I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Lord Alpha, you're finally awake." Seeing Alpha open his eyes, Lina immediately rushed over.

"Lina, where is this place?" Alpha's last memory was on the battlefield.

Alpha looked around and found himself lying in a very unfamiliar room. The decoration and furnishings of the room were very luxurious, and it could be seen that the owner of the room must be extraordinary. Alpha couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but more of it was worry.

"This is the city lord's Drus Castle. We came back with Will and the others after you fell into a coma that day. We are safe now." Lina showed a flower-like smile on her face. After all, Alpha was their backbone.

"How long have I been unconscious? Lina." Since they were out of danger, Alpha was no longer anxious and sat on the edge of the bed with his arms around Lina.

"Lord Alpha, you have been in a coma for two days and one night. Miss Linda also sent a doctor to check your body. She said that you are just exhausted and you will be fine after a rest." Lina is also a doctor, but she is not very confident in her medical skills.

"Where are Fattam and the others?" Alpha had been awake for so long, but hadn't seen many people.

"They are in training, as are Hamhanta and the women who were rescued. Captain Will plans to train them to be knights' squires." Lina didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they were all rescued. If they didn't become knights' squires, what else could they do? They could become men's vassals.

Before Lina finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open. Miss Linda walked in with Will and others.

"Hmph, all men are equally vulgar, shameless and lustful." Linda looked at the ambiguous relationship between Alpha and Lina and couldn't help but sneer in response.

There was no need for introduction, as Alpha was very familiar with Will who fought alongside him, but the cold knight behind Linda was a stranger.

"Mr. Alpha, I'm glad you're awake. We are now very safe in Druse Castle. There will be a celebration party later, and we came here specially to invite you." Because of the presence of other people, Will couldn't act too casually.

"This is the sharpshooter Deshu Kane. He can penetrate a knight's armor from a hundred steps away and a heavily armored knight within a hundred steps. He is a master who specializes in protecting the lord of Houston." Seeing Linda's angry look, Will introduced the knight next to him.

"Hello, Knight Deshu." This was the first time Alpha had met an archer, and he was very respectful. In fact, Alpha had always wanted to let Lina and the others use bows and arrows, but he didn't have the time.

"I also want to learn archery when I have time. Please, Knight Dishu, teach us well." As soon as Alpha said this, everyone looked at Alpha with strange eyes, and even the sharpshooter Dishu's eyes became hostile.

"Brother Alpha, don't you know that knights cannot use bows and arrows and that true knights can only fight the enemy face to face in an open and honest manner?" Will knew that Alpha was not the kind of person who would do such difficult things in such occasions, so he asked curiously.

"Ah! There is such a rule, I can't remember it." Alpha really didn't know. Looking at Alpha who was confused, Lina stood up.

"Lord Alpha has been learning chivalry with Teacher Mars and has never entered the Knight School. Maybe Teacher Mars didn't even remind him!" Lina came to Alpha's rescue with a doubtful tone.

"It is very likely. Generally, great knights seldom explain these common sense issues, so it is normal that Alpha does not know them." Will also explained for Alpha. After all, the two of them got along very well and there would be many more areas for cooperation in the future.

"But I still think that archers can play a huge role on the battlefield." Alpha had no intention of despising archers. Although knight armor can protect knights, most ordinary soldiers and knight attendants on the battlefield cannot have full protection.

"Lord Alpha, don't you know that most archers cannot penetrate the knight's armor and are of little use on the battlefield?" Lina wondered if Lord Alpha's brain was burned and confused.

"In today's battles, the proportion of knights is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more ordinary soldiers. Facing archers, they cannot protect themselves." Alpha probably guessed the key.

Originally, wars were fought between knights. Everyone wore heavy armor and there were not many of them. It was a competition of individual bravery, and the effect of archers was minimal. Especially as the protection of knights' armor became stronger and stronger, the effect of bows and arrows was almost gone, and they were gradually eliminated.

However, as time went on, the number of people involved in a battle increased, the proportion of ordinary soldiers was rapidly increasing, and the overall defense was decreasing. The knights obviously did not realize the key.

