The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

The warm sunlight penetrated through the cold winter clouds to illuminate everything, trees bloomed with new buds, and fresh seedlings emerged from the fields moistened by rain and snow. On the occasion of returning to the earth in spring, beautiful hope is also born in people's hearts.

For the people of the Republic of Poland, this is a year to be celebrated. Because in this year, the "flood" that had ravaged the Republic for four years finally faded. Karl X, the foreign monarch who single-handedly triggered a cruel war and turned the rich and small Polish lands into scorched earth, died, paying his blood debts for his life.

In Jutland, due to the lag of news, the Polish-Denmark coalition led by Stefan Czarnetski did not get any good news for the first time.

But the soldiers of the coalition are also full of joy, because they have their own victories.

Stefan Czarnetski, the most capable commander in Polish history, commanded the army and expelled Karl X's army from Jutland. In this battle, the Swedish army was killed and wounded more than two thousand people, while the loss of the coalition forces was less than one thousand.

Natalie, who played under Stefan Czarnetski, participated in the battle personally. Especially when the Swedish army burned the pontoon on the island of Ars to block the pursuit of the coalition forces, Natalie shouted "loyalty and bravery are our strongest armor" and immediately jumped into the water. It is always reflected in everyone's hearts.

After the war, General Stefan Czarnetsky gave Natalie a captured Swedish general's sword.

"Poland did not perish

As long as we breathe

Poland will not perish

Raise the sword and take back the lost ground

Go forward, go forward, Czarnetski

From Poland to Denmark

Under your leadership

We will be like family

We cross the Vistula River,

Cross the Warta River

Become a true Polish

You have told us

How to win

Go forward, go forward, Czarnetski

End the Swedish occupation

In order to defend our motherland

We will return from crossing the sea

Go forward, go forward, Czarnetski

The father said excitedly to his daughter:

Listen, our soldiers

Beat the drum of war

Go forward, go forward, Czarnetski. "

In the temporary camp of the coalition forces, soldiers sang a song composed by a noble poet for Stefan Czarnetsky. Their voices are majestic and impassioned.

"The Swedes will be defeated!" An old soldier with white beard and hair said to the young boys sitting around, "You have also seen that the Swedes are good at defending the fort, or at every step. But they have never They dare not fight with us. They are terribly afraid of the Polish cavalry. They dare to attack only when they are confident that they have an advantage in numbers. Even so, they often lose their troops. The Danes don’t have cavalry like us, so they can’t stop them. Living with the attacks of the Swedish devils, but in Lithuania, where the mountains are high and dense, that’s why they were given a chance to be fierce."

"It's true!" several young boys agreed loudly.

These young men are all 18 or 9 years old. They are at the best time in their lives. They are strong, courageous, and impulsive at the same time.

The old soldier said again: "Why are the Swedish devils greedy for our country, because they live a life of eating and drinking blood. Their land is famous for being barren, and even the nobles can't eat bread, so they have to grind pine **** into pancakes. It makes their mouths full of rosin. Some poor people who can’t eat sausages search for food by the sea, and eat whatever the waves hit. Their kings and prime ministers often fight for delicious food. It is a group of terrible rascals, It's worse than the inferior people in our country, but who made them believe in heresy? Because heresy is more hateful than cults, so even the Tatars have plenty of horse meat, but sometimes they can't smell any fresh meat all year round. Taste, they are always hungry, unless it's luck to get a good net."

"Well said, well said." The boys yelled again.

The old soldier was about to compose a few more words from the Swedes, when he saw Natalie approaching on horseback.

The old soldier hurriedly stood up. He walked to Natalie's mount and greeted her: "Mistress, please accept the greeting from an veteran."

Natalie looked at the old man, but her memory was vague, she could not remember the old man's name.

"you are?"

The old soldier took a step closer. He took Natalie's hand and kissed it.

"You don't recognize me. But I will always remember you. In the battle of Als, my horse was shot by a Swedish devil's musket. A Swedish halberd wanted to take my life. You saved me."

