I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 78: The Holy See’s Strikes

"Boss, area seven is on fire! Should we check it out?" Faced with the sudden thick smoke, everyone was a little panicked for a moment.

"Send twenty people over, and the rest continue searching." This was already the tenth area to be searched, and the leader was confident that he had not been lazy.

"Oh no! Smoke is also rising in the eleventh area. There are enemies ambushing there too!" Instantly, another cloud of smoke rose up, throwing the entire team into chaos. The new bandits, who originally had no sense of belonging, now also felt the threat of death.

"Send a hundred people for reinforcement, and the rest of you follow me to search the tenth area!" The leader obviously wanted to leave no corner untouched.

"Shoot!" The moment the bandits rushed into the platform, countless crossbow arrows shot at them, and a large number of them fell down instantly.

"Attack!" Since the battle has already started, everyone will not wait for the enemy to kill them, and the killing becomes eternal in an instant.

"Kill!" Tasli, Fattam, Ino and others took the lead.

"Assault team, follow me to destroy!" The monkey's mission is not to kill the enemy, but to create chaos.

"Boss, it's bad. The enemies are coming! There are a large number of enemies in the seventh, tenth and eleventh areas. Our people can't stop them at all!" The guard came running to report again.

"How is it possible? How could the enemy act in advance?"

Bahom was horrified, but then he reacted, "Let the second and third squadrons suppress them immediately!"

Bahom simply did not have enough manpower, so he could only transfer the original search team to resist the enemy's attack.

"How many enemies are there?" Bahom was obviously a little flustered, otherwise he wouldn't be so impatient.

"It's not clear yet. There are at least thirty people in the seventh area, and there are probably more than a hundred in the tenth and eleventh areas." The guard answered cautiously.

"How could there be so many people? How could hundreds of people appear above us silently?" Bahom was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.

"Guards, follow me and charge forward." Although he was angry, the problem still needed to be solved, so Bahom had no choice but to lead the team and charge forward himself.

……

"Rust, why haven't your people come yet? I told you to arrive three hours in advance. Where are your people?" Robin Hood has arrived at the front line, but not many people from various departments have come.

"Sir, isn't the operation going to be late at night? I asked everyone to rest first." Rust looked surprised.

"Asshole, I said we should act late at night, but I said we should come here early. Hurry up and gather your men here and leave immediately." Robin Hood roared angrily.

"Captain, it's a waste to go out so early. Let's take a break!" Rust didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Idiot, bastard, there is no fixed time on the battlefield, gather everyone together quickly, or get out of here." Just as Robin Hood was roaring angrily, the stronghold suddenly sounded an alarm, and the people above had already started to act.

"Ruster, what do you mean? Violating military orders?" Robin Hood pointed at Rust who did not move and calmed down in an instant.

"Everyone is tired and needs to rest? You can't let everyone die?" Rust signaled his men to surround everyone.

"It's you! Rust, you're really a thorough undercover." Robin Hood never imagined that the brother who had been through thick and thin with him in the past was actually a spy for the bandits.

"Don't say such harsh words. A man of insight is a wise man. They are willing to spend three thousand gold coins to bribe me, so of course I have to consider my own interests." Rust had planned this long ago and did not feel guilty at all.

"Aren't you afraid that the bandit group will collapse? You have the life to get the money but not the life to spend it? You should know that Bahom's troops are almost wiped out." Robin Hood tried to convince him with reason.

"Hahaha, not only did they give me three thousand gold coins, they also promised to let me and my subordinates enter the Fatalia Empire. What reason do I have to refuse?" Rust had already found a way out for himself.

"Do you think you can escape, Rust?" Robin Hood made a final effort, hoping that he would change his mind.

"I'm afraid tonight is the day you die." Rust gave an order, and his loyal subordinates launched a fierce attack on Robin Hood.

However, just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the door behind them suddenly opened a crack, and a riot broke out inside the village.

"Truss, you will be punished for doing this!" Robin Hood kicked over the enemy with whom he had just fought side by side.

"People die for money, birds die for food. We will work for whoever pays more. Don't you understand?" Truss did not look back, but led the rebels to rush towards the enemy.

"Kill!" Suddenly a loud shout came from behind, and countless soldiers rushed forward.

Truth was horrified because according to calculations, Alpha had no soldiers left.

