Unknown Knight

Led by Chief Majid who acted as a guide, Aix led a team of more than one hundred people to ambush at the pile of rocks. They took advantage of their rest and waited until the camel caravan carrying spices late at night fell completely asleep, then they quietly approached and easily subdued all the people in the caravan.

After some severe torture, Aix got the basic information of the camel caravan. With the help of Majid, Aix ordered the killing of all the mercenary members. As for the members of the Harisi family, they were all old acquaintances. They had all been captured in the last war in Fort Standing. Aix did not kill these members of the Harisi family as their lives were still useful.

The next day, the camel caravan left the stone pile early in the morning and headed towards their next destination, Tianshuijing Town.

The camel caravan has undergone a major change. Except for the five members of the Harrisi family, the rest have been replaced by people from Fort Standstill. Bolcha, who is familiar with the local situation and is smooth and clever, pretends to be the dead deputy.

The camel caravan traveled for another day and a half and finally arrived at the outskirts of Tianshuijing Town. Before they got close to the town, a group of fully armed knights rushed out of the town. There were more than 20 of them in total, and all of them were ferocious. The leader shouted:

"Stop, this is the territory of the Sweet Water Well. You can only enter if you show your identity."

Bolcha smiled and came forward to answer:

"Hey, leader, I'm Bolcha, the person in charge of this escort. It's so hot, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

As he said this, he stepped forward and handed eleven silver coins to the leading robber. Why eleven? Majid had told the dead deputy that this number was actually a code word for contact. The leading robber weighed the silver coins in his hand, counted them again, then laughed and led the camel caravan into the town.

The town was not big, with only one long street running from east to west. In the center of the street was the famous sweet water well. When they were brought to the well, the leading robber weighed the eleven silver coins he had obtained and led his men straight to the taverns on both sides of the street.

Although this place is not big, there are seven or eight taverns and brothels. Seeing the anxious look on the face of the leading robber, who was lying in ambush in the crowd, Aix estimated that even if he gave him another twenty silver coins, it would not be enough for him to spend for long.

Seeing that no one paid attention to them, Bolcha and Majid, who was wearing a bamboo hat, looked at each other and walked towards the nearest inn.

Majid had given advance instructions on how to enter the town. Uneasy as he was, he even followed them personally to take care of his juniors. After checking into the hotel, everyone did not go straight to rest, but left a few people to guard the town while the rest swarmed into the town to have fun. They did not attract anyone's attention at all and were more genuine than real camel caravan members.

However, they did not hang around in the town until late at night like the camel caravans before them. Instead, they returned to the inn in groups of three or four soon after dark, had a full dinner as required, and then lay down to recuperate.

In the second half of the night, the leader Aix, along with a dozen elite masters including Niza, Bestur, and Zeb, sneaked out of the inn, then split into two groups and went to the watchtowers on both sides of the town, and easily killed the robbers on duty who were soundly sleeping on the sentry post.

He would shoot the sentry with a hidden arrow or directly slash his neck with a dagger. After silently dealing with all the sentries, Bolcha lit a torch and shook it left and right three times on the sentry tower.

Soon, more than a hundred Standing Fort warriors lurking outside the town gathered together. With a wave of X's hand, everyone filed in and started a massacre.

This kind of night raid was not the first time that Aix led his team, and they were already very professional. There were only about twenty houses in the whole town. According to the arrangements made in the prior drills, at least five people were sent to block the front and rear exits of each house. A dozen people were also left to patrol the streets, ready to provide support at any time. The rest of the main force wore heavy armor and cleared out each house one by one.

They were silent at first, but after clearing out four or five rooms, the people who were blocking the door had more manpower freed up, so they stopped killing silently.

But it could no longer be concealed at this time. Someone shouted, and the whole town suddenly fell into chaotic fighting.

During the fight, some people would rush out of the room recklessly from time to time. They thought they had escaped, but were stabbed to death by the mobile people on the street.

Some rooms were flooded and a raging fire broke out, suffocating everyone in the room.

Aix, dressed neatly, stood in the middle of the street, leaning on his six-petal iron hammer with both hands. On both sides of him were the five members of the Harrisi family who were used to conceal their whereabouts. They all looked dejected and would occasionally glance at Aix in awe.

Aix wanted these five people to watch how his people carried out the killing, so that they could go back and tell their patriarch Ivant that it would be best if they did not go against him.

By dawn, the killing in the entire town was basically over. Only in one house could one hear the sound of fighting. That was the most imposing house in the town, where the big bandit Hassan lived. This guy was still resisting stubbornly and had injured two soldiers, both of whom had their defensive shields broken and their left arms shattered. This made others dare not rush in rashly, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

Aix stepped forward to take a look at the injured soldier. Judging from his injuries, this guy must have been a Mamluk knight. He used a heavy iron staff and one stroke of the staff could break shields and shatter bones, which showed his extraordinary bravery.

After giving a wink to Niza and Bestur, Aix pushed aside the people in front of him, took off the iron shield behind him, and charged forward with the six-petal iron hammer in one hand.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard a loud "bang" as Hassan's heavy iron rod hit Aix's iron shield hard, causing the shield to emit a "buzzing" sound. However, Aix felt okay, because the force of this blow was far less than that of Sophia.

"Are you Lord Aix of the Standing Castle? We have something to discuss. I am also blinded by desire. How about this? I will offer a hundred gold coins to buy my own life. What do you think?"

Seeing that Aix was unmoved and still pressed forward, Hassan hurriedly said:

"Sir, wait a minute. I am from Berbera City. We have something to discuss."

Before he finished speaking, Aix stepped forward with his shield and pushed the heavy iron rod in his hand away, then swung the six-petal iron hammer in his right hand forward and hit him in the face, scratching him in one stroke. Then he shook off the blood stain on it and said:

"I never negotiate with someone who is about to die."

The speed was so fast that even Bestur, who had drawn his bow and arrow ready to provide support at any time, did not have time to shoot the arrow.
