I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 317 The Final Counterattack Mission

"How is this possible? You must have lied to us." Faced with the shocking scene before their eyes - a huge tunnel filled with countless corpses, all the people collapsed. They couldn't believe that the city they had been living in was hiding such a horrible secret.

"You must have deliberately killed the people in the city and then framed them as werewolves!" An old man said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of suspicion and anger. After all, before this, everyone had always lived in harmony, and there had never been any conflict or violence.

"Please open your eyes and take a closer look! These corpses have already turned to bones. They have been there for at least several years. There are hundreds of thousands of corpses here. Unless our entire tribe is extinct, there is no way there would be so many corpses." Gruts stood on a high place and shouted with all his strength, trying to make everyone understand the truth of the matter. "Also, did you notice? There are bite marks on these corpses. This is an indisputable fact!"

Some people in the crowd began to whisper, but more people looked at Gruts with distrust. "Since you knew all this, why didn't you tell us?" a young woman asked. Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard throughout the audience.

"What can I do if I tell you?" Gruts sighed, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his tone. "As long as we stay here, we can still maintain a peaceful life on the surface. But if this news gets out, only death awaits us - whether it is from the outside world or the internal fighting caused by panic."

In fact, before the knights attacked the city, Groots had thought about resisting and wanted to expose the conspirators hiding in the dark. However, the reality was cruel: their power was too small to fight against the powerful enemy.

Therefore, when the situation becomes critical, even if one is filled with reluctance, one can only choose to stand on the side of the seemingly stronger party - the invaders, because to the real enemy, beings like them will not be regarded as the same kind at all.

"Lord Alpha, werewolves have discovered our passage and are approaching quickly." At this time, Gilliana arrived with bad news. Her voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and it was clear that the situation was much worse than expected.

"Prepare to attack." Alpha gave the order calmly and firmly. There was a hint of subtle worry in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Alpha knew that any hesitation in the face of the upcoming battle could lead to irreversible consequences, so he quickly organized the knights around him, and everyone was ready to fight, waiting for the order to rush towards the enemy.

At the same time, in a secluded place not far away, Graia was discussing the current situation with all the people. "No matter what your attitude is, whether you believe it or not, the facts are in front of us. Those who are not of the same kind as me must have different hearts." Her words were calm but powerful. "The werewolves only treat us as food. In order to survive, we must resist."

This sentence is not only said to the people present, but also a declaration in her heart. Graya has already made up her mind that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, and no matter whether there are people who support or oppose her, she will go on unswervingly until the last moment. Because she knows that only by unity and courage can she win this battle for survival.

At this moment, the people really roared in anger, and they rushed towards the enemy with full of anger. However, when they really faced those werewolves, the fear in their hearts surged like a tide. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, and they did not dare to vent the raging anger in their hearts. Under the enemy's fierce attack, they became timid and retreated.

However, Alpha never expected these untrained militias to play a big role. He knew very well that although these civilians were numerous, they lacked combat experience and discipline, and it was difficult for them to form effective combat power.

Therefore, Alpha led the knights to ambush in various tunnels, not seeking to completely kill the enemy, but only hoping to kill the enemy's living forces and weaken their combat effectiveness. He knew that as long as he could effectively consume the enemy's physical strength and morale, he could create more favorable conditions for subsequent battles.

"Lord Alpha, our third passage has completely fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the fourth passage has also fallen into a fierce melee. Now, our only remaining fifth passage is still relatively safe, but if the situation continues to develop like this, we will be unable to hold on and have no way to retreat." Gilliana looked at the approaching enemy with a determined look on her face.

"What time is it now?" Alpha asked. He didn't have a good way to deal with the current predicament.

They could only rely on the complex underground environment to limit the enemy's numerical advantage, and the narrow space also prevented the enemy's advanced combat power from being fully exerted. However, even ordinary werewolf warriors could slowly kill everyone here if the time was delayed too long.

"Lord Alpha, it's only about 4:30 now. We have to wait until at least 7 or 8 o'clock for the sun to come out." Gilliana replied. She knew they still had to hold out for a few hours, but judging by the current situation, they could only hold out for another hour at most.

At this moment, Graya's voice came: "Alpha Knight, Lady Athena is calling you over." Obviously, Athena had something important to announce.

Alpha handed over the guarding work to Gilliana and Strong, and hurried to reunite with Athena. He was filled with a sense of urgency, knowing that time was running out and every minute and every second was crucial.

After arriving at the meeting room, Alpha learned that the Church was preparing for a final counterattack. Knight Arthur decided to go all out and use his last strength to kill the enemy. This decision shocked and impressed Alpha, as he knew it would be a battle of life and death.

Athena explained the mission to everyone simply and clearly: "Our mission is to enter the enemy's rear through the underground passage, kill the enemy's rear command system with all our strength, and force the enemy to retreat." Her voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

They had to use the underground tunnel that the enemy had dug before to complete this mission. It can be said that this mission was very dangerous, almost a life-or-death struggle. Moreover, the mission was very uncertain. Perhaps the enemy's rear was full of Wolf King-level masters, so they would be sending food to the enemy if they went there. But even so, they had no way to retreat and could only move forward courageously.

