Two days later, the fleet docked at the dock in Riga.


    Governor Magnus de la Gardier welcomed the thousands of mercenaries who had arrived at the pier - he clearly had received the order of King Carl X and knew that they would become his Majesty''s subordinates in the near future.


    Victor had a cordial conversation with Magnus at the dock. He is now the commander of the mercenary force temporarily appointed by ostro, and has command over all the mercenaries within a month.


    Through the cabin window, Chechen watched victor and Magnus de la Gardier''s every move.


    They talked happily, and Chechen noticed that Magnus de la Gardier didn''t look in his direction. Obviously Victor is loyal to his duty. He won''t tell the Swedes about Christina''s ship until the order from Warsaw comes.


    "Count Chechen."


    While Cherchen was observing carefully, Carlson''s voice came from behind.


    Chechen turned back and asked Carlson if Christina''s sister wanted to see him.


    Carlson shook his head. He said he had something to say to Chechen.


    "Count Chechen," said Carlson, "you and I both know that the fate of her majesty will be known in the next day or two. Now the ship is ashore in Riga. I wonder whether we should secretly invite field marshal Wittenberg to tell the field marshal about the current situation. Field marshal Wittenberg is resourceful and superior. He may have a better way we didn''t think of."


    Carlson didn''t know that the first thing Chechen looked for was Wittenberg, but alvid Wittenberg said "listen to God''s will".


    When Cherchen was about to tell Carlson that he had already gone to find Wittenberg, and he had no good way, Christina also appeared behind Carlson.


    She heard their conversation just now.


    "Carlson," Christina encouraged her subordinates, "don''t lose heart and don''t be disappointed. You have to believe that God will bless us."


    But neither Chechen nor Christina nor Carlson expected that the order from Warsaw would come so quickly.


    At night, the dock was brightly lit - Victor, on behalf of all the mercenaries, asked Magnus de la Gardier for the temporary garrison within the dock. He has good reason: he is worried that the influx of lawless mercenaries into Riga will cause unnecessary riots.


    This is also what Magnus de la Gardier is most worried about.


    As governor of Riga, he has the obligation and responsibility to protect the safety of the nobles and citizens in the city. So governor Riga readily agreed to Victor''s request.


    Under the bright moonlight, a pointed boat crossed a white water line like a swift on the water and approached Victor''s boat.


    The man on board climbed onto the ship after receiving the cable dropped from the ship. He went straight into Victor''s captain''s room barefoot.


    This scene happened to be seen by Che Chen who had been paying attention to it all the time. Due to Chechen''s special status, the mercenaries under Victor on duty on the deck did not stop Chechen, but let him close to the captain''s room.


    Then, Che Chen heard the following conversation:


    "Did your majesty send you?"


    "The Council and your majesty sent me."


    "What are the commands?"


    "The peace has been reached. I order you to act according to your plan."


    Hearing this, Chechen pushed the door open.


    The two men in the captain''s room didn''t expect someone to break in. When they saw the door pushed open, they both looked on alert.


    Victor saw that Chechen was the first to put down his vigilance and showed a happy expression.


    "It''s Chechen," Victor introduced to the other man. "Duke ovshane, this is count aleval Chechen."


    The man known as the Duke of ovshane also released his hand on the dagger at his waist.


    "It''s the count. It''s disrespectful."


    Chechen nodded to the Duke of ovshane. Then he caught a glimpse of a small pile of ashes left by the burning of paper on the table next to victor.


    He asked Victor if the Republic had negotiated peace with the kingdom of Sweden.


    "Yes," said Victor, "the agreement has been reached and the four-year war is finally over. The Duke of ovshane of the Senate is here to convey this order."


    "What about us now? What does his majesty have for us?"


    Victor seemed to hesitate, but he immediately told Cherchen the king''s order brought by Duke ovshane.


    "His majesty ordered Carl X''s messenger to return to Riga immediately.


    "What about Queen Christina and alvid Wittenberg?"


    Victor seemed to hesitate again.


    "Your Majesty wants us to hand over the queen to Magnus de la Gardier. According to the agreement, the queen will spend the rest of her life in Lin Xueping''s monastery; as for field marshal alvid videnberg, he will return to zamoshi ?''s prison as if he had never been out."


    After that, Victor thought that Chechen was going to get angry, because Victor knew more or less the feelings between Chechen and Christina. But Che Chen was indifferent. Instead, he nodded and said, "it''s good. For anyone, this is the best ending."


    Victor is a little incredible.


    "Don''t look at me like that, uncle victor." when Chechen saw Victor''s incredible face, he explained as if nothing had happened: "I am now the count of the Republic. Of course, the interests of the Republic should be the most important. Moreover, in order to complete the cause that his majesty asked me to help Christina''s sister, I have almost all my assets. Now the task has been cancelled and my property has been saved."


    Chechen saw Victor de la Buscado with a happy and sad expression.


    Before Chechen wanted to understand the meaning of Victor''s expression, he saw that Chechen and Victor were happy. The Duke of ovshane said excitedly, "great, let''s act now and take Christina immediately."


    "Wait a minute!" Chechen stretched out his hand to stop.


    The Duke of ovshane showed a puzzled expression.


    Chechen said to the Duke of ovshane, "I know the character of Queen Christina. If we take many people down, the queen will resist. Although there is only one Carlson around her, it would not be beautiful if our people hurt the queen in the fight."


    After listening to Chechen''s words, Duke ovshane fell into silence at the same time.


    Indeed, Christina is the queen of Sweden. She is the heir of the vasa family with noble blood. She is also from the same vein as king Jan kazimiz. Even if she is hurt, she can''t bear it.


    "In my opinion," said Chechen, "it''s better for the three of us to go down and lie that his majesty has sent an order to act tonight. Christina trusts me and she won''t doubt me. Then I''ll go behind her and control her, and you can subdue Carlson."


    The Duke of ovshane thought, and Cherchen''s method was indeed the best.


    This is, cried Victor, "yes, this is the safest way."


    Seeing that Victor meant the same thing, the Duke agreed to Cherchen''s way and decided to do so.
