I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Kill them!" After a brief panic, the bandits once again elected a new leader. However, this new leader obviously lacked prestige and was unable to command these arrogant and fierce bandits. As a result, the bandits could only watch the knights leave.

In fact, the main reason was that this group of knights disguised as bandits had only about a hundred people, half of whom had just been killed. Adding the previous casualties, there were less than fifty people at this time.

If they rely on their regular knights to hunt down the enemy, they will probably pay a heavy price. By then, the number of knights will be too small and they will be unable to control the local bandits, which will not be worth the loss.

After weighing the pros and cons, the new leader did not immediately order a pursuit, but instead gathered the remaining troops and waited for an opportunity to act.

The bandit leader looked at the knight going away, his eyes flashing with hatred and greed. He knew the consequences of the failure of this action, but he did not intend to give up easily.

The new leader thought about the current situation carefully and realized that he needed to make a new plan. The bandit leader began to examine his team.

The bandits were all greedy and cruel, but they all had their own strengths and skills. Some were good at fighting, some were good at planning, and some were good at stealth and sneak attacks. He began to think about how to integrate these people's strengths to form a powerful force.

The bandit leader decided not to confront the Knights directly, but to adopt a strategy of sneak attacks and assassinations. He ordered his men to disperse to various places to find the Knights' weaknesses and loopholes, and at the same time sent people to closely monitor the Knights' actions. The leader knew that the Knights would definitely return to the city, and this was their chance.

In the following time, the bandit group launched a intensive operation. They constantly harassed and attacked the Knights, making them exhausted. At the same time, the bandit group also sent out spies to gather intelligence on the Knights and understand their actions and weaknesses.

After careful planning, the bandit leader decided to set up an ambush on the road when the knights returned to the castle, waiting for the knights to take the bait.

"Lord Alpha, you are finally back. We were scared to death." Seeing everyone coming, Lina rushed directly into Alpha's arms.

"It's okay, we are safe now." Alpha touched Lina's head and comforted her.

"Is everyone okay?"

The key point is that Linda is fine, and everyone can put their worries aside.

"What should we do now?" Will came over. After experiencing so many dangerous experiences, Will also regarded the young knight in front of him as someone to discuss with.

"They didn't chase us. They are most likely waiting for us to go back and attack us on the way. So our focus now is not to go back, but to rest." Alpha analyzed the situation.

"Okay, then rest and heal first. I'll arrange for people to patrol the surroundings." Alpha was just guessing that Will would not fail to send people to investigate.

Hearing that they could take a break, everyone was finally able to relax and busy themselves with their own things, treating wounds, cleaning armor, and preparing dinner.

"Lord Alpha, your shoulder." Lina carefully removed the shoulder armor, revealing the scabbed wound inside.

In the final blow, fortunately Alpha killed the bandit in advance, otherwise, Alpha would probably have broken one of his arms.

However, Alpha's wound has now healed and formed scars, which is truly a miracle. It also only proves the power of the Vatican's healing magic.

"Lord Alpha, does it hurt?" Lina carefully cleaned Alpha's wound.

"It was very painful at that time, but it's much better now." Alpha picked up the hot soup brought by Ham and drank it in one gulp. In this world of ice and snow, he instantly felt much warmer.

"Lina, go check on Fattam. I need to take a rest." Alpha put away his armor, lay down on the carriage and began to rest.

……

"Lord Alpha, you're finally awake." Lina looked at Alpha who opened his eyes and immediately came over.

"How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?" Lina asked worriedly.

Alpha sat up and looked at the wound on his shoulder, which had almost healed.

"You're recovering well. You should be well again soon." Alpha nodded with a smile.

"That's good. Sister Fatham made fish soup for you. She said it would help heal your wounds. Would you like to drink some?" Lina asked, pointing at the figure warming himself by the campfire.

Alpha turned his head and looked at the sky outside the tent. "Fish soup... I remember there is a glacier nearby. We can go catch some fish and add them to the fish soup."

Lina jumped up immediately, “Okay, okay, I’ll go get the fishing rod!”

After a while, Lina came running over with a fishing rod and a bucket.

The two walked out of the tent, the cold wind whistled past, making people's faces hurt, but Lina didn't care at all, and looked at Alpha with excitement.

