"Father, thank you!"

When everyone left the camp, Pedro, who was following Father Spasokukotsky, whispered to Father Spasokukotsky.

When he was sitting at the camp gate eating breakfast this morning and saw the figure of Father Spasokukotsky appearing at the camp gate, Pidro couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed vigorously several times, but Pedro's self-confident priest's "fantasy" has not disappeared, but has become more and more clear.

When Father Spasokukotsky walked past Pidro, he only gave Pidro a cold look. Such cold eyes appearing on the priest, always gentle, is extremely rare, and it also makes Pidro's back chill.

Pidro hurriedly got up and followed Father Spasokukotsky. He didn't even care about breakfast. But he dared not talk to the priest, and he was two bodies behind Father Spasokukotsky when he walked.

When Father Spasokukotsky found Cheerchen and told Cheerchen about his experience during this time, Pidro's heart jumped into his throat. He was afraid that the priest would tell Cheerchen what he had done, although Pidro was confident that he did it for the mercenary group, and for Cheerchen’s bright future. Until now, Pedro still thinks so, but to his companions. After all, it’s a dirty thing to start, and it’s not open and honest, and Cheerchen hasn’t thought that it’s wrong to follow Yanush up to now. If Father Spasokukotsky tells Cheerchen the truth, Cheerchen will not only I would be extremely disappointed with my uncle, and I would have no face to stay with the mercenary group, and would even hurt Ingrid and the others.

But Father Spasokukotsky said nothing, or that he said everything, telling a perfect story.

"You know, Pedro. During the months I was imprisoned in Werner, I was really angry at what you and Yelisei did. Even on the way to Lida Fort, I still wanted to Tell Cheer Chen the truth and let him preside over justice. But I heard a lot and learned a lot along the way. I know it’s not a good time to tell the truth about things to the head. We can talk to Jan Suo anytime now. General Beski and the others are fighting. At this time Cheerchen knows the truth, knowing that you kidnapped me, then the mercenary group's military will be in chaos. In order to maintain the justice and conviction in his heart, the group leader will definitely punish you, then Our mercenary group will fall apart and be over. This is something I don't want to see."

While saying this, Father Spasokukotsky kept staring at Piedro and Yelisei, Ingrid and others, who bowed their heads like students who had done something wrong behind him. Father Spasokukotsky was so embarrassed that everything was for the sake of the mercenary group. Yelisei and the others couldn't help being ashamed of their behavior.

"God, if you give me another chance, I will definitely not do such an unjust thing!" Fedot thought with shame.

"Father, I am very grateful to you, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. Prince Yanush has the support of the Swedes, and he will eventually win. I let Cheerchen follow the victor, what’s wrong with it? So if You will still take Chechen and the mercenary group on the wrong path in the future, and I will still fight against you." Piedro said, looking at Father Spasokukotsky's eyes.

If Father Spasokukotsky’s eyes were as deep as the sea, now Piedro’s eyes are like two **** of flames. He admired the priest's character, but absolutely could not agree with the priest's choice.

"Evil spirits cannot defeat the army of God, and justice will eventually defeat evil. This is not what I said, but God said through my mouth. Pedro, you think about it!"

After speaking, Father Spasokukotsky stopped looking at Pidro, turned and left. Only Pedro standing in place was left.

In this way, the contradiction of the mercenary group was hidden in a strange way, and no one mentioned it again. And Father Spasokukotsky also returned to his post.

He was already the squadron captain of the mercenary regiment when he was in Werner, and now he has only officially arrived. In the squadron, the amiable Father Spasokukotsky soon won the unanimous love of the squadron soldiers, who cordially called Father Spasokukotsky "Father Father".

One month passed like this. At this stage, the two warring parties are still engaged in endless confrontation. In the absence of external forces to break the game, the key to victory lies in which side's food runs out first.

And this external force soon appeared, and it was Alexander Okinsky's side.

Prince Yanush, who had been incapable of attacking Lidarburg for a long time and exhausted his financial resources, finally lowered his noble head and asked Marshal Brahe Wichensburg for help. The latter is clearly undesirable. On the third day after receiving Yanush’s request for help, the seven thousand army led by Brahe Wichensburg drove to Lidaburg and joined Alexander Okinsky’s army. Coming with Marshal Brahe Wichensburg was General Robert Douglas.

Okinski was overjoyed when he finally received support. He has forgotten that he was once an opponent of "Thanks to the help of teachers and suppressed". Instead, he welcomed the arrival of a Swedish marshal and general with the highest courtesy.

"It's great to have the help of the invincible Swedish army. I don't think there is any need to fight, and the rebels will be scared when they hear the two names." Okinsky complimented. .

Although Brahe Wichensburg was very complimented by Okinsky in his heart, he still said seriously and formulaically:

"General Douglas and I are just pawns. Everything depends on the most sacred monarchs of the Swedes, Goths and Vandals, Finland, Estonia, Karelia, Bremen, Verdau, Szczecin, Poland. Melania, Archduke Kashub and Vandria, Duke of Rügen. Lords of Inglia, Wismarco and Bavaria, Rhine-Pa**, Lulitz, Clivia, Earl Berg, the great King Karl X."

Cheerchen, who was standing with a group of officers, sounded a little dizzy. Such a long appellation and place name is also rare for Brahe Wichensburg to memorize even when he gets older. And these kings seem to like to use a large number of titles to advertise themselves. This series of titles just didn't give in too much to the czar.

"Of course we rely on the supreme majesty of King Carl X and Prince Yanush, but the fighting of several generals is also indispensable to the victory."

By Ojinsky's side, an adjutant flattered.

