I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 311: Merlin's Defeat, Conspiracy

Alpha took out his magic gun again and started aiming. A distance of more than ten meters was not far for him. He stared at the head of the Dark Master and vowed to himself that he must hit the target this time. However, what bothered him was that the Dark Master's body was tightly protected by a group of werewolves, so he could only choose to aim at the opponent's head.

With a loud bang, Alpha pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed out, but unfortunately, it did not hit the target. Although a little disappointed, Alpha did not give up, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting.

After hearing the gunshots, the werewolves immediately became alert and searched around for the source of the sound. Soon, they found the human, Alpha, hiding in a dark corner. Faced with the sudden threat, the werewolves responded quickly, trying to surround and eliminate the intruder.

At this critical moment, Alpha suddenly jumped out from his hiding place and rushed towards the enemy with a roar. His appearance caught the werewolves off guard, and for a while they were unable to organize an effective counterattack. Alpha used this opportunity to keep approaching the target, and every step was full of determination and courage.

When the distance was shortened to ten meters, nine meters, and eight meters, Alpha's speed became faster and faster, like an unstoppable beast. Seeing this, the Dark Master's eyes flashed with panic, but he did not choose to run away. Instead, he calmly commanded the werewolves around him to attack Alpha, trying to suppress the opponent with the advantage of numbers.

Seven meters, six meters, five meters... Just as Alpha was about to get close to his goal, a group of werewolves suddenly pounced on him and pinned him to the ground. The situation was taking a turn for the worse, and it seemed that everything was going to end.

The Dark Master smiled triumphantly upon seeing this, raised his staff and aimed it at the werewolf heap, preparing to cast deadly necromancy. To him, no matter if it was his own men or his enemies, as long as he could eliminate all those who stood in his way, it would be an acceptable outcome.

However, at this critical moment, a pitch-black gun barrel suddenly stretched out from the werewolf group. Then, "bang! bang!" two crisp gunshots pierced the night sky.

It turned out that at the last moment, Alpha, with amazing perseverance and skills, successfully broke free from his restraints and used his remaining two bullets to accurately hit the vital parts of the Dark Master. This time, he did not miss again.

The bullet pierced through the Dark Wizard's body with astonishing speed and force. Blood spurted several meters away as if pushed by a high-pressure pump, spraying directly onto the ground, forming a shocking bloodstain.

The Dark Wizard's body fell straight down, like a huge tree destroyed by a violent storm. It seemed that everything would end there and his evil rule would come to an end.

Alpha felt the pressure on his body gradually decreasing, and the force that had been suffocating him seemed to disappear suddenly. He slowly crawled out of the mountain of human flesh, his body covered in dirt and blood, but his eyes were shining with determination.

Alpha's heart was filled with anxiety and fear, but he still mustered up his courage and quickly walked towards the dark wizard's body. He knew that if the other party was still alive, he would be in great danger. However, just as he was about to cut off the other party's head, a powerful dark energy suddenly burst out from the body, sweeping over like a storm.

Alpha didn't have time to react at all before he was tightly entangled by the dark power and couldn't move at all. He felt as if his body was tightly grasped by invisible hands and couldn't move. At the same time, a cold voice sounded in his ears: "Hahaha, don't you know that dark wizards don't have bodies? Now you are my body, and I want to control your body to become a discipline knight."

Merlin laughed, his eyes flashing with evil. For dark wizards like them, taking over other people's bodies is a common occurrence. Once a body is damaged or a better body appears, they will rob it without hesitation. And now, Alpha has become their target.

Faced with this sudden change, Alpha did not give up resistance. He took a deep breath and tried to stimulate the light energy in his body to consume the opponent's dark energy.

However, Alpha's fighting spirit was far inferior to that of Merlin, the Silver Grand Mage, and his efficiency in converting fighting spirit into light energy was only half, which put him at an absolute disadvantage in this battle.

