The next two days, Chechen pretended to be very calm, as if nothing had happened. The next night, Chechen told uncle Pedro that he was going to the square to attend the mass held by father sparso kuczky and would come back later.

    In fact, father sparsokuktsky''s mass was held yesterday. He expressed his most sincere and heartfelt thanks to Cherchen for donating such a large amount of money. The priest also made a wooden cross with a twig and asked someone to give it to Chechen. Therefore, whether there will be mass tonight is unknown. However, he was not worried that the lie would be exposed by his uncle. For one thing, Pedro is not interested in religious activities and will certainly not go at night; Second, some of Pedro''s drinkers made an appointment with him this morning and came to their house for a drink in the evening.

    Sure enough, Pedro had no doubt. He just told Cherchen to pay attention to safety in the evening and come back early.

    Che Chen nodded seriously, indicating that he had kept his uncle''s words in mind. After going out, in order not to make Pedro suspicious, Chechen also deliberately walked in the direction of the square. After turning a few corners to make sure that his uncle couldn''t see himself, he turned to the west gate.

    In a cabin under the west wall, other personnel participating in the night attack are making final equipment.

    They are: Mikhail yelinsky, Adam Cole, lukash pavov, Kosa christovsky and lados zaff; Members of the mercenary regiment, Lieutenant Aragon, private shchetsin, hesus and anher.

    Among them, Mikhail was a little aristocrat in a nearby village. His family property was destroyed in the hands of the Cossacks, so he had a gnashing hatred for the Cossacks; Although Adam and lukash were once aristocrats, they both committed serious crimes worthy of hanging. They were supposed to be sentenced to death, but the war saved them. In order to be pardoned, they volunteered to join the death squads. The other two are members of the former urban defense army.

    Among the four members of the mercenary regiment, Aragon assumed the responsibility of commanding the team, while the other three were for the reward of 500 Taylor.

    Mikhail yelinski, with a horse face, picked up a Tatar bow and gently buckled the bow string. The Tatar bow made a dull noise. Mikhail yelinsky nodded with satisfaction. He put his bow back on his body, then took a set of arrow bags and hung them around his waist.

    Adam Cole and lukash pavov also chose the bow as their weapons. Although firearms have replaced bows and arrows as the most lethal individual weapon on the battlefield in this era, many people are still keen on using bows and arrows and despise firearms in relatively backward Poland and tsarist Russia.

    Kosa christovsky and lados zaff inserted two pistols into their belts. As melee weapons, one of them took a dagger and the other a hatchet.

    The three members of the mercenary regiment still use the usual weapons. Some of them are hesus. He is a giant more than two meters tall. He was originally a Grenadier in the regiment. This time he prepared a basket of grenades.

    When Chechen entered the house, the others were almost ready. Adam Cole couldn''t help laughing when he saw that the last member was a half-aged child.

    "Don''t you even have an adult in your mercenary regiment?" Adam Cole mocked wantonly.

    Aragorn glared at Adam Cole, and several other mercenaries glared at him. But Adam Cole still had a careless expression.

    Chechen turned a blind eye to Adam Cole''s ridicule. He took a lock armor on the table and put it on him. Lock armour is lighter than the half body plate armour of the mercenary corps, and has less restrictions on the movement of limbs. It is very suitable for this kind of sneak attack.

    "Oh, I''m still a mute." seeing that Chechen didn''t respond, Adam Cole became more unscrupulous.

    At this time, Che Chen had put on the lock armour and inserted a pistol into his waist.

    "Is it still a baby?" Adam Cole smiled and extended his hand to Chechen''s chin.

    "Stop, you scum." seeing that Adam Coles didn''t know how to restrain, Aragon was finally angry.

    But Aragon was still a step slower, because someone shot faster than him - this person was Chechen himself. Chechen suddenly picked up a pistol on the table and aimed it at Adam Cole''s head. At this time, Adam Cole couldn''t laugh, and his hand was frozen in the air.

    If it were Cherchen when he first came to Smolensk City, he would never have such courage and radicalism. But now, after so many things and the baptism of war, that naive Cherchen has gradually become mature.

    Losers will be grateful for your forgiveness, winners will only laugh at you.

    Chechen doesn''t want to be a loser who forgives the winner. He can only tit for tat.

    "I killed two enemies on the wall with a pistol and one with a halberd. How about you, sir." Chechen said slowly word by word. Ignore the swords and guns of those outlaws.

    At this time, the atmosphere between the two sides has been tense. If one of them can''t be handled well, I''m afraid the team will merge before they leave the city.

    Some people can ignore death. Such people are called brave. But obviously, Adam Cole is not such a person. He can commit a capital crime in his hometown, because those who die are weaker than himself. He made fun of Chechen just to show off himself in the crowd, because he thought that among all these people, the youngest Chechen was the easiest to bully. But once the sheep turned into a tiger, he, Adam Cole, was stunned. When the pistol pointed at his forehead, Adam Cole''s brain was blank, and there was only the empty muzzle in his pupil. At the same time, a numbness rushed from his caudal vertebra to his brain.

    "He didn''t dare to shoot, he didn''t dare to shoot." Adam Cole kept cheering himself up, but he found that he couldn''t convince himself anyway.

    Chechen''s fingers didn''t move, but Adam Cole imagined that Chechen pulled the trigger and his knee trembled.

    "I, I," Adam Cole tried to say, but he couldn''t say anything.

    "Who is the child?" Chechen asked him.

    "You. No, no, it''s me. I''m a child," Adam Cole changed.

    His behavior was despised by even his companions who had stood on his side.

    "All right, Chechen," Aragon said, pressing Chechen''s pistol. "We should start."

    Then he turned to Adam Cole and said, "sorry, our team doesn''t need children."

    No one sympathizes with the weak. Everyone went out of the door in silence. Everyone received a big bag from the guard at the door. It contained 5000 grams of gunpowder, which was used to blow up the tunnel.

    Aragon took two, one of which was originally Adam Cole''s, and now he doesn''t need it.
