General Robert Douglas took his adjutant aboard the first ship.


    Head on, a Spanish mercenary with a crutch came up.


    "Your Excellency, I can''t find a way to see you again." Victor de la Buscado greeted Robert Douglas with a smile.


    General Robert Douglas also recognized Victor de la Buscado. He exchanged a few greetings with the Spanish mercenary, and then said the purpose of this visit - he wanted a routine inspection.


    "Of course," said Victor de la Buscado with a smile, "so, you and I go to the captain''s room for a drink and let your adjutant check on the ship?"


    Robert Douglas rejected Victor de la Buscado''s suggestion. He asked the adjutant and Victor to look around while he went down to the cabin to check.


    Robert Douglas''s aide secretly praised general, worthy of his meticulous mind. He and the Spanish officer can not only watch him, but also the general is alone without constraints. He may be able to see what others don''t want him to see.


    So the adjutant, accompanied by Victor, walked towards the stern of the troop carrier, and Robert Douglas got off the cabin.


    The cabin is full of all kinds of pungent smell. Robert Douglas is familiar and unfamiliar with this kind of smell - the ship he took from Scotland to Sweden was full of similar smell.


    Eating maggot cheese and insect biscuits, eating salted beef whose age can be their elders, and drinking stinky rum. In the eyes of the captain, these people and sailors are not even as good as the animals on the ship. Because in extreme water shortage, the captain''s cat and dog can get enough water, but their fresh water should be halved. On the ship, even going to the toilet is a dangerous thing, because if you want to go behind the statue in the bow of the ship, you will fall down if you are not careful.


    Such a tragic fate was finally changed after he arrived in Sweden, and the person who changed his fate was


    Robert Douglas continued to walk deep into the cabin. It was obvious that the troop carrier carried mostly Quartermaster items. The cabin was filled with boxes of various sizes. The aisle was very narrow. A strong figure like Robert Douglas had to walk sideways.


    At the end of the road, a torch suddenly lit up.


    At the end, Christina, wearing a Swedish military uniform, was sitting in an armchair, with Carlson and Cherchen standing behind her.


    Robert Douglas approached Christina. He fell on his knees and kissed the hem of the Queen''s uniform.


    "Your Majesty, I finally see you again." Robert Douglas burst into tears.


    Seeing that the Scottish general who had been met by Christina was still loyal to the queen, Chechen and Carlson smiled at each other.


    Christina stood up and helped Robert Douglas. She thanked Robert Douglas for his unwavering loyalty and said that she would repay his loyalty in the future.


    Then Christina asked Robert Douglas about her cousin, Carl X.


    Christina''s emotions are complicated when it comes to the name Carl. Because this is the man he once loved, but he didn''t hesitate to kill himself for his great cause.


    "His majesty Carl is in poor health. He has pneumonia, which was the root cause of the disease when he fought in Denmark," said Robert Douglas.


    As the king''s illness is the top secret of the Kingdom, only a few people in Sweden know it, and Christina and Cherchen know nothing about it.


    "Your Majesty Carl is coughing up blood every day, and more and more times."


    Hearing the tragedy of Carl x, Christina couldn''t help showing pity and pity in her eyes.


    Is Carl really a man born for war? He has become so ill, but he has to continue to fight with the poles and fight a war that is doomed to victory.


    "Everyone is amazed at the king''s strong willpower. However, it is rumored that his majesty Carl X has initiated the idea of peace talks, and the relevant armistice has been discussed."


    Robert Douglas''s words once again stunned Cherchen and Christiana.


    "When did this happen? And how are the negotiations going now?" Chechen asked anxiously.


    He didn''t even salute Robert Douglas.


    Robert Douglas knew Cherchen, and he also knew that this was what Christina wanted to know, so he said everything he knew.


    The negotiations with the Polish special envoy began at the end of January this year and were carried out secretly. Envoys from the Swedish side secretly went to Warsaw as intermediaries through the Saxony elector. However, General Robert Douglas did not know the specific details of the negotiations because he was a soldier and he did not participate in the negotiations.


