I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 24 Knight Defense

Captain Will led the team to successfully escape the pursuit of the thieves and won the counterattack. The knights took advantage of the terrain at the mountain pass, successfully resisted the attack of the thieves, and also harvested a lot of spoils.

"Captain Will, a large number of enemies were spotted twenty miles ahead, including about fifty knights and two hundred to two hundred and fifty soldiers." Suddenly the sentry brought bad news.

Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment. It was almost impossible to escape now. The other side's entire army was on the move, which meant that they had discovered them. Unless they gave up these women, they would not be able to escape at all.

"Fight them." Linda had wanted to go to the battlefield for a long time, and now she had the chance.

"Yes, let's fight them." Alpha actually agreed with Linda's decision for the first time.

"What do you mean? Alpha Knight." Will knew that Alpha would not act impulsively, nor would he cater to Linda's decision. Because Alpha was the only knight who dared to disobey Linda's orders.

"Let the Second Guard send out thirty people, and let the Third Guard send out fifty people as substitutes, to form a team of one hundred people to confront the bandits head-on." The Second Guard consists of women with normal physical strength, and the Third Guard consists of women who could not even get enough food before. Alpha will use these eighty women as the first line of defense.

"There's no way they can stop the gang of thieves." Will thought that this would just be sending them to their deaths and there was no other meaning.

"What I mean is that these eighty people should stop those ordinary thieves gangs. We don't ask to annihilate them, just to stop them." Alpha's explanation made everyone silent. No matter what, this was very risky, but it did not mean that there was no hope.

"The remaining twenty people and the remaining third guards, get on your war horses and form a knight team. When our battle with the bandit knights becomes fierce, the army will slowly advance." This is Alpha's purpose, to scare the enemy.

"Even if they can ride on war horses, they can't exert any combat effectiveness. If they run away, the consequences will be disastrous." Will frowned.

"Tie all the war horses together. We don't need to fight, as long as the momentum is strong enough." Alpha's decision was extremely risky. If he failed, these people would not be able to escape.

"Our target is the real thief knights. We are the source of all victory or defeat." Of course, the premise is that ordinary thief groups must be stopped, otherwise these thief groups will also be a huge trouble. Once the war is stalemated, the Knights are likely to be attacked from all sides and suffer a devastating disaster.

"I think Alpha's action is worth a try." Unexpectedly, the first person to agree was Linda.

"Okay, let's follow Alpha Knight's tactics." Will could only agree. After all, there was no better way. Although it was risky, it was still a feasible method.

"Leave ten people to protect Linda."

"No, I don't need protection this time. All of you must go into battle and kill the enemy." Linda was the first to object to the protection arranged by Will.

There were only more than 30 knights in total, while the target had more than 50. These thief knights were all regular knights, and if ten more were separated, the gap would be doubled, and the outcome would be decided.

"Linda will be assigned to the Last Knights and protected by Lina." Alpha made the decision. Now was not the time to be pretentious.

Will had no choice but to take risks, otherwise he would lose. In the end, Fattam was in charge of the first front, while Lina was in charge of the subsequent knight front and also served as Linda's security guard.

"Lord Alpha, how do we deal with these bandits?" Lina's staff had already been arranged, and they were training these women to ride horses. When the war horses were tied together, it actually didn't require very good skills, just a little training. But these dozens of bandit captives were completely unattended, and leaving them alone would be a disaster.

"Sir, you said that we won't kill those who surrender." The bandits also knew that everyone was thinking about how to deal with them, and immediately emphasized what Alpha had said before.

"Yes, I said you won't be killed if you surrender." Alpha was not prepared to kill them.

"Ah! Lord Alpha, we won't have anyone to look after them later?" Lina didn't know what to do.

"Just because I don't kill them doesn't mean you don't kill them either. Let the female knights kill them and let them bleed. Later I will let these female knights scare the enemy." Alpha smiled sinisterly, and one sentence decided the life and death of the bandits.

"Okay, Lord Alpha, I'll make the arrangements." Lina had already developed murderous intentions towards these bandits and beasts because of the crimes committed in the den of thieves. She wished she could eat their flesh and suck their blood. Now that she had the chance, how could she let them go?

