I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"The traitor is you, Talos. You will be hanged in three days and imprisoned immediately!" Ferta pointed at Talos, not giving him any chance to argue.

"I demand to see the city lord. I have information to report!" Talos shouted loudly, but no one responded.

"Lord Ferta, Talos acted arbitrarily and sheltered rebels. His crime should be punished more severely. I am willing to testify for this." Unexpectedly, the adjutant knelt on one knee to Ferta to express his loyalty and allegiance.

"Well done, the third regiment is now under your command." From the tone of their voices, it can be judged that the two had already colluded with each other.

Whether Talos intervenes or not, he is doomed to be arrested. If he does not intervene, if a riot occurs in the area under his jurisdiction, he will be held accountable.

It was just that Talos was in the darkness, but he still refused to extinguish the light in his heart, which made him seem out of tune with the surrounding environment. Talos' fate was already determined, either he would be assimilated by the darkness or swallowed by it.

……

"Lord Ferta, I want to see Lord Rawls. I have information to report!" Seeing Ferta step into the prison, Talos immediately shouted.

"Captain Talos, don't you understand yet? There was no riot at all, and you can't see the city lord at all." Adjutant Torres stood up.

"What do you mean? You imprisoned the city lord?" Talos was confused and had no idea what had happened.

Captain Talos, don't you understand? The real master of Balor City is Lord Ferta, and the city lord is just a puppet. In troubled times, military power is supreme, and whoever has soldiers can make the decision.

Adjutant Torres reminded Talos with disgust.

"You are committing treason! Are there any other cavalrymen from the Fatalia Empire? What do you want to do?" If it was just a plot to usurp the throne, Talos would not be so angry. But these people actually placed soldiers from other countries in their own country, which revealed a hint of conspiracy.

"That's none of your business! I'm here to ask you one last time, are you willing to submit to me?" Philta still admired Talos very much. At least the nearly one thousand people in the third regiment were Talos's confidants. If he executed Talos, Philta would not know how to appease these one thousand people, which would undoubtedly be a big trouble.

"No, I will never bow to darkness. You are betraying the empire and the spirit of chivalry." Talos firmly objected.

"What a pity! If you were given another ten years, your achievements would definitely surpass mine. It's a pity that you don't have time." Ferta's expression was full of regret. He knew that Talos had a strong sense of individual and team. If he could be recruited for his own use, he would undoubtedly be a good player.

"I'll give you three days. If you are willing to submit to me, I will accept you." Philta left without waiting for Talos' response.

Talos was at a loss: "Oh God! Is our Kingdom of Potos going to be destroyed?" He prayed sincerely, but received no response.

……

"What a bunch of rubbish! I asked you to put on a good show and lure out Talos, but you actually lost that oriental woman. It's really shameful!" In a secret room, a bald warrior was scolding his men. His figure was like a pig, which made people feel disgusted.

"Sir, she is just a woman. Why are you so angry?" The woman next to him was scantily clad. The tulle on her body could hardly hide her proud figure. She twisted her body seductively and lay on the man.

"What do you know? That woman's background is not simple. I haven't gotten what I need from her yet. Once we are exposed and discovered by the person behind her, we will all be dead." The warrior grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her between his legs. The woman was afraid of the man's anger, so she unbuttoned the man's pants obediently, lowered her head and got into the man's clothes, and began to serve him.

"My lord, I'm ready. These women are all infected with the mother and child soul-chasing insects. As long as I take out the mother insect, none of them will be able to escape." An old wizard with a haggard face walked in from behind. The wrinkles on his face were like winding mountains, which set off his dark and deep eyes, making people shudder.

"This is the queen insect. As long as I wake up the queen insect, all the daughter insects that are more than one kilometer away from the queen insect will be awakened. They need to eat. If they don't come back, they will be devoured by the hungry daughter insects." The old witch took out a black box. Before she opened it, a bone-chilling cold air blew in her face, making people shudder. The fat pig warrior also shuddered.

"I'll leave this to you. It'd be best if you can catch her alive. Otherwise, let her die outside." The fat warrior didn't care about the fleeing woman. He was tired of playing around, and all that was left was the secret manual. The woman was not necessary, but the key was not to let her live outside.

