I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 40 Rescue Alice

"That won't do, sister. We have no way to deal with this damn stronghold!" Tony looked up. The wall of the stronghold in front of him was at least forty or fifty meters high, leaving him at a loss.

The Qishan bandit camp is located between two hundred-meter-high peaks, with a height of about fifty to sixty meters. The hillsides on both sides have been shoveled bare by bandits. The cliffs are steep and there are surveillance sentries everywhere. It is basically impossible to climb up from both sides and launch a sneak attack.

There was only a straight passage more than three meters wide on the front battlefield, where even two carriages could not pass side by side, and the advantage of numbers could not be brought into play.

There is a small square of more than two or three hundred square meters at the entrance of the bandit camp. Even if we attack there, we will become a sitting duck for the enemy.

The wall of the bandit stronghold was at least thirty or forty meters high and was built entirely of rocks. Neither the raging fire nor the thick smoke could protect it.

The only good news is that the gap in the city wall is big enough for people to climb in without any tools, but how many people will it take to get under the wall?

Alice has organized three powerful attacks, and apart from leaving a lot of wounded, she didn't even touch the enemy.

"Tony, we have to take down this bandit camp." Alice looked at the young warrior, her brother. She knew it was a difficult task, almost impossible to accomplish, but she understood that she had to face the challenge head-on because it was related to their vital mission.

Alice is the daughter of the Grand Duke and can no longer inherit the Grand Duke's estate. She can only rely on her own efforts to gain recognition from the public. No one knows about Alice's efforts, but everyone still believes that she relied on the Grand Duke's connections to get to this position.

"Does anyone have any good suggestions?" Alice asked after taking a deep breath.

"We can attack with fire." Tony whispered. He knew very well that this strategy might cost them a heavy price, but it was the only feasible method at the moment.

Alice looked at Tony and knew the pain in his heart. Alice once asked Tony why he wanted to participate in dangerous missions. Tony said that his father could not give him, so he had to fight for it himself. He wanted to create a world for himself, his mother and his sister.

"But no matter how we use fire attack, we can't even get out of the mountain gate." Alice was also thinking about the possibility of fire attack, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

At this time, a young warrior spoke up: "We can attack at night."

Night is when the bandits are most relaxed and when they are most likely to capture the bandits' stronghold, but this also means that they have to take greater risks.

Alice knew that this decision was not something she could make alone. She had to rely on the strength of everyone. Alice looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Tony lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, we will attack at night."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and silently digested this decision.

As night fell, Alice led the soldiers to sneak towards the mountain village under the cover of darkness.

There were many guards outside the village, but Alice had already made a plan in advance and bribed a few guards with money to keep watch for them.

After a combination of internal and external efforts, the guards were quietly killed, and the group successfully sneaked into the mountain stronghold.

The stronghold was heavily guarded. Alice carefully avoided various sentry posts and led the soldiers forward.

When passing by the small church in the mountain village, Alice suddenly stopped and said in a vigilant voice: "Everyone be careful, this is a church, there are many guards."

"Oh, it seems that our Lord Knight knows that we are holding a banquet, and just happens to know that we are short of women, so he sent me a gift." A familiar voice sounded.

Suddenly, the surroundings were brightly lit, and Alice's heart tightened, knowing that something was wrong.

It turned out that the bandit stronghold actually had two walls. The bandits that Alice bribed were only peripheral bandits, and it was Bakuzan who deliberately spread false information. Everything was under his plan.

"Shoot." With this order, all the bandits around appeared and countless arrows fell.

Alice responded quickly, "Big shield defense, take down the outer city for me." Even though she was surrounded, she did not give up attacking the bandits.

"Captain Tony, something's wrong over there. Why is the fighting so fierce?" Tony's attendants noticed something was wrong. After all, according to previous deductions, even a battle couldn't be so intense.

"I'll go support Captain Alice, and you go ask for help from Captain Alpha." Tony took his knight attendants and hurried to support the front line.

When Tony arrived in a hurry, Alice had already led her men in a fierce battle with the bandits.

Tony joined the battle without saying a word, slashing left and right with his sword, but was blocked one by one by the bandits.

Despite Alice's continuous attacks, the bandits' defense was extremely solid. It seemed that they had been prepared and were waiting for Tony to attack.

"These bandits are really difficult to deal with." Alice couldn't help but mutter to herself and wiped the sweat from her head.

"Yes, Captain Alice, we need more support." Tony said helplessly.

"Tony, you shouldn't come here." Alice glanced at Tony with a serious expression. After all, if both siblings died here, their mother would be finished.

"Captain Alice, I'll cover you while you fight your way out." No matter what, Tony knew that one of them had to escape.

"No, it's you who has to go out." Alice would not let her brother take risks. After all, Tony was the only male in the family.

