I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 80 Tragedy in the Snowstorm

"Lilya, what did you just say we should pay attention to?" Alpha had never experienced such a blizzard or severe cold, so he only knew how to keep warm.

Lilia glanced at Alpha, this spoiled guy who had stayed in the greenhouse for too long and didn't understand the rules of survival here.

"First, we check the tent to make sure there are no cracks or leaks, then add two layers of waterproof cloth and a thicker layer of cold-proof felt."

"The same goes for war horses. Use special vests and protective gear to protect their limbs and abdomen to prevent frostbite. At the same time, prepare plenty of fodder and water to ensure that they can get enough energy and water."

"We need to prepare more food and firewood, at least enough for three days. If the blizzard lasts more than three days, we will starve to death or freeze to death." When Lilia said this, Alpha also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Has this kind of weather ever occurred on the grassland before?" Alpha asked.

"It's rare, but once it happens, the consequences can be very serious if you're not prepared in advance." Lilia is well aware of the pros and cons.

"We are not fully prepared now. What should we do now that we are in the wilderness?" Alpha was also very anxious about this, but it was too late and he regretted it.

"As for food, I am proficient in hunting in the snow. We can catch rabbits, moles and other game to fill our stomachs. As for firewood, we can pick it up now that there is heavy snow and many dead trees around. The horses can't travel fast, so we can only let them huddle together and use the carriage to block the wind." The snowstorms that Lilia had encountered before all happened in the tribe, so she didn't have much experience.

"Okay, then let Lilia, Afari and Makina go hunting, Monkey, Fattam and Snell go collect firewood. The rest of you follow me to build a house." Alpha assigned the tasks in an orderly manner.

Although Makina is a man of few words, he has special skills. His mobile archery skills have reached perfection, and he can shoot through the target from a hundred steps away. If Lilia is a fixed sharpshooter within 200 meters, then Makina is a fast shooter within 50 meters. Not only that, he is also proficient in superb swordsmanship. Unfortunately, he was born in a poor family and was a slave, so he could not become a real knight. Fortunately, Alpha recruited him without any restrictions. Now Alpha has taught him the basic fighting skills, and after observing him for a period of time, he can teach him the advanced fighting skills.

"Build a house? Is Lord Alpha confused?" everyone exclaimed.

"You will know when the time comes. Everyone prepare for your own tasks and don't run too far." It is windy and snowy outside now, and visibility is extremely low. If you go too far and get lost, you will probably be in great danger.

"Lord Alpha, is this the house you built?" Fattam had just brought back some firewood when he was startled by Alpha's ice house.

This is not a house at all, it is clearly a circle of snow piles made of snow blocks, about one meter high. Alpha did not consider the looseness of the ice and snow, and thought he could cut it into pieces and stack them up like stones, but now he can only build a circle like a snowman.

"Just provide shelter for the warhorse." Alpha looked a little embarrassed.

"Spread the grass on the ground and let the horses lie down." Alpha's snow wall was only one meter high. It was impossible to protect against the wind if they stood up, and they had to lie down to isolate themselves from the severe cold of the earth. At the same time, Alpha used the carriage to support the upwind, which could be regarded as providing some cold protection for the horses.

"Master Alpha, come and take a look." Suddenly Lilia's voice came from not far away, and soon Lilia came back with two hares hanging on her body. At the same time, Makina and Afari actually came back carrying a person.

"Carry him into the tent, Aaron, save him quickly." Alpha shouted. Aaron was the doctor who replaced Lina.

"It's not your fault if he dies." Alpha added this deliberately, and Aaron reluctantly ran to get treatment.

In fact, Aaron is a veterinarian, but Aaron's medical skills are real, not like Lina's half-baked ones. Aaron was born into a family of famous doctors, and his family has been engaged in medical work for generations. However, due to a medical accident, Aaron's father killed someone. The nobleman refused to give in, and finally Aaron's family was overthrown.

Aaron also suffered from psychological trauma when he was a child. Although he learned medical skills, he never treated humans. Now when Aaron is asked to treat someone, he must add that he will not come back to you if he dies. This is Aaron's talent in saving people.

