I was a knight in the Middle Ages

The meeting on the second day was held as scheduled, mainly to discuss the distribution of power in Balor City. However, the anti-bandit operation that Alpha was most concerned about was glossed over. The number of troops to be sent was entirely determined by the forces participating in the war, and even a leader was not discussed.

As for the distribution of power in Balor, a joint management committee was established, consisting of Talos' city guards, local nobles, a mercenary organization alliance, the Alpha Knights and the Republican Army, to jointly manage Balor.

In the future, Balor will focus on commercial trade, optimize product structure, and vigorously develop industry and commerce. Originally, Balor was mainly engaged in animal husbandry, and now it is preparing to recover the mining areas in various places under the occupation of surrounding bandit groups.

Each major force is responsible for the recovery of the mining area in their respective regions. If they cannot complete the task, they can hand it over to capable people to complete it. Alpha still chose the Menis Iron Mine in the north. After all, there is a huge conflict between the Alpha Mercenary Group and the Menis Bandit Group.

However, the Menis bandit gang is not easy to deal with. They have been entrenched here for more than 20 years and their power has long been deeply rooted. Most people dare not take on this task.

Alpha was sighing in the office when Monkey suddenly delivered a message: "Lord Alpha, Aaron and Afari are back, and they brought back a lot of people."

Alpha left Flynn behind without hesitation and headed straight for the north gate. After all, the rest of the work was just endless quarreling.

It turned out that Aaron brought back a team of 500 people, but many people did not trust them, and some were waiting for the opportunity.

"Lord Alpha, arrange for everyone to gather outside the north gate and ask Rowling to come and discuss the arrangements." Alpha did not want to arrange these people in Balor. After all, there would be too many people and too many eyes, and who knows what would happen at that time.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The monkey did as he was told, leaving Alpha alone.

"Lord Alpha, I am the personal secretary assigned to you by Lady Lilia." Phyllis suddenly interrupted Alpha's thoughts.

"Who are you?" Alpha looked at the girl with an oriental face in front of him and felt somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"It was you who saved me in Balor last time, don't you remember?" The girl's eyes were full of tenderness, but more of it was gloom and worry about the future.

"I remember." Alpha replied, and then asked, "Are you an Oriental?" Alpha still remembered that there were some Oriental warriors who intercepted and sniped him on the way to escape. He was afraid that the appearance of an Oriental might not be simple.

"I am mixed-race, my mother is Western. My Eastern name is Zhang Yunting, and Lord Alpha can call me Phyllis." Phyllis didn't seem to want to mention her father, and Alpha didn't ask more.

Alpha is busy with work now, Lilia has to train the sniper team, and Rowling is in charge of the integration of the team. But how can Alpha, as the leader of the Knights, be on the front line alone? So he needs a helper.

"Do you know martial arts?" Alpha looked at Phyllis, wanting to know her detailed situation before making specific arrangements.

"I know oriental martial arts, but I'm not very good at horse riding." Phyllis worked hard, but it was obviously impossible to become an equestrian master overnight.

"It's okay. You can prepare the nearby map and learn sand table techniques first. If you have any difficulties in this regard, you can ask Lilia. At the same time, help me recruit ten personal soldiers. The standards are flexibility and strength. If there are any difficulties or difficulties in this regard, you can also ask Rowling or Lilia." Most of Alpha's personal soldiers have been sent out and become centurions. As the commander of the knights, he must not put himself in danger.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Phyllis acted decisively and was about to leave.

"There's no rush for this matter. Come with me to the outer city to arrange those herdsmen first." Alpha stopped Phyllis who was about to leave.

"Lord Alpha, I have a request and I hope you can agree to it." Phyllis hesitated.

"Tell me about it." Alpha is no longer the young man he used to be. He will never agree to something easily without asking clearly.

"The human trafficking organization that arrested me before is still reaching out to those innocent lives. I would like to ask you to help me rescue them." Phyllis lowered her head and pleaded.

