[Assassin's Creed] How to tame the Italian cannon king

As the journey continued, they slowly entered a canyon, and the voices of the conversations between the few began to echo between the cliffs on both sides.Ezio scanned the almost invisible cliff tops on both sides, and suddenly tensed up.A mist rose from the canyon, and the surrounding suddenly became cold, which made him feel uneasy.Leonardo was unaware of these, but Anastasia was influenced by the assassins, noticed Ezio's appearance again, and became vigilant.

Suddenly, a small rock fell from the cliff, and Ezio looked up, squinting at the dim sun in the sky, and saw an eagle soaring there.

Now even the rough Leonardo became alert, "What happened?"

"Someone has come to keep us company," Ezio replied. "There may be enemy archers in ambush on the high cliffs."

But then he heard thunderous hooves, and several horses were approaching from behind.

Ezio turned his head, and his excellent eyesight made him clearly see six riders coming towards this side. The flag pattern in their hands was a red cross on a yellow shield.

"Pojir!" He immediately pulled out the sword at his waist. At this moment, a gun was embedded in the side of the truck.

Anastasia also reacted quickly and untied the two horses tied to the ox cart.

"Anna! Run forward with Leonardo!" Ezio yelled as he swung his sword to fend off the arrows shot from the cliff, "They are after me! Not you! No matter what happens, keep going!" just before!"

Anna nodded, and pulled Leonardo onto her own horse.The riding skills Ezio taught her finally came in handy, allowing the two to leave the battlefield quickly.

Although she was worried that Ezio would face so many opponents alone, whether it was she or Leonardo—at this time, they would only increase the enemy's winning chips and make Ezio restrained.Therefore, the best choice at this time is to leave and lighten the burden on Ezio.

Ezio obviously lived up to Anastasia's trust. His weapons are excellent. The long sword was given to him by Uncle Mario, and the Hidden Blade was inherited from his father and modified by Leonardo.Moreover, the mount that Anna left for him was also lighter and more flexible than the enemy's.Therefore, it didn't take long for him to knock down four enemies from their horses.

Seeing that there was no possibility of victory, the remaining two quickly turned their horses and fled back the way they had come.However, this time, he knew that he could not allow anyone to reciprocate Rodrigo, so he rode his horse and chased after him, killing the other two with throwing knives at close range.

Ezio searched the bodies of several people, but found nothing of note.He dragged the body to the side of the road and covered it with stones.After that, I got on the bullock cart full of Leonardo's weird things.Start chasing Ana and Leonardo.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find the two who left first.But his outstanding eyesight immediately made him realize that something was wrong, and the uneasiness in his heart continued to expand, far exceeding when he saw so many enemies coming just now.Ezio immediately re-mounted the horse, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed over at the fastest speed.

I saw Anastasia lying on the ground with a long arrow stuck in her right shoulder.Leonardo was using torn strips of cloth to stop Anna's bleeding, and there were two corpses beside them, wearing the uniform of the Pogier family just like the ones just now.

Ezio's hands turned cold instantly, and seeing Anastasia lying on the ground, it was as if he had returned to the day when he found Ana with a high fever from that prison cell.

calm down.

Ezio kept telling himself, don't think about anything now!Just think about how to save Anna back!With Leonardo's help, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow that pierced through Anna's right shoulder. Leonardo quickly applied the medicine he had prepared on it, and quickly wrapped up the urgently made bandage. .

The severe pain caused Anna to temporarily wake up from the coma. Because of the excessive blood loss, her entire face was bloodless, the blond hair on her forehead was stuck to her skin with cold sweat, and her lips were even paler.But she still raised her uninjured left hand, and gently stroked Ezio's drooping face, "Ezio, don't worry, it will be fine." After finishing speaking, she passed out again.

What she didn't see was Ezio's expression on the verge of tears after hearing her words.

When Anastasia woke up again, she was already lying on the back of the bullock cart.There was a thick cushion under his body, and the cloaks of Ezio and Leonardo were covered.

She was a little confused about her situation... However, it must be safe in this situation now.Just as she was about to stand up and look around, Ezio, who was sitting next to her, spotted her, "Anna! You're awake!" Then, he carefully stopped her movement.