"Lord Rust, they are infantrymen, I have seen them." A mercenary shouted.

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Truss could only pretend to be calm and shouted loudly: "Kill Alpha, the reward is one thousand gold!"

However, even with the huge reward, Truss and his companions were unable to break through Lilia's shooter team, let alone get close enough to kill Alpha.

After three consecutive charges and dozens of casualties, Rust realized that he could not get close to Alpha and others. He could only lead his men into the mountain stronghold, preparing to use the narrow roads in the mountain stronghold to resist the enemy's troop advantage.

"Lord Alpha, we..."

"Captain Robin Hood, how many mercenaries are available now? Gather them all to support us." The support Alpha brought consisted of his own personal soldiers and infantry. Their attack and defense capabilities were relatively weak, and they could only play a supporting role.

"There are probably more than a hundred people. I will go and gather them all now." Robin Hood lowered his head because he was ashamed to face Alpha. After all, the spies were all from his own troops.

"Lord Alpha, will there be any big problems if we continue to ask the mercenaries for support?" Lilia asked worriedly.

"The remaining problems shouldn't be too big. Rust should have taken away all those who were loyal to him. There's not much point in staying." This might be the last battle to annihilate the bandits. Victory or defeat will depend on this one move.

"Surrender and you won't be killed." Alpha shouted again. However, the people at the entrance of the village were all loyal to Bahom, so Alpha's inducement was meaningless.

"I'm not wrong, you're the ones who are wrong." Rost watched his men being eliminated one by one, his heart filled with anger, and he wanted to settle the score with Afa immediately.

However, Alpha was not angry at all, and he calmly persuaded: "You are mercenaries, we will help whoever pays more, that's right. It's a pity that you can't see the current situation clearly. Now the bandits are about to be eliminated. If you continue to be our enemy, it will be tantamount to your own destruction."

Rust certainly understood how dangerous the bandits were. If the bandits were powerful, hiring mercenaries at high prices would be a waste of time.

"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Only at this time can we ask for a higher price." Everything is for money. Killing bandits is for money, and helping bandits is also for money.

Ah Fa gestured with his hand and said calmly: "You can survive if it is sent by heaven, but you cannot survive if it is sent by yourself. You are courting your own destruction."

"Alpha, if you are a knight, follow me." Before Rost could finish his words, Lilia shot an arrow through his chest.

Alpha is not a regular knight who can be killed from a distance. Alpha will never risk close combat.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do now? Should we continue the pursuit?" Lilia frowned. As an archer, she felt very difficult in this narrow passage and couldn't help feeling fear in her heart.

"Open the south gate and let Will and Rowling's troops attack. Your sharpshooter team will withdraw from the stronghold through the south gate." Alpha obviously didn't want to see this elite force wiped out here.

"Yes!" Lilia launched a charge without hesitation to relieve the coach's worries.

"Fight for honor, fight for light, attack!" The moment the south gate was opened, Will and Rowling's troops rushed into the mountain stronghold with unstoppable force, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Obviously, the untrained bandits could not compete with the regular knights, and for a while the bandits' positions were defeated one after another.

"It's bad, chief! The north and south gates have been lost, and the enemy has already rushed in!" The sudden news made Bahom lose his composure. He knew that the loss of the city gate meant that the game was over.

"Attack with all our strength and drive them out, we still have hope!" Bahom roared unwillingly, but his figure gradually faded into the back of the gang and finally disappeared.

"Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!" When the first surrender appeared, the main camp of Bafut had already declared defeat. A large number of bandits put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Withdraw from the stronghold!" The infantrymen escorted the prisoners and gradually withdrew from the stronghold.

"Everyone, be careful, and be especially careful of Bahom, in case he is also a werewolf." The werewolf Bahom has disappeared, and it is still unknown whether Bahom is a werewolf. It is always right to be cautious.

The moment the gate of the stronghold was breached, the main stronghold of Baft became history.

The battle started at nine o'clock and ended in the early morning, but the post-battle inventory and prisoner disposal continued until dawn.

When the first rays of dawn shone on the earth, the main camp of Baft had been completely conquered. When everyone held a meeting to count the spoils, Captain Robin Hood was not present.

When Robin Hood went back to gather the mercenaries, he found that everyone was drunk. He could gather less than 50 people, and they were disheveled and staggering. Even if Robin Hood was thick-skinned enough, he was too embarrassed to share the fruits of victory.

