I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Lord Alpha, conspiracy, captives, enemy!" Suddenly, Alpha heard someone shouting, and in the panic he could only vaguely hear one word, conspiracy. It was Monkey and Rowling who came, but their voices were too chaotic, and Alpha couldn't hear anything clearly.

"Go!" Seeing that the plan was exposed, Arras immediately raised the alarm, pulled the hanging basket up and fled. At the same time, two cages containing prisoners were also pulled up.

Suddenly, Alpha squatted down, quickly passed through the protective circle, and rescued the last two female knights in the cage.

However, the enemy was not ambushed in the trench, but under the mound. At the command, dozens of bandits rushed out. At the same time, the liquid in the gully ignited a raging fire.

"Fight out." Alpha broke out with the hostages under the protection of a large shield.

Just as Alpha was about to leave, his legs were tightly held by four women.

"Get out of the way!" Alpha pushed away the large shield warrior who was about to help him, and at the same time used the force to jump back suddenly.

With a loud bang, the falling rocks hit the place where Alpha had just stood.

"You guys retreat first, don't worry about me." Three knights and two female captives rushed out, while the others were blocked by falling rocks.

"Hurry to the city wall!" The enemy is merciless. They will not let go of the ambushing bandits and the woman holding Alpha.

Alpha knocked out several women who were still holding him and threw them against the city wall.

"You guys lie down next to the city wall, walk slowly, don't be in a hurry, their target is me, you will be fine if you don't get close to me." The stones from the city wall could not hit them, as long as they were not shot by the archers on both sides, Alpha held up a large shield and advanced forward little by little.

However, at the protruding corner, archers, falling rocks and kerosene could all be targeted, but Alpha didn't seem to notice and continued to move forward along the wall.

Sure enough, the moment the big shield moved to the corner, arrows, falling rocks and kerosene arrived as expected, and the big shield was instantly engulfed by flames.

The fire lasted for more than ten minutes. Even if Alpha was not killed by the falling rocks, he would have been burned to death by the kerosene. If not burned to death, he would have been suffocated.

The flames in the ravine outside slowly died down, thick smoke blocked out the sky, and nothing could be seen near the city wall. Everyone looked at the tragic scene in despair, and Alpha was swallowed up mercilessly.

"No, Lord Alpha will not die." Lina wanted to rush in, but was hugged by Nellore.

"Ino, hold Lina. Captain Will, help me dig a passage to the base of the enemy's wall." At this time, flames, bows and arrows, falling rocks, and kerosene were all used at the same time. No matter how many people went over, it would be of no avail.

"It's all my fault for being a little slow." The monkey limped into the battlefield. "If it weren't for those female prisoners pulling him, Alpha would have gotten out safely." The monkey looked at the burning flames in despair.

"Monkey, don't despair. Lord Alpha is not dead yet. We must believe in him." Lilia took a step forward. In front of her, the raging fire, the thick smoke, and the obstacles formed by piles of earth blocked her vision, making it difficult for her to see what was going on inside.

"Stop attacking and watch your step. Once you find the enemy approaching, shoot immediately to drive them back." Bahot also couldn't see the situation below clearly, but he would never tolerate giving any enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

"It's all my fault. If I had seen them digging a ditch, I should have filled it up. Lord Alpha wouldn't be in danger now." Rowling looked at the battlefield with self-blame.

"This is not your fault. No one knew that the enemy was so shameless and that these prisoners would actually rebel." Will is now the highest commander on the battlefield. He knows that internal strife cannot occur now.

"No matter what, we can't despair until we see Alpha himself." Lilia remained absolutely rational. She knew that it was not time to despair completely.

"Yes, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up." Fattam stood up.

"We have rescued three more." The excavation team has dug to the base of the wall and is working desperately to rescue them.

"It's these women. They are the ones who harmed Lord Alpha." Lina clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Looking at the rescued women, she was furious and was about to rush forward.

"Lina, don't be willful. There are only four women involved in the betrayal. Let's confirm all the rescued people and gather them together. We can't let a bad guy go, nor can we wrongly accuse a good guy." Tasli stood up.

"Rowling, gather all the women together. I want to see who betrayed justice and everyone." These knights were brought up by Tasli. How could she not be heartbroken when such a thing happened?

