I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 447: Front and rear attack, mid-range breakthrough

Alpha took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He brandished the long sword in his hand and rushed towards the enemy in front of him. His guards followed closely behind him, forming an indestructible line of defense.

At the same time, Melissa led Lister's five heavily armored knights and forty dwarf warriors to cut into the enemy's formation from the side. They swept through like a whirlwind, dividing the enemy.

On the battlefield, the sounds of shouting and killing and metal clashing intertwined to form a tragic symphony. Alpha led the way and engaged in a fierce fight with the enemy. Every time he swung his sword, it brought endless power, making the enemy tremble with fear.

Inspired by him, the dwarf warriors also showed a tenacious fighting spirit. Although they were short in stature, they were agile and coordinated, causing great trouble to the enemy.

Melissa and Lister's heavy armored knights were not to be outdone. They used the advantages of their heavy armor to resist the enemy's attacks, while constantly advancing forward, forcing the enemy into a desperate situation.

After a thrilling half-hour battle, the twenty-odd people led by Alpha miraculously defeated the three hundred-odd people in the rear. Looking at the werewolves fleeing everywhere, Alpha did not choose to pursue them, after all, the cave was complicated and the situation changed rapidly.

"Evelyn, you are responsible for treating the wounded, I will go to the rear for support!" Alpha tightly grasped the long sword with the blade already bent, turned around and rushed back to the battlefield without hesitation.

However, the battle in the rear was equally fierce. Under the pincer attack from Lister and Melissa, the 500 werewolves in the middle were in a desperate situation, with little chance of escape, which also inspired their desperate fighting spirit, causing the battle to take a long time.

"Treat the wounded, everyone else move forward immediately!" Alpha carried the wounded aside, gave him some simple treatment, and then cast magic with Evelyn to speed up his recovery.

"Lord Alpha, we are back!" At this time, Maven, Gecko and Mash also rushed back to the team.

"Okay! Gecko, you lead the men to explore the way ahead; Maven, you are responsible for cleaning up the rear; Lister, you and I will be responsible for the enemies in the middle. Everyone just need to chase for fifty meters, don't chase too deep." Alpha gave the order without hesitation.

This is underground, the terrain is complex, and a distance of 50 meters is enough to make people lose their way. If the pursuit is too deep, the team is likely to be separated from the main force, or even encounter unexpected dangers. However, the urgency of the mission is particularly important. Alpha knows that time is precious and must complete the mission in the shortest possible time.

"Yes, Master Alpha!" Everyone took the order and attacked quickly. Gecko led a team of elites, moving lightly in front. Relying on their keen intuition and familiarity with the terrain, they carefully explored the way forward.

Mei Wen led another team to guard the rear vigilantly. They carefully checked every corner to make sure there were no enemy remains or ambushes.

Lister followed Alpha closely, his eyes sharp and determined. There were many enemies in the middle, but Lister was not afraid. He and Alpha cooperated with each other, and they fought off the enemy's attacks again and again. Their attacks were like a storm, leaving the enemy breathless.

In the fierce battle, time passed by minute by minute. Everyone had the same goal in mind - to move forward. They knew that every step was full of danger, but they did not retreat and moved forward firmly.

The straight-line distance between the ground and underground is not long, but it seems particularly far in this underground environment. Everyone in the team is concentrating, not daring to relax at all. Their heartbeats are like war drums, motivating them to keep moving forward.

"Mevin, notify Gecko to find a suitable place to rest before fighting again." Alpha's voice came clearly amid the noise of the battle.

Although Alpha still has the ability to continue fighting, the non-combatants such as the goblins are already out of breath, and their physical strength has been exhausted in the continuous fierce battle.

In addition, the weapons in everyone's hands have varying degrees of damage and urgently need to be repaired in time to maintain the best combat condition.

After the team stopped, the dwarves immediately began to arrange the work tasks. They showed unparalleled endurance, worked closely with the team, and acted quickly, without anyone falling behind. The dwarves' superb skills were fully utilized at this time, and they focused on repairing weapons and equipment, not missing any details.

