I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Report - Lord Alpha, it's bad, the gate of the enemy camp is open, and a large number of troops are pouring out." A soldier ran over breathlessly to report the enemy situation.

"Looks like we have to put our 'delicious food' on hold." Alpha couldn't help but sigh. The enemy suddenly emerged and the situation was urgent, so they had to abandon their original plan.

"Let's go to the front line together. The enemy shouldn't attack at this time." Alpha said as he put on his armor and hurried to the front line. The others quickly followed.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy is not attacking us, but digging trenches." Rowling looked at the enemy's actions with a puzzled look on her face.

Alpha frowned. "Trenches? Do they have guns?"

"Could it be that they don't want us to charge on horseback?" Tasli guessed.

"In that case, Alpha won't be able to dodge quickly and will always be under the threat of the enemy." Fattam said worriedly.

"It's okay. Although our speed will be affected, we can hide in the trenches and evacuate quickly when we encounter danger. Let the soldiers dig trenches for me and connect these trenches together." Alpha made a prompt decision and prepared to take countermeasures.

"Okay, we'll arrange the personnel right away." Will was responsible for mobilizing the laborers, and these things were easy for him.

"Rolin, Bach, you hold on here and report to me immediately if anything happens. The rest of the people go back and rest!" Alpha knew that he couldn't ask all the responsible persons to waste time here just because of the enemy's inexplicable actions. In the end, nothing would be achieved, and it would also be a blow to morale.

In the end, the bandits dug trenches all night long until the second half of the night, because they couldn't tell which trench was ambushed, and they didn't dare to act rashly. The bandits only left three deep and wide trenches, and the dirt and stones dug out between these trenches had piled up to half a person's height, which made it impossible for people to see what was going on inside. There was only one narrow passage connecting the inside and the outside, less than one meter wide, and it was winding. The enemy obviously didn't want Alpha and his team to pass quickly.

After the bandits left, Rowling led the assault team into the enemy's trenches, on the one hand to check if there were any people hiding, on the other hand to observe the depth, width, location and other data of the trenches, and simultaneously make a sand table model of the trenches to facilitate subsequent command. Will's engineers had already dug the connection between the trenches and the outside world, and were now discussing with Rowling how to deal with it.

Finally, the two men discussed and decided to dig a passage between the two gullies of the other side to connect them, so that if there was a situation, everyone could escape quickly. When they finished all this, the morning star had slowly risen, and the dawn was about to illuminate the earth.

"Lord Alpha, this is a sand table model that we restored one to one based on the terrain data. The black part is the trenches dug by the bandits, and the white part was built by us. We also dug a longitudinal passage every two meters between the three trenches they dug, so that even if you encounter danger, Lord Alpha can safely hide." While introducing the sand table, Rowling explained the emergency avoidance measures to Alpha.

"They dug a passage like this, with gullies, mounds, and winding narrow paths. It's obvious that they don't want Lord Alpha to leave easily. But what's the point of doing this? Do they want to ambush Lord Alpha from the mountain?" Lina was full of confusion.

"That's impossible! The cliffs of the mountain stronghold are more than a hundred meters deep. As long as we detect the enemy's movements, we can jump into the ravine to hide. Unless we trap Lord Alpha and make him unable to move." Ino also found it difficult to understand.

"Where is the enemy's nearest city gate? How far is it from here?" Alpha knew that this section of the city wall could only be accessed by a hanging basket, but he was still unclear about where the enemy's city gate was.

"The enemy's stronghold has two gates, located in the north and south directions. The nearest gate is about 500 meters to the south. As soon as the gate is opened, we will sound the alarm. They can't come so quickly." Rowling pointed to the location of the gate.

"There's no way they can intercept me in a head-on attack." Alpha knew that making such a big fuss was completely meaningless.

"What if they fill the passage with water and poison it?" Fattam suddenly asked.

"Impossible! It's winter now, how much water do they need?" Will thought it was simply a fantasy.

