I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"The Black-Armored Knight is not something that a villain like you can control. You are clearly lying! You are not a real knight!" Ferta sneered. Seeing the Black-Armored Knight rushing out, this move was the source of his confidence.

"Shoot!" Alpha gave the order, without any formal knightly demeanor. A hail of arrows fell, and Ferta's warriors suffered heavy casualties.

Although there were 200 Black Armored Lion Riders, Ferta only had 50 Iron Riders. With the addition of 100 Black Armored Dragon Riders, the numerical disadvantage made it impossible for them to stop the Lion Riders. They could only watch Ferta break through the siege, and the Alpha Knights were powerless.

"If Gulis is here, Ferta won't be able to escape." Alpha sighed inwardly, but he was very satisfied to have conquered the city of Balor. People are always greedy, so Alpha only sent a mobile team to follow behind and did not continue to pursue.

Filta fled in panic, his heart was broken. Why did the Black-Armored Knight rebel? Was the Black-Armored Knight who followed him trustworthy? A series of questions made Filta restless.

However, Philta was secretly delighted along the way, thankful that Alpha, the idiot, did not send a large army to pursue him. But he was also upset that he did not bring out the treasures that were about to be obtained and the woman in the room, which had benefited some beast. Thinking carefully, this time the loss was only a part of his treasure house, but when he thought that the various forces in Balor City would kill each other again because of this treasure in the future, Philta let it go.

The Republican Army is definitely not a good group, and their means of deceiving people are obvious. If they are allowed to play their own role, Balor will no longer be the territory of the Kingdom of Portos. Ferta knows that he will inevitably have to fight with the Republican Army in the future, and the doctrine of "freedom, democracy, and republic" cannot be played freely forever. Once this idea is deeply rooted in people's hearts, it will become the enemy of all countries.

Captain Talos's adjutant sounded the alarm: "Captain Talos, the Republican Army has entered the city from the south gate."

Talos roared: "Who told you to open the door?" He was well aware of the strength of the Republican Army and was therefore very angry.

Adjutant Liad explained: "They had their own people in the city guards, and they opened the city gate themselves."

Talos immediately ordered: "Liad, you take a thousand city guards to garrison the west city and be careful of infiltration by the Republican Army." Then he led the knights to the Alpha area.

In the Alpha area, Talos requested: "Captain Alpha, I hope you can enter the city of Balor." Talos did not want to be an enemy of the Republican Army. After all, Ferta's army was eyeing the surroundings covetously. The unrest in the city at this moment would only allow Ferta's Fatalia Black Knights to reap the benefits.

Alpha is integrating all the black armor knights. Now there are 130 black armor dragon knights and 40 regular knights. The strength has been fully improved. Alpha responded: "You want me to fight against the Republican Army?"

Talos explained: "You don't have to fight the Republican Army head-on, just prevent them from infiltrating." Talos had his own plan. Through royal orders, he drove away Ferta and rescued several city lords of Balor City. This time the city guards played the smallest role, and it was not legitimate for them to get the fruit, so he could only let Alpha join in and share the fruit.

"Okay, we agree. But we have a request. All of Ferta's spoils belong to us, and we have the right to recruit soldiers." Unexpectedly, Florina actually mixed in with the team and walked out.

"Okay, the North District is the government office of Philta, but you are not allowed to harass any civilians, and the number of recruits must not exceed one thousand." Talos agreed immediately. Talos would only feel at ease if there were requests. Without desires or requests, Talos would become suspicious.

"Our Alpha Mercenary Group will take over the defense of the northern district and prevent the Republican Army from spreading its doctrine." Florina didn't want to go out and sleep in the open, and she didn't want to work hard.

When Flynn asked to take over the defense of the northern city and stop the Republican Army from spreading its doctrine, Talos agreed without hesitation. He knew that the most important thing now was to motivate the mercenaries to fight against the Republican Army, and these requests were undoubtedly a strong motivation.

As a result, the mercenaries entered the North District. They were brave and fearless, and never backed down in the cruel war and harsh environment. Flinna showed excellent command ability, not only the leader of the mercenary group, but also an excellent strategist.

