"Guys, we can''t go to Sweden for the time being."

    In a grove outside the town of vidava, Pedro said to the officers of the mercenary regiment who had been called back.

    At this time, all the officers of the mercenary Corps such as yelishei, Xie Miao, Oksana, warwarwara and salbon were present, while Viscount Hessen and mamei were not among them, and father sparsokukotsky was not present.

    However, no one expressed any doubts about this. It was not unusual that some officers could not attend the meeting because of him.

    Yelishei and Ingrid and others looked at each other and looked puzzled when they heard Pedro say so.

    They had already assembled outside the town of vidava with their troops and horses, and set off immediately after Pedro''s banquet. But now, Pedro said he couldn''t go for the time being.

    "What happened? Deputy Colonel Pedro and Deputy Colonel bakhte." yelishei asked on behalf of the people.

    Bachit, who was standing next to Pedro, stood up when he heard yelisi''s question.

    "It''s all my fault, it''s all my fault," bachit said guiltily. "I killed hrubeni and Chablis."

    Ingrid screamed "ah".

    "Is it the mayor, helubeni, and the manor owner of Chablis manor, bock Chablis?"

    "Yes, it''s them. These guys are crazy. They want to seize the bread left by the regiment commander after you leave, and turn us into serfs. I know I''m angry, but I killed them in front of everyone. I wanted to..."

    Bachit would have continued, but Pedro interrupted him.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, although helubeni and Chablis made a mistake first, bachit killed the nobles in disregard of the law and was still in public. I think a judge will send someone to arrest him soon, and there will be nothing waiting for him except the gallows."

    After hearing this, the people were somewhat dejected and sympathetic.

    As the deputy head of the mercenary regiment, bashit rarely participated in the battle since the Warsaw battle, but it is obvious that he took the refugees to open up wasteland and build new canals in vidava, making contributions to the development of vidava. Moreover, bakhte is sincere, honest and good at fighting injustice for the poor. This excellent character also makes people very fond of him.

    "Deputy commander Pedro, let''s take deputy commander bakhte to Sweden. He can''t be left in vidava." Sal pleaded with Pedro.

    "Yes, to Sweden."

    "This is the best way."

    "I agree."

    Salburn''s proposal was endorsed by many mercenary Corps officers.

    But bachit himself disagreed.

    He said, "everyone, thank you for your kindness. But I can''t go. As soon as I go, I will flee from sin. Those shameless nobles and officials will be able to confiscate the land left to me by the regimental commander in good faith."

    As he said this, bachit showed an expression like a saint.

    Obviously, when he killed hrubeni and Chablis, bachit had already put life and death aside.

    Yelishei and others turned their attention to Pedro. Smart people like Oksana expected that since Pedro brought bachit, he would not watch him die.

    Sure enough, Pedro said, "everyone, for the present, there is only one way to save bachit''s life."

    "What way!" the crowd asked in unison.

    "Go to Warsaw and ask the king," said Pedro.

    When elishey heard Pedro''s words, his hope was like a deflated balloon.

    "It''s useless, it''s useless." yelishei shook his head and said, "the commander has lost the favor of Jan kazimiz. The king won''t help bakhte."

    Others think the same.

    Pedro was pleased with the distrust and disgust shown by everyone to King Jan kazimiz, because as long as everyone had such an idea, it would be much easier for him to convince everyone.

    "Everybody!" Pedro raised his voice. "I''m not really kneeling down to beg for forgiveness, but using this to beg."

    Then Pedro patted the saber at his waist.

    The king was coerced by force to accept his request - Pedro''s meaning could not be clearer.

    Bachit didn''t expect that Pedro, who didn''t deal with him very well, would say such words in order to save himself. He was moved and excited. He opened his mouth several times but didn''t know what to say.

    For a moment, the grove was silent. Only the "rustle" of snow on the canopy.

