When the two dragoons brought the news of the Swede back to the mayor''s house, the king''s temporary trip was in a panic. No one expected that the Swedes could see through the king''s strategy of "building plank roads openly and hiding from the old warehouse" so soon.


    Among them, the most regretful one is Lord yanush kishka. Because he came up with the idea of attracting Swedes with large troops and escorting his majesty to Lvov with small troops. Now the plan did not work, but put the king and queen in a dangerous situation. Yanushi really felt that he could not redeem himself.


    "Your Majesty, go quickly. The old minister stays here to block the Swedes. If the Swedes want to come, they must step on my body." yanush said sadly to King kazimiz and queen Ludvika who came out of the room.


    "Willing to fight for your majesty!"


    Dozens of dragon cavalry and winged cavalry also shouted.


    King kazimiz blushed. He didn''t expect to run away on the first day of returning home.


    Compared with the king, Queen ludwiga seemed much calmer. The queen looked around and saw that Natalie was not present, so she asked yanush, "old man, where''s your daughter?"


    Just now, due to the urgency, yanushi did not take into account his daughter. Now when Queen ludwiga mentioned it, he found that not only Natalie, but also mitzkevich was not there.


    "Where are Natalie and mitzkevich?" yanush asked the two dragon cavalry who came back to report.


    The answer he got was that Natalie and mitzkevich went on to grab the tongue.


    "These two brave guys!" yanushi hit the floor twice with the scabbard of his saber.


    "Your Majesty, I think we''d better go back to Silesia before making plans."


    At this time, the cardinal sent by the Holy See also persuaded kazimierdo.


    For a long time, kazimiz believed and obeyed the cardinal. But this time, the king was surprisingly stubborn.


    "No, I won''t go!" said King kazimiz firmly: "I have abandoned my subjects once. If I leave, it means that I have abandoned my subjects again. How can I be their loving father again? How can I have the heart to let those loyal to me bleed and sacrifice for me, but I flee in a hurry? No, I won''t go. Even if I die, I will die in my own land."


    The passionate and heartfelt words of King kazimiz made all the Knights present cry. They fell to their knees and said they would fight to the last man for the king and queen.


    The scene seemed so sad for a moment that there seemed to be nothing else but death.


    Queen ludwiga looked at her husband with relief. Now kazimi is only turning to a real man.


    But the Cardinal was so anxious that he wanted to jump. If King kazimiz didn''t go, he certainly couldn''t go. At the thought of his death here, the cardinal regretted taking the job long ago.


    Just then Natalie and mitzkevich came back. Mitzkevich''s horse was tied up with a man.


    "Sire, we''re back." Natalie jumped off her horse. She went into the house first. Mitzkevich unloaded the horse and followed.


    "Natalie, you are too willful!"


    Seeing his daughter coming back unharmed, yanush was happy for a while, and then the old man was angry because of his daughter''s willful behavior. He angrily scolded Natalie.


    Natalie curled her lips. She didn''t think much of her father''s angry scolding.


    "Your Majesty, Queen. I''ve got a tongue back," Natalie knelt on one knee and said to King kazimiz and queen ludwiga.


    "Natalie, how did you do it?" asked queen ludwiga in surprise. He could not imagine that Natalie and mitzkevich escaped unharmed and came back with a prisoner. You know, it was not the mountain bandits and bandits, but the Swedish regular army.


    "It''s not difficult, your majesty. When mitzkevich and I arrived at Maxwell, these German mercenaries were robbing. You know, people were the least vigilant when robbing. And they were very open and focused on themselves. Mitzkevich and I touched it and knocked out a guy looking for wine in the cellar." Natalie said proudly.


    "Natalie, you said they were German mercenaries, not Swedes?" yanush noticed the most important point.


    "Yes, to be exact, they are German mercenaries hired by Swedes. But the specific problem is for the prisoner himself," Natalie said.


    Mitskevich pushed the prisoner to the front of the crowd. Then mitskevich hit the prisoner on the back knee with the blade of the saber, and the prisoner fell on his knees.


    "What''s your name?" yanush asked majestically instead of King kazimiz.


    The prisoner looked around in fear.


    "To be frank, we may spare your life," said the cardinal.


    "As long as you tell the truth, I can forgive your life," said King kazimizh.


    As soon as the prisoner heard that there was still a way to live, he kowtowed like garlic. He called it all out.


    The prisoner''s name was Max bean. Unlike those who volunteered to become mercenaries like Pedro and Cherchen, Max bean was originally a farmer who was "sold" by the Lord of the land where he lived.


    At that time, it was always a good business for German nobles to transport cannon fodder to farmers in their territories. Sweden and Poland have always been the biggest customers.


    According to an unnamed Swedish commander, recruiting German cannon fodder has such advantages: "a German to join our army is equivalent to the role of three soldiers. First, he saves us a Swedish quota. At the same time, he is equivalent to winning a person from the enemy forces. Finally, he is still a real soldier."


    In this case, both the buyer and the buyer benefit, and the farmers like Max bean suffer. They have no wages because all the money has been paid to the Lord who sold them. Therefore, in order to make a living and accumulate wealth, they can only rob the residents of the occupied areas.


    The honest peasants were forced to become robbers, which was the evil result of the war.


    When these victims became perpetrators, they intensified their treatment of the people in the occupied areas, and thus suffered the disaster in maxburg.


    When Max bean said that they did not come for the king, King kazirimi and all the people finally put down half of their suspense. It seems that the Swedes did not find the king''s whereabouts. The German mercenaries here were just an accident.


    "How many of you?" asked king kazimiz.


    "Seventy or eighty people."


    "Where are you going after robbing Maxwell castle?"


    Max bean hesitated on this question, but when mitzkevich glared at him, poor Max bean responded.


    "That''s it," said Max bean.
