I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 425: The Power of Science, Infinite Power

"Take out the gunpowder from the bullets and mix it evenly with the powder." Alpha arranged carefully, as if he was planning a shocking conspiracy.

The soldiers followed orders, carefully taking out the gunpowder and mixing it with the powder. This seemingly simple action contained Alpha's well-thought-out plan.

Maven's doubts were not dispelled, and he asked in confusion: "Master Alpha, can this really cause harm to the giant centipede?"

Alpha smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "These are not just ordinary powder and gunpowder. They will cause an earth-shattering explosion, enough to destroy the giant centipede."

A trace of worry flashed in Meiwen's eyes, and he couldn't help but remind: "But, will such an explosion also cause danger to us?"

Alpha answered confidently: "We will choose a suitable time and location to detonate and ensure our own safety. Moreover, only in this way can we completely resolve this huge threat."

Alpha's plan made everyone nervous and excited. He realized that this would be a life-and-death battle, but he was also worried about whether Alpha's plan could succeed.

The soldiers worked closely together and prepared the powder explosive packs according to Alpha's instructions. They understood that this was the key to their victory over the giant centipede and the only hope to protect their own lives and those of their companions.

In the tense atmosphere, time passed by every second.

At the critical moment when everyone was ready to put the explosive packs in place, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. The monkey quickly came over, panting and shouting loudly: "Master Alpha, a giant centipede has appeared! I found a passage suitable for accommodating the centipede."

Alpha did not hesitate and gave the order decisively: "Everyone carry the explosive packs and follow me! Monkey leads the way, and Lister leads the knights to stop the giant centipede."

"Lister, you take your men to guard the entrance later. You don't have to do anything else, just block the entrance. I will leave the elven wizard to assist you." Alpha ordered loudly.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will take care of the enemy's rear." Lister knew that once the giant centipede passed, the rear would be the safest area, so he took the task without hesitation.

"Mevin, Evelyn, one of you stays behind to lead half of the elves to assist Lister, and the other one holds the giant centipede at the back. After all the giant centipedes have entered the passage, Lister will immediately block the entrance and try to make sure there are no gaps. The elves will be responsible for preventing the enemy from moving." Alpha arranged everything in an orderly manner, while not forgetting to explain the details.

The group quickly split into two teams, with Maven and three elves staying behind with Lister. After all, the risk factor in the rear was lower, and the focus was still on Alpha's decoy troops.

On Alpha's side there were five Boar Riders, five Imperial Knights, six Elves including Evelyn, and his own Shadow Knight.

"Place the explosive packs above your head and distribute them evenly." Alpha gave orders quickly while retreating.

"The giant centipede is coming!" the knight at the back shouted loudly.

"Block it, retreat slowly, and attract the enemy into the passage." Alpha had to cleverly guide the giant centipede to slowly enter the passage to realize his plan.

"Evelyn, Monkey, control your strength. Don't push the centipede into a desperate situation. Let it feel that it can break through our defenses if it holds on a little longer. Never let it retreat." Alpha stared at the huge centipede in front of him, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew very well how powerful this centipede was and had to deal with it with caution.

Evelyn understood what he meant. She knew that now was not the time to go all out. She quickly made arrangements and directed the team members to adjust their tactics. "Everyone, follow my instructions. Rest in batches, maintain your strength, and be ready to deal with the centipede's attack at any time."

The team members responded one after another, and followed Evelyn's instructions to rest and prepare in an orderly manner. They knew that this battle had just begun, and they would need even more tenacious fighting spirit and superb skills.

Alpha and Evelyn closely watched the centipede's every move. They had to grasp the opportunity, neither letting the centipede break through easily nor letting it lose confidence to move forward. This was a battle of psychology and strength, and only by finding the best balance point could they achieve the final victory.

In this tense battle, every decision is crucial. Alpha and Evelyn, with their rich experience and excellent leadership, led the team to gradually take the initiative. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to defeat the giant centipede and protect everything they cherished.

"Why isn't it over yet? Is there no end to this centipede?" Alpha's voice was full of dissatisfaction and fatigue, and he couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Lord Alpha, according to my observation, the length of this giant centipede is approximately sixty to seventy meters, and we have now advanced about sixty meters." The monkey's voice echoed in the passage, and he reminded Alpha loudly.

"Okay, retreat another ten meters and completely surround the giant centipede." Alpha made a prompt decision and gave the order. He knew that he could not relax at this time and had to concentrate on dealing with the crisis at hand.

"Lord Alpha, I seem to have found something unusual in the centipede's nest." There was a hint of excitement and nervousness in the monkey's tone. He seemed to have found some important clues, which was why these centipedes discovered his traces.

"Let's get rid of the enemy in front of us first, and deal with other things later." Alpha knew very well that the situation was extremely critical at the moment, and any distraction could lead to disastrous consequences.

"The distance is almost right. Get ready to completely suppress this giant centipede." Alpha gave an order and everyone took action immediately.

The knights launched a full-scale sniper attack, and the elves cast magic to try to restrain the centipede. Everyone knew their mission and devoted themselves to the battle with all their strength.

"Block the passages on both sides." Alpha knew very well the power of gunpowder powder, which could only exert its maximum effect in a closed environment.

However, this means blocking the retreat of the knights in front. They will face great risks, but this is a necessary decision for the ultimate victory.

The latter situation is relatively easier to deal with. As long as the entrance of the hole is sealed, the centipede can be effectively prevented from escaping.

