I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 325: Strange Range, Arthur's Confusion

With a loud bang, Alpha's sword slammed heavily onto the ground. It was an explosive attack with twenty times the power, but it was easily dodged by the imitator. The air was filled with dust and tension, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

"Hahaha, I told you that your Charged Explosion Discipline is easy to dodge. Now it's my turn to attack." The imitator deliberately showed weakness in order to use up Alpha's Charged Explosion. The next few minutes would be the time for the imitator to perform. His voice was full of confidence and contempt, as if he had foreseen the outcome of victory.

"Gilliana, aren't you the plaything of that idiot Odysseus? Now that it's your turn, let me play with you too." At this moment, the imitator didn't take Alpha seriously at all, and turned his gaze to Gilliana behind him. His eyes revealed a kind of disdain and provocation, as if he was mocking her incompetence.

"You are too arrogant." Alpha took out the magic scroll from his pocket and released it instantly. At the same time, Alpha also used his special fighting spirit release skill to instantly compress the released magic energy into fighting spirit release. His movements were swift and smooth, as if everything was under his control.

This is the ability that Alpha has figured out with the help of two powerful men, Arthur and Gunns, to release Dou Qi through magic. This ability not only requires powerful magic energy as a foundation, but also requires precise control to ensure the rapid release of Dou Qi. When these two forces are combined, an unprecedented powerful attack force is generated - Flame Dou Qi.

At this moment, the imitator felt an unprecedented fear and threat of death. He was shocked by the feeling that was different from ordinary attack methods: the rapid release speed of fighting spirit and the powerful energy of magic. He knew that he had met a real opponent this time.

With a loud bang, the imitator's body was hit hard by Alpha Magic Fighting Qi Slash. The huge impact force instantly knocked his body out and directly hit the hard rock. A deep dent was left on the surface of the rock, showing how amazing the power of this blow was. The imitator groaned in pain, obviously seriously injured.

"You can't kill me. I am the Pope's heir. All my actions are ordered by the Pope. If you kill me, they will not let you go." The imitator showed a painful expression on his face, and his body twisted irregularly, as if he was suffering from some unspeakable pain. Even so, he still tried to save his life through threats.

"I'll kill you without anyone noticing." Alpha's voice was low and firm, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. For Alpha, this imitator had already crossed his bottom line, and no matter how the other party begged for mercy or threatened, he could not change his determination.

"When I die, my mimicry ability will be inherited by you. When that happens, you only need to activate the commandment and everyone will know that you are my murderer. You will then become the enemy of the Church and be hunted by the Church for the rest of your life." The mimic grabbed Alpha's arm tightly, as if he wanted to pass on some kind of power to him. However, this was not a good thing for Alpha, but made him more determined to get rid of this person.

"Do you know why I must kill you?" Alpha looked down at the mark on his arm. Originally, he might still be hesitating whether to really do it, but at this moment, he no longer had any room for maneuver - this person must die.

"Because you touched my bottom line," Alpha said coldly, "You dared to attack my woman, I cannot tolerate that." As the words fell, Alpha suddenly squeezed hard and crushed the opponent's throat. At the same time, a dark energy spread from his right hand, instantly devouring all the vitality of the imitator.

Finally, the imitator turned into a mummy, lying there quietly, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment. No one would notice the existence of this mummy, not even the Pope would realize that the imitator was no longer alive.

After all, as long as the imitator is a little more low-key, he can be almost invincible. Unfortunately, this pretentious young man obviously does not understand what true caution and restraint are.

When Alpha returned to the combat center, the battle here was over. After severely injuring Arthur, the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria led a group of people to retreat voluntarily. This was obviously a deliberate strategy of not finishing the battle. I am afraid that it was to let the Church handle its own affairs and intensify the conflict.