"Even if I'm captured, they won't do anything to me, but you are different." Once Alice is captured, the consequences will be disastrous. If the bandits capture Alice, then Alice will be in a state of neither life nor death. If Tony is captured, he will only be used to exchange for more bargaining chips.

At this moment, the door behind them slowly closed, and the two sisters were in desperate situation.

Once closed, people outside can't go out and people inside can't come in, so Alice and her brother are trapped in a jar.

"I'm going to seize the gate, Tony, you go and eliminate the enemies on the city wall." Because it was a double city wall, the inner wall was twenty meters higher than the outer wall, and even the outer wall was more than ten meters higher than the outer wall. The shooting from a high position caused heavy losses to Alice's soldiers.

"Okay." If he didn't fight hard now, he would have no chance. Tony ignored the danger and rushed towards the outer city wall with a large shield.

"No one can escape." the bandit leader shouted.

At this moment, the inner city gate slowly opened, and Bakuzan led his army to attack again.

"Tony, you go seize the high ground, and I will stop the bandits." Alice gave up the city gate and led the army to attack the bandits again.

"My little beauty, why bother with knives and guns? Just have fun with me, and I promise to make you feel like you are in heaven." Bakuzan was talking dirty, making Alice want to chop him into meat sauce.

"Kill." Alice is quite powerful, at least at the level of an intermediate knight. The only difference between her and Alpha is whether or not she possesses the power of discipline.

As time passed, Alice's subordinates became fewer and fewer, and she suffered heavy losses.

"Alice, I've taken the outer city. Let's retreat." Tony has already taken the outer city and the city gate. Now at least he has no worries.

"Really?" Before he finished speaking, Bakuzan's mocking voice rang out.

"Sister, our camp was attacked." Tony on the city wall saw a fire in the camp, and everyone felt like they were falling into an icy cave.

There were at most fifty people in the camp, and the regiment commanders were all in the city, so there was no one to command them. If they were attacked, it would be difficult to organize manpower to counterattack.

"Captain Alice, I have sent people to ask for help. As long as we guard the city gate, we still have a glimmer of hope." Tony's words gave Alice a glimmer of hope.

"Guard the city gate and kill." Alice could only choose to believe.

Alice immediately led everyone to the city gate to prepare for Bakuzan's attack.

"Damn it!" Alice yelled angrily and rushed towards Bakuzan recklessly.

At this time, Alice's men were all exhausted and could no longer launch effective attacks. But Alice did not intend to give up. She swung her sword and launched a fierce attack on Bakuzan.

Bakuzan had not expected Alice to be so tenacious. He dodged Alice's attack while shouting, "So you are Alice. Surrender, Alice! You have nowhere to go. As long as you join us, I promise that you will be my wife!"

Alice responded angrily: "Dream on! I will not surrender to you!" As she said that, she continued to attack Bakuzan.

However, due to the endless flow of Bakuzan's army, Alice's defeat is inevitable.

Bakuzan looked at Alice proudly and said, "How is it? Alice, I told you a long time ago that only by following me can you achieve true victory. Now, do you have anything else to say?"

……

"Lord Alpha, she sent us here because she was afraid that we would steal her credit. Why should we work so hard for her?" Lina pulled Alpha's clothes and complained about the assigned task.

"Bach, Fattam, Rowling, Lina, gather your troops immediately and follow me to the battlefield." Alpha ignored Lina's temper.

"Yes." Everyone dared not to neglect.

Ten minutes later, the army rushed to the battlefield. Even the signalman who asked for help found such a speed of preparation incredible.

A ten-kilometer journey only takes this team about ten minutes.

After arriving and seeing the attacked camp, Alpha immediately ordered: "Fatam Team 1, follow me to attack the bandit camp, and the rest of you stay to rescue the camp.

Ten minutes later, Bach left the battle and went up the mountain to provide support.

Twenty minutes later, Rowling's troops left the battle and went up the mountain to provide support.

Lina's troops will lead the remaining soldiers to support after killing the bandits." Alpha said, and immediately led the team to attack the bandit camp.

"Sister, our reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here." Seeing the torches coming up the mountain, Tony shouted immediately without caring whether it was the enemy or rescue.

"Maybe that's our victorious army returning triumphantly." Bakuzan's suspicion was not unreasonable.

However, Tony's shout ignited hope in the desperate knight. No matter whether it was an enemy or a friend, he must not give up until the situation was clear.

"It's Captain Alpha, our reinforcements have arrived." Tony saw the reinforcements and shouted excitedly.

"The city gates are closed. What if reinforcements arrive? Why are you so excited?" Bakuzan occupied the city gates, and Tony and others could only retreat to the outer city wall and fight stubbornly.

Tony knew the truth but couldn't refute it.

