I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 17 Weird Castle
"Sir Knight Alpha, I am willing to follow in your footsteps, into the arms of God, and bathe in the glory of God." Alpha's answer moved Bruce deeply. He felt a warm current surge in his heart, which made them step from darkness into light.
"You all have your own families and concerns, and I have my own mission, so let's say goodbye." Alpha himself was also very confused. Where was the future? He had no idea.
Moreover, taking so many people on the road requires money for food, drink, and shelter, but he has no source of income.
"Lord Alpha, where are you going? Once we have arranged our family, we will follow in your footsteps." Bruce continued to ask.
Alpha did not tell Bruce where to go next, because he did not know where to go. Bruce wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Saint Manni.
Alpha took Lina and the others on their journey again, intending to find out the origins of these bandits. After all, he couldn't just turn a blind eye to seeing these villagers being brutally killed.
After Alpha left, Bruce and Manny started talking.
"Lady Saint, why don't you let me inquire about the whereabouts of Lord Alpha Knight?" Bruce asked unwillingly.
As a warrior, Bruce must either become a powerful knight or assist a powerful knight. Only in this way can he achieve success, obtain a title, and enjoy a peaceful old age.
Manny shook her head and said, "Alpha Knight is different from the previous Knight of Light. I'm afraid he will not be tolerated by the stubborn and rigid Church. But Alpha is the leader of the Knights, so he is most likely sent out by the Church. To the west is the Kingdom of Fatalia.
The relationship between the Fatalia Empire and the Church has been bad in recent years. I heard that the Ninth Knights of Light of the Church are no longer under the control of the Church. I am afraid that the leader of the Alpha Knights is going to deal with the Ninth Knights. "Manny judged the general truth from the most basic information.
Bruce roared angrily: "Wouldn't that be sending Lord Alpha to his death?"
Manny sighed, “This is the Vatican’s method. They will not show mercy to people with different ideas, even if they are their own people.
Alpha is a true knight and will not flee from the battlefield. Let Alpha go. If he fails, it will be considered as eliminating dissidents. If he succeeds, the Holy See will take back the Knights of Light. No matter what the result is, the Holy See will not lose. "Manny thinks too highly of Alpha. Zhang Mo is just confused during this period. Maybe he will just leave and disappear after a while.
Manny continued to analyze: "The Ninth Knights of Light are stationed in the sinful city of Cross. I'm afraid the future of Alpha Knight is uncertain this time." She seemed to have seen Alpha's tragic fate.
Bruce, however, had already made up his mind: "I'm going to follow Alpha Knight."
Manny tactfully persuaded: "We now have a bright identity and can walk under the sun. We should have a different life."
Bruce misunderstood Manny's meaning and thought she wanted to persuade him to start a new business. He immediately became alert: "But all this was given by Lord Alpha."
Manny explained: "What I mean is, what is the advantage of our people? Is it just us? Now the village is almost destroyed, everything has disappeared, what can you follow?"
Bruce emphasized: "The strongest point of our Kentro family is that it produces powerful warriors."
Manny pointed out what Bruce didn't want to admit: "No, the strength of our Kentro family lies in the skills, which can quickly produce powerful warriors."
"We now have the skills to quickly train powerful warriors, the wealth left by our ancestors, and now we even have the identity to travel the world. We can definitely train a legion." Manny pointed out the future of the Kentro family.
The most important of these is the identity of traveling the world. Without this identity, the Kentro family would be nothing more than cheese walking in the sewer, and anyone who sees them would want to take a bite.
"I understand. We will focus on training a group of warriors, then find the enemy, and then go to support Alpha Knight." Bruce knew his mission.
"Yes, that's right. We want to restore the glory of our Kentro family." People with powerful strength will basically not be content with peace.
"Nars, help me gather all the tribesmen." Bruce is now the village chief and is responsible for all matters in the village.
"Bruce, six soldiers are gone." Some people had already left early because of fear of death.
