I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Lina looked at the female guards in front of her, feeling a little worried. There were fifty of them in total, forming the second-line team. They had no armor or weapons, and could only use the weapons and equipment left by the bandits. The weapons were OK, mostly spears and axes, but the armor was almost seriously insufficient, and each person could only wear a few more sets of cotton clothes.

These women are relatively strong, strong, and capable of fighting, but they have not received formal training, so it is difficult for them to cooperate. Once they encounter a serious attack, they may become frightened birds, and the monkeys will scatter when the tree falls.

Will was giving these women a lecture, which was actually introducing the skills to survive. Lina was a little anxious, she knew that this battle was not easy, they would not only face bandits, but also unpredictable dangers.

In comparison, the remaining women seemed a little weak. They were even thinner and could not guarantee their fighting ability. Although they were also issued weapons, they were just a variety of weapons, including hoes, sickles, and even wooden sticks, and they could not guarantee that everyone would have one. These weapons were left by the bandits, and there were basically no protective gear, and at most cotton clothes were enough. It can only be said that it is better than nothing, and there is no guarantee of any fighting ability.

"Lord Alpha, can these women really protect themselves?" Lina asked worriedly.

"There's no other way. Do you want to stay and wait for rescue? Or do you want to fight your way out with us on your own?"

Alpha shook his head and said, "According to the intelligence, the bandits in the surrounding areas have recently shown signs of gathering here. It seems that a large bandit force is trying to integrate the bandits here.

If we don't leave here soon, we will be surrounded and it will be difficult to break out."

I'm afraid the more than one hundred women in the dungeon were there for the bandits to play with, otherwise they would not be managed separately.

"We can only take these women with us now, unless they stay." Alpha will not force these people to stay or leave, everything is voluntary. Of course, these women will not necessarily die if they stay, but the end is imaginable, those robbers will not treat these women as human beings at all.

The supplies here are extremely scarce now, and they can't support them to continue waiting for rescue here. There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the robbers' den, but not much food. Besides, it is still unknown when the rescue team will come, so they must leave here as soon as possible and find other ways out.

"If you want to do it for their own good, teach them some life-saving skills." Alpha looked at Lina pouting and couldn't help but touch her head. Will only arranged training for the fifty people, and the remaining seventy or eighty people could only fend for themselves.

"Okay, I understand." Lina had no choice but to introduce them some life-saving techniques.

"Lord Alpha, this is the fish soup that Fattam gave you." Ham brought the hot soup.

"Well, ask Fattam to pack up. We will set out around dawn." Although Will didn't say it explicitly, it looked like they wouldn't stay. The patrolling knights around had already killed several waves of scouts, and there was no telling if there were any that slipped through the net. Regardless, the enemy would rush over here.

"Lord Alpha, please say a few words to encourage everyone!" After seeing Ham off, Alpha was pulled by Lina to the women's guard.

"I know you are all innocent, but this world is dark and you have no choice. Either stay or come with us." No matter how many skills we teach you, they are not as important as a firm belief.

"Can't you stay and protect us? We can wait for rescue." Sure enough, there are people who have such naive ideas, and I'm afraid there are more than one.

"We are short of supplies and manpower, and there is no rescue at all." Alpha knew that Will and his team's mission was Miss Linda. Although he didn't want to admit it, Linda was more important than these women. And if they couldn't defend this place, these women could surrender, but they, the knights, would surely die, and it was impossible for them to stay.

"Then let's leave here. Can you keep us safe?"

"We are short of manpower, so we can only pry open the enemy's encirclement. The rest depends on you to fight your way out with your fists." Alpha had no way to guarantee the safety of these people.

"Then can we choose to stay?" Western women are still very open-minded. Instead of dying on the battlefield, it is better to stay here. As for chastity, it is not important.

"Are you willing to stay or leave?" Alpha couldn't drive away these women who didn't want to leave, so he could only choose to leave by himself.

"Lord Alpha, these two want to follow us." Suddenly, Lina trotted over with two thin women, but just with this action, the two were already out of breath and their physical condition was extremely poor.

