Swedens forces move across Livonia and Baltic fronts

Riga reports 45000 Swedish troops marching in three columns from Layas toward the Dvina region. One body tasked to guard fronts against mercenaries, another to approach Dusamüder forts, while the main force under the king aims to pass the Duks and strike Saxons from their posts. Additional dispatches note reinforcements, a plan to bridge the Oder, and talks of peace proposals to King Charles XII. The army faces extreme heat and disease risks as officers enforce strict discipline.
