I was a knight in the Middle Ages

The debate did not last long. After Alpha proposed a new defense plan, Grand Duke Houston quickly made a decision. The Grand Duke decided to form a joint army to supplement the fortress defense, and the Chamber of Commerce organized mercenaries to suppress bandits. This plan allowed the three empires, the Church, and the Lords to send troops together, and the Knights were only responsible for defending the city. This made the defense force more concentrated and avoided the risk of soldiers entering and leaving the fortress at will.

In order to make the joint army more effective, the two reached a consensus, that is, each country would send 100 troops, Grand Duke Houston would send another 100 troops, and Alpha would send 100 troops on behalf of the Holy See, so that they could have a military advantage when it was not a tripartite alliance.

In Alpha's opinion, this deployment of troops is very necessary. He is well aware of the future threats, so he hopes to use the power of the joint legion to further enhance the fortress's defense capabilities.

As for the reform plan of the Fortress City, when Alpha took out Liv's plan, all problems were solved. After the tax ratio was redistributed, the mercenaries took 20%, the other parties took 10%, and the remaining 30%, the Chamber of Commerce took 10%, and the Grand Duke took 20%.

"How did you get in touch with the Gust Chamber of Commerce?" The Grand Duke still had great confidence in the credibility of the Gust Chamber of Commerce, even though the person in charge was from the Fatalia Empire.

"I rescued the people of the Gust family in the fortress..." Alpha said it directly without hiding anything.

"Well, I will be responsible for this matter. Leave the rest to me. You take a night's rest and go back to the front line tomorrow!" After all, the basis of everything is to clear out the bandit gangs in the country.

"Yes, Grand Duke." Alpha had just stepped out of the room when Linda was called in. Alpha was unable to take Linda out to reminisce about the past.

"It's you, I'm going to kill you." A familiar voice came, but Alpha remained unmoved.

"Don't run! It's you." The harsh voice echoed in the air, and Alpha dodged out of habit.

"Ah!" A fat body rushed towards Alpha, but was avoided by Alpha. The attacker fell to the ground instantly, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

"You bastard, catch him for me." The fat man roared, but no one stepped forward to arrest him. After all, this is the Grand Duke's Palace, and no one dared to act wildly here without permission.

Hearing the cry for help, a thin middle-aged man squeezed into the crowd and ran towards the fat man in a flattering manner.

"Lord Gurujiv, what's wrong with you? Do you need help?" The middle-aged man flattered the fat man.

"Catch him! Kill him for me!" The fat man pushed all the responsibility onto Alpha. Now he was embarrassed and angry.

"Someone come, there is an assassin, guards, come and catch him." The middle-aged man screamed, his voice making people feel uncomfortable.

"Idiot." Alpha ignored the two and walked outside.

"Catch him, he wants to assassinate the Grand Duke, catch him quickly." The thin man knew the fat man's identity. As long as he could get close to him, he would have all the status and reputation.

"He tripped and fell by himself. Everyone at the scene can prove it." Alpha calmly responded to the guards who surrounded him.

"You stop him and don't do anything extreme. I will investigate the truth." The captain of the guards did not dare to act rashly. He could not afford to offend anyone here. Since Alpha did not take action, the captain of the guards would not use force.

"I will wait for you to find out the truth. You don't need to arrest me." Alpha was not in a hurry. He sat directly at the conference table in the middle of the hall. He even picked up the fine wine and drank it by himself. He also had exquisite desserts. How casual and comfortable he was.

The captain of the guards got the truth. After all, this was the Grand Duke's mansion, and no one dared to tell a lie. Telling a lie and being known by the Grand Duke was not a serious crime, but the job would definitely be lost.

"Respected Lord Gurukifu, this gentleman did not do anything in this matter, so we cannot regard it as a murder. Please forgive me." The captain of the guards will only follow the orders of the city lord and can ignore the orders of anyone else.

"If you don't arrest him, I will report you to the Grand Duke for resisting law enforcement, and you will lose your position." The fat man threatened loudly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Gurujiv, I'm just stating the facts. This gentleman didn't do anything in this matter, so I have no right to arrest him." The captain of the guards is not Gurujiv's lackey, and he will not obey the fat man.

"Okay, wait and see." The fat man threatened loudly.

"Catch him for me. He actually publicly assassinated the Grand Duke's guest. His crime is unforgivable." Suddenly, another wave of knights rushed in from the backyard. The other party did not ask anything and directly wanted to capture Alpha.

"Are you so sure that catching me can solve all problems?" Alpha stepped aside with the wine glass.

"Lord Gurukiev, leave this assassin to me, don't worry." The captain of the backyard guards, Avitas, was obviously acquainted with Gurukiev, and a glance could say everything.

