Natalie''s hand was on the gun rack. At the beginning, she wondered if something had happened to Cherchen in Crimea, but the feeling just now was different. Because when she was at Daguangming Mountain Monastery, Natalie was heartbroken that Cherchen didn''t come back to destroy the Swedish cannon, but it''s not like this at all.


    "Is it... His father..."


    Natalie doesn''t want to think anymore. She turned her head and looked into the distance behind her.


    Of course there was no view of the ferry from the fort, and Natalie looked back disappointed.


    Unlike mihau, who were caught in a fierce battle, the mercenary regiment was much more calm in dealing with the attack of Frederick William''s elector''s army. This is not because the electors deliberately want to release water and preserve their strength. In fact, the elector''s desire to win may be more intense than Carl X. Because only by eliminating kazimiz and the main force of the army of the Republic of Poland once and for all today, he can marry Christina and acquire the land of Little Poland as soon as possible.


    The elector didn''t attack with all his strength, because in the battle the day before, the elector''s artillery suffered heavy losses, and there were few artillery and shells left. As we all know, to conquer a fortress, even if it is the simplest, it is impossible without artillery. Therefore, as soon as the elector asked Carl x for artillery support, he sent limited Germanic infantry to attack in order to contain the enemy in the fort.


    More than 200 Germanic infantry are scattered on the battlefield one kilometer wide. At this time, it is impossible to shoot with muskets. It will only waste bullets. So Natalie specially selected the soldiers with good marksmanship in the mercenary regiment to shoot accurately with micklein musket.


    "Natalie, what''s the matter with you?"


    Seeing Natalie''s haunted appearance, father sparsokukotsky asked kindly.


    Natalie reluctantly smiled.


    "Nothing, father. I''m fine."


    Then Natalie asked father sparsokukotsky, "father, where''s head Pedro?"


    "Colonel, he''s down there."


    "Is he still looking at that pocket watch?"


    Father sparsokukotsky did not answer.


    Natalie sighed. From the priest''s eyes, Natalie already knew the answer.


    Seeing Natalie sighing, father sparsokukotsky thought Natalie had a grudge against Pedro. He quickly defended Pedro and said, "Natalie, Pedro, don''t blame him. After all, he and Cherchen have always been dependent on each other. He sees Cherchen more important than anything, so he is so worried about gain and loss."


    Natalie believes that spasokukotsky''s words are only half said. Half of the reason is that Pedro is not a national of the Republic. Although he received the reward from the king, he has no feelings for the Republic. So Pedro''s starting point must be himself, just like this time.


    But Natalie could only know this in her heart, not in her mouth.


    "I understand, father. He is Chechen''s uncle. How can I have an opinion with him?" Natalie replied to the father.


    Father sparsokukotsky nodded. At this time, just as the Gunners reloaded the shells, spasokukotsky lit the lead and fired a shot at several Germanic soldiers who stood up and moved forward.


    The gunfire dissipated. Natalie heard footsteps on the stairs behind her.


    "Natalie, mitzkevich is here."


    This is Pedro''s voice. Pedro''s voice was low and sad.


    "Father!"


    Natalie had another heartache. When she heard mitzkevich coming, she knew that something must have happened to her father.


    Mitzkevich walked out from behind Pedro. He walked up to Natalie without saying a word, and then knelt down with a "plop".


    "Miss, sir, he died for his country."


    Natalie felt dark in front of her eyes. She pestered her body with a saber in time so that she wouldn''t stumble to the ground.


    It took a while for Natalie to recover. She asked mitskevich, "mitskevich, how did my father die?"


    In the sound of gunfire and gunfire, Natalie''s words were particularly clear and powerful. Everyone can feel that Natalie is repressing her emotions and talking.


    Mitzkevich told Natalie the story of yanush''s death for his country and what yanush wanted to tell her. After that, mitzkevich said to Natalie, "come with me, miss. Your majesty wants you to cross the river and leave immediately. You are now the only heir of the kishka family."


    Natalie did not say whether to go or not, but looked over mitzkevich at Pedro.


    Natalie asked Pedro without emotion, "Uncle Pedro, what time is it?"


    "Ah?"


    Pedro was immersed in the news of yanush''s death. He didn''t expect Natalie to suddenly ask himself the time. His pocket watch almost got rid of it.


    "It''s 10:20," said Pedro.


    Natalie looked at mitzkevich again.


    "Mitzkevich, I promise to stick here for six hours, so I must do it. You go back and cross the river with my father''s body, and I''ll come at 12 o''clock."


    "No, miss. Come with me. This is your Majesty''s order to you. Do you want to disobey it?"


    Seeing that Natalie didn''t leave, mitzkevich moved out of King kazimiz.


    But it didn''t work for Natalie at all. She turned and stopped looking at mitzkevich.


    "Mitzkevich, now I am the head of the kishka family. Are you going to disobey my orders?"


    "Natalie, you''d better leave with mitzkevich. The task of blocking was entrusted to me. I promise you, I will hold on until 12 o''clock with the mercenary regiment."


    Although he was unhappy with Natalie, Pedro was not ruthless after all. When he saw Natalie trying to bear her grief to stay here as an example, Pedro''s heart softened. He decided to replace Natalie by himself.


    "No, uncle Pedro. Thank you for your kindness. My father is gone. He died for the Republic. As his daughter, I will kill a hundred invaders to bury him!" Natalie clenched her teeth and vowed.


    Then Natalie ordered the guns to continue firing, and she went down the stairs under the stunned eyes of the people.


    "Soldiers who love the Republic, come with me!"


    Natalie''s voice floated upstairs and woke up Pedro, mitskovic and spasokukotsky.


    One of them swooped downstairs and the other two swooped in front of the crenels of the artillery.


    "Crazy, is Natalie crazy?"


    Said Pedro blankly.


    Natalie led half a squadron of mercenary soldiers to jump out of the trench and jump on the Germanic infantry in the scattered line