Natalie still didn't think about it, because in the fierce battle, everyone must ensure a high degree of concentration.

"You don't have to be like this, this is what I should do." She had to say so.

The old soldier expressed his gratitude again and again, and he took Natalie's hand and kissed it again.

"Countess, are you going?"

"General Çarnetsky summoned me." Natalie said.

An expression of anxiety appeared on the face of the old soldier. He took a step back and made way-he was blaming himself for disrupting Natalie's military affairs.

"Please forgive me. I don't know, Countess."

Natalie smiled gently: "Well, it's not very urgent military affairs."

The young men looked at Natalie’s back and kept saying: "A kind lady! A respectable nobleman! I really can’t find anyone more kind than him with a lantern! She has a golden figure. Heart! Pure gold that is not adulterated. For her, I am willing to shed blood and sacrifice. I don’t know who has such good luck to marry such a wife..."

The old soldier patted these hairy boys on the back of the head.

"The husband of the Countess is also a great character. Alvar Chechen-a legendary mercenary, the Earl of the Republic. Heh! Only such a character is worthy of Lady Natalie."

"Then they must be harmonious and very happy." A young man said enviously, touching the back of his sore head.

"Of course." The veteran said.

The commander did look for Natalie. But it's not a business, but a private business.

When Natalie walked into the camp, Stefan Czarnetsky said to Natalie: "Natalie, I received a letter from the queen. The content is about your husband Chechen of."

Old Master Stanislaw Potocki told Chechen in Stockholm and Natalie asked him when he would go back. In fact, this was what Queen Ludvik told him to say. At that time, Natalie had not forgiven Chechen, and the letter in the hands of General Stefan Czarnetsky was still on the way. But Queen Ludvika was convinced that her letter would definitely change Natalie's mind, so she told a little lie.

When the content of the letter was about Cheer Chen, Natalie's face changed immediately.

She bit her lip without saying a word.

Stefan Çarnetski noticed the change in Natalie's expression, so he asked the girl: "Natalie, tell me something in your heart, what do you think of Cheerchen now? Are you still angry with him?"

"God knows, I don't think about anything now!" The girl replied stiffly, turning her head over.

Seeing Natalie's stubbornness, Stefan Czarnetsky shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps I shouldn't ask more, but I want to know what you think in your heart. Hi! Let me just say it, the queen told me that Cheor Chen has made an enduring credit for the Republic in Riga."

Natalie put her head aside.

She made up for one mistake one at a time, and she was tired of Cheerchen's repetition.

The soldier continued: "I understand that you are resenting Chechen for letting go of Prince Boguslav. At that time, it was the words I asked Team Leader Mikhav Vorodjavsky to say to you. Frankly Said, I only considered the interests of the Republic, but did not consider Cheer Chen's personal feelings. This is my mistake. As a general soldier, I should have bluntly admonished the king and should not fake the hands of others."

After hearing the respected Stefan Czarnetsky blame herself, Natalie finally changed her mind.

"No, my lord. You did nothing wrong. I thought I could turn my husband into a patriot, but I was wrong. He doesn't love the country that gave him bread."

After speaking, Natalie actually shed tears.

She began to blame herself again.

Stefan Czarnetsky was embarrassed when he saw this. He called Natalie over today, but to resolve the conflict between her and Chechen, instead of watching her cry.

He quickly picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Natalie.

"Look at this. We should be thankful. Fortunately, Cheerchen chose to forgive Prince Boguslav. You don't know what earth-shattering things he and Boguslav have done."

Natalie took the letter.

Looking at it, her eyes widened unbelievably.

Then, joy transcended all emotions.

"Tao becomes flesh!" Natalie said in surprise.

"Yes, I can't believe it too. Prince Boguslav sent troops and Chechen helped. They helped Queen Christina of Sweden set a fire in the backyard of Karl X and burned the war on the Swedes. Now, Sweden is defeated, we are victorious."

Natalie's cheeks were flushed, and her heart was obviously excited.