"Avitas, I will report your bravery to my sister." The fat man's greatest reliance is his sister, the Grand Duke's personal secretary and lover.

"Prince Shegurukif, I will make sure that everything is done properly." Avitas has already begun to fantasize about a better life.

"Catch him and send him to prison," Avitas ordered loudly.

Alpha dodged in the crowd, and for a moment the place was in chaos and bustling with activity.

"You have disturbed the Grand Duke's city, which is already a serious crime. I am just enforcing the law impartially." Avitas ordered the soldiers to continue chasing Alpha.

"Stop it, everyone." Suddenly, an order was given and a mature woman in a dress walked out from behind.

"Lord Adila, this man assassinated the Grand Duke's guests and disturbed the Grand Duke's palace. He deserves to be killed. I will arrest him myself now." Avitas knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to take action himself.

"Did you see them hitting people?" Adila's face turned pale. This is the Grand Duke's Palace, and these people really treat it as their home.

"No, but" Avitas tried to argue.

"No buts. You don't ask for facts and just arrest people. You are fired." Adile didn't want to get into trouble. The reason why he could stay in front of the Grand Duke for twenty years was because of his children. He gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Grand Duke, and the most important thing was that he could get things done. If the Grand Duke knew that someone was using his face to do evil things, then his position would be over.

"Gurukiev slipped and deliberately framed others. He must be fined 500 gold coins and get out of the Grand Duke's Palace immediately." Adila would not let anyone have any handle on him.

"Ah! Sister, but..." the fat man still wanted to quibble.

"No buts. A fine of one thousand gold coins." Adila's face was stern and he fined without mercy.

"I'll leave now." The fat man knew his sister's temperament and couldn't argue with her now.

"Dear Lord Alpha, are you satisfied with the handling of this matter?" Adila's gaze turned to Alpha in the crowd.

"I have no objection. As long as the fat guy doesn't bother me, I won't provoke him." Alpha knew very well that Adila's move was intended to show goodwill to him.

"Don't be so complacent. If the Grand Duke hears about this, you will not end up well." At the same time, Adila also threatened loudly.

"I won't look for trouble. I'm leaving the Grand Duke's Palace now." Alpha didn't want to stay here.

Watching Alpha's back as he left, Adila's eyes were filled with confusion. What on earth did the Grand Duke like about the other person? He was just an old-timer.

"Brother-in-law Alpha, why are you here!" Alpha had just stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion and met his acquaintance Tony again.

"I just came back to do some work and will be going back tomorrow. Why didn't you go to the front line? Where is your sister?" Alpha asked casually when he saw that Tony didn't see his sister Alice.

"My sister is commanding at the front line. I came back for something. Brother-in-law, are you coming back to see my sister?" Tony pulled Alpha's arm enthusiastically.

"Yes, I missed your sister very much, so I came back to see her." Alpha answered casually.

"Ah! Then I will go tell Sister Alice that you like her very much, and I will be your matchmaker. I guarantee it will work. Sister has changed her mind about you a lot now. You should strike while the iron is hot and you will win her heart." Tony actually wanted to sell his sister.

"I'm talking about your sister Linda, not the same person." Alpha argued.

"It's all the same. If you like Sister Linda, you must like Sister Alice." Tony insisted.

"You go back first, there's trouble coming." Alpha pushed away Tony's arm that was grabbing him.

"What's the trouble? Want to fight? I like it." Tony turned out to be a problem teenager who liked to fight.

"It could be your uncle, aren't you afraid?" Alpha thought that among the group of men in black in front of him, the one who hated him the most was the fat man Gurukiev.

“那胖子呀！那最好了，我早就想揍他一顿了，总是想要把姐姐嫁给那些比父亲还要老的大公领主，好换取自己的前途。”提到自己的舅舅，托尼的语气中竟然充满了愤慨。

After all, Grand Duke Houston has his own ideas and will not let anyone around him do whatever he wants. Gurukiev can't do whatever he wants. He was called back this time because of the Qishan City incident. Gurukiev went too far.

"He's your uncle after all, you'd better stay away from him!" Alpha pushed Tony away.

"You are Alpha, right? You know that you have offended someone, right?" A group of men in black surrounded him.

"Avitas, right!" Alpha pointed directly at the person who spoke.

"How did you know?" Avitas asked in surprise after removing the veil.

"Do you know why you were taken down?" Alpha found it funny that the knight commander in front of him was flattering the horse but ended up flattering it.

"why?"

"Who do you think is in charge of the Grand Duke's Palace?" Alpha asked back.

"Of course it's the Grand Duke."

