I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"The matter of the Heavenly Master is in the past. You are the most important thing now." Arthur finally got to the point. The Pope just wanted to give Alpha a warning, but he couldn't let him down.

Arthur knew what the Pope meant. Although sending Alpha to fight was a bit like using him as cannon fodder, it was not hopeless, so he had to give Alpha some confidence.

"Me? Will the Pope punish me?" Alpha seemed very nervous.

"No, the Pope intends to give you something to enhance your strength." Arthur knew that he couldn't continue to hit him in this regard, otherwise it would be too much. The punishment had been completed, and it was time to give him some sweet treats.

"This is King Arthur's sword, given to you by the Pope." Arthur handed the Sword in the Stone to Alpha.

"Of course, this is just a replica, but don't underestimate it. It embodies the power of our four great paladins. It can release a Dou Qi Slash once a day without limit. As long as you inject Dou Qi into it in advance, you can get a Sword Qi Slash." Arthur explained.

"After you drip your blood to acknowledge your master, only you can activate the Sword in the Stone. Anyone else will only get an ordinary, very sharp cross sword."

"Thank you very much, Lord Arthur. I will make good use of this weapon to spread the mysteries of the Church widely." Alpha just happened to be lacking a melee weapon, and this weapon could fill his shortcoming.

"Also, you seem to be unable to use the power of the Light Hymn on your own?" Arthur was puzzled. After all, the Light Hymn was the simplest magic of the Church, and it could be activated by praying devoutly. Since Alpha's body could be cast with light magic, it showed that he was extremely devout to God. How could he not be able to activate the Light Hymn on his own?

Alpha's body can withstand light magic, and as a Knight of Discipline, he is blessed with the power of Discipline, which shows that Alpha's piety to God is self-evident. Logically, he should be able to inspire the Praise of Light effortlessly.

Unfortunately, the one occupying Alpha's body is the soul of the time traveler Zhang Mo. He can only passively use all the skills triggered by piety. He is powerless to activate the active skills that require the soul to stimulate.

"I'm not too sure about this question, Lord Arthur." Zhang Mo (Alpha) certainly knew the reason, but he certainly couldn't tell the truth.

"It's okay. I will transform your body. When you use your fighting spirit to activate the Luminous Hymn, you can trigger the magical effect. It can not only improve the recovery of yourself and the people around you, but also dispel the evil force." The forbidden technique performed by the Pope and the Archbishop is definitely not that simple. Alpha will have to rely on himself to continue exploring.

"Thank you, Lord Arthur. I will repay you when I come back." With these two skills, Alpha has a better chance of the next adventure.

"I'll give you 24 hours to deal with your own affairs. I'll send you away at this time tomorrow." After saying that, Arthur disappeared from Alpha's sight.

"Lilia, notify everyone to come to the meeting." Alpha doesn't have much time left and must make arrangements as soon as possible.

"Lord Alpha, do you have something to announce?" Rowling couldn't help asking as she saw Alpha looking thoughtful.

"There may be unusual movements at the Fortley stronghold. Inform Captain Robin Hood to be careful. Will's subsequent suppression of the bandits should be based on steady steps. Guard the Baft and Joyce strongholds to cut off the connection between Fortley and Digar. Remember not to take risks, we have an absolute advantage now. Truss is stationed at the Digar stronghold, and I suspect Bahot has also moved in. The main focus should be on driving them away to the west, supplemented by attacking." Alpha was a little annoyed, and even the strategic arrangements became a little confusing and he had no idea what to do.

"At the same time, notify the Bilis Fortress in the rear to arrange personnel to open up this section of road and build it into a transit base, so that we can gradually advance and slowly erode." Alpha wanted to control the western commerce, and suppressing the bandits was only the first step of the plan. Effective control and infrastructure construction were required on this basis. One tenth of the profits went into his own pocket, and the remaining ten percent was handed over to the Holy See, of course, in the name of forming the Knights of Light.

"After the bandit suppression is completed, Lina, Tasli, Aino and others will stay to form the Knights of Light, mainly responsible for the security maintenance of Bilis Fortress." Alpha planned to leave a few people behind and only take Rowling, Lilia, Fattam and Monkey to Fatalia. In fact, Alpha wanted to leave Fattam behind, but was worried that there was something wrong with his practice, so it was safer to take her with him.