Although Flinna was a little lacking in actual combat, she was very good at controlling people's hearts. At least, Alpha was no match for her in this aspect.

However, the Republican Army was not an easy opponent. Their doctrines were supported by many people, causing the mercenaries to encounter setbacks and failures in the war, and some even lost their lives. But the mercenaries never gave up and always firmly believed in their beliefs and goals.

Talos has been supporting the actions of the mercenaries, providing them with a large amount of supplies and funds. He knows very well that only if the mercenaries win can the city return to peace and prosperity.

"I didn't expect there would be a beautiful woman in Ferta's bedroom. She's pretty good looking. You'll have the chance tonight." Flena looked at the woman in Ferta's room without any pity or sympathy. After all, in this era, women had a low status, and Flena was of noble status, so naturally she wouldn't be nice to this woman.

"Go away!" Alpha untied the woman's rope and let her go.

"What? You look down on her?" Florina thought Alpha had high standards, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that Fatham and Rowling were not as good as this woman. There must be another hidden story.

"Women are not commodities, nor are they objects of exchange. They also have autonomy." Alpha's ideas are incompatible with the mainstream of the times.

"I didn't expect you to have such insights. If I wasn't familiar with your words and deeds, I would have thought you were working for the Republican Army. After all, those people treat women very badly." Florina had also witnessed the atrocities of the Republican Army.

"Those people only use the name of freedom and republic, but in fact they are doing ulterior motives." Historically, the Taiping Army of the Qing Dynasty was also like this, but later they seized power and also became rulers who exploited the people.

"Why don't you leave? Do you want Alpha to love you well?" Florina looked at the eavesdropping woman with a hint of anger on her face.

"Let's go! It's okay. Be careful next time." Alpha gave the woman a reassuring look.

"Thank you." In fact, the woman is also a member of the Republican Army. If someone had dared to slander the Republican Army like this before, the woman would have refuted it immediately. But now the woman seemed to understand some of the truth after hearing Alpha's explanation.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next?" Florina had already entered the city, and it was almost impossible to get her out of the city.

"What are your plans? Are you going to stay in Balor City, or continue to fight the bandits?" Alpha's goal is to wipe out the bandits. They killed his subordinates, and Alpha will never let it go.

"I will provide you with comprehensive logistical support. We must have a firm logistical supply base. As long as the Republican Army is still in the city, Talos will not deal with us. Now, we are both enemies and friends with the Republican Army, and the same is true for our relationship with Talos." Florina is well versed in human nature.

"Can I trust you?" Alpha looked at Flynn with suspicion. The relationship between the two was very subtle, more like an ally who had something on each other.

"We can join forces to wipe out the bandits and gain a foothold in Balor City." Flinna was very smart and understood that military strength was the foundation of everything. Without sufficient military strength, no one would take her voice seriously.

"Okay, I will be in charge of the military aspects and you will handle other matters." Balor is not the foundation of Alpha, so it doesn't matter even if he fails.

The next day, Alpha arranged for Rowling and others to clean up the spoils, while Monkey, Makina and others went to recruit mercenaries and knights. This time, there was no secret obstruction from the enemy. The Alpha Mercenary Group recruited more than 100 people on the first day, half of whom were willing to become knights. They were all good in quality, and the rest was a matter of training and coordination.

In the afternoon, Talos had people contact various forces in the city to prepare to redistribute tasks and jointly deal with the Republican Army. After all, the threat of the Republican Army was too great and had to be guarded against.

"Hello everyone, I believe you all know why I called you here. Now, the Communist Army has infiltrated the city. They are in the name of republican freedom, but they are actually here just to share the rights we have received. If they just want to share a little, it's fine, but they actually want to eliminate us, which is something none of us can tolerate." Talos is a staunch defender of the imperial power and cannot tolerate any threat to the imperial power.

"We must completely eradicate the Republican Army and not let them spread rampantly in the city of Balor." A mercenary leader shouted.

"The key is that we can't distinguish the Republican Army at all now. The people in South City are basically their people." Now, Talos has completely blocked South City, but still cannot completely prevent the infiltration of the Republican Army.

"Then kill them all. Republican freedom cannot spread freely, otherwise we will become the public enemy of all empires." An old noble stood up.