"So do you listen to the Grand Duke, or to someone else?"

"Of course it's the Grand Duke."

"I was invited by the Grand Duke, but you arrested me without any reason. You tried to please Adila, but you offended the Grand Duke. You said you offended the Grand Duke, so how could Adila cover up for you?" Alpha analyzed the reasons why Avitas was taken down.

"So what? Can you still run away now?" Avitas pushed all the questions to Alpha.

"I'm just reminding you that it's better not to flatter some people. If you flatter the wrong people, no one will protect you." After saying this, Alpha picked up the wood on the ground and rushed into the crowd.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks...

After dozens of blows, all the thugs fell to the ground.

Alpha walked towards the fattest punk.

"Brother Alpha, leave him to me." Tony grabbed his ankle and kicked the punk hard in the stomach.

"Wait, stop it." Adila's voice suddenly sounded. She came over and Tony's face changed when he saw the familiar face. "Mother."

Tony immediately put down the stick in his hand, stood aside, and respectfully called Adila "Mother".

"Sister, he beat me." The fat man took off his veil, revealing a bruised face.

"Ah, this is my uncle! Why did you join them in attacking Alpha?" Tony asked loudly, pretending to know nothing.

"Alpha, these are the 500 gold coins that Gurukiev fined me. This matter ends here and no one is allowed to mention it again." Adila threw a bag of gold coins to Alpha.

"No problem, I'm leaving now." Alpha was penniless and needed the money. After taking the money, Alpha disappeared instantly.

"Brother-in-law." Tony also wanted to follow.

"Go back, both of you." Adila shouted angrily.

As soon as Adila left, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared and arrested everyone. From then on, Avitas never appeared in front of the public again.

……

Linda lay in Alpha's arms and asked in a tender voice, "Alpha, I heard that you beat up the Lord of Gurujiv today?"

Alpha caressed Linda's delicate body, his eyes full of tenderness, and said nonchalantly: "It's a small matter, don't worry."

Linda saw Alpha's gaze and couldn't help but get scared. She begged, "Alpha, you're not thinking about it again! We've done this three times. I really can't bear your whipping so many times."

Alpha originally wanted to do it again, but seeing how tired Linda looked, he had to give up the idea and said gently, "Okay! I'll just hold you, okay?"

Linda took Alpha's arm and said excitedly, "Alpha, I'll take you to choose equipment. I heard that father just received a batch of new equipment from the Church, and those are all blessed by light."

A batch of new equipment had just arrived at the Grand Duke's warehouse in the afternoon, and Linda couldn't wait to bring it to her sweetheart.

Alpha was also very happy: "Great! My equipment just happened to be broken too."

Not long ago, Alpha's armor was shattered by a palm from the Heavenly Master. Now he is using standard equipment, and his defense is really average.

"Come on, I want you to hold me." Linda had no strength at all, so she could only let Alpha hold her. Alpha smiled and agreed: "Okay, let's go together."

"Alpha, these three sets of armor are what my father just got. The Holy See has bestowed divine blessings on you. They include healing, negative energy dispelling, and speed bonus." Linda waved three sets of gleaming armor in her hands, looking at Alpha expectantly.

"I haven't noticed the purple-gold chain mail in the corner before." Alpha was a little surprised to see the equipment flashing with purple light in the corner. After all, most of the equipment here is plate armor and heavy armor, and chain mail is a light armor and is not very popular.

"That set of chain mail was from the Holy War launched by the Church against the Eastern Empire hundreds of years ago. An Eastern general fought the Church for ten years and died of exhaustion. This set of chain mail belonged to him." Linda recounted the story with a tone full of reverence. "It is said that this set of equipment can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to repair itself. It was already in tatters during the war, and it took hundreds of years to recover to its current state."

Alpha put on the gloves and felt pretty good. The gloves were not damaged due to their age. The key was that he could use the shock force that he was good at.

"Alpha, you are not going to choose this set of chain mail, are you? No, the defense of this equipment is too low, it is not suitable for you." Linda strongly objected. She wanted Alpha to choose one of the three equipment. "There are so many good equipment, why do you have to choose the one with the worst defense."

"Linda, I know my abilities. No matter how good the equipment is, it will be the same to me. This set of equipment suits me." Alpha hugged Linda and kissed her hard, then he calmed Linda down.

"No, you have to pick another set." Linda kept pestering Alpha, insisting that he pick another set. She was not satisfied until Alpha picked out a set of plate armor.

As night fell, Alpha knew he couldn't let Linda return alone.

"Linda, I'll take you home," he said.

"Well, remember not to be a vanguard on the battlefield. Protect yourself first..."
