I was a knight in the Middle Ages

The people present lowered their heads and whispered, expressing their own opinions and views. Some people thought that sending troops to suppress bandits was a good idea, which could protect the security and stability of the territory; others believed that suppressing bandits could not solve the fundamental problem, because the root cause of the bandit problem lies in social inequality and poverty.

The Grand Duke listened patiently to everyone's opinions and made a summary at the end. The Grand Duke Houston said that sending troops to suppress bandits is a necessary measure, but it is also a long and arduous task that requires everyone's participation and efforts.

These deliberations are necessary actions before suppressing the bandits. They are euphemistically called listening to everyone's opinions and being fair and just, but in fact the decision on the task has already been made and it's just a show.

"Will, tell me what you think." The Grand Duke listened to the opinions and ideas of all parties. Most of them were unrealistic or beautiful ideas. The ideas were good, but no feasible solutions were proposed to solve the problems. Therefore, the Grand Duke did not feel enlightened. According to the convention, Will finished his speech and the meeting was considered over.

In fact, Alpha also felt that some of them understood the truth. For example, someone pointed out that suppressing bandits could not solve the fundamental problem, because the root of the bandit problem lies in social inequality and poverty. However, the other party thought of the problem but could not solve it, so the Grand Duke did not pay much attention to it. Instead, Alpha paid attention to the middle-aged knight.

"I think..." Will took out his notes and began to read out Alpha's ideas. The unique idea and the other kind of solution made the Grand Duke's eyes light up.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. The delicious food has been prepared outside. You can eat first." After hearing Will's idea, the Grand Duke immediately changed his mind.

Only the Grand Duke and three Knights General were left in the conference room. These three people were the military representatives of the three parties. Captain Will was just a small official in front of these people.

The representative of Grand Duke Houston is Captain Gulist, the representative of mercenary knights is Robin Hood, and the representative of the forces of the surrounding Grand Dukes is Morse. Gulist needs no explanation, he is the supreme commander of the 3,000 knights under the Grand Duke. Robin Hood represents the interests of the mercenaries and will do anything as long as he is paid. Morse's attitude is more intriguing, basically he is just playing a supporting role, not caring about interests, the most important thing is to pass on information.

"Will, did you come up with this yourself?" The Grand Duke left a few people to discuss the solution. Seeing Will's notebook, the Grand Duke knew that this method might solve the bandit problem in the country, but of course there were still many practical problems.

"Grand Duke, this is the result of discussions between me and all the knights." Alpha had threatened Will before that he must not give himself up, otherwise the brotherhood would be gone. This was the only explanation Will could give.

"Then why do you think the city lords would help me guard against the escaped bandits?" The Grand Duke saw the root of the problem at a glance and knew the reason. He just wanted to hear Will's opinion.

"We just happened to discuss this, and haven't had time to discuss it clearly." Will trembled, unable to explain clearly.

"That's just nonsense and fantasy." Morse, as the representative of other forces, couldn't help but sneer.

"Knock knock knock." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The Grand Duke frowned. Although Will's answer made him unhappy, Morse couldn't mock his subordinates in front of him. Wouldn't that be saying that he was incompetent? He could only change the subject. After all, he still needed Morse's strength.

"Captain Will, this is the result of the discussion among all of you knights." Unexpectedly, Alpha directly asked someone to pass the information over, and then the guards immediately left the meeting room.

"Grand Duke, the results of our discussion are out." Will picked up the notebook, which happened to contain an analysis of the reasons why the major forces sent troops.

"Tell me about it." Grand Duke Houston had already guessed that there must be someone behind Will's back. Combining various pieces of information, he was probably his cheap son-in-law Alpha.

The Grand Duke is also a smart man. He cannot let Alpha show up at this time and must hide all of Alpha's information. The only way for Alpha to enter the Fatalia Empire and survive is to pretend to be stupid and cowardly.

"The root of all this is still the issue of interests. The city lords were unwilling to send troops before because it was a thankless task. The bandits fled in the areas of the city lords, and when the storm was over, they would basically go back in ten days or half a month. Most of them would not commit crimes, and both sides lived in peace.

If we send troops to fight the bandits, not only will the effect be extremely poor, but it will also easily cause serious public security problems. These bandits are very good at changing their attitude according to the situation. Once the troops become strong, they will immediately break up into small groups and become refugees to escape the pursuit. Once the troops leave, they will immediately gather together to cause trouble. "Will analyzed the reasons why the lords of the major cities were unwilling to send troops.

