Volume 5 Chapter 1: Clever Trap

Aiwa suddenly heard the sounds of battle from the party’s resting place. He then proceeded to rush forth towards the scene, only to discover six Tanzya experts, including Beira, Lumen and Sili in it, were already partic.i.p.ating in the fight. However, two of those fencers had already collapsed in a blink of an eye.

Aiwa was not worried about those male fencers but rather concerned about his women, especially his wives, Beira and Dolly. If they died in front of his eyes after marrying just recently, wouldn’t it tarnish his reputation?

As those four black clothed fencers attacked Beira all at once, Aiwa anxiously operated his dou qi to employ a barrier to s.h.i.+eld Beira’s body.

It will be quite difficult for the enemy to hurt her in the short term, as long as his dou qi barrier doesn’t break.

Taking a glance at the sword movements of those four men, they seem to be those four fencing experts from the defeated Wolf Army! And so, it seems that they had came for him.

If it wasn’t for him worrying about the girls, he had no other reason to be afraid of these four men. However, even Aiwa couldn’t be their opponent if he was distracted. Their swordplay was very sharp, and threatening. Not to mention, the top grade long swords they wielded added on to the difficulty.

Aiwa’s emergence did not go unnoticed by those four black clothed fencers. At this moment, Beira was being protected by four Tanzya fencers as well as some maids. Moreover, with Aiwa’s dou qi barrier protecting her, those four Wolf Kingdom fencers were unable to hurt Beira.

Upon his arrival, all eyes were on Aiwa.

At this time, Rosa also gained haste. As although these maids did knew some martial arts, they were nothing but amateurs in comparison to those Wolf Kingdom fencers.

[Rosa, Sili, continue moving forwards while protecting the Princess and Miss. Dolly. I’ll catch up after handling them.]

Aiwa couldn’t distribute his energy to protect his two wives at the same time. Thus, if only those four men focused on himself, the Princess and Dolly will be safe.

[It’s him!]

One of the Wolf Kingdom’s fencers said fervently, looking at Aiwa as if he was some kind of treasure, [We’ll become rich if we can capture him!]

Those four Wolf Kingdom fencers came over towards Aiwa, thrusting those s.h.i.+ning swords towards him.

At that moment, Aiwa was wielding the sword his newlywed wife Wuya had given him before leaving Tanzya. Naturally, it was the most famous sword within the Tanzya Tribe. Meant as a keepsake, it was Wuya’s wish for Aiwa to look at that sword, as if he was gazing at her.

Aiwa had already sense how formidable this sword was from the battle with the enemy last time.

He had not truly fought with these four experts last time as they were unable to display their sword technique’s prowess amidst the clash of the ten thousand men army. However, it was completely different now as they had already surround Aiwa, making it impossible for him to escape!

[Aiwa, I refuse to leave, I’m going to fight along with you!]

Beira said bravely.

Although she was very young, she was nevertheless the Princess of Tanzya, and possessed the most courageous spirit of the Tanzyanians.

[It seems that this brat’s luck with women is not shallow, even making the Little Princess of Tanzya h.e.l.l-bent on him! However, your life will end today! Haha, Princess Beira, you best choose one among us four to be your man if you don’t want to be a widow!]

One of the Wolf Kingdom’s fencers laughed impudently.

It seemed to them that Aiwa had taken advantage of the circ.u.mstances in the previous battle, taking the help of those incompetent Wolf Soldiers among the confusion. His luck would not be that good today.

Aiwa was infuriated when he heard the counterpart’s rampant laughing. To even dare to have any plans on his women, their death was set!

Aiwa operated his dou qi secretly, gathering it on his hand. The long sword within the sheath he held in his head jumped out automatically, leaping towards his other hand.

Those four experts could not help but get startled upon his movement, but after looking at Aiwa’s young age and with this four-to-one advantage, they felt confident.

[Brat, perhaps we will leave your intact corpse if you surrender obediently. However, if you remain obstinate, our swords will cut you into pieces!]