Anna thought back to what happened before she passed out.Then, she vaguely remembered that it was the two archers on the cliff who caught up with her and Leonardo.I accidentally hit an arrow and fell off the horse.When those two people were about to seize her as a hostage to threaten Ezio, she used the dagger she had pulled out of her boots long ago—hidden in her cuff for self-defense to kill the two people who had despised her unexpectedly.But in the end, he passed out because of too much blood from the wound on his shoulder.

As early as Monteriggioni, she realized that her existence would add a lot of worries to Ezio.Therefore, she also asked Uncle Mario to teach and trained how to use this small weapon.Of course, this approach also applies to her poor physical strength, and she must take advantage of it unprepared.

She looked at Ezio with some guilt, "Sorry... I have caused trouble again..."

"What a joke!" Ezio suddenly yelled at her, "Obviously I failed to protect you...why did Anna apologize..." This was the most difficult thing for Ezio to accept.He had clearly sworn that he must protect her so that she would not suffer any harm, but because he was too arrogant, he even forgot about the two potential enemies.If... If Anna didn't learn some self-defense techniques... then what is it that she can see now?

Fortunately, Ezio also noticed that he was too emotional and apologized to Anna.She shook her head, indicating that she was fine.This incident was not Ezio's fault in the first place. He was powerful enough to deal with six of the eight enemies alone.Almost no one expected that there were two archers on their heads.

However, Ezio obviously didn't stop blaming himself.He thought he was much more mature than before, yet he still caused Anna to suffer this kind of almost fatal injury.If it weren't for Leonardo's experience and timely handling, and the wound medicine he brought was good enough, Anna might really have confessed there!And all of this now is because I carelessly let go of those two people.

Leonardo, who was sitting in front of the car, obviously didn't want to watch any more, and reminded him, "Ezio, don't you have anything to tell Anastasia?"

Only then did Ezio remember what happened after that.Just because of Anna's waking up, he completely forgot about this important matter!

In other words, after Anna fell into a coma, they hurried to the next town and found a doctor.The beak doctor advised Anna to rest.Anna's body was damaged a lot because of that serious illness, and this time she was seriously injured and needed to recuperate urgently.Therefore, after discussing with Leonardo, Ezio and Leonardo decided to speed up their progress towards Venice under the premise of ensuring stability.

What's more, the doctor even directly threw out a big news, "Don't you know, is this lady pregnant? As her husband, you are a bit too dereliction of duty? Or, are you not her husband?" said After that, he glanced suspiciously between him and Leonardo several times with the two eyes protruding from the mask.

God knows that when Ezio heard this sentence, he was stunned for a long time like a fool.It was still under Leonardo's congratulations that he woke up from the shock and ecstasy, and carefully carried Anna horizontally onto the bullock cart.And put all the soft things that can be found in all the luggage under her body, so as to reduce the discomfort caused by the bumps as much as possible.

After slowly waking up, the sharp pain in my right shoulder returned.And her tightly wrapped right arm was also hung in front of her chest by a bandage, although she couldn't understand why she did this when she had no fractures.Looking down, she realized how stupid she was, and she didn't want to face Ezio anymore...

"Anna... there is something I want to tell you..."

Seeing that Ezio is willing to stop blaming himself and talk to himself, how can Anna refuse.

"what happened?"

"you are pregnant……"

Obviously, it was not easy for Anna to accept this fact. She lowered her head in horror and looked at her still flat belly.

Ezio quickly explained, "The doctor said it's only two months... so I can't see it yet."

Anastasia didn't know what to say... She was still in school at this time in her previous life? ? ?Now? ? ?Not only stepped into the grave of marriage early?What's the matter? ? ?

Well...the two of them haven't taken any protective measures, and it's not like she didn't expect this situation at all...

But?It's just that he slept a little longer?Waking up to be told that you have a baby?

God, this must be a dream, it must be.

But when she turned her head, she saw Ezio looking at her belly with hopeful eyes.It was something she had never seen on Ezio's face, a different expression, a different seriousness.

From this point of view, it seems that even if it is reality, it is not bad?

The author has something to say:

I feel that as a romance, this progress is really scary...
