I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 286: All Out, 9 Dead and 1 Survived

"Save me." Alpha looked at the werewolf running towards him and turned around and ran.

Alpha's actions were so quick and decisive that everyone present was surprised. This action not only stunned the werewolves chasing him for a moment, but also made Athena Gunns and others who were watching the game below feel ashamed.

After all, in their opinion, a true knight should face the enemy bravely, move forward courageously, and even protect his teammates and friends at all costs. However, Alpha's behavior is obviously far from the image of a knight in their hearts.

Taking advantage of the enemy's distraction, the two sides pulled away from each other, which gave Alpha a chance to escape. He used this opportunity to desperately run forward, trying to get rid of the werewolves who were chasing him. Although he knew that doing so might make him look cowardly and incompetent, he just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

At the same time, Athena did not go up to rescue Alpha directly, but calmly commanded the other team members: "Guns, Strong, you two go to ambush over there, we will annihilate these werewolves first."

Athena's voice was firm and powerful, as if she had foreseen the victory. After hearing the order, Gunns and Strong quickly chose the ambush site, ready to give the werewolves a fatal blow.

At this time, Alpha was almost tumbling and crawling, fleeing forward in panic, making the werewolves behind him laugh. The other party did not seem to be in a hurry to end this cat and mouse game, but instead enjoyed the process of chasing.

They followed Alpha slowly, making mocking remarks from time to time, trying to provoke the fleeing knight. However, no matter how the werewolves provoked him, Alpha only quickened his pace, wanting only to escape from this terrible place.

"Oh my god, it's too late." Alpha thought to himself that it was not good. Although he had tried his best to run, he was still just a little short. When he was only 30 meters away from the ambush site set by Athena, the werewolf behind him was already very close, almost within reach.

At this critical moment, Alpha turned around suddenly, holding Arthur's long sword across his chest, ready to meet the upcoming attack. However, the high-speed moving wave could not stop in time, and it directly hit Alpha's sword. With a crisp metal collision sound, the body of the wave was split in two, but its huge impact also acted on Alpha at the same time.

This powerful force caused Alpha to be thrown back more than ten meters. He rolled several times in the air before finally landing. Despite this, his body continued to roll on the ground for several more times before finally stopping. Pain came from all over his body, but he knew he had to stand up as soon as possible.

At this moment, Athena's voice came to his ears: "I told you to practice well, but now you can't even beat a few werewolves. It's shameful." Hearing the familiar voice, Alpha breathed a sigh of relief - at least it meant that he was safe now. Although he was injured, he was lucky to escape this disaster.

At the same time, Gunns and Strong had quickly adjusted their status and were ready for the next wave of attacks. They knew that the werewolves would not give up, especially under the bloody stimulation, the werewolves' power would become even stronger.

"We need a plan," Strong whispered, his eyes fixed on the shadow approaching in the distance.

"That's right," Athena nodded, her eyes revealing determination, "We can use the terrain to our advantage and lead them into that narrow valley. There, we can better control the situation."

The three exchanged glances quickly, then dispersed in tacit understanding, each looking for the best position. Gunns was responsible for luring the werewolf into the preset trap area; Strong hid aside, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time; and Athena stood on a high place, providing long-range support with her bow and arrow.

As the sun penetrated the clouds and illuminated the entire battlefield, the wolves became more violent. They let out deafening howls and launched a fierce charge towards Gunns. However, the experienced Gunns was not intimidated. Instead, he used his flexible steps to constantly dodge the enemy's attacks and gradually guided them in the predetermined direction.

When the last werewolf stepped into the valley, Strong suddenly jumped out from the darkness, slashing the night sky with his sword, and accurately cut off the neck of the leader. Almost at the same moment, Athena's arrow shot like a meteor into the heart of another werewolf who was trying to escape. The remaining few wanted to turn around and flee, but they found themselves trapped in this natural cage.

After a fierce fight, the last werewolf finally fell under the combined siege of the three. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, but more of it was the joy and peace brought by victory.

"Well done!" Gunns laughed while breathing heavily. Despite multiple injuries on his body, a proud smile was on his face.

"Yeah, we did it." Strong patted him on the shoulder in approval.

Athena put away her bow and arrow, walked over to the two of them, and said softly, "Today is just the beginning. There will be more challenges waiting for us in the future. I hope you can take your training more seriously next time."

Hearing this, Alpha couldn't help but smile bitterly. He also wanted to train! The key was that he didn't have the time!

"Lady Athena, the enemy has surrounded us. There are at least a hundred werewolves." Just after everyone killed the twenty or so werewolves in front of them, the werewolves behind them all surrounded them.

"Why did they abandon the Knights of Odyssey and choose to attack us?" Alpha couldn't help but suspect that there must be a conspiracy.

Alpha looked around, trying to find any possible clues or flaws. However, apart from the approaching werewolf army, there was silence all around, as if the whole world was watching the bloody battle that was about to unfold.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. We must fight our way out." Guns wiped his sword. This time they must go all out.

Gunns' eyes flashed with determination. Even in the face of such a large number of enemies, he had no intention of retreating. He knew that only by uniting together could they find a glimmer of hope.

"We can charge forward. Their main force is coming. There should be no ambush above now." Faced with the siege of more than a hundred werewolves, Alpha's first choice was to escape.

Although Alpha was one of the team, in this situation, survival was the most important thing, so he made a quick decision and led the remaining team members to break out in a relatively weak direction.

"We are knights. We will never surrender or flee." Guns swore loudly. His voice echoed in the night sky, full of indomitable spirit and courage. Although he knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, he still insisted on his belief and vowed to protect everyone around him until the last moment.

