I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Hand over that woman, or none of you will leave alive." Suddenly, a low threatening voice came from the corner, shocking everyone so much that they held their breath instantly.

The sudden sound terrified everyone present. Even Monkey, who had the best concealment ability, and Lilia, who had the best eyesight, did not notice it at all. Such stealth skills were chilling.

Everyone present took a guarded stance. Monkey drew out his dagger, Lilia assembled the compound bow, Aaron helped the woman out of the battlefield, Alpha and Tie Niu drew out their long knives and stepped forward, each holding a crossbow and staring around vigilantly.

"Even if we hand over the woman, you won't let us go." Although they don't know who this woman is, she seems to be very important to Alpha and others. According to the current situation, the other party is likely to kill them to silence them.

"Hand over the women, and we will make you die quickly." The shadow in the corner did not hide anything, and it was obvious that he was confident in his own strength. At the same time, a large number of warriors holding swords and knives poured out of the two passages.

"Ninja?" Alpha saw the warriors' attire at first glance and thought of the corresponding adjective.

"It seems that you know a lot, so I can't keep you here." Shadow stared at Alpha as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Kill them." Alpha and Shadow issued the attack order almost at the same time.

The Alpha team was too cunning, and immediately chose the continuous-fire crossbow, which was a modified second-generation continuous-fire crossbow. It could shoot ten times in a row and penetrate leather armor and five-centimeter-thick wooden boards within ten meters. The unprepared warriors suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Although the shadow had disappeared, which posed a huge threat to everyone, Alpha and his men were helpless in the melee.

"Kill them. The crossbow only has one round of arrows, and once it's shot, it's gone." The shadow's figure kept moving, and it was obvious that he was afraid of being discovered.

Indeed, as Shadow said, the crossbow arrows were powerful, but they were slow to load. In this case, they only had one chance to shoot at most, and could not fire a second round.

"Monkey, you are responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation; Lilia, you continue to output damage to the enemy; Tieniu, you charge out!" Alpha chose to cover the rear.

Although the sound of killing was deafening, no one was paying attention. Even passers-by took a detour, as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth. It was obvious that these people had a very strong background, and no matter whether they were officials or civilians, they would avoid them.

"Don't even think about escaping, kill them!" Shadow had assembled more than a hundred people for this mission, but at least thirty people were killed by the fierce shooting of the few people in front of him. Although there were not so many crossbows now, the enemy's archers were too accurate, so Shadow did not dare to show his head easily.

"Get out of here!" Tie Niu, dressed in armor and unafraid of the enemy's swords and knives, pushed the enemy in front of him directly onto the road.

The once bustling street was now empty, with all the shops on both sides closed and lights turned off. It was only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, but now it had become a road of no return.

The moment they stepped onto the road, the pressure on everyone doubled. The crowded path just now was not enough for the enemy to spread out, and now it was simply the enemy's home court.

"Lord Alpha, you go first, I will stop them!" Now it is impossible to tell what is in front and what is behind. Even Tie Niu has many wounds on his body. He wanted to fight his way out, but Tie Niu took the initiative to stay.

"No, the enemy will not let anyone go. Don't have any idea of ​​staying. Let's go together. Let's walk along the wall!" Alpha gave the order immediately.

"Don't worry," Alpha looked back at his teammates and looked forward with a firm gaze, "We will definitely get out alive."

Alpha held the knife tightly in his hand and rushed forward, while Tieniu stood on the other side and kept waving the long knife in his hand.

Despite the large number of enemies, Alpha and his teammates did not give up. Through tacit cooperation and superb fighting skills, they successfully rushed forward.

Despite the increasingly fierce enemy attacks, they still moved forward firmly. Led by Alpha, they avoided the range of the enemy archers and slowly moved towards the city gate.

Each step was extremely difficult, and the enemy's strength was getting stronger and stronger. The fierce battle had reached a climax, and the knife in Alpha's hand had already been bent. His hands and feet were cut, and his body was bleeding profusely. The tragic injuries quickly dyed his clothes bloody.

