Unknown Knight

Unlike in the past, today Aix didn't need anyone to coax him to eat, nor did he smack the food in his mouth carefully as if he was playing. Instead, he finished what he had in his hands in just a few bites.

Then he drew out his weapon, the six-petal iron hammer, and sat in the car, ready for battle.

Aisu had originally planned to do as before, with Aix falling asleep soon after eating dinner, and then they could drive quickly and leave this place of trouble.

But today, Aix seemed to be under a spell. He was very energetic and had been sitting straight for more than an hour without any feeling of sleepiness.

Ai Su got into the car anxiously, put his increasingly round head on his shoulders, and patted his broad back with one hand.

Ran Ying simply rested her head on his thighs and hummed a lullaby.

Such efforts soon paid off. Axe began to feel his eyelids heavy and slowly closed his eyes. After a while, people thought he was asleep, so Axe winked at James.

James whipped the draft horse gently, and as soon as the car started, Axe sat up and said:

"Are the robbers coming? The Hammer of Justice is here to punish the evildoers!"

The two girls had to coax him into quieting down and slowly falling asleep again. However, as soon as the car started moving, Axel would immediately wake up from his dream. The three tried several times but failed, so they had to give up.

James saw that there was no other solution, so he had to park the car at the very end of the village, next to the eaves of a house with a narrow aisle next to it.

In this way, if the robbers really attack, Ai Su and Ran Ying can go to the roof and shoot from above to stop the enemy. If they cannot stop the enemy, they can escape through this one-person-wide corridor.

It was just a good idea, but he overlooked the biggest variable, X. It was unknown whether he was poisoned by the heroic deeds of the Hammer of Justice told by Resarit, or the awakening of the justice in X's bones, but today he seemed to be about to become an Ultraman to realize his childhood dream of punishing evil and promoting good.

Not long after they parked the truck, fourteen or fifteen bandits, some carrying spears, some with daggers on their waists, some leaning on wooden sticks, and some holding torches, staggered into the village.

Behind them were four or five crying women and five or six children around ten years old.

It seems that the reason they came so late was because they went to other villages first. These people were drunk and cursing, and it was obvious that they came here after causing trouble in other villages.

Just when they were about to kick the door of a house in the village, a feather arrow shot at the door that the robbers were about to kick open. James shouted in the darkness:

"The Hammer of Justice Mercenary Group is here to do business. The rest of you please leave quickly!"

Just this one sentence frightened most of the robbers sober up and they fled out of the village in a hurry.

But the robbers are not stupid. They have seen the real Hammer of Justice. When they see them, they will not kindly warn them, nor will they scare them away. Instead, they will catch them and sell them to slave traders.

Today, the man in the village who called himself the Hammer of Justice just shot an arrow and yelled, and did nothing else. He did not chase them out to catch them. This is not the usual style of the Hammer of Justice.

Encouraged by a few brave robbers, this group of robbers observed outside the village for a while, then poked their heads back into the village, found two door panels to prop up in front of them, and slowly advanced into the village.

"Do, do!" Two feather arrows shot at the two door panels respectively, scaring the robbers to scream. However, one of them saw Ai Su and Ran Ying standing on the roof and screamed:

"I saw them, on the roof. There are only a few of them. Come on, brothers!"

Ai Su and Ran Ying saw this and shot arrows at them, but the robbers hiding behind the door did not retreat but instead sped up and advanced. The two women became anxious and said to James who was guarding the car:

"Old Jim, take Master Ping Ping away!"

When the robbers heard the voices and realized they were two women, they rushed forward roaring as if they were injected with chicken blood.

James was so frightened when he saw this that he ran into the carriage and pushed the already asleep Axe hard, shouting:

"Hurry, the robbers are coming."

Before he could say the words "let's run away quickly", Master Pingping, who was punishing evil and promoting good in his dream, was pushed awake. He suddenly heard James say that robbers were coming. He roared, grabbed his six-petal iron hammer, and rushed out with a shield.

After Aix's injuries were basically healed, several leaders with top martial arts skills in the territory had nothing to do, so after discussion they decided to teach Aix all the martial arts they had learned so that he would have more self-protection capabilities when he encountered danger again.

However, at first this ordinary young master refused to learn. Finally, Resarit came up with an idea. He took advantage of the fact that children love to listen to stories and made up many heroic stories about the Hammer of Justice for him. After Aix was fascinated by the stories, he was willing to learn.

Moreover, X studied very hard. With the dream of becoming Ultraman, he spent most of the day every day practicing martial arts. Although he only practiced for more than a month, he really learned a lot.

Plus, he already had very good skills, and many of his techniques and moves were so familiar that they formed muscle memory. Although his intelligence has declined now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a top master.

In order to improve his defensive capabilities, the leaders asked Nia to teach him shield skills and made the large steel shield he holds in his hand.

Even the leather hat on his head was specially made. It looked like an old leather helmet from the outside, but it was actually a three-layer composite helmet. Inside the two layers of leather, there was a layer of steel. The combined protection was better than that of a steel helmet.

And Resarit kept reminding him to wear his helmet whenever he left the car.

At this time, I saw Aix leaning forward, holding the shield with both hands, with the center of gravity on the front foot, and charging forward quickly in a forward lunge, shouting repeatedly:

"The hammer of justice, punishing evil and promoting good!"

It only took a dozen steps, and before the robbers could react, they crashed into two door panels moving side by side.

The robbers were smashed to pieces by this collision. Before they could react from the shock, Aix pulled out the six-petal iron hammer hidden under the shield and swept it left and right. One of them flew backwards, and another who was kneeling and holding the door panel was smashed to pieces, and he rolled on the ground. A man on the left was hit in the head, and his head shattered like a rotten watermelon.

Then he used the steel shield in his left hand to strike forward twice in succession, knocking the two oncoming robbers sprawled out, and chopped down with the iron hammer in his right hand, killing another robber who tried to block with a dagger.

In just this moment, Aix killed four people and injured several others.

Not only him, but also the two young wives, Ai Su and Ran Ying, saw their husbands rushing out, and jumped over the roof of the house without caring about anything, came closer, and shot arrows continuously from a high position, killing or injuring three or four people.

Even James rushed forward in an effort to protect his master. He used the knotty wooden stick in his hand to catch a robber who was lying on the ground and was trying to poke Axe with his spear. He beat him hard until his brain burst.
