I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"You two, you have the nerve to come back without completing the mission? Drag them out and let everyone have some fun." Looking at the two female knights who sneaked back, Bahot's face was full of anger. If he handed them over to the beast-like bandits outside, they would surely die, and their death would not be a good one.

After all, the two sides had been at peace for three days without much action. In the current situation, the enemy camp was still as strong as a rock, and even the team that was looking for Alpha withdrew on the second day. All signs showed that the enemy leader had returned safely.

"That's not the case, sir. We have completed the mission and the other commander has not returned at all. Please keep your promise and let my family go." Lin begged loudly.

"Wait, how did you get back?" Suddenly, Captain Truss stopped the bandits from dragging the two female knights out.

"Go out first." Bahom said, and the two bandits had no choice but to obey and put down the fat meat in their mouths.

"They are in a panic now. Even if we betrayed them, they don't have much energy to care about us. They only arranged two people to watch over us. We knocked them out and then ran back secretly." Kui answered carefully.

"What about the other three?" Bahot roared angrily. After all, there were five spies who had rebelled, so how come only two of them came back?

"One did not take any action, and the other two joined us in injuring the guards and then ran away." Lin gave the answer directly.

"How do you know that the other commander hasn't come back?" This is the point that everyone wants to know.

"I saw that person enter the attack area before. There was no way he could survive the rocks and fire. After that, we saw them plotting for a long time, and then they came out and announced that they had found the commander. But when I knocked out the guards and ran out last night, I found that some of them were secretly digging under the city wall." Aoi shared her analysis.

"Lock them up and don't touch them for now." Truss narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"I hope you will keep your promise and let our family go," Lin reiterated.

"Once the news is confirmed, we will arrange for you to get out." Truss is a regular knight and his words are his bond.

"Captain Truss, you're not really going to let them go!" Bahot looked at the other party in surprise.

"Isn't that what you said?" Truss is a true knight. Although he is now colluding with bandits for the sake of the country, at least he is unwilling to openly violate his own doctrine.

"Even if the mission has been completed, I will not let them go." Bahot's face was gloomy, and he had obviously made up his mind.

"Release them and their families among the crowd. I don't care about anything else." Truss only needed to keep his promise in name.

"Why bother with so much trouble? Even if we kill them all now, there will still be people willing to trade with us next time. Human nature is to bet on that impossible result." Although Bahot is a rough man, he has a very accurate grasp of human nature. Bahot knows the purpose of Truss's doing this, but he disagrees. After all, this is a bandit's nest, and the hostages are not fixed, but exchanged in batches.

"According to the information provided by our informants, the two of them did not lie." Bahom also placed his own confidants among the chaotic people.

"Let's not worry about these two women now. We need to confirm whether that guy is dead or not." Bahot felt so angry when he thought of that man that he wanted to pull out his bones and eat his flesh.

The mountain stronghold was high, and every little change in the enemy camp could be seen. After a series of probing and intelligence analysis, they had reason to believe that the enemy commander was not in the camp at all, and was now just a group of headless flies wandering around in the empty city.

"From the intelligence we have so far, it's very likely that the enemy commander has been killed. His current command style is completely different from before. The previous style was to attack and test, striving for a battle, but now it's all-out defense, and they will flee at the slightest sign of trouble," Truss analyzed.

"According to the information provided by my informant, the commander has been bedridden for three days. No outsiders have seen him, and judging from the consumption of food and medicine, there doesn't seem to be any wounded." Bahom told his information.

"Then let's send someone down to check at night to confirm whether they are digging a tunnel," Bahot suggested.

"I've learned that they have transferred a new commander from the rear and he will arrive at the front line the day after tomorrow." Truss also shared his intelligence.

"If we can catch them all at once when their commander arrives, we can definitely catch them off guard." Bahot wanted to do something big.

"First confirm whether the enemy's current commander is dead." There were sparks flashing in Truss' eyes, and he was obviously unwilling to remain calm.

"I'll go investigate it myself tonight." Bahot is a werewolf mutant with an extraordinary sense of smell and night vision. Even in a smoky environment, he can detect abnormalities below.

……

"Chief Bahot, I can't see anything! Should we go down a little?" There were only Bahot and Alas in the basket, and it would be useless if there were more people.

"Shh, don't talk, be careful not to expose your position." As a werewolf mutant, Bahot's hearing and vision are different from ordinary people. Even in the smoke, he can detect abnormalities below.

Although the city wall was completely silent, Bahot remained focused. It was not until the second half of the night that he noticed a little movement.

"Go back! They're gone." Bahot said in a deep voice.

"Chief Bahot, I didn't see anything?" Arras was confused.

"They have a woman who can see very far away. I think she must have discovered us." Bahot calmly analyzed the situation. The enemy knew his situation very well and took every step cautiously, like a salted fish that could not get out of its shell.

