Unknown Knight

Aix wanted to return to Tangquan Fortress as soon as possible, and couldn't wait any longer, so he sent his smartest Borcha to Eledege Village to find out what was going on. As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he ran into Haytham who had just left the village.

When the two of them came closer, Axe, who was furious, was about to question Haytham for his ignorance, but he saw that he was dejected and could faintly smell the smell of alcohol. Knowing that something must have happened to Haytham when he returned to the village, he calmed down and said to him:

"Have you seen your wife, my warrior?"

After hearing this, Haytham waved his hand without even looking up.

"My Lord, please don't ask. She's dead! She starved to death during the famine a few years ago. Let's go, leave here."

Although he didn't know this new cavalry squadron leader as well as Bestur and Niza, Aix could still tell that there was something wrong with what he said, and that there were bruises and scratches on the corners of his eyes and lips. He seemed to be hiding something, so he didn't want to ask him any more. He just nodded and led everyone to continue on their journey.

But seeing that his admired subordinates were like eggplants hit by frost, as if their souls had been sucked out, it was not Aix's style to do nothing when problems arose. After thinking about it carefully, he called Bolcha and whispered something to him.

After listening to Aix's words, Borcha nodded in understanding, then calmly slowed down his horse's speed until he retreated to the end of the team. Then he winked at the three cavalrymen who were leading the formation, and the four of them quietly left the team and headed towards the village of Elerdege.

When they set up camp that night, Haytham was as dejected as ever. He just kept drinking and didn't even raise his head when talking to others, making the whole camp feel depressing and dull.

In the second half of the night, Borcha returned to the camp and quietly came to Aix's tent, telling him all the news he had learned from returning to the village of Elerdeg.

It turns out that Haytham's wife did not starve to death, but was alive and well, but this woman had nothing to do with Haytham anymore.

Back then, Haitham was captured by a Sarand chief and sold into slavery. Less than three months later, the woman hooked up with another man in the village, and soon the couple lived together.

Aix remembered a time when he was drinking and chatting with his brothers who were returning home. When they were drunk, Haytham said bluntly that he must return to Swadia in order to reunite with his wife in his hometown.

Someone even teased him, saying that it had been so long and maybe his wife had a baby with someone else, so he should not think about other things and just find a wife to live with in Fort Standstill. Haytham even got red in the face and argued with the man, saying that the man was a rough guy who didn't know what love was and that the relationship between him and his wife was indestructible and so on. Axe was deeply impressed.

But now, Haytham has gone through life and death, walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to return to Swadia, all for the memories his wife left him, and for the vows they once made. However, he never thought that all his suffering and hard work over the years would be in vain, and he lost to the neighbor Wang so early. How embarrassing it is for him.

Haytham was unwilling to let go and did not mind his wife's betrayal. He wanted to make amends, so he tried his best to persuade his wife, hoping that she could change her mind and leave this sad place with him.

Unexpectedly, the neighbor, Old Wang, was a wealthy man in the village. He called his brothers and relatives, together with the unfaithful woman, to beat him up when he was alone, and also humiliated him severely in public.

The most hateful thing is that ungrateful woman, who actually told Haytham that she was blind and accidentally married him, and asked a poor man like him to piss on himself to see if he was worthy of her.

The woman's words upset Haytham, who drank a lot in the village tavern and nearly committed suicide. If it weren't for his former neighbor who took pity on him and gave him some kind words of advice, this newly promoted general of Aix might have hanged himself.

Bolcha heard about all these events in the village tavern. Having been a bandit for many years, he still had a bandit streak in his heart, so he hated the couple immediately. He felt sorry for his comrade Haytham, who was a good drinker and a very honest person, and decided to take revenge on the couple.

So after discussing with the other three people, they sneaked into the couple's house that night, tied them up, and beat them up in a secret place outside the village. In the end, Bolcha was still not satisfied, and he knocked the wild man out of fun, making the couple unhappy for the rest of their lives.

After listening to Bolcha's vivid description of the whole incident, Axe could not help but be speechless. Considering that he shared the same hatred and was willing to avenge his comrades, he did not want to rebuke him for his reckless behavior. He just asked him to pay more attention to Haytham and spend more time with him to drink and talk, so as to prevent him from getting upset again.

After Bolcha left, Axe couldn't sleep for some reason. Haytham's affairs made him feel a lot. Although he had lived in two completely different worlds, he always believed in love.

In the original world, he also had a memorable relationship, but because the places where they were interning were a little far from each other, the girl was actually poached and got together with someone else behind his back.

This took him a long time to recover. In his original world, he was indifferent to everything, which was also due to this reason. He was even so emo that he thought the world was not worth it.

It is precisely because he has experienced his girlfriend cheating on him that he knows best that love is an extremely precious and rare thing, especially for ordinary people who have no money and no status. Their love is like a candle swaying in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time, and many of them cannot withstand the test of the slightest disturbance.

Think about the depressed Haytham, who still stands on this continent despite all the ups and downs he has experienced. The ambitious X, however, begins to feel unconfident at this moment, and his loser inner self is awakened.

After all, it has been nearly two years since he left Tangquan Fortress. A lot can happen in two years. The three wives he left behind are all young and beautiful. Who knows if they will betray him due to their loneliness? Even if they do, it is understandable.

Besides, he has a physique that attracts foreign girls. No matter where he goes, he will be dissolute and leave behind romantic debts, which will definitely make his wives resentful. Just like this time, he didn't know how to explain the matter of Almis and Chrissie to Tundra, Chris, and Sophia. Just thinking about it made him feel overwhelmed.

With such an uneasy mood, and thinking back to the romantic times he had with his wives, Aix, who was tired from the journey, actually suffered from insomnia. He did not close his eyes until dawn.

Now he wished he could fly to his three wives at once and confess his homesickness to them, but he was afraid to face them and didn't know how to explain to them about the twin sisters. He was very conflicted at this moment, and for the first time in his life he experienced what it meant to be homesick.