"But this is a fact of past experience. This time our operation is a protracted war, lasting for three months. Even if the bandits escaped, they cannot hide for that long. In ten days or half a month at most, those bandits will cause trouble because of resource and food issues. For their own interests, the city lords must either guard against the bandits strictly or send troops to suppress them." In fact, it still depends on the attitude of the city lord and whether he is willing to fight a protracted war.

"Will, do you know how much our operation will cost this time? Three months of high-intensity fighting is almost impossible." As the commander-in-chief, Gulist not only took into account the battle itself, but also the human, material and financial resources behind the war.

According to past combat experience, such a mission usually only takes a dozen or twenty days to complete. Everyone is just going through the motions to show it to the Vatican. It's a matter of attitude.

"No matter how long it takes, we just need to get paid." Robin Hood only cares about the profit issue.

"Me too, as long as I get paid." Morse was just a bystander. He hoped that the time would last as long as possible. Anyway, he would not be able to work hard. The longer it dragged on, the more the Grand Duke Houston's strength would be depleted.

"Show me the information you recorded." The Grand Duke did not comment, but picked up the paper where Will had recorded the information.

"Will, you go out first!" After seeing the information on the paper, the Grand Duke asked Will to go out first.

"Take a look first." Grand Duke Houston pushed the paper to the commander of the Gulist army next to him.

"Yes, this method can sustain consumption for three months." Guliste's frown relaxed when he saw the information on the paper.

"Then follow this method. You negotiate with the two of them first." Grand Duke Houston was not responsible for negotiating these trivial matters.

Public meetings are not for negotiation, but for announcing results. The real negotiation is the discussion before the meeting.

Finally, the three leaders reached an agreement: Morse was responsible for intercepting and guarding the north and south sides, mainly responsible for the problem of bandits escaping from the borders of the two provinces. Gulist led 500 people to intercept and kill the bandits at the western border of Fatalia. Robin Hood's more than 1,000 mercenaries and Will's more than 500 knights were responsible for strangling the bandits in the inner area.

After the strangulation operation is completed, each team will be stationed in the area they are responsible for to solve the law and order problems. The city lord will be responsible for providing supplies for a period of three months.

At the same time, the bounty on the bandits was also increased. Each dead bandit's head was still worth one gold coin, while a captured bandit was worth one and a half gold coins.

For Robin Hood's mercenaries, after this operation they could go to garrison and rest, and solve the problem of food and supplies, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Gulist also agreed with everyone that if banditry occurred in the area they were responsible for and was not effectively resolved, the city lord would no longer provide supplies for free, which forced everyone to work hard to suppress the bandits.

……

"Alpha, you are going to the front line tomorrow. I went to find my father, but he didn't want me to go with you." Linda took Alpha to the attic terrace on the top of the castle.

"That's great. If it were me, I wouldn't agree to it either." Alpha understood Linda's father. Although this operation was not dangerous, it was always better to be cautious just in case.

"Don't you want me to accompany you?" Linda looked at the man in front of her angrily.

"How is that possible?" Alpha took a few steps forward and pushed Linda against the wall.

"But I'm more worried about your safety."

Looking at Linda's red lips, Alpha couldn't help but kiss her. Linda resisted for a few times, then hugged Alpha tightly.

As the saying goes, dry wood can only burn a raging fire. Even the cold wind could not stop the two from being burned to death.

Half an hour later, the two of them hugged each other quietly, enjoying this brief peace and warmth.

"Alpha, I'm yours now, you must come back alive." Linda straightened her clothes and walked away from the terrace in small and cautious steps.

"Wait for me two years, and I will come back to marry you." Alpha put away the bloody handkerchief, which was a symbol of their love and the only proof of Alpha's concern in this world.

Due to the change in the action plan, the expedition team delayed its departure by one day. The original quick battle turned into a protracted battle, and everyone adjusted their preparations accordingly.

In addition, the Grand Duke also needs to inform Grand Duke Zhou Wei of the problem, and all of this requires time to arrange.

The next day, Linda came to visit Alpha and others, but Linda was still angry and didn't say a word to Alpha.

For this operation, Alpha prepared two carriages, one for carrying food and supplies, and the other for charging into battle. The previous carriage had been modified, with steel plates installed on the outside, giving it amazing protection, and now it has become a supply vehicle.

Fattam is a heavily armored knight, and her weight is seriously overweight. Even the Wind Chaser with its outstanding speed and endurance cannot bear her current weight for a long time, so she can only choose a chariot. After all, the Wind Chaser's advantage lies in speed and endurance, not load-bearing capacity.

Alpha saw Linda's mood, walked over with a smile, touched her head and asked, "What's wrong, little thing, who made you angry?"