"It's okay. Gather all those who haven't left. I have something important to announce, which concerns the future of our Kentro family." Bruce is now a village chief. He wants to lead his people to avenge the humiliation they once suffered.
After being reminded by Manny and learning about his own strengths, Bruce resolutely chose to lead his people out of the forest and into a bigger world.
When the tribesmen learned that they had to leave the forest and go out into the world, they were resistant because no one wanted to abandon the home where they had lived for generations.
Moreover, leading these untrained people into the world does not mean that they can succeed, and may even put them in greater danger.
Bruce had made up his mind. He didn't want to miss this opportunity, but he also didn't want to let these tribesmen who had just had a full meal become homeless.
When Bruce took out the certificate representing light, everyone chose to leave the homes where they had been hiding for generations and resolutely chose to join the knights led by Bruce.
……
The carriage was driving on an empty road. This road was not marked on the map, and no one knew where it was going. Lina couldn't help but ask, "Lord Alpha, where are we going now?"
"Keep going along the road until we find a place with people." Alpha finally repaired the damaged carriage. Although it looked a little ugly, at least it didn't leak air. They were heading northwest now. In the middle of winter, the leaky carriage was as sharp as a knife or an axe, making it impossible to hold on.
"Let me go in and warm up." Alpha got into the carriage and hugged Fattam's delicate body, feeling her warmth. Fattam glared at Zhang Mo, but still acquiesced to his behavior. Smelling Fattam's body fragrance, Alpha couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, and his body also reacted.
"Lord Alpha, what do you see ahead?" Lina's sudden shout interrupted Alpha's good deeds. Alpha had no choice but to touch Fattam's face gently and then walked out of the carriage.
Alpha looked in the direction of Lina's finger, and what came into view was a huge castle.
The castle is surprisingly large, with a length of 200 meters, a width of more than 100 meters, and a height of 50 meters. It is like a fortress. The outer wall of the castle is severely weathered, and the wall skin falls off from time to time, which is extremely scary. There is no light in the dark castle, which looks extremely weird. The open door is like the mouth of a giant beast, which makes people shudder.
Suddenly, the wind blew violently, and the snowstorm that had originally stopped started again, making people unable to help but pull up their sleeves.
"What should we do? It's getting dark, Lord Alpha." The coming of the blizzard caused the temperature around to drop sharply. No one could bear to sleep outdoors overnight in such weather.
"Go in and hide from the snow, but don't go too deep." Alpha looked around and there was not even a decent place to hide from the snow. He could only choose this not-so-safe place.
The blizzard was getting more and more violent, and Alpha had difficulty walking. His vision was getting more and more blurred, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the castle. The blizzard covered their footprints and merged the castle with the earth. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there was an entrance here.
Suddenly, a faint smell of blood drifted into his nose with the wind. Yes, it was the smell of blood! Along with the snowstorm came the smell of wolves. Alpha was terrified and carefully wiped out the traces left by the group, but he still couldn't get rid of the keen sense of smell of these beasts.
"How could this happen? Lord Alpha, didn't we already get rid of those wolves? Why are there still wolves out in this weather?" Lina nervously clenched the iron sword in her hand, listened attentively, and looked around, trying to find any trace of the wolves.
"Awoo~" That's right, it was the howling of wolves, becoming clearer and clearer, and getting closer and closer. Alpha could even see the wolf pack.
I didn't expect these beasts to have such a keen nose. I was so careful but they still found me. Alpha's heart was beating like a drum, but he remained calm. He thought to himself, "Since you have already found me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll just kill them all."
With a roar, Alpha raised his sword and swung it down. The iron sword broke through the wind, flashing with cold light, and rushed straight towards the wolf pack. After a burst of swords and sabers, the wolf pack was dead on the ground, leaving only the last one, gasping for breath. Alpha walked towards the dying wolf, raised his sword and slashed it, killing it with one sword.