"Why do you want to leave here?" Alpha didn't want to take the two people with him. Ham and the other two were enough now, and he was unwilling to take in two more burdens.

“Lord Alpha, we are not leaving here, we want to follow you and be your knight squires.

We once attended the Knight School, but we dropped out because we had no money to pay the tuition. Just give us ten days and we will recover our strength." A weak woman said with a determined look.

"How long have you been detained?" The two men's bodies were almost all bones, so it was probably not caused by a short period of time.

"We were detained for half a month. Because of our condition, they did not allow us to be taken out. We had nothing to eat and could only pick up some fallen food to survive." Even these women did not have food. Only those women who were entertained by others had food. If they could please others and show off themselves, they could eat their fill.

If a woman is ugly or unwilling to serve a man, she will be punished by being deprived of food until she dies or becomes submissive. This is also a form of slavery and differentiated management, which is why many women still choose to stay.

The world outside is a chaotic place, and people with stutters have a hard time. Those with good looks can sell their bodies to rich people to make a living, but those without good looks can only sell their bodies themselves. They have no control over their own destiny wherever they are.

"Go and eat something first! Remember to drink the soup first. We'll deal with everything else after we get out alive!" The two women followed him only because of food. They have no choice now. Once they get out, they will have plenty of choices. Alpha will not take advantage of them.

"Lord Alpha, I beg you to let those women leave here?" Suddenly another woman seemed to think of something.

"Why do you want to let them leave? We can't guarantee their safety if they leave here?" Alpha was a little curious.

"I don't know either, but I think they are not just treating us as playthings. They keep arresting people, but the number of women here has not increased." The woman's eyes were full of confusion.

"Well, take those who don't want to leave to the kitchen and maybe they will change their minds." Alpha seemed to know something.

"Lord Alpha, Captain Will wants you to come over to discuss something." Fattam rushed over.

"Let's go! Let's go together."

……

"Brother Alpha, we plan to burn this place down at dawn, then make a circle here and return to Torres City via the main road." Will explained, pointing to the map.

"Yes, this way we can avoid the thieves who are rushing back and reduce casualties. Now we are just worried that the other party will remain unmoved and want to rob and kill us." In fact, Will's plans were all arranged according to the normal way of thinking.

Most people would rush back as soon as they saw their hometown destroyed, so Will led the large army to take a detour through the small path and avoid the returning bandits. Even if the bandits knew they were tricked and rushed back, the people had already gone far away, which greatly reduced the pressure on the knights.

"In that case, we can only fight hard." Will had no choice but to ensure Linda's safety.

"Well, we will cooperate fully." Alpha couldn't think of a better way.

"Now there is another problem. We found a lot of treasures in the bandits' den. What should we do with these treasures?" The warehouse at the back is full of valuable things, and now they don't know what to do.

"People die for money, birds die for food, so let's share it among everyone!" Alpha doesn't have much chivalry, and letting everyone live a better life is more important than anything else.

"No, we are knights, official knights. How can we embezzle money and take the stolen goods ourselves?" Linda looked at Alpha with disappointment. This was not what a formal knight should do.

"Everyone has a family and needs money. Are we going to leave it to the bandits?" Alpha firmly objected.

Will was also planning to distribute it, especially with the support of Alpha, but he could not go against Linda's orders, so he had to let Alpha take the lead.

"The knight's commandments state that a knight must not embezzle money or bully the weak." Linda objected again and even brought out the knight's commandments.

"The latest knight's commandment is that a knight must not be greedy for ill-gotten gains, and a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. These are all from bandits, and leaving them here would only aid the enemy. We must consume every bit of the enemy's strength and not give them any powerful opportunities." Alpha would not be bound by the knight's commandments.

"Really? Have the rules really changed?" Linda asked with a puzzled expression, obviously a little unconvinced.

"Really? If you don't believe me, go check it out when you go back. The latest commandments and maxims were just revised by the Pope a few years ago. If you have any questions, you can come to me." I'm afraid that by that time, Alpha won't even be where he is, so Alpha won't waste time arguing with Linda about these things.

"Okay, you take responsibility for these. I don't care about it now." Linda ran out angrily.

