I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Captain Rowling! The enemy is only ten kilometers away from us, and there are currently estimated to be around three hundred and fifty of them." Doro sent out the alarm.

"Everyone, enter the ambush area immediately. Let's give the enemy an unexpected 'big gift package'." Rowling is not a knight in the traditional sense. His methods are even more brutal than Alpha's.

There are more than 400 miners and 200 knights in the mining area, which is an absolute advantage in numbers. However, these miners have been starving for years, and now they just have enough food; in addition, the mining area is short of resources, most people lack weapons and equipment, and there are less than 200 people who can use the enemy's weapons, so the actual combat power is almost negligible.

Even so, Rowling did not intend to let the miners sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Rowling knew that only after going through the baptism of war could these people survive.

"Captain Rowling! Lord Alpha has sent a message asking us to try our best to delay the enemy. They have already defeated the enemy's main force and are now surrounding us." Lislia received intelligence about the special forces from Monkey and immediately reported to Rowling.

"Very good, I understand." Rowling's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sneer. Since Lord Alpha's main force was safe and sound, the next thing to consider was how to set a trap for the enemy.

"Lislia ordered Betas, Tarot and Quint's troops to abandon the first plan and carry out the mission according to the second plan. We have to close the door and fight the dog." After receiving the news that Alpha was fine and had successfully surrounded them, Rowling no longer had to consider retreating to provide support.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Lislia knew the second plan, which was not to set up layers of defense outside the mining area, but to let the robbers enter the mining area directly, and only use traps and bows and arrows to fight the robbers. Although this would reduce the pressure on the Knights, it would put the miners in a situation where they would be killed first. I really don't know how many people would die.

However, what does the life and death of the miners have to do with Lislia? Rowling cheated people, but he didn't cheat his own people. It would be better if his friends died instead of his own.

"Fight the bandits according to the plan!" With this order, the battle to defend the mine officially began.

"Brothers, follow me. As long as we take back the mining area, we will be meritorious officials, and the beast transformation potion will be within our reach." A bandit captain roared, boosting the morale of this mob.

"Shoot!" Looking at the bandit cavalry rushing over, Rowling gave a decisive order, and then sharp arrows representing death pierced through the barrier of air and flesh.

Arrows rained down, leaving a trail of corpses on the ground. The broken corpses were ruthlessly trampled by the horses, and finally rushed to the gate of the mining area. However, the bandit cavalry faced a two-meter-high slag pile, and the horses could no longer help them jump up, so they had no choice but to abandon the horses and climb up on foot.

"Charge! Take over the mine and you will get women, money, potions, everything!" The temptation of the beast potion was enough to turn the lustful bandit cavalry into infantry. They expended tremendous energy to climb over the slag pile and roll down directly from the two-meter-high slag.

"Oh my god, how could there be a deep pit here?" However, what caught everyone's eyes was a pit nearly ten feet deep, with sharp gravel all over the bottom of the pit. Before everyone could react, they were pushed forward by the people behind them, and at least fifty people fell into the deep pit and died without a sound.

"Hurry up and fill up this pit!" The leader of the bandits was helpless and could only order his men to fill up the pit, but they became sitting ducks for the enemy. As a result of this delay, at least hundreds of people were shot and fell to the ground when they rushed into the mine gate, which was a heavy loss of life.

"Charge! Take back the mining area and go home to sleep with our women!" The bandits, with their combat potential bursting out, rushed into the mining area. The traps set up in advance by the miners caused heavy losses to the bandit knights.

The bandits were very powerful, which put great pressure on the miners and knights. The miners fought bravely, but they were soon in danger due to insufficient weapons and equipment. The knights also suffered heavy losses in the fight against the bandits, but they did not give up, believing that they could win as long as they persisted.

The fierce battle lasted for hours, but the bandits were finally defeated. The miners and knights paid a heavy price, but the defeat of the enemy made it all worth it.

"Another two hundred bandit knights are coming. It seems that they are not retreated from the front battlefield." Doro sent an alarm, which made Rowling realize that the situation was not good.

"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to meet the enemy." In fact, Rowling had already planned to evacuate the mining area. She did not want to see all 200 of her own people die here.

"The Alpha Heavy Cavalry Regiment is only two kilometers away from us." At the same time, Doro sent the news, which greatly boosted Rowling's spirits.

"Prepare for battle and defeat this cavalry." Two kilometers is a blink of an eye for cavalry, even heavily armored cavalry is no exception.

"Kill." The bandit cavalry launched a high-speed charge, seemingly not noticing the heavy armored cavalry behind them, or simply not taking them seriously. After all, this corps had only fifty people.