……

"Captain, it's really strange. Why is the stingy city lord so generous today? He actually gave us half a day off." The knight on holiday was half drunk and half awake, and his tone seemed to indicate he was quite dissatisfied with the city lord.

"Don't talk nonsense. The city lord is very considerate of us. Don't criticize the city lord in the future." Talos also drank a lot and needed the help of his subordinates to stand up.

"What is that?" Captain Talos staggered out of the tavern, and seemed to see something in his drunken eyes.

At this time, Talos pointed his finger at the figure on the street corner and suddenly shouted, "Wait, what is that!" Before his men could react, he continued, "It looks like a battle. It must be a riot."

Talos was right. If there were only a dozen people fighting on the streets, it could only be considered a brawl. But if there were more than a hundred people, it could be classified as a riot, which was a very serious problem.

Without thinking, Talos blew the whistle to signal the alarm. The Knight's adjutant immediately dissuaded him, "Captain, don't call the police yet. The mayor may have given us a holiday because of this incident. I'm afraid someone has already made the arrangements."

The adjutant was very thoughtful and immediately guessed that someone didn't want Talos to be on duty. After all, Talos was a well-known stubborn man who would never tolerate evil once he found it.

But Talos would not listen at all, and only wanted to maintain law and order: "There was a riot in my territory, I will never allow such a thing to happen."

"City Guards, assemble!" Knight Captain Talos roared and issued the order.

"Captain, today is our day off." A young knight responded lazily.

"I said assemble, didn't you hear me? Hurry up! They are acting so recklessly in our territory, we can't just sit back and watch!" Captain Talos' roar made the young knight run away, and soon, a group of knights in armor and holding spears gathered in front of Captain Talos.

"Captain, what's going on?" asked a knight.

"Is this country going to be ruined? We are allowing these thugs to run rampant in our city." Captain Talos did not answer his subordinates' questions, but simply expressed that he was very upset.

The thugs actually took advantage of their holiday to cause trouble in their own territory, which was a great insult to their guardian knights. The key point was that it seemed that the city lord did it on purpose.

"No matter what, the thugs must be captured." Captain Talos rode forward and led the knights into the thugs.

"Captain, something seems wrong. These thugs look well-trained." The subordinate said nervously. He looked at the thugs holding spears, wearing black clothes, black armor and black masks, and forming a neat and uniform formation, and felt a little unsure.

"Where did these people come from? It seems they are targeting us." The adjutant reminded again that the knights who came later only blocked the city guards and did not take the initiative to attack.

"What, are you scared? You are a knight, have you forgotten the oath you made? If you betray the dignity of a knight and go along with the dirty thugs, you can retreat, otherwise pick up your spears and charge at me." Captain Talos' words made the knights feel a heavy honor, as if disobeying the captain's order at this moment meant betraying the entire knights. They waved their spears in their hands and rushed towards the thugs aggressively.

"We are the guardian knights of the city of Balor. Everyone, get out of my way or you will be treated as a rioter." Talos held the spear firmly and began to charge.

Captain Talos led the knights to charge at the thugs, but something was wrong. The thugs looked like an organized and premeditated regular army.

This situation made Captain Talos and his men feel a little nervous. They began to wonder whether the purpose of these thugs appearing was to target their country and the city lord.

The knights brandished their spears and rushed towards the rioters with great momentum, ready to protect the people and uphold justice as guardian knights. However, the rioters did not panic as expected, but became more calm and composed. They arranged their formations in an orderly manner and formed a solid line of defense.

Captain Talos and his men were very surprised by the reaction of the thugs. They began to realize that these thugs might have been sent by other countries, but what was their purpose?

This idea made Captain Talos and his men feel very uneasy, because they knew that the honor and dignity of a knight were the most important things in their lives, and if they bowed to the mob, it would mean that they had betrayed their beliefs.

"Captain Talos, they seem to be the strongest black-armored knights of the Fatalia Empire." The black-armored knights' equipment was obvious, and the adjutant guessed their identity.

