Unknown Knight

Chapter 69 Ambush on the road

As the person with the highest status at the wedding banquet, Aix was naturally the focus of everyone's attention and received many toasts. To the extent that he was too lazy to get up from the bed until noon the next day.

Maybe because she was in her own territory and her parents were not around, Miss Tsuna did not get up early like usual to remind him of the impact, but instead stayed in bed with the two of them.

The young couple was enjoying the sweet time in the early morning when suddenly a noise at the bedroom door interrupted them. The speaker was a tribesman from his hometown. He was blocked by the shield girl outside and could not enter the bedroom to report. He could only shout loudly in Chinese:

"My lord! My lord! Woe, woe! The pirates have taken Talboliya, my lord!"

"what!"

Aix got up with a start, turned over and got out of bed, and opened the door without even putting on his shirt. Outside the door, a tribesman with a face covered in mud and blood was lying at the feet of the shield girl who was trying to stop him from getting in. When he saw Aix come out, he immediately burst into tears and said:

"My Lord! You must avenge our people and all the people in our territory!"

Aix came up to him in one step, helped him up with both hands and said:

"What's going on? What's going on? Weren't they fine when they left? Where did these pirates come from? Were they sent by that bastard Eden?"

"I don't know. When I left three days ago, the pirates had already broken through the outer village. Sir John asked me to find you no matter what. Sir, you must find a way to save them!"

Axe felt his head buzzing and his vision went dark. He almost fainted, but suddenly he seemed to understand something. He turned around and rushed into the house. Miss Gangde had not put on her clothes yet and was tying the ribbon on her front. He pulled her over with both hands and yelled at her:

"Do you know something? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you deliberately not letting me return to the territory? Come on, tell me!"

As Miss Tsuna was shaken by him, tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed:

"I don't want you to go and die. They have gathered more than 3,000 people. Father and King Ragnar were threatened and warned by them and had to appoint Eden as the national commander. If you go back, they will kill you. Can you stay with me? Can we live a peaceful life here together?"

"You! Do you know that there are thousands of people in Talboliya? Just because you said you didn't want me to die, you took their lives. Do you know that? I will never forgive you in my life!"

Aix pushed Tsuna onto the bed, took his sword and walked out, shouting:

"Leaders of the Tower, if you are a man, follow me. The pirates have invaded our territory and killed our relatives. Avenge them!"

"Roar!" In just a moment, all the men who heard it were ignited. They roared and put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and led their horses.

Aix took the reins handed over by Liu Tang, looked back at the people who were still gathering here. He couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped on the horse, shook the reins hard, and galloped towards Talboliya.

He turned a deaf ear to the whistling of the wind in his ears, the calls of his subordinates behind him, and Miss Tsuna's crying and begging. At this moment, all he thought about was how to return to Talboria as soon as possible.

There was almost everything he cherished in the world: Yamila, Kress, Old John, Amanti, Catherine, Old John, Li Da, Zhang Ping, more than a hundred tribesmen who depended on him, and eight or nine hundred subjects who loved and admired him.

He knew very well how cruel the pirates were. They would rarely leave anyone alive after robbing them. They would turn other people's skulls into wine bowls. It was said that when they were lost at sea and had no food, they would even eat the flesh of slaves alive. If the subjects of the territory fell into their hands, their tragic fate could be imagined. Thinking of this, he could not help but whip his horse whip hard and speed up his riding.

In just one day and one night, he had already traveled beyond the city limits of Sagos and was about to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Swadia. Niza, who had finally caught up with him, leaned over and grabbed his reins, stopped the horse and said:

"Sir! Wait for the subordinates behind you. It is very dangerous for you to return to the territory alone now, and it won't solve any problems! Wait for the brothers to come, and then we can think of a solution together!"

After a day and a night of intensive marching, Aix had regained his sanity. Hearing what Niza said, he did not respond much, but got off the horse. Seeing a patch of green grass next to him, he walked over with bowed steps, lay down on the grass, and fell asleep.

About half an hour later, more than thirty riders came up from behind. The rumbling sound of horse hooves woke him up from his slumber. As soon as he stood up, he felt extremely hungry. Then he realized that he had not brought any dry food. Fortunately, his personal guard Liu Tang was well prepared and handed him a piece of bread and a water bag. He did not say much, wolfed down half of the bread in three or two bites, drank half of the water in the water bag, and then sat down on the grass to rest.

More than half an hour later, seeing that the more than 30 cavalrymen who had followed had eaten their rations and rested for a while, Aix still stood up without saying a word, walked to the horses that were grazing on the side, then jumped on the horses and continued to rush towards the territory.

