s employment and go directly from Miatelsk to Riga. What do you think of this approach?"

"I'm afraid I can't hide it from Karl X." Arvid Widenberg shook his head. He played for Karl X for many years and knew the king's shrewdness and toughness. Ordinary people tremble even when talking in front of him, let alone cheating.

"Moreover, no one can guarantee that Karl X will let the mercenaries go to Riga for rest and recuperation, and the most likely thing is that he will directly throw the mercenaries into the battlefield."

Everyone was silent again.

Neither does this, nor does that work. These people who are decisive and determined on weekdays are always looking forward and backward, and hesitant, but this is because they are dealing with a strong man like Karl X, and every step of the plan must be the most meticulous. The plan, otherwise it is very likely to fall short.

At this time, Cheechen suddenly said: "Maybe we don't need to hide from Karl X. We only need to hide from a certain Swedish general who is stationed on the Daugava River, and then ask him to issue a pass to allow us to go to Riga."

Chechen's thoughts made Arvid Widenberg's eyes brighten. Although Cheerchen still thought of the problem too simplistically, such as such a large-scale transit, it is impossible for Karl X to not ask, but he provided Alvid Wedenberg with a new idea.

He asked King Jan Kazimierz about the Swedish generals who are now in Lithuania with Karl X.

King Jan Kazimierz named them one by one. When the old man talked about General Robert Douglas, Alvid Wiedenberg happily said to Christina: "Your Majesty, God bless you."

"Yes, God bless you," Christina repeated with a smile.

General Robert Douglas, he is also one of the Queen’s supporters.

One of the most difficult problems is solved, and other problems are solved as a matter of course.

When the plan was finally perfected, the sky was already dark.

"It's getting late, I think everyone will take a break first. Later the waiter will bring dinner, and everyone will have a full meal." King Jan Kazimierz said happily.

"It's better to be respectful than fate." Everyone said in unison.

After dinner, King Jan Kazimierz and Queen Ludwig went out.

As the supreme of the Republic, the king has to deal with more than this.

Christina, Chechen, Arvid Widenberg, and Prince Boguslav stayed in the restaurant.

When Prince Boguslav waited until the king and queen disappeared behind the door, he raised his head, threw his loose fist-curved wig behind his back, and slammed the heels of his shoes ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then he was energetic. Walk towards Christina.

"Your Majesty, I can't believe my eyes... Ah, no! When I heard from Count Arvid Wiedenberg that you are coming to Warsaw, I couldn't believe my ears. ."

As he said that, he reached out and tried to hold Christina's jade hand.

"And what makes me even more gratified is that the queen, your demeanor is still the same, and the jade looks more like the goddess of Venus. God!"

Boguslav held his chest with his other hand, as if his heart was about to jump out.

Although Christina didn't like the prince, he is now his biggest provider of mercenaries, so the queen asked Boguslav to hold her hand and kiss her as she wished.

"Prince, before the all-knowing and almighty God, you and I are just ordinary people, so I don't dare to call them goddesses." Christina said politely: "But hearing your praise to me still makes me very happy, although I still You won’t fail to hear that your prince’s false praise is just a reflection of court etiquette and believe it to be true."

Boguslav was overwhelmed by Christina's natural sound, and he leaned his head towards Christina. His awkward eyes flashed sweet, sharp, and hot at the same time in front of Christina.

Under the blazing gaze, Christina's heart burst into anger.

Boguslav who has made an inch!

She could tolerate Boguslav kissing her hand, but that was already the limit.

"His Royal Highness, I heard in Rome that you and Princess Ann are married. This really makes me happy."

Christina's words are like a basin of cold water pouring on Boguslav's head. He narrowed his gaze, then bowed his head slightly to salute, and then stepped out.