Despite this, Alpha still did not give up hope. He knew that only by persisting could he find a chance to turn the tables. So he continued to work hard to stimulate the light energy in his body, hoping to break Merlin's control and regain control of his body.

"Who are you? This is not ordinary light magic." Feeling the special energy of light magic, the dark wizard Merlin showed a look of fear. His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, because he had never seen such a powerful and pure light power.

"It's too late now!" Alpha's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of indifference and disdain.

Although Alpha was indeed far inferior to the Dark Master Merlin in terms of the reserves of light energy, the Light Tribute he possessed was performed by the Pope himself and had undergone super evolution. This power was so strong that even a top Dark Master like Merlin could not resist it.

Merlin's body began to tremble involuntarily. He tried to use all his strength to resist the light that was constantly eroding the depths of his soul. However, no matter how he struggled, he could not get rid of the powerful restraints imposed by Alpha. The pure and sacred light seemed to be able to penetrate all darkness and evil, leaving all unclean things exposed.

"How is this possible? How can you have such pure dark energy? Who are you?" Faced with everything that was happening before his eyes, Merlin felt unprecedented shock and confusion.

As a person who has studied the power of darkness for a long time and built his entire magic system based on it, Merlin simply cannot understand why a seemingly ordinary light magician can possess such a pure and powerful dark attribute. What makes him even more incredible is that when his dark body tried to escape, it was easily absorbed and swallowed by the other party, as if it had encountered a natural enemy and was powerless to resist.

As the last trace of darkness was completely cleared, the entire space regained its tranquility. Alpha stood there, his eyes revealing an indescribable firmness and calmness. He seemed to have known what had just happened, and was not surprised or proud of it. Instead, he just glanced at Merlin who had fallen to the ground, then turned and left this space that was once filled with haze.

"Lord Alpha, countless dark werewolves have appeared behind us, and they are attacking our priest group. We must take action to support them!" Gilliana repelled the enemy in front of her and immediately shouted loudly. Her voice echoed on the battlefield, attracting the attention of other warriors.

After hearing Gilliana's cry, Lord Alpha quickly turned around and looked behind him. He saw a dark figure approaching them, and the dark werewolves' eyes were flashing with murderous light, as if they wanted to devour the entire sacrificial group.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Lord Alpha ordered loudly. His voice was full of firmness and determination, giving the surrounding warriors a glimmer of hope.

Jilliana held the weapon tightly in her hand, ready for the upcoming battle. She knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but she also believed that as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to defeat these dark werewolves.

As Lord Alpha issued his order, even the members of the sacrificial group took up their weapons and prepared for battle. Their eyes revealed a firm belief, vowing to protect their homes and beliefs.

These priests were not powerless, they were real ascetics. They strictly abided by the commandments, kept their original intentions, and were conservatives in the church. They strictly followed the doctrines, which was incompatible with the radical policies of the current pope, so they were sent to this battlefield of death.

Alpha looked at Graya, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. "How could they be here?" He seemed to be asking what happened.

Graia was bewildered. She had no idea there would be an ambush here. Now it seemed that all this was a conspiracy, and the werewolf had anticipated it. She felt a chill coming over her, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

The appearance of these priests makes the situation more complicated and dangerous. Their joining may change the direction of the war, or even lead to a more tragic battle. Alpha and Graia must respond as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Lord Alpha, I remember now. It is said that ten years ago, the Dark Council recruited 100,000 humans and sent them all underground. These people have never appeared since then. However, there are reports that these people seem to be digging something underground. I suspect they are digging tunnels." Graya suddenly remembered some past events, but she realized that even if she knew the reason, it would be of no help now.

"Protect the sacrificial group and retreat!" Alpha knew that they couldn't let the sacrificial group be destroyed, otherwise their mission would be a complete failure. He quickly gave the order and rushed towards the enemy in front of him.