"Keep digging. Don't stop until you find Alpha." The digging team dug deeper and deeper along the wall. Even though they had dug out the shield that was blocking Alpha, they still didn't find Alpha's body.

"How could this be? There's not even a bone left?" Tasli couldn't believe it. Could it be that Alpha had been burned to ashes?

"Don't talk nonsense, how could it be burned to ashes?" Rowling's face showed hope. As long as Alpha was not found, it meant that Lord Alpha was fine for the time being.

"Let's interrogate these four traitors first!" Rowling suggested. The four people had been recognized. Although the scene was chaotic, there were still countless eyes watching, so it was not difficult to recognize them.

"Why did you betray us? We tried so hard to save you, why did you do this? What benefits did the bandits give you?" Tasli looked at the four girls in front of her in disbelief. How could they become like this?

"The bandits promised to let us go." A woman stated the bandits' conditions in a serious manner.

"But you have been released." Tasri roared angrily.

The two women suddenly realized that the freedom they had been pursuing was right before their eyes, so why did they choose to betray?

"This is battlefield syndrome, a kind of hypnosis. People with weak willpower and those who have been tortured for a long time may fall into it. Their subjective consciousness will close itself off and form an instinctive reaction." Rowling came out to explain.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tasli, we were wrong." The two regretted their decision and wondered why they were so stupid.

"What about Lin and Aoi? There's no way you two will surrender." Tasri knew them very well. They wouldn't betray on their own initiative. There must be another hidden story.

"Lady Tasli, they took my brother away. He is my only relative and I can't lose him." Aoi cried bitterly, heartbroken.

"They also captured my family. If I didn't do as I was told, they would kill them in front of me. I had no choice," Lin said helplessly.

"Silly girl, even if you obey, do you think the bandits will really let you and your family go? What you are doing is just drinking poison to quench thirst, it is meaningless." Tasli did not believe that the bandits would show mercy and let anyone go.

"Oh no! The enemy has left the village." Lilia sounded the alarm.

"Rowling, Bach, Fattam, Tasli, attack on all fronts and don't give the bandits any chance to take advantage." The knights were already ready and prepared to fight at any time.

"Captain Will, the enemy situation is urgent now, and we still need to use the previous tactics. We must not let the enemy know that Lord Alpha has not yet appeared." Rowling approached Will and reminded him softly.

"Yes, I understand." Will nodded. "Fatambah, you lead the left wing of the cavalry regiment; Tasli, you lead the right wing. The entire army will be deployed on both wings."

Will was commanding the battle from the center. "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. We now have nearly eight hundred cavalrymen, but only five hundred of them are real cavalrymen. The remaining two hundred or so soldiers have just received training, but they are also able to fight on horseback. I will leave these three hundred soldiers in the center to support the front line."

In fact, these 300 central cavalry were just infantry riding on war horses. Everyone knew it, but the enemy was completely unaware of it.

"Quinn, contact Robin Hood's troops and ask them to support the feint attack on the bandit camp. There is no need to support us." Will gave the order decisively.

"Order."

"Lilia, you must always pay attention to the enemy's movements. The mission to find Alpha cannot stop." Will will not give up Alpha.

"Order."

……

"Brother, give me five hundred cavalrymen, and I will take off the enemy's heads for you and use them as urinals." Bahot looked at Bahom with expectation.

"Captain Truss, this opportunity is rare and will never come back. We must seize the chance and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop while the enemy leader is away." Bahom had less than two hundred cavalrymen left and had no capital to attack, so he could only ask Truss for help.

"Are you sure that guy is really dead?" Truss was still worried.

"Their people have been digging tunnels to advance, there's nothing wrong with that." Bahot wanted to fight now.

"Okay, I'll give you three hundred cavalrymen. If the enemy outnumbers you, come back immediately." Captain Truss also knew that in the current situation, attacking would only benefit them and would not cause any harm.

"Captain Truss, aren't three hundred cavalry too few?" Bahot was not a reckless man, and three hundred cavalry were of no use at all.

"This is a reconnaissance unit. If the enemy is defeated because of the loss of their leader, I will order an immediate attack." Truss must now be cautious.

Bahot could only lead 300 cavalrymen plus 200 cavalrymen temporarily gathered by Bahom to attack the village, and even the hostages exchanged today were used.

"Captain Truss, the enemy has 800 cavalry on both wings of the center army, and 300 to 400 ambushes in the dense forests on both sides. We can't attack!" An alarm came from Arras.