    Even yelishei, the loudest screamer just now, stopped talking - it was because Pedro''s advice was too bold and reckless.

    After a while, yelishei opened his mouth.

    "I wonder if we''ll send someone to Sweden to ask the head for instructions?"

    Undoubtedly, yelishei believed that such an important decision was taken by Cherchen - although it was suspected of ignoring Pedro''s authority as deputy head.

    As for yelishei''s words, Pedro could have prevaricated with the words "when Cherchen Lin left, he gave me the full power of the mercenary regiment", but he didn''t do so.

    Because Pedro knew that there were not a few mercenaries who had the same ideas as yelishei. If they refuse by tough means, they will inevitably be convinced. The next thing he needs to do is to put all the people of the mercenary regiment into it.

    "Yeltsin''s suggestion is certainly good." Pedro first affirmed Yeltsin''s words, and then began to deny them:

    "But Chechen is now in Sweden. It''s freezing and snowy. We can''t send someone here for a month or two. It''s enough time for those corrupt officials to arrest bachit ten times. Do we just stay in vidava and let them catch bachit for trial and wait to die? Or resist the law by force and wait for the king''s army to encircle and suppress us?"

    Pedro''s words silenced elishea.

    After refuting yelishei, Pedro said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a saying that people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden. My nephew, why your regiment leader is not promoted and rewarded repeatedly is not because he is too talkative and kind. Therefore, the king doesn''t take him seriously at all. Look at Christophe oberlinski, Anjie Carol goodzlinski and bogus RAF raziweu, which of them did not betray the Republic, but in the end? Each of them was forgiven by King Jan kazimiz. "

    The practical example given by Pedro made everyone nod and say yes. Yes, the king could forgive even the traitor, but he severely reprimanded Cherchen for his little mistake and asked him to think behind closed doors. It''s not because Cherchen is too kind to ask for more.

    Just when everyone silently agreed with Pedro''s statement that "crying children have milk to eat", mamay and Viscount Hesse took several people into the woods together.

    "Deputy commander Pedro," said mamay, "now the people in vidava town are excited. The people under deputy commander bachit are shouting to go to Warsaw to plead their grievances, and we can''t stop them."

    With that, Ma Mai pointed to an old farmer with a bent waist behind him, "these are their representatives."

    Bachit recognized the old man. Bachit married his children seven or eight years ago. At that time, Cherchen and they had just returned from cromea.

    The old farmer came to bachit. He knelt down, took bachit''s hand in his bony hands, put it on his lips and kissed it.

    "Bachit, you''ve been protecting us. Now it''s time for us to protect you," said the old farmer.

    Bachit burst into tears.

    The old farmer and several other representatives walked up to yelishei and others. They also fell to their knees, and then begged: "save bachit, save bachit."

    Everyone was moved.

    Therefore, the armed forces went to Warsaw to seek forgiveness for bakhte, which became the unanimous goal of all people.

    The soldiers of the mercenary regiment returned to the town. The roads originally guarded by Viscount Hesse and the Cossacks of mamay were reopened. Those irrelevant people were driven out of the town. They were told that the mercenary regiment would go to Warsaw to intercede for bachit. All the nobles and people with a sense of justice could support and support their just move.

    At night, black smoke came out of the chimneys of the blacksmiths, and bright light came out of the open workshop doors and the countless holes in the cow bladder on the windows. Young, middle-aged and old men stood in small groups. The hammers of the blacksmiths in the workshop beat rhythmically, and the clanging sound of blacksmithing spread all over the world all around.

    Everyone has a long pole in his hand, some of which are equipped with sickles, and some of which are poked with spearheads. The busy blacksmiths in the workshop are in a hurry to forge these sickles and spearheads - these are the weapons of the militia.

    The manor was temporarily changed into a headquarters. Pedro and the officers planned the route to Warsaw. Yelisi and others put forward many suggestions, but Pedro rejected them for various reasons. Finally, the route he chose was the rendezvous route agreed with field marshal lubaumatsky.

