I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 437 Death Passage, a Road of No Return

Alpha knew that it was unfair to put all the blame on the dark elves. Just like what happened with Kaylid, it was unreasonable to let the entire human race bear the blame for the actions of a few humans.

As the two were arguing, the monkey in front suddenly sent a message: "Master Alpha, there is an enemy patrol ahead."

"Keep quiet and find a place to hide." Alpha made a prompt decision and asked everyone to hide in the corner. At the same time, he signaled Mai to take out the map to check their specific location.

Mai pointed to the map and explained, "We are still two kilometers away from our goal, but we will encounter six forks along the way, and two intersections that are more than fifty meters long."

Alpha knew that there were patrols here, which meant that there were more guards inside and the risk factor would be greatly increased. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is there any other passage?"

Mai shook his head and replied, "Yes, there is, but we need to go an extra 20 kilometers, and it will probably take half a day." He knew that while moving underground, their speed could not be increased at all.

Alpha weighed the pros and cons and made a decisive decision: "Then we can only approach from here and put on werewolf fur."

The werewolf fur was carefully prepared for this mission, but due to the rush of time, the processing was not satisfactory, leaving many obvious flaws. If it were not an emergency, they would never use it easily.

At this moment, they had to take the risk of blending into the enemy's camp. Alpha's eyes were firm and resolute, and he knew that this was a life-and-death battle. He knew that he and his teammates had an important mission and had to go all out. If they were not careful, they might fall into an irreversible situation.

In the process of blending in with the enemy, they must remain highly vigilant and carefully conceal their identities. Every movement and every expression may reveal their true identity, so they must be flawless.

Alpha kept reminding himself to stay calm and composed. He had to lead his teammates to complete the mission. In order to win, they must overcome all difficulties.

Alpha took a deep breath and led his teammates step by step towards the enemy. Their heartbeats were particularly clear in the silent night, as if foreshadowing the difficulty of this battle. However, they did not retreat and faced the upcoming challenge without fear.

"Gulu, gurgle, scratch it..." Alpha was concentrating on counting the number of enemies. He never expected that the werewolf coming towards him would talk a lot of gibberish, and no one could understand it.

"It's time for dinner tonight. It doesn't matter if you didn't, I'll treat you!" Alpha spoke a lot in Chinese, but no one could understand him.

"Hoo, horse neigh, bone rustling..." The werewolf also responded with a series of gurgling sounds, which no one could understand either.

"Boss, their taste is impure, there's something wrong." Suddenly, the Wolf Knight behind him noticed something unusual.

"What?" The wolf knight captain was originally just testing casually and communicating in animal language. He thought the other party was not from the same tribe, so they could not communicate in the same language.

However, the wolf knights had no chance. Everyone acted quickly, and before more than 20 wolf knights could even call for help, they were brutally killed by Alpha and his men.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do? We are all covered in blood." Monkey asked worriedly. There was no way for everyone to clean up now, and being exposed was inevitable.

"Lead the way and charge forward." Alpha led the team forward without hesitation.

"Lord Alpha, you are wrong. That is not the fastest route." Mai shouted hurriedly.

"Enemy invasion, enemy invasion!" Alpha hurried and shouted loudly while running.

"Stop! Stop! Where is the enemy?" The guard in front shouted loudly and sternly, while trying to calm the chaotic crowd.

"There are hundreds of people right behind us, all enemies!" Alpha at the back pushed the confused werewolves in front hard, completely ignoring the guards' obstruction.

"Keep moving forward and kill without mercy!" The guard was quite courageous. He immediately hacked to death a werewolf running around to set an example.

However, Alpha and the others were clearly well prepared. They hid their daggers and pounced on them like hungry tigers.

For this mission, they deliberately chose short weapons. After all, long weapons are difficult to hide under the werewolf's fur.

Alpha led the charge, and he was so fast, like lightning, that he rushed in front of the guarding werewolf in the blink of an eye. He brandished a dagger and stabbed the guard officer in the vitals.

The werewolf guard dodged Alpha's attack and swung his sword to counterattack. Alpha jumped back to avoid the guard's claws and rushed forward again.

