I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 116: Military Transit Station

"Lord Alpha, in this operation, we have a total of 48 deaths, 26 serious injuries, and negligible minor injuries. We captured 480 enemies and 126 minor injuries. We captured a total of 361 miners, 414 intact war horses, 262 damaged war horses, 32 sets of black armor, and countless ordinary equipment." Rowling briefly reported on the battle damage of this operation. The seriously injured enemies had been dealt with by her, which was of course expected. The other personnel were able to recover, which was Alpha's special request.

"Okay, the next task focus is to build the city and capture the slave transit station." Alpha emphasized.

"Rowling, you recruit 100 miners as supplementary knights and leave them as city guards. The Fattam and Mousniu heavy cavalry will be left as city guards. If there is a problem with insufficient manpower, let the miners take up arms to fight the enemy. Doro will be responsible for city construction, mainly the construction of city walls. Everyone is ready to go at any time." After Alpha gave instructions to everyone, he called Goodnai.

"Captain Goodnight, can I trust you? Or can you trust me?" Suddenly, Alpha asked a question out of the blue.

"Lord Alpha, what do you mean?" Goodnai was a smart man and did not dare to answer this question rashly.

"I'm going to attack the transit station." Alpha conveyed this news to outsiders for the first time.

"Lord Alpha wants to use us to sneak into the battlefield and capture the transit station?" Goodnai immediately understood what Alpha meant.

"That's right. I have blocked all your news from the outside. As long as you come up with a good excuse, you can go back safely. Then we will work together inside and outside, and it is very likely that we can take over the transit station." This was Alpha's plan.

"Lord Alpha, if we implement the strategy of internal and external cooperation now, we will definitely be able to take down the transit station, but later, the major bandit groups will definitely encircle and suppress us. I wonder if Lord Alpha has thought about how to deal with it?" Goodnight expressed his concerns. Although attacking the transit station is easy, there will definitely be troubles afterwards.

"What do you mean by taking over the transfer station 100%?" Alpha vaguely felt that there might be something else fishy going on.

"It's winter now, and there aren't actually many troops stationed at the transit station. There are basically only a few people who have been punished to do hard labor, and there are no goods moving around. Logically speaking, there will only be a thousand people stationed at the transit station. Five hundred people have been sent to the mining area here, and there will be at most another five hundred people left. If we work together from inside and outside, they won't be able to stop us." Goodnai explained.

"That is to say, there are a large number of slaves and supplies at the transit station." The two things Alpha needed most now were actually in there.

"It seems that there are a large number of slaves and supplies in the transit station." Surprisingly, the two things Alpha needed were there.

"That's right. We have stockpiled supplies for the entire winter. However, whoever dares to touch those things will become the enemy of the entire grassland." Goodnai never dared to have any improper thoughts.

"What does the entire grassland mean? Aren't those supplies just for the grassland bandits?" Alpha narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Alpha, do you think these bandits are ordinary bandits? In fact, many of them are commanded by nobles behind the scenes. Only one in ten of them are real bandit organizations. This is the real reason why bandit organizations are rampant but no one fights them." Goodnai ruthlessly tore off the nobles' fig leaf.

"I see. No wonder the nobles are not keen on fighting bandits. It turns out these are all their own industries. So Balor is targeting all those who want to integrate the grassland." Alpha finally understood why the nobles implemented the rationing system.

"Lord Alpha, what were you talking about just now?" Seeing Alpha talking to himself, Goodnai asked softly.

"It's okay. As for the follow-up issues you mentioned, I plan to build a city here. There are enough lime mines here. After the city is built, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can use it as a base to eradicate all the bandit groups around and restore clarity and tranquility to the grassland. Slavery should disappear from this grassland." Alpha was looking forward to a bright future for Goodnai.

"Alpha, are you serious? Are you really going to build a city here?" Goodnay couldn't believe it.

"Come with me and see the new materials we have for building the city." Alpha had to convince Goodney to willingly give everything for the cause of liberation, just as Moslin had fooled Alpha. However, Alpha had actual actions, while Moslin only had fantasies.

"Look, this is a new material extracted from those slags. Look at how hard it is, it's in no way inferior to armor. If it's one meter thick, what kind of person do you think can capture this city?" Alpha brought Goodnai to the experimental site, and looking at the experimental concrete wall, Alpha explained excitedly.

