I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 297 Dark Witchcraft, Space-Time Rift

"Kill!" With a command, Athena brandished her sacred spear and rushed forward. The warriors behind her followed closely behind her. The original battle of just trying their best instantly escalated into an all-out charge. The air was filled with tension and determination, and everyone knew the importance of this battle.

However, the enemy's castle is not such an easy place to conquer. There are not only strong walls as a barrier, but also a group of powerful defenders: ferocious werewolves, mysterious vampires and wizards who are good at using dark magic.

These creatures jointly guarded the fortress, and anyone who tried to approach would pay a heavy price. Facing such a powerful enemy, even a team as brave as Athena felt unprecedented pressure.

Just as the team was about to charge forward regardless of everything, "Lady Athena, please wait!" Alpha suddenly blocked Athena's path. His voice was filled with anxiety and worry, "We can't attack blindly like this. The enemy is obviously waiting for us to fall into their trap."

Hearing this, Athena, who was in a state of extreme anger, almost lost her mind, "Get out of the way! Otherwise you will become my enemy." To her, at this moment, anyone who hindered her progress was regarded as a hostile force.

But Alpha did not back down. Instead, he said more firmly: "I know you can give up everything for victory and honor, but now is really not the right time. If we rush forward rashly, we will only sacrifice ourselves in vain and have no chance of winning at all."

Although it was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon and the sun had not yet completely set, the city of Alman gave people a chilly and chilling feeling. If it weren't for the several lanterns powered by magic that were lit around, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't even be able to see the road clearly.

The huge castle standing tall in front of us looks like a curled up hedgehog or turtle - anyone who wants to get close to it must endure the damage caused by its sharp shell.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, "Lady Athena, look over at Odyssey..." Alpha tried to calm Athena down by changing the subject.

Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw that Odysseus, who usually seemed a little cunning, did not act impulsively like the others, but chose to hide behind the Knights and wait for an opportunity. Obviously, before finding a breakthrough, any reckless behavior would only accelerate the arrival of failure.

After seeing this, Athena finally realized that she was too impulsive. "Thank you for reminding me, Alpha." She took a deep breath and said, "From now on, we need to make a more thorough plan." As these words fell, the whole team seemed to regain some calm, and everyone understood that there was still a tough battle to fight.

"Follow me, knights!" At this moment, a deafening roar came from afar, breaking the silence on the battlefield. Everyone was shocked by the sudden sound, and they all raised their heads to see who made such a majestic shout.

Unexpectedly, the person who roared was Arthur—the legendary knight commander! He was wearing silver armor, holding a shining sword, standing at the front of the team, looking firmly at the castle in front of him that was as solid as a tortoise shell.

At this moment, Arthur is fully aware of the responsibilities and missions he shoulders: he must resolve the battle in the city in the shortest time possible and quickly gather strength to meet the impending external threats.

At this moment, the enemies hidden deep in the castle are plotting their final counterattack, trying to use the cover of night to complete their evil plan. Once the dark forces succeed, the whole world will fall into an endless abyss, and mankind will face an unprecedented disaster. Therefore, for all the warriors present, time is life, and every minute and every second is crucial.

In order to pry open the door of this stubborn castle as soon as possible and prevent the tragedy from happening, Arthur and his companions must speed up their actions. Not only do they have to face strong resistance from internal enemies, but they must also be vigilant at all times about various unexpected situations that may arise.

However, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles await them ahead, these brave soldiers have no intention of retreating, because they have only one belief in their hearts - to protect their homes from harm, even at the cost of their lives.

"Darkness is invading." This was the voice of the dark wizard Malcolm, like a low moan from the depths of hell. As the voice spread, the temperature around dropped sharply, as if even the moisture in the air was about to condense into ice. A powerful dark energy instantly surged in from all directions, quickly enveloping the entire castle and shrouding it in endless darkness.

However, Arthur, the Grand Knight, was not so easily defeated. He immediately swung the holy sword in his hand and chanted the ancient spell: "Light Cross Slash!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out from the tip of the sword, forming a huge cross-shaped light blade, which slashed forward with unparalleled power.

A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the battlefield, and the powerful force of light directly hit the castle covered by the dark force. The originally indestructible wall seemed so fragile in the face of this impact, and a huge crack was instantly split open.

However, at this moment, the darkness gathering from all sides seemed unwilling to accept defeat. It began to surge frantically, trying to fill the gap and allow the light to be swallowed up again.

Seeing this, the priests at the back were not willing to be outdone. They sang hymns in unison and used the scepters in their hands to guide purer and more sacred energy.

"Light dispel!" With the priests' joint call, waves of warm and bright light descended from the sky, not only illuminating every corner of the battlefield, but also pushing back the darkness that was trying to counterattack. At this moment, the battle between light and darkness reached a white-hot stage, and both sides were unwilling to give up this battle that depended on their fate.

"Charge!" Arthur's voice echoed on the battlefield, and his eyes were fixed on the gap that had reappeared in front of him. This gap was the key to victory and their last chance. He waved the long sword in his hand and commanded the knights behind him to launch the final charge.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Athena also roared: "Charge!" Her voice was full of firmness and determination, as if it could penetrate all obstacles. This time, Alpha did not stop her, because he knew that now was the real time for the battle.

The voices of countless heroes intertwined together to form a powerful force, inspiring their fighters to move forward bravely. They knew that only through this final charge could they break the enemy's defense line and achieve the final victory.

