Although the victory of the Polotsk war did not change the power balance between Russia and Poland, nor did it curb the attack of the Czar Russian army against Lithuania, it was the first victory of the Republic of Poland since the fall of Smolensk. It has also greatly encouraged the confidence and determination of the people of bolotsk to defend their country.


    After confirming that the defeated soldiers led by Yakov cherkaski withdrew from bolotsk and returned to Smolensk, the soldiers and people of bolotsk held a grand dance in the castle.


    All the officers of the mercenary regiment were invited, but only Chechen and Pedro went last. As for the other officers of the mercenary regiment, fedot politely declined the invitation to the banquet because he was Russian; The priest is still recovering from his injury; As for Fatima, she was unwilling to participate because of her faith; Ingrid refused inexplicably. She just said that she had something inconvenient to attend.


    For the party, Chechen and Pedro put on the most gorgeous clothes of their luggage. Chechen is wearing a white gown. The pattern on the white fabric of the gown is tulip embroidered with silver silk thread. On the chest of the long shirt, Chechen also pinned a sapphire brooch.


    Pedro''s clothes are much more fancy. His lower body is a pair of yellow bloomers with black stripes; His upper body is a set of red short clothes. The patterns on the short clothes are embroidered with gold thread. It seems that if it is not as good as this, it can not show Pedro''s wealth.


    Of course, today''s protagonists are Anjie kemitz and miss OLINA bilevich. One of the two is the mayor of Polotsk, and the other is the actual commander of the Polotsk War (only a few people know the role played by Cherchen). When they entered the restaurant, they let the guests go first. When Chechen and Pedro walked past Anjie, Anjie, who was still injured, didn''t say a word to them.


    Obviously, the city Lord still has a prejudice against Chechen.


    For Anjie''s impolite and petty behavior, OLINA had to smile apologetically at Chechen.


    The flow of people walked like this, and entered the restaurant with the beat of the band.


    In the restaurant, a horseshoe shaped table can be used for 200 people to eat together. The table was full of gold, silver and glass tableware. The reason why all kinds of tableware with different values and shapes are available is that there have not been so many guests out of the borotsk castle. Some of these tableware were also booty seized from Yakov cherkaski military camp.


    Of course, these slight flaws can not affect the mood of the people attending the banquet. Everyone''s face was beaming with joy. When everyone entered the restaurant. Anjie kemitz and miss olena bilevich took their seats at the head of the restaurant. The relationship between the two has long been well known. This war made the two put down all their disagreements and prejudices and come together physically and mentally. Now, some people have called miss hoolina bilevich Mrs. kemitz.


    Cherchen and Pedro sat not far from Anjie kemitz and OLINA bilevich. But he could hear nothing and see nothing. Because there was a girl sitting next to him. Sitting next to Cherchen was a girl in her twenties named Elizabeth. The Lady Elizabeth kept shaking her head with feathers above Chechen''s head, and excitedly begged Chechen to tell him more about his resistance to the Russian army in the bastion.


    From time to time, Elizabeth put forward some hearsay news and asked Cherchen if it was true. And Chechen is obviously not used to dealing with such a enthusiastic young lady. Whenever Elizabeth asked something, Cherchen always replied, "yes, dear miss, it''s true!"


    Chechen was dazed by a little sparrow, and his uncle Pedro was no better. Sitting next to Pedro was an old nobleman who had the rank of earl. The old aristocrat seemed to like talking to others, but he spoke slowly and always forgot his words. In a simple sentence, the old count needs at least three minutes to finish. It''s hard for Pedro, a middle-aged man who talks a lot. It takes three minutes to understand each other''s meaning.


    Chechen and Pedro looked at each other sympathetically. If possible, uncle and nephew really want to change positions.


    The noise at the table is getting louder and louder. By this time, it was time to clink the glasses. People''s mood is getting higher and higher, and the scene is becoming more and more active. Some optimistic soldiers and nobles even shouted slogans to hit Smolensk.


    "The city Lord wants to speak."


    "The city Lord is about to speak."


    There were shouts in the seats at both ends of the table.


    All the sounds disappeared. Silence enveloped the hall. Everyone''s eyes turned to Anjie and OLINA around him. People are wondering what the rebellious, willful and free city Lord will say.


