Unknown Knight

In addition to a large amount of food, the fleet also brought three hundred fully armed Prophet Guards.

This Prophet's Guard was specially selected by Aisu and Ran Ying, and all of them are fanatical believers of the Supreme God.

And they were trained personally by the god-general Bestur. Each of them is a powerful warrior who can fight ten enemies at once. All their weapons and equipment are made by the best craftsmen in Berbera.

It turned out that this was Aisu's suggestion. Born into a noble family, she had been influenced by it since childhood and knew that after Aix returned to Calradia, he would definitely stir up the political situation of the entire continent. At the same time, it would definitely affect the interests of many people and he would be regarded as a mortal enemy by these people.

In this situation, it is inevitable to suffer from open and covert attacks from all sides.

As the saying goes, it's not the thieves who steal that you're afraid of, but the thieves who think about stealing that you're afraid of. Once Aix fails to completely eliminate the enemies in time, there's no guarantee that these enemies will find some way to assassinate him, so there's always a serious hidden danger.

These enemies may send assassins to assassinate him, may use the army to raid, or more likely send people to get close to Aix, or directly incite the people around him to rebel, and then these people will directly assassinate him or poison him. This situation is the most troublesome and can be said to be impossible to guard against.

After much consideration, Aisu decided to train a group of absolutely loyal guards, a total of 500 people, 200 of whom were left to protect themselves, and the remaining 300 were sent to Calradia to Aix.

The role of these prophet guards is to form a protective layer around Aix that isolates him from the outside world. Therefore, these people are not only responsible for protecting Aix's safety, but also for taking care of all aspects of Aix's daily life, including dressing, purchasing, cooking, sleeping, training, medical care, etc., and even handling government affairs.

Among the three hundred guards of the prophet, there are thirty women. They are here to serve Aix closely and are responsible for his daily life and medical care.

There are also ten knowledgeable guards who are very good at learning and are proficient in arithmetic and writing. Of course, they are specifically responsible for helping Aix handle government affairs.

These people have clear division of labor, and there are even people who specialize in poison testing. The purpose is to create an artificial isolation vacuum between Aix and the outside world, so that people from the outside world cannot easily get close to Aix, so as to ensure his safety.

In fact, Aix was very resistant to this kind of cage-like protection. The territory had equipped him with guards before, but it was far from reaching this level of protection.

Someone once suggested that he form a similar guard, but considering that it would cost a lot of money, and that he had Nana, his life-saving artifact, which made him feel that he still had one last trick to save his life, he ultimately did not approve the formation of such a guard.

Having experienced life and death several times, Aix also understood the necessity of such protection. Besides, this was also the good intention of his two loli wives. They had put in so much effort, it would be difficult to just refuse.

Moreover, these 300 prophet guards are all fanatics of the Supreme God, that is, his fanatics. In order to join the guard, each of them has not only undergone multiple selections and tests, but also undergone a long period of rigorous training.

Looking at their eager eyes and thinking about the struggle and efforts each of them had made to join the Prophet's Guard, Aix knew that if he rejected their protection, it would definitely hurt their loyalty, so in the end Aix chose to accept this Prophet's Guard.

However, what Aix could not have imagined was that it was the arrival of this Prophet Guard that saved his life, and more than once.

After pacifying the coalition of the three princes, Aix basically lived in the royal palace of Shariz during his time in Sarande.

The guard responsible for guarding the royal palace is Sultan Niza's guard. This guard has more than 300 people, all of whom were originally elite soldiers brought from Berbera. They are completely trustworthy people.

However, as the territory expanded, Niza's army was insufficient and he recruited many local soldiers. In order to ensure control over the stationed troops in various places, each stationed army had to be mixed with a relative number of Berbera soldiers.

Later, this kind of mixed formation became more and more frequent, and the number of soldiers from Berbera was insufficient. Some had to be withdrawn from the Niza Guard. The vacancies were first filled by selecting some from the recruited Sarands. After these people were strictly screened, it was hoped that reliable people would be added to the Sultan Guard. However, it was these additional people who had problems.

This time, after the arrival of the Prophet Guard of Aix, they immediately took over the defense of the entire palace, but this takeover abruptly interrupted the plans of some conspirators.

As early as when Niza issued the land grant order to recruit local armed forces, the fifth prince Sharif sent more than 20 of his most trusted Mamluks and asked them to find a way to infiltrate the army and wait for the opportunity to assassinate his good seventh brother.

These Mamluks already had considerable military strength and it was easy for them to stand out in the army. Some of them were good at scheming and made connections, and more than ten of them successfully infiltrated Niza's Sultan's Guard.

However, the soldiers in charge of Niza's attendants were always from Berbera, and these Mamluks who had infiltrated the Sultan's guards could never find a suitable opportunity to take action.

The temporary replacement of the Prophet's Guards of Aix made these Mamluks, who were unaware of the situation, think that they had been replaced and would never have the chance to get close to the Niza Sultan again. As a result, they would no longer be able to complete the tasks assigned by their master.

Moreover, if they lose the opportunity to complete the mission, their undercover identity might be exposed.

So several Mamluks in charge discussed it and decided to take advantage of the fact that the Prophet's Guards had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the environment of the palace. On the night of the change of guard, they would sneak into the palace under the pretext of returning to the barracks to retrieve the missed items, and then carry out the assassination.

What they didn't expect was that these Prophet's Guards were professionally trained. Not only were they required to register the reason for entering the palace, the destination, and the required time, but they also had special patrols sent to follow and monitor them.

The strictness of this security measure is simply impeccable in this era. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest security measure in the world.

Seeing that there was no opportunity, the Mamluks who had sneaked into the palace made up their minds and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around in the dormitory to launch a surprise attack and killed the five patrolmen who were monitoring them.

Then, relying on their familiarity with the area, they quietly moved towards Niza's bedroom.

When they arrived at Niza's bedroom, they were discovered by the guards guarding there.

Seeing that there was no patrol following and monitoring these soldiers who were supposed to be on duty, the Prophet Guards guarding here immediately understood what was going on and shouted to warn them.

The two sides then started fighting in front of Niza's bedroom. Although each of these Mamluks was a master of martial arts, their number was more than twice that of the five Prophet's Guards guarding in front of the bedroom.

However, these five Prophet's Guards are fully armed and have an absolute advantage in defense. Their martial arts are not much inferior to those Mamluks, and their bodies have been strengthened by the artifact Nana.

Apart from sneak attacks, these Mamluks would not be able to gain much advantage in a head-on confrontation.