"Shoot." Rowling used the terrain advantage to block the attack with all his might, but facing the attack of two hundred cavalrymen, the trap had been destroyed and there was no time to repair it. He could only rely on manpower to block the gap.

Of course, these couldn't be Rowling's own cavalry. Now the miners had also obtained the enemy's weapons and equipment, and at least they were able to fight.

"Captain Goodnay, a group of cavalry appeared in the rear, and they seem to be heading for the mining area. Should we continue the attack?" A bandit knight came running to report breathlessly.

"Don't worry, we still have 300 main cavalry in the rear. We must take over the mining area, otherwise the leader will not let us off easily. It's all because of that reckless man Papua, who actually lost the mine." Goodnai did not stop and rushed directly into the mining area.

As soon as the bandit knights rushed into the mining area, Alpha's vanguard, led by Gunn, the black-armored dragon riders, also stopped one kilometer away from the mining area. This was because Gunn had also discovered the enemy's 300 main cavalry regiments.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has added another 300 cavalrymen, and the total strength has reached 500. The cavalry that had previously fled was defeated by Rowling, but the losses were also not small." The monkey sent the key information, and Alpha frowned, obviously not expecting that the enemy would have such a large force.

This time Alpha brought three hundred cavalrymen, including two hundred heavy armored cavalrymen and one hundred fast cavalrymen. The remaining wounded were left to Makino's care.

"Fatam, Tieniu, you lead the heavy cavalry to besiege the enemy according to the plan. Don't worry about the ones who slip through the net." It is basically impossible for two hundred people to surround the enemy. The rest depends on Alpha's one hundred mobile troops.

"Lord Alpha, Rowling's troops request to break out." Suddenly the monkey sent information.

"Allow permission to break out, and order Gun's troops to provide support." Alpha did not attach importance to the value of the mining area, the key was to value the personnel.

"Most of the enemies have entered the mining area, and there are two hundred cavalrymen on guard outside." Lilia sent the information.

"Okay, let's take down these enemies, let Rowling's troops break through and cooperate with the heavy cavalry to defeat the enemy, and I will personally watch the enemies outside." Alpha had already regarded the knights who rushed into the mine as dead. For cavalry, without the distance and space for sprinting, they were no different from infantry.

"Receive the order." Everyone followed the procedure and took their positions.

"Captain Goodnay, the ones besieging us are heavy armored cavalry. We can't stop them at all. The rear has collapsed." The one hundred cavalrymen guarding the mine gate were defeated by Alpha's heavy armored cavalry in one encounter.

"Damn it, who is using heavy cavalry on the grassland to break out?" Captain Goodnai had no choice. There were people blocking the way in front and the rear was defeated. The situation was very critical.

"Kill." Just as Goodnay gave the order to break out, Rowling's troops immediately dispatched troops to chase after them.

Under the pincer attack from both sides, the bandit cavalry that had entered the mining area collapsed instantly and fled in all directions.

Seeing this prospect, the bandit knights on the periphery actually tried to break through the siege to rescue the gang. However, Alpha did not rescue them, but followed the plan and prepared to counter-encircle the enemy.

"Tie Niu, you block the exit. Gun and I will cooperate with Lord Alpha to attack the enemy in the rear." Fattam knew what Alpha meant. The mine gate was only twenty meters away, and Tie Niu's Knights were able to easily block it.

"Okay, leave this to me." Mousniu took the task without any hesitation.

"Gunn, you hold off the enemy, and I will go over there and compress the enemy's space from the rear." Fattam gave the order decisively.

"Captain Fattam, leave the task of infiltrating the enemy to us, and you stay behind to block the enemy." Inspired by Fattam's courage, Gunn actually began to think about the battle plan instead of just following orders.

"Follow me and kill." Gunn, who had not experienced the passion of battle for a long time, rekindled his fighting spirit in his old age.

In the mine, Musniu led the heavy armored cavalry to guard the high ground. Their shields were as solid as a wall, forming a solid wall to resist the attacks of the robbers. They fought bravely, brandished their weapons fearlessly, and fought a desperate battle with the robbers. The robbers became more and more ferocious, and their attacks became more and more fierce. Musniu and others did not show any weakness. They resisted tenaciously and defended the gate of the mine. No matter how the enemy attacked, the gate remained motionless.

On the other side, Fatam and Gun led the heavy cavalry in a fierce battle on the grassland. They were like a steel torrent, marching forward bravely and invincible. The bandits were squeezed into a desperate situation.