Burning the flames of war to the land of the Swedes is something that many Poles dream of; and victory is everyone's dream.

Seeing this, Stefan Çarnetski took advantage of the heat to hit the railroad: "So how mysterious is the will of God. If Prince Boguslav is not pardoned, then his army will be the enemy of the Republic, but now, He has become a hero of the Republic. And Chechen, I have to say, as far as the moment is concerned, he is doing the right thing."

For the moment.

This word reveals Stefan Czarnetski's truest thoughts.

Stefan Çarnetsky has always believed that pardoning the sinful but rich and powerful traitors is like smoking opium: it will make people feel exhilarating and refreshing for a while; but the price of this comfort is yours. The body and mind were constantly corroded, and finally turned into a walking dead.

But now it's done, and now the soldier shoulders the important task of persuading Natalie to return to Cheerchen. How can he say these things to the contrary?

Then, Stefan Çarnetski said many good things about Chechen, and quoted the motto of "The prodigal son will not change his money"...

These words finally worked on Natalie.

She said to the soldier: "May God forgive them both, especially the one who shed blood for the country in Sweden..."

"Yes, yes. That's it." Czarnetsky's general smiled. He stroked his thick white beard and said to Natalie: "But Natalie, God's forgiveness is not enough. After returning to Warsaw this time, you should also return to Cheerchen. You are his wife. , The wife should be the guiding light of the husband, so that he will avoid detours and wrong paths..."

From the big tent of General Stefan Czarnetsky, it was already the time when the sun was setting, and the sunset glowed in the sky, casting a crimson shadow on the vast plain. And in the orange sky, the first batch of bright stars have flashed. The crescent moon hung in the night sky, like a curved silver sickle.

Natalie drove her horse forward slowly, until she could see Daying's Yuanmen from a distance, and then she held the reins.

Soon, she will leave here and return to Warsaw-the army has granted her a vacation so that she can be reunited with Cheerchen who has returned.

At this time, countless bonfires have been lit in the coalition camp, like the projection of the stars in the sky on the ground.

Natalie was thinking along the way.

"Do I really be too strict with him." Natalie asked herself, "But is patriotism really that difficult? Master Soldier told me not to be a **** in everything, so I don't have to think about Cheechen's adventure this time. For Christina, I don’t want to think about whether he would be willing to destroy his family so much for the Republic and sell all his wealth if he changes another person, but..."

Natalie shook her head.

A sad expression appeared on her face again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The so-called deep love, stern responsibility, Natalie is so decisive to Cheerchen, it is not because she loves him so much.

"God, how can I change my husband." Natalie asked the omnipotent God.

Natalie just stood on her horse like this.

Suddenly, the sad expression on Natalie's face disappeared, and it was replaced by a great enlightenment.

Natalie began to mutter to herself with more and more excitement: "Yes, yes. They must have tempted Cheerchen. There is nothing good to be with a group of foreigners. They will not educate Cheerchen's love. The Republic only teaches him selfishness...and his Uncle Piedro, who is so profitable! He mixes with Jews and does everything for money...I can't control them, but I can't tolerate them. They urged Cheerchen...I want to understand, everything is their fault! That's it! The so-called "close to Zhuzhe" and "close to ink" are black, as long as Cheerchen and the virtuous Poles stay here instead of those foreigners. Together, he will definitely change to the good side. Really, a problem that others can figure out as soon as they think about it, but I am a fool who has not figured it out until now. Okay! I know what I should do."

At this moment, Natalie had a clear expression on her face.

General Stefan Çarnetsky did not expect, Queen Ludvika did not expect, and everyone did not expect that Natalie would blame Chechen’s companions and think that It is because Cheerchen is often surrounded by a group of foreign talents that prevents him from being patriotic with himself.

And this is undoubtedly just digging into the corner.

The expression on the girl's face became more and more holy, and more and more solemn like a guardian.

She religiously drew a cross on her chest and kissed the cross hanging on her chest.
