I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 68 Hostage Conspiracy
"One, two..." Early in the morning, the female knights outside had already started their morning exercise training, attracting many men to come and watch.
Tasli is still the same Discipline Knight and has not changed after entering society. On the contrary, Alpha feels inferior to her in this regard.
"Lowlin, why is it so noisy outside? So early in the morning." Alpha squinted his eyes and woke up the lover in his arms. His body had not yet fully recovered, so only Rowling could satisfy his needs.
"It should be Tasli doing morning exercises! She always does this." Rowling curled up in Alpha's arms and didn't want to move at all.
"Let's go out and see. If possible, let Tasli train in the future!" Alpha wanted to throw the training plan away completely so that he would only be responsible for supervision.
"No, I'm so sleepy. I don't want to get up." Rowling squinted her eyes and didn't want to get up at all.
"Then let's exercise." Alpha directly pressed the person in his arms under him.
"Lord Alpha, your body is not well yet. Let me do it!" Rowling pushed Alpha over and sat directly on him.
……
"Respected Captain Truss, we need a victory to awaken the animality deep within us." Bahom looked at Truss on the other side of the conference table. At this moment, there were only four people in the conference room: Truss, Alas, Bahom and Bahot.
"But how can we win?" Arras knew that his superior, Truss, did not want to cause trouble. The bandit coalition, which originally had more than 5,000 people, now only had 3,000 people left, and the cavalry was only a little over 1,000. If they continued to be consumed by Bahom, they would probably run out of money.
"From the last negotiation, we can see that the other party does not care about those prisoners. We can continue to make use of those prisoners." Bahot expressed his opinion.
"You've killed a few of those people again. Now there are less than ten left in the cage." Truss complained unhappily.
When Bahot escaped from the predicament that day, he dragged out two captured female knights. However, two days later, the two knights were already dead. Their naked bodies were covered with scratches and bites. The wounds on their necks were fatal. They were all bitten to death by Bahot. If Truss had not stopped them, the remaining knights would probably have been killed by Bahot.
"As long as the person is alive, it's all the same. Does he still need a virgin?" Bahot didn't care.
"How can a woman captured by us bandits be guaranteed to walk out intact?" Bahot is a real bandit, the kind who will plunder any passing goose.
"It's different this time. That guy is too concerned about his reputation. He will raise the price for any flaw." Bahom has a deep understanding of this.
"But this time we are going to make use of the captives, so we don't have to worry about the number. Just give him those who are dying. I want ten knights for one of them." Bahot Lion opened his mouth.
But everyone scoffed at Bahot's proposal.
"We tried it. Normally we can only exchange five female knights. He doesn't want the one who surrenders to us." Bahom explained.
"Since he doesn't want it, then we can find someone on the city wall to gang rape them and see if he returns it?" Bahot's move was extremely cruel, but it was also a feasible solution.
"If we do this, then we will have no bargaining chips." Arras can be considered a knight, but he joined the bandit camp because of his family and country. However, the way he does things is completely different from that of the bandits.
"Let's exchange first. I'll double it this time. If that doesn't work, then do it my way." Bahot said in a firm tone.
"If we exchange hostages, how are we going to deal with that guy? He can't just come to our city wall and wait to die." Arras continued to ask.
"We can take advantage of the night and ambush our people on both sides of the city wall or bury them underground. As soon as we carry out the exchange, they will rush out and kill us." Bahot has already thought of a countermeasure.
"But if there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed, and if there are too few people, it will be impossible to stop them." Alas questioned again.
"I will arrange for people to leave the city in advance to dig trenches. When they come back, there will be fewer people and no one will notice anything unusual. Moreover, these soldiers are just baits. After trapping them, we will throw a large amount of hot oil and stones." Bahot was performing a series of tricks.
"Where are our people?"
"There are no one from us, they are all enemies." Bahot didn't leave any chance for anyone to survive.
"I think this method is feasible." Bahom agreed with his brother's idea.
"Then who will carry out the plan?" As soon as Arras finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him, and immediately realized that he could not escape.
"Who's outside?" Suddenly Bahot kicked open the wooden door of the conference room.
"It's the servant who served tea." Arras opened the wooden door and found that the servant who had served tea had already died with blood coming out of all his orifices.
"I've never seen this before!" Arras looked at the dead man in confusion.
"Drag him away. Didn't I say that no one is allowed to approach during the meeting?" Bahot looked around, his deep gaze seemed capable of killing.