"Yes, sir." The old witch began to pat the black box, and a series of horrible grinding sounds came out of the box.

……

"Ah!" Suddenly, the woman in the carriage let out a cry of pain and her whole body twitched violently.

"Aaron, come and see what's wrong with her?" Alpha was caught off guard by the woman's epileptic reaction.

"Lord Alpha, there is something foreign stirring inside her body." After a quick inspection, Aaron immediately understood the problem.

"Insect?" Alpha was shocked.

"Don't worry about me, just keep going." The woman clenched her teeth and said nothing, but the blood vessels all over her body bulged and she looked extremely painful.

"Aaron, is there any way to remove the poison?" The carriage did not stop, and Alpha would not give up the woman.

"It's easy to take it out. What I'm worried about now is that when the insect is removed, it will release toxins and the woman will definitely die." As a veterinarian, Aaron knew that this situation was not possible but inevitable.

"Don't worry, I have a way to relieve her pain." It is difficult to completely solve the problem, but it is still possible to relieve the pain.

Aaron took out a small bottle of black medicine and handed a pill to the woman. After taking the pill, the woman looked much more relaxed.

"This medicine has strong side effects, so try not to take it if you can." Aaron kindly reminded.

"This drug is highly addictive, so use it with caution," Aaron reminded with concern.

"I'll be careful." The woman put the medicine in her arms with a firm look.

"Thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me, I would have died long ago." The woman's tone was solemn. She shuddered at the thought that she would be dead if she was caught.

"You're welcome. We are the Alpha Mercenary Group, and I am the leader Alpha. I wonder why those people are chasing you? If it is inconvenient to tell you, you don't have to force it." Alpha had good intentions and did not deliberately pry into the woman's privacy.

The woman frowned and explained, "My name is Phyllis. There is actually a human trafficking organization hidden in the city of Balor. They snatch people from Portos and other areas, and then transport them to other areas."

"Why do they traffic in people?" Aaron was puzzled.

"Women can be provided for their entertainment, or sold to any person or organization in need. Other people will have their organs removed and either sold to some people for experiments, or used as organ transplant donors by people who 'eat whatever you want'." Phyllis didn't know much.

"Buying and selling human organs?" Alpha was shocked. Could it be that the medical science here has developed to the point where organ transplantation surgery can be performed?

"That's what the human traffickers say. If the buyer has a bad heart, they will sell him a person with a healthy heart as food. If one is not enough, they'll sell him two," Phyllis explained through gritted teeth.

"This method is simply impossible." Alpha could only complain silently.

"What's impossible?" Aaron, who is interested in medicine, asked with interest.

"Organ transplantation is too difficult," Alpha explained. "The first thing is blood type matching. Mismatched transplants will result in death."

"But, those cannibalistic nobles and human traffickers don't seem to be dead. The organs they ate seem to be able to play some role." Aaron mentioned his doubts.

"How is that possible?" Alpha sneered. "They eat it raw or cooked. There is no difference between human flesh and other animals. The real transplant is to remove the organs and directly exchange them for transplants. The biggest effect may be psychological effect, to feel superior."

If the nobles heard Alpha's explanation, they would probably never dare to try a real organ transplant again.

"I've been researching blood type matching recently. If successful, people who bleed too much on the battlefield can be effectively recovered in the future." Aaron listened, thoughtful.

"Keep working hard. If you need anything, just let me know." Alpha could only offer some ideas, but he had no idea of ​​the details. Alpha knew that Aaron had been experimenting on animals recently, and he supported that.

"Phyllis, doesn't the city lord care about those human traffickers?" Lilia frowned, with a puzzled tone.

"They are a nest of snakes and rats. I have seen official knights coming, but they just took out their anger on our bodies." Phyllis couldn't help but tremble when she mentioned those horrible days.

Alpha also knew that this was an era of cannibalism. Slave trading was actually legal, but it was only for black people other than white people. Even the yellow race was extremely cautious. After all, the holy war failed, and no one dared to provoke the Eastern Empire. But who would care about these things in private? Even if they found out, they would only say "Islanders" or "Indians".

"What are your plans for the future, Phyllis?" Alpha would not put himself in danger just because of a woman's words. It's not that Alpha is cold-blooded, but that he is too weak.