"Lord Alpha, you are leaving here." Lina had a premonition that Alpha was about to leave.

"Yes, we will leave Torres Province tomorrow, and this place will be handed over to you." Alpha finally announced the news of his departure.

"No, I want to go with Alpha." Lina objected immediately.

"We will discuss this matter together later. Right now the focus is on suppressing the bandits and subsequent arrangements. The issue of suppressing the bandits will be handed over to Captain Will. I will go back to Bilithi for other follow-up matters later." Alpha arranged the key points.

"Then what should we pay attention to when suppressing bandits?" Will's ability is limited, so he prepares in advance.

"The key is stability. We now have an absolute advantage. As long as we don't fall into any trap, there will be no problem. We don't seek credit but avoid mistakes. We must drive the bandit group to the west and never let them escape the encirclement from the east." Alpha emphasized again.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Will left the rest of the time to Alpha and others, and left first.

"Bach, do you want to stay too?" Will pulled Bach away who was about to stay.

"This operation is very dangerous. I don't need so many people, so I can't let everyone leave together." Alpha explained in advance.

"I want to be with Alpha. I am not afraid of any hardship or danger." Lina was the first to stand up.

"No, Lina, Tasli, you have to stay. You have to stay for a mission. You have to develop and expand the Knights Templar. The Holy See has given us 150 places, but we still have 500 mercenaries. We have to train them into Knights Templar." Alpha wanted to train a cavalry regiment of 1,000 people.

"I want to go to the Fatalia Empire." Tasli stood up and objected.

"My ideal is to become the strongest knight. If I just stay here to train, I would rather go on the journey alone." Tasli has her own ideals and pursuits.

"Me too." Ino also stood up.

"No, you all stay here to train. I will need a lot of soldiers later, and Tasli will be the first to lead troops to support me." Alpha finally made the decision. In fact, if he was more rational, Alpha would rather keep Tasli, who has stronger offensive ability, and Fattam, who is more defensive.

"Okay, it's decided. You will hand over your tasks to me and leave with me tomorrow." Alpha got up and left.

"Tasli, Lina, Ino, come with me, everyone else disperse." Alpha still needs to explain something important.

"Although your mission is to train the troops, you must also pay attention to other aspects. I will need a group of troops to come here in half a year at most. At that time, Tasli will lead them into Fatalia as a mercenary group." If Alpha can hold out for half a year, he will definitely need support.

"Okay, I will build you a group of the strongest troops in half a year." Tasli is confident that she can lead such an army.

"No, half a year is the longest time, maybe three months. You have to hurry up, and I will arrange soldiers for you through other channels later. In terms of soldiers, those with potential and good conduct can be given basic fighting spirit techniques. You can recommend those with great potential to me, and I will arrange for them to practice advanced fighting spirit techniques." Alpha remembered the grassland cavalry that Liv mentioned.

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to us." Tasli agreed with Alpha's proposal.

"Okay, let's go back! Explain everything to them. I'm going to Bilis Fortress now." Alpha left quickly with his personal soldiers and rushed to Bilis.

"Alpha, why are you back?" Linda, who was hunting, was surprised to see Alpha and immediately ran away.

"Linda, why are you here?" Alpha was also surprised to see Linda.

"Brother-in-law, don't you know that Sister Linda is now the chief executive of Bilis?" Tony also ran over.

Bilis Fortress is now the administrative center of the Western Trade Zone, which is at the level of mayor and governor. In the past, with Linda's qualifications, it would have been impossible to obtain such a position. But this is a new district, full of opportunities, and anything is possible.

"Then will you all stay here to help Linda in the future?" Alpha asked curiously.

"Sister Alice stays to serve as the leader of the Knights, I want to go back." Tony was a little disappointed.

"It's okay. Father wants to focus on training you. You must study hard." Linda knew that her father wanted to train Tony because the Grand Duke chose Tony as his successor.

"Ah! Alpha, what are you doing?" Alice was shocked to see Alpha jump onto her horse.

"Let's go back together." The Royal Guards wisely did not get close and guarded from a distance.

"Linda, it's better for you to stay here." Alpha knew that this was the dowry the Grand Duke gave to Linda, and the prerequisite was that he must go to the front line, survive, and live well.