……
"Tasli, Ino, how are your team members adapting?" Alpha handed the captured knights over to them to deal with, and allowed them to choose reinforcements from the militia at will.
"We have almost recovered and are now discussing how to take revenge." Tasli's eyes were firm and she did not shrink back because of being captured.
"That's good. I will leave the training of my cavalry to you from now on." Alpha handed Tasli a training plan.
"No problem, I will try my best to satisfy you." Tasli took the plan without hesitation.
"Lord Alpha, what is this?" Tasli asked curiously while looking at the training book.
"This is the training plan I wrote. Take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it." Alpha wrote it down from memory based on the special forces training plan he saw on TV in his previous life, and he didn't know if it was applicable.
"All teammates, take a break and have a meal." Tasli waved her hand to dismiss the team members, picked up the plan and read it carefully.
"How is it?" Alpha looked at Tasli, who was sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxed, sometimes puzzled, and sometimes suddenly enlightened, wondering whether this training plan was effective.
"Overall, this plan is more suitable for infantry scouts. There is too little content on personal skill training, while the physical training requirements are too high." Tasli pointed out the problem incisively.
"However, this plan places special emphasis on obedience management. Once the training is successful, orders can be carried out and commands can be implemented smoothly." Tasli also discovered other advantages.
"Then you can modify it according to your own ideas and then submit it to me for review." Alpha thought about it. In the future, there will be guns. Personal skills seem to be secondary to guns.
Alpha was thinking about whether gunpowder could be put into use, but he had never had time to study it.
"I'll leave the training to you. I'll ask Fattam, Rowling and Lilia to come to you to arrange the plan later." Alpha was ready to hand over all the training matters.
"Lord Alpha, I have something important to report." Suddenly, the monkey came running over in a hurry.
Alpha, Rowling, Lilia and the others quickly rushed to the conference room.
"Lord Alpha, today I led people to the enemy camp to gather information and found that the four leaders of the enemy gathered together and seemed to be plotting something. It sounds like a problem about prisoners, and they are going to make something of the prisoners." Monkey only got the first half of the information, and the second half was handled by his teammate, the tea server who was kicked to death.
"Master Alpha, that Alaskan dog is here again?" Lina suddenly shouted. Unexpectedly, just as she mentioned the captives, the bandit camp sent people over.
"Lilia, bring him here. Rowling, go gather everyone outside for training. I want to let that dog see our strength." Now, Alpha has a strong army and is not afraid of the provocation of the bandits.
"Monkey, go call Will and Bach as well." After all, Will was the nominal commander, and Alpha could not act on his own.
……
"You mean you want to exchange prisoners? One normal person for ten prisoners, one abnormal person for five prisoners, and one surrendered person for three prisoners." Arras put forward the conditions cautiously, fearing that he would be hacked to death by Alpha.
The normal ones are the women who were not raped by the bandits. The abnormal ones are those whose bodies were raped but whose wills did not yield. The ones who surrendered are those who have sold their bodies and souls.
"Aren't you afraid that I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs?" Alpha threatened loudly.
"Sir, these are all Bahot's ideas, and there is nothing I can do. He said that if you don't agree, he will arrange for people to pin the prisoners on the city wall and rape them in front of everyone." Arras has given up everything now.
"Hostages can be exchanged, but at least 20 people must be exchanged, and at least half of them must be normal people. Otherwise, this exchange is off the table." Alpha knew that this might be his last chance. If he didn't agree, even if he killed Arras, the other party would most likely commit inhumane atrocities.
"Eight normal hostages, and we will choose the rest." Alas finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his life was saved.
"Yes." Alpha looked at Lilia and got a positive answer from her. In the iron cage, there were only eight knights who had not surrendered.
"Okay, I'll go back and report, and we'll exchange the hostages tomorrow morning." Alas knew that Bahot needed time to make arrangements, and he had to leave enough time.
"Okay, but you can't move the eight hostages on the city wall at will, otherwise the deal will be cancelled." Alpha guessed that the other party must have some ulterior motive. He didn't want to see the other party torture and abuse the prisoners, so he resorted to this bad idea.
After all, Alpha could only sense whether the captives had succumbed to mental pressure, but could not tell whether their bodies had been tortured. If he wanted to examine the captives' bodies carefully, Alpha felt that he could not do it.
"Okay, I'll inform the chief." After agreeing, Arras left the barracks without looking back.
