In the center of the mercenary regiment''s tent, a wood more than one person was stacked. On the wood lay the body of argyrdas.
King Carl x, the enemy, admired the decisive assault and heroic dedication of argildas. After the battle, King Carl x specially ordered people to clean the headless body of argildas and return it to the camp of the Polish army.
As the captain of the wing cavalry squadron of the mercenary regiment, the body of argyrdas was naturally received by the mercenary regiment and cremated for argyrdas in the barracks.
All the mercenary soldiers stood around the body of argyrdas, listening to father sparsokukotsky''s story of argyrdas''s bravery and loyalty. At this time, the bad deeds of Algirdas in those years had long been forgotten by the priest, and all that remained was the praise of Algirdas.
Pedro fell down next to the body of argildas and wept. That sad energy infected everyone present, and even bachit wiped his tears.
But no one knew that Pedro''s real sadness was not algerdas, but the wing cavalry squadron built by the mercenary regiment.
In today''s battle, the wing cavalry squadron of the mercenary regiment lost not only the squadron leader argildas, but also all the wing cavalry, and only some auxiliary cavalry withdrew. This makes the so-called wing cavalry squadron virtually exist in name only.
Pedro, that hate. He hated algeldas for disobeying his orders and taking the squadron to the battlefield without authorization; He hated father spasokukotsky and bakhte for not obeying their orders and making elbows everywhere; He hated that he didn''t take good care of his nephew''s family.
From beginning to end, Pedro regarded the mercenary regiment as the private army of their aleval family.
When father sparsokukotsky said, "where are you going, argildas? And why are you in such a hurry?" bachit and aunt VARVARA picked up Pedro.
Father sparsokukotsky inserted the burning torch into the pile of wood. Only a moment later, the raging fire burned and swallowed up argildas.
Just then, Jan sobesky and Natalie came to the mercenary regiment together. When they knew that today''s hero argildas was buried in the fire, Jan sobesky and Natalie took off their hats and said goodbye to the remains of the heroes in the fire.
It takes a long time to burn a body. After mourning for a while, Jan sobeski and Natalie went to Pedro and told Pedro that they had something to talk to him.
Pedro left the rest to bachit and father sparsokukotsky. He and the two went to their tent.
As soon as he arrived at the tent, Jan sobeski said to Pedro, "Captain Pedro, your majesty is also very sad about the sacrifice of argildas. Your majesty asked me to convey his greetings to you and said that he would make compensation for the sacrifice made by the mercenary regiment today."
Pedro nodded silently.
The so-called nothing courteous, either rape or theft. Pedro knew that the arrival of Jan sobesky and Natalie would never just miss algeldas.
Jan sobesky was embarrassed to see Pedro not speak. He wanted to say a few good words to cut into the next topic. Unexpectedly, Pedro didn''t take the move.
Finally, Natalie explained her intention directly: "Uncle Pedro, your majesty has decided to end the Warsaw campaign and turn to the other side of the visva River to meet marshal lubomatsky. However, Carl X and the elector will not let us turn to success so easily. In order to cover the withdrawal of the large forces, your majesty hopes that the mercenary Corps can stick here and block the elector''s army."
After hearing Natalie''s words, Pedro immediately shook his hand. An unknown fire burned from Pedro''s heart. If it weren''t for Natalie standing opposite him, Pedro would have had an attack.
What did Kazimierz treat the mercenary regiment as? He handed over all the dirty work to the mercenary regiment. Now he has to spend all his money to cover them. Has the mercenary regiment taken the military expenses of a Taylor in the Republic so far? How dare he mention it!
"The mercenary regiment is small, and argildas died today. I''m afraid it''s difficult to complete the heavy task assigned by your majesty." Pedro declined.
Natalie and Jan sobesky looked at each other, and Pedro''s attitude was not unexpected.
In this regard, Jan sobesky had to convince him with interests first. Jan sobesky said: "Captain Pedro, your majesty knows that it is difficult to block the enemy several times his own with the mercenary regiment, so your Majesty''s requirements are not high. As long as you stick to the two forts for 6 hours. After 6 hours, you can decide to retreat or surrender. Your majesty also said that as long as you complete this task, he will double your fiefdom in vidava."
But Pedro still insisted that the mercenary regiment could not complete such a difficult task.
At this moment, Natalie got a little angry. She didn''t expect that Chechen''s uncle was such a selfish person. Indeed, the mercenary regiment belonged to Chechen. Pedro wanted to return the mercenary regiment to Chechen when his nephew came back intact. Natalie could understand. But now is the most critical time in the Republic of Poland, and all small profits should obey the big one Bureau. Isn''t that what Chechen did? Besides, the cost of establishing the mercenary regiment actually comes from the kishka family. Natalie is keeping the mercenary regiment.
"Uncle Pedro," Natalie said bluntly: "I always respect you very much, not only because you are Chechen''s uncle, but also because you are a veteran who has experienced many battles and is indomitable. But now, you are afraid of being entangled by a shackle set for yourself. I can assure you that I will make up for you for every person lost by the mercenary regiment tomorrow. Moreover, if you really feel tired If I can''t do it myself, I can command instead of you. "
Pedro was in a panic. He didn''t expect Natalie to say that.
"Natalie, that''s not what I meant," said Pedro.
Natalie did not listen to Pedro''s explanation. She directly said to Jan sobesky, "general Jan sobesky, please go back and tell your majesty that I will command the mercenary regiment to stay here until the last soldier withdraws across the visva river."
Natalie''s move was tantamount to cutting first and then playing again, trying to seize the command of the mercenary regiment.
For the first time, Pedro felt Natalie''s strength.
