The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 84: Stranger 2
At the beginning, Fedot said that there were two people riding behind him. This was actually inaccurate. Because one of them, the companion in the mouth of the little knight, was almost lying on horseback.
This is an old man about fifty years old. He has sparse black hair on one head, and the hair on both sides of his ears is shaved, leaving only a bunch of the top of his head, which looks extremely ridiculous. But if you see his face, no one can laugh. It was a face that was as mighty and unyielding as a lion. Although the old man closed his eyes because of the pain, the majestic face like a **** can still shock the ordinary people in the world.
"A person like this will never have a companion." Cheer Chen looked at the old man's appearance, and the thought flashed through for the first time.
Apparently, the little knight lied.
And the clothes the old man wore was even more amazing. It was a scaly armor made of golden armor pieces. In this age of plate armor and firearms, few people have worn this gorgeous but more cumbersome armor, but the defense is almost the same as the lightweight half-body armor.
There is a faint blood on the chest of the scale armor. It is obvious that the old man's left chest was seriously injured.
The old man's waist is tied with a gold belt, and the saber on the belt is also extremely gorgeous. The top is full of gems, red, green, and yellow, all complementing each other.
This whole person is simply a moving golden mountain.
Pidro was stunned. He dare to say that even the king of Spain can't be so luxurious and spend money like dirt.
The little knight ignored the eyes of everyone and jumped off the horse to help the old man get off the horse. The old man was obviously still conscious. When he got off the horse, the old man let out a painful groan because of the wound on his chest. But immediately, the old man endured it and went back.
Fatima and Fydot jumped out of the carriage so that the little knight could help the old man into the carriage more easily.
And Cheorchen and Pidro also came up to help. The little knight took off his cloak and laid it on the carriage before letting the old man lie on it.
"Thanks a lot." After finishing everything, the little knight thanked Cheerchen and the others.
"You're welcome, let's hurry up. If we go faster, we might be able to reach Polotsk before the sun sets," Chechen said.
"It's impossible. It's still far from Polotsk. It's definitely not possible today."
The little knight is obviously very familiar with this area.
"My name is Cheechen, this is my uncle Pidro, that one is Fedot, and Fatima. We are all members of a mercenary group, and I am the leader." Cheechen introduced.
"My name is Michael. As for my surname and the identity of my companion, please forgive me for not telling me for the time being." The little knight named Michael said.
"Let's get on the road first, let's talk while walking." Cheerchen nodded, although he was also full of curiosity about the identity of the old man, but since Michael had spoken in advance, he didn't have much time to inquire.
In this era, who has no secrets.
Everyone continued on. Because the old man occupied the carriage, Michael suggested that Fedot and Fatima could ride the old man's mount. But Fatima let Fedot sit in the passenger seat of the carriage and ride a horse with Cheor Chen.
"Everyone, what is your team going to Polotsk for?" Michael asked Chechen and the others about the purpose of their trip to Polotsk. In his opinion, even though Cheer Chen called the four members a mercenary group, if there were only four members in a mercenary group, then the so-called "group" was really small and pitiful. Michael prefers to call them the team.
"In fact, we are not going to Polotsk. Our destination is to go to Werner to join Prince Janusz’s army." Now that the two men were identified as Polish soldiers, Cheerchen did not intend to conceal the purpose of the four. So he stated the purpose of going to Werner.
Michael heard the words Prince Yanush from Chechen's mouth, and his expression shook. But he quickly concealed the past.
"Do you know Prince Yanush?" Michael asked.
"I don't know, but we all escaped from Smolensk, and we have blood and blood feuds with Tsarist Russia. We know that King Yanush is just fighting against Tsarist Russia's army, so we went to help."
"Then you are late." Michael lowered his head and said, his tone was not without sorrow.
"What did you say?" Cheerchen asked in surprise.
Other people also looked at Michael.
"The prince's army was defeated by the czar."
This answer shocked everyone. Prince Yanush was defeated, and the figure who was regarded by Captain Franco as the savior of Smolensk was also defeated by Tsarist Russia.
"When is this happening!"
"Just a few days ago. To tell the truth, we are the prince's men. The prince led an army of 16,000 and a decisive battle with the army of more than 80,000 Tsarist Russia. Although our wing cavalry penetrated the enemy's nine-strand battle array, The impact was almost wiped out. The enemy surrounded us with several times more force than our prince, and the team was dispersed. We also finally broke through. My companion stumbled on the way to break through. He fell off his horse and was injured."
Tetsuchen and Pidro were at a loss. Originally, they wanted to join the Polish army in Lithuania to fight back to Smolensk to avenge the mercenary comrades, but now that Prince Yanush was defeated by the Tsar. What's the point of going to Werner again? Where is their road to revenge?
"Everyone, although the prince’s army has been defeated. Victory or defeat is a common matter in the military. Our prince will surely regroup and fight the invaders again. There will be no other choices in war. Because the prince is a man of this character, He only has victory in his eyes and will not tolerate defeat. Therefore, it is the right time for you to go to Werner. The Lithuanian army is in a state of desperation and needs people like you to take refuge. Wait for my companions to raise them in Polotsk. If you are injured, I will take you to Werner."
Michael saw Cheorchen and Pidro heard that Prince Yanush was defeated and his morale was low, so he hurriedly encouraged.
The sonorous words of the little knight gave Cheorchen and Pidro more confidence. Moreover, with the introduction of Michael, a soldier under Prince Yanush, Cheerchen and others would be more certain to join the army.
For fear of affecting the injured, the carriage did not dare to drive too fast. The group of people was a lot slower than just now. Seeing the sun is about to set, everyone must find a place to rest for a night before they can continue on their way.
can be wild countryside, where is there a cottage farmhouse?
"Michael, do you know where there is a village near here?" Cheerchen asked. He mistakenly thought that Michael was a local, and he should be more familiar with this area.
But this is Tetsuchen who misunderstood Michael. Michael is Polish, but not Lithuanian. He led his army from Minsk to Werna to meet with Prince Yanush and fend off the tsar's attack together. Therefore, Michael generally knows the length of the distance between the towns in this area, but he does not understand or cannot understand the location of small villages and noble manors.