"Thank you, Brother Alpha." Will had wanted to divide the wealth for a long time, but he did not dare to act because of Linda's order.

"Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible. Let's go pick out treasures together!" Whether it is protective gear or weapon making, money is needed. Alpha does not have a source of wealth such as a large amount of money.

Alpha has horses and cars, and he brought a lot of things out this time.

Will also wanted to take it away in a carriage, but he didn't dare disturb Linda now, so he had to fill up all the horses.

Each of the knights filled a large bag, and there was still a lot left, which was given to the women. In the end, all the worthless ones were buried underground.

"Lord Alpha, do you know what's going on in the kitchen?" Lina ran over angrily with a pale face and puffed cheeks.

"Lina, are you sick?" Looking at Lina's pale face, Fattam asked worriedly.

"No, Fattam, do you know what's in the kitchen?" Recalling what she had just seen, Lina began to dry heave again.

"I don't know! Lord Alpha asked me to use my own kitchen utensils. I didn't enter the kitchen because I was afraid that the kitchen utensils here were poisonous." Fattam had just come in and was asked to do so by Alpha. Fattam would not disobey Alpha's orders.

"Do you know what those bandits and beasts eat? They actually used these women as food, and several of them were hung on the wall to dry." Lina trembled, not daring to continue describing the horrific scene. If she hadn't seen this horrific scene, she wouldn't have dared to imagine that such a thing existed in the world.

"What a bunch of beasts! I'm going to kill them." Unexpectedly, Linda also followed the crowd into the kitchen and saw the horrific scene.

"Will, organize our forces, we are going to kill them all." Linda was completely furious.

Linda's expression was full of anger, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Ugh. Linda couldn't help herself and rushed to the corner to vomit.

"Lord Alpha, you should go and have a look! They have found a large number of human bones in the bandits' den." In order to let these women understand how terrifying the bandits are, the two women spared no effort in searching.

"What's the situation?" Alpha asked curiously.

"We found a lot of corpses underground, all of them were female corpses. It's obvious that they used women as food." Lina's face was also very bad. At first, Alpha didn't tell her what was going on here, but she knew everything after she came back from watching.

"Knight's Discipline and Motto: We must protect the weak and avenge them." Linda took out the Discipline and Motto again, and this time even Alpha didn't know how to refute it.

It's so tragic. These women are not just objects of entertainment, but also sheep for use when food is scarce.

"Yes, we want revenge, we fight our way out, we report the situation here to the city lord, and we kill all the bandits." Alpha changed the subject again. Relying on these people to seek revenge is like throwing meat buns at a dog, there is no return.

"Don't get excited!" Alpha walked up. "In our current state, going out would mean death. You are so heartless to watch everyone escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and now you are driving everyone to the underworld. Isn't this a way to die?"

"I can't swallow this. If I don't kill these beasts, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart." Linda clenched her fists.

“No matter what you do, you must think long-term. Those who act impulsively are never winners.”

After saying that, Alpha looked up at everyone, "I don't know what kind of injuries you have suffered in the past, but now. You all have to calm down and think carefully about what we should do next to successfully take revenge!"

Hearing this, Linda suddenly calmed down. Yes, we can't rush out blindly. If we are confused, we will become the victims of the bandits outside. If we want to kill them, we must do it slowly. This anger cannot be relieved in one or two days.

"Okay! I won't be impulsive. Then tell me, what should we do?" Linda suppressed her anger and asked Alpha.

"First of all, we need to calm everyone down quickly and not let them fight this battle in such an impulsive state of mind.

As for everyone’s psychological problems, it’s up to you, because…”

"Because I am a female knight and the daughter of the Grand Duke!" Linda smiled and took over Alpha's words, then Linda coughed.

Alpha continued, "First of all, what the bandits did before was indeed extremely evil and unjust.

However, the primary problem we face now is not the bandits, but the bandits who are chasing us!"

"Although everyone has experienced torture at the hands of bandits before and it was very painful, I would like to ask, is there any lady who dares to rush out with a sword and fight the thieves to the death?" Alpha's question went straight to the heart. Anger is one thing, and resistance is another.

"Then what do we do now?"