When Linda heard Alpha calling her "little thing", she replied unhappily: "You have such a rotten mouth, you only know how to make me angry all day long."

"Hahaha, you can't blame me for this. The most charming thing about you is when you are angry. You act like you are aggrieved every day, and in the end you blame me for making you angry. Your face is red, just like an apple. Come, let me taste if the apple is sweet." As he said that, Alpha actually took a bite of Linda's face.

"You rascal, who is your little apple? You have no shame." Although she said this, Linda did not struggle. Instead, she leaned her head on Alpha's shoulder.

Linda knew that after meeting Alpha this time, she would not see him again for a long time. She cherished the time Alpha spent with her and wanted to remember this moment of tenderness deeply in her heart.

"Alpha, are you going to use this long sword this time?" Looking at Alpha's behavior, Linda couldn't help but remind him. After all, this is her man, and she can't just watch him do whatever he wants.

"No, I plan to use a spear, a sword and a shield, and I will also bring a crossbow." Alpha equipped everyone with a crossbow to enhance everyone's long-range attack capabilities.

"Then why do you still carry this weapon?" Linda thought Alpha was coaxing her.

"Because I am a Discipline Knight, I have special abilities." Alpha pulled Linda onto the carriage and galloped out of the city.

"Alpha, where are you taking me?" Linda asked curiously, snuggling in Alpha's arms.

"Let's do it here." Actually, Alpha just wanted to take Linda to a place where no one was around to show off his new abilities. It didn't matter where exactly.

"Let me show you the power of my discipline." Alpha took off his gloves, revealing the Discipline Rings on his thumb and ring finger. These rings represent the honor and power of the Discipline Knight and are also a symbol of strength.

Alpha drew out his long sword, the blade flashed, and his energy was flowing. He looked at the huge stone in front of him, jumped high, and with one blow, he split the Huashan Mountain with all his strength, and the blade went straight to the Huanglong.

With a loud bang, a large amount of dust filled the air, making it impossible to see the situation ahead.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Linda looked at the hill behind Alpha in shock: it was cut in half with one stroke!

This is simply beyond human power. Even the Golden Knight cannot achieve such power.

"This is my ability, the power of shock cutting."

Alpha put away his weapon, picked up Linda and walked to the split boulder, introducing, "My ability can be said to be stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Steel is no problem, but I can't split soft things, such as cotton and clothes."

Alpha noticed that Linda was holding her palm tightly, as if she noticed something. She looked up and found that she was missing a little finger.

"Alpha, what happened to your finger?"

"It's okay. My ability is too strong. They are afraid that I will surpass them, so they put restrictions on me." Alpha now understands the power of the commandments. If the commandments are allowed to increase infinitely, Alpha's ability will only frighten people, which will make the Pope uneasy.

"Who are they? The Vatican? Or?" Linda began to guess.

"Don't guess." Alpha hugged Linda tightly. It is better to pretend to be ignorant about some things.

"How can they do this? Isn't this ruining people's future and making them despair?" Linda was filled with indignation.

"It's okay. Human power is limited. Only a few people can truly master the power of precepts." The person who Alpha has seen master the most power of precepts is Captain Mars, who only has five precepts.

Even the Pope probably wouldn't have too many. Although Alpha had never seen it with his own eyes, he guessed that there should be only five or six rings.

"I'm going to find my father and ask him to tell you not to go to the Fatalia Empire. They treated you like this, and you repay evil with kindness." Linda was about to get up when Alpha hugged her.

"If it weren't like this, how would I have met you?"

Grand Duke Houston has no ability to change himself, so why make things difficult for others?

"How could you do this? We must resist the injustice of fate and say no to evil forces." Linda was still complaining, but her mouth was blocked by Alpha.

Alpha hugged Linda's body and greedily kissed the beauty in his arms.

"Alpha, not here."

Linda's resistance only aroused Alpha's desire to conquer, and soon he began to shake regularly.

"Linda, how about not going home tonight?" Alpha leaned on the carriage, with Linda, who was like a kitten, lying in his arms, his eyes full of expectation.

"If I don't go home at night, my father will beat me to death if he finds out." Grand Duke Houston was very strict with his children. If someone did not come home at night without a good excuse, it would be a big deal.

"Don't be disappointed, Alpha, I will accompany you for the whole day today." Linda lay on Alpha, her face full of tenderness.

"Okay, then you are mine today." Alpha said with a smirk on his face.

"Didn't you just do that? Why do you want it again?" Linda felt the man's impulse and wanted to crawl out, but a pair of big hands had already pressed Linda against the car...