At this time, Aiwa suddenly placed the sword in his hand at his neck, solemnly looking at Beira and Dolly as he roared, [If you don’t go, I can only take my own life!]

It seemed as if flames were shooting out of Aiwa’s eyes, thus giving him quite an intimidating appearance. Beira and Dolly didn’t dare to speak anymore, and so they followed Sili’s lead under the protection of the remaining four Tanzya fencers and escaped towards Favargo.

The four Wolf Kingdom fencers had originally come for Aiwa and they did not dare guarantee that they could deal with him if they split their strength. Therefore, they could only watch as Beira and Dolly made their escape.

[Brat, you’re very pa.s.sionate. However, let me tell you, we’ll overtake them after dealing with you.]

[You want to kill me? Come then!]

After saying his piece, Aiwa proceeded to grip his sword which proceeded to tremble and then dash its way towards the fencer’s throat.

The opponent was indeed an expert. He immediately received Aiwa’s sword with his sword’s blade. However, he could also feel the tremendous strength coming from Aiwa’s arm.

Looking at Aiwa make his move, the four fencers weaved a sword net, planning to envelop Aiwa within it

If it were not for the improvement of his energy after eating the snake gall, thus resulting in an increase in his reaction speed, he would have already been pierced into the shape of a honeycomb.

Although he didn’t have the ability to kill these four fencing experts immediately, he still had the self-protection of his dou qi. Thus, the opponent was unable to do anything to him.

He gave them false bravado that they are ensured victory, but they were unable to capture him. This was all to give enough time for both Beira and Dolly to escape to Favargo.

The energy within Aiwa’s body roused along with his anger but the physical strength of the Wolf Kingdom’s fencers kept on declining. Simultaneously, their attack as well as their defensive movements also became sluggish.

Using energy all at once is not a good thing. Many people believe flashy and extraordinary moves to be the most important but Aiwa had a completely different opinion at this moment.

The opponents strength gradually declined while Aiwa’s strength gradually increased making his sword movements more and more quicker.

Compared to them, Aiwa’s sword movements were faster only by a small margin, but Aiwa had the upper hand due to the fact that they couldn’t attack him because of his dou qi.

However, soon he felt as if he was merely toying with a group of children. He brandished his sword in a neither too fast nor too slow manner, merely leaning his body to the side in order to avoid the opponent’s attacks.

Aiwa didn’t plan to kill them immediately as that would be letting them off very easily.

He intended to display his sword-play in front of his women and hence pretended to retreat step-by-step as the battle proceeded,

Every single time, those four fencers felt as if they were on the verge of succeeding but it always seemed that they miss the right moment. As this kept on occurring, they didn’t want to give up and therefore chased after Aiwa.

After running for around a li under the fencer’s chase, Aiwa finally saw his women being escorted by the Tanzya fencers.

[I’m back!]

Aiwa shouted loudly.

Beira immediately turned back to see Aiwa escaping under the pursuit of the four fencers, it seemed to her as if he was in a desperate situation. She was just about to turn around to help Aiwa but she suddenly saw a huge net drop from the sky, trapping those Wolf Kingdom fencers within it.

Even Aiwa who had turned around to fight back was startled with this development.

At the same moment those fencers were caught in the net, Favargo’s soldiers scuttled out from both sides of the road.

[Senior Aiwa, we finally meet each other again!]

A young man wearing the adornment of a Captain yelled towards Aiwa from within the troops.

After taking a careful look, these men were indeed soldiers of Favargo and moreover, that young man seemed to look very familiar.

Looking at Aiwa’s expression, that young captain named himself immediately saying, [I am the Captain of the 23rd platoon, Mozart!]

At this moment, the Wolf Kingdom fencers inside the net thought to cut the net open and escape but one of the Favargo soldiers advanced forward and smash a wooden pole on top of one of the fencer’s head. After their fellow fencer collapsed, this frightened the rest into stopping their struggles. The man who was. .h.i.t was the same guy who had intentions on Aiwa’s women.

Aiwa slashed his sword but that guy also had a quick reaction speed and thus leaned his head to the side. The outcome was that the sword had cut his ear, making him scream.