"There are 30,000 civilians in South City. If we carry out indiscriminate massacres, it may cause riots in the city, and we will not be able to control it at all." Talos did not agree with this decision. After all, all the forces added together would not exceed 5,000 people, and it would be impossible to completely push the people to the Republican Army.

As Alpha's military advisor, Flynn attended this important meeting. She knew that indiscriminate massacres were impossible, and the Republican Army's strongest weapon was not force, but thought. Therefore, they needed to use the same ideological weapon to stop them.

"Then what should we do?" Everyone's eyes turned to the masked woman.

"Establish a new church." Under the encouragement and instigation of Florina, Alpha slowly told the two of them the method they had researched last night to fight against the Republican Army. However, this proposal made the scene awkward for a while. Everyone stared at Alpha in amazement, as if they were watching a joke: Isn't the new church just another organization that is hostile to the Church?

"Captain Alpha wants to set up a Freemasonry, where everyone can help each other and face all difficulties together." Seeing Alpha's embarrassment, Flena deliberately stepped in to help him out. She knew that this was the only way to embarrass Alpha and gain more authority for herself.

Actually, that was what Alpha meant. He just didn't consider the church's reaction, and he himself was a high-ranking knight of the church, but he didn't pay any attention to it. I'm afraid this was also intentional by Alpha.

"This method is OK. Can you discuss the specific operation with us?" Flinna's words successfully attracted the attention of most people. Alpha didn't mind Flinna's cleverness too much. After all, he didn't plan to stay for long, so he let Flinna come forward more.

Everyone agreed to form a new organization to resist the Republican Army's ideological weapons, led by Talos and Flora.

To ensure the consistency and stability of the operation, Talos needs to balance the interests of all parties and communicate in depth with other nobles and mercenary leaders to reach a consensus. This will avoid betrayal and internal division during the operation.

At the same time, Talos needs to take steps to identify Republican spies in the South City so that he can take appropriate action. This may require him to use various intelligence methods, including informants, spies, and monitoring devices, to obtain valuable information. He also needs to establish an effective intelligence system to detect and combat Republican activities in a timely manner.

Ultimately, Talos needs to develop a specific action plan to completely eliminate the threat of the Republican Army. This plan may include measures such as blocking and controlling the South City, raiding and attacking the Republican Army, and pacifying and supervising the people in the city. He needs to ensure that every detail in the action plan has been fully considered and fully prepared.

Although Talos and Flinna's plan was foolproof, the sudden change in the situation forced him to reevaluate his actions. Felta seemed to have contacted various parties in the grassland and reached a tacit agreement with many forces to blockade Balor for several weeks.

During this time, the power of the Republican Army gradually spread throughout the city, and more and more people joined in. Talos was deeply confused and anxious. For a long time, he had always believed that as long as he had enough troops, he could easily eradicate the Republican Army. However, now he realized that things were far from that simple.

After forming an alliance with various forces, Talos, with a huge army under his command, was unable to eradicate the influence of the Republican Army. He had to find a new way, at least to dilute the influence of the Republican Army. He began to think about how to establish his own power in Balor and gain more support from the people. This was a huge challenge for him, but he knew that he had no choice now and had to face the challenge bravely and work hard to find a solution.

During this time, the relationship between Alpha and Flynn has also changed. When facing a common enemy together, the two gradually established a trusting and cooperative relationship. Flynn provided Alpha with a lot of useful information and suggestions to help him better understand the situation inside the city. Alpha also began to actively seek Flynn's help, and the tacit understanding between the two deepened.

Finally, Alpha decided to take a new approach to solve the problem. He began to actively contact the people in the city more and more frequently, deeply understand their needs and ideas, establish a church agency to spread order, set up a relief agency to provide help and support to those persecuted by the Republican Army, and organize many public activities to increase the connection and cohesion between the people.

Compared with the Republican Army, which only expressed support verbally, the Church represented by Alpha and the Freemasons represented by Flinna took practical actions. Especially when Balor was blocked, the city was short of supplies and prices soared, which further highlighted the Republican Army's inaction. In contrast, the Church and Freemasons gradually gained recognition from the people and began to rise again on the grassland.