After all, the knights under his command were also human beings. Even against those unarmed warriors, they were almost wiped out. If they were to face fully armed knights, they would surely die. Alpha also had to consider his knights, and of course, his own life.

"Lord Alpha, I don't know either." Phyllis's eyes were full of confusion. She knew nothing about the future. If Alpha drove her away, she would have to fend for herself.

"Naga, Afari, take Phyllis to rest. She will follow us for the time being. If you want to leave, let Afari tell me." Alpha was gradually changing his previous ideas.

When he first came to this world, Alpha was always thinking about equality and freedom, and allowed his subordinates to think for themselves. However, the world was too chaotic, and they had no ability to protect themselves. The price of freedom was too high. Now, Alpha would no longer let them make their own decisions unless they specifically asked for it.

Lilia went to invite Rowling, Makina and Flinna, we need to hold a meeting to discuss the next work arrangements. After three days of preparation, the team's supplies have been fully stocked, but the biggest problem is the serious shortage of personnel, which makes Alpha upset.

Fortunately, the materials for gunpowder are ready, and Alpha is ready to start experimenting with the proportions. This is also good news.

"Commander Alpha, are you ready to suppress the bandits?" There was a hint of resentment in Florina's tone. After all, this commander clearly belonged to her, but was snatched away by Alpha.

"The materials are ready, but we are short of manpower. We need to discuss how to increase the manpower." Alpha knew that he couldn't be too complacent, and he needed to pool ideas. There is strength in numbers, and he understood the principle that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

"How is that possible? Don't they say that as long as there is money, mercenaries will be willing to come?" Florina found it unbelievable that she couldn't recruit people even though she had money.

"How much did you give?" Florina asked doubtfully, thinking that Alpha was withholding wages and embezzling the money.

"I gave five gold coins a month, which is nearly twice the normal salary of three gold coins." Alpha knew that if he wanted to get a high return, he couldn't save money in this area, even if he had no money now.

"Impossible, it's impossible that no one would come with such a salary." Florina couldn't believe it.

"I have accepted the official mission to eliminate the bandits." Alpha guessed that the inability to recruit people now might be related to this incident.

"Why did you accept this mission? This mission has been going on for ten years, and the mercenary group has suffered heavy casualties and has not yet completed it. Everyone just wants to make money to support their families, but doesn't want to spend it at the cost of their lives. No wonder you can't recruit anyone." Florina looked surprised.

However, no one knows the real reason - someone is interfering. The Menis village is deeply rooted in the local area, and now there are external forces involved. Both official and private forces will obstruct and destroy it.

"What should we do now?" Alpha was also helpless.

"Wait, I need to verify something." Alpha seemed to have suddenly thought of something and decisively asked everyone to go back first.

"Lilia, please let Monkey come over." Alpha needed to verify something, and Flora did not leave.

In recent days, Flynn has been very bored. Some people look for trouble when they have nothing to do. Flynn is just that kind of person, and Alpha has no choice but to let her wander around his conference room.

"Monkey, go to Balor again tomorrow morning. Remember, this time you have only one task: to confirm whether Talos is safe. You don't have to contact him deliberately, just make sure that he is okay." Alpha was a little anxious, always feeling that this matter was not simple.

Alpha's encounter with Phyllis was purely accidental, but those warriors and knights were well prepared. They would not target him, nor would they do it just to capture Phyllis. So, what was their real purpose?

"Okay, leave this to me." Although he had just killed a group of people in Balor, this task was very simple thanks to Monkey's skills and disguise abilities.

"Master Alpha, this is what I found on the shadow. See if you can use it." The monkey wanted to learn the shadow's hiding technique. Unfortunately, the monkey couldn't read the book on the shadow, so he had to ask Alpha for help.

"Okay, leave this to me. I'll translate it for you." Alpha flipped through it casually and found that it was in oriental language. However, the language used traditional Chinese characters and special punctuation marks, so Alpha needed some time to study it.

"Monkey, ask Rowling to bring the things I asked her to keep. But ask her to prepare them first, I will need them tomorrow." Looking at Florina's somewhat angry expression, Alpha knew that the first person he should satisfy now should be his queen.

"Yes, Lord Alpha." The monkey closed the door and left.

"Lick my feet."

"Get down here."

"Can't you just let me go a little?"