"Lord Alpha, our unit has seized a large amount of weapons and supplies in this operation, but not much gold, silver and treasures." Rowling looked at the mountains of supplies and was quite disappointed because she did not see much gold, silver and treasures.

"What about the prisoners?" Alpha didn't care much about the supplies. He was most concerned about the personnel situation.

"We captured 723 people this time, 372 bandits died, and 123 were injured. We also found more than 300 captives in the bandit prison. What should we do with these people, Lord Alpha?" According to tradition, Alpha has the right to deal with and distribute these people. These captives are spoils of war. Of course, if someone is willing to redeem the captives, Alpha cannot refuse. The ransom is usually half of what the bandits demand.

"Register the information, hand it over to the rear, and release it home after confirmation." There is no such tradition here in Alpha, and prisoners who are willing to go back can be released directly.

"Lord Alpha, there are a lot of good weapons among the supplies this time. Don't you want to pick some?" Rowling obviously saw some good stuff and deliberately tempted.

"You guys can choose for yourselves! Help me keep an eye out for any sharp short weapons." After the previous battle, Alpha also realized that it would be useless without a handy weapon. The long Mo Dao is certainly useful, but in a narrow space or close combat, swords and knives are obviously more flexible.

"Okay, leave it to us." Rowling, Tasli and others had already discussed it and were ready to go in and plunder it.

"Lord Alpha, you have a visitor." Lilia walked into the conference room, and as soon as she finished speaking, the visitor had already entered the conference room.

"Lord Arthur, why are you here?" Alpha stood up to greet him and recognized him as Arthur, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Vatican.

"You guys go out first and do what you need to do." After everyone left, Alpha gave Arthur a seat.

"Alpha, you have some skills. Bahom and Truss bandit gangs have been suppressed by you like this." With only two people left, the seriousness on Arthur's face disappeared and a smile appeared.

"Lord Arthur, please don't laugh at me. If you take action, this little thief will not be enough." Alpha responded with a smile, guessing in his heart that the purpose of Arthur's visit would not be just a few compliments.

"Master Knight Alpha, we are now of the same rank. You don't have to be so respectful and call me sir." Arthur already knew Alpha's identity, and in the Vatican, the two had equal status.

"Lord Arthur, you are of noble status, and I am just a consumable. How dare I be on an equal footing with you? That would kill me." Alpha knew that the Pope's words would not allow him to be superior to Arthur in the Holy See. Everything was rooted in strength.

"Do you know why I came here this time?" Arthur suddenly became serious.

"I don't know about this. Could you tell me something about it?" Alpha guessed that this might be related to his mission.

"You are asking this question even though you already know the answer. The Pope is very dissatisfied with your action this time. He orders you to leave for the Fatalia Empire immediately to carry out your mission. You must leave tomorrow at the latest. I will watch you leave." Arthur's tone was extremely stern.

"Sir, I am very confused. Can you tell me what exactly made the Pope so unhappy?" Alpha knew he had done nothing wrong.

"Shouldn't we make a deal with the dark forces? Werewolves," Arthur hinted to Alpha.

"Ah! Are you talking about the Bahot werewolves? I exchanged hostages with them just to let the light shine on the earth." Alpha thought to himself.

"Actually, none of this matters. What matters is that you shouldn't make the exchange so openly." Arthur narrowed his eyes and stared at Alpha.

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue. The purpose of my coming here is about the Eastern Heavenly Master." Arthur couldn't have come just to convey the message. If so, it would be a waste of talent.

"Master? Has he appeared again?" Alpha was shocked.

"It is rumored that you encountered a heavenly master?" Arthur asked casually.

“With my limited skills, if I were to face the Heavenly Master in his prime, I might not be able to withstand even one of his moves. How could I possibly survive?” Alpha smiled bitterly. He knew that he had no chance of winning against the Heavenly Master’s unfathomable strength.

"What if the Master is seriously injured, falls into a coma, or his strength is greatly reduced?" Arthur asked meaningfully.

"If such a situation really happens, I will weigh the pros and cons, strive for more benefits for myself, and never miss any opportunity." Alpha answered vaguely.

"The matter of the Heavenly Master is over. Now the focus is on you."
