When Pedro and mihau were taken out of the stable by a team of Swedish Musketeers early the next morning, Pedro really thought he was going to die.


    It was Anjie who was the first to get into trouble. Anjie did what he said he would do last night. Anjie unexpectedly waved his fist, smashed the bridge of the nose of a Swedish Musketeer nearby and knocked him to the ground. But soon, Anjie was knocked to the ground by the butt of other Swedish Musketeers nearby.


    "It''s over," thought Pedro desperately.


    Surprisingly, the Swedes did not kill them, but escorted them into a prison car and sent them to a manor near Warsaw.


    Here, Pedro met countless famous Swedish officers and nobles. There were General Robert Douglas, count owal von Goya, Prince boguslav, elector Frederick William, count Miller and many others who met yesterday.


    Everyone sat in the corridor of the manor. And Carl x sat right in front of them. In front of King Carl x, two warriors as strong as yaks were fighting.


    Mihau recognized one of them as a winged cavalry, gordosky, nicknamed "bull".


    "They make fun of the prisoners!"


    Mihau clenched his fist angrily.


    Gordoski and his opponents had obviously fought fiercely for a long time, and their shirts had long been torn, revealing their muscles as strong as steel.


    "Oh!"


    After listening to a lion like break, gordosky''s opponent threw gordosky to the ground.


    "Good!"


    Swedish officers and nobles around kept clapping. Even Carl x called for his warriors.


    Natalie stared at Carl x with hatred. It was the first time she had seen the enemy of the subjects of the whole Republic.


    Different from the warm and gentle Carl x felt by Chechen. In Natalie''s eyes, the king of the kingdom of Sweden is like a fierce lion. There was endless bright light in his eyes. Even sitting and smiling, he had a momentum of not being angry and self threatening. Although Carl X and King kazimiz are blood relatives, they are not at all like each other. Carl X''s cheeks are more plump, his chin is bigger, and he looks more dignified. Vaguely, Carl X''s face reminded Natalie of a person she had seen when she was a child: Prince yarimi, the hero of the Republic.


    King Carl x ordered the victorious Swedish warriors to go off the field. Then, Pedro and others were brought up.


    Mihau, Natalie, Anjie and others straightened their backs and responded without timidity to the curious eyes from all around.


    At this moment, Carl x changed his position in the armchair. He crossed his legs. Carl x first said to Mikhail, "I know you. You are Mikhail vorodjavsky, who is known as the first knife of the Republic of Poland. You hurt many of my warriors in the battle the day before yesterday."


    Everyone''s eyes immediately turned to mihau. Mikhail shook his moustache, bowed humbly, and said, "I''d like to hear your Majesty''s advice."


    King Carl x smiled.


    "Where did you serve in the past?"


    "Under yanush raziweu."


    "So you abandoned him and me?"


    When mihau heard this, he stared round.


    "I pledge allegiance to the orthodox kazimiz king of the Republic of Poland, not to you. When it comes to betrayal, Prince yanush and his brothers are the real kings who have betrayed themselves."


    The people around didn''t expect mihaw to say such words. A small half of the people looked at mihaw, but more than half looked at Prince bogusslav.


    Prince boguslav''s face turned red. He shouted angrily, "bold! You ungrateful fellow!"


    Carl x motioned the prince to take it easy. Then he turned his eyes to Pedro.


    Carl x greeted him affectionately and said, "Hello, uncle aleval Chechen. I didn''t expect you to be among my prisoners. Your nephew is my friend. When he came to Warsaw, I gave him a good treat at kazimi day palace."


    This made Pedro embarrassed in Natalie''s eyes and didn''t know how to answer Carl X.


    Fortunately, Carl x immediately skipped the topic. He asked Pedro again, "what position is your excellency now?"


    "I am the head of the mercenary Corps in the Republic of Poland."


    Carl x shook his head sadly.


    "Unfortunately, there are no talents. If aleval Chechen and you serve in my army, they will not be just a head."


    "Your majesty!" boguslav cried again. He had thought that Carl x would give Pedro and others to himself, but the king was tempted to solicit.


    Elector Hou grabbed his nephew''s hand and stopped his impulse.


    In the face of Carl X''s blatant solicitation, when Pedro was at a loss, Natalie stood up and said: "I''m sorry, your Majesty King Carl X. The Mercenary regiment led by head Pedro has signed a contract of service with the Republic. They will not work for others until the expiration of the contract. What''s more, Pedro and his nephew Cherchen love Poland and sympathize with the suffering of the Polish people."


    "Who is this?" Carl x looked at the pretty man in front of him and asked the attendant around him.


    Without waiting for the attendant to answer, Natalie reported to her family, "Natalie kishka."


    Carl put on a trace of sadness.


    "It was the daughter of janush kishka. I''m deeply sorry for your father''s misfortune."


    In the face of the false mercy of the cat and mouse, Natalie managed to resist her grief and the impulse to rush forward.


    "I will fulfill my father''s will," Natalie said, gritting her teeth.


    Carl X was speechless for a moment for this stubborn woman who was not as much as Mikhail. Then he shifted the object of his speech and talked to Anjie.


    Anjie''s attitude is completely consistent with that of mihau and Natalie.