"Is this a national war? Is this a conspiracy?" Captain Talos was puzzled, but he knew that he had to defeat the enemy in front of him and not allow the enemy to wreak havoc on his own land.

……

"Hand over that woman, and I'll spare your lives." Looking at the people lying in a pool of blood, Shadow finally came out. Facing his threat, Alpha was not afraid at all, but laughed.

"Hahaha, do you think I will believe you?" He stood firmly and looked around. This battle was simply inexplicable to Alpha. He had no idea why he was fighting or who he was fighting for!

"You have no choice." Shadow had a blank expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Now, no matter whether he handed them over or not, these people in front of him were all dead in Shadow's eyes.

After a moment's silence, the woman protected by Aaron suddenly spoke.

"I'll go with you and you let them go." The woman said firmly and stood up.

"Thank you for your protection. It was me who harmed you." The woman bowed deeply to everyone, her eyes full of guilt and apology.

"If you leave like this, they won't let us go." Alpha panted, but his mind was clearer than ever. This is a trap. They want to break our fighting spirit! If we lose the person we have been protecting, it will be a huge blow to everyone.

"Kill them all. Leave no one alive." Shadow kicked the woman to the ground, stepped on her head and roared at Alpha and the others. This was a ruthless move, completely destroying the woman's psychological defenses.

"Let's do it." Suddenly, a smile appeared on Alpha's lips, and the people who supported each other actually took out the crossbows without arrows.

Instantly, countless crossbow arrows shot at the defenseless warriors around them, and Lilia's accurate shooting chased the shadows. It turned out that Aaron, who was hiding in the corner, had been loading arrows for everyone, and everyone was waiting for the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand.

"Despicable." Shadow was hit by three arrows, and he completely admitted defeat, eventually falling in a pool of blood.

"Lord Alpha, we won." Tie Niu panted.

Alpha and his team fought hard and finally defeated Shadow and his men. However, this victory did not mean that Alpha and his team could leave the scene easily.

Behind them, the knights in the melee continued to fight. In order to allow their companions to leave safely, Alpha, Talos and others resolutely chose to stay and fight a desperate battle with the black-armored knights.

Alpha looked at the starry night sky, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. Although this night was full of dangers and uncertainties, he also grew up a lot and realized the value and meaning of life more deeply.

"Aaron, Lilia, Monkey, take her away from here immediately. Tieniu, come with me to rescue people." Looking at the knights fighting behind him, Alpha could only continue fighting.

"Don't worry about us, just leave." Talos looked at Alpha approaching and shouted to stop him.

"We are the city guards, they can't do anything to us." The black-armored knights wanted to intercept Alpha and others, but were held back by the Knights of Talos. At this moment, their numerical advantage was fully demonstrated, and more than a dozen black-armored knights were surrounded by the Guardian Knights, who were five times their number.

Although the Guardian Knights were strong, the armor of the Black Knights was extremely defensive, and they could only leave some white marks on it after hacking for a long time. Fortunately, the helmets of the Black Knights were not as defensive as the armor, and Talos and his team fought to the point of injuring his teammates, but they also hacked down five Black Knights. The two sides fell into a stalemate, and it was difficult to determine the winner for a while.

"Brothers, I owe you a favor." Alpha knew it was useless to stay, so he pulled Tie Niu, rode on the warhorse, and galloped away.

Having lost his target, the Black-Armored Knight also disappeared on the street, coming and going without a trace. Even the fallen Black-Armored Knight disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

"Traitors, arrest them all." Suddenly, countless guardian knights surrounded them, and the leading knight shouted loudly.

"Knight Commander Ferta, a riot broke out in the city. Fortunately, our Third Regiment has fulfilled its mission and successfully repelled the rebels." However, Talos was suppressed by Ferta's personal guards just after he finished his report.

"The rebel I'm talking about is you, Talos. You disobeyed military orders and let the rebels escape. Your crime is even more serious. You will be imprisoned immediately and sentenced to be hanged in three days."
