The next morning, Natalie said goodbye to the old city magistrate and went on to chinstohova. But compared with the day before, the noble girl was in a low mood. Although Natalie was not influenced by fatalism and was not as pessimistic as old poglexie, the intelligent Natalie was associated with a fact that Natalie was unwilling to face. That is, you are the only one who is saving this country.


    Natalie came from a distinguished family and has been loyal to the Republic for generations. The reason why she took this dangerous task and sneaked back to the Republic is to do her best for the country like her ancestors. But now she found that she wanted to kill thieves, but she couldn''t find anyone to save the nation with her. Yes, mitzkevich has been following herself and is her closest comrade in arms, but there are too few people like this.


    In this country, all people are roughly divided into four categories:


    The first is traitors. They wholeheartedly took refuge in the Swedes and begged for some leftovers thrown away by their masters. They spend all day drinking and eating, but forget shame and noble honor; They treat Swedes like dogs, but they treat their own people like wolves.


    The second category is "idealists". They are obsessed with the false picture of themselves. They fantasized that after the merger of the kingdom of Sweden and the Republic of Poland, they would establish a great country under the guidance of the scepter of the greatest soldier in the world. Such people are even more terrible than traitors. Because the traitors are selfish, they will change their course once the situation reverses; But idealists think they have grasped the truth and will go to the dark one by one.


    The third category is pessimists like old bogglexie. They are noble and do not want to be with the aggressors and traitors. They will also help the resisters. But he is also extremely pessimistic about resistance. They indulged in all kinds of prophecies and regarded everything as God''s punishment for the Republic.


    This last group of people hid in the forest or fled abroad for their lives.


    Although Natalie has heard that a group of officers led by sapega raised the flag of resistance in Lithuania, Silesia is far away from Lithuania and the news is inconvenient. Natalie didn''t hear much noise there. (kazimizh''s meeting with the Czar''s Russian envoy potgen Kim and reaching an agreement were conducted in secret, and Natalie did not know it)


    Natalie was upset at the thought. She lifted the curtains from the window of the carriage, put her head out, and shouted to the open carriage behind her, "aleval, come here."


    The carriage stopped. Soon, Chechen reluctantly got on the carriage.


    "Dear Miss, what can I do for you?" Chechen asked.


    "Aren''t you from Lithuania? Tell me about it there, especially about the resisters," Natalie said.


    "Over there, we call the people who resist yanush the allies." Chechen pointed out a mistake in Natalie''s statement.


    But Chechen obviously made a mistake. Now it''s not a question of whether the words are accurate or not. He was punished for this.


    Natalie stabbed Cherchen in the ribs with the handle of the saber, which made Cherchen feel a deep pain.


    "Speak up! Don''t talk to me about those useless things. I''m not in that mood today." Natalie said to the painful shrimp shaped Chechen.


    Chechen held back and straightened up. Now he has no good feelings for the beautiful girl in front of him, but only fear.


    "I don''t know what happened recently, because I have been away from Lithuania for more than 20 days. Before that, the army of yanush and field marshal braue weixingsburg captured Lida fort and wiped out Jan sobesky''s troops..." Cherchen briefly summarized the situation of the battle of Lida fort.


    While Chechen was talking, Natalie was listening with her eyes closed with a saber. When Cherchen finished, Natalie asked, "so Lithuania has been completely calmed by the Swedes?"


    Cherchen gave a negative answer to this question: "No, only Jan sobeski''s team was defeated. The alliance led by Pavel sapega was yanush''s most tenacious enemy. There were many famous warriors in the alliance, such as mihau vorodyavsky and Anjie kemitz, who frightened the mercenaries under the prince."


    "These people, I know, are indeed famous knights of the Republic." Natalie nodded.


    Knowing that there are patriots like herself fighting in Lithuania is the only good news Natalie has heard since yesterday, which also moistens her dry heart.


    "This guy is still useful," Natalie thought to herself.


    Just then, the door of the carriage window was knocked.


    "Miss, I have something urgent to tell you." it was mitzkevich''s voice.


    Natalie opened the window. When mitzkevich saw that Chechen was still in the car, he hesitated.


    Natalie understood mitzkevich''s meaning and ordered Cherchen to get out of the carriage.


    "Miss, I just heard the news from a nearby village. I don''t know if it''s true. Lord konetspolsky, the royal flag officer, surrendered to Carl X."


    The news was like a bolt from the blue, and Natalie felt dizzy.


    The flag officer of the imperial foreman was a fierce general in the siege of zballah in the past. Now he even surrendered.


    "Mizkevich, tell the team to hurry up. I''ll get to chenstohova tomorrow morning." after a while, Natalie gathered her mind and ordered mizkevich.


    The more surrenders, the greater the strength of the Swedes. Carl x would be even more eager to be crowned king of the Republic of Poland. The crown must be brought back to Silesia before that. That''s Natalie''s idea.


    The team speeded up abruptly. Because oxana''s cabriolet is not equipped with expensive shock absorber, it is extremely bumpy at high speed. Cherchen and father sparsokukotsky had to grasp the heavy objects around them in case they were thrown out.


    Compared with the time of departure, there were many more things on Oksana''s car. According to her own words, these were the gifts she obtained by mentioning those maid divination at the manor.


    "Father, do you say we''re almost to chenstohova?" Chechen asked.


    "Come on, if we go at such a speed, we should be able to arrive early tomorrow morning. Only if the car doesn''t break us apart," said father sparsokukotsky.


    A bucket full of water beside him hit his right thumb, which hurt him deeply.


    "Oksana, can''t you throw away some useless things?" the priest suggested to Oksana driving the carriage.


    The answer he got was No.