"What is this?" But the cement broke into pieces when Goodnight squeezed it.

"The cement needs to dry. You just piled it there, and it's not dry yet." Alpha explained calmly.

"Lord Alpha, we added hay and hemp ropes into the cement, and it actually increased the strength of the cement by 30%." Betas kept hitting the dry cement with a sledgehammer, and the cement wall with the added materials became more solid and firm.

"Yes, we can add steel bars later to achieve better results." Isn't this reinforced concrete? However, the current steel production is extremely low, so this goal may not be easy to achieve.

"Let me try." Looking at the workers sweating, Goodnight also wanted to try.

"It's okay, let our Captain Goodnight try it." Alpha signaled that everything was fine.

"Lord Alpha, is it true that we can use these things to build the city wall?" Goodnai asked excitedly while wiping the sweat off his face and examining the cement fragments.

"Of course. You see, these materials are everywhere in the mountains. As long as there are people, I can surround this land with a wall. Then who can capture our city will be able to escape." Alpha pointed to the building materials all over the mountains and showed everyone a beautiful vision of the future.

"As long as there are city walls to protect them, the bandits can only sigh in despair." Without gunpowder and siege equipment, it would be extremely difficult for bandits to attack a city. This is also an important reason why cities can coexist peacefully with bandits.

However, the city belongs to the nobles, while outside the city is the world of bandits, and there is no place for ordinary people.

"Lord Alpha, I believe you can create a peaceful and ideal new home for us." Goodnight's eyes were firm and his tone was sincere. "I am willing to be your most loyal knight and follow you to fight for the new world!"

"Okay." Alpha didn't let Gudnai continue. "Go and select a hundred people and prepare to return to the transfer station. The army will set out later. We want to take back everything that belongs to us. The grassland should belong to its own people."

"Lord Alpha." Betas was about to say something, but was stopped by Phyllis.

"Monkey, Lilia, each of you select fifty people. Monkey will follow Gudnay into the enemy camp, and Lilia will eliminate all spies along the way. We have to race against time now." Alpha made a quick decision, "Monkey, after you enter the base, your biggest task is to open the city wall for me."

The people around looked at each other, wondering why Alpha made such arrangements.

"Lord Alpha, don't you believe in Captain Goodnight?" Seeing that there was no one around, Phyllis finally asked what was in her mind.

"Do you believe Goodnight?" Alpha looked at Phyllis.

"I don't know." Phyllis answered honestly.

"I don't know either." Alpha's eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance. "So I won't give them time to think. Even if Goodney pretends to surrender, it won't cause me much loss."

"Lord Alpha, we also want to attack with you." Mousniu and Fattam suddenly broke into the meeting room.

"If you want to attack with us, you can only go there as ordinary soldiers. The heavy cavalry can't keep up with our speed." Alpha's pursuit in this operation is speed, and he must not let the heavy cavalry like Tie fall behind.

"What about Gunn's Black Armored Army? They are also heavily armored cavalry, but aren't they fast?" Tie Niu complained.

"They abandoned their heavy armor, and only the breastplate was black armor. The rest were ordinary equipment. Even their war horses were replaced with faster ones." Alpha explained loudly.

"We can also take off our armor and go in together." In order to join the battle, Mousniu even took off his heavy armor.

"Okay, Mousniu goes with you, and Fattam stays." Alpha also knew that it was a bit of a waste to leave two battlefield killers behind.

"I want to go too." Fattam stubbornly objected to Alpha.

"Phyllis, Tieniu, you go out first." Alpha sternly asked everyone to go out and face Fattam alone.

"Fatam, why don't you even listen to me?" Alpha hugged Fatam in his arms and comforted him.

"Lord Alpha, I'm afraid that if I'm not by your side, I will never see you again." Fattam blushed and let Alpha's hands touch his body.

"Fatham, you just stay here and look after the house this time. This is our base camp now, nothing can happen. You can switch with Tieniu next time." Alpha certainly had his own selfish motives.

Under Alpha's rogue attack, Fattam finally surrendered, and left the meeting room with a red face and legs tucked together.

"Lord Alpha, you are amazing. You persisted for more than an hour." Phyllis walked in with a blushing face.

"What does the little girl know?" Alpha did not explain much.

"Why don't I understand?" Phyllis was silent for a moment as she recalled her tragic experiences in the past.