"It's a knife wound, it's not serious, but I'm afraid he has severe frostbite after staying outside for a day. I'll apply some ointment and bandage it, and the rest depends on him." Aaron took care of it quickly.

"Are there any signs of fighting near him? Are there other wounded?" Alpha was a little worried. After all, Liv left only a day and a half earlier than him.

"Lord Alpha, Lady Lilia and I have checked the surrounding area. There is no one else except him. I guess he escaped from somewhere else." Lilia replied.

"We take turns guarding the camp, two people at a time." Alpha originally thought that he could be safe, but now it seems that everything is impossible.

"Prepare food first and wait until he wakes up." Alpha would not easily abandon the camp because of possible danger. He was already fully prepared.

"No, don't come over here." Suddenly, the roar of the injured person came from behind.

"Hold him down, don't let him move." After saying that, Aaron took the lead, and Makino and Monkey helped to hold the wounded down.

"We are not enemies, can you calm down?" Faced with the wounded who could not calm down, Alpha was ready to knock him out.

"Save us, please save us." The man struggled for a few times, and when he saw that they were not enemies, he immediately called for help.

"What happened?" Alpha is not a savior. In such a snowy and cold weather, any action may lead to the annihilation of the entire army, so he must find out the situation clearly.

"We encountered bandits. They looted our tribe, killed our families, and stole our goods and women." The man's eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent.

"What direction? Where is it?" Although Alpha wanted to help, he was afraid that he would not be able to tell the direction even if he knew it.

"Not far, just nearby." The man struggled to get up, but his injuries did not allow him to walk too far. The sudden blizzard also prevented the man from walking far, but it also hindered the bandits' continued pursuit.

"There's a blizzard outside now, and you can't tell the direction at all. If we try to rescue them, I'm afraid we'll be killed as well." Alpha was a little helpless.

"No, I must go and save them." The man struggled to get up because this was his home.

However, when he looked out the window at the vast snow, he was at a loss. It was so white outside that he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He couldn't tell east, west, south or north no matter how hard he tried. Moreover, he was in a difficult situation now. How could he find his tribe?

"Master Alpha, I can track the traces of prey. If the distance is not far, I can give it a try." Sovdoro next to him suddenly suggested. He used to be an excellent hunter. Even the most terrible and cunning prey could not escape his eyes. However, his strength was relatively average. His melee ability was about the same as Lilia's. He was in his forties and it was very difficult for him to learn basic fighting spirit. His strength had already been fixed. Everyone called him Lao Doro.

"Okay, you go with Monkey and Afari, and remember to only search within a two to three kilometer radius. Don't go too far away. Fattam, Lilia, and Snell, mark the surroundings and be ready to welcome them back at any time." Alpha nodded. Now lights and the like could not be used at all. They could only insert wooden stakes around as marks, but such markings were not safe. Alpha was afraid that the wind and snow would blow the stakes away.

"Understood sir." Several people immediately took orders and began to carry them out.

"I will go with you too. I can't just sit there and do nothing." The man stood there, in agony. He couldn't stay behind and let others look for his family.

"He can't move too much, otherwise the wound will easily tear." Aaron carefully reminded Alpha.

"You stay and let them pass first. Don't stray too far from the camp." Alpha reminded again. If you get lost in this kind of weather, you won't be able to find your way back.

The man was anxious, and seeing everyone leaving in the snow, he became even more anxious. He knew he couldn't stay and wait, but he couldn't move either. He struggled irritably and accidentally pulled his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Be quiet and don't move." Aaron glared at him and carefully bandaged his wound. Under his care, the man's body gradually regained warmth and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Aaron, thank you." The man looked at Aaron gratefully. If it weren't for him, he would probably have been buried in the snow.

"You're welcome. What's your name? I don't know your name yet." Aaron smiled and encouraged, "Don't worry, they will definitely come back safely."

"My name is Yasuo Niat, you can just call me Yasuo." As time passed, the man's anxiety gradually increased. He kept looking outside the house, hoping to see a familiar figure as soon as possible. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

"They are back!" The man was delighted and immediately struggled to get up. Aaron saw this and quickly helped him up, and the two walked out the door together.

