Unknown Knight

With his retreat cut off and surrounded on three sides, King Yarogelk, who had always been cautious, had never been in such a dangerous situation in his life. It was only because of his dignity as a king that he did not panic and show his defeat. However, the sweat dripping down his face was very telling.

He thought he was determined to succeed in this trip, and being good at concealing his true intentions, he had been holding back until he heard that Aix was leading a large force to capture Wocheze, and then he led all his elite troops for a surprise attack.

While marching, he sent messengers to notify nobles from all over the place to gather, in order to occupy Kudan City with absolute advantage.

Not only that, he also sent the assassins he had trained for many years to ambush at the place where Aix had to pass when he returned, preparing to carry out a decapitation plan against him.

Having no relatives and no offspring is undoubtedly Aix's biggest weakness. As long as Aix is ​​gone, he can seize this vast area of ​​land in the northeast in the name of the king, become a real king with the final say, and realize his lifelong dream.

In fact, he had no choice but to do so. He originally wanted to support Aix to help him, thinking that he could curb the local tyrant family of Voldrat from then on, creating a situation where the two powers would fight each other and he, as the king, would benefit from it.

But he did not expect that Aix would rise so fast. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand how Aix could afford to support so many troops in such a cold and bitter place where it was not certain that a crop could be harvested every year.

What was even more unexpected was that Aix had unified the city of Kudan so easily. It was said that Voldrat had provoked them himself. Such a shameless, rogue and cunning old noble, who had been hunting eagles all his life, was blinded by an eagle in his old age, and his life or death is still unknown.

Aix had given him too many unexpected things, including his sudden return to Kudan City and the five or six hundred Nords who came to support him. It was obvious that he had already broken through Wocheze City. Counting the days, he had only been in Wocheze for one or two days at most. Could he have broken through Wocheze City in such a short time? This was too scary!

And the flag is from the Kugit cavalry of Tojunayan. It seems that they are here to help Aix. Wasn't this old guy captured by Aix? How could he help him? What kind of integration ability is this? It's too unreasonable!

The more King Yarogerk thought about it, the more confused and uncertain he became. The asymmetric information gap made him feel inexplicably fearful. He was at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing King Yarogerk in a dilemma, Lord Rodela of Kulau City took the initiative to step forward and said to him:

"Your Highness, it looks like Aixboye is coming with great force. Is there some misunderstanding? I am familiar with Aixboye. Why don't you let me go ask him about the situation and test his strength?"

Lord Rodella's words interrupted King Yarogerk's deep thought. He came to his senses and said:

"Oh, okay, Rodraboye, you are right. Go and ask Aix why he forcibly occupied the Kudan City of his father-in-law Voldratboye, and what is going on with the Nord and Kugit troops? He must give me an explanation!"

After hearing what King Yarogerk said, Rodelaboye urged his horse to the front of Aix's formation and asked Aix to come closer to talk.

When Aix saw that Rodelaboye was the only one there and that he was far beyond the range of the crossbowmen, he rode forward alone, ignoring the unanimous opposition of the leaders.

Seeing Aix coming alone, Lord Rodela was very happy and said to Aix from a distance:

"My good brother Aix, how are you doing lately?"

"Brother Rodella, please don't laugh at me. If I hadn't been lucky a few days ago, I would have been shot to death with a poison arrow. I wouldn't be able to talk to you today."

As Aix spoke, he drove his horse forward and stopped only five meters away from the two of them.

Seeing Aix approaching, Lord Rodela lowered his voice and said:

"How's that old guy Voldrat doing? Is he dead?"

"Not yet, but it's almost time. Brother Rodella, what does our king mean? Why is he mobilizing so many troops?"

"What else can it mean? They just want to seize your Kudan City while you are not at home and have not yet established a firm foothold. The old man is very insidious."

Lord Rodela said with a look of disdain.

Seeing the expression on Lord Rodela's face, he obviously had a lot of opinions about Yarogerk, so Axe wanted to further understand his attitude, and then said:

"So what do you mean now, brother?"

"Of course I'm on your side. Do you even need to ask?"

Lord Rodela blurted out, and seeing that Aix didn't quite believe it, he continued:

"You don't know me yet, but I have no other choice. During the last Kugit war, Yalogerk wanted to seize my Kulau City. Fortunately, you helped me at the critical moment, and I have always remembered it.

But he is the king, how can I not come if he summons me? But don't worry, I am on your side. What do you plan to do now? As long as you don't want my Kulau City, I will definitely stand by your side today."

Seeing Lord Rodla's sincerity, Aix also understood the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold". Once Kudan City was taken by King Yarogerk, would he, who had gained an absolute advantage, let go of the already weak Kulau City? After thinking about it, Aix said to Lord Rodla:

"Brother, as long as I am still here, I will never let anyone seize your Kulau City. We will help each other and never betray each other!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Rodela slapped his thigh happily and said:

"Okay! That's what I've been waiting for, brother. So, how are you going to settle this matter with Yarogerk today?"

"How else can it end? As Voldratboye's legitimate son-in-law, Voldratboye is now seriously ill, and I should help him take care of his territory and people. I don't know why His Majesty the King suddenly came. Does he want to disregard the law and morality and seize the territory and property of my father-in-law Voldratboye?"

Aix didn't blush, and spoke righteously. Rodelaboye laughed out loud when he heard this, pointed at Aix with his hand and said with a sly smile:

"Okay, okay, I know what to say. You are getting better and better. Later we will..."

The two of them had another secret discussion before the battle. After the discussion, Lord Rodela returned to King Yarogelk to report happily.

In front of King Yarogerk, Lord Rodela told the king about Aix's doubts. He couldn't save face and kept talking in vain. He shouted unwillingly:

"That's nonsense. Go tell Exboye that I want to confront Voldratboye face to face to see if it's true as Exboye said that he is willing to hand over Kudan City to his good son-in-law."
