That night, Chechen stayed up all night. When Chechen came downstairs the next day to the mission team that was preparing to pack and start, Stanislaw pototsky looked at Chechen\'s dark circles and said to him, "don\'t be so heavy, child. Success or failure is God\'s will."

Obviously, the old man thought that Che Chen was worried about how to persuade Bao Hong.

In this regard, Chechen had to smile back and thank the old man for his concern.

Last night, for the things entrusted to him by the old man, Chechen didn\'t think much after the old man left. He thought about Princess Helena and the children of brother Bao Hong.

A rustle of armor came from behind. Chechen and Stanislaw pototsky looked back and saw Colonel Jan skzedusky coming.

"Gentlemen, my wing cavalry squadron is ready to escort you at any time," said the colonel in a deep voice.

"Thank you very much, Colonel. We can start right away."

Five minutes later, the old man got into the carriage. And Chechen also rode a horse. The mission, escorted by a squadron of winged cavalry, went out of the zbalari fortress.

When walking out of the gate, Chechen turned back and took a final look at the fortress. He did not know whether Princess Helena was behind a window.

"Chechen, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Jan scorzedusky passed by Cherchen. He saw Cherchen looking back, so he asked.

"No, nothing." after all, Chechen was guilty. He quickly retracted his eyes, then echoed with the colonel and followed the carriage forward.

Jan skzedusky stopped his horse, and he looked somewhere in the fortress, with a complex light in his eyes.

The zbalari region is desolate. The team came all the way. Chechen didn\'t see many farms and cottages. Instead, he saw many cylindrical buildings five or six meters high. These buildings are wide at the bottom and narrow at the bottom, and there are holes in the wall, like gun holes. One by one, it looks like a blockhouse.

But if these are bunkers, they are too small. According to Chechen\'s visual inspection, the maximum number of them is 7 or 8 people, and they can\'t place artillery of any caliber. In wartime, once the enemy adopts the strategy of encircling but not attacking, the people in these blockhouses will starve to death sooner or later.

Colonel Jan skzedusky is an old soldier. He can\'t be unaware of this. Cherchen is a little strange.

Just as he passed the seventh bunker that Chechen saw, the Colonel stopped in front of one of them.

"Stop!" he shouted.

So the whole paper team stopped.

When he found the carriage stopped, Stanislaw pototsky poked his head out of the carriage. He asked Cherchen beside the carriage, "what happened?"

Chechen didn\'t know what had happened. He sued the boss, and then leaned towards Yang skzedusky.

At this time, it was sunny and breezy, and the wings behind the Colonel\'s winged cavalry armor were swinging with the wind, like an eagle spreading its wings to fly.

"Colonel, the boss asked how the team stopped." Chechen said.

Jan skzedusky looked at the bunker and didn\'t answer.

The door of the bunker opened. A man dressed as a Polish Germanic Musketeer ran out of the bunker and ran in front of the colonel.

"Grozitsky, what\'s going on around here? Are there any Cossacks active recently?" asked Jan skzedusky.

The Musketeer named grozitsky replied, "Colonel, those sons of bitches have been quiet lately."

Jan skzedusky nodded.

"So, have you found the person I asked you to find?"

"It\'s all found, Colonel."

After asking, Jan skzedusky said to Cherchen, "yes, please reply to the old man and the team will continue to move forward."

Che Chen looked at the blockhouses again. He understood that these blockhouses played the role of monitoring the whereabouts of zaporoze Cossacks around. As long as a person stands at the top of the bunker, he can have a panoramic view of the surrounding 20 or 30 square kilometers. But obviously, his previous questions have not been solved. So while he was right by the Colonel\'s side, Chechen put forward his questions to Jan skzedusky.

Perhaps because Chechen once saved himself, Jan skzedusky didn\'t treat Chechen as business and indifferent as old lord Stanislaw pototsky. He explained to Chechen that these bunkers were indeed used to monitor the nearby area as Chechen guessed. Since this year, the situation in the Kazakh emirate has been turbulent due to the serious illness of khmelinitsky and the invasion of the Crimean khanate, the large-scale invasion of the Cossacks has stopped, and what they and the garrison of the fortress have to deal with is nothing more than Cossack gangs of hundreds or dozens of people. These gangs often go deep into their own jurisdiction to plunder. When the garrison of the fortress heard the news, they had already fled. In response to this small-scale invasion, he built his own bunker and configured a small team of infantry defense. This force is more than enough to deal with a small group of poorly equipped Cossack gangs; When the number of invaders exceeded the range that the team could cope with, they lit a bonfire on the top floor of the bunker, informed the garrison of the fortress for support, and relied on the fortress to firmly hold the enemy. Zaporoze Cossacks are mostly infantry. As long as they can delay for an hour and a half, their cavalry will arrive immediately and chop them in pieces.

After listening to Jan skzedusky\'s explanation, Cherchen finally understood. The Colonel\'s practice was based on the actual situation of zbalari, but he didn\'t know it, so he talked on paper there.

The team marched for another 3 or 4 hours, and the mission came down to the Bank of the Nish River under the Colonel\'s escort. This is the nominal boundary between the Republic of Poland and the Cossack emirate. After crossing the river, the mission entered the boundary of zaporoze Cossacks.

Rafts and Cossack boats called chichak had long been waiting on the Bank of the river.

The Colonel thanked Stanislaw pototsky and Cherchen, who were escorted by himself and the wing cavalry squadron after getting out of the carriage. "These boatmans are reliable people. They are familiar with the waters and can avoid any reefs and eddies."

It turned out that these were the people the Colonel asked grozitsky to find.

It can also be seen from this that Jan skzedusky is a soldier with a clear distinction between public and private. Although he disagreed with old lord Stanislaw pototsky, he still did his duty.

Stanislaw pototsky was also deeply moved. He firmly held the Colonel\'s hand and thanked him.

Jan skzedusky reminded Cherchen that after entering the territory of the Cossacks, he immediately sent messengers to Kiev to inform them that they were an envoy rather than others. This is because the Cossacks in this area are the most rogue and undisciplined mobs. They are only nominally under the command of Kiev. In fact, they often go their own way; And unless it is a distinguished zaporoze Cossack from Kiev, others, even the Cossack leader of the nearby stronghold, should not believe it. Because many of them are robbers who kill people and steal goods, they often bury their bodies in the ground after killing people without revealing any information to Kiev. Cherchen kept in mind Colonel Jan skzedusky\'s experience.
