I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"But--"

"No buts. Business requires a good environment. If they knew that once they entered Balor they might never leave, would they still dare to come?" Alpha stopped persuading and left.

"Captain Alpha, be careful of those nobles. They won't let you go." Talos quietly reminded Alpha out of his remaining conscience.

"I just hope that the Captain Talos who used to protect the people can come back." Alpha felt that he was alone and powerless and it was difficult to change anything. He needed support.

"Captain Alpha, we have the same ideals, why don't we work together to create brilliance?" Moslin on the side was just watching the fun and had no intention of reconciling conflicts and solving problems.

"Haha, if we share the same ideals, you should take action instead of waiting for me to take action and then standing idly by, so don't pretend to use freedom and democracy as an excuse." Alpha had long seen through Moslin's hypocrisy.

"That's because they have no faith at all, so they are persecuted. If they..." Unfortunately, Alpha didn't listen to Moslin's hypocritical performance at all.

"For God so loves the world, not that those who believe in me will gain eternal life." Alpha's words were a bit unorthodox, but Moslin was not a member of the church, so no one would believe his slanderous words against Alpha.

"Alpha, why didn't you inform me in advance when you were doing this? This puts me in a very passive position." As soon as Alpha went out, he was blocked by Florina.

"What will happen if I tell you? Will you support me, or collude with those nobles and let them transfer their personnel?" Alpha watched coldly. He knew that Florina was a noble and would not have any mercy on the lower class people.

"Do you think I'm so cold-hearted? Can't I help you?" Flinna shouted angrily.

"If you really want to help me, you won't come and blame me. Instead, you should go and see the people who are being persecuted and stop this from happening." Alpha said and left without looking back.

Flena looked at Alpha's receding back and shouted angrily, "You bastard, I will make you surrender sooner or later."

……

In order to avoid meeting those hypocritical nobles, Alpha was the first to send troops to suppress the bandits. Alpha led a powerful team of 300 mercenaries and 300 cavalrymen to the grassland to suppress the bandits.

This corps includes fifty black-armored dragoons and fifty heavy cavalry made from the black armor of the lion riders. Although the size of six hundred people may not be enough to deal with the bandit forces of the entire grassland, Alpha is only responsible for clearing the northern area, and the other directions have their own leaders.

There are rich mineral deposits all over the grassland, but due to the rule of Lord Ferta, these mines were basically in a free-range state and occupied by major bandit groups.

Today, the Joint Management Committee is preparing to take back the management rights of Balor in order to increase income and redevelop Balor. This move has led many bandit groups to take action in an attempt to stop the actions of the Joint Management Committee and seize more resources.

The mission of the corps led by Alpha is to destroy these bandit groups and protect the mines of the Joint Management Council, which is also their own industry. After all the mines in the area are captured, the Joint Management Council will receive 40% of the profits, which will be used as taxes to build Balor and clear obstacles for the redevelopment of Balor, and the remaining 60% will be given to the Knights who occupy the mines.

For a time, all the major forces in the city of Balor were gearing up and making solemn vows, hoping to make a big splash in this operation and gain more benefits.

In order to achieve victory quickly, the Joint Management Committee adopted a multi-pronged attack approach to defeat the bandit groups one by one.

Alpha planned to use the powerful charging ability of the Black-Armored Dragoons and the defensive ability of the Heavy Cavalry to quickly break into the bandit group's position, destroy its defense line, and then the mercenaries would further annihilate them.

The outstanding performance of the corps led by Alpha attracted the imitation of the leaders of other positions. They all adopted the strategy of attacking from multiple directions. For a time, the grassland was filled with shouts of killing and the fighting was extremely fierce.

However, less than a week into the battle, the enemy stopped engaging Alpha's heavy armored corps head-on because the losses were too great.

"Lord Alpha, we have found the enemy. A squadron of fifty people is hovering around us." Although no trace of the enemy could be seen, with Dora's ability, he still found some clues of the enemy.

"Don't worry about the enemy's small force, our target is the Menis Iron Mine." After several consecutive pursuits without any results, Alpha changed its strategy and went straight to the enemy's lair.

"Lilya, Dora, Makino, Monkey, pay attention to the surrounding bandit groups. Don't let your guard down and don't get surrounded by them." The enemy is large in numbers and if they are surrounded, they will probably suffer heavy losses.

"Yes, sir." Several people had their own intelligence spies, responsible for different areas.