Alpha watched as Arthur forcibly pulled out the spear from his body. After a simple treatment and bandage, he greeted the arrival of another Knight of Light, Julius, as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere in the city of Alman was extremely bad at the moment, and it could be said that it was extremely depressing. However, for the people in the city, this seemed to be something worth cheering for. They came out of the underground world to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Feeling the strange atmosphere in the upper echelons of the Holy See, Alpha immediately summoned Graya and Barutus to discuss the evacuation of the people. After all, Alpha was afraid that the upper echelons would issue an order and the holy war would continue with the killing.

"Lord Alpha, are you saying that the Holy See might continue the holy war and killing?" Listening to Alpha's explanation, Graya's face turned pale and she was obviously frightened.

"I'm not sure. The atmosphere in the upper echelons of the Vatican is weird right now, and I can't judge their next order. So you take the people out of the city immediately, some of them leave normally, and some of them leave through the underground passage. You must leave as quickly as possible and can't wait any longer." Alpha could not make a final decision. Alpha had no say in all this.

"Yes, Lord Alpha." Graia chose to believe in Alpha's judgment. Even if Alpha's misjudgment only caused a little trouble for everyone, if Alpha's judgment was correct, it would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

Although Alpha had conveyed the news to Graia and Barutus, the number of people in the city did not decrease much in the next two days. They still showed excitement on their faces.

After Alpha learned about it, he found that these people did not believe Graya's explanation at all, nor did they believe Alpha's statement. Less than one-tenth of the people evacuated in two days, that is, only 30,000 people. After all, this is their homeland, and they will never leave their homeland unless it is absolutely necessary.

On the third day, the Holy See completely closed the exits from the city. Of course, it had not issued an order to encircle and kill the inhabitants, but everything began to become confusing, and a strange atmosphere began to spread. Citizens began to close their doors to avoid visitors, and the number of people preparing to leave increased instantly, but everything was done in private.

On the third day after Grand Knight Julius came in, Athena decided to leave the city to look for clues to the Ninth Ring. Alpha knew that their departure would be the moment of real disaster. Julius would most likely deal with the severely injured Arthur directly, and of course the people would not be spared either. Everything would turn into darkness, the darkness hidden under the light.

"Lord Arthur, how is your wound?" This was the last time Alpha visited Arthur in private.

If this meeting is discovered by outsiders, it may bring endless troubles to Alpha, but Alpha has his own plans. He knows that Julius's arrival not only means a threat to Arthur, but also a crisis for the entire city. Once Julius takes action, the entire city will fall into chaos and panic.

Alpha was planning to leave the Church, so he had to develop his own strength, not only his own strength, but also the strength of a senior team. He knew that only with sufficient strength could he gain a foothold in this turbulent era. Therefore, he began to secretly contact some like-minded people and prepare to form a strong team.

"They sent dark energy into my body, causing my wounds to not heal. My condition is very bad now. Julius is waiting for me to fall down, so as to avoid internal fratricide within the Church." Arthur laughed at himself. A trace of helplessness and despair flashed in his eyes, but he did not give up hope. He knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would persevere to the end.

At this moment, only the Cardinal-level wizards can treat Arthur. Here, there are only Barnes and Cardinal Richard who came with Julius. Richard is a loyal fan of the Pope and it is impossible for him to save Arthur. Barnes is now under close surveillance and it is impossible for him to save Arthur. This puts Arthur in a desperate situation, but he did not give up hope. He knows that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must persevere to the end.

"Lord Arthur, do you believe me?" There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in Alpha's voice.

Alpha knew that his right hand had the ability to absorb all energy, including dark energy. However, this ability was not completely controllable. Once it was not controlled carefully, the strong suction might even drain the vitality from Arthur's body, turning him into a mummy. Therefore, before trying, Alpha had to get Arthur's full trust and consent.

Arthur stared into Alpha's eyes, trying to read more information from them. After a brief thought, he slowly said, "It's okay, just experiment. I would rather choose to trust you than die in the hands of those evil people." By observing the sincerity in Alpha's eyes and tone, Arthur judged that the other party was really helping him out of good intentions, so he gave his support without hesitation.

