In the cold dungeon of the castle, Mihau and several other inmates sat silent by the iron fence at the entrance of the dungeon. Two days ago, the sound of gunfire came from outside the castle from time to time. At the most intense time, Mihavu could even hear the shouts of the soldiers. In the noisy shouts, Mihav magically distinguished the howls of the team he led. Most of the soldiers in this team led by Mihav came from the Ukrainian region, and their accents were very different from those of Lithuania. Moreover, these soldiers have participated in the battle with Khmelnitsky, and their battle cry is even more murderous.

Whenever he heard such a familiar cry, Mihau would excitedly say to Anjay and the others, hey, this is my soldier! I heard their voices. They must have come to save us.

At this time, Anjay and other inmates would hold up the "little man" knight and let him look out through the iron fence of the dungeon. Since the opening of the iron fence is small and there is a wall outside, Mihau can actually see nothing but the corners, but this gives everyone hope after all.

The following day, the roar of artillery overwhelmed the gunfire and the shouts of the warriors. The hearts of everyone were stunned, because they all knew that there was no artillery among the weapons they brought, and the only people who might use artillery were Yanush Laziviu. The musket, saber, and spear will be vulnerable to the artillery: a Mikari musket can penetrate the bodies of two or three people at close range, and if the opponent wears armor, it may only kill one person. But a three-pound cannon can easily penetrate a wall of ten people from 300 meters away.

Sure enough, when the sound of cannons outside the castle stopped, the outside began to become silent. Occasionally there will be a crisp gunshot, but the sound is unusually sparse.

Everyone knew that outsiders' attempts to rescue themselves had failed. Those soldiers and officers who were loyal to them were either killed or captured by Yanush's minions. And they also lost hope of regaining freedom.

Although there is still a way to be free and to wear red and purple, no one would choose this way. Because once you walk this way, you will be ashamed of yourself and your family.

"Anzu, I'm really sorry. If you didn't listen to me, you would not fall to where you are today if you followed Pavel Sapega. Maybe you still have a chance to deal with the thief of Yanush. "Mihavu said to Anjay apologetically.

Hearing Mihavu's words, Andrzej picked up a hard straw on the ground. He squeezed the straw in his hand, and then unscrewed it from the middle, as if he had unscrewed the neck of a traitor.

"Now if I have a chance, I will also twist the head of that traitor." Anjay said bitterly.

At this time, Colonel Jerzy Khaletski comforted everyone and said, "Everyone, we are not at the end of the world. Although the resistance has stopped, most people just succumbed to Yanush Laziviu’s prostitution and dare I was so angry that I didn't dare to speak. Think about the dinner that day. How many people really supported Yanush, the traitor? Didn't even his cousin, Prince Boguslav support him?"

"This is really weird. I originally thought that a dude like the imperial horse guard would be a cousin who would have trouble with his cousin, and his other relative, Elector William Frederick, would not also follow the Swedes. Did he invade the Republic? But he didn't do it. Although he didn't openly oppose Yanush, it shows that he and Yanush are not the same." Sigmund Slushka also analyzed.

Sigmund Slushka's words were accepted by everyone.

At this time, the door outside the dungeon was opened. A jailer walked in with the key in his hand. He went straight to the door of the prison where Mihavu and others were, and asked everyone inside: "Who are Mihavr Vorodjavsky and Andrei Kmicic?"

"I am!" the two said in unison.

The jailer looked at the two and nodded.

"Someone came to see you."

Then the jailer went out. After a while, another person came in.

"Cheerchen!"

The sharp-eyed Anjay recognized the person at a glance.

It was Cheerchen. After receiving the grace to keep Mihau and Anjay alive from Prince Yanush, he hurriedly rushed to the dungeon to inform his two friends.

"Anzu, and Mihawu. Are you okay?" Cheerchen asked, clutching the cold iron fence with both hands.

"It's okay," Mihavu replied. He was about to ask how Cheerchen got in, but Anjay suddenly remembered that there is only one kind of person who can enter the dungeon in a neat manner and unharmed, and that is Yanush's follower.

The thought of Cheer Chen not discerning the loyal traitors and serving the traitors, Mihau felt chills. His bushy beard jumped unconsciously with his facial muscles.

"You traitor!" Mihau cursed.

When Mihau called Chechen a traitor, Anjay was amazed. He said to Mihau: "Mihau, what are you talking about? How can Cheerchen be a traitor?"

"Look at his outfit, and then think about it, if he hadn't played for Yanush, how could he come in to see us so unscathed."

After listening to Mihavu's words, Anjay looked up and down Chechen.

"Yes, I'm working for Prince Yanush." ​​Cheechen admitted. He didn't think it was a shame.

"why!"

Listen to Chechen personally admit that Anjay is inexplicably sad and angry.

"Anzu, Prince Yanush is not what you think. He is a patriot and also wants to save this country, although the path is different from yours. He is saving the country by curve." Chechen is Prince Yanush Defense Road. And also thought of a new term for the behavior of Prince Yanush.

"Save the country, how to save it? By surrendering to the Swedes. Yanush doesn't want to save anyone, he only cares about his own interests." Mihau sneered at the so-called curve to save the country.

Cheerchen shook his head. He explained the theory of Prince Yanush that the snipes and clams compete for the benefit of the fisherman with Mihavu and Anjay.

"I think what the prince said makes sense." Cheerchen concluded.

"You have been deceived by revenge! Yanush promised you to go back to attack Smolensk and fight Yakov. You believed him and were willing to work for him. But when did that prince have a truth, wake up? Wake up, Cheerchen!" Mihau said to Cheerchen aloud after listening to Yanush's absurd theory.

He hopes to wake Cheerchen, but how could Cheerchen, who was brainwashed by Yanush, wake up so easily?

Cheerchen shook his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ and said to Mihau: "Let’s stop arguing, time will prove who is right, Mihau. I came here to tell you good news."

"Except for Yanush's sudden death, otherwise I don't think any news here is good news." Anjay interjected coldly.

"The prince has forgiven your lives. You will be escorted to Fort Devensk, where you will be there until the end of the war." Chechen gave Anjay a sad look. Mihau didn't understand himself, and even Anzu didn't understand himself.

"Then I should really thank Janush for his grace. Even the killing of us is arranged on the Swedes' land, so that our souls can see the day when the Republican army enters their land." Hearing the news, Miha There was no joy on Wu's face, but he doubted Kianush's purpose.

"No. The prince promises that you will be treated in accordance with your status there." Cheer Chen explained further.

But Mihau no longer wanted to listen. He asked Cheorchen a question: Did he and his mercenary group participate in the attack on the resisters outside the castle.

After getting Cheerchen's affirmative reply, Mihau moved away from the iron fence and was silent with his back to Cheerchen. And Anjay shouted that Cheor Chen was a traitor.

Cheerchen didn't even think that his painstaking and loneliness with two friends would be the result of this. He felt inexplicable grief and walked out of the dungeon, holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Mihavu, are our words too serious?" Anjay looked at the door of the dungeon closed and said to the "little man" knight.

After Anjay calmed down, she felt guilty for Cheerchen. Even himself and Mihav had been deceived by Prince Yanush's rhetoric and appearance, not to mention Chechen, who was not deeply involved in the world.

Hearing what Anjay said, Mihavu's body trembled imperceptibly, but said nothing.