After the dwarves' careful repairs, the weapons and equipment looked brand new. Everyone felt the dwarves' professionalism and hard work, and praised their skills. At this moment, the team's morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was confidently ready to meet the next challenge.

During the rest period, the team members also exchanged experiences and lessons learned in the battle. They discussed the optimization of tactics and how to better collaborate to improve the combat effectiveness of the entire team. This kind of communication not only strengthened the cohesion of the team, but also made them more fully prepared for the next battle.

After the rest, everyone regrouped and was refreshed. Carrying their newly repaired weapons and equipment, they continued to move forward with firm steps. The road ahead might still be full of dangers, but they were ready to deal with all the difficulties.

In the dark environment, a huge abyss blocked the way forward, and its width reached an astonishing fifty meters. Alpha asked worriedly: "Dal, is there any way to quickly cross this cliff?"

The biggest problem with the third plan was the abyss in front of us. The map showed that there was a collapsed road five kilometers to the south, which required climbing down and then climbing up. The depth was about one hundred meters, and the road was extremely dangerous.

For a small group of troops, crossing this canyon crack might not be a problem, but there are nearly 600 of them, and taking the road below would be very slow and their safety could not be guaranteed.

"Lord Alpha, let me go check it out." Bruce Dahl led the dwarf craftsmen to patrol both sides.

At the same time, Alpha sent Gecko to lead a small team to conduct reconnaissance from the collapse site to the other side. After all, they knew nothing about the situation on the other side, and necessary reconnaissance was indispensable.

"Lord Alpha, based on our exploration, we can build an iron wire bridge at the nearest place here. We have brought the tools, now we just need to insert the rope to the other side." Dal took out the iron wire unique to the dwarves.

These iron wires are as thin as cicada silk, but extremely tough, and their strength is comparable to that of steel. Just one such iron wire is enough to bear the weight of the heaviest wild boar warrior.

"Won't a person get cut if he stands on such a thin wire?" Although Alpha trusted the dwarves' craftsmanship, he also knew that the wire was as thin as a sword, like walking on a knife mountain.

"Lord Alpha, this is not the main material of the wire bridge. It is only used to facilitate subsequent construction." Dal explained.

"What are you going to do? How long will it take?" Of course, this is the key point of Alpha's question. Otherwise, it is not impossible to let the personnel slowly pass through the landslide.

At the intense construction site, Dahl explained to everyone: "We plan to spend half a day to build a giant crossbow to deliver the wires, and then spend another two days to build a four-wire bridge."

However, Alpha thought two days was too long, so he decided to let the elf Maven join the construction. At the same time, Gecko and others had already stepped into the passage on the other side.

In order to find the shortest distance, the two sides used torches to illuminate and communicate. After measurement, the distance was about thirty meters, which reduced the workload by more than ten meters.

Alpha called Maven to shoot arrows, and Maven said without hesitation that he could shoot the iron wire over. In this way, the time for setting up the crossbow was saved and the construction period was shortened by one day. Alpha could accept this result.

After the iron cable was fixed, the dwarves began to prepare other tools. At this time, the elf Evelyn came over and said to Alpha: "In fact, it doesn't take that much trouble for us to make the connecting bridge. We elves can do it with magic."

Alpha knew very well that magic was powerful and almost omnipotent, and he was very interested in Evelyn's suggestion.

"You guys give it a try, working on both sides simultaneously can speed up the process." Mashu's subsequent reconnaissance found that the enemy was approaching and this place would soon become a battlefield.

Alpha agreed to Evelyn's plan and assigned the task to Kaya and Yun Duo. Both of them were elves who were good at wood magic, so it was most appropriate for them to be responsible for making the wood vines.

Kaya and Yun Duo cast their magic without hesitation. Although the surrounding environment was mainly rocky and not conducive to plant growth, it did not affect their performance.

The strength of plants lies in their ability to take root in the cracks of rocks. As the vine continued to grow, it had stretched out one-third of the cliff. However, under the expectant gaze of everyone, the vine eventually fell into the abyss due to lack of support.

