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, gunfire came from time to time outside the castle. At the most intense time, mihau could even hear the cries of soldiers. In the noisy shouting, mihaw magically distinguished the battle cry of the team he led. Most of the soldiers of the team led by mihau come from Ukraine, and their accent is very different from that of Lithuanians. Moreover, these soldiers have participated in the battle with hemelinitsky, and their battle numbers are even more murderous.
Whenever he heard such a familiar cry, mihaw would excitedly say to Anjie and others, hey, this is my soldier! I heard their voices. They must have come to save us.
At this time, Anjie and other inmates would hold up the "little" knight and let him look out through the iron fence of the dungeon. Because the opening of the iron fence is very small and there is a wall outside, in fact, mihau can''t see anything except the corner, but this gives everyone hope after all.
The next day, the roar of artillery overshadowed the sound of gunfire and the cry of warriors. The hearts of the people were awe inspiring, because they all knew that there were no artillery among the weapons they brought, and the only people who could use artillery were yanush raziwiu. The musket, saber and spear will be vulnerable in front of the artillery: a mikale musket may penetrate the bodies of two or three people at close range. If the other party wears armor, it may only kill one person. However, a three pound gun can easily penetrate the human wall composed of ten people from 300 meters away.
Sure enough, when the gunfire outside the castle stopped, there began to be silence outside. Occasionally there will be a crisp gunshot, but the sound is rare and abnormal.
Everyone knows that the attempt of outsiders to rescue themselves failed. The soldiers and officers loyal to themselves were either killed or captured by yanush''s minions. And they also lost the hope of regaining their freedom.
Although there is another way to make yourself free and wear red and purple, everyone will not choose this way. Because once you take this road, you will disgrace yourself and your family.
"Anzu, I''m really sorry for you. If you hadn''t listened to me, you wouldn''t have come to this point with deputy commander Pavel sapega. Maybe you still have a chance to kill the national thief yanush." mihau said sorry to Anjie.
Hearing mihaw''s words, Anjie picked up a hard straw pole on the ground. He twisted the straw rod in his hand, and then twisted it from the middle, as if it were a traitor''s neck.
"Now if I had the chance, I would break the traitor''s head," Anjie said bitterly.
At this time, Colonel Jerzy halletsky comforted everyone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not at the end of our rope. Although the resistance has stopped, most people just succumb to yanush raziwiu''s power and dare to be angry and dare not speak. Think about the dinner party that day. How many people really support yanush, a traitor? Don''t even his cousin, Prince bogusslav, support him?"
"This is really strange. I thought that a dandy like the Royal Horse warden would collude with his cousin. Didn''t William Frederick, his other relative, the elector, invade the Republic after the Swedes, but he didn''t do so. Although he didn''t openly oppose yanush, it showed that he and yanush were not together." Sigmund sloshka also analyzed.
Sigmund sloshka''s words were accepted by everyone.
At this time, the gate outside the dungeon was opened. A jailer shook the key in his hand and came in. He went straight to the gate of the prison where Mikhail and others were located and asked the people inside, "who are Mikhail vorodyavsky and Anjie kemitz?"
"I am!" they said in unison.
The jailer looked at them and nodded.
"Someone came to see you."
Then the jailer went out. After a while, another man came in.
"Chechen!"
The sharp eyed Anjie recognized the man at a glance.
Then came Chechen. After he obtained the grace from Prince yanush to let mihau and Anjie live, he hurried to the dungeon to inform his two friends.
"Anzu, and mihaw. Are you all right?" Chechen asked, holding the cold iron fence in both hands.
"It''s OK," Mikhail replied. He was about to ask how Chechen came in, but Anjie suddenly remembered that there was only one kind of people who could dress neatly and enter the dungeon unharmed, that is, yanush''s followers.
At the thought that Chechen didn''t recognize loyalty and traitors as traitors, MIHA Wu felt a chill. His thick mustache was beating with his facial muscles unconsciously.
"You traitor!" Mikhail scolded.
Anjie was surprised to hear that Mikhail called Chechen a traitor. He said to Mikhail, "Mikhail, what are you talking about? How could Chechen be a traitor?"
"Look at his clothes and think about it. If he didn''t work for yanush, how could he come to see us so unharmed."
Anjie listened to mihaw and looked up and down at Chechen.
"Yes, I''m working for Prince yanush," Chechen admitted. He didn''t think it was a disgrace.
"Why!"
Listen to Chechen''s own admission, Anjie''s grief and anger are inexplicable.
"Anzu, Prince yanushi is not what you think. He is a patriot and also wants to save this country, although it is different from your path. He is saving the country in a curve." Chechen defended Prince yanushi. He also thought of a new term for Prince yanushi''s behavior.
"How to save the country? By surrendering to the Swedes. Yanush doesn''t want to save anyone. He only cares about his own interests." mihau sniffed at the so-called curve to save the country.
Che Chen shook his head. He explained Prince yanush''s theory of fighting between Snipes and mussels for the benefit of fishermen to mihau and Anjie.
"I think what the prince said is reasonable," Chechen concluded.
"You are blinded by revenge! Yanushi promised you to go back to attack Smolensk and fight Yakov, so you believed him and were willing to work for him. But when did the prince have a truth, wake up, Chechen!" Mikhail said loudly to Chechen after hearing yanush''s absurd theory.
He hoped to wake up Cherchen, but how could Cherchen, brainwashed by yanush, wake up so easily?
Chechen shook his head and said to mihaw, "let''s not argue. Time will prove who is right, mihaw. I came to tell you good news."
"I don''t think any news here is good news except yanush''s sudden death," Anjie interrupted coldly.
"The prince has forgiven your lives. You will be escorted to devonsburg until the end of the war." Chechen gave Anjie a sad look. Mihau did not understand himself, even Anzu did not understand himself.
"Then I should really thank yanush for his grace. Even if we want to kill us, we are arranged on the territory of the Swedes, so that our souls can see the day when the Republic Army enters their territory." hearing the news, mihau''s face was not happy, but doubted yanush''s purpose.
"No. The Prince promises that you will receive qualified treatment there." Chechen further explained.
But mihau didn''t want to listen anymore. He asked Cherchen a question: did he and his mercenary regiment take part in the attack on the resisters outside the castle.
After getting the affirmative answer from Chechen, MIHA Wu kept away from the iron fence and kept silent with his back to Chechen. And Anjie shouted that Chechen was a traitor.
Chechen never thought that his painstaking efforts to the two friends would be such a result. With inexplicable grief in his heart, he walked out of the dungeon with tears in his eyes.
"Mihau, are we talking too much," said Anjie, looking back at the door of the dungeon and turning to the "little" knight.
After Anjie calmed down, he felt guilty to Chechen. Even himself and mihau were once confused by Prince yanush''s rhetoric and appearance, not to mention Cherchen, who is not deeply involved in the world.
When he heard Anjie''s words, mihau''s body shook imperceptibly, but he didn''t say anything.