"I'll go take back the city gate." Alice wiped the blood off her face and rushed forward without hesitation.

"My little darling, you are mine." Bakuzan, who had gathered his strength, seized the opportunity and immediately attacked.

"Sis, be careful." It was too late for Tony to remind her. Bakuzan's sneak attack had knocked Alice's weapon away.

Before Alice could react, Bakuzan had already captured Alice.

"My dear, I'll let you have meat tonight." With a beauty in his arms, Bakuzan had no time to direct the battle.

"Monkey, Hawkeye, follow me and climb up the city wall." With the monkey's skills, it was easy for him to climb up the city wall.

Alpha suddenly exerted force and threw the long sword out, and at the same time, he took Lilia and rushed towards the city wall in a few steps, and flew up by stepping on the handle of the long sword.

"Sister." Tony roared angrily as he looked at the captured Alice.

"Monkey Eagle Eye, support me and cooperate with me." Alpha jumped directly off the ten-meter city wall and snatched a bandit's horse and spear.

With Lilia's precise shooting and coordinated attacks, Alpha actually caught up with Bakuzan.

"It's you again." When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous. Bakuzan picked up a big knife and was about to kill him, but he never let go of the woman in his arms.

"Kill." After all, Alice is his sister-in-law, and Alpha can't just stand by and watch her die.

The two men's weapons collided with a loud noise, and the two couldn't help but be surprised at each other's strength.

"Kill him for me!" Bakuzan was unwilling to fight with Alpha, especially at this moment. After all, enjoying the woman in his arms was more important.

"Kill!" Alpha didn't care about saving energy at this time. He galloped on his horse and waved his spear. Unfortunately, the tip of the spear hit the enemy's armor and did not produce the expected concussion effect.

"Oh no! Wood cannot exert the power of discipline." Alpha immediately realized that the power of discipline can only work on metal objects.

Alpha simply used the spear as a javelin and threw it into the sky, aiming at Bakuzan's back. At the same time, he snatched the big knife from a bandit, jumped up, and rushed towards Bakuzan. At this time, Alpha seemed to be possessed by a demon, unstoppable and extremely powerful.

"Take my blow!" Bakuzan sensed Alpha's fierce attack and quickly dodged backwards, avoiding Alpha's fatal blow.

"Kill!" Alpha's face was fierce and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Bakuzan instinctively felt a strong sense of danger and leaned back involuntarily. At this moment, the gun barrel slammed into the weapon in Bakuzan's hand, and with a loud "bang", Bakuzan's blade broke.

If Bakuzan had not retreated in time, he would have been cut in half by Alpha. Even so, Alpha's sharp blade still left two deep wounds on Bakuzan's chest and half of his face.

"You can never get what I can't get." The tyrannical Bakuzan ignored the blood on his body, picked up the broken knife and slashed at the fallen Alice, not caring at all that Alpha would lend a helping hand at any time.

But Bakuzan forgot that Rowling's arrows never missed, and one arrow pierced his shoulder. In pain, Bakuzan was forced to retreat into the crowd.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alpha picked up Alice and ran away.

Faced with such a ruthless Alpha, the bandits did not dare to move forward for a while.

Bakuzan roared, and the bandits dared to attack. Unfortunately, ordinary bandits were no match for Alpha.

Monkey provided support when Alpha, Tony and Hawkeye resisted the attack, and finally Alpha led the city gate protection team to recapture the city gate again.

"I can walk by myself." After resting for a while, Alice, whose strength gradually recovered, struggled to get down.

"Be careful." Alpha kicked the bolt open and turned around while ordering the city gate guards, "Guard the city gate for me. Don't let the enemy in."

With a creaky sound, the heavy city gate was slowly opened with the push of several heavily armored knights such as Fattam.

"It's the heavy cavalry, run." Seeing the heavy cavalry outside the door, the bandits in the front row collapsed and fled instantly. Bakuzan was furious, and tried to let his men continue attacking while roaring.

"Why are you running? There are only a few of them." Bakuzan roared and ordered the bandits to fight back again.

"Lord Alpha, the second regiment of reinforcements has arrived." At this time, Bach's troops also arrived.

There was not much space in the outer city, so Bach had to dismount and become an infantryman, leaving space for the heavily armored knights.

"Lord Alpha, the Third Knight Order is here to support us."

With the arrival of Rowling's knight squad, the bandits in the outer city completely collapsed, especially when Bakuzan closed the inner city gate, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the bandits.

"Kill, kill them."

But Bakuzan's orders were completely ineffective. Seeing the knights of Rowling and the reinforcements of Bach arriving one after another, the bandits' psychological defenses collapsed completely. Especially after the inner city gates were closed, the bandits fled in all directions.

"Put down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed."
