The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

At this time, the mayor of Riga, the commander of the city defense, the bishop, and the speaker of the parliament all gathered in the city lord’s mansion. Although they were awakened by the sound of gunfire and cannons at the beginning and didn't know exactly what happened, they were much calmer than Magnus. Especially the city defense commander Calvin, he not only dressed neatly, but also brought 80 Swedish Musketeers-this is the largest force he can gather in such a short period of time.

But the Governor of Riga, who should have become the backbone of everyone, was terrified at this time. Magnus is good at communication and diplomacy, but military is not his strong point. Let him talk and laugh at the negotiating table or the wine table, that is his strength, but he can face the shadow of the sword, the shadow of the sword, and the rain of guns. He is like a child.

"My lord, the officer I sent came back and reported that the mercenaries who attacked Riga were under the banner of Christina. Obviously this is a long-planned conspiracy. Both you and your majesty have been deceived." Wen said.

After listening to Calvin's report, Magnus became even more panicked. His face was sallow, and big beads of sweat slid across his gully face and waded across his neck, flowing into the neckline.

"Conspiracy, conspiracy! Why didn't anyone find out early? Why didn't anyone see the abnormality? What do you all eat?" Magnus yelled, waving his arms as he walked back and forth.

He walked like flying, and the candles of the burning candles in the candlestick swayed from side to side with him.

Hearing Magnus' complaint, Calvin, the commander of the city defense, became angry.

He understood that Magnus was shirking responsibility again.

Although the first thing Magnus de la Gardia thinks of is to shirk responsibility no matter what bad things happen, it has made Riga officials accustomed to it, but at this time, Magnus didn’t think so much. Organizing defenses to repel the enemy's invasion can not help but make Calvin as a soldier frustrated.

Regardless of whether Magnus was a relative of the emperor and his own superior, Calvin retorted in front of everyone: "Your Excellency, it was you who went to welcome the mercenaries that day. If no abnormalities were found, it was also yours. Fault!"

Magnus stopped.

For a while, his face was terribly scary.

This is the first time that Magnus has been so ruthlessly rebutted in person.

Calvin had already given up. Anyway, everyone here might not be able to see the sun tomorrow, so why would he be afraid of Magnus.

Calvin looked at Magnus without any fear, and even suppressed Magnus's gaze.

Suddenly, the flash of a bomb exploded from outside the window. A musketeer whose complexion was blackened by gunpowder ran in while dragging his musket.

"Commander," the musketeer reported: "The enemy's flags have floated on the east, south, and west walls. Our men are fighting the enemy in Chapel Street. The soldiers are almost out of bullets. We are going to get close. It's a hand-to-hand fight."

"God!" the Bishop of Riga wailed.

As the name suggests, Church Street is the street in front of Riga Cathedral. And that was the bishop's dojo, and it was only half a block away from the Governor's Mansion.

The enemy will be here soon.

"What to do? What to do?"

Magnus de la Gardia was completely broken. He squatted on the ground and clutched his head, tears flashed in his eyes.

Calvin never wanted to look at the cowardly fellow again. He snorted coldly, then said that he was going to live and die with his soldier, and then he held the soldier's hand and walked outside.

The mayor of Riga also followed. He was once a soldier, and his blood is not yet cold.

The bishop and the speaker of the parliament remained in the governor's palace. When the mayor and the city defense commander left, the speaker stepped forward and helped Magnus up.

"Governor, don't be discouraged. Now that the gate to the north has not been occupied by the enemy, we escaped from there. Let's go to your Majesty and move the soldiers." The speaker counseled.

But the speaker's words did not cheer up Magnus at all.

What about escaping? The bishop and the speaker are religious figures and civil servants, and they have no responsibility to keep the soil. But he is different. As the governor of Riga, he changed hands of the kingdom's capital in just one night, and his brother-in-law, Karl X, would not let him go.

Moreover, just as he was looking for a scapegoat, Karl X also needed a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Magnus became even more discouraged.

"Let's go, leave me alone. Let's go." Magnus waved to the two of them.

At this time, gunshots and explosions were getting closer and closer to the Governor's Mansion.

The bishop and the speaker looked at each other, then sighed at the same time.

Then, the two left the governor's palace, abandoned Magnus and left.

Magnus, who became a lonely family, had an unprecedented clear mind at this time. He went up to the second floor and returned to his room.

Magnus's wife was hiding behind the big closet in fear at this time with the child in her arms. Seeing her husband coming back, he asked with a trembling voice what was going on outside.

"It will be calm soon." Magnus comforted his wife~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then, he asked his wife to take out the gorgeous dress that he wore when he went to the ball.

Although he didn't understand what his husband was going to do in this critical moment, Magnus's wife complied.

Magnus meticulously put the dress and accessories on his upper body, as if he was going to the ball.

"Magnus?" The governor's wife looked at her husband's unusual behavior, and was even more frightened.

Magnus touched his wife's face tenderly.

"It will be fine," he said.

After speaking, he went out.

As he descended the stairs, Magnus said to himself: "I am the governor of Riga and the brother-in-law of His Majesty Carl X. Anyone can escape and surrender, but I can't. I will be the rebels. The brave ones in front of me will let them know the aristocratic character of Magnus."

Magnus went down to the hall.

At this time, some servants and maids in the Governor's Mansion were rushing for the property in the Governor's Mansion. These people were in awe of Magnus on weekdays, and completely ignored his existence at this time.

Magnus didn't go to see them either, he walked straight out of the gate and came to the fountain in front of it.

The water in the pool vibrated constantly, emitting waves and water halos. Magnus put his fingers into the water, feeling the temperature was right.

"Catch him! He is Magnus de la Gardia."

Magnus heard someone yelling, and he was familiar with the voice, as if it were his own city defense officer.

"Can't be a prisoner!"

This was Magnus' last thought before jumping into the water.

After that, he slowly sank into the water.

After about a minute or so, Magnus leaped out of the water.

it's too cold!

Magnus sneezed.
