The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 216: Rift 2
Father Spasokukotsky left the mercenary group after dinner. He put on the gray robe back, and did not ride a horse, just the long spear he used to be on his back.
After leaving the camp of the mercenary regiment, the priest finally reached the gate of Werner by asking passers-by all the way. Sitting by the gate of the city were four soldiers with high helmets. They piled their muskets against the roots of the city wall, while they leaned lazily on the halberds. Occasionally, one or two people walked past the gate without interrogating them.
Father Spasokukotsky adjusted his robe and walked towards the city gate. But he was stopped at the gate of the city.
"Where are you going, priest." a soldier asked.
"My boy, I'm going to Miatersk." Father Spasokukotsky replied. Of course he would not say that he was going to Viri.
"Oh, is it?" The soldier smiled playfully, with an expression of disbelief in Father Spasokukotsky.
He circled around Father Spasokukotsky, then pointed to the spear behind the priest and asked: "The priest does not hold the cross and uses the spear instead?"
"Oh, boy. Now there are wars in all parts of Lithuania, and the roads are not peaceful. I used this spear to defend myself." Father Spasokukotsky explained.
But this soldier was not so easy to believe what the priest said. In these days, many Pavel Sapega’s people disguised as priests and escaped nobles came to Werner to inquire about the news, and his officer ordered them to pay attention to these two types of people. This is why the other soldiers who went out of the city did not stop, but Father Spasokukotsky was stopped.
Next, the soldiers ordered Father Spasokukotsky to recite certain passages from the "New Testament" in order to test whether Spasokukotsky was a real priest and not a spy. Of course, this is not difficult for Spasokukotsky, he can say that the "New Testament" is back-to-back, and he passed the test very smoothly.
Seeing that Spasokukotsky was a real priest, the soldiers' attitude towards him took a 360-degree turn. They reverently greeted the priest and asked about what Father Spasokukotsky did when he went to Miatersk. When they heard that Father Spasokukotsky was assigned to a parish there by the church, these soldiers kindly persuaded Spasokukotsky not to go. Because according to them, there is a land occupied by heretics (Janush and Boguslav are both Calvinist Protestants), which is contrary to the will of God.
Father Spasokukotsky did not expect that there would be people in the Yanush army who were full of dissatisfaction with the two brothers. This also shows that the alliance between Janusz and the Swedes is not as strong as imagined, because small cracks have appeared within them. As a result, Father Spasokukotsky confirmed the correctness of a certain agreement reached between Chechen and Mihavu.
"Thank you, children. But it is God's will for me to preach. The evil spirits will not be able to defeat the army of God. I believe I will lead the lost lambs back to the right path." Father Spasokukotsky Said piously.
These words aroused the unanimous admiration of the soldiers. The two soldiers even took out two Taylors and gave them to the priest to pray for them. Because they believe that priests who are so fearless and difficult to pass the gospel of God must have divine powers.
Father Spasokukotsky refused, and put the four Taylors in his pocket. Then he bid farewell to the soldiers and went out of the city.
The inside and outside of Werner are two different worlds. The lights inside the city are bright, but the outside is dark and silent. The priest walked out of Werner for less than two miles, and there was already pitch darkness all around, with only moonlight shining on the ground.
Five miles from Werna, Father Spasokukotsky finally saw the first village. But this village has long left only a piece of ruined walls. Behind the broken wall, green eyes poke out from time to time. It may be a wolf, or it may be a hungry wild dog. But no matter what it was, the priest did not dare to be careless. He lit a torch, took off the spear behind him, and frightened the green-eyed master with these two weapons.
The owner of those green eyes also seemed to know that the priest was not so easy to deal with. It slowly backed away and disappeared into the night.
Father Spasokukotsky finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, a zip line fell from the sky and accurately wrapped the priest's neck. As soon as the zip line was tightened, Father Spasokukotsky flew upside down and lay on the ground.
Although the neck was wrapped by the zip line, the person who threw the zip line didn't seem to want Spasokukotsky's life. The priest's neck was not tightened, and he was able to breathe smoothly.
Because of this, Spasokukotsky grabbed the zip line around his neck with one hand, took a dagger from his boots with one hand, and cut the rope in just a few strokes.
The first thing Spaso Kukotsky, who stood up on the ground, picked up the spear that had fallen on the ground, and pointed the spear in the direction where the zip line had just flown.
Soon, two people jumped out of the darkness. Both of them were dressed in Tatar costumes, with their faces covered. They were holding tatar sabers in their hands and tatar bows on their backs, and they looked at Father Spasokukotsky with enthusiasm.
Father Spasokukotsky never expected to meet Tatars here. Under normal circumstances, the Crimean Tatars and their servants rarely go deep into the interior of the Republic of Poland to looting~lightnovelpub.net~ But now that they have encountered it, Father Spasokukotsky also Can only fight to the death.
"Chiligua, Hawu." One of the Tatars said something to the other companion in words that the priest could not understand. The Tatar glanced at the talking companion, and then began to move. He wanted to move behind Father Spasokukotsky and make a two-sided attack.
How could Father Spasokukotsky let him succeed? With a sweep of the spear in the priest's hand, the Tatar was forced back. Afterwards, the priest made a stab, but was blocked by the Tatars.
The other Tatar also slashed at Father Spasokukotsky with a knife. The priest originally wanted to open the opponent's saber, but he did not expect that the opponent's sword technique was so good that he followed the priest's gun body to stick it up.
Seeing that if he didn't let go, Father Spasokukotsky's finger was about to be cut off with a saber. Unable to do so, Father Spasokukotsky had to let go of his hand and gave up the weapon in his hand.
The spear fell to the ground with a thud. And that Tatar actually changed his trick again, and the original sweep of the knife turned into a smash on the hilt in an instant.
The priest was hit in the chest by the end of the hilt, and he staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground motionless.
When the two Tatars saw Father Spasokukotsky fainted and strangled, they babbled again. The other Tatar stepped forward and wanted to lift Father Spasokukotsky.
At this moment, Father Spasokukotsky suddenly opened his eyes. The Tatar didn't expect Spasokukotsky to pretend to be in a coma, and was taken aback by surprise, and was tossed off the mask on his face by Father Spasokukotsky.
"Fedot! It turned out to be you?" Father Spasokukotsky said in surprise and anger. He didn't expect that it was his own person who robbed him.