"Fatam, remember your mission is to hold on and delay time as much as possible. Also, if the situation is not right, leave immediately." Alpha hugged Fatam and reminded him in a low voice.

"Yes, I know, Lord Alpha. I will complete the task." Fattam's face was firm, and it was obvious that he would never admit defeat.

"Remember, I want the living Fatma, not his dead body." Alpha turned and left, killing the enemy without hesitation.

"Leader, a large number of enemies have been spotted ahead and are approaching us." The sentinel of the thieves' group passed the message back.

The two teams met at the mountain pass. Of course, this was done on purpose by Alpha, so that the female warriors only had to guard one direction and the enemy would not be able to take advantage of their numbers.

"Let the thieves go first, and the knights prepare on both sides." The leader will not be sent to the battlefield first by his most precious knights.

"Report to the lord, the enemy knights are attacking the rogue infantry on both sides of us."

"It's okay. Let them attack. Our Knights will be waiting for them." The leader had no intention of protecting the bandits' gang. He let the bandits' knights prepare step by step.

"Alpha, you guys attack from the right, I'll charge from the left, interspersed attacks, mainly killing people." The two of them each led 18 knights to advance at high speed. This was to strike the other thieves' group before the other knights could react. It was not about how many casualties were killed, but about destroying morale.

The knights moved in at high speed, leaving only corpses on the ground, which severely hit the morale of the thieves. Facing the knights who came and went like the wind, the thieves' infantry could only watch the other side go away, without any way to deal with it.

"The enemy infantry has stopped, Second in Command."

"Okay, square formation, prepare to attack, and move slower." The thieves, infantry and cavalry are not from the same family, and each has their own selfish desires. Now the second in command will not really fight for the Knights.

"Second in command, the boss told us to kill the enemy quickly and then outflank the enemy cavalry." Before the battle even started, orders came from behind.

"Okay, you go report to the boss, we will definitely complete the mission." Watching the sentry leave, the second in command spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Boss, should we speed up?"

"Get out! Are you in a hurry to die because we have too many people? Continue to follow the procedures, don't be anxious, take your time." The second in command showed a terrible and cunning smile on his face.

"Kill." With the command, two well-trained cavalry teams started a fierce fight.

Although Will's knights were more powerful, they had been fighting for many days in a row, and were on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally.

"Kill." The Thieves Knights took advantage of their rest and killed their way into Will's Knights Knights.

Spears were like a forest, blades were interlaced, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The heavily armored knights pierced the enemy's body with their spears, and the lightly armored knights swung their blades to chop at the enemy's neck.

In such a fierce fight, everyone bravely moved forward, fighting for honor and fighting for survival.

However, in such a battle, victory or defeat often does not depend on individual bravery. Will's Knights had been fighting for many days in a row, and they were exhausted physically and mentally, and their momentum was gradually declining. The Thieves Knights, on the other hand, were resting and recuperating, and gradually the Thieves Knights gained the upper hand in momentum.

As the battle progressed, Will's Knights began to make mistakes. Their moves became slower and their eyes became blurry. The Rogue Knights took the opportunity to become more ferocious, biting Will's Knights like wolves.

The Will Knights have suffered casualties, but none of them chose to escape.

"Will, capture the leader first." Alpha seized the opportunity, killed two people in a row, and rushed towards the enemy leader.

"Okay." Will knew that he had to create opportunities for Alpha, even if they all died in battle.

"Kill." The Knights let out a terrifying roar and pushed the Rogue Knight back again.

"Stop him, don't let him come over." The leader of the thieves was so scared when he saw someone breaking through and approaching him that he quickly retreated.

The thieves immediately surrounded him and tried to stop Alpha. Alpha chopped and slashed continuously, with several wounds on his body, and could only watch the enemy getting farther and farther away.

"Alpha, leave this to me." At the critical moment, Will and his guards rushed over. Alpha gasped and rushed out again.

……

"Second in command, these are all women. We have been deceived." The thieves looked down on the women in front of them, thinking that they could kill them all with just one charge.

"Kill." But after a moment of fighting, they realized they were wrong, and more than a dozen of the reckless thieves were stabbed to death.