"Lord Alpha, they must have bad intentions. You can't go over to trade. Let me go. I have seen the faces of the knights in the cages, and I can easily tell which ones are disguised as enemies." The monkey tried to stop Alpha from going to exchange hostages, but Alpha ignored him.
"Let me exchange the hostages. These people are my knights and I can't abandon them." Tasli stepped forward and said firmly.
"I'm afraid they're targeting me. If I don't go, they won't agree to exchange hostages." Alpha knew that this was a trap set by the enemy, but he couldn't just watch his knights being held captive by the enemy. If he missed this opportunity, he might never get another chance to rescue them.
"They are so powerful, why would they agree to your final request? This doesn't make sense?" Rowling asked worriedly, frowning.
"Their purpose is not simple. The transaction is just a cover. The other party's real purpose is probably to deal with me." Alpha said shockingly. The reason why Alpha made the final request was to test the other party.
"Then Lord Alpha must not go over there." Rowling firmly opposed Alpha taking risks easily.
"This is the last chance. The other party will never agree to exchange hostages again, otherwise those knights will never be able to escape from their clutches." Alpha is well aware of the pros and cons.
"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Tasli looked at Alpha worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't take risks easily as long as they don't meet any of my conditions." Alpha was scared, but he had to do it.
"I will go to the enemy camp to gather some information at night, Lord Alpha." The monkey could only go and find out more information now.
"Don't force it. As long as they don't come out, they can't deal with me. Lilia, just watch the opponent's sharpshooter." The enemy attacks him from above. Whether it is stones, bows and arrows or other things, it takes time. Alpha is confident that he can run away. Unless the opponent has a sniper rifle, then blame Alpha for the disaster.
"I will arrange the surrounding personnel at night to prevent Lord Alpha from being in danger." Rowling also began to make suggestions.
Everyone talked at once and thought of dozens of ways, but no one had come up with the best solution until dark because they didn't know what tricks the other party had up their sleeves.
"Hey, since everyone is here, why don't we go eat hot pot! Fattam, go to the cafeteria to get the pots, pans, and food, and I'll show you my cooking skills today." Alpha didn't expect that the enemy camp warehouse would have a full range of condiments, but the recipes were too scarce.
"What is hot pot?" Will was full of anticipation. The dumplings he had eaten before made him linger, and now Alpha had introduced new ideas, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"You'll know after you try it." Alpha used horse meat as the base for the spicy soup. There weren't many vegetables on the table, just potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were preservable foods, and the rest were meat. After all, there were many casualties in the battles these days, so there was no need to worry about the horses going bad in the winter.
"Lord Alpha, isn't this just a pot of soup? What's so delicious about it?" Looking at Lord Alpha putting the meat into the boiling soup, Lina couldn't help but complain.
"You'll know once you try it." Lord Alpha began to chew with big mouthfuls of the food, dipping it in the condiments.
"Wow, it's so delicious! So this is hot pot! How come Alpha has such a recipe?" Will looked at the burning charcoal under the hot pot and finally understood the origin of the name hot pot.
“It’s so hot. Lina ate too fast and burned her mouth.
"Eat slowly, why are you in such a hurry? There's flames underneath, how can it not be hot?" Lord Alpha reminded.
Lord Alpha is taking Will, Lina and others to taste this special delicacy - hot pot. As the old Chinese saying goes: "You don't know until you try it, and you can't forget it after you eat it." The hot and spicy taste of hot pot instantly opened the door to a new world for everyone's taste buds.
Everyone quickly mastered the correct way to prepare hot pot, and enjoyed putting various delicious dishes into the pot alternately to experience the different fresh aromas.
Will pays more attention to taste and likes to try different combinations of dishes and different sauces, trying to extend the deliciousness of hot pot through his own efforts. However, Lord Alpha appreciates the atmosphere and culture of hot pot more.
According to Mr. Alpha, in this long-standing hot pot culture, hot pot is not only a way of eating, but also a way of socializing. In the process of eating hot pot, everyone can taste a variety of delicious dishes, and at the same time they can exchange experiences and deepen their understanding of each other, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Will gradually discovered that while eating hot pot, he could communicate with the people around him and share each other's little things. This feeling was very comfortable.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the tent, breaking the pleasant atmosphere. Lina heard the sound and walked out of the tent to check the situation. A soldier ran over in a hurry and reported the enemy situation to Lord Alpha: "Lord Alpha, it's bad, the enemy camp has been opened, and a large number of people have rushed out."