"You stay in Bilis, and remember to develop business, reduce taxes and maintain stability." Alpha hugged Linda and began to explain.

"Alpha, I know this. Miss Liv told me about this before she left. She also gave me the business plan. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to learn, so she left two business talents for me. Now I only have to be responsible for executing it step by step." Linda snuggled in Alpha's arms, enjoying Alpha's touch.

"That's good. Then I have nothing to explain." Alpha kissed Linda.

"Alpha, why did you come back suddenly?" Linda had a bad feeling.

"I'm leaving here tomorrow and preparing to enter Fatalia." Alpha didn't want to leave, but he had to go. Alpha didn't have the capital to say no to the Church now, so he had to insist even if it meant biting the bullet.

"Ah, it happened so quickly. I didn't have time to prepare." Linda's tone was full of worry.

"Linda, stay with me tonight!" Alpha hugged the beauty in his arms, his eyes full of desire.

"Yes." Linda agreed for the first time.

"Alpha, how do we get into Fatalia?" Linda asked worriedly while lying in Alpha's arms.

"The shortest route is to go directly west into the Fatalia Empire, but it is obviously impossible. I plan to enter Ethiopeia from the south, form a mercenary group and then infiltrate Fatalia." Alpha knew that the environment in the west was terrible, and the so-called bandit suppression problem was actually an infiltration into Fatalia, so he had to take other measures.

"This method is feasible. The Fatalia Empire is in chaos right now. It is indeed a paradise for mercenaries." Linda thought this method was feasible and would not arouse suspicion.

"So what are Alpha's plans after entering the Fatalia Empire?" Linda seemed to have been instructed by Houston to explain some things.

"We will recruit cavalry from the Fatalia Empire to expand our strength, and strive to reach a scale of one hundred people before reaching our destination." In fact, Alpha does not have any clear goals, so he can only take one step at a time.

"Alpha, my father told me that if you have no clue, you can first recruit soldiers in the northern grasslands. After you have a thousand people, you can enter the capital of the Fatalia Empire. Someone will contact you then. You can transfer between nobles, merchants and royal family members, so that you can get the most benefit." Grand Duke Houston's suggestion is more moderate and more suitable for Alpha now.

"I understand. I'll think about it carefully." Alpha squinted his eyes and thought.

"Alpha, you must come back alive no matter what. Remember, I'm waiting for you." Linda expressed her true feelings.

"Well, I will come back and marry you, Linda."

……

Alpha led Rowling, Fattam, Lilia, Snell, Afari and ten other people, and left the camp the next morning under Arthur's watch.

Today, the only ones left in Bilith Fortress are Tasli, Lina, Aino and the Hamhanta sisters.

Alpha's group consisted of eleven people in total, and the two carriages were moving slowly forward on the ice field.

However, Alpha changed his route and prepared to enter the Fatalia Empire from Portos in the north.

The people of that grassland empire are good at riding horses and shooting arrows. This year is another long and cold winter, and I am afraid that many grassland tribes will freeze to death. Alpha tried to recruit some grassland cavalry, so he changed his route.

In addition, Alpha also wanted to catch up with Liv, because this was the road she was going to take. However, on the third day, they encountered a blizzard at the border of Portos, and they had to set up camp and wait for the snowstorm to pass before setting off again.

Of course, Arthur had already disappeared and didn't really watch Alpha leave. However, if Alpha turned around, Arthur would probably notice it immediately.

"Lord Alpha, this snowstorm will probably last for a long time. We should be prepared for the cold." Lilia looked at the vast expanse of white outside the window and said prophetically.

"Lilia, is your hometown the grassland?" Alpha knew nothing about Lilia's experience, but judging from the girl's fair and delicate skin, she obviously did not look like a grassland herdsman who was often exposed to the sun and wind.

"I was not born in a grassland tribe. My family fell into poverty, so my father sold his property and bought a batch of cattle and horses, and led us to settle down on the grassland. But just when our lives had started to improve and we were about to move to the Eastern Empire to settle down, we were robbed by bandits. The whole family died or dispersed, and now I am the only one left." Lilia looked gloomy, and the family changes still made her feel scared.

"I will be your family from now on." Alpha went forward and hugged Lilia, giving her warm support and making her feel a little comforted in this strange world.

"What do you think we should pay attention to?"