The Alpha Knights adopted a three-pronged strategy, with 200 warriors in each unit. The two outer sides were guerrillas, who focused on speed and moved like the wind, and the center was composed of heavy cavalry and chariot teams, who were as solid as a mountain. If there was any disturbance, the guerrillas would avoid the strong and attack the weak. If they encountered fewer enemies, they would attack immediately, and if they encountered more enemies, they would make a detour to form a joint outflanking attack.

Lilia's team is the top sniper in the guerrillas, responsible for long-distance reconnaissance and providing key intelligence. Monkey's team is an excellent scout, good at playing a role in the battle area and behind the enemy, providing key intelligence. Duo Luo's team is an experienced hunter who can find problems through traces on the ground and provide key intelligence. Makina's team is an orthodox cavalry, the most conventional reconnaissance force, responsible for providing real-time intelligence.

Under Alpha's command, Lilia and Monkey's scout team quickly came into the bandit team's sight, using terrain and obstacles to cover themselves, and releasing real-time intelligence to assist Alpha in formulating a battle plan.

Doro's hunters are responsible for gathering intelligence and monitoring the actions of the bandit team. They provide Alpha with critical intelligence by analyzing, tracking, and monitoring the enemy's actions.

Finally, according to the battle plan, Makina's cavalry raided the bandit group, attracted their attention, and provided cover for Lilia and Monkey's scout team.

Under Alpha's command, the guerrillas successfully attracted the bandit group's attention, providing them with precious reaction time. Lilia and Monkey's scout group took full advantage of this opportunity to collect more intelligence and assist Alpha in formulating a more comprehensive battle plan. Finally, under the cover of Lilia and Monkey's scout group, Makina's cavalry launched a fierce attack on the bandit group and successfully defeated the 300-man bandit group with negligible losses.

Thanks to the spirit of teamwork, Alpha made full use of everyone's talents and skills to formulate an efficient battle plan. Lilia, Monkey, Dora and Makina all played a significant role in making this victory a result of everyone's efforts. The contributions of team members cannot be ignored, and everyone's contribution laid the foundation for success.

"During this period, we have fought dozens of battles, both large and small, and wiped out nearly 800 bandit groups. Perhaps no one will dare to confront us head-on in the future." Alpha summarized the battle results of the past ten days. There were more than 30 battles of varying sizes, with more wins than losses, and the Alpha Mercenary Group successfully established its reputation.

"Lord Alpha, a large force is approaching our right wing rapidly, and there are probably thousands of people there." Alpha's heart sank at the sudden intelligence he received.

"Lolin, Makina, lead your troops to leave the headquarters and wait for orders." Alpha has two capable generals who have been promoted to the head of the Knights, namely Luolin and Makina. Now, Alpha is in charge of the central army and commands the entire army.

"Lord Alpha, please come with us and leave the battle circle. It is too dangerous to stay." Rowling was worried about Alpha's safety. After all, the scale of the previous battle was at most three hundred people, which could not pose much threat to the heavy armored cavalry in the center.

"Carry out the mission immediately. Remember not to be blinded by external things. No matter how many enemies there are, we must not lose our composure." Alpha made the final instructions.

"Fatam, Tieniu set up the formation to meet the enemy, Phyllis, bring the map over." Alpha suspected that there was an enemy lair nearby, otherwise how could they not find any trace of the enemy at such a close distance.

"Lord Alpha, there are no signs nearby. There is only a small hill less than a hundred meters high. There is no place to hide anyone!" Phyllis is a conscientious secretary who is already familiar with the surrounding map.

"Phyllis, send Monkey's special forces team to scout here." Alpha pointed to the small hill. Monkey was the only mobile team left by Alpha, and the rest were heavy armored cavalry.

As soon as Monkey led his troops away from the main force, the enemy's vanguard appeared in sight.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

"Lord Papua, according to the scouts' report, the enemy is probably the Alpha Mercenary Group known as the Foxes of the Prairie. They have a strength of about 700 people. Should we attack?" A bandit knight looked at the line of heavy cavalry with spears, a trace of worry on his face.

"The enemy is divided into three groups. We should concentrate our forces to defeat their central army. Then we can decide the outcome in one battle." Papua's gaze fell on the front, with confidence in his eyes.

"But the enemy has heavy cavalry and heavy chariots. If we attack head-on, the losses will be huge, boss." The bandit knight was a little hesitant. Now Alpha's crossbow chariot had not appeared yet, otherwise they would definitely not dare to move.