As the order was issued, the knights straightened their chests, grasped their weapons tightly, and galloped towards the enemy. The sound of their horses' hooves resounded throughout the battlefield like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

At this moment, both Arthur and Athena knew that this was a battle of life and death with no way out. But they did not hesitate at all, because they had a common belief in their hearts - for glory and for their homeland, they would do whatever it takes.

The charge horn has been blown, and the flame of battle is burning in everyone's heart. Their figures draw beautiful arcs on the battlefield, and every swing of the sword and every sprint is full of strength and courage.

This decisive battle is not only a physical confrontation, but also a contest of will and faith. Arthur and Athena led their army and interpreted with their actions what is the true warrior spirit. They are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, nor are they afraid of powerful enemies, just to protect the purest faith in their hearts.

As time went on, the battle became more intense. Both sides fought back and forth, neither side giving in. But at the most critical moment, Arthur and Athena simultaneously discovered a breakthrough - the gap that had reappeared. They quickly adjusted their tactics and concentrated all their forces to launch a fierce attack there.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the gap was successfully breached. The enemy's formation collapsed instantly, and their morale dropped sharply. Arthur and Athena took advantage of the situation and pursued them, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.

As a large number of knights poured into the castle, it seemed to declare victory in the battle, but in fact it was only the beginning of the battle. The real street fighting meat grinder had just begun, and every step was a road paved with blood and fire.

"What is that?" The team in front of Athena suddenly let out a terrifying cry, followed by a painful wail. A suffocating sense of fear filled the air, as if an invisible monster was quietly approaching.

When Athena led her men to rush over, the team had been devoured, leaving only a mess of the battlefield. However, strangely, their armor was still intact, without any signs of damage. This scene was chilling, as if those warriors were devoured by some invisible force.

"This is the bone-eroding magic of the dark wizard, a terrible dark magic." Gilliana explained loudly, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her voice. This magic can silently corrode the inside of the human body, causing people to lose their lives without knowing it, while no scars can be seen on the outside.

Faced with such a tricky situation, Athena decisively ordered: "The front row knights activate the blessing of holy light!" Because this is a holy war, everyone's armor is specially treated magic equipment. As long as enough magic power is provided, the light magic of the equipment can be stimulated to form a protective barrier to resist the invasion of dark forces.

However, this consumption is also huge, and it is impossible to use it all the time. Athena can only let everyone take turns to use the Holy Light Blessing and move forward alternately to ensure that the team can maintain its combat effectiveness in this cruel battle. She knows that only by unity can they achieve the final victory in this life-and-death contest.

As we walked along, the scene around us was terrifying. There were corpses everywhere, lying on the ground in all directions, some incomplete, some unrecognizable. Among these corpses, there were both enemy and friendly ones, and even some unknown creatures. The air was filled with the smell of blood and rot, which made people almost suffocate.

The bodies of the enemies were scattered everywhere, their expressions twisted and painful, as if they had experienced great fear and despair in the last moments of their lives. Some bodies had been burned black, leaving only vague outlines; others were pierced by sharp weapons, and the blood stained the surrounding ground red. These former enemies were now just cold corpses, lying there quietly, no longer posing a threat to anyone.

However, what is even more heartbreaking is the bodies of their own people. They were once comrades, friends, and even relatives. They fought for a common goal, but eventually fell on this land. Some faces are still recognizable, while others are completely unrecognizable. There are wounds left by swords, traces of burns, and scars from being bitten by wild beasts on their bodies. Each scar is a testimony to their heroic battles, but it is also a sign of the end of their lives.

In addition, there are some unknown creature corpses mixed in. These creatures have different shapes, some are covered with scales, some have sharp claws, and some emit strange light. They may be some unknown monsters, or they may be creatures summoned by magic. No matter what they are, they have now become piles of rotting meat, and together with other corpses, they are gradually forgotten by time.

As time went by, the bodies began to rot and emit a foul smell. Flies and maggots crawled over the bodies, pecking at the remaining flesh and blood. The wind blew, bringing up clouds of dust, covering the bloodstains on the ground. Everything was slowly disappearing, as if it had never happened.

But it's not over yet. Although the bodies will rot, the memories will not disappear. Every dead person has his own story, and every experience is worth remembering. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, they have left their footprints here. And those unknown creatures may be the unknown side of this world, waiting for people to explore and understand.

"Lady Athena, this is not right. We just came in. How could there be so many rotting corpses here?" Alpha couldn't help but complain as the air was filled with the disgusting smell of corruption. His voice echoed in the empty tunnel, and even the echo seemed to tremble a little.

"This is a time tunnel, a time node. The space and time here are very unstable. We must be more careful, otherwise we will be swallowed by the time and space cracks." Gunns realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly reminded his companions loudly. His eyes were full of vigilance and tension, as if he was ready to deal with sudden danger at any time.

At this moment, a knight behind him accidentally leaned against the wall, and was instantly swallowed by an invisible force. In the blink of an eye, half of the knight's body was normal, while the other half was rotten and smelly, emitting a disgusting smell. Seeing this, his companions immediately rushed forward and tried to use light magic to rescue him, but everything happened too fast and there was no time to rescue him. After the unfortunate knight let out a shrill scream, he completely disappeared into the air, as if he had never existed.

This scene shocked and frightened everyone. They realized that this time tunnel was far more dangerous than they had imagined. Everyone began to act more cautiously, fearing that they would become the next victim. The stench in the air became stronger and stronger, as if every breath was reminding them that this was a world full of unknowns and dangers.

"There's someone ahead."