This flattery obviously matched the appetites of Brahe Wichensburg and Okinsky, and both laughed. Unlike Ojinsky's laughter, Brahe Wichensburg only has a curved corner of his mouth. Compared to these two, General Robert Douglas was laughing, but he was much more normal.

After a brief greeting, Okinski led the way, leading Brahe Wichensburg and Douglas in.

When passing by the welcoming team of officers, General Robert Douglas, who had been taciturn just now, suddenly asked: "General Okinski, I heard that Prince Yanush has a heroic mercenary group leader named Ah. Leval Chechen, I wonder if he is here?"

Ojinsky was visibly stunned. He didn't expect Douglas to ask about one of his mercenary captains.

"Yes, right there. This is a good boy, and he will surely be a general in the future." Since Douglas will ask about it, it is clear that Cheerchen has something to do with him, so Ojinsky gave a wild boast. While talking, Ojinsky also pointed at him smoothly.

Douglas glanced in the direction of Ojinsky's finger. Because of Ojinsky's request in advance, all the officers wore gorgeous clothes, and Chelchen was no exception. What he is wearing today is a black dress with lace edges and a wide brimmed hat with ostrich feathers on his head. Although Cheorchen was considered short among the officers, he was also very eye-catching.

Douglas looked at Cheerchen's figure and nodded, but he didn't go to Cheerchen either, but after a glance, he entered the big tent with the marshal and Ojinsky.

In the big tent, Ojinsky has prepared a rich banquet. Although it is a time of shortage of supplies, as long as you have money, you can always get all the commodities you want from the army merchants.

The food in the big tent is prepared for senior officers. Middle and lower-level officers like Cheechen can only dine on the running water table outside the account, but even so, the richness of the food on the assembly line is not what their quartermaster can provide potatoes. , Bread is comparable.

Although the weather has entered November and it has begun to cool down, it is the beginning of the month after all, and Chechen Ye doesn't feel cold even when dining out of the account. He picked up an apple casually, put it in his mouth and took a bite. He has tasted the refreshing sweetness every month for more than a month. Although there are apples for sale at the Suijun Bazaar, the price of an apple for a Taylor is already sky-high.

After taking a bite of the apple, Cheorchen poured himself another glass of mead. Through the corner of the big tent that was occasionally blown up by the wind, the three high-ranking officials were arguing and joyous.

At this time Victor walked to Cheerchen's side. He poured himself a glass of wine first, and then joked:

"Hey, work harder. You can drink with the marshal when you become a general."

Cheerchen shook his head. He didn't dare to be a general.

"Hey, Cheerchen. This battle will be over soon." Victor said suddenly.

"It's going to be over? Not so fast! We've been playing Lidaburg for more than three months. It's impossible for the Swedes to come..." Cheerchen was a little surprised.

Victor saw that Cheerchen was so unconfident to the Swedes, and he didn't explain much: "General Oginski will definitely find the rebels to fight with reinforcements immediately, otherwise there are so many people and there is not enough food. Anyway, who Whoever loses or wins, this battle is always over. Tell you a secret, when the battle is over, I am ready to retire."

Speaking of retirement, Victor, who has always been unsmiling, turned out to be as brilliant as a smiling child.

Chechen was a little surprised. He originally thought that a traditional soldier like Victor would fight to death in the military.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it myself. But when you find true love one day, you will give up everything like me." Victor held a wine glass in one hand and faced Cheorchen with the back of his hand. Said.

"Is it Mrs. Corff?" Cheerchen asked.

"Yes, it's the Duchess of Corfu. But now it's time to add a prefix. Corfu is willing to go back to Spain with me and take her daughter with me. I was so desperate to be a bait last time. , It is also possible to save more money before returning to Spain." Victor said.

Chechen knew that Mrs. Korff's son was serving in Boguslav's army, and it seemed that he was going to stay in Poland.

"Congratulations, Victor!"

There are not many mercenaries who can become famous in foreign countries, and it is even rarer for Victor to hold beautiful people. Cheerchen is really happy for him and Mrs. Corff.

Victor smiled happily after hearing Cheer Chen's blessing.

Then the two drank some wine. Victor was called by his colleagues. Obviously, this stodgy soldier was in a particularly good mood today. Under the booing of his colleagues, he even sang:

When I left my lovely hometown of Havana, you can’t think of how sad I was.

There are bright colorful clouds floating in the sky, and the beloved girl is leaning against me;

My dear, I would like to go to the ocean with you, flying freely on the sea like a dove;

Ride the wind and waves on the sea with your sails, you love me like a little pigeon.

Dear little pigeon, please come to my side,

We flew over the blue ocean and headed for faraway places.

When I return to my hometown of Havana, a good place, you are singing and waiting for me by the shore;

Mother, I miss you so much in a foreign land, I sing this parting song every night;

My dear, I would like to voyage with you, flying freely on the sea like a dove.

Ride the wind and waves on the sea with your sails, you love me like a little pigeon.

Dear little pigeon, please come to my side,

We flew over the blue ocean and headed for faraway places.

Although this song was sung by Victor's incomplete voice, Kochechen still unconsciously responded. At this moment, his wandering heart seemed to have returned to Spain and his hometown.

The banquet lasted very late, and when Cheer Chen returned to the mercenary group camp, the sky was already starry. After washing a little, Cheerchen is going to sleep.

"Head, someone is looking for."

When Cheorchen was about to lie down, a guard on duty reported.

Who else will come to find yourself so late? Cheerchen got up and walked out suspiciously.

"General Douglas? How could it be you?" Cheer Chen asked in surprise.

The man who came turned out to be General Robert Douglas, the second in command of the Swedish army.

"Hello, Cheerchen. Chris asked me to ask you hello for her." Douglas looked at Cheerchen and said with a smile.