    When Pedro asked if Ingrid had enough food, grass and gunpowder, father sparsokukotsky broke in.

    The priest looked flustered. Such a flustered expression appeared on father spasokukotsky''s face, which Pedro and others had never seen before.

    The reason why father sparsokukotsky was so anxious was that he knew that all the mercenaries would go to Warsaw armed to seek "justice" for bachit.

    Does sparsokukotsky sympathize with bakhte? Of course, he sympathizes, but sparsokukotsky strongly disagrees with the mercenary regiment''s armed departure for Warsaw.

    Father sparsokukotsky knew that after the reformers led by the king and queen exiled lubaomatsky and subdued the Conservatives, the king''s strength had grown to the strongest in history. It was absolutely impossible for the king to give in by the mercenary Corps alone; moreover, Cherchen''s wife Natalie was in Warsaw. If King Jan kazimizz ordered Natalie to enlist the mercenary corps, wouldn''t it Can you face her with a sword?

    At that time, the famous mercenary regiment established by Chechen will be destroyed.

    Moreover, father sparsokukotsky also had a sense of loyalty and patriotism in his heart, and he didn''t want the mercenary regiment to meet the king''s sword soldiers.

    "Father, why are you here?" yelishei, who stood nearest to father spasokukotsky, said.

    But father spasokukotsky, who has always been close to yelishei, pushed yelishei away. He went straight to pidro and questioned pidro: "deputy commander pidro, I heard you''re going to lead troops to Warsaw?"

    "It''s to ask the king to pardon bakhte. Father, you should know that deputy commander bakhte killed hrubeni and chabrins because of righteous anger this morning," said Pedro.

    "Of course I know," said father sparsokukotsky anxiously, "of course there is something wrong with hrubeni and Chablis, but we should not use force to seek the king''s pardon for bakhte, and..."

    "And" before father spasokukotsky said anything, Pedro cut it off.

    "So, father, you don''t think that khrubeni and patch deserve to die. Instead, it should be the head of bachit who should pay for their lives?" Pedro said out of context.

    The priest choked for a moment.

    He didn''t expect that Pedro, who was always smiling, would have sharp teeth and sharp mouth. In fact, what he wanted to say was that King Jan kazimiz could not yield to the force of the mercenary Corps. But Pedro led his words to whether he sympathized with hrubeni and Chablis.

    "No, I don''t mean that," the priest explained. "I just think this matter should be handed over to the court for judgment. I believe the law will give bachit a fair judgment."

    "The court will only send him to the gallows," said Pedro.

    If father sparsokukotsky was anxious like a fire at this time, Pedro was a piece of ice, a piece of ice that could not be melted by any flame.

    "Ladies and gentlemen," spasokukotsky saw that he could not convince Pedro. He turned to others, fedot, Ingrid and yelisi, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you believe me, please believe in the king and the law again. I will go to qinstohova to see father koldzki with the king. He is highly respected. I believe that with him, the case of bachit''s murder will be judged fairly by the judge."

    "Father, it''s not that we don''t believe you or father kordezki. It''s just that over the years, we''ve been used to the king''s dishonesty and bullying. We really can''t believe him." fedot shook his head.

    "Everybody! Do you want the mercenary regiment established by Cherchen to be destroyed once?! the king will not give in, we will flow into a river of blood!" father sparsokukotsky said angrily.

    "Enough, father," Pedro interrupted spasokukotsky.

    "If you don''t want to be with us, we won''t be forced. But I hope you don''t waver here," said Pedro, winking at Viscount Hesse.

    The Viscount knows.

    He secretly made a sign of summons to a guard outside the door.

    "Father, I''m sorry."

    The viscount and the guard tied the priest''s hand, and then dragged father sparsokukotsky out in the priest''s shouting and swearing.

    "Everybody, we will win, because God is with us," said Pedro.

    "God is with us."