The enemy's cavalry seems to be strong, both in quantity and quality, and its strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, the enemy has two divisions in the north and south to support each other, so we must not take any risks.

"Impossible, how could the enemy have so many troops?" Bahom didn't believe Aras's intelligence.

"Captain Bahom, look at the situation below. The two wings of the central army are all visible cavalry regiments. They cannot be faked. Even if we count them one by one, there are at least seven or eight hundred people. The ambushes on the two wings are at least one or two hundred!" Arras became angry when he was questioned like this.

"I'm not questioning you, I'm just worried that this time you're deceiving us just like before." Bahom also has his own channels, but there are too many variables on the battlefield.

"Let the Bahot cavalry retreat immediately and not engage in head-on combat with the enemy." Truus now only wanted to defend the city quietly until the enemy was defeated without a fight.

"Kill." But Bahot didn't listen to the military order at all and was ready to go forward and kill the enemy.

"Crazy! Alas asked my troops to come back immediately." Five hundred to one thousand, Bahot is either a madman or a fool.

"Captain Truss, we should send troops to support us." Bahom disagreed with the other party.

"Captain Bahom, we don't have enough military strength now. Even if our entire army attacks and destroys the enemy, we will suffer heavy losses. It will be a question whether the remaining people can defend the fortress." Truss firmly disagreed with such an action.

The two had different goals. Truss wanted to destroy the stability here, delay the enemy's military strength, consume the enemy's material and financial resources, and most importantly, a protracted war. The longer the war lasted, the more blood would be shed. Regardless of the success or failure of this battle, it would never be possible in the future. The key point was that the loss this time was too great, so he would have no place to stand in the village.

"Kill." Bach and Tasli were both warriors who fought head-on and fiercely. Facing the attacking enemies, they were not afraid at all. They led their three hundred soldiers and bravely moved forward to launch a charge.

"Kill." Bahot was also the same warrior, and the two teams collided in an instant.

Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! However, just as the battle was in full swing, the horn of retreat suddenly sounded, and the two teams that had just fought desperately retreated. Only Bahot and his two hundred cavalrymen were left in disarray in the wind.

"Retreat." Although Bahot was belligerent, he was not stupid. Facing an enemy five times his size, he made a wise choice - escape.

"Chase! The entire army should chase for two kilometers." Will gave an order, and Rowling and Fattam in the jungle also joined the battlefield and launched a charge.

"Oh my god, so many enemies." Bahot was shocked and urged his horse to run at full speed. If they were caught by the enemy, they would not be able to escape.

The cavalry was fleeting in their running, and in the blink of an eye, the two-kilometer distance had reached its limit.

"Retreat." Five hundred cavalrymen came and went like the wind and retreated in an instant.

"Where is Lilia?" Will returned to the camp and did not find anyone, so he immediately asked the sentry.

"Lady Lilia has gone to the front to look for Lord Alpha." The sentry replied, sounding a little worried and scared. After all, Will had previously ordered all the captains not to go to the front to look for him. Obviously, if it weren't for Will and Rowling's pressure, everyone would have gone to the front to look for Alpha. Will had just left, so how could Lilia still be waiting for news alone in the back?

"Nonsense, hurry up and get Lilia back, it's too dangerous ahead." Will ordered. The team digging the tunnel had already suffered more than a dozen casualties due to the enemy's bows and arrows and falling rocks. Now the battle ahead was urgent and the risk factor was extremely high.

"I'm back, Captain Will." Lilia walked back with her head lowered and a gloomy expression.

"Have you found Lord Alpha?" Lina asked nervously.

Lilia shook her head dejectedly and said, "No."

"Keep digging. If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body." Will ordered anxiously.

"Will, I want to talk to you alone." Suddenly, Lilia looked up and said to Will.

"You tell me! It's just the two of us now. Can I handle the news about Lord Alpha?" The only thing the two had in common was Alpha.

"Captain Will, our excavation work must be stopped."

"I can't stop until I find Alpha." Will looked at Lilia in confusion.

"What I mean is that we should announce to the public that Lord Alpha has been found, stop all open excavation work, and conduct the excavation in private." Lilia was of course worried about Alpha's situation, but such an open excavation would have a huge impact on our morale.

"I understand. Let Rowling and the others come in and we can discuss it together."
