Unknown Knight

According to the tradition of the Kingdom of Vigia, the wedding banquet between nobles should be held for more than three days, but this time is unusual. It is said that the troops of the Khergit Khanate are gathering in the city of Aichmor.

On the morning of the second day after the wedding, Aix was woken up from his hangover and told that King Yarogerk was holding a royal meeting and asked him to attend if it was convenient.

How could it be inconvenient for him? This was originally a marriage without feelings. He was so drunk that he didn't feel anything at all during the night. How could he still want to go on a honeymoon at this time?

Looking at the dressing table that had never been opened, it was obvious that the bride had not come into the room last night. The family tradition of Voldratboye was really good. They didn't even have the basic virtues of a woman. It also showed their family's attitude towards this marriage.

He didn't have time to mutter here, so he casually fixed his hair, put on his clothes, and went to the meeting under the guidance of his servants.

The meeting was held in the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Aix was not the last one to arrive. After he took his seat, nearly an hour passed before most of the nobles arrived.

The meeting was uneventful. King Yarogelk's secretary spoke first, in which he reported the general situation of the Kugit people.

This time the Kugits can be said to have mobilized the entire country. Currently, there are about two thousand cavalrymen gathered, and it is expected that the Kugits will be able to gather at least three thousand cavalrymen in the end. Together with other personnel, the total number of troops dispatched this time is probably no less than five or six thousand.

Just hearing the numbers, all the Vaegir nobles present gasped. Last time, the Nords gathered 3,000 infantrymen and defeated the Kingdom of Swadia without any resistance. It seems that this time the Khergits are not only determined to capture the city of Kudan, but their plan is probably even bigger.

Seeing some of the nobles present lose their courage, King Yarogerk was furious. He slammed the table and stood up and said:

"Saiga Khan has gone too far. This time, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as plotting against Kudan City. If you still want to preserve your strength at this time, or even retreat out of fear, then I'm afraid you will all become slaves of the Kugit people soon.

Only if we work together and fear no death, can we defeat these evil wolves, protect your families, and keep your wealth and glory! Everyone, Vaegir is our family property, we have no way to retreat!"

King Yarogelk spoke with gnashing teeth and indignation at the beginning, but as he spoke he seemed to lose confidence, and in the end he explained the interests to the nobles in an almost pleading tone.

But he knew that the nobles had always been cautious about their strength in wars, hiding their strength and could only fight when the wind was favorable. It was possible that some of those present were already thinking about how to contact the Kugits, and by that time many would offer their flattery and surrender.

The thought of this made him feel discouraged. The majesty and charm brought by the white tiger armor on his body seemed to have lost its effect. He had to bluff and stare at the nobles in the field with his tiger eyes, as if he was going to choose someone to devour. The warning was very obvious.

The small and medium nobles in the field also lowered their heads, not daring to look up and look at the mighty King Yarogelk. Even the great nobles present were staring blankly ahead, obviously each of them had their own plans in mind.

After looking around and seeing no one responding, King Yarogerk, not caring about the embarrassment, discovered that only Axboye was not affected by him. He had been frowning in deep thought, but suddenly he relaxed and looked pleased, as if he had gained something.

He admired this new boye more and more. Not only was he sensible, he was also very capable. He was also someone who dared to confront the Kugits head-on and win. Such a person was considered a top figure in the kingdom. King Yarogerk had already decided in his heart to train him well so that he could become his right-hand man.

Seeing his expression, he seemed to have thought of a good strategy to deal with the enemy, so he became interested, restrained his dignified look, and said to Aix in a gentle voice, as if an elder was caring for the younger:

"Axboye, what do you think of the current situation?"

Hearing King Yarogelk's call of his name, Aix's heart started to panic. He had been observing the nobles with his peripheral vision and found that after hearing about the enemy situation, all the nobles present looked dejected. He was just thinking of learning from the plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the whole theory of ten wins and ten losses, to boost the morale of the army and make a name for himself.

However, with only the limited information he knew and his incompetent brain, he could only piece together five wins and five losses. Now that King Yarogerk had called him, he had no choice but to force himself to increase his aura and said in a very confident tone:

"Your Majesty, my Lords, the Kugits may seem to be coming in force, but in Benboye's opinion, they are just beautiful velvet pillows. They are gorgeous and shiny velvet on the outside, but they are actually filled with worthless duck feathers and goose down. There is no need to worry about them."

Although Aix's metaphor seemed like old vinegar in a new bottle, it was very novel to the ignorant nobles present. Those who tasted the flavor started laughing, and the atmosphere on the scene changed from depressing to lively.

Seeing that the effect was good, Aix cleared his throat and continued:

"The unwise invasion of the Kugits may seem scary and overwhelming, but in fact, they are doomed to fail. I have summarized five wins and five losses for you all.

This victory was achieved by taking advantage of rest and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. The Kugits crossed mountains and rivers to come to our land to fight, and their soldiers must have been exhausted. But we only needed to wait where we were, so we had the upper hand over them in terms of physical strength.

These two victories were won by defending the city. As everyone knows, our Vaegir soldiers are good at defending the city. This was most obvious in the war with the Nords and the previous confrontation between Kudan City and the Khergits. At that time, Kudan City was able to resist the entire Khergit army with only the soldiers of one city. This is the best proof.

These three victories were won with a common hatred of the enemy. The reason why the Kugits came this time was nothing more than coveting the population and wealth of our kingdom. For all of us, this is a critical moment of life and death. In order not to be enslaved by the Kugits, everyone will definitely fight desperately. With this fighting spirit, there is nothing to be afraid of the Kugits.

These four victories were won by clearing the fields and defending the city. The Kugits seem to have broken the rules and launched an attack in advance in the summer. In fact, their purpose is very simple. They want to seize our food during the summer harvest to supplement their military needs. As long as we harvest all the food from Kudan City to Fort Loma now, their conspiracy will fail. "

Just as Aix was about to say the rest, Voldratboye said:

"Exboy, you're talking lightly. The wheat is in its ear stage now. If we harvest it now, we can only get some bran. Are you going to leave us to starve for the whole winter?"

After hearing this, Axel shook his head. At this time, he was still only thinking about the wheat that was about to be supplied to the enemy. To say that he was short-sighted was an understatement. To say that he was short-sighted was not an exaggeration at all.

But I had to explain to the specific person who carried it out, so I had no choice but to say:

"My lord, if you don't harvest it now, do you think the grain will still be yours? When the Kugites come, will they cut the ripe wheat and send it to you in the city?"

"Voldratboye, Aixboye is right. Even if we can only collect wheat straw now, we can use it to feed livestock for warmth in the winter, which is better than giving it to the Kugits.

Besides, you are doing this for the great cause of the kingdom. I am the one who makes the decision. I will give you 20,000 kilograms of food. Don’t just think about taking advantage of it. Everyone should contribute. This is a matter for the entire kingdom, and no one can afford not to contribute.”

King Yarogelk was magnanimous and straightforward. He came up with a solution and shut Voldrat up.