However, the knights in front will have to face the monster's attack, and the closure of the cave entrance also means that they have lost their retreat.

"Lord Alpha, don't worry about us, just block the retreat." The Hog Rider's voice came, and his awareness was surprising. He understood the current situation and was willing to make sacrifices for the team's victory.

The two boar knights were the warriors that Alpha had treated before. In the Ottoman Empire, although they were called knights, they were actually regarded as disposable consumables. Apart from eating and drinking, they also slept every day.

However, in Alpha, they are respected and regarded as their own people, true knights. Therefore, they are willing to fight for Alpha and die on the battlefield.

"Evelyn, we're counting on you guys." Alpha would never give up on them. He knew that these boar riders had firm beliefs and courage, and they were comrades he could trust.

At this critical moment, Alpha believes that they can exert their greatest strength and defeat the enemy together. This trust and reliance comes from Alpha's understanding and respect for them. He understands that every life has its value and should be cherished.

"Lord Alpha, leave this to us!" Evelyn's eyes were determined, and she used her own artifact, the Elf Crown, without hesitation.

This crown shines with a mysterious light. It is a magical equipment that can break through limits. It can not only accelerate the release of magic, but also enhance the power of magic. It can be called a magician's peerless artifact.

Alpha stared at the giant centipede trapped by Evelyn's magic. He made a prompt decision and ordered the two boar riders to retreat quickly. The boar riders were well-trained and responded to Alpha's order immediately.

"Quick! Block the gap!" Alpha shouted at the top of his lungs, and all the personnel moved at the command.

The knights quickly brought heavy stones, the wild boars bravely moved forward and blocked the gap with their bodies. The magicians cast earth magic to continuously strengthen the defense line. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, like a carefully choreographed dance.

Evelyn stared at the giant centipede, only to see its eyes were red and it was struggling madly. She knew that this was a sign that the enemy was fighting desperately.

"Lord Alpha, this guy seems to have sensed the danger and has gone berserk. I can only hold on for ten minutes at most..." Evelyn's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety.

"Just hold on for five minutes!" Alpha's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he stared at the violent giant centipede.

At this time, the huge centipede was twisting and rolling around in the room, its huge body hitting the surrounding objects, making loud noises.

The gunpowder powder that was carefully placed on the wall began to disperse under the enemy's stirring and filled the air. The whole situation became more and more tense, and the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze time. The countdown to a life-and-death battle had begun.

Everyone's breathing became rapid, and the sound of their heartbeats was particularly clear in this silent environment. They held their weapons tightly, ready for the upcoming battle. The enemy's figure was looming in the smoke, making it difficult to predict, which increased the uncertainty and danger of the battle.

At this critical moment, every decision may determine life or death. Should we take the initiative or wait for the opportunity? Should we concentrate our strength to attack the centipede or eliminate the surrounding enemies first? These questions flashed through people's minds quickly, and they had to make decisions in an instant.

The smell of gunpowder irritated people's noses, reminding them of the approaching danger. As time passed, the situation became more and more urgent, like a taut bowstring that could break at any time. In this life-and-death struggle, only courage, wisdom and determination could give them a glimmer of hope.

"Listen to my command, get ready to lie down!" At this critical moment, Alpha's voice was rapid and firm, like a battle horn, foreshadowing a thrilling challenge is coming. Time seemed to freeze, every second seemed extraordinarily long, and Alpha's countdown added to the tense atmosphere.

Poof! With only three seconds left, Evelyn finally couldn't bear the pressure, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out. Her body also lost its support and fell backwards involuntarily. Alpha acted quickly, hugged Evelyn tightly, and handed her to Fanxing. In the darkness, a familiar look glared at Alpha fiercely, but Alpha was so focused at the moment that he didn't notice this detail at all.

"Three, two..." At the critical moment, the stone blocking the gap was suddenly knocked open, and the situation instantly became critical.

"I'll do it!" The Boar Rider stepped forward without hesitation. He used his broad back to block the entrance of the cave, like an indestructible fortress, resisting the surging crisis.

"Magician, pour water on the knights! The rest of you, lie down!" Alpha made a prompt decision and issued clear instructions. He knew that the power of the explosion should not be underestimated, but lying on the ground would minimize the damage. In this tense atmosphere, everyone quickly and accurately executed Alpha's orders.

At the last critical moment, Alpha kicked the spear stuck in the stone with force. The spear collided violently with the rock, creating dazzling sparks and instantly igniting the gunpowder powder in the passage. For a moment, the flames shot up into the sky, and the shock wave of the explosion swept in like a tidal wave, as if to devour everything.

In this thrilling moment, Alpha and his teammates worked closely together, showing tenacious fighting spirit and fearless courage. Their actions were full of strategy and wisdom, and every decision was a matter of life and death. In this chaos, whether they could successfully survive the crisis was unknown.

Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded in the passage, and the gunpowder powder exploded violently. In an instant, the entire underground space was enveloped by a strong vibration, as if the ground was about to collapse, which was terrifying.

The explosion was so powerful that the surrounding walls were shaking, and rubble and dust fell. Everyone was panicked, fearing that they would be affected by the aftermath of the explosion, but no one moved without Alpha's order. The passage was filled with thick smoke, and the vision became blurred, and no one knew the specific situation around them.

At this thrilling moment, everyone's heart was filled with fear and despair. They didn't know whether they could escape from this hellish place alive, and they didn't know what would happen next.

The whole scene was like the end of the world, with chaos and panic filling every corner. This thrilling scene made people deeply aware of the destructive power of gunpowder explosion.