"Everyone get ready, we'll set off in ten minutes." There was no room for negotiation in Athena's words. This was an order that everyone had to obey. Alpha took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to face the upcoming challenge. He knew that this might be their last chance and the most difficult battle.

When Alpha returned to the battle line he was in charge of, he found that it had been taken over by other knights. Everyone got a short break, but the atmosphere was still tense.

Alpha told everyone about the mission in detail. He did not force anyone to participate, but asked everyone to sign up voluntarily. Unexpectedly, everyone expressed their willingness to join the mission without hesitation.

After all, if they stayed here, they would just be cannon fodder for others; but if they followed Alpha, they might still have a chance of survival.

Before preparing to set off, Alpha picked up Arthur's sword, a legendary sword that had once been eroded by the power of darkness. Now only he can use it without being swallowed by the darkness.

In addition to this precious weapon, he also collected some new equipment from his fallen comrades. Due to the extremely scarce resources, these equipment were obtained from the sacrifices. Nevertheless, each item was extremely precious to those who were about to embark on the journey.

However, when the team arrived at the bottom passage, the scene before them frustrated everyone: the passage originally used to prevent the enemy from invading had been severely damaged, leaving only a narrow space for a single person to pass through. Faced with such a situation, in order to move forward smoothly and reduce unnecessary burdens, the team members had to take off their heavy armor.

Although this means that they will lose some protection in the battles that may follow, in such extreme environments, flexibility is far more important than heavy protection. In this way, in silence and determined eyes, the group began their journey full of unknowns and dangers.

Athena was the top leader of this operation, and she led a team of nearly a thousand people. This team was mainly composed of bronze knights, but there were also a small number of senior knights and silver knights. Although they knew that their strength might not last long when facing the enemy's main force, they were still fearless and moved forward courageously.

Before setting out, they had checked the passage and confirmed that it was a path to the ground outside the city. However, the situation outside was very complicated, and the knight sentinels did not search too far, nor did they collect detailed information about the enemy camp. This meant that the road ahead was full of unknown risks and challenges.

"Lord Alpha," Gilliana's voice came from the front. She was petite and agile, and was acting as a sentinel at the moment. "There is a team of a hundred people blocking our way ahead. Should we destroy them directly?"

Alpha pondered for a moment and replied: "Find a safe passage, let a small number of knights bypass the enemy's defense line and enter the enemy's rear to intercept, and the main force will follow me to prepare for a frontal attack. None of these people can be let go." As the vanguard team, Alpha and his team members must remove all obstacles and open up a safe path for follow-up troops.

As the order was given, the entire team moved quickly. Some elite knights began to explore the surrounding environment quietly, trying to find a secret route that could avoid the enemy's sight; while the other part was ready to fight with the oncoming enemy at any time. The air was filled with tension and excitement, and everyone knew that every step forward would be crucial.

As the enemy camp was in commotion, Alpha launched an attack directly from the front without caring whether the enemy had discovered them or not. For a while, the sound of killing was like thunder and the flames of war were raging.

In that chaotic moment, Alpha decided to take the initiative without hesitation. He knew that any hesitation might leave the enemy with a chance to counterattack. Therefore, he quickly and decisively commanded his team to attack the enemy camp from the front.

The spears are their main weapons and their most reliable partners in this battle. When Alpha gave the order to attack, the knights raised their spears one after another, standing in front of them like a dense forest. These spears are not only their fighting tools, but also a symbol of their courage and determination.

Following Alpha's order, the soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards the enemy. Their footsteps shook the earth like thunder, and their spears drew sharp arcs in the air, flying towards the enemy with deadly force. For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the scene of spears raining down.

These spears were not only numerous, but each one was carefully crafted and sharpened. They were sharp enough to penetrate the enemy's body and deal a fatal blow. In this fierce battle, the spears became the soldiers' most powerful weapon and their weapon to defeat the enemy.

However, despite the huge pressure and casualties caused by the rain of spears, the enemy did not give up resistance easily. They also launched a frantic counterattack, trying to resist the attack of Alpha and his team. The two sides fought a desperate battle on the battlefield, and every confrontation was a life-and-death contest.

However, Alpha and his team were not intimidated by the enemy's stubborn resistance. They continued to stick to their offensive strategy, constantly adjusting tactics and formations to cope with the enemy's changes. They knew that only through continuous attacks and pressure could they ultimately defeat the enemy and achieve victory.

In the end, under Alpha's wise command and courageous decision-making, they were like an unstoppable torrent, successfully breaking through the enemy's solid defense line and completely defeating the enemy.

As the enemy army collapsed, they began to flee in all directions, trying to find a chance to escape. However, at this moment, more than 20 elite knights led by Gilliana played a key role. They were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, quickly intercepting the enemy from behind, cutting off the enemy's retreat, and causing the enemy to fall into a more chaotic situation.

"Ten minutes of rest." Alpha knew that the battle was not over yet, but the soldiers were already exhausted. He decisively led a small team of knights to check the surroundings to ensure that there were no potential threats. At the same time, he also asked everyone to rest for a while and recover their strength. At this time, everyone must remain highly vigilant and cautious, because any negligence may leave opportunities for the enemy to take advantage.