"How about this, two hours later, you can suddenly come down and catch the enemy off guard." Bahot understood that as long as he stayed here, the other party would not dare to act rashly.

……

"Did you see any action down there?" Truss couldn't help but be curious.

"I didn't see anything." Arras shook his head.

"I saw someone leave. The enemy has extremely sharp eyes. As long as we are above, they will not move. I guess they are very close to the city wall." Bahot's eyes are sharp and can see through everything in the dark, but at a distance of more than 100 meters, he can't see everything. The only way to find out more is to shorten the distance, but then he will be in the enemy's field of vision, and he will be caught in a dilemma.

"At dawn, let's go and check the enemy's strength. Even the best hunters can make mistakes, and we just need to see if the soil has been disturbed." Although no obvious evidence was found, the enemy was cautious and careful, and Truss became more and more suspicious. For the survival of the camp, he had to act cautiously.

"We still have time, don't rush." ​​Truss warned himself not to panic. The best time is when the new commander has just arrived, and the chance of success is the highest when the chaos strikes.

"Rowling, they've left, we can start now." Lilia looked at everything in front of her.

"Monkey, you go over there now. Remember to rebury the turned-over soil. No obvious traces should be left." Rowling was responsible for the cover work.

"Rowling, what if the other party can't find out?" The monkey was worried that his plan would fail because of his own infallibility.

"There is no such thing as a foolproof plan. No matter how perfect it is, the other party will find something unusual as long as they turn over the soil. Even if it is reburied, the re-turned soil will be different from the naturally compacted soil. You don't have to worry about this. As long as you do this task well, you won't have to do these again later, and we can rest." Everyone repeated the digging action every day just to wait for the other party to become suspicious.

"Lilia, let's go back to sleep! We can finally rest this time." Rowling pulled Lilia and prepared to leave.

……

"Lord Alpha, isn't it too dangerous for us to do this? After all, Linda is the daughter of the Grand Duke. If something happens, none of us can escape." Rowling asked worriedly, lying in Alpha's arms.

"Don't worry, I have arranged it. Linda will only arrive at the Bilis Fortress, and the rest is for me to let the Grand Duke spread rumors, and then there will only be two hundred cavalrymen to support us." It turned out that this was all Alpha's plan.

"Then I feel relieved. If Linda were here, we wouldn't be able to move freely." Rowling climbed onto Alpha and began to explore.

"Can't you be as quiet as Lilia?" Alpha pinched Lilia's arm, and feeling that she was sleeping soundly, Alpha pressed Rowling directly under him.

"Lord Rowling, enemies are coming down from the camp." Suddenly, the monkey's voice came from outside the house.

"Rowling, go and take a look! Just shoot them away with arrows." Alpha had no choice but to let Rowling go.

"I'll go! Lord Alpha." Lilia's flickering eyes showed that she was not asleep, she was just pretending to be asleep.

"Let Rowling go! Remember to shoot away. Try to shoot at the city wall. Don't kill the enemy and don't shoot on the ground." Alpha pressed down Lilia who was about to get up and instructed Rowling again.

"I understand. I will ensure that I complete the mission." He dressed neatly and set off quickly.

"They obviously did this on purpose. They let us go on purpose..." This time, it was Bahot's turn to be suspicious. After all, they had only encountered sporadic bow and arrow attacks during their escape.

"No, they were just trying to drive us away. All the arrows missed the mound," Truss recalled. The enemy archers' first priority was to avoid hitting the mound, and their second priority was to kill them.

"No wonder there were so few arrows down there, but so many of them flew towards us when we got to the hanging basket?" Bahot suddenly realized and his doubts were resolved.

"Very good, we are now 90% sure that the other side's commander is dead. They are waiting for the new commander to take office." Truss has let down most of his guard.

"Then we will kill the enemy commander tomorrow." Bahot was eager to try and wanted to have a big fight.

"I'll send someone to find out the commander's news. Once confirmed, we'll all attack." Truss made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll have everyone ready, and we'll just start the massacre." Bahom was also ready.

……

"Lin, I didn't expect they would really keep their promise and let us go." Aoi looked at her family and thought she was dreaming.

"Let's get out of here quickly." Lin still felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Yes, as long as we haven't walked out yet, we can't be happy too early." Aoi pulled his family and moved quickly towards the exit.

"Why are you leaving without saying goodbye? After all, we are your men too." Suddenly, a dozen bandits walked out from the shadows on both sides, all of them with extremely lewd smiles on their faces.

"Chief Bahom let us out, what do you want to do?" Aoi pulled out the big flag of Bahom.

"Yes, you have been released, and now you have been caught by us again, hahaha." There was a look of mockery on everyone's faces.

"Aoi, let's fight our way out." How could Lin not know that the other party had no intention of letting them go.

"Lin, we can't get out." Aoi looked at the men in front of him, recalled that terrifying night, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

“Aoi, even if we can’t fight our way out, we have to let them know that we cannot be bullied.” Lin clenched her fists and rushed towards the enemy.