Alpha found a relatively flat place by the river, put down the bucket, and waved to Lina.

"Wait for me here, I'll go upstream to have a look." After saying that, Alpha walked upstream. After walking for a while, Alpha finally found a suitable position, put down the fishing rod, took out the bait that had been prepared long ago, hung it on the hook, and then threw the fishing rod into the river.

The water flow of the glacier was very slow, and the smell of the bait quickly attracted several fish. Alpha seized the opportunity and pulled hard, and a silver fish was caught. Alpha put the fish into the bucket, and soon he caught several fish. Lina lay on Alpha's legs, enjoying this brief silence.

"Let's go! We'll keep two, and you can deliver the rest to Will and the others." Alpha put his arm around Lina's waist and walked towards the camp.

"I'd better go there myself!" Fattam picked out two, and Alpha brought the rest to Will's tent.

The wind is howling outside and a snowstorm seems to be coming as night falls. I'm afraid it will be another sleepless night.

"Brother Alpha, why are you here?" Will made way for Alpha to sit in the middle.

"I caught some fish and brought them specially for you." Alpha's main purpose was to discuss when to leave. After all, the weather in the wild was unpredictable and difficult to survive.

"Thank you, brother Alpha. Now we have fish to eat. We are discussing when to leave and which road to leave. Let's sit down and discuss it together!" Alpha has gained Will's trust, so he is not shy about telling Alpha about these things.

“We now have two routes that can quickly get us to Torres. One is the avenue we fought our way out of, and I’m afraid those bandits are waiting for us.

The other way is to go straight along the stream. This road is flat and has a panoramic view. There is no need to worry about sneak attacks or ambushes, but the detour is very long and horses cannot pass through many places. "Will was discussing that one road was safe, but the journey was long, and the other road was short, but very dangerous. There was no choice at the moment.

"How many people do we have now? How many days can the food last?" Alpha was most worried about this question. Food is not only for people, but also for horses.

"There is enough food for the people. We now have a total of thirty-two people and forty-five war horses, but the fodder can only last for three days." Will explained the situation.

"Thirty-two people, minus three non-combatants, there are only twenty-nine left." Alpha thought.

"No, I am also a junior knight, and I can fight." Unexpectedly, Linda lifted the door curtain and walked in. Linda was wearing leather armor, and her beautiful figure was exposed, which made people imagine a lot.

"Okay, okay, then thirty people. The gap in strength between us and the bandits is too big, so we can't just fight head-on. Can we send people to the city to ask for support?" Alpha didn't want to take any risks, nor did he want to argue with Linda.

"Brother Alpha, actually when we rescued Linda, we had already sent people to request support, but there has been no news until now." When they stepped out of the castle, Will's Knights had suffered heavy losses and had already sent people to ask for help.

"Report." A sudden voice interrupted everyone's discussion.

"What's the matter?" Will asked the spy in front of him.

"I was following a bandit and seemed to have discovered their lair, which was in a valley about ten kilometers away from us. Their defense was loose and there weren't many people. The main force might not have gone back yet." The spy blended directly into the group and had almost explored the bandits' stronghold.

Everyone looked at Will quietly, waiting for Will's choice.

"How many thieves are there?" Will continued to ask.

"It looks like there are maybe around 150 of them. They have a lot of men but they have no armor, their weapons are tattered, and they don't even have horses," the spy said confidently.

"Is it possible that there is an ambush in the valley?" Will speculated.

"I have checked several valleys around here and there are no ambushes. We can use a surprise attack and kill them directly while they are not prepared."

Will nodded. He had already made a decision in his mind, but for a matter of life and death like this, Will still needed to think carefully about it.

"Prepare dinner, and we'll go over after that." Will left ten people to protect Miss Linda, and Alpha brought Fattam to support Will.

"Wait, leave no one alive." Will repeated the order.

Everyone drew their swords and began to move slowly towards the bandits' mountain gate.

In order to carry out the operation covertly, everyone abandoned their war horses and chose to advance on foot, leaving only five people on war horses to patrol and block the road, not allowing anyone to leave.

However, the impact of the snowstorm made the bandit's lair, which was already loose, even more loose, and there were few sentries left to guard their posts.