"Let's go." But Athena also chose to evacuate at the first opportunity. After all, if she stayed with such a large number of enemies, she would be waiting for death. As one of the core members of the team, she knew that the most important thing at this time was to ensure everyone's safety. Therefore, after a brief hesitation, she also gave the order to retreat.

"Wait for me." Gunns faced the wolf pack alone and turned around and ran. His figure looked particularly lonely and brave in the moonlight. Although he was filled with fear and anxiety, he still chose to stay behind to buy more time for his teammates to escape from danger.

The road ahead was blocked, and everyone was moving very slowly, and could only fight and retreat at the same time. Every step was extremely difficult, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and tension. Despite this, no one gave up hope, and everyone followed each other's footsteps closely, and together resisted the attacks from all directions.

"In this situation, it is almost impossible to escape. We must have someone stay behind to cover our retreat." Guns was right, but the problem was who would take on this dangerous task.

"I'll cover you, you go first." Athena stepped forward without hesitation, showing her sense of responsibility and courage as a leader. Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she was ready to sacrifice herself.

"No, you are the Knight Commander, you go first, we will cover you." Strong immediately objected. He was a traditional knight and would never allow his superior to stay behind and take risks. In his opinion, protecting superiors was one of the duties of every knight.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened - Alpha said directly: "Okay, then we will leave first, you stay and cover us." After saying that, he turned around and left the scene. This move shocked everyone and also cast contemptuous eyes.

"What a waste! Shameless! Not worthy of being a real knight!" Guns shouted angrily, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with Alpha's behavior. His words were full of disappointment and indignation.

Despite the difficulties, Athena did not give up hope and continued to shoot the approaching enemies with her bow and arrows. However, facing the huge number of wolves, it was obviously difficult for a few people to resist for too long.

"Let's go together. I won't leave anyone behind." Strong said his determination firmly, and quickly moved to the position in front of Athena, ready to meet the upcoming challenge. His actions showed his determination to give everything for the team, even if it meant facing death.

"Hurry up, what are you talking about?" Just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the werewolves, Alpha's voice suddenly came from a distance. His voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and an unquestionable command.

"Haven't we decided to split up and cover the retreat? Why don't you retreat quickly!" Alpha said as he skillfully operated the dual guns in his hands and continuously shot at the werewolves rushing up.

At this moment, Alpha seemed to not care about the consumption of ammunition at all. Every bullet was a special armor-piercing bullet, specially used to deal with these tough monsters. Every time he pulled the trigger, there was a crisp and powerful sound, as if announcing his determination and courage.

Seeing this, Athena realized that the situation was urgent and she could not hesitate any longer. She made a quick judgment and immediately issued a retreat order: "Everyone, listen up, evacuate immediately according to the planned route!"

Following Athena's order, the originally hesitant team immediately took action and moved to a safe area in an orderly manner. Although they were filled with fear of unknown dangers, they still followed Athena's footsteps closely and did not dare to slack off.

At the same time, Alpha continued to stay behind to cover his teammates' evacuation. His eyes were as firm as iron, and the double guns in his hands were like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of the enemies.

"Don't just run! Retreat alternately and circle the enemy. They don't have long-range attack capabilities." Alpha immediately reminded everyone loudly after they withdrew from the canyon. His voice echoed in the empty battlefield, sounding particularly clear.

Athena quickly understood Alpha's intention, and she immediately commanded the team to adopt a new tactic: "Lead the werewolves in circles and adopt mobile warfare." Her voice was firm and powerful, instilling confidence in everyone.

The people were riding on war horses, and their speed was no slower than that of the werewolves. They moved flexibly across the battlefield, sometimes speeding up and sometimes turning suddenly, making it difficult for the werewolves to figure out their whereabouts. This highly mobile combat method not only effectively avoided head-on conflicts, but also made the werewolves gradually exhausted during the pursuit.

At the same time, Alpha and Athena used their long-range attack capabilities to continuously attack the wolf pack. Arrows rained down on the enemy, and each arrow hit the target accurately; while Athena used powerful magic, and radiant energy waves surged from her palms, repelling and even knocking down groups of werewolves.

With this kind of cooperation, the number of werewolves decreased rapidly without anyone noticing. The beasts, which were once extremely ferocious, became chaotic and no longer united in attacking humans as before. Seeing this scene, everyone felt unprecedented hope - victory seemed to be within reach.

"I have no more arrows, Alpha." Seeing Alpha stop attacking, Athena also put away the empty quiver. Her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, but more of a firmness and indomitable spirit.

"Let's retreat, the enemy is chasing us again." Guns warned loudly, his voice full of anxiety. He looked around, trying to find a safe retreat route.

As the sun set, they had been fighting for several hours straight, and their horses were already panting under the heavy load. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, which made people feel depressed.

"No, the werewolves are stronger at night. We must kill them in this last chance. There are only more than 30 of them." Athena knew that they could not outrun the wolf pack at night. Her voice was calm but full of power. She knew that now was not the time to retreat. Only by facing the difficulties head-on could there be a glimmer of hope.

"Kill them." Unexpectedly, Alpha stayed behind first this time. He jumped off his horse, let it rest on the side, and wiped the blood off his sword. The next battle would be a naked hand-to-hand fight. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he had already prepared for the worst.

In fact, Alpha still had 20 armor-piercing bullets, but he didn't use them all up. It was enough to kill the remaining werewolves in close combat. He knew the importance of ammunition and couldn't waste it unnecessarily. He wanted to use these precious resources at the most critical moment.

"Lady Athena, we are all here." At this moment, Gunns and Strong also chose to stay and fight together. Their figures looked particularly tall in the sunset, as if they were an indestructible barrier. Their eyes were full of determination and courage, ready to face the upcoming battle.
