Unknown Knight

Chapter 405 Late Night Meeting

After the attack of the fierce fire oil was over, Aix did not take the opportunity to persuade the enemy to surrender as he did before, and then take the city at the lowest cost. Instead, he waited until the stone bullets were ready and all the parameters were adjusted, and then directly ordered an attack.

In fact, Aix was just like Airen, with a rage in his heart, and even angrier than Airen. He wished he could grab Airen, slice him up and grill him.

As a man, no one can tolerate his wife being taken away by someone else, and Aix is ​​even worse now. He was almost killed by someone's conspiracy, and his home was successfully robbed. All his family property was stolen, and he almost became a homeless vagrant.

The hatred of having your wife stolen from you and the hatred of having your family destroyed are irreconcilable!

So Aix directly ordered the catapult to go to the top of the city wall for a few rounds to clear out the people and let his enemy Airen see blood first and pay for his hatred.

The frightened soldiers of Airen had just climbed up the city wall when a large number of rocks threw at them. They were in great trouble now, and suffered heavy casualties immediately under the indiscriminate attack.

The catapult, which was improved after being designed by the research institute, has a longer arm length of the casting rod and the lead rope is made of cow tendon steel wire. The potential energy of the stone projectiles launched is very large, and even the splashing gravel can injure and kill the enemy.

In just a moment, there were wailing sounds on the city wall and heavy casualties. After several rounds of stone bullets, only three or four out of ten people were left on the city wall. The survivors were all quick-witted. They immediately chose to lie down in the corner under the battlements and thus escaped the disaster, including Ailen, whose head was scratched by the rubble and was bleeding all over.

"Hurry up and get off the city wall and go to the second wall. Don't defend this wall anymore."

As soon as the catapult's attack stopped, Aileyon shouted loudly.

He had originally planned to rely on the city walls to resist layer by layer, with each line of defense consuming a wave of Aix's soldiers, and eventually achieving the effect of forcing Aix to retreat. However, he did not expect that Aix would easily make his original plan fail with just a few rounds of catapult attacks, and he suddenly felt very disappointed.

Seeing the enemy withdrawing the first city wall, Aix was not in a hurry to let the soldiers attack it. He knew that although the two walls were nearly 100 meters apart, the inner wall was on higher ground and could suppress the first wall from a high position. Directly occupying the first wall would only make the soldiers become targets of the enemy.

Moreover, after pushing the catapult up the hill and being attacked by flaming oil and stone bombs, the flaming oil and stone bombs near the catapult had been almost consumed, and it was already noon.

If they wanted to attack the second city wall in the afternoon, they would not only need to prepare to transport a large amount of ammunition, but also have to lift out the fixed catapult and push it forward to the vicinity of the first city wall, and then fix it before continuing the attack. This would take a very long time. According to preliminary estimates, the second city wall would not be taken before dark.

To be on the safe side, Aix decided to end today's attack here, so he ordered a simple camp to be set up in front of the catapult, and moved the stone bombs and incendiary oil tanks needed for tomorrow's attack here overnight to be prepared, so that he could take down the second city wall in one go tomorrow.

Late at night, Aix had trouble falling asleep. Thinking back to the times he had spent with Yamila in Suno, in the valley, and in Talboliya, he felt very uncomfortable.

Although he has many wives, he is often forced to do things against his will. Now, in order to satisfy his wives, he has to spend a lot of time trying to get along with them, and he has begun to behave like a scumbag, but after all, he is still a passionate man and he has given his true feelings to each of them.

Especially for Yamila, Aix not only has feelings for her, but also regrets. That is really:

"You gave me a river of spring water, and I promised you a life of glory, but now this palace is empty and the beauty has moved to someone else's house. I only hate fate for messing with me, and who can I tell about the regret in my heart?"

Aix, who was feeling sorry for himself, suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. Then the tent was opened and Bandak came in and whispered in his ear:

"My Lord, Old John and his daughter are here."

Aix was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out without thinking:

"Please come quickly!"

Soon, a father and daughter came in from outside the tent. The father was leaning on a crutch, and although his slightly thin face showed sadness, he was also energetic and glorious. The daughter was wearing a hooded cloak and lowered her head. When she entered the tent and lifted the hood, her eyes were already filled with tears. Who else could it be but old John and his daughter, Yamila?

Axe walked up to the two of them in two or three steps, grabbed old John's hands and squeezed them hard, then turned around and hugged Yamila into his arms, holding her tightly.

Then the three of them hugged each other and cried, and sighed for a while before finally sitting down.

At this time, only Bandak, Sophia, Kress, Axe and old John and his daughter were left in the big tent. Axe asked old John and his daughter about their experiences over the years as if they were chatting with each other. They did not hold back and told them everything they had experienced over the years, which was generally similar to what Axe knew.

Everyone chatted like long-lost relatives, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed. When they finally talked about the war at hand, Yamila, who had been holding Kress' arm and had rarely spoken, seemed to muster up her courage, stood up and said to Axe in all seriousness:

"Can I talk to you alone, Axe?"

After everyone left, only Axel and Yamila were left in the big tent. Axel didn't care about anything else and went forward to hug Yamila in his arms, holding her tightly.

However, Yamila in his arms did not change arms with him, but placed her hands on her chest, as if caressing Aix's chest, and faintly seemed to push him away. Aix, who noticed something was wrong, looked down at Yamila in his arms and said affectionately:

"Come back to me, we'll never be apart again, okay?"

After hearing this, Yamila shuddered all over, and her evasive eyes looked away, as if she had done something wrong, and she cried timidly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, wuwuwu..., honey, I'm sorry, we can't go back, please, please let Aileyen go, okay? Just consider it as my beg!"

After hearing this, Aix was stunned. Although he had a premonition in his heart, he still found it difficult to accept when Yamila said it. He was so angry that he shouted without thinking:

"No! Airen and I are sworn enemies! I will kill him with my own hands. I will make him be executed by the Blood Eagle Punishment like his damn father."