    Christina and Cherchen were thinking that the negotiations between Poland and Sweden might not be smooth, otherwise there would be no such action.


    After Christina called Robert Douglas "my general" and thanked him again, General Robert Douglas left.


    After a while, Victor de la Buscado got out of the cabin on crutches.


    "Your Majesty, Cherchen. The Swedes have let me go now. I believe it won''t take us long to reach Riga."


    "Thanks, victor." Christina''s voice came out of the dark, dignified and polite.


    Victor bowed slightly towards the darkness. He turned back to board the deck, but heard footsteps.


    "Uncle Victor, I''ll go up with you."


    This is Chechen''s voice.


    So they got out of the cabin.


    Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the cabin for too long, Chechen''s eyes couldn''t use the sunshine outside for a moment. He narrowed his eyes in the direct sunlight.


    Victor stood in front of Cherchen and blocked the sun for him until Cherchen recovered.


    "Thank you."


    Although this is only a trivial matter, and now Cherchen''s identity and status are far higher than victor, Cherchen still has a polite attitude towards uncle victor.


    "It''s just a small effort," replied Victor de la Buscado with a smile.


    At this time, the fleet again hung up its sails and drove on the dogava river at full speed, and the fort blocking the river bank on the bank became smaller and disappeared in the eyes of Cherchen and Victor de la Buscado at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Chechen leaned against the side of the ship. He seemed to inadvertently ask Victor, "Uncle Victor, does your majesty have any other orders besides asking you to escort Queen Christina and assist me?"


    This question made Victor de la Buscado look straight at Cherchen''s side face, as if he wanted to see something.


    But Chechen''s face was as usual, and Victor couldn''t see anything.


    Victor refocused his eyes on the view of the river bank. His lips opened and closed and said; "No, your majesty has no special orders. Why do you ask?"


    King Victor de rabskadojan kachmidge sent to assist Chechen.


    Before they set out, the king temporarily ordered Cherchen to act separately from the rest of the mercenary regiment - Cherchen led the mercenaries by water; Pedro and others went to Riga by sea through konigsburg.


    King Jan kachmidge gave the reason that Chechen and his officers are now famous. It is difficult for a group of people to be recognized by other mercenaries.


    Chechen changed his position and leaned his whole back against the side of the ship.


    "Because I just heard a message from Robert Douglas that Carl x sent secret envoys to Warsaw, and his majesty also contacted Carl X''s people. I''m worried that if we take action in Riga and his majesty and the Swedes reach peace talks during this period, we will bear the crime of undermining the peace talks."


    Victor de la Buscado knew that this was what Chechen was worried about.


    He was a little relieved, because Chechen was worried about his Majesty''s affairs.


    Knowing Cherchen''s thoughts, Victor secretly laughed that Cherchen was worried, because before coming, King Jan kachmidge had told him how to deal with this problem.


    "You don''t have to worry, Cherchen," said Victor firmly. "Many fishermen and ship owners on the dogava River are intelligence agents of the Republic. If your majesty really has orders, these intelligence agents will soon deliver the king''s orders to us."


    "Then I''ll rest assured." Chechen was relieved to hear Victor say so, like a big stone falling to the ground.


    Suddenly, Chechen''s face collapsed.


    "No," he said, hitting the wooden side of the boat with a hard blow.


    "What''s the matter?" Victor had some doubts about Cherchen''s reaction.


    "Victor, your majesty may have missed one thing." Chechen sighed.


    And the hot sweat came out of Chechen''s forehead, which seemed to be very important at this time.


    Victor thought about it. He didn''t realize what his Majesty''s orders were.


    "Queen Christina, Queen!" Chechen explained anxiously, "Your Majesty obviously missed the queen of Sweden on our ship. What if the negotiations between the two countries are reached and the queen refuses to give up and wants to launch a reset uprising in Riga? Note that I gave her all the money and she can buy all the mercenaries!"


    Victor looked at Cherchen in panic, thinking of the Republic and the king. He patted Cherchen on the shoulder and decided to reveal something to Cherchen.


    "Don''t worry. If this happens, your majesty has told me what to do ahead of time."