Outside the mine, Lilia led the archers to shoot continuously. Their precise archery skills made the robbers fall to the ground and unable to move forward.

After a fierce battle, Alpha successfully defeated the robbers and secured the safety of the mine. Captain Goodnight and his bandit group were completely annihilated, and all the robbers were captured.

"Surrender and you won't be killed." Faced with absolute advantage, Alpha knew that all struggles were in vain and shouted loudly.

The bandit knights who had lost their fighting spirit surrendered one after another, and those who resisted were immediately executed.

"Rowling, clean up the situation. Mousniu and Gunn, defend the area around the mine. Lilia, guard the three kilometers around. Monkey Fattam will go after Makino in the rear and have him converge on the mine as soon as possible. Phyllis, find the enemy leader for me. I'm going to interrogate this bandit leader now." Alpha gave the order decisively. After taking care of the defense of the mine, he began to interrogate the prisoners.

"Are you their leader, Goodnight?"

Captain Goodnight stared at Alpha blankly, as if he was thinking deeply about something. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I know our action is doomed to fail, but I still want to give it a try. After all, for slaves like us, survival is the most precious thing."

"Slave?" Alpha was shocked. "You mean, you are a slave?"

Captain Goodnight nodded and said, "Yes, we are the oppressed slaves of this land. We have no freedom at all."

"How is this possible? Since you want to rob the mine, you must have made all the preparations. How could they be slaves?" Alpha was a little surprised. Don't these bandit cavalrymen have any personal freedom? Why would they work for those people?

"Oh, it's hard to describe it in a few words." Captain Goodnight sighed, "We originally lived in a small village and led a peaceful life. One day, a strange army suddenly broke in, occupied our hometown, and turned all of us into slaves. We were forced to participate in various heavy physical labors, and were often mercilessly whipped and insulted by the slave owners. Even our fellow slaves would fight for a little leftovers."

"Then why did you come to this mine? Why did you want to die for those slave owners?"

"We slaves have nothing and can only find ways to survive on our own. Only by taking over the mining area can we survive and let our families survive." Captain Goodnai looked helpless. He had no choice as his family was in the hands of the other party and was being held hostage.

"We have failed now, and everything is gone. For us slaves, it seems that there is no future at all. There is no hope in this world anymore." Captain Goodnight was disheartened. Failure meant death, not only for himself but also for his family.

"The only ones who can help you now are you yourselves. If you want to gain your freedom, you must stand up and fight for it yourself." Facing this group of robbers or slaves, Alpha seemed to have some ideas.

On this grassland, in order to survive, it is no longer possible to distinguish who is a good person and who is a bad person. Perhaps there are no such things as good people, and survival is the only motivation. If you want to make a radical change, you must have a strong and stable system to restrain them, and the first thing is military force.

"There is only one way for you to go - take up your weapons to resist, drive away those bandits, and take back everything you have."

Captain Goodnight was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say, Lord Alpha? Are you saying that you are willing to help our slaves gain freedom?" He reacted immediately.

"No, I only have a small team. I can't rescue you and set you free. You have to stand up on your own. We can give you help and guidance. But before that, we need to know more about this mine." Alpha said. After all, Alpha is not a savior, and he can't stay here forever.

Captain Goodnight nodded and said, "I believe you. We slaves live a life worse than death every day. If there is any chance to gain freedom, we will try it without hesitation. However, we are just ordinary slaves and do not have many combat skills and weapons and equipment." Goodnight had no capital to negotiate. Even if Alpha lied, he could only persevere for survival.

"It's okay. We will provide you with support, weapons and tactical guidance. Our goal is not only to recapture this area, but also to completely defeat the slave system and allow all slaves to be free." Alpha said. Of course, this is just Alpha's thought, and only God knows whether it can be done.

"Great! Thank you, Alpha." Captain Goodnight said excitedly. As long as he survived, there was hope. He knew that he might have hope this time, or he might just be transformed from one slave owner to another. But as long as he and his family survived, what did it matter?

So, Alpha and Captain Goodnight began to work closely together. They collected more intelligence about this place and made a detailed battle plan.

With the support of Alpha and his team, Captain Goodnight led an uprising army of slaves and launched a fierce attack on the grassland.

Although the enemy was numerous, the rebels marched forward bravely and did not fear sacrifice, and finally succeeded in seizing control of the grassland. Captain Goodnight also became the leader and hero of the uprising and was remembered by people.

Of course, this will all happen decades later. Right now, the issue at hand is the safety of the mines and the resettlement of these slave cavalrymen.