"This" Lina couldn't explain. Originally, Lina also thought that knights fought face-to-face, and using archers was a cowardly act. However, after experiencing several real battles, there were not many soldiers who could wear full armor, and most of them were ordinary people who lacked or even had no protection.

Alpha's point of view caused everyone present to think. In fact, in modern wars, the proportion of knights has gradually decreased, and the number of ordinary soldiers has gradually increased. This makes the role of archers in wars even more important.

However, traditional concepts made many knights look down on archers. Alpha's ideas brought everyone a new perspective, allowing them to look at various factors in war more comprehensively.

After listening to Alpha's words, Deshu Kane silently resonated with some feelings. He has always been very proud of his archery skills, but he also felt that the role of archers on the battlefield was sometimes underestimated. Now, after hearing Alpha's point of view, he felt that Alpha understood his feelings and recognized his efforts.

Although Linda had always been skeptical of Alpha, she began to think about what Alpha said this time. Linda realized that in war, various tactics and weapons have their value and role, and they cannot be generalized. Linda began to re-evaluate Alpha in her heart and had reservations about Alpha's insights and thinking ability.

Will has always been more in favor of Alpha. Will found that Alpha can always think about problems from different angles and have a deep understanding of the problems. This time, Will is more determined to recognize Alpha and pay more attention to Alpha.

In short, Alpha's views caused others present to think and began to re-examine their own ideas.

"Forget it, there is no point in our discussion here, but in the future I will let my knights carry bows and arrows, the more the better." Regardless of whether he can change other people's minds or not, Alpha will not ignore the lives of his own people because of worldly views.

"Lord Alpha, they will look down on us." Lina attended a formal knight school, and this concept is deeply rooted in her, even though she knows that what Alpha said makes sense.

"I won't let my people die in vain, Lina." Alpha has made his decision and will not change it.

"Forget it, let's go to the party on time when it starts." Alpha hasn't eaten for two days, and now he probably can't even eat a cow.

"It officially starts at seven o'clock, which is more than an hour away, Alpha."

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Alpha was only there for the food, and the banquet was secondary.

"Lina, give me a change of clothes."

Seeing that Alpha had recovered and was in good health, and that the information about the party had been conveyed, everyone left one after another.

Alpha attended the party prepared by the Duke for the distinguished guests from various countries on time. This party was a good blessing for Linda's safe return, and it was also a meeting and exchange meeting for the Duke of Houston to deal with the problem of bandits in the territory. The Duke and his wife personally attended the party, and of course their favorite daughter, Miss Linda, the protagonist of this party, was also present.

It was a magnificent feast, with fine wine and delicious food, and graceful dancing. People were immersed in joy and happiness. Alpha also took the opportunity to replenish his physical strength and regain some spirit.

When Miss Linda appeared in her elaborate attire, she attracted everyone's attention, even Alpha. Alpha then realized that Linda was so perfect and her beauty was intoxicating.

Linda is almost like the goddess of beauty Venus. Her appearance and figure are intoxicating. Linda has a delicate and beautiful face with regular and beautiful features. Her eyes are bright and lively, like clear lake water, which can make people feel her inner wisdom and kindness. Her thick eyelashes flutter gently like butterfly wings, exuding charming charm.

The high bridge of her nose outlines a perfect curve, and her long eyebrows are like the extension of a mountain peak, gently raised and slightly curved, exuding a strong heroic spirit. Her lips are red, her teeth are white, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, exuding a confident and elegant temperament.

Linda walks lightly and gracefully, like a dancer, and every step is poetic and picturesque. Her gestures exude a unique charm, as if the whole world has become a better place because of her.

Linda had been captured before, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, her face haggard, and the dust on her body also obscured Linda's beauty, so Alpha didn't notice the goddess in front of him at all.

"Hmph, a superficial man." Linda, who was walking behind the Grand Duke, snorted coldly as she passed by Alpha.

Alpha recovered and smiled awkwardly, continuing to digest the food in front of him to hide his embarrassment. After all, the food in front of him belonged to him.