"Strong, Gilliana, help me stop the enemy!" Alpha fought with all his might, not sparing any enemy. He swung his weapon, and every attack was full of strength and determination. Strong and Gilliana followed closely behind, fighting side by side with Alpha to resist the enemy's attack.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the air was filled with tension. Alpha and his companions tried their best to buy enough time for the priests to evacuate safely. Each of their attacks was carried out with firm conviction, and they vowed to defend their mission to the death.

"Human, this time you will definitely die." The Wolf King threatened Athena for the third time, but the results of the first two times were a slap in the face. This time, the result was still full of uncertainty.

"Just you?" Athena snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Athena knew very well that although the Wolf King's strength had reached the peak of silver, it still seemed a little insufficient in front of her.

Athena is now a peak gold knight. Although she cannot fully exert her full strength for some reasons, after Arthur's careful training and teaching, her strength has been improved to the level of early gold. This improvement is not only reflected in her combat effectiveness, but also in her understanding of combat strategies and techniques.

As the words fell, the battle between the two began instantly. The air was filled with tension and excitement, as if even the air around them had become frozen at this moment.

Athena quickly adjusted her posture and prepared to meet the challenge; the wolf king on the other side showed a ferocious smile, as if he was confident that he would win. However, the real victory or defeat is often proved by actual actions - a contest of honor and survival began.

In just a few minutes of fierce fighting, the werewolf deeply realized the huge gap between himself and Athena. After only two days of not seeing each other, he was surprised to find that the strength of the woman in front of him had made such an amazing leap. Faced with such a rapid and significant change, the werewolf was full of doubts and puzzlement: What on earth allowed Athena to make such a huge progress in such a short time?

"Your strength has improved, so why should I stop?" The wolf king roared, and the sound seemed to be able to tear the air and shake the entire forest. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but more of it was awe and fear of the person who transformed him.

At this moment, the arm that was cut off by Alpha suddenly burst out with unprecedented strength. The lifeless limb began to regain vitality, the muscles swelled, and the blood vessels bulged, as if a mysterious power was being injected into it.

The wolf king felt a strong energy coming from his arm, and an unprecedented confidence surged in his heart. He knew that this was the manifestation of the long-dormant potential of his arm being stimulated. This power made him feel extremely powerful, as if the whole world was under his control.

The wolf king clenched his fists, feeling the strength in his arms gradually increase. With every breath, his strength increased. His eyes became more determined, and he was determined to fight to the end.

The Wolf King knew that Athena's strength had indeed improved, but he was no longer the weak opponent he had been in the past. He had made full preparations to have a real fight with Athena.

The wolf king took a deep breath and gathered the energy in his body into his arms. Then, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on Athena. The wolf king's movements were swift and powerful, bringing up a gust of wind that made the surrounding sand and stones rustle.

Athena felt the change in the wolf king, and her brows furrowed slightly. Athena knew that the wolf king was no longer the easy opponent he used to be. But Athena was not afraid, but became more excited.

Their eyes met in the air, sparks flying. They both knew that this would be a battle of life and death, and only the strongest would survive.

The wolf king's attack was as powerful as thunder, while Athena dodged his attack with agility. The two of them fought back and forth, and their moves were full of collisions of power and speed.

Every time they fought, the air around them trembled. Their figures moved quickly on the battlefield, like two bolts of lightning cutting through the night sky.

However, despite the amazing strength displayed by the Wolf King, Athena did not back down. Athena calmly analyzed the Wolf King's attack pattern and looked for flaws. He knew that only by seizing the opportunity could he defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Athena found the weakness of the wolf king. He quickly launched an attack and hit the wolf king's chest with a heavy punch.

The wolf king's body flew backwards instantly and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to stand up, but his injuries were too severe to move.

Athena walked up to the Wolf King and looked down at him. His eyes revealed a hint of joy of victory, but more of it was contempt and ridicule for the Wolf King.

"No way, absolutely impossible."