Unfortunately, there was no familiar face among the men, which made them very frightened and disappointed.

"Lord Alpha, I have something to announce." Doro pulled Alpha aside.

"Have you discovered their tribe?" Alpha asked curiously.

"We found out, but that tribe was too brutal. All the heads were cut off and piled together, the women were stripped naked and impaled on poles, and even the children were not spared." Even though Duo Luo had been caught by bandits before, he had never encountered such a brutal thing.

"Those people are not human at all, they are a bunch of beasts, worse than beasts." Duo Luo's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Can you take me to see my tribe?" Yasuo begged tremblingly.

Alpha didn't expect that his conversation was overheard by Yasuo.

"How far, Dora?" Alpha asked.

"Less than two kilometers, in the other direction where we found him." Duoluo went in the wrong direction at first and wasted a lot of time. Later, he changed direction and soon found the brutal tribe.

"Pack your things, we'll go together." Alpha was worried that if they dispersed their actions, they would easily get lost, and he was also afraid that potential enemies would find an opportunity to defeat them one by one.

……

“Bab, Nyaddo, Kunze…” Looking at the tragic situation of the tribe, Yasuo was almost in despair.

"A bunch of beasts, a bunch of animals, they robbed everything, why did they kill people?" Fattam was extremely angry when he saw the scene in front of him. The scene that Duo Luo just explained was nothing compared to the big one. These robbers were completely heartless.

More than 100 people in the tribe were killed, their heads were cut off and piled together, and the frozen bodies of the men were stuck upside down in the ground, as if they were evil ghosts who would never be reborn. After being raped, the women were stripped naked, and wood was inserted into their genitals and pressed against the sky, screaming silently and painfully. Even the young children were not spared, and were hung on ropes, struggling desperately to be dried and eaten.

"I must kill them. I must kill them." There was only hatred and murderous intent in Yasuo's eyes. The tragic scene of the tribe made him unable to calm down.

"If I find them, I will not leave any of them alive!" Fattam swore angrily.

"Lilia, Doro and Quinn, go around and check if there are any survivors. Those people came in from the east, so focus on searching the west." Alpha gave the order expressionlessly, because anger was of no help at the moment.

"Snell, Afari and Aaron will be responsible for collecting the bodies. Fattam, Rowling and you will dig the pit with me." Alpha forgot the name of the last heavy warrior.

"Lord Alpha, I am Mousse Bull." The burly man introduced himself to Alpha. Alpha specially arranged him to be Fattam's deputy. Mousse Bull was sturdy, estimated to be two meters tall, and no one knew where he got the heavy armor from. In this weather, Mousse Bull was only wearing a cowhide coat, with thick skin and flesh, and he was really cold.

"Okay, Daniu, dig a hole for me." Alpha suddenly remembered his little friend Daniu and Agou from another era.

"Lord Alpha, I'm a Mousse Bull, not a Big Bull." The man looked confused.

"Okay, Daniel." Alpha deliberately called out the wrong name this time, recalling the taste of the past.

The presence of Fatam and Mousse Bull left Alpha and Rowling with nothing to do. Even on the frozen ground, they could create cracks by swinging maces and sledgehammers. Alpha and Rowling only had to carry the soil.

"Lord Alpha, let me do it. I want to do something for my family." The tragic fate made Yasuo silent and calm. The pain in his body could not cover up the wailing of his soul.

"Let Yasuo help!" Alpha knew the other party's pain and believed that doing something could alleviate Yasuo's inner pain.

"Lord Alpha, we have searched five hundred meters outward and haven't found a single living creature." Lilia searched carefully and not only did she not find any humans, she didn't even find any living animals.

"Okay, you guys help clean up, we'll rest here tonight." After just experiencing a tragedy and so many people died, Alpha actually didn't want to stay.

Lilia, Doro and the others began to look for available supplies, building tents, blankets and carpets. The robbers only destroyed these things, but did not take them away. Of course, they could not be used for living, so Alpha asked them to build a shelter for the horses.

"give it to you."