Evelyn thought for a moment and said to Yun Duo, "You guys continue to control the direction of the vines' growth. I'll figure out how to get through."

On the edge of a desolate and dark cliff, Evelyn looked at Melissa with a firm gaze and said solemnly: "Melissa, the rest of the task is left to you."

Without hesitation, Melissa replied, “No problem.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Melissa finished speaking, she resolutely jumped off the cliff. This sudden scene scared everyone.

Everyone hurried to the edge of the cliff to check the situation. However, at this moment, Melissa flapped her green wings and flew up like a light butterfly.

Alpha's eyes showed worry. Evelyn saw this and quickly explained, "Don't worry, Lord Alpha. Melissa majored in wind magic. This time she chose the wings of the elves, which allow her to fly freely in the sky. It's just that the environment of the underground world limits her ability to perform."

Alpha realized that his understanding of the elves was not deep enough. He reflected to himself that along the way, he had either been fighting or recuperating from injuries, and had no extra time to pay attention to other things.

Evelyn's face was filled with excitement, and she said excitedly: "Success, Lord Alpha! Now we just need to reinforce the vines to complete the vine bridge." This was the result of the joint efforts of the elves, and they were extremely proud of it.

Dahl looked at the completed wooden vine bridge next door, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart. He asked Alpha, "Lord Alpha, do we still need to continue our iron chain bridge?"

Alpha seemed to sense the sourness in Dahl's tone, and he immediately comforted him: "Go on, your mission is equally important. Although the magic of the elves is powerful, it cannot last long and is almost disposable. In contrast, your manufacturing technology is the main force, which can ensure that the iron chain bridge is safe and sound for ten, twenty years or even longer. Different divisions of labor, each has its own strengths."

When Dar heard Alpha's encouragement, he immediately became energetic, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and was full of passion.

Alpha arranged for the lightest dark elves to pass first, followed by the goblins and dwarf warriors. However, when the human heavy knights and boar riders began to cross the bridge, they could clearly hear the vines being torn apart. Alpha made a prompt decision and stopped their advance.

At the same time, the enemies from the rear were approaching, and Alpha had to stop the dwarf warriors and fight against the werewolf's attack.

This was easy for Lister's heavy knights, who could transport their equipment and personnel separately, but the boar warriors could not be separated.

"Lord Alpha, please let us stay and cover your retreat! We are very grateful for your care and concern, Lord Alpha, and now let us repay you." The boar rider captain Becca expressed his gratitude excitedly. At this moment, he was willing to give up his life for Alpha.

"Stop talking nonsense, we are going together." Alpha stopped Becca from doing that.

"Dal, can you make a chain and tie up the boar warriors to hang directly from the chain bridge?" Alpha looked at the chain bridge that was only connected by two ropes. Considering the rude actions of the boar warriors, he thought it would be better to let them go directly through the collapsed road.

"No problem." Dahl made a prompt decision and immediately instructed the remaining dwarves to change the direction of manufacturing. The main iron wire of the simple iron chain hanging on the body is extremely strong and can withstand it, not to mention that there are still two of them now.

"Fanxing, Evelyn, you go first. Mashu, come with me to meet the enemy's main force." Alpha stared at the boar warriors as they slowly moved over. At the same time, he began to command the dwarf warriors on the front line to retreat in an orderly manner, and he and Mashu filled the gap in defense.

"Lord Alpha, and me." Maven chose to stay without hesitation.

"Okay, you help us snipe those sneak attacking enemies from behind." Alpha arranged for Maven to stay behind, so that they formed a stable triangle formation that could withstand any attack from the enemy.

Alpha stood firm on the front line like an indestructible fortress, and his courage and tenacity infected everyone. Mashu turned into a crazy assassin, moving freely in the enemy camp and killing countless enemies. Maven was an excellent long-range shooter, and his attacks were accurate and deadly, not inferior to anyone.

The three of them worked closely together, each doing their own job, and jointly guarding their comrades and homes behind them. With their efforts, the enemy's attacks were repelled again and again, and the morale of the dwarf warriors became increasingly high.

"Assholes, I'm going to kill you."
