Editing With Fire and Sword (section)

===Chapters XVI–XXVII===

Chmielnicki frees Jan to parley with the Prince. Skrzetuski passes through a devastated landscape to Czyhryn and then to Rozlogi, where he discovers that Helena has disappeared. He mistakenly believes that Helena has been spirited away by Bohun. In reality, after capturing Rzędzian and discovering Skrzetuski's plan to marry Helena, Bohun went immediately to Rozlogi to wed her. However, Zagłoba, who accompanied him, spirited her away after Bohun was wounded by Mikołaj (Nicholas), one of the old Princess' sons. Instead of heading for [[Lubny|Lubni]], they headed for [[Cherkasy|Czerkasy]] but are caught between Bohun's force and Chmielnicki's advancing army. To disguise themselves Zagłoba pounces on an old blind minstrel and a young boy and steals their clothes. At a village named Demianówka (Demianovka), Zagłoba persuades the villagers to flee to Chmielnicki's force taking himself and Helena with them. Zagłoba eventually decides the safest place is on the right bank of the [[Dnieper]] and, just as they are crossing, Bohun's Cossacks appear at the river's bank but it is too late to stop the runaways.

Prince Jeremi's army arrives at Rozlogi and Skrzetuski is reunited with Wiśniowiecki. After returning to Lubni, preparations are made to march and Lubni is abandoned to its fate. They end up marching through the forests to [[Czernihów]] (Chernigov) where Chmielnicki attempts to burn the wood. They eventually cross the Dnieper and go through the [[Pripet Marshes]], and reach the region of revolt where they wreak revenge on the Cossacks. The Brotherhood meet to determine how to respond and eventually [[Maksym Kryvonis|Maksim Krzywonos]] (Krivonos) agrees to lead a 60,000 army to Machnówka (Makhnivka) to fight the Prince. His son besieges the castle but the Prince's hussars eventually crush the rebels.
