In the camp in cherkesk, Cherchen slowly put down the blood book written by saijetbei with blood. In front of him was a helmet that bey had brought back as a keepsake.


    Outside the tent, the whole military camp was boiling like a pot of cooked porridge. Because when the messenger entered the camp, he shouted and spread the news of the defeat of sajetbei and karazimir to the whole camp.


    The army of nearly 5000 people was wiped out overnight. What a blow to the morale of the army! In particular, the two squadrons brought by Pedro have never seen or heard of the kalmec before, which is an unprecedented enemy for them.


    The rumor has been embellished by some people, and the Kalmyks have become synonymous with the devil.


    "Withdraw, withdraw!"


    The soldiers with an average age of over 30 shouted outside the tent.


    Of course, those who shouted these words were two squadrons brought by Pedro as mercenary soldiers. They are poles, and this is not the Republic of Poland. They resist to fight for pagans and demons. On the contrary, Hessian mercenaries fighting for money were relatively calm and calm.


    The tent was lifted and Pedro came out.


    The cry stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at the deputy head.


    Pedro was livid. He glanced at the crowd and ordered: get back!


    Frightened by Pedro''s power, the leading troublemakers shut their mouths and turned away.


    When Pedro returned to the tent, Cherchen, sitting in the chair, was still silent. This state has lasted for more than half an hour.


    Last night, the Isak clan leader went to Chechen''s camp to report. Although he knew that the Isak clan leader was released more than an hour after they set out, Chechen immediately got on his horse and tried to catch up with the Saijie tbei and stop them. But he was still a step late. When he arrived, the whole camp was already empty except for the 300 tribal cavalry of the head of Isak.


    Because it was dark and the patriarch of Isak didn''t know which suspicious place saijietbei was attacking at night, Cherchen had to take the rest of the camp back to the mercenary regiment''s station and wait until dawn to make plans.


    I didn''t expect such bad news at dawn.


    Finally, Chechen spoke. First, he asked the messenger kneeling on the ground with concern, "how are you there? How is the situation?"


    The disguised messenger first raised his head. He looked at Chechen''s face and showed a vicious look, but immediately, he realized that it would arouse suspicion. The messenger lowered his head and hid his eyes. Then he answered in a trembling voice:


    "Miserable... Rivers of blood... Hard work... A grave..."


    Che Chen covered his face with his hand. Although the messenger said only four words, the scene was clear in front of Cherchen.


    "Jesus Christ is on earth! God!" Chechen murmured.


    After a while, Chechen asked again, "can you persist for a long time?"


    "It won''t last long. Bey asked me to ask you as soon as possible..."


    "Are there many Kalmyks?"


    "There are five thousand of them, not much more than us, but we don''t support them because we were ambushed and karazimir died too early."


    "Karazimir, are we killed?"


    Che Chen "Teng" stood up.


    "Yes, Lord milza died bravely. In heaven, he will become God''s most favored servant. There, 72 virgins and a land flowing with milk and honey are waiting for him," said the messenger. But in the heart of the false Messenger, I''m afraid karazimir went to hell instead of heaven, and got 72 raisins instead of 72 virgins.


    "How many of you?"


    "When I came, bey had a thousand men under his command. We built a defensive position in front of a canyon and could resist the attack of the Kalmyks."


    There was a dead silence in the camp. The people present looked at each other, and everyone''s face showed hesitation and horror.


    Chechen had not yet spoken. At this time, the head of Isak stood up.


    "Sir, I don''t doubt you, but I''ve never seen you around sajetbei," said the patriarch of Isak. Obviously, the old patriarch suspected the identity of the messenger.


    Hearing what the patriarch Isaac said, everyone looked at the messenger.


    The messenger said calmly, "I''m an ordinary Centurion in the bey guard. It''s normal that you haven''t seen me."


    "Why didn''t serget bey send a stranger to you instead of someone we knew well? You know, it''s not common sense."


    "Bei Yi originally sent my chief Zahar, but on the way, the captain was shot and sacked by the turhute, so he had to give me the letter and let me take it out." the messenger explained calmly.


    After listening to this watertight explanation, the patriarch of Isak had nothing to say, and he retreated back to the queue.


    "Captain, should we retreat?"


    At this time, Pedro couldn''t help speaking out. Because he believes that even if Cherchen leads the whole army to rescue, the troops are not as strong as the Kalmyk people. It''s hard to get halfway. Saijetbei has been completely destroyed. At that time, these people will face twice their own enemies.


    The withdrawal of troops has become the consensus of almost all officers present. And this will gathered into eyes and looked at Chechen.


    Hearing this, the messenger raised his head. He threw himself in front of Chechen''s seat, and then a look of pleading appeared on his face like lightning. He pulled his clothes and sleeves at Chechen and said in a very pitiful voice:


    "Bey, my master has two arrows and three knives. Our people beat back the Kalmyk seven strong attacks and fought with them four times. The reason why we are so indomitable is that we believe that you will not abandon us! Please don''t abandon us..."


    At this time, Chechen''s heart actually had a decision. Saijit and Karachi sent troops without authorization regardless of their orders. As a result, one was defeated and killed and the other was heavily besieged. In fact, they are all to blame. Even if they don''t save themselves, no one can say that they are not right. But even so, it is extremely difficult for Cherchen to pass the test of his conscience - the fall of the free slave corps with Stephan Racine has left a deep scar in Cherchen''s heart. He really doesn''t want the tragedy to happen again.


    In addition, strategically speaking, the consequences of giving up seget are also extremely serious.


    With this in mind, Chechen asked the messenger, "can saijietbei persist until tonight?"


    "Yes! Yes!"


    As soon as Cherchen was ready to go, saijietbei, the messenger raised his tearful face and promised.


    Other people are looking at Cherchen. From Cherchen''s questions, we already know what decision he has made.


    Chechen weighed again, and he finally picked up the messenger. Che Chen patted his arms and said in a firm voice, "don''t worry, I will save everyone."