"Has the monkey come back?" Alpha remembered that the monkey had run to the enemy camp to spy on intelligence and had not returned yet.

Alpha is waiting here for news. Theoretically, it shouldn't take too long and he should be back soon.

……

"Brother, I have made all the arrangements. The ambushers below are just baits, and the real killers are the ones we planted from above. They will never imagine that the person they rescued would turn against his master." Bahot is an out-and-out conspirator, and he has endless evil schemes.

"Can't they be trusted? After all, they regard us as enemies." The bandits in the mountains did not regard these female knights as human beings at all. They were just tools for satisfying their desires. Often a group of men would bully them together and poke holes in the useless places on their bodies with knives.

"Don't worry, I promised them that I would release them after the mission is completed." Bahot's words were a complete lie, but those desperate women actually believed it.

"If the environment changes and they realize they have been released, they are likely to recover?" Truss understood this hypnosis technique. A change in environment would greatly reduce the effectiveness of hypnosis.

"I will send someone to blindfold them to reduce their reaction time. Hypnosis is only one of the plans. I will also group those sisters who have a close relationship. When the mission is completed, I promise to let both of them go." Bahot threw out the bait again. Of course, who knows how feasible this is.

"Who is it?" Bahot suddenly looked at the door of the conference room and kicked it open. Unfortunately, no one answered, and Bahot wasted his energy in vain.

"Chief Bahot, are you hallucinating?" Alas questioned.

"Impossible, I heard someone lurking at the door. Guards, guards!" Bahot had amazing hearing, so there was no way something could go wrong, but after calling out several times there was no response.

"Oh no! The spy has escaped!" Bahot jumped up, turned around and saw the guard's neck was cut.

"Be sure to capture the traitor!" Bahot ordered loudly.

……

"You again?" Bahot finally found the lurking enemy in the corner. Although the opponent's appearance had changed, his body shape, flexible speed and pace exposed his identity - the spy from Joyce Village.

"Yes, it's me. You didn't kill me last time, so you won't be able to catch me this time." The monkey smiled contemptuously and instantly dodged Bahot's attack.

"Block all the exits, I don't believe I can't catch you." Bahot hated the little monkey who caused him to lose his village.

But the monkey did not bother with it too much. The most important thing now was to escape. His own life was not important, but Lord Alpha must not be in danger.

However, the monkey eventually discovered that Bahom and his men had guarded every passage, making it impossible for him to escape. In desperation, the monkey had no choice but to flee backwards and take a long detour.

"Chief Bahot, it's almost time for us to start exchanging prisoners." Suddenly, Alas reminded while looking at the sunrise in the distance.

"Okay, now even if the opponent goes down, there is no chance." Bahot let go of the slippery monkey. He knew that information without the time effect would be like a piece of waste paper.

The monkey was cornered and the situation was very critical. He knew he had to find a way to escape and deliver the information to Master Alpha. So he began to use his intelligence to find a solution to the problem.

The monkey looked around and found a ventilation duct that seemed to lead to the outside. However, the ventilation duct was narrow and poorly ventilated, which was a huge challenge for the agile monkey.

However, the monkey did not back down. He resolutely began to climb the ventilation duct. Although it was narrow and dark inside, he still moved forward firmly. After a long and arduous climb, the monkey finally reached the end of the ventilation duct and saw an open space in front of him.

The monkey took a deep breath and jumped to the ground. Unexpectedly, this was the enemy's rear platform, and there was no one guarding it.

The monkey looked around the cliffs and immediately understood why the bandits had not sent troops to guard this excellent location. The surrounding areas were sunken, and this was basically an enclave, and it was impossible to climb up from below.

But this did not bother the monkey. Even though it was in danger and without any safety measures, the monkey still climbed down without hesitation.

"Lord Alpha, I have brought the people to you. Don't you want to come and inspect them?" Arras shouted across the ditch.

"Aino, give these clothes and water to those women." Alpha ordered. These women were stripped naked and starved for several days. The bandits only gave them the minimum resources to sustain their lives.