As the words fell, Alpha carefully moved his right hand close to the place where Arthur was injured. Suddenly, an unprecedented huge suction force emanated from the palm of his hand, as if it was going to swallow up the surrounding air.

After feeling this power, Alpha immediately strengthened the control over his right hand, ensuring that it only extracted the dark energy gathered at the wound without affecting Arthur's own health.

Slowly, the black mist that originally enveloped the wound began to dissipate, and was eventually completely sucked into Alpha's right hand. The whole process lasted for about a cup of tea, and Alpha stopped only after confirming that all the dark energy had been cleared.

"Thank you, Alpha." Arthur expressed his gratitude to his friend after regaining consciousness. "I will take care of the rest now." As his body was no longer affected by the dark power, Arthur believed that he could slowly recover by his own strength, it would just take some time.

Seeing this, Alpha smiled and immediately made a new suggestion: "If one day in the future you feel that you have nowhere to go or are in danger, please remember that my city of technology always welcomes you. There, I can guarantee your safety, and no one will disturb you."

However, Arthur shook his head and refused such a proposal: "There is no need to do this now. I will report the situation of this operation to Julius later, and then return to the Vatican headquarters as soon as possible."

As a knight loyal to the God of Light and his faith, Arthur never thought of leaving the church even in the face of internal pressure and challenges. This unwavering belief is not only a recognition of his personal identity, but also a reflection of his responsibility to the entire light camp.

Alpha, if you can, never wear the ring of discipline that belongs to the leader of the Knights of Light. It represents power and strength, but also bondage. Arthur deliberately explained, but seemed to be restrained.

On this ancient continent, the Knights of Light are one of the most powerful armed forces of the Holy See, and the candidate for the leader is an important position that requires strict screening and testing.

However, for Arthur, this position meant more responsibilities and restrictions. He knew that once he put on the ring that symbolized power and glory, he would no longer be able to freely pursue his ideals. Therefore, although his heart was full of desire for power, he still chose to give up this opportunity.

Arthur is also the only paladin in the Holy See who does not serve as the leader of the Knights of Light. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the leader of the Ninth Regiment of Alpha. After all, the gap between Alpha's strength and that of the other side is too huge to qualify for the competition.

In fact, the reason why Arthur became the only free paladin in the church was not entirely due to his personal ability or talent. On the contrary, it was more because of the courage and wisdom he showed at the critical moment.

However, even so, Arthur is qualified enough to compete for the throne of the leader of the Knights of Light. In this position, it requires not only strength, but also leadership, political skills and the ability to control the entire team.

However, Arthur's identity prevented him from holding these positions. Arthur's giving up the position of leader was telling his superiors that he had no intention of competing for the highest position, but the current situation clearly showed that he was still being targeted.

"The sword of King Arthur will be handed over to you from now on. Don't carry the name of King Arthur anymore, or he will become the target of the Holy See." Arthur seemed to be making arrangements for his final arrangements.

"This is my practice notes. I know it's not suitable for your practice, but it may give you some inspiration. You should study it well."

After saying these words, Arthur took out a thick book from his arms and handed it to Alpha. This book recorded his experience in training over the years and some precious martial arts secrets.

Although the content may not be completely applicable to Alpha's current situation, Arthur believes that there must be something worth learning from it. He hopes that these experiences can help the latter avoid detours in the future and grow into an excellent warrior faster.

"Where do you think the future of the Holy See will be?" Arthur felt confused about himself and about the future of the Holy See.

Faced with this question, Arthur fell into deep thought. As a paladin loyal to his faith, he has always believed that the Church represents justice and light. However, a series of events in recent years have made him begin to question the true purpose of this organization.

On the one hand, Arthur has seen too much corruption and darkness; on the other hand, he also realizes that only through reform can the church be revitalized. But in such a complex and changing era, how to balance the relationship between the two? This problem not only troubles Arthur himself, but also becomes a difficult problem for all those who care about the fate of the church to think about together.