Other team members also joined the battle, and they fought fiercely with the guards. The dagger flashed coldly in the air, and every swing carried a deadly threat. Although the werewolf's fur was tough, it also seemed a little fragile in front of the sharp dagger.

The battle was extremely brutal, blood was splattered everywhere, and the ground was already covered with corpses. Alpha and his team gradually gained the upper hand, their coordination was tacit, and their movements were swift, leaving the guards overwhelmed.

In the chaos, Alpha found an opportunity, he rushed forward, and stabbed the guard officer's heart with his dagger. The guard officer stared at Alpha with wide eyes, and then fell to the ground.

The moment the werewolf guard fell, the morale of the other guards collapsed instantly, and they fled in panic. Seeing this, Alpha and his team did not hesitate to pursue the victory and quickly killed the werewolves in the passage.

"Don't be distracted by the enemies in other passages. We must go straight forward along the shortest passage." Alpha knew that their whereabouts had been exposed. Time was running out and they had to race against time.

"The first six-channel node is ahead, and the number of enemies is probably quite large." Mai reminded everyone worriedly. Two people in their ten-man team were already injured, and the number of enemies was still increasing.

"Rush forward in one go! Remember, our goal is not to kill the enemy, but to kill our way through the passage." Alpha made the final mobilization. However, he also knew that the next situation was unpredictable.

At this time, the passage was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone's nerves were tense. They held their weapons tightly and moved forward with firm steps. Alpha led the team and rushed to the front.

When they approached the node of channel six, just as Mai had worried, the number of enemies was huge and densely packed throughout the channel.

However, Alpha and his team did not retreat. With fearless courage and tenacious fighting spirit, they resolutely engaged in the battle.

The sound of fierce fighting echoed in the passage, the flash of swords, and the bloody wind. Alpha and his team worked closely together, displayed superb fighting skills, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the enemy. They fought hard, advancing step by step, and resolutely killing towards the other end of the passage.

In the fierce battle, the team members showed fearless courage and tenacious perseverance. They worked closely together, supported each other, and protected each other, forming an indestructible line of defense.

They use their bodies to block the enemy's fierce attacks and create precious opportunities for their teammates. Every swing of the sword contains a strong desire for survival and a firm persistence in the mission.

Sweat poured down like rain, soaking their clothes and mixing with blood. However, despite being exhausted and covered with wounds, their eyes still shone with determination.

That light comes from the deep belief in their hearts and the persistent pursuit of victory. They clearly know that only by uniting as one and not backing down can they defeat the powerful enemy and complete the difficult task.

In this brutal battle, the team members are not only comrades-in-arms, but also each other's support and spiritual pillar. They encourage each other and face the test of life and death together. Their tacit understanding and trust enable them to make accurate judgments and decisions in an instant, and achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

The smoke of battle filled the air, and the figures of the team members shuttled through it. Their bravery and tenacity became the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.

"Lord Alpha, let me use the power of magic to defeat the enemy!" The elf Evelyn anxiously watched the knights around her fall one by one, and her usually calm face could not help but reveal a hint of impulse. She was eager to release the power of magic to provide assistance to her comrades.

Alpha gasped, pulled Evelyn aside, and said firmly: "No, it's not the right time yet. Your magic is used to destroy the magic circle, and you can't use it easily now." Alpha's eyes revealed firmness and determination.

“But…” Evelyn wanted to argue.

"No buts! If we can't reach our destination and destroy the teleportation array, we will be truly hopeless." Alpha kicked an enemy over and dragged Evelyn forward. He knew that every step at this moment was related to the outcome of the battle.

Evelyn understood her responsibility, she held the crossbow tightly and shot the enemy. She knew that in this situation, as an elf, it was not her advantage to directly participate in the battle. However, she also knew that everyone was fighting to protect her, and she had to survive to destroy the magic circle.

"Lord Alpha, we have successfully broken through the enemy's defense line! Quickly withdraw the team." The monkey in front shouted excitedly.