"Okay." Ino immediately took people with clothes and water to run for support.

"Let them do it themselves." Alpha stopped Ino from doing it. His goal was not only to restore their physical strength. Only those with strong willpower and perseverance would pay attention to their sense of shame now. Those who put on clothes first were Alpha's first targets for rescue.

"Put your things down, Ino, and come back soon." Alpha wanted to see these women put on their clothes by themselves.

"Yes." Ino would not refute any orders from Alpha now.

"Lord Alpha, what do you mean? Don't you want to complete the transaction?" Seeing that Alpha was reluctant to come over, Arras immediately urged him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Everyone is on your side anyway." Alpha knew that the other party would not open the iron cage unless he saw him coming over.

"We can exchange now. Start from the cages on the far right and exchange them one by one." Alpha said and started to walk forward.

"How to exchange? Lord Alpha, did you see it clearly?" Arras asked curiously.

"All those who are dressed properly are considered normal people." Alpha counted them, a total of ten. He waved his hand, and the prisoners at the back began to be brought up.

"Okay, Alpha, come over and take the hostages!" Alas urged again.

"Exchange one by one, everyone be honest, I'll take your turn after I turn a corner." In order to avoid any more trouble, Alpha wanted to rescue more hostages in advance.

"Okay." After getting the leader's consent, Alas now only wanted to lure Alpha into the encirclement.

After releasing the three hostages, Alpha successfully entered the base of the city wall, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Why aren't you going to exchange hostages?" Alpha stood against the wall, and the five shield warriors were like a solid wall, ready to prevent the enemy from attacking. At this time, Alpha was anxious, and his right eye kept twitching.

"We need to verify our identities to prevent spies from sneaking in!" Aslan delayed in every possible way, standing on the hanging basket and looking around, as if ready to escape at any time. The feeling of impending storm was getting stronger and stronger.

"Then take your time to check it, and we'll come back after you're done." Alpha was about to leave, he didn't want to continue this meaningless conversation. Alpha had a feeling that the other party wanted to collapse the wall and crush him to death.

"No need, we have verified the identity, we can exchange with the next person." Aslan saw Alpha was about to leave, and immediately agreed to continue the exchange. Although he was weak and slow in action, he was quite smart.

"Let's change all five of them out together!" Alpha looked at the captives in the cage and wanted to see all the team members at once.

"That won't work. We have to exchange them one by one." Aslan flatly refused. His purpose was to delay time. He knew that the leader and his men had already started preparations and would not let Alpha escape easily, so he would never exchange all five warriors.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the transaction progressed very slowly. By noon, there were still two captives in the cage.

"Lord Alpha, do you smell anything?" The soldier named Charlie, who was protecting Alpha's deputy, smelled a pungent odor in the air.

"Go and look around." How could Alpha not smell it?

"Lord Alpha, this time we will exchange three, one in the cage and two outside. What do you think?" Arras knew that the people in the cages could not be released all the time. If he did not release the people in the cages, he would not be able to get Alpha's attention. Especially when he saw a guard leaving to check the surroundings, Arras became even more anxious.

"Just the two of them." Alpha pointed to the two well-dressed women outside.

"How many hostages?" Alas deliberately changed the subject.

"Ten." Before Alpha finished speaking, thirty hostages were brought up.

"Lord Alpha, a large amount of green viscous liquid has flowed into those gullies." Charlie noticed something was wrong and shouted a warning.

"Lord Alpha, this is our domestic sewage. It's normal to dump it here!" Arras lied with his eyes open.

"Is your domestic sewage green?" Charlie couldn't help but retort.

"It's inevitable when there are so many people and so many things going on." Alas tried his best to explain.

"No need to explain, let them go immediately." In fact, both parties knew the truth. Alpha also understood that this was a means for the other party to deal with him. At this moment, the safety of the hostages was the top priority. They could no longer hide in the trenches, and Alpha lost another safe way.

"Lord Alpha, there is danger. They are plotting something, and those captives are also enemies."
