The Swedish King Karl X Gustav, who has moved his army from Germany to occupy Jutland, can easily access Copenhagen.
In South Zealand, the Danish Snapphane militiamen fight against the Swedish supremacy under the leadership of Svend Poulsen, who is called the Gønge-chieftain (Gøngehøvdingen, after the historical Danish shire of Gønge in Scania).
Svend gets an unofficial assignment from King Frederik III to travel to Vordingborg Church to collect 50,000 Rigsdaler-coins and securities belonging to the King.