"They have black-armored knights, so why don't we have any?" Papua smiled, "Pass the order down, let the black-armored knights take the lead and try to forcefully capture the enemy's center."

Papua was afraid of the black-armored knights and heavy-armored chariots of the Alpha Mercenaries. In order to avoid losses, he decided to let his black-armored knights take the lead and use sneak attacks to catch them off guard.

In order to unite the various tribes on the grassland, Philta also generously dispersed the black armor knights to various tribes. However, the previous rebellion of the black armor knights made Philta puzzled, so he could only take off the black armor knights' equipment and turn them into ordinary knights, and equip the black armor to the ordinary knights of the loyal subjects. Although this maintained loyalty, the combat effectiveness could not be compared with the real black armor.

"Where are the 300 cavalrymen sent by the headquarters?" The purpose of Papua's coming out this time was to welcome these 300 cavalrymen, so he did not dare to slack off at all.

"Sir, they should be nearby. Could they have lost their way?" The adjutant also found it incredible. This place was only a hundred kilometers away from the headquarters, and it would take two or three hours to get there at a fast speed. How could they have lost their way?

"Charge!" With a roar, Papua led the charge.

"Lord Alpha, they also have black-armored knights." Fattam was now controlling the crossbow chariot. He discovered the enemy's black-armored knights at the first sight and was a little panicked.

"Lord Alpha, they are not real Black Armor Knights. They are just ordinary knights wearing black armor. There is no need to worry." Gunn was the leader of the Black Armor Knights this time and he was the first to notice something was wrong.

The Black Armored Knights are more than just a set of equipment, they also have inhuman training and a fearless spirit. The black armor of these enemies has none of that.

Besides the black armor, the enemy also replaced the black dragon spear, which represented the attack power, with an ordinary spear. I'm afraid that they were too weak to operate it. In this regard, Alpha did a good job, using heavy armored cavalry instead of black armored knights. The only thing missing was momentum.

"Three hundred steps, attack with the crossbow chariots." Before he finished speaking, the spearmen in the front row immediately dispersed to both sides, revealing twenty powerful crossbow chariots behind them. The crossbows flashing with the cold light of death were like the scythe of the god of death.

"Shoot." With a roar, more than sixty crossbows from one cart fired at the same time.

"It's a powerful crossbow." Even the knights in black armor could not withstand the power and lethality of the devil's powerful crossbow. The black-armored knights in the front row were shot away in an instant, and the knights behind him were also knocked off their horses. Falling to the ground on the battlefield meant death.

"Kill, the crossbow is slow to reload, we will win if we kill them." Papua, who was charging at the front line, was not hurt at all. However, facing the deadly weapon, this time Papua began to slowly withdraw from the first team on the front line.

Papua was right. The second round of crossbows was fired at 100 steps, and the two rounds of shooting killed nearly 200 bandit knights. Although it had little impact on the enemy's total strength, it severely hit the enemy's morale and charge speed.

"The crossbow chariots retreat, the heavy armor chariots hold on, the heavy armor knights move forward, and the spearmen form a formation." As the orders were given, the five-meter-long black spears were densely packed like a black forest. If the enemy wanted to break into this iron formation, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.

"Kill." Faced with spears and chariots, the bandit knights had no way to retreat and could only crowd forward.

"Phyllis, order the cavalry on both wings to harass and attack. Do not approach the center army without orders." Alpha was afraid that Rowling and Makina would charge into the center regardless of casualties because of him, which would result in heavy losses.

On the battlefield, there are at least two enemies stuck on each spear. It is as tragic as a string of gourds. There is no mercy, only death. Either you kill the enemy or you are killed by the enemy.

The heavily armored knights abandoned their lances and took up their long swords, brandishing them wildly and fighting bloodily. The swords, spears, swords and halberds chopped and killed endlessly, and blood flowed like a river.

At this time, the Alpha Mercenary Group was fighting fiercely with a large group of enemy troops. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were gradually in danger. Alpha regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have listened to Rowling's advice, and perhaps the situation would not have been like this.

However, it is too late to regret. Only by fighting with all your strength and refusing to surrender can you turn the tide of the war and win.

"Lord Alpha, Captain Monkey is back." Phyllis came to report in full armor, which shows how fierce the battle was.

"Let him come over."