"These are just wolf reconnaissance troops. The main force should be behind us. Let's hurry into the castle." The blizzard affected the speed of humans, but it had a greater impact on the wolves. Otherwise, the wild wolves would not run away knowing they could not win.
The carriage swayed into the castle, and suddenly there was a loud noise that was extremely abrupt in this silent environment.
"The castle's portcullis has fallen." Alpha raised the oil lamp and observed the situation behind.
"It seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time and has fallen into disrepair. Everything has been severely weathered." Alpha checked the rope of the hanging door. It broke when touched. Perhaps the vibration when the carriage entered just now caused the rope to finally fail.
"Lord Alpha, look, is that a ghost?" Lina pulled Zhang Mo's arm, looked through the gap in the suspended door, and looked at the pairs of flashing ghost lights outside. Fear spread in her heart.
"Don't worry, those are wolves. It's just the reflection of their eyes in the night." Alpha held Lina's little hand and comforted her. Because the carriage could no longer move backwards, he could only stop to rest.
The crowd lit a bonfire with the remains of the broken hanging door, and looking at the bright flames, they felt that they were finally safer.
"Fattam and Ham, make some broth to warm everyone up. Lina, you and Hanta prepare more firewood. I'll go scout the surroundings. Don't leave the area of fire." The castle was too weird, and Alpha had to emphasize it again.
……
In a cave not far from the castle, a group of knights gathered together. Their faces were covered with thick cotton cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cold light. One of them raised his hand, and the scene instantly fell silent.
"We just received news that our advance team was attacked by a wolf pack. According to the survivors, the castle was just three kilometers ahead of us, but now it is surrounded by wolves." This news caused people around to start whispering, and it was obvious that they felt a little uneasy.
"We can't let the operation fail." The leader said, waving his hand to quiet everyone down. "We now have two choices. One is to abandon this operation and wait for the next opportunity. The other is to send reinforcements to help our advance team complete the mission."
"We can't miss this opportunity!" a voice rang out.
"That's right! We have been preparing for this for so long, we can't give up just because of a little difficulty!" Others echoed.
"Moreover, the Lord of the Vampire Castle has already issued an order to eradicate them. Now his daughter has been abducted. If we return without success, we will definitely be blamed by the Lord."
"Okay!" The leader's tone was firm and decisive. "Then we will send reinforcements. This mission is very important and there can be no mistakes. I will personally lead the reinforcements to the castle. Everyone please be prepared and wait for our return."
The people around nodded, then stood up and left the cave. The leader looked at their departing backs, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He knew that this operation would be very dangerous, and how many people could return safely.
Under the moonlight, a group of dark knights rushed silently towards the castle. Screams and roars came one after another, and the reinforcements soon crossed a wide plain and arrived at the battlefield in front of the castle.
A fierce battle was going on here. The reinforcements saw the castle surrounded by wolves and the advance troops who were bravely resisting. They immediately quickened their pace, and the sound of horses' iron hooves drowned out the screams and roars as they rushed towards the castle.
The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the soldiers, but the wolves were not frightened and attacked more fiercely. The reinforcements joined the battle and fought bravely with the advance troops. The leader led the way, swinging his sword continuously, killing werewolves one after another. His face was expressionless, only his eyes flashed with determination.
The long swords gleamed in the moonlight, the iron hooves of the war horses kept ringing, and the soldiers waved their weapons and attacked the wolves. There was only determination and confidence on their faces, without fear or hesitation. They knew that only by uniting together could they defeat the enemy.
The battle lasted for a long time. Although the wolves were fierce, the reinforcements were even more powerful. The leader killed one werewolf after another, and his heroic performance inspired the soldiers to move forward bravely. In the end, the wolves were defeated, and the corpses piled up in front of the castle. The soldiers cheered and celebrated their victory.
"Lord Alpha, there seem to be fewer will-o'-the-wisps outside."