"Okay, everyone follow me!" Alpha held off the enemy's attack and bought time for everyone to retreat into the passage.

"Lord Mai, we have tried our best. The rest is up to you." The two dark elves were seriously injured. They knew that continuing to move forward would only become a burden to everyone, so they decided to stay and block the enemy's pursuit.

"Let's go! We can't let their sacrifice go to waste." Alpha pulled Mai and continued forward without hesitation.

"Lord Alpha, your legs, your back..." Evelyn looked at Alpha's bleeding wound, her heart filled with worry. She performed healing magic while comforting him.

"Don't worry, we won't fall down easily. Let's go and treat others first." Alpha's treatment room was emitting light energy. This energy was like poison to the dark elves, but it could be used to heal themselves.

"Okay." Evelyn has gradually matured. In this bloody battlefield, everyone is constantly improving and growing. If there is no growth, then you can only stay in the pool of blood forever and become a lifeless corpse.

With Evelyn's careful treatment, everyone's complexion improved. However, facing the remaining one kilometer, everyone felt that it was an extremely long road, as if it would never be finished.

……

In the enemy's headquarters, a knight commander was listening to the werewolf's report: "Sir, a group of rats broke into our rear."

There was a hint of panic in the wolf's voice. He continued to explain: "The underground space is complicated. When we found the enemy, they had already attacked us from the rear. There were ten enemy teams in total, each with ten people. They were all elite and wreaked havoc in our rear."

The Knight Commander's tone was icy cold: "Are you saying that you, with so many people, can't hold on? The enemy is only a hundred people."

The werewolf tried to explain his difficulties, but his words aroused the suspicion of the Knight Commander: "Sir Knight Commander, that's not the case. We can definitely stop them. They are just some annoying little mice. I will kill them all."

The werewolf realized that his complaint had caused the Knight Commander's dissatisfaction, and he was so scared that he immediately put away all his resentment.

"Hurry up and kill the enemies!" The Knight Commander's angry roar echoed in the command center.

The front line was tense and the enemy launched a counterattack. Once the enemy pressed the front line to the gourd mouth, even if there were a large number of people, there would be nothing they could do.

Therefore, they were unable to dispatch troops to support the rear, and the enemies in the rear were only a few hundred people, which was not a numerical advantage compared to the three thousand werewolves guarding the rear.

However, the Knight Commander began to doubt the werewolves' abilities, so he made a prompt decision and ordered the vampire boss Carlson to go and protect the teleportation array and ignore other places.

"Yes, Lord Knight!" Carlson did not dare to disobey in the slightest and immediately rushed to the rear to provide support.

"Lord Alpha, I always feel that something is wrong. According to common sense, as we attack, the enemy's guards should gradually increase, but in fact, they have not increased much. What is going on?" Mai was full of doubts. Perhaps he already understood the reason, but was unwilling to say it out loud.

"Is our destination wrong? Or is the enemy distracted by other things and has no time to care about us? Or are they not afraid of us going to the teleportation area at all?" Alpha began to fall into deep thought.

"Lord Alpha, I can confirm that the location we are exploring is absolutely correct." The monkey said in a firm tone.

"The route we took couldn't be wrong." Mai's words clearly implied that she doubted the monkey's reconnaissance ability.

"Wait, stop arguing. This will only disrupt our strategy." Alpha stopped the quarrel between the monkey and Mai in time.

"Lord Alpha, I heard before that our second group is not just one group, but actually there are ten groups. But they were afraid that we would not be willing to fight after knowing the truth, so they only told us that there was one group." Mashu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Mashu, where did you hear that?" Mai asked back immediately. The two brothers, who were originally close, had a rift because of the previous assassination. Although their father was safe and sound, the death of his brother was an indisputable fact.

"I just heard it by chance outside the secret room, and I don't know whether it is true or not." Mashu didn't dare to look directly into Mai's eyes. After all, it was her mistake that led to her brother's death.

"This is also a possibility. I think the enemy must have deployed a large number of personnel in the teleportation area, so they are not worried at all that we will go there and cause damage." Alpha stopped everyone's mutual suspicion.