"It's okay, everything will be fine, you will meet someone you like." Alpha wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to say it.

"Does Lord Alpha despise me for being an impure woman?" Phyllis thought of her past and lowered her head in inferiority, blushing so much that she dared not look Alpha in the eye.

"How could that be? You are all pitiful. It was not your own will. You were forced to do it because you had no choice. How could I despise you?" There are too many tragic experiences in this era. In order to survive, it has become normal for women to sell their bodies. Phyllis has never given in. She is a strong girl and Alpha likes her very much.

"You are a strong girl, and I love you so much." Alpha couldn't help but touch that oriental face.

"Lord Alpha, Goodena has already set off. Should we follow him?" Rowling's voice suddenly came, interrupting their flirting.

"Let Gun come over. Come on, let's go together." Time is running out, and Alpha is ready to lead his troops.

"Phyllis, you stay here and coordinate various organizations for me so that our base can develop quickly and smoothly." Alpha discovered that Phyllis had strong administrative abilities and could perfectly coordinate the development of various aspects, increasing the efficiency of urban functions exponentially.

"Leave the base to me, Master Alpha. I will wait for your safe return."

……

"Guen, don't take off your heavy armor. Follow Goodnai and keep a distance of ten kilometers, neither too fast nor too slow." Alpha suddenly changed his mind.

"Lord Alpha, if you do this, the enemy will discover you, and then our raid will be meaningless." Rowling was puzzled. Even if Monkey and Lilia wiped out all the spies around, there was no guarantee that no one would slip through the net. The enemy would definitely be alert.

"That's right. I want them to see it so that they will let down their guard. With only fifty people, they might even send troops to wipe us out." Alpha's goal was to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, to lure the enemy out, so that he could capture the enemy base more easily.

"Guen, you carry the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and prepare enough arrows and ammunition. This time you must hold the front line independently. If the enemy attacks your unit, be sure to hold them back and wait for us to counterattack. Your unit can retreat, but cannot retreat to the bases on both sides. If the enemy gives up the attack, then your unit must hold on to the enemy." Alpha gave a death order.

"Yes, I will make sure to complete the mission." Gunn was responsible for these almost impossible tasks.

"Tie Niu, take your guards and join the Black Armored Dragon Riders."

"Lord Alpha, the enemy base needs berserkers like Mousse Bull more. Our unit can complete the mission alone." Gun rejected Alpha's kindness.

"Take care." Looking at the back of the Black-Armored Dragon Knight, Alpha knew that he must win this battle.

"Check your equipment and get ready to go." Alpha only had less than 300 cavalrymen left, but their morale was high and their fighting power was strong.

……

"Lord Alrea, there are enemies approaching us quickly, and the number of enemies is unknown." Suddenly, the soldiers' warnings sounded outside the tent, interrupting the originally quiet night.

Alrea decisively put on his armor, picked up a telescope and walked out of the tent. He saw a group of people holding torches appearing on the distant horizon in the dark night and attacking them.

"Report to the lord, the knights in front are the knights we sent out before, now led by Captain Goodnay. There is a group of knights chasing them from behind, but there are only about fifty people." After a while, the sentinel brought more detailed information.

"Only fifty people? That's impossible." Alrea muttered to himself in disbelief. "In that case, send a small group of soldiers to intercept them first, and let Gudnai stop and fight the enemy. Make sure they kill the enemy for me."

"Report to the lord, Goodnai's cavalry has abandoned their armor and weapons and is in scattered places. Many of them are without weapons. It looks like they are fleeing in defeat. If we try to stop them, it may cause..." Then, the news from the sentinel confirmed Alrea's guess.

"Let them in, and we'll deal with the pursuers later. Hehe, I won't let any of them go. The first one I'm going to try is Goodnai's daughter. That girl is twelve years old, right? So tender and beautiful." A satisfied and evil expression appeared on Alrea's face.

"Continue to scout and make sure the enemy has no follow-up support." Yarrea ordered cautiously, "Let the vanguard attack first and eat up this group of enemies."

"Report to the lord, no enemy was found within 20 kilometers behind the enemy. They should be alone and deep in the enemy territory." A sentry came to report. As the situation changed, Alrea, who could not see the victory in front of him, became excited.

"Send out your entire army and attack the enemy camp directly."