……

"Lord Alpha, don't you want to place them in the city of Balor?" Rowling speculated on Alpha's intention.

"Although the city can guarantee safety, it is difficult for us to control the situation after entering the city, and we cannot guarantee their safety." Of course, there are also personal reasons for Alpha. The people in Balor City are now unstable. Even the Talos family, who have the best relationship, are no longer open-hearted because of the issue of interest distribution, not to mention other forces.

"Your Excellency, what specific requirements do you have for these people?" Originally, Rowling wanted to use the city of Balor to provide shelter for these herdsmen, but now it is obviously not feasible.

"I originally planned to capture Menis City and turn it into our logistics supply base, but the situation is no longer under our control." Alpha had already made a decision. "Let's build a temporary base nearby, or arrange for them to go to Bilis directly. You can arrange this matter, and let Aaron and Afari handle it."

"Okay, there is a mountain forest 20 kilometers north of Balor City. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can be used as a temporary base." Rowling looked at the map and had an idea in mind.

"But these herdsmen have not produced anything yet. Coupled with the blockade of the Filta Bandits, our food supply may be difficult to sustain." Rowling frowned.

"Let them make weapons, especially arrows, and train cavalry. Let Duoluo and Gulis take care of this task." But then Alpha crossed Duoluo off the list again. The key to this bandit suppression was the enemy's whereabouts. Although Duoluo's individual strength was slightly insufficient, he was a genius in tracking and counter-tracking, and bringing him along would be very helpful.

"Lord Alpha, are you considering who will train the troops?" Rowling asked, seeing Alpha's doubts.

"Do you have the right person?" Alpha asked curiously.

"There are two people who you rescued from prison before and have been following you. These days I found that their training methods are very good and they can adapt to the new training methods very quickly." Rowling paid attention to many areas, especially in personnel assessment.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. If they are loyal people, you can teach them the basic fighting skills and they don't have to report to me anymore." In fact, the most suitable person for training is Tasli, but unfortunately she is not around now.

"Phyllis, go out and study the sand table with Lilia first. I have something to report to Alpha." Watching Phyllis leave, Rowling hugged Alpha's body.

"Girl, you must have missed me after not seeing me for a few days!" Alpha put his hands on Rowling's chest.

"Yes, Lord Alpha, I just missed you." Rowling replied obediently.

……

"Pay attention, tonight's operation is mainly to rescue people, and we will rescue as many as we can." Alpha knew that the Guliana Auction House had a powerful background. It had previously been protected by Ferta, and now it was blessed by the local nobles. He could not afford to offend them, unless he did not want to stay in Balor. In order to avoid being torn apart, Alpha decided to stage an attack himself.

"Lord Alpha, will such an action completely destroy the relationship with the nobles?" Rowling knew that the auction house was the property of the nobles, and Alpha's actions were illegal and might cause major conflicts.

"We will not compromise with darkness and firmly oppose all human trafficking." Alpha also knew the consequences, but could not sit idly by.

"Action." Alpha didn't continue thinking about these messy things and gave the order directly.

Dozens of assassins in black rushed into the backyard of the auction house. They simply knocked out those who did not resist and killed those who resisted fiercely. Now was not the time to consider the consequences.

The operation lasted for two hours before it was finally discovered by the other party. The alarm sounded and the entire auction house became chaotic like a frightened bird. Then Balor became lively.

"Retreat." Alpha made a prompt decision and immediately issued the retreat order.

"Lord Alpha, a large number of warriors are blocking our way." Unexpectedly, Eastern warriors appeared at this time. These people seemed to be the warriors before Philta. Unexpectedly, they had not left yet.

"Send a signal to Lilia and Makina, and ask them to rush in and prepare to support us." Alpha suddenly thought of something and did not rush out immediately.

As the flares were fired, more and more knights rushed over. The first to arrive at the battlefield were of course the well-prepared Makina Knights. Alpha and others took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Knights and transformed themselves into supporting knights. The enemies now became samurai.