No matter how beautiful Linda is, she is just a reflection of the moon in the mirror and a flower in the water, not as real as Lina and Fattam. Alpha would not think that just because they have a life-and-death friendship, they would want to develop a deeper relationship.

"I welcome everyone to take time out of their busy schedules to attend this party. I sincerely thank you all..." Grand Duke Houston continued his passionate speech in the center of the hall.

"Alpha, why are you here?" Will saw Alpha challenging his taste buds alone and immediately walked over.

"Captain Will, Knight Dishu, why are you here? Aren't you going to chat with them?" Alpha didn't know anyone and didn't want to make friends with these nobles, so he simply hid in the corner and ate delicious food.

"Brother Alpha, my status is too low. They won't talk to me, and I can't squeeze in." Will is only a centurion. Even after this crisis, it is difficult for him to be a thousand-man commander. A centurion is just an insignificant person in front of the nobles. Dishu is even worse. He is not even a decapitator. He is only looked at because he is the bodyguard of Grand Duke Houston.

"Brother Alpha, you know there are two important events to be announced at this banquet." Will's sudden topic attracted Alpha's attention.

"What's the big deal? Captain Will." How could Alpha know that he had just woken up?

“The first is about the bandit problem around Torres City. The Grand Duke wants to gain support from the major empires.

In fact, everyone knows that this is a conspiracy of the Kingdom of Fatalia, but there is no evidence. However, this attitude must be expressed to all major forces. If the major empires do not send troops, then the Grand Duke can only recruit soldiers. "

In fact, the major empires are also willing to send troops, but this is within the jurisdiction of the Vatican, and once people are sent here, the command will definitely belong to the Vatican, which makes everyone very hesitant.

"Well, the problem of bandits here is serious. It has reached the point where we have to deal with it." The Alphas have little influence, but if they encounter bandits, they will not stand idly by.

"Yes, this time the Grand Duke plans to increase the number of soldiers in Torres City to 5,000, which means he needs to recruit another 2,000 people." This is related to Will's interests. If Will wants to move to a higher level, he must seize this opportunity and recruit more soldiers.

"This is a good thing! This way we can crack down on the bandit problem around here." Alpha didn't think much about it, just the area in front of him.

"But the major empires may not agree, especially the Fatalia Empire. Once we recruit soldiers, they will definitely increase their military strength in the border areas." Will's eyes were full of worry. This was probably the purpose of the Fatalia Empire, to use the bandit problem to increase its troops.

"What about the other thing?" Alpha also knew that the problem was serious and did not want to continue discussing it. After all, a discussion among three people could not solve any problem.

"The other thing is about Miss Linda. The Grand Duke wants Linda to find an ideal husband among the nobles, but now is not the right time. Miss Linda has just experienced a kidnapping incident, which has had a great impact." Will felt Linda's sadness.

After all, he had just been kidnapped by bandits, and the incident was known to everyone. Regardless of whether he was raped by the bandits or not, his reputation would not be very good.

Now, it is impossible for the real nobles to choose Linda. Even if Linda is naturally beautiful, it is impossible for the nobles to marry Linda home in a formal ceremony.

If she becomes a mistress, the Grand Duke will not accept it. So now she can only choose from second-rate nobles or nobles with bad reputations. It is easy to imagine Linda's future.

No wonder there was deep sorrow in Linda's eyes, it turned out to be because of this matter, but Alpha was unable to help her out.

"Linda is the goddess of all of us. She is kind, brave, generous and beautiful. We sincerely hope that Linda can find a man who is worthy of her. Unfortunately, now... Alas." Will sighed. It seems that Linda still has a good reputation in the eyes of the lower-level soldiers.

"Miss Linda is the only noble who looks down on us archers." The silent Dishu also expressed his opinion.

Linda was listening to the Archduke's endless speech on the stage and felt it was too boring. She saw the Archduke and several nobles walking backstage. She finally gained freedom and didn't want to waste her time on this. She turned around and saw Alpha who was eating alone just now, and she was instantly filled with anger.