A dozen people easily touched the bottom of the bandits' city wall. It was called a city wall, but in fact it was just a railing made of thick wood inserted into the ground. The fence was more than three meters high, and it was blocked by ice and snow, so it was difficult to climb up.

Through the gaps, everyone could see that the bandits in the camp were all huddled in their houses, warming themselves by the fire, and no one was willing to come out to inspect.

"Who is it?" Suddenly a bandit seemed to have heard something and immediately turned around to look outside.

"Hey, I clearly saw a figure just now, why is there nothing here now?" the bandit asked in a suspicious tone.

Everyone lay at the foot of the city wall, not daring to breathe.

"Did you hear it wrong, or did you play too much last night? I heard that you played with that girl eight times last night, and now you are hallucinating!" The companion laughed.

"What's eight times? I could have sex with that bitch twelve times a night."

"It's just bragging. It's not just one time for CJ to go there."

"You don't believe me, right? I'll go get one for you to see." The blizzard cooled the temperature, which reduced the bandits' desires. But for the sake of face, the bandits still walked out.

"Who?" The robber had no time to react, his mouth was covered and his neck was cut. The three robbers inside had not yet raised the alarm, but their heads were already separated.

"Alpha, you lead the first team to clean up from the left, and I will lead the second team to clean up from the right. Kill them all without mercy, and don't leave a single thief behind." Due to a shortage of manpower, there were no extra personnel to guard the prisoners.

Soon, the whole camp was in chaos. Faced with unknown attacks, most of the bandits were killed while still lying in the arms of women.

It took nearly an hour to clear out the bandits' camp, leaving only about thirty women waiting to be dealt with.

"Captain Will, what should we do with these people?" Faced with the innocent girl, it is not right to kill her, nor is it right to leave her alone. Alpha has no experience at all.

“Our mission is to protect the people, but now we don’t know which bandits suddenly attacked here, trapping these innocent girls in the den of thieves.

Now that we have eliminated this group of bandits, we naturally have to rescue these girls and bring them back to Torres City to wait for their relatives to take them back.

If no one claims them for the time being, sending them to the government-run women's shelter can be considered a safe place for them. "Will looked at these helpless girls and said softly. But it might be difficult to arrange how to take them away.

"Captain Will, there is a cellar in the back, please come and take a look." The knight outside seemed to have discovered something again.

"Let them gather all the supplies and let them take care of themselves." These women are basically poor people, and collecting supplies is a very simple task for them.

Soon the warehouse was filled with clothes, quilts and food, and everyone started to make a fire and cook. After all, the bandits would not feed the women enough, and how much they could eat depended on how much was left over.

"It's here, Captain Will." The guard pointed to the cave.

Everyone discovered that there were hundreds of young women imprisoned in the bandits' backyard. These women were locked up in a narrow, dark dungeon. Their clothes were tattered, their bodies were covered with scars, and their faces were filled with fear and anxiety.

This time it was Will's turn to have a headache. There were more than thirty cases that he hadn't dealt with just now, and now there were more than a hundred.

"Let them out first and settle them down." Will could only take things one step at a time.

Hundreds of women were rescued from the cellar, and some people were arranged to help them wash and change clothes. They were taken to the woodshed to find their luggage and some clean clothes and quilts were distributed to them. Then, hot water was boiled and simple wound treatment was performed for these women. Finally, they gathered these women together and patiently listened to their experiences.

Some of the women described how they were attacked suddenly, which further confused Will and his team. They began to wonder if this was a premeditated attack and whether there were other forces that wanted to take over Torres City.

Will decided to return to Torres City as soon as possible to report the situation to the lord and request more personnel and resource support. Before he left, he asked the Alpha brothers for advice on how to deal with these women.

"Brother Alpha, what do you think we should do with these women now?" Everyone can talk big, but solving problems is not as simple as saying a few words.

"Let them organize their own men to arm themselves and protect themselves." Due to years of war in the West, the death rate of men remained high, and women became the backbone of the family. These women were not as weak as Eastern women. If they were organized, they were at least not much worse than those mob of bandits.

"That's the only way we can do it," Will agreed. Due to a shortage of manpower, they were unable to send more soldiers to protect these women, so they could only rely on themselves.