However, he did not push the horse hard this time. They were almost at the territory, so it was necessary to maintain the horsepower. He began to think about what solutions there were. After all, Tsunayoshi said that they had nearly 3,000 people, which basically exceeded the maximum number of people that each country on the continent could gather. Usually, when a country wanted to launch a battle, it would only gather more than 1,000 people to participate.

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any solution for the moment, which made Aix anxious. He unconsciously squeezed the horse's belly and sped up.

In a trance, he rode forward only by instinct, his mind full of thoughts about what to do, his pupils were out of focus, and he didn't pay any attention to any changes in his surroundings. Suddenly, there was a neighing of the horse, and his whole body flew off the horse.

When he was in the air, he could see clearly that there was a tripwire that was erected straight on the road in front of the horse's hooves. He fell off his horse and landed on the ground with his back like a piece of wood. Then he bounced up half a foot in the air and slid forward more than a meter.

He only felt a dull pain in his chest, a feeling he had experienced once before. It was the same pain as when he was hit by a truck when he traveled through time. It felt like something in his chest was about to come out of his mouth. He stretched his neck and wanted to sit up, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt dizzy and nauseous. With a "wow", he spat out a mouthful of blood. He no longer had the strength to move at all, and passed out immediately.

Before closing his eyes, he vaguely saw many ferocious Nord pirates rushing out from both sides of the road. Niza, Fatis, Liu Tang and others were desperately rushing towards him, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Protect the Lord——!"

Before he lost consciousness, he felt extremely regretful and said to himself helplessly:

"You are still so reckless, Wang Baoping, Wang Baoping, you haven't improved at all, is this the end..."

Life is like a journey, and Aix felt that this journey should be on a boat. He felt that he was shaking every moment, and every time he shook, he felt nauseous, just like the feeling of taking a boat when he was a child.

"Ugh!" He really couldn't help it, so he turned over and vomited.

It was not a big deal that he vomited, but it caused a commotion around him. Someone picked him up and helped him up. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting on a small wooden cart. In front of him stood Niza and five Han people. The person who was supporting him was either Liu Tang or someone else. This person was looking at him with tears in his eyes and holding a dirty cloth in his hand, wiping the vomit left on the corner of his mouth.

Rubbing his eyes and patting his aching forehead, Aix let out a breath and asked Niza:

"Where are we? Where are the others?"

"Reporting to the Lord, we are now heading to the vicinity of Viruga. There is a secret place there where I stayed when I was recovering from my injuries. It is relatively secret and safe there, and it is not easy to be hunted down. You can recuperate there."

"Where are Bandak, Fatis, Desevi, Ranhu and the others? And where are the other brothers in the cavalry?"

Axel still asked unwillingly.

Niza looked embarrassed, but when he saw Axe looking at him angrily, he hesitated and had to tell him what had happened.

It turned out that when he fell off his horse and passed out that day, Liu Tang and Niza, who were closest to him, ran to him first and protected him. There were two or three hundred Nord pirates ambushing them. Seeing that they were about to be surrounded by the pirates, Bandak and Fatis asked Niza and Liu Tang to take a few people to protect Aix and leave first, while the rest of them stayed behind to block them and buy them time to escape.

After a bloody battle, Niza, Liu Tang and several cavalrymen finally escaped with him, but the fate of Bandak, Fatis and the rest of the cavalry was uncertain.

When Aix heard that Bandak, Fatis and others were in danger, he immediately got up and got out of the car to look for them. However, he was ultimately defeated by his own body. He felt chest tightness, nausea and dizziness, and all his efforts were in vain. He was panting and sweating.

"Sir, you have been unconscious for nearly two days and one night. We may not be able to find them even if we go there now. You should lie down and have a good rest. It won't be too late to think of a solution after you recover."

Nizza comforted him, Liu Tang and several others also advised him, so Aix had no choice but to nod and lie down to rest.

He lay down again, still feeling a little nauseous as the wooden cart swayed as it moved forward. Thinking back on the nausea he felt when he had just stood up, he felt that he might have suffered a concussion from the fall.

Although he had never suffered such an injury before, when he was in college in his previous life, a classmate in the same dormitory was hit by a motorcycle and was diagnosed with a concussion, which is the symptom he just mentioned.

There are no instruments here to do a brain CT scan or something, and he doesn't know whether his concussion is mild or severe. If it is severe, it will leave sequelae. He is also not sure whether there is blood clot in the brain. If there is blood clot, it will be even more troublesome. This is no joke. Even though he is extremely uneasy, he has to lie down and rest. There is no other way.