    At this time, Carl x hesitated. Facing the tough resisters in front of him, Carl x hesitated whether he really wanted to let them go. Because Carl x knew more clearly that everyone except Pedro would continue to fight against the Republic.


    This is also Carl X''s attitude last night. But he had to change his mind because of an unexpected news he heard from a suitor. That''s why Carl x met Pedro and others today.


    For a long time, Carl x finally made up his mind.


    "Whoever raises his hand against me is the treason of this country. Because I am the legitimate monarch of this country. And you should be glad because I am a kind monarch. So although you disobeyed me, I will still give you a chance. I will release you and let you know my generosity. But there is only one such chance. If you fall again next time In my hands, the gallows will be waiting for you. Moreover, I would like to warn you that it is your wanton and meaningless persistence that makes this country full of war and sorrow. "


    Natalie couldn''t believe that this reversal of black and white would come from a king. She got rid of Pedro and grabbed her hand: "who and who elected you to be the king of our country."


    Carl x smiled with contempt.


    Carl x patted the sword hanging around his waist and said, "it''s it. It makes me your legitimate monarch. I don''t need your vote because it''s meaningless."


    With that, Carl x seemed to lose his interest in talking. He waved and motioned his men to take them down.


    Prince boguslav stopped talking. It can be seen that Carl X had made up his mind. He had to bite his teeth and swallow his words.


    When a Swedish officer returned Pedro''s personal belongings to him, Pedro looked incredible.


    "Look! What happened? We were scared to death last night, but today, Carl x released us after threatening us. It''s really strange."


    In this regard, Natalie said: "Carl x is the most cunning man. He must have a purpose."


    "For what purpose?" asked mihau.


    Natalie shook her head.


    "I don''t know. But for a moment, I really saw the killing in his eyes. It was only for a reason we didn''t know that he let us go."


    Then General Robert Douglas came up with a document in his hand. He was looking for Pedro..


    "Captain Pedro, please sign it."


    General Robert Douglas handed the document to Pedro.


    Pedro opened the document and looked at it. The content of the document was that the mercenary regiment would promise not to oppose the Swedish army and its allies for the next year.


    Although the time was three months longer than he promised, Pedro thought about it and signed it. After all, it was only three months longer, which was not a great event.


    General Robert Douglas accepted the document signed by Pedro with satisfaction. He said to Pedro with emotion: "it''s great to be able to do this. Captain Pedro, I have always been kind to Cherchen. Now we are not enemies, and my heart can be put down."


    General Robert Douglas''s words were sincere and his real feelings were revealed. After all, before last night, General Robert Douglas thought that Cherchen''s uncle was bound to die.


    "Thank you very much, General Robert Douglas," said Pedro, holding Robert Douglas''s hand.


    In his mind, General Robert Douglas must have contributed to his release.


    General Robert Douglas readily accepted Pedro''s thanks. General Robert Douglas realized that King Carl X''s later change of course might be due to rethinking his words.


    "Your mercenary regiment is already near the ferry. Although most of their weapons have been confiscated, it''s time of war and the road is not peaceful, so I specially left some for you. The nearby army has also been informed that you can leave at any time."


    With these words, General Robert Douglas returned to the manor and returned to King Carl X.


    Pedro, mihau and others left the manor and were escorted down to the ferry by a team of Swedish dragon cavalry. Bachit, father sparsokukotsky, Ingrid and others, as well as all the officers and nobles detained in the stables are waiting there.


    Seeing that everyone was safe, Pedro couldn''t help crying with joy. The mercenaries hugged each other and told each other their feelings.


    When Pedro hugged Ingrid, Ingrid said to Pedro, "great, great. I knew your Majesty would let you go."


    When Ingrid said this, Pedro was confused. He asked Ingrid, "Ingrid, did you ask for mercy?"


    Ingrid shook her head vigorously.


    "Commander, where do you want to go? How can I see his majesty Carl X."


    In fact, it was Ingrid who really prompted Carl x to let Pedro go, or the news that Christina was saved by Cherchen mentioned by Ingrid when she asked Carl x to see him (Ingrid was the only person who knew about Christina in the mercenary regiment after Cherchen went to Crimea, and the food when Christina hid was provided by her).


    Hearing that Christina was still alive and saved by Cherchen, Carl x turned a huge wave in his heart at that time. Because all along, Carl x thought Christina was dead. And he also promised an unprecedented bad check to the elector in the name of Christina. But now, Christina is still alive. From the fact that Christina was alive but didn''t come back to see herself, she knew she wanted her to die. Christina did not disclose her evil deeds to the public, nor did she return home to seek usurpation, which shows that Christina still thinks of herself and has feelings for herself. Maybe she has gone abroad now. Carl x didn''t know how much the Cherchen knew (from Ingrid, Carl x only knew that Cherchen saved Christina after the fall of Warsaw), but Carl X was sure that if he executed his uncle and lover, Cherchen would tell the story.


    Carl x, who threw a rat repellent weapon, had to let go of all the mercenaries in order not to annoy Cherchen and make his scandal public. Even if doing so would undermine their own espionage plan.


    When everyone crossed the levisva River and was away from the gun threat of the Swedish army, everyone was really relieved.


    Pedro was about to have a good laugh for the rest of his life, but Natalie came up to Pedro and asked, "Uncle Pedro, how can Chechen and Carl X be friends?"