"Yes, that's right. They are also human beings and will die. We are no less inferior to any man on the battlefield." Fattam killed three bandits and loudly cheered for the woman behind him.

"Boss, they are like hedgehogs. As long as we get close to them, they will stab us with spears and we will not be able to kill them at all." The bandits did not have any better solution for the time being. After all, no one wanted to die.

"Go around and kill them from both sides." The boss roared angrily, but he was unable to resolve the battle in a short time.

The two teams started a tense battle, neither of them could do anything to the other. Gradually, the female warriors relaxed, thinking that men were no better than them. Without the psychological burden, Fattam's task became much easier.

However, as the battle continued, casualties began to appear. The screams of pain caused the women to begin to collapse mentally and their determination to resist was shaken.

If Fattam had not continued to fight on the front line, the team would have collapsed and fled long ago.

……

"Kill him for me, the reward is one hundred taels." Alpha has been chasing the bandit leader for several kilometers. Now there are no Will's knights around, only five of the bandits' bodyguards.

"Kill." People die for money, birds die for food. A big reward will always bring courage. The guards attacked Alpha.

"Kill." Alpha had no way to retreat. These people must die today. He used the force of shock without hesitation. In just a moment, all the guards were killed.

Huhu, huhu, Alpha panted and rushed towards the enemy leader.

"Don't come over. I have money. I can give you women, money and power." Seeing Alpha stop, the leader showed a sly smile and stabbed out with his sword.

"You don't know your own limitations." Unfortunately, the long sword was cut off by Alpha's sword, and the opponent's head was also chopped off.

Alpha grabbed the opponent's head and returned the same way, but now Alpha was exhausted and had no strength to continue killing.

"The leader of the bandits is dead, you all should lay down your weapons and surrender." The knight, who was already exhausted, became more motivated when he saw Alpha holding up the enemy leader's head.

When the enemy saw that their leader was dead, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Now the advantage is still on the side of the thieves. There are still more than 20 thieves, but only a dozen knights can still fight, and all of them are injured and exhausted.

"Knights, follow me and kill." Seeing the flash of light in the distance, Lina received the signal and led the connected group of knights to kill.

"Kill." The bandit group's outer defense line of the female warriors had been breached, especially the bandits on both sides who also climbed up the hillside and killed people from above.

"Oh no, boss, there is a group of 100 knights coming from behind." The bandits here just received the news, and there was smoke and dust all over the sky behind them, so there was no need for explanation.

"What should we do, boss?" Even if he could kill all the women in front of him, he would not be able to escape from the pursuit of the cavalry.

"What should we do? Run! Their target is those knights, not us." The boss felt the threat of death and fled with the remaining bandits as soon as possible.

"We won, we won." Everyone cheered.

"Make way for the knights to charge out." Fattam was too tired to lift the sword in his hand, but he had to continue the maintenance work.

"What happened?" The Knight Captain was confused when he saw the gang of thieves being defeated in the distance.

But when he saw a group of a hundred knights charging out, he knew the reasons behind everything.

"Kill." Alpha charged towards the bandit knight alone.

"Kill." Will was not to be outdone and led all the knights to launch an attack.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the one who is brave enough wins. The Rogue Knights were frightened and immediately turned around and fled.

The speed of the Knights became slower and slower, until they were just standing still.

"Alpha, why don't you chase me?"

"Will, why did you stop?"

The two smiled at each other, the battle was won and the adventure was over.

Those who survived were thankful to have survived.

"Captain Will, there is a cavalry of a hundred men approaching rapidly ahead." The sentry's information made everyone despair. Now, let alone a hundred men of cavalry, even if those knight bandits just turned around and came back, these people would have to stay here.

"Lord Will, that's the Knights of Torres City." The sentinel cheered immediately when he saw the flag.

"We won, we won." Everyone cheered and celebrated the joy of victory.

"Will, take the head." Alpha threw the head of the thief leader out.

"Thanks, Brother Alpha." Will wasn't polite and took the head directly.

"Lord Alpha, we are here." Lina brought Fatam, and behind them was a carriage, Ham, Hanta, and Linda. All the efforts were worth it, and the people she cared about were alive.

"Master Alpha, Master Alpha."