"Everyone stop attacking, stop attacking." The nobles and city guards who arrived later also rushed in.

"Captain Alpha, what's going on? Why did you kill my guards?" Tanster, the representative of the auction house, questioned Alpha.

"I received news that someone attacked the auction house. Unexpectedly, these people are the remnants of Philta. I am eliminating them." Alpha pointed at those warriors without any guilt, intending to kill them all.

"Lord Alpha, they are not the remnants of Ferta. They are our guards, not bandits." Tanster pointed out Alpha's mistake loudly.

"These warriors killed innocent people indiscriminately when Ferta controlled the city of Balor. Now they are conducting inhumane human experiments here. Their crimes are unforgivable!" Alpha hated them to the core and would never let them go.

"Captain Alpha, what human experiments?" Talos stood up. He thought it was just an ordinary bandit attack, but he didn't expect it to lead to the oriental warriors from the Ferta period and human experiments.

"You can go in and take a look. My people have already taken control of the experimental base. These are all evidence of these warriors killing innocent people. Lord Tanster should not know about this!" Alpha did not want to be an enemy of everyone and put the blame on the warriors. After all, he did not want to completely turn against them, otherwise the subsequent supplies might face a huge crisis.

"How is that possible? I know nothing." Sweat broke out on Tanster's face. After all, human experiments are strictly prohibited in the mainland. They fall under the category of dark forces. Once discovered and not dealt with, the Vatican will declare a holy war.

"Captain Alpha, can we sit down and talk?" Tanster asked Talos for help and looked at Alpha.

"Rowling, Lilia, Makino, watch the scene, rescue the wounded, and don't let any dark forces go." Alpha's ability is limited, and it is impossible for him to make things awkward.

"Lord Alpha, what do you mean by this? If you need money, just tell me. Why did you bring people to take over my place?" Everyone present was smart, and Tanster was no longer hiding anything. After all, when distributing benefits, Flinna, who represented the Alpha Knights, only asked to participate in city management and did not get any benefits.

"I ask Lord Tanster, do you know that there are human experiments here?" Alpha asked directly.

"These are the dark seeds planted under Philta's previous management. Of course we didn't know about them." Tanster put the blame on Philta.

"What about the Guliana family? Do they know about it, or have you condoned such dark forces?" Alpha kept holding on to these points, leaving Tanster helpless.

"Captain Alpha, let's be frank. What do you want?" Tanster still thought that Alpha needed sufficient benefits. After all, many things had not been discussed with Alpha until now.

"I don't want anything. I just want to fight against human trafficking." Alpha looked at everyone, especially Talos and Moslin.

"Human trafficking is condoned by the kingdom, and you can't stop it." Tanster also became angry. After all, he was an old noble, and it was impossible for him to keep bowing to a Knight Commander.

"The king only allows slaves to be captured during the war. For the rest, no one will recognize them. May I ask where these people come from? If you find out where they came from, I can return them to you." This is a dark age. Alpha cannot illuminate everything. He can only do what is in front of him.

"I don't care how you compromise with the darkness, but now that I am here, I will not watch my people be threatened by the darkness." Alpha stared at everyone.

"Hmph, don't think I'm easy to bully!" Tanster roared and ran out of the secret room.

"Captain Alpha, you will offend those nobles by saying this, and it will also be very detrimental to our commercial city plan." Talos's tone was weak, and it was obvious that this was the result of Talos's retreat.

"Captain Talos has changed. The Talos who once loved the people and was willing to confront anyone for the people has disappeared." Alpha looked at Talos disappointedly.

"Captain Talos, you see your people crying and asking for help. Listen to their demands. They just want to survive. Talos' compromise will not only harm the interests of the people."

"Business is not just about buying and selling slaves, nor is it about dark organ experiments. Believe it or not, I will eradicate these dark forces and make Balor a better place." Alpha knew that this was the consequence of Talos' compromise, but he did not expect Talos to compromise so thoroughly.

"But--"