"Hahaha, I'll let you know what cruelty is later." The bandit laughed.

"Ah! Grab it for me." A bandit covered his genitals and howled in pain.

"Go, don't look back." The family members behind him held the enemy tightly, and would never let go even if they were beaten with blood.

"Lin, leave quickly, I'll stop them." Aoi was already a step too slow and couldn't escape at all. She could only buy some time for Lin.

"Aoi, I will avenge you." Lin couldn't help but shed tears as she watched the fallen Aoi being dragged to a shadowy corner by the men.

"Hahaha, you have no way to escape." Even if Lin walked to the light, it was just a ventilation hole, at least twenty meters above the ground.

"Even if I die from falling, I won't let you off easily." Lin jumped down without hesitation.

"Pity."

……

"Soldiers, listen up, we must go all out in tomorrow's battle. This may be the final battle between us and the bandits. The more bandits we leave behind in this battle, the better it will be for us to capture the stronghold later." Alpha urgently summoned everyone to a meeting, even the leader of the mercenary group Robin Hood came to attend the meeting.

Initially, Robin Hood was disdainful of cooperating with a small figure like Alpha. However, after several collaborations, the Alpha Knights became more and more courageous, and now have more troops than the mercenary group at its strongest. Robin Hood had to take it seriously.

Now, Alpha has 800 cavalry and 400 infantry. Of course, half of the infantry are militia, and they are mainly responsible for logistical supply support.

"Captain Robin Hood, how many cavalrymen do you have now? I need to confirm it." Alpha needed to arrange combat missions based on the number of cavalrymen. Unexpectedly, it was just a routine invitation, but Robin Hood actually came to the meeting in person.

In fact, even without Robin Hood's troops, Alpha is confident that he can wipe out this group of bandits, but his own casualties will be relatively large, and he may not be able to completely wipe out the enemy.

"My army currently has 600 people, including 400 cavalry and 200 infantry." After several coordinated operations, although Robin Hood did not suffer any losses, he did not get any meat to eat. Seeing Alpha's troops eating meat bite by bite, it was hard for Robin Hood not to feel jealous.

"Okay, then you send out all the cavalry, and the infantry don't need to attack to prevent the enemy camp from launching a sneak attack." Alpha was also prepared to achieve his goal in one go.

"Captain Alpha, isn't it too risky to do this?" Robin Hood asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you infantrymen defend the camp, the enemy won't cause too much damage to us." In fact, Alpha's infantry regiment had already been sent to the battlefield and formed an interception team with Rowling. As a result, only a small number of infantrymen and militia were left guarding Joyce Village.

"Robin Hood, lead two hundred of the four hundred cavalrymen to Rowling's area and be sure to defend against all retreating bandits!" Currently, Rowling's troops have three hundred cavalrymen and one hundred infantrymen. With the addition of two hundred more cavalrymen, it will be enough to resist the bandits.

"Order!"

"The remaining troops of Robin Hood move to the outer line and wait for our signal to attack on all fronts." Alpha knew that he could not use all his strength at once, otherwise the enemy would be scared away.

"Bach's troops will move to the outside, Will's troops will stay in the center, and the rest of the teams will go out of the camp to welcome the special envoy. If you see a signal, return immediately. Remember, no matter whether you encounter a special envoy or not, no matter whether there is a signal or not, return to the camp immediately after two hours." Alpha is ready to transfer most of the troops. Only in this way can the plan be foolproof.

"Captain Will, is it too dangerous here? You only have one hundred infantrymen and two hundred cavalrymen left?" Lina looked at Alpha with concern.

"You don't have to worry about me. We have already discussed it. My army will not fight the enemy head-on. The enemy will definitely use infantry to attack me, and I will rely on archers to fight back. If you can't hold on, I will withdraw from the camp immediately. By then, you will be back, and then we will be able to catch you in a trap." Will knew that he only needed to hold on for four hours at most.

"Lord Alpha, what if the enemy returns early? Then we will most likely be attacked from both sides, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on." What Rowling is most worried about now is that the enemy will not attack with its entire army.

"I will show weakness on purpose to make the enemy think they have an opportunity. You just need to keep an eye on the enemy cavalry units, and if there are infantry attacks, leave it to the infantry to resist." The infantry arranged by Alpha are all spears and archers, so their offensive capabilities are insufficient, but they are good at defense.

"Order."

"Captain Alpha, our infantry is of little use. It would be better for us to support Rowling's troops in the rear, which will greatly increase our defense." Robin Hood was afraid that his infantry would be devoured by the enemy.

"Okay, but your two hundred cavalrymen must pay attention to the enemy's movements in advance. I'm afraid they will get the news and move in other directions." Alpha had no objection to this.

"Order."

"Everyone, start now. No one is allowed to act without a military order. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy. Lilia, Quinn, you two are responsible for supervision."