    Anjie stood up. Because of the pain, his movements were not as steady as usual. OLINA gave him a hand.


    "Everybody!" said Anjie: "At this time of national crisis, I am very glad that our nobles in Polotsk have always maintained a sense of patriotism. In the face of strong enemies, we have not flinched, cowardly or disappointed his majesty. With your concerted efforts, we defeated the army led by the ferocious Yakov cherkaski and drove him out of the country. As the city Lord of Polotsk, I would like to Here''s to you. "


    With that, Anjie kemitz drank the red wine in the glass.


    The people''s originally hanging heart was finally relieved. Fortunately, the city Lord knew his discretion and didn''t say anything unconventional at such an important banquet.


    Chechen also put down his heart. This message from Anjie is obviously miss OLINA''s masterpiece. It seems that love can really change a person. Even people like Anjie put away their recklessness.


    Like everyone else, Chechen also raised his glass and drank a full glass of wine. Since coming to the Republic of Poland, Chechen feels that the biggest improvement is his drinking capacity.


    Some people, in accordance with the aristocratic custom, knocked the wine glass on their forehead. Those who use glass wine glasses are fine. Those who use gold and silver wine glasses are badly hurt. The wine glasses are not broken, but the forehead is red.


    Next, it''s the toast.


    Olena bilevich walked beside Anjie kemitz and toasted every nobleman and officer who came to the banquet around the table. Soon, Anjie came to Cherchen and Pedro.


    "Your Excellency Anjie, I wish you a speedy recovery."


    Before Anjie spoke, Chechen took the lead in saying.


    "Stretch out your hand and don''t hit the smiling face. I''m talking like this. You should have nothing to say." Chechen thought to himself.


    And olena bilevich also gestured to Anjie kemitz with her eyes.


    "I don''t like your excellency."


    Anjie''s first words stunned Chechen.


    And Miss Elizabeth sitting next to Cherchen, of course, also heard Anjie''s words. She looked at Chechen in surprise, and then at the mayor of Anjie. She didn''t know what kind of contradiction there was between the mayor and the young man around her.


    "Because you took away the glory that should have belonged to me. If I hadn''t been injured, it would have been me who defeated Yakov cherkaski," Anjie continued. His hand holding the glass was shaking with too much force.


    Miss Elizabeth could not help saying "ah" when she heard what Anjie said.


    When the city Lord said this, he obviously said that the boy next to him was the real hero who defeated Yakov cherkaski.


    "We defeated Yakov cherkaski because of God''s blessing and miss OLINA bilevich''s proper command. Of course, it''s also because you know people and do good things, mayor Anjie." Chechen said calmly.


    Anjie nodded. Suddenly, he hugged Cherchen.


    "If I''ve seen someone more noble than you, let me divide them into five parts. Your great achievements in this war have been told by OLINA. As Prince yanush''s private army, you could have abandoned the city, and no one will say anything about you. But you chose to stay and stick to the most dangerous place. It is also because of your strategy, poloz It is because of your recklessness that OLINA''s life can be saved. "


    Miss Elizabeth could not help saying "ah" again.


    "Lord anjay, Yakov cherkaski is our common enemy. You and he are enemies of the country, and he and I are enemies of the family. You said I was the most meritorious hero in this battle, but I think you and miss OLINA should be the most meritorious hero. It is because of your good knowledge and responsibility that miss OLINA bilevich has served as the temporary commander of Polotsk After the great victory, it was precisely because of the charisma of miss OLINA bilevich that everyone was united to join in the flood of resisting the aggression of Czarist Russia. And I just did my duty as a mercenary, "Cherchen further said.


    "I know, I know. From now on, you will be my brother. May you forget the unhappiness between us," said Anjie.


    "I never took that to heart," said Chechen.


    Anjie released his hands holding Cherchen with satisfaction. He drank up the wine in the glass, and Cherchen did the same. The two laughed away their gratitude and hatred.


    "I''m going to have a few drinks with some Swedish guests. Please help yourself, sir," said Anjie.


    After Anjie and OLINA left, Elizabeth chattered and held Chechen.


    "Tell me again what great things you have done," said Elizabeth cheerfully.


    In this regard, Chechen can only report it with a bitter smile.