[You..Why are you here?]

Aiwa asked.

[Ever since Senior had implemented the traps here, we kept guard at here everyday. It was our platoon’s turn today and we unexpectedly ran into Senior.]

Mozart felt honored for being able to save the supreme commander of Favargo by chance.

It would also increase the chance of promotion for those posted at this place.

[Very good, I shall reward you for your loyalty to your duty!]

Aiwa stated as he patted Mozart’s shoulders.

Mozart showed a straightforward smile, asking, [Senior Officer, how shall we handle these four dogs?]

[First, capture them and bring them to Favargo!]

Aiwa waved his hand. He absolutely didn’t expect that the traps he had implemented a month ago would be useful at this moment.

[Aiwa, they are all your men?]

Beira couldn’t believe it.

[Haha, is there still a need to ask?]

Aiwa said proudly. He had set these traps up for dealing with Tanzyanians but he really didn’t expect that the harvest would end up like this.

[Then why did you let yourself be captured by Older Sister Wuya?]

Looking at Aiwa’s pleased expression, Beira thought of bringing him down.

[Wuya is very cunning, perhaps she didn’t walk through these paths and rather avoided my troops.]

Aiwa scratched his head to cover up his shyness. After all, he was captured by a girl which looked so fragile.

Mozart ordered the troops under him to tie those four Wolf Kingdom fencers and then lead them to Favargo like livestock.

Previously, Aiwa had trained the soldiers to strengthen the frontier defense and thus Favargo was tranquil for a period of time. However, after Aiwa went missing, all the people in Favargo became anxious.

After seeing that Aiwa had returned to Favargo safely and moreover bringing back the Princess of Tanzya, the entire Favargo City was in a state of jubilation.

Mozart followed behind Aiwa, feeling very honored. Because it was he who had captured the four fencers chasing Aiwa.

For his loyalty and also saving Aiwa, he was promoted to a Hundred Man Commander and also became the Captain of Aiwa’s personal bodyguards.

Aiwa always gave importance to this kind of valuable men. Because, even after he had left Favargo for such a long time, Mozart still earnestly fulfilled his duty and also took quick action, thus capturing those Wolf Kingdom fencers. It showed that he hadn’t slacked with his military training even a little. With such a officer leading a team, Aiwa didn’t have to worry much about his personal power!

However, Mozart felt that another man also ought to receive a reward and thereupon stated, [Senior, at the time when you were not present, Senior Zebin implemented the military defense plans you had formulated. Shouldn’t Senior Zebin also ought to receive a reward?]

[Is he your relative?]

Aiwa asked Mozart.

[Absolutely not. If it were not for Senior Zebin to implement your orders so strictly, it would have been impossible for us to perform so well!]

Mozart explained.

[Haha, shouldn’t I ought to increase your rank again?]

Aiwa laughed. He had an even more good opinion about this subordinate now. [All right. I’ll listen to you. Since Senior Zebin had implemented the military defense plans I formulated so well, I’ll give all the military power to his hand. Also, I’ll give 100 troops to you again, train all of them to form an elite squad like yours!]

After handing the military control over to Senior Zebin, he stayed idle at Favargo. Especially, since the Tanzya tribe which used to disturb Favargo was now in a friendly relations with the Ha.s.s Empire, it was useless to implement military drills at this land.

The Wolf Kingdom which had a great hatred towards Aiwa also couldn’t do anything to him since they were separated by a large distance.

[Senior, what should we do with those four Wolf Kingdom fencers?]

Mozart asked.

[We absolutely cannot let them return back! Cut their hand and foot tendons and then make them do forced labor inside the city!]

At this time, Aiwa was amusing himself with his two wives as he took a stroll throughout the city.

What method had Aiwa used to make the Tanzya tribe not disturb Favargo anymore? This question was a complete riddle in the eyes of the Favargo residents. Because of this, Aiwa’s fame at Favargo had become even more ill.u.s.trious, making everyone revere this young Senior Officer.
